Born in Ottawa in 1963, David lived here for four years before moving to the Philippines in 1967. He has attended Ashbury from grade 7 - each year, as he says, getting harder and harder . He has played a variety of sports including soccer, football, softball, tennis and squash. For hobbies he enjoys photography, the guitar, and writing essays on current issues. David is one of those people whose hobby may well become his profession because he intends to take Photographic Arts at Ryerson. He says that 1984 and Jonathan Livingstone Seagull have influenced his outlook the most - reinforcing his belief that one should always do what one thinks is right, even if it means bucking the system. DAVID LEMVIG-FOG Andy came to Ashbury from Washington, in 1980, but he has also lived in Germany. He has played Senior Hockey this favouritej, Junior Football and Rowing. His most exciting moment, he says, was almost winning the L.C.C. Hockey Tournament. He enjoys all kinds of music from classical to New Wave and feels that the balanced program and having to get along with other people are the school's strong points. Andy advises himself to drink deeply of the well of life, or not to drink at all tapologies to Alexander Popej, advice he will no doubt put into practice at Ottawa where he will study Political Sciences and Languages for a possible career in External Affairs. ROBBIE MANN Robble has roots in Ottawa where he has lived all his life, entering Ashbury in 1978. He has played tennis, curling and softball and helped with Information Ashbury and the Board of Stewards. He has earned various academic awards and has distinguished himself in yearly mathematics contests. In addition to these things he has managed the school tuck shop. Robbie relaxes by listening to music of the late 50's or early 60's and by reading Agatha Christie. He suggests that forcing students to produce work is a good thing - especially when the teachers genuinely care about people, the small classes enhance the attention given to quality. He adds that, in life, anything worth having must be worked for. He will attend either U. of T. or McGill for Engineering Science and Medecine.

He strongly approves of life on the boarding flats saying that the atmosphere is great with always something going on . He describes it as a small friendly community with its only bad points being chicken a la king and eggrolls in the dining room. Phil wants to take Science at Gttawa University in order to enter Medicine eventually. His guiding principle, he says, is summed up in the statement: La perfection est entre les deux extremes. PHIL JARRETT Ron has been in many countries. For example: India lwhere he was bornj, China, the U.S.S.R., Portugal, France and the U.S.A. His hobbies are highly portable, too, consisting of scuba, surfing, sailing and waterskiing. He is involved in the Senior School play production of A Proper Perspective this year. Ron tells us that his highlights are two-fold: forming the Ron and Mike Club and the planning of the graduating class Closing Ceremonies. He mentions Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy as two very interesting books. He is uncertain about next year and leaves us with this final thought: You need to suffer to experience. ' ' RON KAISER Joseph has been at Ashbury for two years during which time his modesty and affability have made him both liked and respected. He has kept active with tennis, swimming and weight training and also enjoys taking photographs and jogging. One highpoint of his year was being chosen as Ashbury's first Tennis Team Captain lat least within living memoryj and he loved competing against other schools. He concludes that teachers here know how to teach and says that Death ofa Salesman is striking proof that one must face reality. Indeed, he feels that there is an answer to every questiong as the Bible points out, Seek and ye shall find. He intends to keep seeking at Waterloo University where he will study Chartered Accounting.
