LEE GRAINGER After serving seven years at Ashbury Pen, Lee will, with a little luck, be let out this year for good behaviour. Lee's incarceration has been marked by a number of unforgettable milestones - though perhaps Lee himself would prefer to forget them. Perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon has been the fact that no one has seen his hair out of place - ever. The fondest memory for Lee will, however, be that of his role as Headboy. Lee hopes to study Engineering below the 49th parallel. JASON HALL Jason was born on the Isle Wight and has lived in Kenya and Jamaica, as well as Canada. Jason enjoys visting countries in Europe, as much as he has relished highly 'portable' activities such as sailing and water-skiing las well as Homer and raftingj.

At Ashbury, Jason has made a notable contribution to football and rugby and was awarded the Charles Rowley Booth Trophy lGrade 121 for athletics and academics and the Biewald Scholarship Award. I-le hopes to attend Concordia in the fall. he thanks Mr. Niles for his valuable guidance. SEAN HAFFEY I-laving lived in Ceylon, Malaysia, Austria, England and Australia Sean has had a good idea of what life is. So when he came to Ashbury in grade 10 it seemed to him just another place to live. Sean soon discovered just how wrong he was The change from living at home to living in close quarters with a bunch of stranger including Stan-the-Man and Bob Posman, surprised Sean to no end Even after four years there are many surprises. Some of the highlights of Sean s stay at Ashbury include the culturally uplifting introduction to French Canadian culture, exemplified by I-lull. Sean may have served on the Basketball Rugby and Curling teams but his main sport is reading. Sean plans to study Business at either a Canadian or an American university. Good luck Sean' ED HGFFENBERG Ea' cam to Ashbury six years ago and was pleasantly surprised by among other things, the competitive atmosphere of the school In reflection Ed found Ashbury's small Math class, and Math teachers, to be especially conductive to learning. Ed might be remembered for his immortal utterances like Correct me if l'm wrong sir, but . . . In spite of this, Ed maintains that his most valuable contributions to Ashbury life were his attempts to renovate the chemistry lab using PYRO-technics, and for his creation of the first Manual of How to Blow Up-the-Chemistry-Lab . He leaves with plans to study medicine at Queen s and

IDA DI MENZA During the past three years Ida has charmed the entire Ashbury population. She has also been the head of the lobby for narrow skirts vs. Rockcliffe snowbanks. One of the greatest tragedies of her grade 12 year was an unfortunate decision to cut her glistening curls. Later, during a passing attack of insanity, lda forfeited her teenage career in order to complete an I.B. Diploma, as a result she was forced to endure the trials and tribulations of I.B. Functions. In desparate at- tempts to escape this frightening destiny, Ida made many plans to run away to Paris. She finally succeeded and discovered pain au chocolate during the summer of '85. GERARD DING Gerard came to Ashbury three years ago from Malaysia. He has travelled throughout the Far East and lists his hobbies as remote-controlled planes and cars. He plays badminton, tennis and squash, does some skiing, and is a com- petitive golfer. Gerard is going to Queen's University where we are sure his competence and wry sense of humour will serve him well. DEAN EYRE Born London, England, Dean came to Ottawa in the summer of 77. Having survived nine years at Ashbury, Dean is looking forward to a change, as he plans to attend the University of Toronto for science. A raquet sport enthusiast, Dean enjoys playing tennis most of all, and he has been on the Tennis Team for the past two seasons. He enjoys listening to New Wave music tespecially YELLOJ and is always looking for obscure groups to listen to. He notes that during his long stay at the school, Ashbury seems to have lost some of its old character, as it is continually expanding with more students and buildings. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. LANCE FIELDING We are happy to see Lance bring his international experience to Ashbury even if only for one year, we hope he found a welcome here.

SHARIF KHAN SharU' came to Ashbury way back in ,78. In general his history here has been a pleasant one, except for the constant threat of detentions hanging over his head for being late. He has particularly enjoyed sports and actively participated in soccer, squash, and hockey, a highlight being when he co-captained the Junior Soccer team in grade eleven and was awarded the M.V.P. Sharif believes that to travel is to live and to leave Ashbury is to be free to live.
