gal!- gn- -V ' XL' ilu-if ANDRE DESMARAIS Andre is known to many of his classmates as a dirty capitalist swine. He's not really that bad, but don't let him handle your stocks. In a more serious vein, Desi has been at Selly for only two years, during which he has distinguished him- self with incomprehensible, illogical arguments, shouting down visiting socialists CL .B J, presenting magic formulae for instant success on the stock market, making it as a Rinky-Dink hockey star, then subsequently as a hockey star, doing stints as the Robert Charlebois of S .H .S ., and in general being an all-round flunkie. In the future he's expected to become the first male president of the Women's Temperance League and chairman of the Bazooka Bubble Gum Co., or a manure shoveler in Calgary being paid by the pound. If he isn't giving offers you can't refuse, you'll probably be able to find him training Sheba and Roosevelt to attack English teachers on sight. His Socialist Friends WILLIAM GOULD My years at Selwyn have come to an end. I feel that the past eight years have culminated in a peak beyond my highest hopes. The awards and activities in my years have been very satisfying but this year I found the best aspect of school life. That is a unity within my class and a realization of good communi- cation between the boys of grade eleven and the rest of the school - even the teachers. With Selwyn House as my basis l hope that my future will be as bright as my past at the school. The school has many good points but its best is unquestionably. the students, for without them the school would be nonexistant. To past and present members of the school body I say, that1k you and good luck. TAYLOR GRAY ln eleven years of hard labour at Selwyn House School Taylor has had the incredible record of achieving absolutely nothing. He has managed to maintain this record inspite of the fact that he was a prefect, a House Captain fSpeirsj, and that he captained some of the Football, Hockey, Rugby, and Soccer teams that he has participated on. In short, he is the all-Selly jock. His one great academic pride is that in grade three, he received lOOf'fo in a math exam. Taylor does have some good points, though, we just can't think of any at the moment. lxlany people will remember Taylor growing on the walls of the prefect room, or joining in the lively discussions during our free foopslj we mean study periods.

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
