KEVIN McMURCHY In his three years away from Kitchener-Waterloo, Kevin has earned all the accolades of scholastic excellence: a library of volumes for academic achievement, Unsupervised Study, Gold Optimates, the Campbell English prize, the Edin Heward public speaking award, and on and on ... The third, and hopefully not last of the clan to attend Appleby was also active in First Team Football and Basketball, as well as Senior Rugger. Kevin has been in The Gondoliers , in charge of Fencing, a Lietutenant in the Cadet Corps, and President of a most successful Debating Society. Kevin won second place at the Ontario High School Debating Finals Tournament this year and first place at the McGill Debating Tournament last year. A fitting climax to this Powell ' s House Prefect ' s career was his recent acceptance at Harvard. JA :pV JAMES NAISH Army , our only poultry farmer from Mississauga, has been with us for five years. He has been quite active in athletics: he played for the First Hockey Team for three years, earned his Colours in that sport, and this year was team Captain; he also finally completed his first full football season without an injury as a member of the First Team. In the spring he played for the Open Rugger Team. His leadership qualities were evident also in his per- formance as a Prefect in Colley House and as CWO of the Cadet Corps. He was perhaps best known and liked for his down to earth nature and as an individual who was easy to get along with. Possible futures lie at Guelph or Cornell in the economic field; Army , we sincerely wish you all the best. ALEX PATERSON Big Al has been at Appleby for four years and has been involved in many aspects of our community life. He has been involved in every dramtic production since his arrival, and this year he was a Prefect in Walker House, a Lieutenant in the Cadet Corps and an of- fensive centre for the First Football Team as well. In the spring as for the past two years, °. represented the School on the First Tennis Team. His academic work this year, though not one of his favourite activities, was of good quality. Alex hopes to attend McGill Univer- sity to study History, and we wish him all the best.

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.

JOHN STANSELL In five years at Appleby John has thrown himself completely into the Dramatic Society. He appeared in the chorus of The Gondoliers and Oliver! , and this year undertook a lead role as PishTush in The Mikado . A regular member of the Unsupervised Study List, John was also a stalwart participant in the Choir, Lieutenant in charge of Cadet Stores, and a Day-Boy Prefect. Though not a competent athlete, his efforts in P.T. were always of a praise-worthy nature. It would be difficult to decide where his greatest interest lay - the basement phone, McDonald ' s, or St. Mildred ' s Lightbourne. John hopes to attend U.W.O. and complete a degree in Business Administration. ROLAND TO To-To has been at Appleby for only one year, but he seems to have adjusted to the Canadian way of life very well. Roland ' s academic standing has been admirable, with an average of 80%, and he has earned his Gold Optimates. Roland was the kind of person who would try anything once, and his contributions to the Second Football Team surprised many. He also represented Appleby on the Second Basketball Team and the First Cricket XI. When he arrived at Walker House, pool was as foreign to him as he was to us. He quickly adopted the game and was soon beating some of his occidental friends. He hopes to attend the University of Western Ontario next year to study Business. We wish him all the best in the future. L RICHARD WEBB Although this was only Richard ' s first year at the College, he has accomplished many things and made many friends. His leadership qualities were immediately recognized when he was made a Prefect in Colley House after the first half-term. Athletically, he earned his Colours in hockey, and in the fall and spring terms Rebb played on the Second Football Team and dabbed in Tennis. Next year he hopes to attend the University of Toronto and study Engineering.
