IAN AITKEN Ian fthe prefj Aitken has greatly enjoyed his stay at Selwyn House, and has always tried his best to heighten school spirit. Unfortunately, however, he never realized how much school was part of his life until it was no longer. For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weatherg every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously. George Gissing GEORGE ASTRAKIANAKIS I consider myself quite lucky writing this grad note due to the hates I purge here at Selwyn. There are a few students who have been literally left out in the cold this year. Although I have been spared, the untimely end of Trotsky leads me to think that Big A will get me even after I have gone. I shall use this small space left to pay tribute to two friends. On a quiet and reserved fellow student and the other a sensitive, caring outsider. A toast to you two who have made this difficult year bearable. To J.P. and D.O. thanks, and thanks also to J.P.B., A.P., S.P., C.G. and D.C.I.S. Goodbye! REED BALLON Here are 93 words which describe What first comes to mind when you hear my name.

iii JEAN-PAUL BARTOLINI Finally after four years at Selwyn House, l am glad to be leaving. Not that I dislike the school, for I love it very much, it's just that I am not too crazy about some of the people who run it. Anyhow, S.H.S. has changed my life con- siderably. I met many influential friends, learned how to write critical essays and acquired some of the worst, atrocious, putrid table manners conceivable. You should have seen the mess at our table everyday. This was due to the system created by A.P. S.P., L.R., P.B., H.B., R.B., K.S., and myself, which is a method of consuming massive quantities of food using as many different parts of the body as possible. Thanks to G.A. for being there and to A.P. and S.P. for being my stepping stones into the world of music. My favorite sayings: I've been there and back, so it doesn't really matter anymore. I'm afraid he's been shot. Go straight to hell and don't turn back. I-IIRSH BERNSTEIN Amb.: To become Prime Minister. Prob. Des.: Cleaning out the P.M.'s toilets and collecting his garbage. Passing Thought: Please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd - Supertramp What can I say about my stay at Selwyn I-louse. Three long, hard years of toil. That's it. Now I'm packing it up and splitting for good. Through all the work Through all the play The Bagel Man would like to say That he's enjoyed his Selwyn House stay. I-Ie'd like to remind Those who are left behind That the most important thing is to have a good time. SHANE BRADY After 8 years stay at Selwyn House, I leave the school with a great amount of fond memories. I thank my fellow classmates and teachers for making this ex- perience such an enjoyable and fulfilling one. Destiny is not a matter Of change, it is a matter Of choice, it is not a thing to be wanted for, It is a thing to be Achieved. - William Jennings Bryan
