which may explain lohn was planning to go to Africa for a year. lohn's interest in English class l Rhubarb! J and Geography i No Bar! j hint at his future career in En- vironmental Studies or Foreign Affairs. john is a real Woodsy character who has added much to the life at the school and to the lives of the teachers, if the head hunters in Africa don't get him the would only be 6'4 thenj, the 'D' surely will!! MUKESH DAYARAM: While Mukesh insists that his philosophy is to live it up and enjoy life while l can, he works hard - not only collecting beer mugs but also at his school work which, he hopes, will lead him into computer programming. Sports are not slighted in his routine either with soccer, basketball, tennis and swimming energetically pursued by him. He loves reading, he says, and MUKESH DAYARAM listening to jazz and, he adds, the main thing about his stay at Ashbury has been to meet with people from all over. Mukesh is always friendly and cheerful in spite of what he considers rather too strict rules for boarders. Wherever he takes his beer mugs, we wish him luck. DAVID GOODWIN: In his first year at the school, David has participated in the rowing and cycling clubs and community service. A wopp'n 5 ft. zip, he has trouble convincing people he really is 18 and not just trying to sneak into restricted movies. His highlight of the year was the trip to see King Tut and his treasure. Next year he is going to Queen's or McGill to study medicine. Upon abilities. WILLIAM PONC leaving, David compliments the teachers on their teaching I came, lsaw, I left William is noted for his deceptively gentle tackling in the soccer league - oh so polite but very effective. He also cycles, plays chess and practices photography. His musical tastes, as befits a world traveller, are eclectic, ranging, he tells us, from classical to disco. A quiet chap, Bill has been seen observing the mores and habits of the North American teenager in The Bare Facts and reporting his findings to Amir who is, it is believed, even now trying to decide what to do with them fall those things previously mentioned! when Iran finally buys us out. Good luck, Bill, in engineering, at McMaster!

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. JOHN CLARK Ever since the first day of lohn's life at Ashbury, he has never looked back, although many of his friends have. A man of many talents, john has enjoyed rowing, squash, swimming and scuba diving as well as being a delegate at the Student Commonwealth Conference and the secretary general the year after. He still remembers the stimulating parties af- terwards f You don't buy beer, you just rent it. j. Besides his heavy academic workload, john has been an active member of Continuum, Project 4000 l Bring 'em all in. J, Outreach l Cute kid, that Rosa. J, the Board of Stewards f Make sure my name is in the minutes, Mr. Secretary. J, and the prefect body, he was Head of Connaught House. He notes that the highlights of his Ashbury career include working with characters like Messrs. Macoun, Niles and Varley - adventurous men all - i9

Nanno, before Robyn Williams immortalized his first name, was totally unknown except to Ashburians who ill had been at the school since 1972, i2J had also participated in soccer, skiing and baseball, C33 had sat on the Board of Stewards, and on the Board of Directors of the tuckshop, l4J had taken part in Continuum or the Blood Donor Clinic, and l5J had worked under his able editorship of this edition of the Ashburian. Still others might have rescued him from anonymity by remem- bering that he was a prefect, or that he was a sheep in the play Animal Farm or that he had studied biology with Mr. Varley ta highlight, Nanno writes, of his careerj. Indeed, his goal, after Ashbury, is either wild life management or research in biology. So even if no one did know him, we think that, with a record NANNO HABETS like this, he's certainly worth knowing, we recommend him to the whole world - animal and human, and perhaps even alien. lt is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and to remove all doubt. Abe Lincoln Roger has been a cheerful presence at Ashbury for two years both in class and while playing football or rowing. He writes that he approves of the school's balance of studying and recreation -the highlights of his stay here being Mr. Thomas's music class, the football trip to BCS. and hopefully, he says, the Formal. His special interests include reading lExodus and QB Vll left a deep impression on himl and photography. An easy-going chap, Roger nonetheless has a clear sense of purpose as he plans to attend McGill for business, then, to open his own store. ROGER GREENBERC. Ted is the only guy that has gone through Ashbury claiming to have done no sports. He could make a fortune selling his secret. He is, may it be said, chairman of the Formal Com- mittee of The Board of Stewards. The highlights of his two year stay include The Midnight Club, long weekends, The Saucy Noodle and Tough Guys. His hobbies include stage lighting and reading books. He would like, he says, to be a diplomat. Day after dayf The show must go onf And time slips away Before you could build any castles in spacef The chance has gone by. Alan Parsons TEDJACKSON
