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.

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.

DAVE PICOTT David and his Opel came to Ashbury in '75 and after a year's absence returned to complete grade 13. After being asked what sports he plays, he listed a long series of sports, but at the end said: What the hell, I'll try anything. He was a member of the formal committee, the Bruce Hicks Fan Club, helped organize the Talent Show and started Ashbury's first Grand Prix grocery cart racing. lWe all have our problemsj, Next fall he plans to go to Queen's to study pre-med. 'Qs MICHAEL PUTTICK Mike's been at Ashbury since grade five and much to the distress of his classmates has steadfastly refused to leave. He is infamous for his bad puns which won't be missed when he leaves this year. The groans of his latest pun still echo off the walls in the bio. lab, In fitting with his character, Mike punted for the football team lno punt intendedj. Next fall he is going to 'U' of 'O' to study a pre-med science course. His music talents are lacking as can be heard when the band practices, more proof to this fact is that he is into hard rock. Mike's life can be summed up in three famous words by Steve Martin: ABBEY RAIKLES Abby has been at Ashbury since 1974. He plays football, softball and lacrosse, his athletic contributions to the school are rounded out by his quiet competence as a prefect and his unfailing good nature. Next fall he hopes to go to McGill to study either medicine or commerce. Truly, circumstances alter cases, but circumstances do not change the principles. Egerton Ryerson - The Story of My Life.
