I BILL SPENCER: ' ' Woman was God ' s second mistake. ' ' Bill has participated in some of our past spring Concerts, lending his undeniable talents in music. To him, a stay of five years at Hillcrest is enough for anyone so next year will find him at Carleton. JAMES MICHAEL STALLABRASS: ' ' I prefer a comfortable vice to a virtue that bores. ' ' Mike invaded Hillcrest after a sojourn at Gloucester High for the past three years (he was here in grade nine). During those years he has develope d an interest in curling, basketball, soccer and track and field. A really nice guy, Mike has made his presence felt throughout the student body. Carleton Univer- sity is this guy ' s next stop and we wish him the best of luck. LAUR1 SQUIRE: ' ' I ' m cool, I ' m suave, I ' m the greatest. ' ' So says our modest Lauri. Nonetheless we grudgingly admit that she does have some- thing of which to be proud. Her ability on the piano and guitar participation in the Band and Choir, Concert, Yearbook and that rising folk-singing group The Doorstep Singers ' ' (whew!) are nothing to be sneezed at. Trent University will claim all these talents with Lauri next year. ALAN WAYNE STARCHER: ' ' Women and elephants never for- get an injury. ' ' This boy is all for sports, exemplified by his various activities in this field. He is a member of our bowling team, He golfs, skiis and partici- pates in the popular sport of karate. Music is one of his less dangerous interests. Next year s plans are for a science course at Carleton. LOUISE SWAN: ' ' Exclusiveness is a character- istic of recent riches, high society and the SKUNK! ' ' A flash of red hair and a vibrant smile indicates that Louise is present. This girl loves Drama and participates in a flock of activities, including a folk group known as the ' ' Villagers . Next year Louise intends to con- tinue her studies at Ottawa U. DAVE STROUD: All things come to him who waits- even grade thirteen. Dave shares the interests of most boys, namely that of cars and motorcycles. After a two year reprieve in Newfoundland he returned to Hillcrest to complete his high school education. E.O.I.T. will have Dave as a new addition next year. DOUGLAS ALAN STREET: Hell is a state of mind. Doug can be justifiabley branded as a B.M.O.C. (big-man-on-campus) . This is readily illustrated by his position as International Trustee for the Key Club, which does reap a certain amount of admiration from others. Closer to home, Doug lends his talents to our Basketball and soccer teams, B.A. A. Executive and the Board of Control. Carleton is his next stop. - only a small event before becoming Prime Min- ister of the World. BONNIE LANA SYE: It is as easy to give advice to yourself as to others, and as useless. Bonnie left us this year for parts unknown but dur- ing her stay she left an indel- lible impression particularly in the field of sports. Cheer- leading (in and out of school), basketball and volleyball were a few of her many activities. We wish her luck in the future wherever she is. ■Pit • MERVIN SYKES: Merv is the guy in the back of the room. Beneath that cool and calm exterior lies, we bet, a mind that is systematically plotting the over- throw of the school. Good luck in your future endeavours MervJ BARRY ALBERT SYRETT: ' ' It takes a clever man to turn cynic, and a wise man to be clever enough not to. Barry ' s indust- rious life puts us all to shamer He is a member of the Over 80 club, he is in the band and choir he skiis and plays tennis. Carle- ton ' s Engineering course will be enriched by Barry ' s arrival after graduation.

SANDRA HELENA SHEDDEN Why do women reformers al- most always worry about men? ' ' Sandi ' s main ambition is extend the day to 28 hours, and generally reform the world. Her more realistic side is displayed in her participation in school sports the band and choir. Sandi considers life to be a mere proposition and relishes the thought of attending Carleton next year to prove her life successful . DAVID JOHN SHORT ' The truly free man is one who turns down an invitation without giving an excuse. ' ' Dave is one of Hillcrest ' s best liked graduates. One of his favorite pastimes is messing up the desk in the yearbook office with a devilish look on his face. His activities include the BAA, wrestling and football. Carleton will be Dave ' s stomping grounds next year, then he plans on going to U. of T. for social work. DANIEL JOHN SHOWALTER ' ' I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish; the wicked sometimes rest. ' ' Dan is one of the very few people at Hillcrest who has obtained the distinction of being a very competent actor. Apart from this he finds time to play in the band and participates in all activities in the choir. (You should see him dash from the band pit to the choir tiers on stage. ) His only sport activities are push-ball. He will attend Carleton for Science next year. STEVE SKINNER ' ' Lead us not into tempt- ation, just tell us where it is and we ' 11 find it ourselves. ' ' Steve is very active in the band and choir. He spends almost all of his time in the band room practicing. When he ' s not in the band room he can usually be found in the gym. He has dabbled in many sports during his stay at Hill- crest. We predict great things ahead for him. BRYAN W. SKUCE ' ' When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong. ' ' Bryan claims his club act- ivities consist of bridge alone, but his extra curr- icular activities belie his supposed coyness. He ' s open for suggestions and contends he ' ll do almost anything. Next year his insatiable mind will carr y him to Carleton. CONRAD DAVID SIMPSON ' ' Breathes there a man with hide so tough, who says two sexes aren ' t enough. ' ' Dave is Hillcrest ' s Mr. Personality. One moment he is the talking man talking to the talking people, other times he is a wise psycho- analyst. In his spare time Dave is apprentice to King Farouk as a masseur. Conrad is very active; Yearbook, V.P. of the B. A.A., Captain of the basketball team, hand- ball, water skiing and hockey. Dave plans to study law or Phys. Ed. at either Queens or Waterloo. JOHN SKUBISKI A detour is something that lengthens your mileage, dim- inishes your gas and strength- ens your vocabulary. ' ' John can usually be seen driv- ing to and from school on his motorcycle everyday. While in school, he delights in be- fuddling a certain math teach- er with all his ingenious questions. Next year John will be attending Carleton U. in pursuit of an Engineering Degree. BONNIE SMITH At fifteen I gave up being a Girl Guide and became a Boy Scout. ' ' Bonnie is quietness person- ified. She is so quiet that we don ' t know anything about her. If all goes well she will probably be going to University next semester. GLENN SMITH It ' s not that I don ' t like school, it ' s just the princ- iple of the thing. ' ' Glenn is one of those boys who says a lot with his eyes. He very rarely speaks but when he does it is a shock. His main activity is girl watching and believe me he goes all out for this. Next year he ' 11 probably return to watch some more girls. KATHLEEN ONADELL SMITH ' ' We make more enemies by what we say than friends bv what we do. Kathy is ending her 5-year career at Hillcrest. During this time she has been an active member of our I.S.C.F. Club and can usually be found hiding behind the lost and found counter bargaining with some poor, unsuspecting junior. Next year ' s plans will lead her to 0. T.C. 28

DAVID THOMSON: ' ' Don ' t prophesy- -unless you know. ' Dave is really sold on athletics. He enjoys soccer, skiing, curling, golfing and other outdoor sports. A member of last year ' s Geography Club and Concert Committee, Dave collects stamps and coins, and finds time to travel in his spare time (if he has any). Dave ' s varied interests will take him to Carleton next year. KATHLEEN TUNDE TOTH: During five years Kathy has had some remarkable experiences for a Hillcrestienne. She was a part of the Drama Club and the Choir. Kathy has further demonstrated her musical talent as a folk-singing enthusiast. Next year Kathy hopes to continue her studies at U. of T. as an English major. SHAUN TOLSON: ' ' An Irishman can be worried by the consciousness of the fact that there is nothing to worry about. ' ' Shaun has been here for six years and during that time he has made himself known in many ways. He was on the Yearbook Staff for two years and has participated in all inter- form sports. Next year he will leave us to join the ranks of the Armed Forces. FRANCIS TUCKER: ' ' Fools rush in and get the best seats. ' ' Hold it kids!! We ' ve got a winner here!! This girl must be about the only student in the school with her glider pilot ' s licence. Apart from these cel- estial flings she dabbles a bit in interform sports, with swim- ming and horseback riding tak- ing up the majority of her spare time. Toronto University will find Francis roaming its halls next year. DONALD ALLAN URSU: ' ' If you tell the truth you don ' t have to remember anything. ' ' Playing soccer, running on Hill- crest ' s cross-country team and supporting some interform sports have all been a part of Don ' s athletic endeavours. In other activities he plays hockey and attends Student Council meet- ings. Don hasn ' t yet decided what his plans are for next year but, via the grapevine, his marks are good enough for wherever he intends to go (he has been an over eighty sc holar several times. ) MARIANNA VAN DE LAGEMAAT: ' ' I would if I could, but I can ' t so I shan ' t. ' ' This girl is very seldom seen in the midst of a loud discussion since she tends toward the quiet and reserved. She does not participate in school activ- ities therefore allowing herself to be devoted entirely to her studies. Marianna is undecided as to her plans for the future. CATHERINE MARY VANSICKLE: ' ' Poets utter great and wise things which they do not them- selves understand. ' ' Another VanSickles with musical talent though no relation to Bill, Cathy is .a member in soprano standing, of the choir, and a beginner in guitar (self- taught yet!!1. Her beaming personality will be a great asset to the medical profession as she plans to study nursing science at Ottawa. GARY VEILLETTE: ' ' Ordinarily he was insane but he had lucid moments when he was mere- ly stupid. ' ' As one of the older members of the Graduating Class, Gary contributes a great deal to the select Under 50 Club ' • This select club of his has regular meetings (after every set of exams), holds regattas, and decided on the policy for the future. Gary did not tell us if he was President so we assume he is not. He is another- for-st for Hillcrest as his future plans include grad- uate studies in PIRACY. WILLIAM ROBERT VANSICKLE: ' ' I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places thev do now. ' ' So who ' s complaining. ??? Bill ' Talent ' VanSickle is currently involved in displaying his musical talent as a member of his family ' s folk-sing- ing group. When not wracking his brains for the answers in French, Bill enjoys telling corny jokes so no one else can remember the ans- wers either. He lists his only hobby as HI ! FI but never under- estimate a VanSickle, especially the sly quiet type. Next year Carleton will enjoy his presence in the Commerce Faculty. MAUREEN VILLENEUVE: ' ' He who laughs last has the joke explained. ' ' Maureen is one of the quiet members of 13B that has a contagious laugh. Mau spends most of her leisure time studying to main- tain her high average. Next year she ' ll follow in the footsteps of her brother which lead to University.
