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
