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.

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!

ROBERT ORVIG Ambition: The Eiger Pastimes: Hockey, rugby, wrestling, Mountain Goat Society, Vice-President One IHUSI have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow: And have been cold along time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the january sun, and not to think Of any misery in the sound ofthe wind, In the sound ofa few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full ofthe same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. Wallace Stevens Word to the Wise: Education is like a bull's horns: a point here and a point there and a lot ofbull in between. MARK PALAYEW Since making his debut in grade 8 many accolades have dropped his way. He is the president, treasurer, chairman andjanitor ofthe Broken Arms Club - three times in one year. Owner of a great throwing arm, Mark may often be seen sitting with a bucket full of chalk pegging the Chevies, Mustangs, Olds and Fords, Mark has also been a star place-kicker on the Rugby team. However, his practice methods are a little unorthodox since he challenged the school record for kicking blackboard erasers out the window - 32! Upon reaching grade 11, so too did Mark's accomplishments dwindle. Somehow, he managed to make prefect and Macauley House captain. He even captained the Senior Basketball team and accidentally scored 32 points in one game. At his graduation I am sure Mark will look back on his four year stay at Selwyn and probably remember the good times: graduation parties, the ping-pong fiascos, the rugby, basketball, football and soccer games and the charity drive.
