THE LEA VlNG CLASS ADRIAN MELNICK Adrian also known as 'Bunny' lWhere do these nicknames originate?l leaves at Pickering a splendid record of academic achievement - culminating in his award of Ontario Scholar. Skiing. Tennis and Badminton at all levels of competition were Adrians 'cuppa tea' and he was almost single-handedly responsi- ble for the formation. motivation and coordination of the P.C. Badminton teams. FRANK NARDI Coming from Etobicoke two years ago with his black leather jacket. the tassels of which are a great true-wind indicator. Frank became well known for his early-moming caustic comments. Frank played Hockey, Soccer and Baseball with equal success and also excelled at chess. He was a good social convenor: in fact he was sometimes too good and his benevolence got him in- to a little trouble. St. Michaels campus of U of T is where he in- tends attending university and we hope he'll do as well there as he did here. BOBBY OSBORNE Born on the sunny shores of Freeport. Bahamas, Bobby left his leisurely lifestyle to attend Pickering for a life of 'higher education'l He left the glamour. money and power of his early life to pursue the acquisition of a more scholastic attitude. Bobby has proven himself to be a respected and responsible member of the P.C. community. He made several contributions in- cluding the Chairmanship of Silver House. His future is literally 'up in the air' as a commercial pi ot. Later. 'Slice ' KEN MINEAULT Ken came to us from a little island in the Middle East to com- plete his Gr I3 year. This he did after winning the famed Golden Shovel award for his stories of Bahrain. and becomin the bassist for the P.C. band 'efeil of Tears' Ken's enthusiasm for sports never quite got him beyond the house-league stage. but he did become an absolute- ly ace dishwasher! However. Back in Bahrain . . NIGEL NOONE Nigel came to Pickering three years ago as a quiet, shy lad from Trindad. He soon became well known and was well-liked. despite his natural reserve. by other students. He played a ter- rific game of rugby. soccer, hockey and participated in con- ditioning earning everyones respect. Nigel does not know his immediate or long-term goals once he leaves P.C. However he has been accepted U of Guelph. We will all miss 'Amazon' at P.C. Good Luck. TONY RINOMATO For three years Tony. a.k.a. 'Wop' or 'Gino' has presided on the Hilltop as School Chairman and! or Silver House Chairman during his illustrious career at P.C. Resembling John Travolta in his choice of clothing and his charming ways. Tony applied his charm to the local ladies known by many Gr I Sers, alas without any positive results. Although not a brilliant student, his school spirit. positive attitude and leadership have made him many. many friends among students teachers and staff. Next year Tony will be able to aplply his Italian charm at York U. .S. His favourite saying, My dad did the Dry-Wall in New House!

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

JUE GRAHAM SCOTT 'Scratch' graced Pickering with his company for a surprising three years during which time he was always in trouble, but never did anything wrong! Graham enjoyed many sports but. along with many of his fellow Trinida- dians, regarded them as games to be played just for fun not com- petitively for goints. Next year should see raham studying veterinary med at the Universi- ty of South Florida. ERIC TSE An avid basketball and badmin- ton player. Eric came to P.C. two years ago from the Bustling city of Hong Kong. He applied equal enthusiasm to his academic work. resulting in an average that would cause most of us to swell with pride.

DAVE WOLDER Coming to P.C. in the fall of '87 from Fort Francis, Dave soon overcame his initial shyness and settled into the P.C. modus operandi.

Veil of Tears He is planning to head for York U in the fall of '88 and we wish him all success. KELSON YANG Kelson has been at Pickering for just one year and has turned out to be not only energetic in sports but also a brilliant Gr. I3 stu- dent.

His Bruce Lee type Kong Fu makes him a better rac- quet player earning points for Red House. Kelson will continue his studies at an American university where we know he will succeed.
