Not all of the ventures were complete successes, however, since the school newspaper, THE MOON, was only produced twice in the year. The elevens also participated in many competitions in maths and essay writing. All in all, the year has been quite a productive one on the part of the grade elevens. Let's hope that next year's makes us as proud!

The radua This year, thirty-four graduates had the distinct pleasure of frequenting the school for the last time. Many of them were particularly disturbed by this being their last year at the school. Many of the boys, however, were rather pleased that they would be starting new lives outside the school's regime. The boys really enjoyed the numerous extra-curricular activities in which they had participated during the course of the year. Particularly worthy of note were the three French plays that each of the groups put on for the rest of the school. Also, the involvement in many money-raising activities, 3 t v .- 12 t

'.'F 'X xx- WS.,-f JOSHUA ALBERT Here we go again! Why am I always first? I don't mind being first in math, but being first for French orals bothers me. Well, since this is the first grad note you will read tif you're normal and start at the beginningj I had better make it good. Since landing at Selwyn House in grade eight, I have been trying to do two things: to stay out of trouble and to destroy the myth that I am English. I have, to an extent, succeeded in both endeavours and, of course, many others as well. I might re-visit the school in five years, and, who knows, I might even become an engineer. I will probably still be listening to Led Zeppelin. Well, I have to ramble on: it's time for me to go. ALI T. ARGUN Well, I've been here for five years and now, it's time to go. I leave this place with mixed feelings, really. There have been some good times, and, more often than not, there have been some bad ones. But, l'll leave those behind me because I know what's waiting for me outside these walls. Still, I can't help but wonder how I would feel at this very moment had I gone to a different school. I stand up for my pride I don't wanna be just like anyone In this world I cannot hide I must finish what I have begun Got a picture in my mind Of the way that I wanna be I'm doin' what I feel is right l'm ready ifl need to fight And l'm on my way. -Foreigner Many thanks to S.K., M.D., M.D.B., C.G., and J.B. who were always there. Here's wishing all my fellow graduates, and all the rest of you staying behind, the best possible success in the future. CHARLES MAPPIN Charles, or Chuckles, has been at Selwyn House for eleven years - it's a long time to be at one place for ten months out of twelve. l must admit that he is one of the few who has survived the full eleven years - without cracking up once. lt's really hard to write anything about Charles since he was a very quiet individual and since this is a rush job because he didn't bother writing his grad note. When I think of Chuckles, nothing comes to mind except a smile - one reaching from one eye to the other. One great achievement of his was in grade eleven when he joined Mr. Reid's club - a kick in the rear. Next year he ventures off to Brebeuf. Charles, good luck and I hope you keep your sanity and your smile! -a friend
