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!

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 .

MARK MULL Mark has spent but two short, yet eventful years here with us at the school. Right from the start it has always been Burny ' s ambition to co-educationalize Appleby. Early in his first year here he set about trying to convince St. Mildred ' s to amalgamate with Appleby. However, after careful con- sideration and much field research , Mark has come to the conclusion that perhaps Albert College would be a more beneficial associate. Aside from this field of study Burny has also made many contributions in other areas. He played First Football for two years, and earned a position on the Rugger Record Board this year. He also gave up a promising career in hockey this year, and can still often be found trying to perfect his shot. Mark has always done well scholastically, receiving Op- timates in his first year here, and this year he has achieved his Gold Optimates. It should be noted that Burny spent his last year here as a member of the infamous Walker House main deck. Those of us who have known, and hved with him, will always remember his easy nature and amusing antics with much affection. Best of Business in the future, Burny. ANDREW NEWELL Contrary to popular opinion, Andrew does not spend his weekends solving math problems, (not all of them anyway!) Nevertheless, it is his mathematical ability that sets him apart. One of his greatest joys is writing math contests, some of which he has placed very high in. Visitors to his room are sometimes intimidated by the array of books on his favorite subject. Andrew has never limited himself to one thing, however. Although his best contributions were academic, he has tried almost everything the school has to offer, including a bewildering number of sports and such out-of-the-way offerings as yoga. He was even the school billiards champ! His greatest enthusiasm went to dramatics and debating. In his last year, he played the dashing Mr. Darcy in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, as well as helping backstage in the operetta, and he was always quite willing and ready to go to debating tournaments. It ' s always difficuh to decide what one has given to, and taken from, the school. What Andrew has done, he has done in a quiet way. There may have been a few regrets, (like the absence of good chess opponents!), but we are sure he will remember Appleby with pleasure. PETER OCHITWA Peter, Disco , Chit , Fox , Starth , Call him what you will, but under any name you choose, he ' s still the same character. When he first came to Appleby five years ago, we really didn ' t know what to make of him. What are you supposed to do with a guy who salutes the TV set every time Star Trek comes on. After only a few short months we had all branded him as a likely candidate for the nut house. But it looks as if he will get the last laugh all this past year as he has been able to establish Starth Vader Productions Ltd, a company dealing with Star Wars Promotions. When not out trying to make millions. Chit has shown us through his academic abilities that he isn ' t always out in space. Although I am sure he would rather bet on sports than actually take part, he has shown great enthusiasm. The years he has spent at Appleby have not only been rewarding for him but also for all those who have known him. After a year off to pursue business interests he hopes to take up hotel management. We wish you all the best, Chit. May The Force Be With You.
