He praises the atmosphere and the attentive teachers of the school, but he suggests that Woody and the prefects share the common room. He cites winning the Charles Rowley Booth Memorial Trophy Cfor academics and athleticsj in grade 12 and the undefeated football season as the highpoints of his life here. Ted was a prefect in Woollcombe House fboardersj where he performed his duties with steadiness and rare good humour. He informs us that he relaxes by water-skiing and cliff-jumping at his Laurentian reserve. Next port-of-call: Queen's for Economics.

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.

ALEXANDER HGUSE Mark came here in 1976 on a scholarship and has enjoyed the experience tremendously. Since the Junior School he has par- ticipated in drama, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Programme and the Board of Stewards. He also enjoys playing a guitar and playing with his computer 'Gertrude'. Arguing with Mr. Williamson, watching Mr. Niles get bitten by a rat in the Biology Lab and wearing a skirt on 'Tacky Tuesday' have all highlighted his career - along with winning the grade 12 Geography and Biology prizes. Skiing, rowing, tennis and soccer also get lots of attention from him. ln his intellectual firmament two bright stars are Dune and 1984. He intends to study Medecine in England, with the aim of being a neurologist. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man,' kites rise against- not with the wind. John Neal. MARK RUDDOCK John, at Ashbury since 1976, has been involved in drama, debating, public speaking, Chi Rho, Board of Stewards and Acid Rain campaigns. His academic career has been sprinkled with awards - a fact which partially explains his readiness to skip grade 113 this feat, along with winning the Woods Shield in grade 8 are two highpoints in his experience here. John's pre-occupation with water sports fwhite water slalom, rowing, canoeing, scuba and life- guardingl underlines both his intention to take up Environmental Law and his belief that nature should be protected at all costs. Papillon, he says, taught him never to give up - even if all the odds are against you. GREG DEERNSTED Greg attended this school from 1978 1983 admitting that when he first came lt was a very confusing world. He took part in football, league soccer, cross-country skiing and baseball and he adds to these activities photography, hiking and canoeing. One of his most thrilling moments occurred at the Bantam Football banquet when he won the Soggy Pants Award for his unique attire. Greg insists that few moments at Ashbury have surpassed that one. He is also understandably satisfied to have achieved the Duke of Edinburgh Award at the Silver level and is currently working on his Gold. While praising the small classes and the friendliness of communal life here, he confesses that he is glad to be leaving to study Science at Ottawa U. That which does not conquer is not strong enough.
