IAN MORTON Ian came to Ashbury way back in '73, He enjoys squash, golf and swimming and does quite well in them. Ian has some talent for acting as can be seen from the school plays he has been in. He is also a part-time debater, a talent that does not surprise Mr. Niles who mentions Ian's innate talent for metaphysical distinctions in the Theory of Knowledge class. llM MOORE jim joined us in '74 and has, he says, wandered about the halls in a stupor ever since. He enjoys baseball, downhill skiing and has a vicious toe-kick in league soccer. Next year he will go to Queen's to take engineering. lim leaves Ashbury knowing- exactly what-nobody is sure of. Why he chose the following quotation by Michel Eyquem de Montaigne is beyond the scope of this publication, but here goes: The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them. Right on, jim! Frank was born in Wakefield, Quebec and entered grade 11 in '76. This year he was on the Board of Stewards and joined Mr. Hinnell's class for unique ldisadvantagedl mathematical geniuses. Anyway, he plays soccer, tennis, and, strange fellow, enjoys jogging. Next September he hopes to go to McGill University to take either engineering or basketweaving. The most important thing he learned at Ashbury, he says, is tolerance of other people and how to accept things as they are. Wanderers in that happy valley through two luminous windows saw spirits moving musically to a lute's well-tuned law,' Round about a throne, where sitting in state his glory well befitting, the ruler of the realm was seen.

fps IOHN LUND john has really come into his own this year.

This year he has served on the Outreach Committee. In his seven years at Ashbury john has enjoyed soccer, softball, broomball, curling and sailing, He has also invented his own simulation games. At university he hopes to take economics, journalism and drama. A varied career all round! . . . You may never understand How the stranger is inspired But he isn't always evil And he isn't always wrong.. Billyloel CHRIS MONTERO Chris came to Ashbury for the first time last year. He was born in Ecuador and after six years in Germany moved to Canada. As a result he speaks Spanish, German and English fluently. He enjoys soccer and was on the first team in the Fall. Where he will go on from here, he is not sure of yet, but whatever he does, we wish him the best. W an GORDON MCLEAN 'fzfbh xl 77 After being born in Montreal, Quebec, Gordon came to the school in '74. Being a rough and ready guy he enjoys rugby and football with skiing on the side. His favourite hobby is playing trouble, and not the game with a pop-a-matik. Gordon can't wait 'till the barbecue, so he can stuff himself, and Closing Day because this is where it ends . His philosophy of life can be briefly stated with the quotation by Ian Druny which simply states: Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll. And if you're taken in by all this macho talk, turn to last year's Ashburian and read some poetry he wrote. A complex and sensitive guy whom we'll miss!

in if Q Tir FRANK NEL Frank came to Ashbury last year after being brought up in South Africa. He enjoys cycling, water-skiing, tennis and water polo and made it on the first football team as a crazed Cape Buffalow, He says that he is looking forward to a most unusual closing ceremony , whatever that is supposed to mean. He is going to McGill next fall to take engineering. As a parting word he quotes joshua Nkomo: I always have lots of advice to give, it may not be worth anything, but its free. BERNIE O'MEARA Very little can be said about Bernie for Barney, if you preferi that is suitable for a brief resume of this type. Bernie came here in 1976 and has done his best to remain out of the public eye the staunchly refuses to sign autographsi, He did manage, however, to play on both the football and soccer teams in successive years, and he participates heavily in such ex- tracurricular activities as Math tutorials, Renowned for his staff impressions this repertoire includes Messers Stableford, Williamson, Heyd and Nilesl, he claims that his fondest memory of school life is the time Mr. Stableford smiled i10:23 am., Friday, February 16th, 19793. Bernie expects to attend the Pembroke Institute of Horticulture, or Ottawa U. for Phys. Ed. nextyear. 5-x HENRY NC Henry was born in the Orient and came to Ashbury in 1977 after taking the wrong bus in downtown Hong Kong. He liked it and decided to stay. He isn't much of an athlete but does enjoy floor hockey, Another reason that he left Hong Kong might be because he got his driver's license and would like tc explore this continent. After leaving grade 13 Henry plans ' J go to Carleton University to study mechanical engineering,
