BRUCE PEART Moon the slope Peart arrived in Grade Seven young and eager to learn. Seen mostly in his red sweats and worky tx)ots, Moon is known mostly for his work tjehind the scenes and under the A.T.V. Bruce tried his hand in almost every major sport, including hockey, foot- ball, First Team Soccer, Open Rugby and bush patrol, but preferred the weight room most of all. While not in the weight room, he was noticed in class mostly for his ability to capture and put Into verse the many controversies which arose during the year. Moon ' s one liners are infinite and unintelligble. He was one of the select 63 prefects in Walker House and ruled the top deck mainly by proxy. When his talents went to Northward Bound, he in- structed in the same manner. We wish Bruce the best of luck in the future, and hope to see his name In the acknowledgements of many humorous movies. MILIND PENDHARKAR Mahone, aliEis the Pink Panther, has been at Appleby for three years. He has been on the First Basketball Team for three Years, two of which he was Captain. In the Spring, the Pan- ther has shown great agility on the Track Team, for two years. His acgdemic work was always of high quality and he earned his Gold Optimates this year. Apart from being the school ' s leading economist, he was also a member of the Debating Society. Mahone was in the School Choir during his second year, and played the General in the School per- formance of Romanoff and Juliet . He also played Chremes in Eros at Breakfast . Milind kept the band together for two years with his glockenspeil. Being the first memt)er of the Century Club, Milind found it hard to forgo a brew at any time. Milind was always a great person to be with and we will all miss him very much. A prefect in Powell ' s House this year, he hopes to return home to British Columbia to study Mathematics at the University of B.C. JEAN-PIERRE RACHMANINOFF Rock has t)een at Appleby for five years. During this time he has excelled in academics. As one of the foundation scholars, he has remained steadily on the Unsupervised Study List, and also achieved his Optimates. Due to his size, he was a valuable member of txjth the First Basketball and Track Teams. Rock was a regular member of the Wednesday Af- ternoon Club and we will miss him next year in the T.Q. . He will be attending the Univer- sity of Michigan, next year to study Natural Sciences. We wish him all the t est in his future years. 13

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!

STEPHEN ROLOFF Rollo has been at Appleby for five years. During this time, he has contributed regularly to the Argus as college poet and literary editor in Grade Twelve. Throughout his years, he has won prizes in English, History, Biology, Geography, and also the Campbell Gold Medal in Grade 12. When not catching forty winks, he has attended classes, to maintain an excellent standing and his Gold Optimates. A Prefect and keen squash player, he was well known in the School. A two year member of the Second Squash Team, he also played goalie for the First Soccer Team this year. In Grade 13, he organized lessons for 13 ' s, complete with dance instructor and girls. The Cancer Drive, of which he was Team Cap- tain, the Argus and the Riverside have all benefited from his support. We wish you well, Steve. { % JOHN ROSSEEL The lower field is yearly claimed by Spring ' s scorching waters. It was not yet summer and therefore the winter blahs still controlled the School, or most of the School. To the trained eye it was obvious that the properly packed alluvium under the flooded field resembled a blueberry pie in shape and texture. It seemed logical, to John, that a blueberry pie fight was in order. So the battle began. To have seen the smiling clump of dirt that returned to the House after the war was to have seen John Rosseel, Head Boy of the School. Quite simply, he loves to live. Perhaps this accounts for his outstanding contributions to every aspect of Appleby life. Whether in the airy heights of our gymnasium, or captaining the Open Rugby Team and First Football Teams, Seal carried with him an atmosphere of success. Not only the success of victory, for at times victory was not to be, but the success of satisfaction in participation. And it was not just the prestigious activities that received his attention. The frustrations of tieing Argus co-editor were his; even the Choir was graced with his aurora ' . When time pulls John away from Appleby, the finest day will, at first, not seem as fine or the most enjoyable game, as enjoyable. JOHN SLATTERY Slatts is one of the last of a dying breed which date back to a time B.N. (Before Ned). In his nine years, John has certainly had time to leave his mark and he has done this, especially on the playing field. He has played on the First Football Team, Senior Hockey Team. Open Rugby Team, and Senior Soccer Team, and has received his Colours several times, as well has having won many awards over the years for Track and Field. In the classroom, John has always maintained good marks, above the class average, and even received his Optimates (at least) once. This year. John was also a memtier of the Debating Society. A Prefect in Walker House, and a Northward Bound Instructor. We will remember him most for his down - to - earth, common sense idioms, and his incredible ability to not lose - he can ' t! In more than one parking lot did Slatts put his peers at ease with his presence. Good luck In the future I
