L- - iii 7 2' 11B At some moment in future time, when you are thumbing through this year- book, I am certain you will say to yourselves, We were a good class , and will smile inwardly at some remembered highlight of your senior year. Well, I would agree. You were a good group. Problems of discipline were non-existent. ln- stead, a spirit of co-operation and good humour characterized our early morn- ing meetings. You became aware of the need for personal academic standards and goals for post-secondary education, you offered leadership as Seniors and contributed to the progress ofthe School. By june 1976, each of you will have played his unique role in improving the School for its succeeding members. I congratulate you and wish you all success in your future endeavours. J.E.

11A Each successive grade 11 leaves an indelible mark on Selwyn House and this, perhaps most significantly, provides an unconscious direction for the present grade 10 which eyes the coming year with forboding and yet fresh enthusiasm. Grade 11A can look back with a certain sense of accomplishment at what they have provided. Significantly. the students have reflected a strong sense of individuality in their accomplishments at school. For the most part, they have also exhibited a sincere desire to succeed, despite hazards and mistakes. And, indeed, many have enlightened and enlivened many school activities. However, as the actress complained to the bishop, Enough of these confessions, let's get on with it! Good luck for the future. B. W. Porter

DONALD BLOXAM Donald's distinguished academic career at Selwyn House reached its climax this year when he passed his first math exam. . .barely. . .Known for his prowess in certain fields Donald can often be seen on Friday nights terrorizing old West- mount ladies in his silver Mazda. When he is not being Mario Andretti, last year's winner ofthe Charles Atlas look-alike award is busy beating up big bullies on the beaches of Florida. Although Donald will be sorry to leave Selwyn, perhaps at last the calibre ofjolces at 95 Cote St. Antoine will improve. His Friend WA LDEMAR BOCKLER What can be said after eight years in the same institution? Striving for higher goals is the key. Superlative achievements like the model paper airplane that flew from the third floor to the synagogue one block away: or getting above 85'Zon an English paper. It's all a con game, says the English master. But the real teachers were the other students. Learning to belong and preparing each other for life and survival in a changing world was perhaps the IllOSt important characteristic in our model society. So to Selwyn, my friends and would-be friends: thanks! Now, we go out to cut new and separate paths into the future, leaving the old one, as nothing but a shadow in the past.
