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.

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.
