IAN BRYDON In keeping with Ian's unobtrusive character he decided not to be obtrusive enough even to write a grad note. JOHN CZAHARYN When those of us who know John think back to his remarkable Selly days, a lot of things come to mind. Like him unleashing his unbelievably vicious shot tthat inevitably scoredl from 30 yards out on some poor, helpless soccer goalie, or leading the patented John Czaharyn end to end rush up the ice on the hockey rink, or a patented John Czaharyn death check , or a game winning, im- possible angle kick in a tied rugby game, or, with a completely blank face, John staring at a Mr. Lumsden Math test, or that grin you always hate after he aced a Physics term, again, or maybe that semi-deranged look as he captained a Lucas team to victory. But no matter how far he goes or how successful he becomes, he'll never be more known than he is now for the unbelievably STUPID stories he's always entertaining his classmates with. - A friend MARC DELPLACE One of the colourful characters with whom I spent my half decade made the observation that My God I was growing. The realization was very true in every sense. We all had grown: He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. Edmund Burke 1729-1797

'S GARTH BRAY These were not the average contented cows. They were cows born for trouble. They were not cows who would stand by and let people call them bossy . They were cows who could not hang around all day lowing. They were cows who could be just as happy chewing someone else's cud as their own. These were renegade cows. Steve Martin A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: Their shallow draughts intoxicate the brain And drinking largely sobers us again. Alexander Pope i Thou hast great alliesg 'fYou can't remember where it was. Thy friends are exultations, agonies, Has this dream stopped? And love, and man's inconquerable mind. Jim Morrison William Wordsworth CHRISTIAN BROOMFIELD In Christian's great haste in getting where he wants to go and meeting the people he wants to meet, writing a grad seems to have slipped his mind. PAUL BROOMFIELD Since Grade One, Paul has learned to formulate his own ideas about lifeg some of his most famous conclusions are the following: If at first you don't succeed - quit. lf you confess, half is forgiven If you deny it, all is forgiven Selwyn House Dream - to go to Quebec City, tamper with computers and change our matric results. lt's good to know that when you're at the bottom, life can only get better. Paul has spent eleven long years at Selwyn House, and has gained enough experience to know not to stay at the same school for eleven years. And now, after all the hours of hard work and pain, says Paul, comes Miller Time!

IAN DOWNEY Do not walk behind me, for I may not be able to lead youg Do not walk in front, because I may not be able to follow, But walk beside me, and I will be your friend and when the Baggies are empty, we can always get high on life. It's not such a bad thing to do with five years - I had to SWEAT to be such a slug. Farewell, bonny prince ' ROBERT o1ALLoREro Long days of waiting for the end. Now it's here, and I'm not disappointed: You're walking down a country road. It is a quiet afternoon. You look up and far, far down the road you' see someone walking toward you. You are surprised to have noticed someone so far away. But you keep walking, expecting nothing more than a friendly nod as you pass - Steve Martin l've met many yaps in my time. STEPHEN I-IASKO Stephen is the most under-rated person in our grade. Stowedaway under that boyish exterior are great talents. We're not exactly sure what they are yet, but we're still looking. Stephen's never really stood out in anything particular, but has that peculiar aura of constant effort and perseverance. Wherever life takes Stephen, we know he will succeed - we don't know why, but he will. - R.G. I understand HOW: I do not understand Why. - George Orwell My nine year stay at Selwyn House was somewhat enjoyable, but now it is time, to say good-bye and good luck to my fellow graduates.
