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.

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.

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.

. CAROL THEIL Carol had many adaptations to make in 'being the first female head of Woollcombe House, notably finding out about the third floor showers, and learning NEVER to knock on M. Landry's door too loudly ill Ashbury's token native from Sault Ste. Siberia is also the first girl to have boarded for three years - It all started at the MacFarlane house! - and she's still here! One of her most memorable achievements was to win both first speaker and first team at the McGill debates, but she says she's really not that aggressive! Her memories in- clude rhyming couplets CCarol and Darylj, snowball raids on the Jansen House, Heidi's surprise party, late night gossip sessions, CHOCOLATEL Australian chums, Oh yeah life goes on, and spending weekends at Kat's house, careening around in her little red rabbit. She sums up her attitude toward life with the only quote she and Thoreau agree upon: Itsfine I0 have your castles in the air - that is where they should be. Nowputfoundations under them. KATI WAMBERA FAERON TREHEAR NE Although new to Ashbury this year, Faeron quickly settled in and became part of school life. Meeting her sista and various others were highlights. Faeron fwhat happened to your car this week?J will be remembered for her athletic and social skills, and for her ability to irritate M.A.P. to no end. She would prefer to forget her exam schedule and chemistry tests in general. She wishes her friends, from far and wide, the best of luck at university next year. How could we describe Katz Cpronounced Kuttyj? Scholastically, she battled alone against Algebra E, amongst other painful l.B. subjects. For a changed scene, she became a regular at Kathy's Cafe and rapidly rose to head the Tea Dept. Kati was a member of the girl's rowing crew and the Cross-Country Ski team, but most importantly, she was a high priestess of the botts getta band Cultf' 'any of her best memories of the last two years will be backpacking through Europe with Kathrin and Cornelia, and two Adirondacks hiking trips. SEAN WILLIAMSON Sean 'S leaving Cornwall in grade 11 proved to be a traumatic experience that was soon overcome by his first room-raid. Boarding has been enjoyable at times, and a real drag at others. While at Ashbury Sean has noticed that there is a good blend of academics and athletics. Participation in senior hockey, senior football, tennis, softball, and curling are listed among his favoured sports. Sean leaves us with a line from Huey Lewis. l've been walking on a thin .'ine. . .
