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!

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.

JOHN MCBRIDE J-D has been here for five years in all, from Grades 6 - 8, and after a two year holiday at Ridley, returned to finish Grades 11, 12 and 13. Throughout these years he displayed the quickest wit and the most voluble excuses, especially when trying to explain his absence at breal fast to Mr. Smith! This year, he tried his hand at interior decorating, sometimes to Mr. Washington ' s displeasure. In his senior year, John has participated in many activities such as Open Rugby, Swimming and Squash, some Gymnastics and Weight Room, and some extra-extra-curricular activities, too numerous to mention. If to be found on campus at all, he would most likely be found at Dave Stuart ' s. Being the second remaining member of the T.T., he is remembered mostly for his ability to sway the opinion of many a cour- troom judge, officer of the law, and almost anyone for that matter. We wish you all the best in the future, and in parting leave you with this bit of advice - When you go out to the parking lot just get in your carl ROBERT MASLON ' Groundhog ' has been with us for eight years, during which time he has more than lear- ned the ropes here. After three years in Junior House, he moved to the Walker House Dormitory and then to Colley House. There he has remained, and became a Prefect of the Four Bedder Deck . Although he has not specialized in any one particular sport, Rob has played on a great variety of teams over the years, and has always pulled more than his own weight. The most recent of these teams have been the Senior Squash Team, First Football Team, First Scoccer Team, and the First Rugby Team, where he achieved his Colours. TheNorthward Bound programme has also benefited from his experience and leadrship; he was Head Instructor this year. More than for his athletic accomplishments or his scholastic abilities, we will remember him for his knack of framing people. Because of his boyish Ilk of innocence, our oldest member of the class managed to have numerous peopl,e through the years take the brunt of his many frame-jobs ' . It was this weasilish quality of Robs which brought to life many a dull situatuion and earned him his nichname the groundhog ' . We all wish you the best of luck, Rob. JOHNATHAN MORGAN The most noticeable member of our class, with his beach blonde hair and flashing white suits, Johnathan Morgan is indeed a fine representative of the land he loves so much: that is, Barbados. Orge , as he was tabbed here, was one of the most affable fellows you could ever meet, with his ear to ear grin and his raucous laughter. His second greatest love (when he wasn ' t charming the girls, or patronizing his country ' s export-rum) was music. Orge loved his music, and being an Islander, he had that natural flair for dancing to anything, and indeed he did. Unfortunately for us, John has tjeen with us for only the l£tst two years, but he has contributed more than his share to the School. In his first year, he was a member of the First Swimming Team and the First Cricket XI, as well as being one of our better cross-country runners. This year. Johnathan was the captain of our First Soccer Team in the autumn. During the winter term, he was Instrumental in our winning of the IS. A. A. Swimming Championship. In the Spring, he played on the First Rugby Team. A very versatile athlete, Johnathan received his Colours twice In swimming and once in soccer. A diligent and hardworking student In the classroom, he has met all challenge vigorously. Good luck John!
