Sharif believes that to travel is to live and to leave Ashbury is to be free to live.

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.

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
