Tim has done well since he came to Ashbury in 1973: he is an habitual winner of public speaking awards and various academic awards and has also been a prefect, a member of the Board of Stewards, a tuck shop manager and a representative at the Student Commonwealth Conference. Indeed, for one day, he was the stand-in for Governor General Schreyer during an Optimists Club Youth Appreciation week. He says that in his spare time he sees his girl friend Barbara, reads Anthony Burgess and plays both bass and acoustic guitar. He says he has survived the rigours of Mr. Niles' philosophy class and that is the highlight of his last year. The future? Waterloo and nuclear engineering. TIM WEBB Baxter is a relative newcomer to the school, having arrived in 1978, however his eloquent soliloquies in english and in philosophy classes will be missed. Baxter is naturally buoyant and optimistic and is quick to praise the schooI's physical setting and spirit. He even goes so far as to say that the highlight of his career is every day. Baxter was the driving force behind last year's community oriented blood donor clinic in which the Red Cross came to Ashbury and converted Rhodes Hall into a mini-hospital. He intends to take BAXTER WILLIAMS g Matt came to Ashbury in 1979 from Brussels, Belgium. His sense of purpose can be seen in his involvement in The Duke of Edinburgh Awards Programme - on a Gold level- and in his first place finish in the Science Fair Competition for his demonstration of laser holography. He is active on the ski team, in rowing, and he also does some track. His ex- tracurricular interests include the violin, canoeing and backpacking. Last year he played for the Arts Centre Or- chestra. Matt says he would like to be a doctor and he advises us that if at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Kevin's remarkable and sometimes mordaunt sense of humour will be missed at the school. During his six year stay here he feels he has accomplished something but he doesn't remember what, exactly, perhaps we can mention, on his behalf, the soccer and hockey teams he played for. He mentions that the sitar music to which he relaxes is really just an attention getter, unlike his favourite books Mein Kampf and The Prince. His real aim is to go to the l.H.L.B.M. - or, the Institute of Higher Learning for the Betterment of Mankind, if he can't find it Che thinks it's in Moscowj, then U.B.C. or Waterloo will do. KEVIN SMITH Andy comes from Bristol, England. He has attended Ashbury since 1975. He lists his hobbies as bass guitar, model radio ' controlled aircraft and skiing, His favourite music is either blues or rock 'n roll, ln sports, Andy has played Senior Soccer, softball and swimming. He comments that the school needs girls - a fact that he may well have discovered in biology class which he lists as the most interesting of all his classes. Alongside Death Of A Salesman, he places Calculus 73 as having had the most impact on him. Andy is a droll character whose sense of humour and his motto: Live and let live should stand him in good stead at Queen's or U of T. '93 yr--'Tv' IAN THGMSON ANDREW SOMERS In his two years at Ashbury, Ian has participated in all aspects of Ashbury life, most notably, he says, socially and athletically. He notes the First Football's victory over Bishop's as one of his highlights. lan comes from Calgary and will return there to study business. We know that his cheerfulness and his distinctive laugh will serve him well in the future. These are the seasons of emotion, And like the winds they rise and fall, This is the wonder of devotion, I see the torch we all muSt hold. .. Led Zeppelin LED ZEPPELIN 24
