SELIM SAAB Selim has been at Selwyn so long, that the school is considering naming a desk after him in his favorite place - the detention room. We are not implying that Selim is always in trouble -just that he can resist anything but temptation. His future plans are many... to graduate from Selwyn, become president of Lebanon, and to build an atomic bomb - a project that he started in Grade 8 chemistry class but had to abandon because of his strong devotion to his other academic studies! RONALD SCHOUELA Ambition: EigerfNorth Face Probable Destination: President ofAlpine Mountain-Goat Society Pet Aversion: Ripple Tanks Philosophy: Eternal nothingness is o.k. if you're dressed for it,', Woody Allen Parting Remark: Living is a thing you do Now or never, Which do you? Piet Hein EDWARD SCHWARTZ Eddie will undoubtedly end up in Wall Street making his fortunes by selling pictures of his silhouette and pushing bagels on the side. Often the butt of prob- oscis-related jokes, Eddie will patiently explain to you in his best French that Charles de Gaulle's landmark was one centimeter longer. A sampling of his feelings reveal: Favourite Teacher: Mona Favourite Couple: Mona and Dabe Pet Aversion: Eddie Heath Favourite Pastime: Arranging his Marionopolis schedule so that he has four days off per week.

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!

I will not say: do not weep: for all tears are an evil. j.R.R. Tolkien JAMES TURNER One Christmas was so much like another, in those years, around the sea corner now, and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six, or whether the ice broke and the skating grocer vanish- ed like a snowman through a white trap-door on that same Christmas Day that the mince-pies finished Uncle Arnold and we tobogganed down the seaward hill, all the afternoon, on the best tea-tray, and Mrs. Griffiths complained, and we threw a snowball at her niece, and my hands burned me so, with the heat and the cold, when I held them in front of the fire, that l cried for twenty minutes and then had somejelly.
