GwduMlM DAVID McBEATH: Our quiet introverb is a SOUND chem student. He was aLOUD to par¬ ticipate in school activities such as hockey and football and, at times, soft spoken Dave annoised everyone with his calm, reasonable arguments. Meg (aphone) pulled gus’ tail from under him. McBeath, McBeath, McBeath, how sounds your Imperial theme? Dig! Razz! Brake! Rumble! Screech! Drag! Pause. Silence (out of breath, Dave?) Really, Dave was an active asset to the sixth. Good luck, Dave. IAN MALCOLMSON: A guy like Ian kind of grows on you. Weird Beard,” with the motive of chasing BH girls this year, got his flying license and became a bush pilot. After many close shaves on the ski slopes, Ski Mondays played a perma- ent part of Maquis’ school work (even in the Spring). Scrunch scraped through the academic year particularly delighting in mathematics. WAYNE MITCHELL: The only Canadian from Colorado Springs, our teddy bear showed his stuff on the Fort William ski trip. Mitch also played senior soccer. Lurch’s dorm-mate unhap¬ pily found his room adjoined to Veg’s, Frog’s, and Pill’s dorm, and complained bitterly of Frog’s midnight jokes. Soon Mitch had the key to the situation though. Unexpectedly awakened, Mitch- ner saw time fly at 4:00 A.M., all to Frog’s alarm. In his spare time, our brainy bristlepad memor¬ ized log tables or created correct chem electron equations. DAVID NICHOLS: There is a rumor around that David B. attended S.J.R. this year. . .Chopin forsook his athletic career for such pursuits as piano pounding and cycle cruising. Our sad Santa was leader of the Cadet Band and ran the Volun¬ tary Exercise Group (V.E.G.). One of the quieter members of the Sixth, Dave may dessert to an American University next year. Good luck! JOHN NANSON: Mike was one of Professor J. Nanson’s better chem students this year. Scraping through physics with an 80, John also found time to teach Lurch and Block some judo. Our shutter bug, who is responsible for many of this year’s candids, also taught photography as an option. Being a hardy senior footballer and nature boy, John chose to sleep out on the balcony this winter. We wish John all the best of luck in university. BOB PILBROW: Our nervous mouse, a semi¬ active member of the Sixth, played volleyball and soccer until an injury set him back a bit. Pillbox’s dragging ambitions were curbed early in the year, so he wasn’t consoled later when he became at¬ tached to Stovel. What Pill couldn’t do with muscle, he did with words as Gabby, the famous Apteryx columnist. Bob also attended a few maths classes this year, but always left in the middle to get his books.

G ' wJm M DON HONEYMAN: Honk excelled in football, hockey, volleyball, and syndicate functions. Spend¬ ing most of his time under the kitchen counter, Don also had a tickertape affair with a guy from Frik-a-Frak (that well known metropolis). Super¬ cycle can be seen (if you don’t blink) decimating the canine class. Stovelly and Honk constantly conspired to blow up the chem lab although they never pulled it off. DEREK GREENIAUS: Gwad was the goal-den boy of the senior soccer team and could after¬ wards be found in the rifle range. His ambition is to present a mink coat to his mother (!?). Our fearless hunter is rapidly driving the wildlife of St. James to extinction. Der took time out from his studies to swing at dances. However, under the calming influence of David B., Derek con¬ cealed the true nature of his character. JOHN KIRBY: Our St. Vital spectacle skied, played senior soccer, took absentee slips to the office and ran the cross-country this year. Our only practical joker would fume when he came back from hunting without a deer. Our three wheeled (steering wheel and two other wheels) driver plans to get a B.S.A. 50 for more power, and thus we wish him luck, (don’t go too fast, John). DOUG MACDONALD: Lou played ra ther a rough game of football, bowser ball, and basket¬ ball, somehow managing to get away with the dirtiest moves. Besides continuing his revision of the English language, Lou disposed his talents on French, much to the grief of Mr. Glegg. Doug spent most of his weekends bouncing off curbs with Pill. Lou, Nanson’s dorm-mate, was recogniz¬ able from lengthly distances because of his unique and piercing laugh. GREG KLASSEN: Cassius made a big hit with his Honda this year, much to Frog’s delight. Our slightly nosey character doesn’t shave much and thus, he is often seen with the fuzz. Our hard working physics fan made a big hit with Mike this year and great things are expected from him next year (at the Frats). KERRY MAGNUS: Black Mag boarded; in Thompson House and on the rinks. He curled for the school in the Inter-high Bonspiel last Christmas holidays. As well as playing Senior Soccer and getting the championship winning touchdown in house football, our garbage man took up skiing where he found a disliking for moque-hills.” We hope you get a good deal as you shuffle on through life.

GwkaJta BRIAN RYDER: Although new to Winnipeg, Brian was fairly well known in the city. Red played senior football this year and knew the positions as halfback pretty well. Stovel’s French rival was the star of the basketball team even though he picked up the occasional foul. Red wanted a better deal on the good luck wishes so we wish him good luck in June of Grade 12 instead of next year. . .hope it works! IAN RANKIN: Racing for the wire, Rankinstien cleared the forward vision of a Volks 1500 al¬ though Pete didn’t appreciate it. Four eyes knose his history well and laughed his way through other subjects, plaguing the teachers with revelant ques¬ tions. Ian participated in senior soccer, track and field, and the High School Curling Bonspiel. Rank could often be found double dating with Pete. As our promising political science student, we wish him luck next year. PETER SCHLUDERMANN: Once In motion, Pete’s pinstriped, red VW 1500 (a cheap imitation of a Porsche 904) was hard to focus on. Our physics brain excelled in skiing and has become one of the school’s best track and field stars. The only Ravenscourt Chiquita representative annoyed Mike by peeling around the class, being a scape¬ goat for everything that wnet wrong (he looks guilty). McBeath’s decibel rival was ”Hook”-ed at the start of the year but, later, George Gosko stole the lure. We wish Pete good luck next year. AARON SCHWARTZ: Archbishop Aaron Schwartz had a very busy year excommunicating everyone in sight. Igor co-co-ordinated, with Fitz- john the Monday options and tutorial system be¬ sides pretending to play tennis in his spare time. Our Red River Scholar took a major role in the play and aided our Royal Highness in representing S.J.R. in the model U.N. Aunt Jemima was the unblamed genius behind many a classroom plot, but still obtained a high scholastic standing. PAUL SCHMIDT: Butterball, standing a towering 5 ’ 2 ” (in his discothique boots) hates school food- all five helpings daily-and courageously tried to train his weight in Monday Options. A favorite of Mr. Waudby’s and a founding member of the French Class Ladies’ Guild, our roly-poly friend could be found leading his pet goat. King-curler a-choir-ed a booming singing voice (yelling at Liz’s house with Bumf and Frogs), helped to organize the winter carnival, and took a role in the school play. BOB STOVEL: Roberte Stovelle aimez boucoupe de Frenche. Bob, our happy fad follower bummed around on his Honda and found that he was at¬ tracted to Pill’s car. Droopy Drawers’ heavy reduc¬ ing plan required that he give up his soggy corn flakes. Our gambling man took a chance on Burns and went to Florida at Easter. Blob Bob, earlier knighted Sir Kumpherence naturally changed to a Hustler in the spring. Intended Profession: medic Probable Destiny: King of Flin Flon
