CHRISTOPHER MATHER Ambition: Rich international airline pilot. Probable Destination: Richer Mirabel taxi driver. Activities: Football, hockey, rugby, chess, -l.K.S. club. boxing. Favourite Saying: You wanna spar? Pet Aversion: After lunch, I would like to see the following in my office. Mather.. BRUCE McARTHUR Far be it from me to condemn a school which has given me so much. . . We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety: he is my God, and I am trusting him. Psalm 91 Selly, I've learned a lot from you, about Math, French. English. even Geography and a lot more about life. Now it's my turn to take over. and try to make it on my own. Thanks for all your help! KENNETH MUNRO Although Ken hasn't been at Selwyn House for that long. his experiences here have brought him an early case of insanity many thought only existed for veteran graduates. Infamous for his sense of humour and supposed deafness, Ken possesses the rare ability of being able to completely disrupt a class in full flight - with ten words or less. A co-head of the underground Crawler movement, dedicated to such anarchy, he can be found anywhere there's a laugh to be had. However, Ken is also a conscientious math student. and with what he's gained from and given to math at S.H.S., - especially the latter - nobody would be surprised if he ended up behind a Selwyn Math Dept. desk sometime in the future!

SIMON LANGSHUR To put it simply, Simon was a very hard-working and dedicated student. This showed up admirably in his wellaresearched term papers and in his marked attentive- ness in Chemistry class. Known as a brilliant chemist, Si1non's favourite pastimes were bubbling off hydrogen in empty drawers and blowing glass. No slouch in P.S.S.C. either, Simon's on inal labs often left the teacher uite uzzled... An active tl Cl P participant in extracurricular activities too, Simon first achieved fame as a political debater and then drew rave reviews and theatrical acclaim for his sensitive ortra al i P Y of Newton in the French class production of l'Hercules. Who knows? Perhaps one da he'll be teachin oetr at S.H.S.! Y g P Y ALASDAIR MACAULEY It is as reasonable to represent one kind ofimprisonment by another, as it is to represent anything that really exists by that which exists not! Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe. Aujourd'hui, maman est rnorte. Ou peutfetre hier,je ne sais pas. A. Gamus, L'Etranger. And all shall be well And all manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of fire are infolded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one. T.S. Eliot, Little Guiding. There are two divisive forces in the world today, one of building up, and one of breaking down, supranationalism, and linguistic and ethnic nationalism respectively. Where will we find freedom between the two? Long live Canada! Vive le Quebec libre!

ANDREW NEAL Andrew was elected House Captain of Wanstall and Prefect, after participating in Football, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer, Track, Golf, Basketball, Wrestling, Badminton and Swimming during his five years at Selwyn. Note: we neglect to mention his academic standings, or rather , his lack of them. The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. EJ. Phelps ROSS NORDlN Pet Aversion: The Village idiot Activities: Entertainment Committee, Yearbook, Squash and Computers. Epilogue: Selly has a lot of idiosyncrasies but that's what you must learn to accept at a small private school. Soon I will remember only the good times I've had here Now I must move on to something new and meet some different people. Adieu.
