DAVIDSON MYERS Davidson came to Ashbury in grade nine and is happy, after his five-year stint, to be leaving Ashbury. Yet he admits that the discipline and many years of hard work have paid off in many ways. Davidson has always had a great interest in sports such as football. He was captain of the Junior Team. Other sporting in- terests include rugby, tennis, basketball, and soccer. Davidson would like to offer his thanks to all the teachers and friends who have helped him through bad times and through all the good times. ROBERT POSMAN Bob has been a six-year veteran of boarding life at Ashbury and prides himself on having survived the Stan the Man and Hank eras. He has participated enthusiastically in the football and curling teams. Among highlights here Bob includes the school trips to Europe. In grades eleven and twelve he assisted Mr. Lemele in organizing two ski trips to the Alps. Of course one of Bob's favourite pastimes was going to the infirmary, pretending to be ill in order to avoid tests. Next year Dirty Bobby will study Economics and Criminal Law at Concordia. MICHAEL PRETTY Mike arrived at Ashbury not knowing the meaning of the phrase, extra curricular activities . . . and has left with his back bent over. During his stay, he achieved his silver award in the Duke of Edinburgh Programme, served as a delegate and later became a member of the Planning Committee for the Student Commonwealth Conference. He was an organizer for Daffodil Day and for the Car Raffle in the Junior School. He also served on the Board of Stewards as editor of Information Ashbury. His sports commitments include football and cross-country skiing. KENNY PUN Kenny came to Ashbury three years ago and was amazed at how boring Canada is. Compared to Hong Kong, even Toronto is rather dull. However, after spending a few years in Ottawa, Kenny grew to like this place very much, except the disgusting snow Camen, Kennyj. As a devoted music fan, his favourites include Depeche Mode, Everything But the Girl, and Madonna. He plans to become an amateur disc-jockey, but would like to study computer science at Waterloo University.

DARYL RICHARDS After five years Dar,vl's time at Ashbury is over. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as having resided in Miami, Florida, and New York, he has found his time at Ashbury brought him many friends and exposed him to an international at- mosphere. He has played football for both the junior and senior teams. One highlight occured when our junior team went undefeated, another, when he intercepted three passes on the senior team. His outside interests include music of different sorts, alpine skiing, and reading. ADRIAN SIMPSON After five years at Ashbury, Adrian has collected many fond memories.

Ilfaur cultiver notrejardin. . . Voltaire. ANDREW SOMMERS Andrew Big Bear came to Ashbury in the fall of 1978, and, except for a brief vacation at Lawrence Park Collegiate in Toronto, has rumbed around these hallowed halls ever since. Bear has played football and hockey on all levels while at the school, adding that skiing and partying create a well-balanced man - a man fit to lead a political party - which he did, in Ashbury's Mock Elections a year ago, when he headed the Liberal team. Among many good memories, Andy mentioned two: Mr. Thomas' help in grade 12 English and his longstanding friendship with Willie Teron. WILLIE TERON Willie has been at Ashbury eight years and during this time has been quite a character. From his rebelious and carefree youth. Willie ripened lwe quote, of course! into a calmer person over the years, although still full of pep. He has participated in most sports here, most recently as a co-captain of the Senior Football team. I-Ie has also left his mark in the arrangement of various social events. Willie has ended his long stay here in fine style, as head prefect of Connaught House.
