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.

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.

Grade Twelve Graduates TERRY BOURNE Rudy has been here for two and a half years. During this time he has applied himself fully to the Second Football, Hockey and Rugger Teams. He also made his mark in the Operetta Chrous for two years. Rudy could always be counted on to crack any tense moment with a quick one-liner. His unique sense of humour has gotten him out of more than one sticky situation. Rudy hopes to continue his education next year and get his Grade 13 credit. Best wishes for the future. TONY BRADDOCK Tony has had five good years at Appleby. During that time he has been involved in many activities. Last year Tony managed our student-operated Tuck-shop and this year, took over the position of Business Manager for the Argus. One gift of which he was particularly proud and which still amazes us was the way he leaned on a cue . Tony was our billiards Champion for 1973-74 and the smart money rides on him again this year. He was indeed our own Minnesota Fats . Tony was also one of the chorus members for this year ' s Operetta, The Mikado . Tony will be missed around the College as he is a one-in-a- million nice guy and we wish him nothing but success in the future. KEVIN JOHNSTON Kevin Johnston is a man with an original, one might almost say, unique mind. Few students at Appleby can have remained less affected by its schooling than Kevin and have emerged with such a direct, uncomplicated simplicity of nature. A broad smile, a healthy chuckle and a certain stubbornness are Kevin ' s hallmarks. A stalwart of the First Football Team and Second Cricket XI, Kevin has also been the honorary leader of the Bush League and is proud once to have been on Supers . As his yellow Cortina burns off into the dawn of life beyond Appleby, we raise our elbows in a gesture of fraternal good wishes.
