x -'Y' vhs-N' 4 'uc WILLIAM COFFEY William, or Ben, as he is affectionately known by his friends, may have gone through his seven year career at Selwyn House unnoticed by the younger grades, he certainly did not go unrecognized by his own classmates. Perhaps he was not in the spotlight because of his peculiarities: unselfishness, thoughtfulness, and consideration. I-Ie did, however, make waves this year when he became interested in rugby. For a rookie , he did exceptionally well. Not only was he playing among bigger athletes, but he also started in a great number of games. An even greater accomplishment for Ben was his winning of the MVP award for cross- country skiing, after so many years of hard work. Anyways, Benge, good luck next year. I guess Selwyn's loss in Mount A's gain. We'll miss you. JOHN COWLING Sellie is very different from what I had expected in grade five when I came. The masters don't make you eat properly, I didn't get into a fight every recess, and l was never caned once for dropping my pencil. l'd like to thank all the people that made this possible incl. m. and p., S.'s O. 84 B., and esp. all my f.s Qthey know who they arell Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evilgffor thou art with meg thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me in the presence of them that trouble megfthou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. Surely thy loving kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my lifegland I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23 verses 4-6 Thanks Sellie.

'c-nv I GRANT DALY I've been at Selwyn House for eleven years. For nine of those years, I was known as Daly 2 thanks to my brother who was two years ahead of me. During my tenure at the school I have seen and experienced many changes, some for the better and some for the worse. I made some good friends and lost a few, probably for the better. l won't even begin to count the number of meals l've eaten in the infamous dining room. I was never the star of an athletic team or was I overwhelming in the area of academics but I still had a good time. There have been good and bad times, but when I look back in twenty years I think I'll remember the good times. l'm off to a new school but I'll come back and visit. SANTIAGO DECHURRUCA Santy is our representative from lands far away, and sometimes we think that his mind is still there. He has an outstanding ability to be physically present in class even though his thoughts are of another planet. The really outstanding aspect of this ability is to be able to answer questions in a perfectly rational and reasonable way so that there was many a teacher who never realized that Santy was operating purely by remote control. Beyond Mars he drifts, yet he pleases us with his warm presence. E.C.E. PHIL DELEONARDIS CPIPPOJ My six years at Selwyn House School have been a great experience. The teachers and their courses well enjoyable, the coaches and their sports as well. A special thanks goes to those students who stayed with me during the good and bad times: G. Cantlett, G. Groszman, T. Zyto, P. Sader, and of course Tim Reid. Pippo
