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.

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.

Q-gg-ggi DAVID POLLAK 'does anybody wanna be anything out ofthe ordinary? asks the instructor. The smartest kid in class. who comes to school drunk. raises l1is hand 8: says 'yes sir. I'd like to be a dollar sir.' Bob Dylan 'The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep. W.A. So long. ROBIN ROHLICEK Robin, Qalias Ogrel has been around for a long time and he has left his mark on more than the desks he has occupied. He can usually be found in the physics lab trying to disprove Newton or busy writing a computer program to run the world! Otherwise, he is probably keeping peace in the prefects room. He hopes he will be remembered on the soccer and rugby fields for more than his bloody nose, but who knows! IAN ROSS Ian was an all-around great guy. Being untiring sports enthusiast and a dynamic party goer earned Ian his good-guy reputation. Although his sense of co-ordination still puzzled medical experts, he managed to be an excellent skier and avoid serious mishaps. A dedicated English student. we are sure the school doesn't look forward to receiving his first collection of prose and poetry!
