Mike has spent 1 year at Ashbury, involving himself in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Program lSilver levell, the rowing team, the band, and sailing, in addition, he has drawn ex- cellent posters for a variety of special occasions such as the Ottawa Police Chorus and Ashbury Outreach. Clearly, he has served his school well in just one year! Mike tells us that he has found the school very dynamic with lots of enthusiasm for sports and other extracurricular ac- tivities. He balances this praise by saying that while there's lots of joking and horsing around, some people do not think before they speak, and he advises others to try not to cut other people down. We wish him every success in his goal of being an architect. MIKE FREKE Chris was goalie on both the Senior Soccer Team and the Senior Hockey Team. He also participates in the Community Service Program and the Chapel in school, and outside he enjoys travelling, swimming and sailing, bowling and skiing. He has won prizes in grade nine French and History. He is most impressed with Ashbury's international flavour - a facet of life here that he learned to appreciate, perhaps, by going with 'jeep' Green on Mediterranean trips in the March break. Chris intends to study languages in Mexico next year. RAY BERTRAND CHRIS WRIGHT ALEXANDE R HGUSE Great minds think alikeg fools seldom differ. Arriving at Ashbury in 1979, Ray, a Montreal native, im- mediately began to carve himself a notch in Ashbury's history. He is well-known for his good nature and contagious laugh - the combination of which is responsible for the disruption of numerous classes. On the football field he is known for his ability to catch anything thrown in his general direction. His love of athletics is further illustrated by his being a member of the Ottawa Freestyle Team in skiing and by his work as a trampoline coach. He will study environmental matters at Carleton University.

After living ten years in Holland, Andrew came to Canada and eventually to Ashbury. He intends to take Law at Queen's. Andrew is a practical sort who played a strenuous game of soccer in the soccer league and always gave his best. The highlight of his two years here is the Ladies' Guild Merit Prize which he won in grade twelve. He notes that he has enjoyed the good communication between teacher and student at Ashbury, the individual attention, the sports and the general atmosphere in the school. He advises others to leave your thumbprint on the world. How? By putting something into it, he says. We know he will! ANDREW SHERWOOD Dave came to the school in 1979 with a quiet and steady manner that has to be rated a distinct asset in all his pursuits which have included swimming, tennis, cycling, canoe- tripping and photography. In addition, he is a member of the Parish Council at the church of St. john the Evangelist. A busy life! The grade 11 trip to Toronto as part of Mr. MacFarlane's geography class was a highlight, he says, but does not elaborate. Dave notes that Papillon and The Culag Ar- chipelago defined the word 'freedom' for him far better than SEAN MURRAY any dictionary ever could. I ve realized, he says, how lucky I am to live in a free country with a fair justice system. As a result of his many years at Ashbury f73-'82J, Sean Patrick Clam Murray knows everything there is to know about school, for this reason he spends a lot of time at home playing with his synthesizer or his drums. Actually, he is diligent as a form prefect and as a prefect in Alexander. Sean has also contributed much to football and hockey, here, citing the out- of-town trips as a regular highlight of his stay at Ashbury. Engineering design claims his attention in the future - probably at Queen's. He concludes that Life is only what you make of it.
