JEFFREY NEUMANN Destination: God only knows why I want to be a doctor when I could spent my time painting, playing chess or tennis. My ulterior motive is to have two nurses pose for me. Epilogue: Our great School has taught me humility and the ability to think, but alas, not to keep quiet. Si tacuisses, philxo sophus mansissesf' It is sad that I must leave my Selly studios. I never will find such a great bunch of fellows and teachers again. JACK OGILVY For years, everyone tried to understand Jack, but this year, we all gave up. Although it's hard to believe, Jack has been lphysicallyl at Selwyn for eleven years. A few years ago, it was rtunored that Jack had spent a summer vacation taking survival courses in Colombia. From that time on, he has had a new look on life. He will always be remembered for such classic comments as, God you're ugly, and Kiss mine. He will also be remembered for playing on various team sports lfootball and rugbyl. But, ever since Jack has been here. he has confided in us and he told us that he wants to get out of this place. Well, now's your chance Jack, and good luck. -his friends MARTIN OSMOND Since his arrival in our midst in the fall of 1974, Martin has undertaken many activities both in the academic and extra-curricular realms. However in order to avoid being g1mg ho , we will abstain from extolling them at great length. Instead, we shall dwell on his many shortcomings. He was appointed Prefect in the early-late-mid spring of 1978. and, to his great shame and poor soul, he was appointed to the Sportsmen's Guild. He was further burdened by being subjected to membership on the Entertainment Committee. Alas, the oft-pitied lad has managed to keep a stiff upper lip. One can 't help but admire the true deter- mination and spirit which has kept our little friend going. His contagious en- thusiasm threatened to upset the status-quo at Selly, and for that, we admire him. -his friends- A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. - The Bible: Proverbs 18:24.

OLIVER MERSEREAU When Oliver came to us in grade six, he was no new boy to the system and fitted right in. Over the years we have regarded him as a trustworthy honest friend. Academically, Ollie las his friends call him! has kept a good average while being involved in various extra-cmricular activities. He has been invaluable to the yearbook and photography club. lOften he has been seen running around taking candid photos of unwary people! Oliver will always be remembered lespecially for asking me to write his grad note the day after they were due!. A friend ANDREW NEMEC Andrew Nemec became a prefect this year due to an uncanny ability to talk to teachers. His most interesting features are his feet. Andrew, even since grade one, has had feet! Another thing which Andrew is known for is his mouthg it is always moving. However, over the years Andrew's contribution to school sports has been outstanding. He has played football 4Bantam, Junior, Senior! and was this year's team captain. He is an all-star wrestler and has been a rugby player ever since he could grunt. We do not know what we would have done without him. Actually we do, but we won't tell. KAREL NEMEC Karel's career at Selly extends all the way back to grade one. From the days of Madame Dorion, Mrs. MacLean, and lVIr. Philips to the present timeg he has always made himself known to us by exercising his physical assets or by sharing his extremely diverse insight and knowledge. Although Karel excels in such sports as football, squash, and rugby. we never under-estimated his mental capabilities. His Friends.

MICHAEL PATERAS Michael has been at Selwyn House for six years. During that time, he has been involved with numerous sports teams, many activities, some committees, and a bit of schoolwork. Mike was once heard saying, I may miss the school once I leave, but never as much as it will miss me, and Thanks, I really enjoyed it. CHRIS PATON Whenever a party invitation is given to Chris, and there are many, he gets a special one that has the time a half-hour earlier. He comes ready to classify all social data. Not yet having enough, Chris makes his usual end-of-the pilgrimage to The Sea Horse, where he delights all with his stirring conversation. The following Monday, he graces us with his appearance, at some point or another. Well all remember Chris when we tie our shoe-laces-and untie them-and tie them- and untie them because of the ancient Czech superstition whereby one must do everything at least four times which, which he has instilled into all our habits. Thanks a lot! -His tall, but reassuring friends. NICK POWELL Nick, being the responsible prefect that he was, was too busy planning the Macaulay house acts for the Christmas Assembly to write his grad note.
