ROGER OSMOND Though only a three year Sellyite. good friends are many among students and staff. and forever will the memory be green. The heights by great men reached and kept. Were not attained by sudden flight, But they. while their companions slept. Were tolling upward in the night. Henry Longfellow-1 8 58 Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, per- haps the end of the beginning. Sir Winston Churchill-1942 FILIP PAPICH Filip 'Chippy' Papich, sometimes called 'jaws' for his over-enthusiasm in Eng- lish Class joined the Selly crowd in grade 7. The school has never had a chance to recover, Whether attending an entertainment committee meeting, or rushing off to a sports practice. Fil' and not Phil- always has a moment to listen to his friends and help them if he can. Even though he misses no chance to 'whoop it up', he has managed to maintain top marks throughout the years. He has made many friends. but somehow their names have slipped my mind. Seriously now. Fil has been a great asset to his class - keep it up! A Friend Human life consists in mutual service. No grief. pain, misfortune. or broken heart . is excuse for cutting offone's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over. when one is assured ofan unavoidable and im- minent death. it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one. Charlotte Gilman ALEXANDER PATCH Miles from nowhere. not a soul in sight. Oh yeah, but it's alright. I have my freedom, I can make my own rules. oh yeah. the ones that I choose. Lord my bo- dy has been .1 good friend. but I won't need it when I reach the end. Cat Stevens In Alex we have a rare specimen. after eleven years of experimentation. That's right. eleven years! If you take a close look at him. you would think him a wor- ker. Well you're wrong. While Al WAS undoubtedly one of the brighter students, his experience earned him and his friends fringe benefits leg. twelve donuts for a table of fivel. Alex has an unusual claim to fame: he has gone through ten English teachers in eleven years Qmay they rest in peacel. A Friend

'6 6 I--BA X E' . X xv- TUL lf' lo-ft? BRENT MAINWARING When Brent came to Selwyn House in grade seven from 'down south'. he car- ried the true rebel spirit as well as a touch of southern charm. Between grades sev- en and nine he managed to cause enough trouble to start World War III. Grade ten saw a new and improved Brent. He has distinguished himself on the football, rug- by. and basketball team. He is a good debater, a skilled public speaker. and an af ble prefect. Brent also graces the Entertainment Committee with his presence. His favourite sayings include So what can I say. and Large, what an ugly! Brent amazes his friends when he pulls off top marks while doing a minimum of work. It is time for Brent to bronze his rugby cleats, pack up the ugly club, and move on to bigger and better things. Chow! I His friends MANLIQ MARESCOTTI Manlio or Mario as he likes to be called, came to Selwyn House in the fifth grade. Along with Cefis. they made up the gruesome twosome of the Italian com- munity at Selwyn House forthe next 7 years. But Manlio did more than just de- fend his ethnic background, he was also the president. vice-president and chairman of the board of the Selwyn House ball hockey league. Manlio has his redeeming points too: such as his quick wit and his bad jokes. But mostly his accomplishment of securing a cute auburn from the Study. Manlio managed to go out with this auburn for nearly a year, even though she was also very popular with many of Manlio's peers. Manlio says that he wants to go into commerce andfor hotel management. It is too bad that Manlio won't be able to pursue his scientific career. especially PSSC which he likes so much. I wish Manlio a happy and fulfilling future and hope he succeeds in what he sets out to do: who knows. I may need a dollar or a hotel room sometime in the future. A true friend DAVID MONOD Ambitions: linebacker on Saskatchewan Rough Riders, headmaster of Selwyn House, famous nuclear physicist, and renowned gnomologist. Probable Destination: Pope Activities: Talking, talking, sleeping, talking. talking, sleeping. etc. Pet Avertions: Expending energy and waking up. Favourite Saying: Yes. I know sir, but what's the point ofit?

2 7 1 N:l2' X sian- 51 CHRISTOPHER POWELL ln the ten years Chris went to Selwyn House. he acquired many good points, though ljust can't think of any at the moment. At Christmas. the whole class chips in to buy Chris a pair of shoelaces and grey socks, but he seems to lose them by Easter. Every Friday night. Chris polishes the buggy in which he drives all his friends home, and gets out the bottle of alitershave and the old can of WINDBREAK, thus attaining the title of the social charm ofWestmount . In between the numerous skiing adventures at Mt. Tremblant. he manages to attend the various local frolics. Even though Chris claims to become the world's greatest nose surgeon, we all know that his secret ambition is to be appointed the head wall-washer at the Sheraton. A Friend JAVIER QUINTANA A boleadora launched out of an Argentine maternity ward in the Ice Age, and finally landed at Selwyn House in grade 5. His name was Javier, and the school simply has never recovered from this onslaught of Argentine brawn and brain. Javier manages to maintain a very low profile. despite a very distinguished record in academics and a superb athletic performance. Football, rugby and hockey e a jock in all with the style of a wall. he has centainly left his indelible impact on many people. He has also found time to be a prefect. debate, work on the entertain ment committee and completed the invigorating sports section of this manuscript We all wish him the best of luck, as he hopes to continue his endeavours at some American University. P.S. I forgot to say that Javier is very adept at Math, Chemistry and Physics, especially impressed by their slope and symmetry. Also. he recently developed an affinity for gourmet cooking. - If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a frag- rance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal - that is your success. - Henry David Thoreau STEPHEN SCOTT Next in line to joe Clarke as Conservative leader. Stephen Duke Scott leads the Tory cause in ideological disputes in History and Political Science classes. But Stephen. who is actually right of the Queen. will turn around and begin ar- guing Marxist theory ifit is good for an argument. This ability to argue both sides ofany subject hos distinguished Stephen as a master debater. Other activities include co-editor of the Yearbook, prefect, racquet star and fastest eater at lunch. His dress, manners and general deportment leads some peo- ple to call him a slob, but if he realises his ambitions as a lawyer-businessman. we are sure he will mend his ways. - no man is an island. . . . . .ask not for whom the bells toll, they coll for thee - john Donne
