C. 3 .- JF ,I ARNOLD LAZARE Ambition: Engineer Probable Destination: Standing outside a cigar store Ac- tivities: C1u'ling, wrestling, science club. Pet Peeve: English critical essay done on the Sunday before due. Claim to Fame: Becoming a prefect with six weeks of school left. Cherished memory: Science club trip to Toronto. Favorite Sayings: Wooosh I'm not American! I'm not Canadian! I'm North American! To all the people at Selwyn House Nia: Wen lThank You in Mowhawkl TOBY LENNOX Toby is a conscientious student, and has always tried to involve himself in everything: but this year he was, unfortunately, unsuccessful. He was not able to join the G.M.A.A. Chess team or the Culinary Arts Club because they ran into his time for skiing, judo, debating, Public Speaking, studying, working, and worst of all, his social life. Even being popular hasn't affected his modesty. When he was called to accept the prefect pin, he turned arotmd and said: Who me '? If you will excuse the cliche, Toby has added a great deal to the class, has been a good friend, and has been a backbone for the school. I am sure he will be remembered for many years for his effort in making this one a good school year. Many good wishes and good luck in the future. WILLIANI McN ALLY One stormy day, back in 1962, a small miracle! The long-awaited McNally child was born. After many adventures, the young Willie stumbled through the doors of Selwyn House, his eyes wide open with wonder. Now, six years later, Bill is no longer the wide-eyed boy he used to be. No, not after many years of conditioning through debating, hockey, football, and physics class, he is now a tough, cynical person, ready to deal with any emergency. 1 3 A.M.? P Vlfhether it be in his studies, or in his high playing social life, Willie lives up to his image as a tough guy, a guy whose life is filled with fast broads and cars. A musician par excellence, he has been in and out of numerous bands, but now prefers to pursue a solo career with his piano. Good luck Willie. You will go far. -His Token Friends

This Was the Year that Was In a recent survey conducted by a team of independent researchers, certain alarming trends emerged, trends which suggested that the Class of Seventy-nine actually ENJOYED their final year. Indeed, according to some emminent analysts, it was a vintage year from which the seniors imbibed wholeheartedly of both academic and athletic spirits offered, draining the year to the very least. Asked to note five moments lepiphaniesl which transformed their lives or presented them with new insights, the students observed that it all started well with the innovative leadership weekend in the Eastern T ownship, which according to some gave us good directions which we unfortunately lost. Despite their sense of being lost, limches laccording to one of that august numberl saved our sanity, but next year, maybe they can try having a budget for food. Of course, noon gommet feasts were, for some, occasions to escape by using that elusive release - one day a month - which some managed to use to avoid attending the dining hall festivities on a daily basis. Newly fotmd respon- sibilities, beyond sitting at the head of a table also ranked highly as moments of illumination, and the mornings, when they found thinking of excuses for not doing the morning duties too arduous, led them to the confrontation with the threes and fours. As one noted, I don 't know how lVIiss Hopson does it, but once more ingenuity triumphed and the library and the so-called study periodsvafforded, at least, some excuse for absence from duties. Is this what they meant by the innovative 'leisure' programme, one was heard to ask. or was it ll A's discovery that the class window was a means of observing and timing Chris Creighton 's run to class as well as a way to arrive at 8:44 and answer to roll call? However, not all discoveries related to the vision of serious duties, or of great responsibility. There were moments in the gym, on the fields, or on the rinks which prompted those surveyed to record with some satisfaction the winning of a Norsworthy trophy or of a rugby championship, or of an injury - a lasting memory of a week away from school. Not all successes, those polled felt, occurred in athletic arenas. Some indicated that the newspaper, THE SPECTRUM made new men of them and showed how gullible people could be. THE FOURTH DIMENSION No. 7, Radio-Canada Internationals A Canada to Discover, The Julia Richer Competition, and Project Pandora V, all came too late to elicit any response but five significant things have not yet happened, although some in- dividuals did discover it isn't impossible to get lousy marks, while others saw physics l good times with high marks, -bonus question! as a means of keeping the averages up, or at least as a break from fifty-hour marathons to complete English assignments - a spiritual and physical experience- or as much of one as Mona's Ballet Jazz. All in all, the peasantry - a team universally scorned - saw the year through rose-coloured glasses of one success after another - AND IT WAS .... G.C.
