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

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.

GARRY TOY: Our Neepawa import putted around the football field this year. Toy’s snooker score frequently topped his physics mark (so, what else is new?). Slightly backwards, our Gaily had a different slant on school food (especially chop suey). Ryder’s dorm-mate was ocassionally found buried in somebody else’s newspaper. May your fortune cookie crumble favourably Garry. NORMAN TROUTH: Lee, another member of the FADulous dorm, was the mastermind and co¬ builder of that famous ceiling development scheme, Thunker City. Trousers wrote poetry in an expres¬ sive and modern style and kept the Apteryx sup¬ plied. Our newest addition to the Spectres, inter¬ ested in holding Canada together, kept in touch with Calgary and Montreal, occasionally phoning the former and planning a group visit to the latter at Easter. Loved by maths teachers, Trousers was a firm member of the Voluntary Exercise Group (V.E.G.), only he didn’t exercise. KIETH YONGE: Kieth was thought to have lost all of his marbles but we know he still has one AG I left. Our wandering minstrel’s favorite thoughts are of seranading at DAWN. As well as getting truely exceptional French marks, bun-face was a frim follower of Alexander Gr aham Bell. Always positive and unswaying in his convictions, Kieth left Pennock alone because of her unsure character. Dismayed at Mag’s poker playing, our third stump braved the football field, met his buddy cousins, and got all choked up. Bun missed 25% on his Christmas lit paper, but the future should hold brighter things at the University of Alberta. Good luck Bun. PAUL WILSON: Flyyn, with his twig fingers, played senior football and basketball this year. Editor of the yearbook and resident of Thompson House, Willy hailed from hmmm, New York, no- San Francisco, no ah yes, New Town, North Dakota. Yank bashed through the mountains to Vancouver with Frog last Christmas holidays, where he checked out fire hydrants with Ken. After caroling in Minot, Yank returned to S.J.R. to grab Kiddell’s leftovers. Never disagreeing with Chem or Maths masters, Paul played the guitar in his spare time. We hope you can engineer your way into the college of your choice. Gwlmiu PAUL TRUELOVE: Poor Paul was Simonized by Mr. MacKenzie. Handsome Paul PARTicipated in numerous school activities. . .hmmmm (hair combing?). One Thursday he went flying with Malcolmson and came back (-) combing his hair. Our bleach blond understudies in the school play, but still found time to fit in senior soccer and his 5 2 Pontiac into his busy schedule. Intended Profession: Doctor Probable Destiny: Hairstylist
