I've given up nine years, and that's been the cost Ufa Selwyn House knowledge all smothered in frills. And QI might add disdainfullyj a very high bill. As for me and my friends. we've just finished 'leven Say goodbye old friends. to the class of seventy seven. ROBERT HALL Robert has been at Selwyn I-louse for ten years. During these ten years he has been a captain of numerous sports teams and has been on many committees. Robert is known throughout the school for his speed in running races. He present- ly holds the 100 yard dash record for the school. He has also been known to be the only one able to talk to Hedrei about some sophisticated sound system he is building. Robert's presence among his friends will be missed in the years after our graduation. Good luck in future years. 1 His friends. GEORGE HEDREI George has been a whirlwind of activity ever since he came to Selwyn House years ago. In grade five he became famous as Generator George , committed to terrorizing the halls of the school and tearing down the walls with his fearsome ramming and his peculiar rumbling and screeching sounds. Since that year, he has become one of those few students whose character is inherent and vital to the class image. What would grade eleven be without George? Who else would sit at the front ofthe class. sound asleep. two feet away from the teacher because he had been up till 4:00 A,M. the previous night going crazy over his C.B. or fixing someone's toaster? Who else is regularly 4 weeks late on all his assignments but still manages to maintain first rate grades? Who else would be crazy enough to fix a movie projector so the class could proceed as planned? George's sole motivation since he was born has been electronics - watch out. because when he runs around with his 10,000 volt Zapper , things start getting dangerous. Cf course, no one can forget his splendid school-bag about 25 years old - stuffed with books. We're all confident that George will excel in his future electronic endeavours and we're all very sorry to see him go. We hope that his electronic lust will be able to con- tain itself on the appropriate occasions. I do not know what I may appear to the world: but to myselfl seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore. and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary: whilst the great ocean of truth lav all undiscovered before me.

f. 1' DOMINIC CAPET STOPPING BY THE WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village. though: He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake. The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lonely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost f TIMOTHY FITZPATRICK Timothy, also known as Fitz, has been an all-round nice guy in his seven years at Selwyn I-Iouse.

He is presently Captain of Speirs House. and is an acting member of the Entertainment Committee.
