1' cr. D 'i x I vf -i-v S N9 CHRIS CARTER When Chris first joined us five years ago. his future at Selwyn was clear. From the first few months. during which he broke his arm. the coming bleak years were foreshadowed to him as he proceded to fail his first History exam. As fortune would have it. and as time would tell. his career picked up to its climax. when he assaulted Mr. Zubizerreta with a piece of chalk ,and got a 905 for his efforts 1. Commendable Achievements: Selwyn House Grade A - 1 choice defect: Debator, first place at Kempville: Bantam and Senior Soccer. Bantam and Senior Rugby: Entertainment Committee: Sports Guild. Closing Remarks: Well. so much for my respectability...what'll I try next time? -His debtor of two steins yfulll. KENNETH CLARK just as we suspected. Kennetlfs eleven years at Selwyn House have finally begun to affect his personality. lt' he is not babbling on about the Rolling Stone's shoe sizes. he is patrolling the halls or hiding in alcoves near tower room stairs. Among his major accomplishments. he boasts having spent three hours with a lonely female and only talked to her. Ken is also one of the only people who frequent the Metro Level of Alexis Nihon in three piece suits and rubber sandals. Fortunately. for the future of Selwyn and the preservation of the staff's sanity, Ken is finally leaving. JAMES COMMON Things He Has Been Caught Saying: Let me win for a while. Excuse me. can I watch Star Trek now? Tunters is also called Bibillic. He also said he could play the bass! Aim all your fingers at my right eye. Really! Games like Screens shouldn't be played a lot. I can tell: I have my secret ways. Coke goes great with large diameter hamburgers.

sms. aware Qif PIERRE BAILLARGEON Pierre has always been famous for his fantastic parties, sponsoring all our nefarious habits. Whether on the rubgy field or in the back of the physics lab, his humour and positive ideas have always been appreciated. Although he may spend too much time trying to arrange his hair. his dress has inspired a more civilized approach to social gatherings. He's been here for a long time. the full eleven years. and it's incredible that he hasn't visibly suffered. I don't think that anyone will forget him or the masterpieces he drew on your textbooks. GORDON BALLANTYNE Nicknames: Burns. Burner. Bigfoot. Canoefeet, Chevy Freak Activities: Football. Wrestling. Rugby, Entertainment Committee. Lucas House Captain Gordon is know for his sideburns. but don't let that deter you, there's more to the book than shown on the cover. If you hear what sounds like a 454 Chevy coming your way. be assured that Gordon is approaching in a good mood. Among his strange characteristics are his naturally windblown hair . his obsession with anything on wheels. his unforgettable classroom renditions of Rod Stewart, E. L. O., and David Bowie. and his unsatiable thirst for apple cider. Although he commutes from PointefClaire Qyes. Michael. there are roads in Pointe4Clairel. Gordon spends more than all of his time in Westmount with the help of his reserved bed in Grandma's room . Cherished Memories: R. B.. x P. C.. R. I. Qdespite his being a freakj The Canoe Trip QNo. I and No. 2 I. Tequila. Knowlton. Latin class. and. of course, Coach R. W. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes You might just find You can get what you need. -The Rolling Stones RICHARD BLUNDELL Old friend, yes I remember you. always a smile on your face, oh a memory from years before, an old man and a little boy, Qld friend. I remember you .... When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold, well I wish when the evening comes that they'll always be... some old friend who'll miss me too.... -Chris Deliurgh Richard is, among other things. a perverse worrier. an injury-jinxed athlete and a pessimistic partisan. But one of the more outstanding features of our school is its spirit and camaraderie on the field and in the school building. and more than anyone else. Richard symbolizes the cohesion of our grade. and therefore our school.

'Fei rf' an- 1'- pe' S MARK DAVIDSON For those who know Mark Davidson. no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, no explanation is possible. NATHAN FONG How one finds himself inarticulate then literally rushed to reduce the years of development or energy into words. These words are my epitaph, one could say. To imagine how these faces and halls shall be left until they are only a blur of reminiscences! Why even all those valuable jokes in History shall be forgotten by peers. Anyhow. if I were to write an EPITAPH, it would be addressed basically to the lower grades. but also to people in general, and it would be something like: Try to look beyond the boundaries Not the mere school walls. But your own limits. Indeed. l'll be pretentious Enough to say Seek knowledge beyond those obstructions By tearing yourself from those confounded tapes. Chow.
