Paul has been here since grade 5. Mixing academics and athletics well, he has played soccer and been on the ski team, while maintaining a sound average. In his spare time, he plays chess and sails. Although he points with pride at the great student-teacher relationships at Ashbury, he feels that the grade 13's should have more say in the running of the school. He has applied to Guelph for Environmental Studies and Geography. PAUL KADZIORA Sean has been actively involved in Ashbury life since 1978 - a short period of time but one in which he has made his presence felt in a variety of ways, his experiences include 'The Rideau Veterans' Home Committee, a stint as manager of the tuckshop and the representation of Kenya at The Student Commonwealth Conference. He is a prefect and a member of the First Soccer Team. Sandor is a likeable steady person with a C.uardsman's straight carriage and his own dry wit. He plans to take engineering or commerce. Where the will wants, the way opens.

He says his favourite hobby is bowling with Biewald because l always win. Water-skiing and snowmobiling also amuse him, and he praises Ashbury for getting me away from daytime TV, then adds, it has a good atmosphere. lf fame is only to come after death, I am in no hurry for it.

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

ln his two years at the school, Norman has accomplished muchg between his academic studies and the curling team, he finds time to participate actively in Project 4000,' The Duke of Edinburgh Awards Programme, The Veterans' Home Project, The Board of Stewards and the Board of Directors of the Tuckshop - in addition to his duties as a prefect. His hobbies include weightlifting, reading and listening to classical music. As one might expect, his achievement outside the school are numerous: he has won The Birks' Medal iStudent of the Year Awardj twice, The Strathcona Medal, a trip to England to represent Canada as a cadet and the prize for the best cadet corps in Quebec in 1978. Norman's main criticism of the school is unique: it is that the students of Ashbury are too individualistic. He is heading for Labour Management and Economics and leaves this idea with us: JEFFREY KU NORMAND LANCLOIS Man is not made to live in heaven - only to strive for it! leffrey is, as it were, fresh from Hong Kong but with his capacity for friendship along with his linguistic and soccer skills he has had no trouble settling in to the Ashbury scene. His favourite hobbies are bridge and studying calculus, He looks forward to Queens' and to Engineering in the fall. IOHN MACKLIN We have had only 'I year to get to know this Venturer T lPresidentJ and First Football Team member who also sails and skis on Big Rideau Lake. A further connection with water is seen by his ability as a swimmer and his career dream of test driving motorboatsg however, his future course of study is Mechanical Engineering. One wishes indeed that john had been at Ashbury longer. The highlights of his year here, he says, have been Doc's chemistry classes and waiting for the swimming bus which never arrives. He asks finally: Why not sell T-shirts and buttons to the grad class with an Ashbury Crest and 'Grads '8O' on them? Why not? As Alice Cooper says: We're all crazy!
