RICHARD CHENG Rich came to us only this year. He was supposed to be in Grade Twelve, but was promoted to Grade Thirteen because the teaching staff felt that he had achieved that stan- dard. They were certainly proved right! He excelled (especially in Mathematics) at a tremendous rate. At all hours of the day one would find students in his room asl ing him for help. He was involved with the Bridge and Computer Clubs. He was a friend to one and all, and we will remember him for his Idndness and understanding to all of us. FRASER CUTLER Fraser is. by general consent, everytxady ' s image of a good guy. Without pretensions, in- deed without obvious distinctions, Fraser has made his way quietly and peacefully through five years of Appleby. It would be a mistake however, to dismiss Fraser as an average sort of fellow. He made his marl , but with less commotion than others. He was, for example, Major Second-in-Command of the Cadet Corps. He is a l een traveller and carried the Ap- pleby message as far away as Italy and even snowy Russia. He was a gentle, kindly leader and a solidly dependable Colley House Prefect. He was also a modest sportsman, playing on the First Rugger and First Football Teams and also swam for the College for two years. His love for the rugged outdoor life made him an ideal instructor for Northward Bound when it started in 1974. He was in every sense a trail-blazer. Logically, Fraser ' s chosen career is in forestry. Good Luck, Sponge! JAMES HALL-BROOKS H-B has t)een at Appleby for five years and has always been near the top of his class. He was a hard worker, and besides tseing a Foundation Scholar, this year he earned his Gold Optimates Although life here is not much different from the confined life of New York City, Jamies has successfully kept himself busy as a Prefect in Walker House, a First Aid In- structor, Deputy Commander of A Company in our Cadet Corps, and as a member of the crew Ijehind the scenes in our dramatic productions. He is an avid cross-country runner, and ran away with five out of nine academic prizes last year. Since our friend hopes to go to England and study Biological Science, we sincerely wish him all the best.

Graduates FERRON BETHELL Benny has flashed and glittered around the College for two golden years, during which time he has clearly established himself as a likeable and co-operative member of the community. Stoically enduring the Canadian climate, he found comfort in dreams of sunny Bahamian t eaches, and in letters from a mysterious southern woman. Not one to waste precious time, he fills the gaps between letters with fine academic work, and demonstrations of athletic powers. This year, he sprinted for the Track Team (oc- casionally), joined Second Team Squash, and gained his Colours on the First Football Team. Outside (and sometimes during) classes, he bettered his pool game, and worked on his photographic skills as a club member. After sunset, a place was always reserved for him in most Grade 13 social activities. Ferron will remain in Canada (in spite of the obvious disadvantages) for a few more years, in order to pursue a career in Biology. PETER-PAUL BLOEMEN We have had tulip with us since Grade Eight. For four years, he has played Football, but his outstanding contributions have been as Assistant Captain of the swimming team and this spring as a member of the open Rugby team. In the spring of Grade Eleven, Peter was an exchange student at Shawnigan School in British Columbia where he was able to pur- sue his greatest interest: sailing. With the exception of that spring away from School, Peter has always helped in odd ways, principally with make-up for the Opperettas and this year ' s play. Peter ' s leadership qualities were proven this year as Captain of the Flag Party and of- ten tested as Prefect of the Powell ' s House Dormitory. Peter was also a Northward Bound Instructor and an avid naturalist. A solid academic background revolving around Maths has lead Peter to choose Engineering as his career, which he hopes to be studying at Queen ' s University next year. IAN CAMERON One of the true veterans of the College, Ian has been engaged in almost every activity possible during his seven years at the School. A sense of responsibility and duty towards the School has made Ian one of the more valuable members of our little community. His in- valuable leadership and devotion to our Cadet Corps c n not go unnoticed, and he has come from Lieutenant of the Best Platoon (in Grade 11) to become Commanding Officer of our Corps in his last year. A true soldier! Ian has served well as a School Prefect and has always been ready to give of his best. He has been a Chapel Warden for four years and has carried the duty out well, also. On the athletic fields, Ian has played for the First Foot- ball Team for three years, and this winter (after having decided to swim) was a member of our I.S.A.A. Championship Team. He also played for the First Cricket XI this year. Ian also has participated in the School ' s Operettas for the past four years and this year, played the role of Freddie in Romanoff and Juliet . With all that he has accomplished at Appleby, it is certainly with regret that we say goodbye to him. The Best of Luck Ian! 4

ERIC HEBERT Eggy has been with us for three years and during this time he has put in a great deal of hard work which earned him a place on the Unsupervised Study List sin ce Grade 11, his Optimates in Grade 12 and his Gold Optimates in Grade 13. A keen sports fan, Egg proved to us that being glued to the television on Sunday afternoons does have favourable outcomes; he was on Second Football for two years and was our big (?) tight end on the First Team this year. His never-ending hard work won him a place on the Record Board. On the ice, Egg showed us his prowess by being Captain of the League Hockey last year! His basketball career on the First Team was ended abruptly when he injured his ankle. Between his studies and sports, Hebert ' orlMuhkwa as we sometimes called him is funloving and responsible, and our resident expert on Indians. He was a Prefect in Powell ' s House this year and his future plan is to study Marine Engineering at Georgian College - all the best, Eggy ! CHARLES KEEFE Charles ' activities for the six years he has been here have ranged from Chess Club to manager of our illustrious First Football Team. On the other side of College life, academically that is, Charles has worked very hard. He has t een the resident business accountant of Colley House as many of the Grade Thirteen students will attest to. Amongst Charles ' various interests perhaps his favourite is the piano. He is a devoted lover, of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. All of these composers, at one time or another, have been conquered by determination and hard work. Charles has the ability to make up his mind, and not be swayed, an admirable trait that will definitely be an advantage to him in the future. We all wish him well. CRAIG KINGSLEY Craig Kingsley is an audlophile with a weakness for marine biology and an orange belt in judo. Despite these eccentricities, his three years as a full scolarship student at Appleby have t)een successful and rewarding for both parties. Living proof of the maxim that you cannot judge a product by its packaging, he rose to be a Colley House Prefect (sheriff of the Annex Deck), a Chapel Warden, A Captain in the Appleby Army, a cross-country star and once even an Optimates winner. That was in Grade 11, the same year he won the Progress Prize. A strong individualist, Craig has always been willing to submerge himself in group efforts as well, in the Operetta chorus over two years, on all the Senior School Rugby teams, as a scuba buff and as a sailor. He left early in his final term to join the crew of Pathfinder , the famous sail-powered training vessel. His heart is clearly in the sea. He will go to Queen ' s next year to study marine biology. Good luck, sailor!
