JEAN PHILIPPE BRY His birth in Necilli, France gave Phil his continental attributes: New York, His cosmopolitan then there is Brockville, which must have given him every in- tersting moment of his life which he has recounted lover and over and over again! to his fellow students for the four years that he has been with us. He has amazed us in his transition from grade eight quaker to his Casanova - like way with women, Bmce Jenner - like athletic prowness lsoccer, football, rugby and senior hockey team captainl, to his ravenous appetite for RIBS - SPARE THE SAUCE!! Sincere good luck to Phil in whatever he may pursue in life, whether it be Ambassador to Cambodia or general success. And to all his associates the same good wishes while they listen to his stories of Necilli and Brockville over and over and His Friends KENNETH BURNS Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of ex- perience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. - A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN. James Joyce. JOHN CAPLAN John Caplan has been at the school for nine years. He has taken place in many extra-curricular activities within the school, but, imfortunately, we can 't remember any. Rumour has it that John is wanted by the F .B.I. and the Canadian Immigration Bureau for hiding illegal immigrants up his nose. John will long be remembered for his famous lunch sermons in which he tells the life and death story of a Pakistani grass-cutter, or of the secret activities of the K.G.B. Many teachers will be sure to remember John for his activities , For example, in grade seven biology class, John cut up a dissected frog into little pieces and left them in his dissecting pan. But John is leaving this year isob! I D, and I'm sure the school will miss him. Good luck, John! - His Friends -

It's a great feeling, believe me! 1Many interpretations.l Good friends, good times GOODBYE! ANDREW BLACK Andrew, responsible prefect that he was, was too busy mopping floors this year to write his grad note. Although he did find time to satisfy his appetite for RIBS lor Foose Bearl. ANDY BROCINER years now. During this time he has been caught doing many things. He has spent, as far as we know, more hours 1days?I at the yellow door Coffee House than anyone else in Montreal. He has attained perfection at imitating Litvack's voice, and mastered the art of writing a year's worth of Haiku in one English class. As any girl who passes Selly will testify, he has more brilliant opening lines l I love young My place or yours g If you've got the time, I've got the placeul than anyone in the school.What really makes him really stand out, though, is his new Pontiac Firebird Formula, all equipped with V-8g 350 H.P.

CHRIS CHAPMAN During his unpredictable rise to fame at Selwyn, Norton has become a definite asset to the school, and is well liked to the point of being adopted by Barry Williams. An outstanding non-athlete, Norts has not been on football, soccer, hockey, basketball, and rugby teams for the past five years. He has also not earned many academic awards. Norty has managed to soil his good name by receiving the Mark Beresford Memorial Award for academic ineptitude. Norton lsometimes called Chrisl is a master at the bad pun, the rotten one-liner, and the stolen joke, and is often hit for his tasteless comments before, during and after class. He is also a mine of non-information. An hour spent with Chris is better than a year in barber college. SOME MEMORABLE STATEMENTS: Spam : Elwood lives g Hello Chris' sisterug Nudge, nudgeng Hi Muffug Secks g Hey cheesy babyug Homework? You're kidding, right? g Hi, Dad , Well let's hear you try to be funny . JEAN-FRANCOIS CHENIER Hil Welcome to my grad note. Hope you like it but. if you don 't well, that's life. Are you comfortable? Okay Let 's go. Perhaps I should start by saying that I'm going to keep this humble. True, I could rave about my perfonistic achievements in debating and on the squash court. or dwell on the fact that I'm a genius lthough my marks don't necessarily indicate it! I 3 however, that's just not my style. I would rather be imperliguous. Therefore, all I want to say is that Selwyn House has been one of the greatest stonfabulations that has ever happened to me, and, though I hate to sound as if I'm blowing my own horn, that I have been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to Selwyn House. STEPHEN FONG Well, after all those years, those ethnic jokes are now really getting the best of me. I'm sure you long, pointy nosed. hairy people with pale faces can understand that right? Bye-Bye now.
