Mike was born in Thunder Bay and came to Ashbury in 1979. He has played football, basketball and hockey with equal zest and thinks the school is great - except for the pseudo-intellectuals and computer hacks . He lists not becoming a prefect as a highpoint of the year and goes on to say that newspaper clippings, exterior decoration and fighting with my sister are his hobbies. As you can see, Mike is extremely busyg perhaps that is why he likes the 'laid-back' hero of Camus' The Outsider. Mike's humour and determination can be seen in his quotation from Kafka's The Trial: Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live. MIKE BRESA L IER Anna came to Ashbury in 1982 from Winnipeg. She has made good use of the scholarship which she won, both in the classroom and outg as well as doing well in her studies, she has been the a delegate to the Student Commonwealth Conference and a member of the Board of Stewards. Anna has participated in a variety of sports her most recent being that of weight sauna etc . . . to compensate she suggests, for her trips to Harvey's. She lists Catcher in the Rye fthe subject of her I.B. Extended Essayb and Alice in Won- derland as two books special to her. Next year: Ottawa U. for Sciences. A NNA C H I L DE ALEXANDER Brian was born in Ottawa but this is his first year at the schoolg he points that life goes by so fast that to make a judgment about the year would be sheer folly . True enough, but here are some of the facts: he played on both the Senior soccer and Senior basketball teams, he is fond of music, reading and travelling and he listens to a variety of music including reggae, New Wave and soul. He has particularly enjoyed the Ashbury Coffee-Houses and insists that both athletics and academics are reasons for Ashbury's strength. Brian has certainly contributed his share! Next year: Business at Western. Life moves so BRIA N CHI.N'FE.N' fast. lSM'sj Mike claims to be the world's first test tube baby in 1965. He has been at Ashbury ever since making him the oldest sweat of all, without a doubt. He has participated in student elections, R.A.S.R.A., the Ashburian, and football. Mike also likes to ski, photograph, sail and sell stereo equipment. The main highlight of his career was to see himself in the graduate section of last year's Ashburian the had been here so long we decided to give him a broad hintl. He concedes that the staff here are a strong point and says that he admires the Ottawa- Hull phonebook immensely. Next year: Tel-Aviv University tlsraelj. M I KE C OH EN

Christoph was born in Cologne but has lived in many different cities. At Ashbury since 1981, he has taken part in tennis, hockey and Com- munity Service and includes ping-pong, classical literature, new wave and reggae music among his interests. lt should be said that he has also proven himself as a soccer player. Christoph notes that he enjoys Ashbury's small classes and involved, helpful teachers but that the games programme, especially in grade 13, is too demanding. He is thinking of attending university in Europe for Political Science, Economics and Law. The unexatninea' life is not worth living. CHRIS DL'ENH',-ILD Lorenz, who came to Ashbury from Stuttgart in 1981 involved himself in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Programme and in Community Service - as well as in soccer, cross-country skiing and jogging. Back- packing and photography are hobbies in which he says he still has alot of unfinished business. He admires Nina Hagen, David Bowie and Frank Zappa and his highpoints are Mr Glover's German class along with the grade eleven French Trip to Quebec City. Lorenz is happy to report that foreign students who don't speak English are taken care of very well here. He is looking forward to U. of T or Carleton. Don't talk about it - do it. ' L ORENZ EPPINGER Libo was born in the Hague but now lives in Canada where he has attended Ashbury for 9 years. He is a soccer fanatic and a prefect in Alexander House. Among his various athletic ac- tivities he lists motorcycling as one of his favourites. As one might guess, he likes travelling for its own sake, as well he plays his guitar and listens to rock or new wave music. He praises the school's atmosphere and says he will remember The Volkswagon Youth Exchange and the French Field Trip to Quebec fondly, for some years. LUe without a goodfriend is death without a witness. LIBO HA BETS Chris, at Ashbury since 1979, has been captain of the school Chess Team and chess champion of the school twice C82, '83J. He has also been an active member of the band and cites the cutting of an album as a highlight, others include travelling to Europe with 'Jeep' Green Ctwicel and, of course, winning the Ontario Chess Championship tHigh Schooll as part of the Ashbury team in 1982. He has enjoyed various sports from Junior Football to softball, concluding that Ashbury provides a good atmosphere for learning, too. Next year: Dalhousie or Waterloo for Char- tered Accounting. This above all: to thine own seh' be true. CHRIS HEA RD
