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.

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!

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.

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.

Fergus is another 'old-timer' having come to Ashbury in 1972. His large size has served him well on the football field where he also captained the team. His other sports include squash and rowing. Fergus' antidote to too much seriousness is an in- depth study of beer mugs and beer mats, a hobby he will alternate with Commerce at either Western or Queen's. He says that he has made good friends here and that the staff is of high quality. When asked what the most notable historical event of the last 18 years was he replied instantaneously: The creation of Brador! Take that chance. FERCUS MacLAREN 'Spike Mar' has been at Ashbury for longer than anybody can remember. Mar has been an avid member of the football teams, and has contributed much to their wins, One of his highlights of the year, he says, was being chosen a prefect, the duties of which he has carried out to the best of his abilities. Another highlight is the 'Smarties' race that he is actively participating in regarding Mr. Hinnell's Math Club. A hard worker, Mar gets all his work done, with the help of extensions and well planned sicknesses, for, he says, I am too busy over the weekend. Doing what? Anyway, we wish him the best of luck. IOHN MCCUNN 24 john is a retiring sort who, since 1978, has played basketball and soccer, participated in the Science Club and generally kept a low profile. His interests tend toward individual rather than team activities as can be seen from his line of hobbies - collecting albums, photography, skiing. He is heading towards journalism at Carleton. His native shrewdness can perhaps be ascertained from his criticism that some students consider themselves better than others when they really aren't. His quotation packs a real wallop. There are two good things in life, freedom of thought and freedom of action.
