CHRISTOPHER DONALD My Selwyn Career: It is quite funny how much one misses the school. I've spent seven years of my life with some of the best people I'll probably ever meet in my life. To my friends, teachers and Selwyn House, I salute you! Au revoir mais pas Adieu! Many have the desire to win but few have the desire to prepare to win. -Olympic Coach We never lose. Sometimes, of course, the clock runs out while the other team still has more points, but we know that the game isn't really over, that if we kept playing we'd end up ahead. -Jerry Kramer GAVIN DRUMMOND Hello. Leadership. Two Burgers. Commando Raids. Knock, Knock. Prefs. Head Boy. Super! The meal. Balanced 28, on one. Warriors, come out to play. Three seconds aft. Surging in the shower. Ball Regent.

One thousand words gives a good picture. CHRIS EBERTS Chip has enjoyed, at least to a limited extent, his eleven years at Selwyn House. As resident fashion expert, he showed a tremendous aptitude for never looking the least bit pleased to be here. His showdowns with the teaching community, consequently, were numerous and eventful. His only solace being various lunches at the club and treks to the computer room, in turn, Chip managed to make it through yet another year in one piece. As a racquet sports wonder, Chip proved his athletic prowess on all courts. As an inventor and instigator of many nicknames and expressions, Chip provided a lot of distraction from the excitement of geography class. To be at Selwyn so long, Chip was heard to say, is certainly an experience.

'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

'Ti' 1-A' SEBASTIAN GAULT Say this City has Ten Million Souls Say this city has ten million souls, Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes: Yet there's no place for us, my dear, yet there's no place for us. Once we had a country and we thought it fair, Look in the atlas and you,ll find it there: We cannot go there now, my dear, old passports can't do that. In the village churchyard there grows an old yew, Every spring it blossoms anew: Old passports can't do that, my dear, old passports can't do that. The Consul banged the table and said: If you've got no passports you're officially dead g But we are still alive, my dear, but we are still alive. Went to a committee: they offered me a chair: Asked me politely to return next year: But where shall we go to-day, my dear, but where shall we go today? -W.H. Auden THEO HOMA I've really enjoyed my four years here: the students, teachers, the food, and all the great times. It all comes to an end now, and a new life awaits me. l would like to wish you all good luck in your future endeavours. In sincere appreciation of a great school and a great class of '82. Thank-you.

They Serve without Servility They have fought without Enmity. There is Nothing so Powerful, Nothing less Violent: There is Nothing so Quick, Nothing more patient.
