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.

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.

world as: BERNIE SEYFERTH Bernie moose Seyferth lumbered into Ashbury in '77 when he entered grade 12. Ever since the first day students and teachers alike have looked up to him, except when he is sitting down. Naturally Bernie played first football and occasionally the field. He also enjoys volleyball, tennis and basketball. Bernie was made a prefect since they needed a 'hit man' - want your frace broken? But under all that brawn is a nice guy. He was on the Board of Stewards and generally helped in organizing activities like the ice sculpturing - 'artistic watchamacallit'. Next fall Bernie is off to the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to study forestry, no doubt to become another Paul Bunyan. but then, who is? 26 PETER ROBERTSON Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

He enjoys football, and, no doubt due to his size, he is quite good at it. He also plays baseball, and is an avid chess fan. When he graduates, Bob is going to Ottawa U to study science.
