Sergio was on the Head- master's Honour Roll during his year at P.C.

TIM JONES Known affectionately far and wide as Newf,' 'Newfie,' or 'Skoobydol' Tim came to this Hilltop with a chip on his shoulder two years ago. After realising he didn't have to con- tinuallylprove his worth. he soon settled own and kept everyone cheerful through tou h times as well as good times. Aihough ac- tive in some sports. Tim was perhaps more interested in other extracurricular' activities. Newf has become a student of in- telligence and talent, where these qualities will be further challeng- ed is. at present. unknown. fn PAUL HINDER Originally at Pickering as a prepster. Paul left to return later as a mature, Gr I3 student to follow his destiny on the Hilltop in pursuit of ultimate truth. Part of the 'Circle du frers' Paul never had problems in school. Classes, especially English Il, were just a 'walk in the park' for him. Pro- fessing an infatuation with 'Ex- tra Stock' and ladies with long legs. Paul was often heard wondering 'Why can't life be an endless beer commercial? He will continue the quest at Waterloo - with it's well known Octoberfest - after leaving P.C. FRANK JONAS Spent five years at Pickering and soon became known far and wide for his artistic abilities nurtured under the guidance of Mr. Jamie MacRae. In fact, his very first acrylic on canvas. done in Gr 9. received Best Award in the All Ontario Independent Schools Art Competition. Recreational tennis filled in his spare moments be- tween his craft and his good academic work. He will continue his studies at the Pratt Institute of the Arts in New York, and we all wish him well.

With others from the islands. Feda has at times been like a drop of sunshine in this frozen wasteland - especially after being woken up to attend class! Best of Luck to Feda from all at Pickering, and Hey Dude, Lets Party! l 1 i l l l

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

i l l l l l l l i l l l l l . l r l l l CLEMENT LAM 'Clam' came to P.C. from Hong Kong in Sept. '87 and although apparently rather shy. he very quickly made many friends. With a fine academic record at home. Clem was a 'natural' for the top of the class with a 9396 average. He has been accepted at all the places where he applied to carry- on his interest in Computer Engineering and we are certain he will do well in his endeavours. We are equally sure he will con- tinue to help others in their times of need. DOUGLAS LEUNG Douglas came to Pickering Col- lege in September last year and became a member of Blue House. It soon became obvious that he was not only the biggest Chinese guy in P.C. but the biggest guy. period. He was involved in bad- minton. basketball and condition- ing. He will continue his studies at the University of San Francisco next year. MIGUEL MANSILLA A weathered member of smok- ing fraternity, Miguel, aka Old One Eye came from Hamilton to dominate P.C. with his sar- torial splendour! So well dress- ed - even wearing a tie when not told to - he was often mistaken for a member of the staff, even in Mexico l Una cerrasa. por favor l With his Rocco look and his witty sense of humour he was well accepted at P.C. Concen- trating on academics rather than sports, he gave up much of his s eep to do well in Relations and Calculus. Miguel intends going to McMaster to study Psychiatry, maybe getting his driving licence on the way. JONAS LELLIOTT Jonas, an immigrant S.A.C, stu- dent, arrived this year to further his academic excellence at the Hilltop. This blond headed Tex- an lKnown as 'our Polish friend'l has confirmed his overwhelming desire to intimidate teachers. He took part in three House-League sports in the course of the years. only to prove his real interests lay in more late-night activities. Jonas' next step on the highway is to Waterloo for studies on Ur- ban! Regional Planning. MARK LIPFELD Ask Mr. Cruttwell, Mark was always five minutes late for English every morning of the year! I guess it was, in part, due to driving up from hornhill every morning, - or was it that he never really got the bugs out of the many different cars that he owned within this one school year. While here. at P.C. Mark has come to realise that home- work, study and preparation are the essential ingredients for pas- sing courses and tests. His Future looks like - Sciences at McGill en route to becoming a Sports Phy- sician. NOEL MCCAHON Noel ventured forth from Lon- don. Ontario enrolling in the P.C. program three lfunl years ago. and has become well-known for his elusive 'dates'. He has had the distinction of winning the Stud. lClub 404l Award, and considers himself as a drummer of no small ability playing for three multi- decibel years with P.C. groups. Not having yet decided on which school of higher learning he will favour - a safe bet would be he will continue to avoid any kind of physical activity. JU E l988
