Grade Thirteen Graduates JAY BURN Rolla was one of the more popular members of Grade 13, and he accomplished much in the six years he attended Appleby. In sports he has won the Victor Ludorum and has been very active in the Gymnastics Team for five years. In team sports he was a member of the First Squash Team, and a member of the Senior Football Team for two years, in his last season earning his Colours. In the spring term Jay was a sometime member of the Rugger Team, and pursued his excellent abilities around the track. In his scholastic endeavours. Jay was a steady student and he won the General Progress Prize in Grade 11. In other areas he was a major in the Cadet Corps and a responsible Prefect in Powell ' s House. In the past year, Jay has been a driving force behind the Monday Night Club and will no doubt open a branch office at the University of Guelph next year. KERRY CANTLE Harry has bummed around the College for four years now and in this time I ' m certain he has managed to encounter every physical injury possible. If it was not his knee or his head, it was his knee AND his head. Transcendental has a very good final year overall. He was Vice-Captain of Football, Hockey and Rugger, earning his Colours in all three sports. He was Head Prefect of Colley House, Lieutenant in charge of the Band, and a member of the Student Council for three years. Kerry is thinking of attending Carleton University and going into Political Science next year, but he may end up taking a year off to recuperate. One thing he will always be remembered for though is having sideburns longer than his legs.

The Head Boy ' s Message It has been a good year! Academically and athletically the School has achieved better results. All teams have shown great spirit and I believe that there has been a good feeling in the School. This year has been good only because of this good feeling, and all the credit is due entirely to the boys and to the way in which they have ap- proached Appleby. The Prefects and Grade 13 have had a difficult job to do this year. We have had to make decisions that we did not want to make and that were hard to make. However, the boys made it much easier for us. There have been times when we have not seen eye to eye on certain matters, but I am sure you will realize that we did what we believed to be right. This year is over. What happens next year is up to the boys retur- ning. You can make it a success or a failure. If you realize the op- portunities that you have here, you will take advantage of them and thus enrich your years here. Appleby is more than school work, as our class knows. We have formed friendships with you boys and with the masters which will last forever. We have played hockey, baseball and bridge with the masters - this is only a small part of the fun that you know you can have here. What happens to the College in the future means a lot to the graduating class, but we know that with the present boys and masters, it can only get better. Mr. Larsen, masters and boys, we will never be able to properly ex- press our thanks for all you have done for us. Thank you, and good-bye. David Crosbie Head Boy

MICHAEL CHENG The first thing anyone notices about M are his shiny, white, teetf and his dazzling smile. In his three years here, Mike has maintained a high academic standard, earning his Gold Optimates this year. M has demonstrated his ability to help by taking on a role as Library Supervisor. Certainly our class would have lacked something without him. Though he is presently uncertain of his plans for next year, it is without doubt that he will readily make new friends wherever he goes. WINSTON CHUCK Even though Winston would rather sleep than attend class, his first and last year at Ap- pleby was very successful. Possessing the Oriental aptitude for math, it was possible for him to pursue his favourite pastime. Apart from sleeping Winston played on the First Rugger Team and was a prominent member of the First Swim Team. His outspoken views were often humourously to the point. Maybe next year the University of Western Ontario can keep him awake. DAVID CROSBIE This year the School showed a new spirit and enthusiasm, and much of the credit for this must go to our Head Boy, Dave Crosbie. Newf played Open Rugger and First Team Foot- ball for two years and was Head of Argus Advertising for a similar period of time. He main- tained a high level of academic achievement throughout his stay at Appleby, and, ac- cording to himself at least, was a model of studiousness to be emulated by all . (??). In other aspects of College life, Dave was a co-founder and regular member of the Monday Night Club, and a big moment in his life came when he was elected Captain of the Cross- country Ski Team. He was also known for his activities behind the scenes, particularly in Grade 10 and 11, but the thing that amazed everyone was that he never got caught! Now you might ask: What is ' Newf, with all his talents, going to do next year? The answer is simple - take a year off! Good luck, Dave!
