Friends It is my joy in life to find at every turning of the road The strong arm of a comrade kind to help me onward with my load.

When the newcomer recovers from the initial shock, he begins to sort the whole thing out in his mind. Perhaps it won't be so bad, he allows himself to think. Let's see, now. What is the name of the short, quiet one? And what about the humorist? Oh, yes, that's right. And the one who was so much help -- the one who made suggestions that always seemed to come out ofa clear, blue sky, just when I was ready to climb up on my desk and scream? So, gradually, one gets to know them all. The one who seemed at first to be brusque and demanding turns out to be a pretty good type to have around, and even, occasionally, a real joy to teach. A class can be a gunny thing. A teacher sees classes that exhibit strong group tendencies of every conceivable kind. Somewhere along the line, something has gone very right, or very wrong, and the group shows it. llB has impressed this newcomer as a fortunate group, one for whom things 1L1Cki1y Wim fighf- If has been a fortuitous way for a newcomer to be initiated. I feel fortunate too. I will remember the boys of this class for a long time, and will watch with interest their initial attempts to identify themselves from the descriptions of individuals hinted at, above. For they have been interested, and interesting. I W .M . Reid

4 GERALD CHOW Activities: Political Science club, Art club, soccer, hockey, tennis, and badminton. Ambition: Surgeon. Probable destination: Banking and business. Favorite saying: A xg ,W CI love youj. From the wisdom of China, all men are brothers. Pope Paul VI EDWARD CLAXTON Ted qTdcl, Terd, Edward Bear, John key, JC, or anything else you feel like calling himj has had a lot said about his eleven years at Selwyn ,... too bad none of it can be printed. We can say that he is a prefect, a House Captain fLucasJ, the head of the Students' Council? , and the school's representative on the Students' Union. l-le has, however, participated in some worthwhile activities The schoo1's hockey, rugger, tennis and ski teams have never been the same since he graced them with his presence. Edward is one of the most controversial people in the school. He'll enter into any argument and dazzle his opponents with an eloquent display of effrontery. He continually amazes the peasants at Selwyn as he pulls off first class honours by doing a modicum of work. Once upon a time Ted did work hard, in fact years ago he won the Jock Barkley Trophy. His Friends MARC CORDEAU Activities: Squash, Golf, Radio Club, Television Club, General Flunky. Ambition: Naval Admiral Probable destination: Stoker on H.lxl .S. Hood Pet Aversion: incompetent Lab partners. Favourite Saying: Yes, ofcourse sir, but . .. People on wheels hate people on feet It takes two to make a one way street. 15
