JOHN CLARK Student and Duty Assistant, John came to Pickering in the summer of eighty-seven for his second stint under the guidance of his step-dad, Sheldon H. Clark. His activities at P.C. were wide and varied, from a successful sports program - playing for the first teams both in soccer and rugby. With his coaching abilities being shown with the hockey team. Abstractly, John had a very ac- tive night life in the surrounding social area, thus portraying his title of the 'Studly Smurf' John successfully completed his work program and we wish him well. CHRIS DUSHINSKI For five long years, Dush has been our 'West is best' lad from Edmonton. Chris has been the school chairman for three terms. and Blue House chairman an unbelievable seven times! ln sports Chris has been on the Snr Rugby, First Hockey and First Soccer teams. Eternally grateful to be finally free next year, Chris will probably concentrate on ear- ly canonization. A psychotic Oilers groupie, he has been known to cry for days over one loss! Good Luck St. Chris. and may Wayne Gretzky live forever. MATT GORDON a.k.a. 'Head Brother' came to P.C. in '85 and has been at the crux of many Hilltop events. Five successful acting roles, chainnan of the school twice. and other im- portant positions under his, rather generous belt, tend to balance his enthusiasm in sports: house leagmue baseball, badmin- ton and ockey. Never tardy with handing in papers, Matt ex- celled in all areas. He will be tak- ing theatre arts at York next year as a preliminary to an acting career or waitin on table at the Bel Air cafe. Alf the Best. Matt We'll miss ya, Brother! PAUL CLITHBERT Came to Pickering for his senior year from Salisbury. Wiltshire, U.K. and soon became a leader in his residence, Red House. Among other duties he served as co-captain of the late-night hi- links team, - statues very rarely move by themselves - but denies any knowledge of the water madonna. Not especially athletic, 'Bert' was more concerned with raking in the green as manager of The Squids. A founding member of the illustrious McDonalds Club. Paul liked nothing better than his week-end leaves. He is hoping to go Anywhere They'll take me next year MARK FUNG Mark is one of our brilliant brains coming from Hong Kong. He did extremely well in his studies at P.C, achieving averages in the 9O's. Mark a so contributes to the school physically: basketball. badminton and tennis are his favourite sports. His favourite colour is a pale mustard and this probably originates from the time when a mustard pot exploded at his table in the dining hall giv- ing his shirt a new look! He is looking forward to attending McMaster University next year and we all know he will do well there. ROB HARMER Coming from Sunny North York to the Hilltop last September, Rob with several others. will be remembered as the last survivors of the original Firth House. Rob played on the senior Hockey and Rugby teams and. every Wednes- day escaped to the Navy League. This 'navy boy' is active in pain- ting, design and modern art and wil be furthering his studies in fine arts courses in Queens or Bishops. Being a great optimist, Rob believes, 'When the surf is good it's great: when it's bad you go to work.' JU E, l988

John is probably the only student in P.C. history to stay in class after I l.3O a.m. Not to worry - he has his loyal pick-up truck, Spanky, to take im home. lf he cannot go home. then Big Lou will come and help get him out. As with John's past, we're not sure what the future holds for him. Luckily for John, if nothing works out then he can always become the head Buggy-Boy at Knob Hill Farms.
