Headboy ' s Message In a school as small as Appleby, there must be always a wealth of communication between those who lead and those who are led. For it is only in this way that the School ' s closeness and Spirit will be maintained. Many of the problems in societ y stem from a lack of communication between classes, races or generations. Thus, it is imperative that we learn to communicate effectively and to acquire the basic skills. Learn to write accurately and concisely. Articulate your thoughts when you speak, and remember, if you are a good listener, you will be a better speaker. The attitudes and growth of Appleby will be healthy if we try to develop a rapport with each other, and this pertains especially to those in authority. Appleby cannot afford to lose the intimacy which has been a part of this school for decades, and something which has led to so many other good things. If you are a leader: set a good example; uphold the system; and listen so that you may be better equipped to communi- cate with your changes. If you serve the system: improve yourself by becoming involved, and listen to those in authority and your contemporaries. My best wishes to you all.

Grade 13 MARTIN CAIRD ' Mike ' is a quiet but friendly person, easy to get along with, and well-liked. He has played for the school in tennis and squash many times over the years, and he has also been a stalwart member of the Harriers. Since arriving at Appleby three years ago he has been involved with many clubs, among them Woodwork- ing, Badminton, Geography, and the Political Party, and he has also partici- pated in the Operetta. DAVID CANNON ' Involved ' is the best word to sum up Dave ' s six years at Appleby. He is a very good student (a Foundation Scholar) and has always maintained a high average in his school work. He has earned his Gold Optimates and this year won the dis- tinction of being one of the few Ontario students who wrote a perfect Mathe- matics paper in the S. A. C.U. examinations. Athletically, ' Stats ' has thrown most of his energy into Harriers, a cross-country running team which he helped to found. The Debating Society is much indebted to him for his support, as are several other activities, most notably the Operetta. m n GORDON CASPERD The ' basketball star ' of the College, Gord, in his seven years here, has con- tributed much.
