A VALEDICTION: FORBIDDING ACRONYMS Meritis augentur honores Recte omnia duce Deo. So brief your stay, fleeting hours, Come one and all, together say: How can we leave this arcane hall, After light, the dark of day? For years to come in cloistered halls Far from Challoner's frenzied crowd, Time to ponder those you knew Ever grateful, always proud. Rise, go Forth with preppy Hope, Shall not one Bailiwick forgo: And though 'cross water, silent, deep, Your badge display, your mark not Stowe. Stride lightly with a Morris dance, On young legs ne'er let you yield. Upon each back, all eighty-fold, Rests strength which everyone Canfield. Stir hearts amid the Friesen rain, Catch knowledge, beauty as your trade. Have courage lest the ups and downs On cheeks the brine in floods casCade. Oft laud the halls of SMU's grand campus, Let rooves be raised, we have a Thatcher. Islands can be no dame, Norman, Spirit kindred is hard to match her. Super students rank far above Upstart file with stanines nought. Perceive our Jewels on this crushed bark, Each portrait shows what can be wrought Rightly so when learning's bought. Anonymous gg, fi

SUSAN YOUNG In the three years she has been at SMU, Susan has become noted for blushing and her ever changing hairstyles. Susan's hang-ups include grass hockey and sexual innuendos by G.F. Since they slept together at A Strathcona, Morris and Young have become inseparable buddies. PETER YEE Peter should have been a Mexican so that he would have an excuse for not doing his homework and generally being lazy everywhere, except on the soccer field. When not skipping games and going for a cup of coffee at the Apple Tree, he could often be found sleeping in his room and following that up by skipping prep to go to McDonalds with M.B. Seriously, though, he is a great guy, but don't ask Mr. Dunlop to verify that. Andre Remember the grade 12 common room? . . . lunches with All My Children and Bob Newham . . . snoozing during spares , . . last minute cramming for tests . . . who could forget!

SCHGOL HOUSE The House started the year with a trip to Strathcona Lodge. As last year, we were blessed with fine weather and everyone had a great time - both on land and on the water. The ropes course competition on the final day was very competitive and proved exciting as the six teams scrambled and clawed their way up and down the obstacles. We were impressed with the instructors and I am grateful to Mr. Piete, Mr. Walsh, and the Prefects who assisted so valiantly during the weekend. Out of our sixty students some 35 represented the School in the various games and sports over the year. Phil McCune and Greg End, our Senior House prefects played for the lst XV Rugby and Phil enjoyed the UK tour at Easter. Greg went on to play tennis for the school and to compete in the hurdles. Jon Griffin and Doug Friesen, our other prefects did much good work for the film company, the choir and the Student Council. Andy Hohn, John Bauer, and Martin Brooks all came into the I-louse for the last 6 weeks in order to act as House Prefects in preparation for next year. My grateful thanks to all the Prefects for helping so enthusiastically in running the House. Mr. Piete took many weekend trips, and the House took full advantage of the skiing, camping, canoeing, and sailing that were offered. I know everyone was appreciative of Mr. Piete's hard work and interest. The boarders should get away and I was pleased everyone was able to find somewhere on the long weekends. Mi N I . - J QQ, if
