plays the classical guitar for which he has won a prize in competition. Next year he will go to Queen's University to take chemical engineering. Bob, another long-standing member of the school, is looking forward to his graduation. Even though he has been an in- tegral part of the football teams and other aspects of the school, Bob feels that it is time to move onward and upward greater things in life. His quiet, good grace have carried him through another stage of his life and will probably do so for a very long time to come. BOB BIEWALD systemg his inventory includes soccer, cross-country skiing, running, swimming and sailing, as well as photography, chess, stamp collecting and darts. His list of highlights begins with his being chosen as a prefect, and mentions his being chosen to represent Ashbury on the Ski Team as well as his winning of the 11 12 Physics Prize. To conclude: Mike has also sat on the Board of Directors of the tuckshop. He will continue his education at either Guelph fin biologyl Or at Crenolbe fin Frenchi. Mike's quotation perhaps belies the fact that Mike has been deeply influenced by Prof. Edward de Bono's The Uses of Lateral Thinking lno, it's not about option plays in footballiz Winning isn't the most important thingg it's the only thing. Vince Lombardi NELSON BOZ After 7 years at the school Mike insists that he has no regret believing that Ashbury is an ok alternative to the public 18 For the last three years, Nelson has been spending French class attempting to find out which end of the pencil one writes with. An accomplished linguist lyou can't get a word out of him to disprove itl, he hopes that his skills can get him a job as Prime Minister, or failing that, a plumber. In the fall and winter Nelson occupies himself with soccer and cross-country skiing with chess. He says that he once won a poetry book by T.S. Eliot. A mild-mannered fellow, Nelson writes short stories of spare and compelling tautness. After graduating, Nelson hopes to go to Carleton to study Arts. Thank Cod that there is someone inside of us that knows exactly who we are. Herman Hesse

Arash, a.k.a. Hashish or Zeke has been at Ashbury for 3 years during which time his sense of humour and his steadiness have won him many friends. He will forgive reference to the saying which brought him immortality in one of Mr. Nile's classes in his first year, Mr. Niles had, during a lecture of which Arash must have understood only a little, mentioned the Prophet Mohammed - whereupon Zeke triumphantly interrupted with: Oh, yes, Sir - l know him. He was a camel jockey! End of lecture. Arash played First Soccer with great dedication. He leaves us to take Engineering at Toron.to. DAVID BEEDAL Dave is the easy-going type who gets along with everybody. He enjoys softball, soccer, track and hockey, but eats, sleeps and breathes cross-country skiing. He has been Captain of Skiing for the last two years and excells at the sport, as his ARASH AZADEH many trophies and medals can prove. Academically Dave is also very sound, hoping to be an Ontario scholar at the end of the year. Because of all these characteristics, he was chosen a monitor in the lunior School and a prefect in the Senior. His highlights include loosing a tooth in grade 8, getting a Saturday in grade 6 and forgetting his ski boots at an im- portant ski meet. The books that had the greatest influence on him include the latin book Mr. Sherwood hit him with. Dave's criticism of the school include the fact that the school is very set in its way. His suggestion is that the graduates should plant seedlings in the football field. They could watch them grow over the years. The results are twofold, not only would the DAVID BEEDELL , graduates be contributing to the betterment of the school, but they would also increase the educational level by curtailing the school's football program. Anyway, here's to you Dave! Man could have been what he made himself, but usually was what he didn 't. Earth Report. This is Professor Bien's first year and his ability to do calculus is already a legend. On the soccer field he changes nicknames becoming 'The Hong-Kong Horror' or 'Kamikazif He also CHARLES BIEN I7

Chie Ke Chang, known also as C.K.C.H. is in his second year at the school and he has enjoyed himself very much. He has participated in soccer, basketball and tennis, as well as Driver's Education. His only hobby is listening to music - Classic Rock, Rock Opera or New Wave. C.K.C.H. is somewhat of a world traveller, having lived in Hong Kong and The Netherlands, and as a result speaks Chinese, Dutch and English. Next year he is going to the University of Michigan or McMaster to take Engineering. ERIK CAREY CK. CHANC This is Comer's first year here the is a seven year veteran of Sedberghj and he feels that it has been a good one. An avid member in soccer, hockey and the math club, Comer par- ticipates to the fullest in everything he does. His hobbies are limited, but says he enjoys a good book such as 'Watership Down' or 'The Great Gatsby' and listening to classical music or rock. What is lacking here, he suggests, is a lack of cultural activities such as going to plays at the NAC regularly. Next year Gomer is planning to attend RMC or Queen's to take Engineering and Economics in preparation for a career as an Economist. Whatever you're doing, its better late than never.
