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.

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

JOHN HOUSEZ With the crowd instantly silenced by his commanding and unexpected rising, he uttered something so incredibly unutterable, so impossible, so unsolvable, that this mass of philosophy started heaving right and left and dying on the spot, blood bursting from their ears in an astounding death agony. - Steve Martin I'll never forget the time Charlie hit Billy who in turn hit Sally Sue. Hey, I could have had a V-8 freeze-ray stellar starch plate. Life is an understatement developed through sebaceous osterization. A few spasmodic wriggles, and the snake lay still. - Franklin W. Dixon So pointless, and yet, I can still see my ref1ection in the toaster. BRETT HOWARD When not electrocuting himself in the Physics lab, Brett was possessed with a mission to pass Calculus the always seemed to understand the material, except during the testsl. Also known for aggressive mark grubbing, teachers used to hide from Brett after correcting his work. Having spent his afternoons winning computers for the school, Brett is left with the dubious distinction of being the only human ever to complete Pirate Adventure . An avid wrestler, he is not a person to meet in a dark alley. Man of steel fmind of leadj, Brett will leave his marks in the school. Another case of the joys of l1B! A Friend fD.C.l.S.J JOSEPH KOVALIK Whenever there is a situation where a power struggle exists, there is never any right or wrong, one can either win and predominate, or one can lose and be defeated. In science, one can only be right or wrong, the idea of winning and losing does not exist. A very great scientist once became involved in a situation where these two ideas mixed. There was only one thing that he could say to defend himself: E pur si muove.
