THOMAS HENKEL Heem has been at the College for five years and in that time he has shown us a few of his abilities by being Head Prefect of Walker House, President of the Student Activities Committee, Literary Editor of the Argus, Captain of the Colour Party, a member of both the First Swimming and Tennis Teams, and a notable sprinter. Scholastically, he has con- sistently maintained an average of 70% or better. The major disappointment in Tom ' s life at Appleby has been that because of his young age he was legally prevented from visiting the Halton . We wish him the very best of luck for the future. MICHEIL JENNINGS Mike has attended the School for five years. In athletics he played on the First Football and Basketball Teams for three years, and on the First Cricket XI for two. This year he was a prefect in Powell ' s House and for the fourth consecutive year was a Chapel Warden. Mike ' s most notable achievements, however, were on the Appleby stage. He was in three Operettas - for two as a member of the Chorus, and this year in the leading role of Koko in The Mikado . Along the same line, he was also a member of the Chapel Choir for two years. Mike has always been most eager to participate in School functions and we hope that he will remain in contact with Appleby and continue to contribute to it in the years to come. PERRY JOSEPH Nippon has been with us for five years and in all his accomplishments nothing has astounded us more than his talents on the guitar. Perry has been involved in many ac- tivities ranging from professional cadet boot polishing to becoming a successful pottery maker. He is well known in the School for his acting endeavours, particularly as Fagin in Appleby ' s production of Oliver! He has always been a steady student as well as an oc- casional member of the Unsupervised Study List. This year Perry was a Prefect in Colley House and a member of the First Hockey Team. His creative nature appears to make him destined for a career in either art or music. Whichever course he takes in life, we wish him all the best of luck. 13

SCOT HAWTHORNE Chumly arrived from England this year uncertain of what to expect but determined to have a good time. A fine physical specimen, he has made good use of his athletic talents and played on the First Football Team and Basketball Team, as well as on the Open Rugger Team. Scot was a hard worker and was always ready for a joke. He will always be remembered for that hot October afternoon when he ploughed through the offensive line so hard that he broke his helmet! We wish him all the best in the future at whatever Canadian Military College he attends. DEREK HODGE Derek has never astounded anybody with his mathematical skills and because of this he gets his nickname. Delog . During his three years at Appleby, however, Derek has never forgotten his studies, as was evident this year when he received his Gold Optimates. This year he was Prefect in Colley House, an avid member of the First Rugger Team, a superior defensive lineman on the Second Football Team, and a valuable asset to the First and Second Basketball Teams as their Manager. Derek hopes to attend Guelph next year and someday become a landscape architect. As long as Derek ' s career has nothing to do with Mathematics he will surely be a success in his endeavours. ; Ha t JIM HOU In his five years in Oakville, Jim has earned and maintained the respect of all who have come to know him. A true scholar, J.C. has received awards for his linguistic abilities in French and Latin each June, as well as his Gold Optimates and a lengthy stay on the Un- supervised Study List. Jim was also an able Harrier. However, his greatest interests lay in the Fine Arts. These abilities have been readily displayed, and will be greatly missed in future, in the backdrops and sets for The Mikado , The Gondoliers and Oliver! which he designed and painted. His paintings were also unique and refreshing. Jim is also an ac- complished pianist. When time permitted, the College ' s number one Debussy fan was also a Walker House Prefect and Captain in the Cadet Corps Next year J.C. will be working towards a Bachelor of Architecture Degree at the Rhode Island School of Design.

WILSON LEUNG Willy Baby has been with us now for three years and in that time has adapted very well. In Grade 12 he received the Math and Chemistry awards and was consistently on the Un- supervised Study List. In Grade 13. through his endless efforts, Willy was awarded his Gold Optimates. It was a rare occasion when he didn ' t get 100% on a Math exam or test. In other areas Wilson was a member of the Soccer Team, Second Squash Team and a track and field star - it ' s no wonder he was the Grade 13 hockey star in the Masters ' game. What a stud! Willy ' s easy come, easy go nature, and good sense of humour will be missed by all his classmates, and we wish him all the best of luck next year at the University of Toronto. IAN MANN Since coming to Appleby four years ago, Ian has constantly kept his classmates on their toes with his subtle humour. In regards to athletics, he has spent four years on the Senior Soccer Team and two years on the First Cricket XI, earning his Colours in the latter. During the months when that white stuff was on the ground, this Bermudian was an avid member of the Squash League. Academically, Ian has been a good student, being on the Unsupervised Study List on occasion, and in Grade 11 he earned his Optimates, an honour that has unfortunately eluded him since then. Behind the scenes he was a key man in the production of decorations for numerous dances. Next year Ian plans to take a year off to work before returning to his studies. We wish him all the best. CHRISTOPHER MERRITT Chris has spent six full years at Appleby. He has been on the First Football Team for three years, record board for all three, a member of the First Hockey Team, and has been awar- ded his Colours in Cricket as being one of the key members of the First XI. Over the years Chris has been a responsible asset to the School particularly in his last year as Dorm Prefect in Powell ' s House, Head Chapel Warden and Commanding Officer of the Cadet Corps. He was Co-Editor of an award-winning Argus, and last year in Grade 12 he was the winner of the Lieutenant Governor ' s Silver Medal. Chris is often found in poor humour until the topic of conversation changes to Volkswagens, motorcycles, or the farm, and he has been known to spend his time on wrenches, spark plugs and oil filters rather than on fancy women and other lighter pleasures . Appleby will miss Chris a great deal and whatever he does in the future, we wish him all the best of luck.
