MICHAEL DUNGAN In future times when Mike has slain his last dragon, and rides his moose down from his happy vicarage, he will look back to this page of Selwyn House '80. He will read this note, and with a tear and a chuckle remember his days at Selwyn House. Five years have passed, and this summer the mad Irishman goes back home. In sports, and leadership, Mike performed with heart and enthusiasm. In the classroom and halls, his monty-pythonic humour and insane wit have sent many rolling in laughter. His tender love for the moose species, his pink jogging pants, and his Casanova- esque manner will be remembered by his classmates. A truly unique individual, Selwyn House will never be blessed with another of his kind. -A friend When I think of grade seven, I think of the cold, barrack-like locker room we used to have downstairs. When I think of this, my graduating year, I think of how close five years have brought me to my friends and even, believe it or not, my teachers. This closeness is the result of many strange things: with some of my friends, I laughed in- sanely at getting six per cent on a physics test, how can I ever forget the awesome spirit and team psyche I enjoyed on various teams, football in particular. This closeness is what made my term at Selwyn so important. This could quite possibly sound very gay, but I love you all. GLENN FONG Happiness only comes to people who are too busy to seek it . Aim: To try and be same. At this point in my life, I can safely say that I am burning with desire to experience all the laughs, the cries, the sudden manifestations, and the overwhelming disillusionments, all waiting in store for me in the future. Why? Don't ask me I seem to think it right. Probable Destination: a chance for survival Know your stuff, know who you are stuffing, then stuff them with style -Golden Rule for Debators

GREGORY CLARKE There are many things one could say after spending eight years at Selwyn House, but most of them would be unsuitable for printing. CHRISTOPHER CREIGHTON Passing Thought: Let's all move one place on. Favorite Quotation: Where shall I begin, please your Majesty? he asked. Begin at the beginning, the king said, gravely, And go on till you come to the end: then stop. DAVID W.H. DALY 'Don't get depressed when you read in the press About world revolution and social unrest Try not to panic when you switch on the news And see crooked politicians and the unemployment queus lt's only life - it's really fine So don't you believe all you read in the headlines Live life see it through Carry on - it's all you can do You gotta live life for yourself Can't live life for anyone else You gotta live life, that's all you do Nobody gonna live their life for you So long Selly! -R.D. Davies 1The Kinksj -Lewis Carroll

ALEXANDER GAULT I could present you with an analogy about a sane person being admitted into an insane asylum, and thus present the life of Alexander Gault at Selwyn House, but a grad note should be pleasant, so I will give a more personal view of Sal and avoid school com- pletely. Alex is deeply attracted to politics and poetic discourse and in these fields, has developed a strong attachment to John Aimers. He always has a strong point of view which sometimes has been misinterpreted by some poor misguided souls, but never- theless he remains a leader. Alex is a very athletic young man and can often be found jogging up the mountain with his good friends David and Lucy, although he doesn't limit himself to this type of action. So baby, sit back, relax, have a beer and a smoke, and When the music's over, turn out the lights. -Jim Morrison JOHN PETER GUY At last! After nine years, it's time to leave Selwyn. Through years of waiting to be liberated I stood up to the challenge. Now that it's over, well, so much for liberation. l'll probably look back at all this in a couple of years and say those were some of the best times l had Lhopefully notj. Anyway, how could one sum up nine years of struggle other than saying GOODBYE ALREADY! This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill JONATHAN HERMAN Education is hanging around until you've caught on. Robert Frost If I caught on in grade two, then how come l hung around for ten years? Was it the food. Was it the obsession with the phrase, a DECADE at Selwyn House. Nay, says the wise man, stamina be the key to your survival. And survive I did. ' l know that in years to come when l pace the halls and assume the role of Selwyn's Chairman of the Board, only my fondest memories will echo from the classrooms, and remind me of the experiences that my schoolmasters and mistresses guided me througl in years past. For now, good luck and adieu.
