CHRIS LEWIS Chris Harry Lewis has been at Appleby for five years, and has, in that time, quietly contributed to the well-being of the school with his cheerfulness and willingness to help out whenever the need arose. Perhaps Harry will be best remembered for his exceptional abilities between the pipes on the 1st Hockey Team this year. Whether winning by five goals or losing by ten, Chris always gave his best until the end. Chris also played on the first Football Team, first Cricket Team and was Captain of the Second-Under 16 Cricket Team which did very well this year. One of the founders of the illustrious Appleby College Sailing Club, Chris also participated in the Thursday Sailing, Photography, and Typing Clubs. Chris plans to attend the University of Waterloo next year, and get his Bachelor of Science degree. Beyond that he plans to get his pilot ' s license and to eventually become a commercial airhne pilot. Chris ' presence here has made the school a happier and better place to live, and we shall all miss him next year. Good luck in the friendly skies, Chris. PETER LOGAN While at Appleby Peter made his mark in many areas, both academic and athletic. He played football and rugger, and during the winter he successfully kept any opponents out of his alley along the boards in League Hockey. There is no doubt that Pete was a serious student. In contrast to many of the other of his peers in Walker House, Pete could always be found at his desk, during study. This seriousness of his spilled over into other areas - specifically into his job as a prefect where he controlled the top deck of Walker House with the formidable help of Big Daddy Keates, Here and throughout the school, Peter gained a name as a fair and firm prefect. Next year he plans to settle down by travelling through Europe. Good luck, Pete. Come back and see us. BRUCE McDonald Bruce or Brew has only been with us for a year now, but despite the brevity of his stay, Bruce has left a strong impression on us all. When he wasn ' t scoring goals for the league blue team or smoking up the tennis courts. Brew could be found caressing the phone in the Colley House basement. An easygoing, pleasant guy, Bruce seemed to have a split personality. During the week our mild- mannered Bruce could be found hard at work within the bowels of Colley House, but on weekends Bruce was a walking party. If colours could be given out for partying Brew would certainly be at the top of the list. When asked just what makes up a partier, Bruce displays some of his essential equipment such as his customized van and its shapely accessories. Well, good luck next year Brew and remember; a snake in the hand is worth a bird in the bush .

MIKE KENT There was seldom a lime that, upon making their study rounds, the Powell ' s House masters wouldn ' t find Mike playing his guitar. While his love for his instrument took up a great deal of his time, Mike also put a lot of effort into many other activities, such as the Argus, and community service. Despite all of this, he was a good student, often a member of the Unsupervised and Optimates Clubs during his five years at the College. Mike was basically a quiet guy, and not a strong contributor to school teams, although he actively took part in tennis, squash and cross-country running. Mike has made a lot of friends at Appleby, among boys and masters alike but occasionally he was unaccounted for in the early morning! We wish him the best of luck ne.xt year at U. of T. where he plans to study medicine and we hope to see him at all the Old Boy ' s gatherings. BILL KING The Binger has been a good friend to many of us during his four years. Although studious by nature he still has many going interests. One of which you can see him trucking all over the campus! It ' s not easy to carry a tuba but he sure can play it. Bill has good potential in leadership as shown by his year as an E.R. instructor and as a prefect in Powell ' s House. Bill has certainly shown himself capable of using the rackets by playing on the squash teams for two years and as an active player on the tennis courts. Although not known for being a real rowdy. Bill has still had many good times with us. We all wish him well as he takes a year off before studying Computer Science at York. GRAHAM LEGGAT This is almost a farewell but you asked for it no apologies remember you came in with that defensive look of I dare you to teach me and that ' s how you remained tortured by mediocrity still that doesn ' t explain your love of Kerouac and Burroughs except that maybe they taught you something by osmosis almost ' cause boy did you celebrate them but they taught you maybe a thing or two that is the capacity for an uncompromising affection for some people you wouldn ' t have chosen but people who cracked shins and frustrations with you nevertheless because the school chose you all putting you stern Graham footballing, basketballing, ruggering acting and prefecting with them until you with new knowledge of yourself and of us the rest became more yes more yourself finding some dusty unknown alleys of what we could call your inner San Francisco you know Zen and pilgrimages and all peace et cetera learning that peace isn ' t an escape but the climax of a series of self-discoveries and of course it was more than this your time here indeed there was something else you said it yourself that made this time a memorable one though 1 paraphrase and that was the realization that emotional mediocrity is as bad as other types which made you as unrelenting in that department as elsewhere but happier I think too because here yes here in this school you found some emotional gold yes here man yes yes yes and so may I add did we in you thanks.

STU MACDONALD Lanny has spent the last two years at Appleby, but in that time he has managed to create an image that many of us will long remember. He played cricket this past term, and on the first football team in the fall. Although a native of a rather warm climate, Lanny ' s most memorable contribution, remarkably enough, was in the area of hockey, where he won the distinction of the most aggressive player of the Central African Hockey Association, and the accompanying trophy. Between sleeping, studying, and taking part in other assorted activities Appleby has to offer, Lanny was kept busy during his time with us. Let ' s hope to hear from Lanny in the future, perhaps leading a Trinidadian Hockey team. PAULMANIFOULD Five years and now Ma.x is playing vacations ... it ' s hard not to think of A-Bay, but is there life after Fort Lauderdale ... Golden Firebirds, but you can only drive down mainstreet so many times ... Ain ' t love a bitch? Marks, Marks, Marks ... Pick, Pick, Pick ... $, $, $. Friend and those good times, Oh, wouldn ' t a dow go good now? ... Black and Blue for me and you! ... Rolling Stones with black Corvettes ... Bayou Hio remember Martaan? ... Black rabbits ... D.LY. ... 2nd class citizen but aren ' t we all ... And so as we draw to an end of this merry exposition on past life, all that can be heard are the now familiar words ... With one way out, strange voices shout, don ' t let that Twigman out ... (But he did get out, didn ' t he?) GARETH MITCHELL Gareth, or as everyone knows him, Johnny Ratten , has been at Appleby for two years. His bright red hair matches his quick tongue and personality, as we all found out in our English classes. Well said Johnny. In both his years, Gareth has enjoyed the game of rugby, this year making the open side. As far as academics go, J.R. breezed through, with just a little help. Those last minute essays will always be remembered. However Johnny ' s life at Appleby went much further than just his physical contributions. Like most people, Gareth joined in many activities. He was in the operetta for two years and this year also found time for the school play. On Thursdays he could be seen either down hollering at the cadets or taking part in the active zoology club. Over the course of the year John got to know a lot of different aspects involved. Street Heart and Sage were just a few. So for the last time the boys at the college will be watchmg J.R. heading up past the chapel and across the north field in the direction of the dew. It will be one sight that we will truly miss. Good luck in future endeavours!
