GERARD REUSING After an absence of half a year, during which he was busy starting revolutions in Mexico under the guise of receiving an education, Jerry turned up bright and shining in the IIB classroom during January, and immediately distinguished himself by turning his critical essay on time, turning his classmates green with envy. Jerry regaled us all at lunch with stories of his adventures with Pancho Villa, which made the Selwyn House dining room look civilized by comparison. Apart from wielding a racquet on the playing courts, Jerry was wise enough to limit his activities to getting back in tune with Selly. Good luck, old man! His friends PAUL SADER When I first arrived here at Selwyn House in grade seven, I was both excited and scared to a certain extent, I had been introduced into a new and different environment and was not sure whether or not I would feel comfortable in it. Luckily for me I was surrounded, as I very soon found out, by a truly great bunch of guys, all of whom would be willing to lend a helping hand at any time. However, as time passed I looked more and more forward to leaving Selwyn, probably because I grew tired of the same day-to-day routine. Now that that time has finally come I wish that I could stay just a little longer. l'll miss playing soccer, hockey, and even getting bashed in rugby tit may be a crazy sport, but it's fun!J. I'll also miss all the good times I've had, there have been a lot of them, but, most of all, I'll miss all of the guys that have made these past five years terrific. Thanks to all and good luck wherever you may end up, it has really been great!

N-S 'JST wr-'ar df.. GEOFFREY REFORD It seems hard to imagine the Fard , as Geoff is sometimes called dressed in a tiny, black woolen blazer trimmed in gold, but that's what he was wearing when he arrived in grade three. It took him until grade four, however, to establish his reputation when he launched the biggest spit-ball Miss Wiggins, and, indeed, Selwyn House, had ever seen. Eye witnesses disagree on its exact size, but it is generally agreed that it was smaller than a breadbox. Geoff's accomplishments and actions will never cease to amaze us. tTry: picking up the best looking girl at a party and forgetting what she looks like!! Geoff's vivid, half-crazed expression has made us realize that he must have known all along that there is something tno one quite knows what, especially Geoff! that made Sellie worth it. Thanks Slug - A Friend It's been such a long timefl think I should be going! Because time doesn't wait for mellt keeps on rollin'. Sail onfOn a distant highway!l've got to keep on chasing a dream! l've got to do it my way. Well I'm takin' my time!l'm just movin' onfYou'll forget about me after I've been gone!lt's been such a long time. - Tom Sholtz TIM REID Tim, known as Willy by some of his closer friends, has struggled with the Selwyn House School system since the wee days of grade four when he and his cheery face first arrived. Tim has developed over the years from a shy, timid youngster to a rebellious, inquisitive l. In the past couple of years Tim has been known for certain peculiarities ranging from: reading the Bible at lunch hour to partying with his best friend, Little Bobby. Super Stud, Tim will always be remembered for his participation in football, wrestling, rugby, suspensions, lateness, and often agressive debates with certain school represen- tatives. We cannot end this note without saying that Tim enjoyed school life more than anyone else, especially the ski trip to Smuggler's Notch Right Tim!! P.S. Tim, get a Grad date fast!! - His partners in crime My favorite quotations: Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay, they say he give them but two words 'More weight,' he says. And died. - Arthur Miller, The Crucible But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane in proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o'mice an' men gang aft a-gley an' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain for promis'd joy. - Robert Burns, Toa Mouse I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly, I can tell a hack from a handsawf' - William Shakespeare, Hamlet

JOHN SHEARSON During his stay at Selly, John - the man with the permatan - has made his mark on everything he has done. Unluckily, like his sly smile, that can't be erased. An avid patron of Pumphouse, Inc., and exclusive member of the tan- ning tub, Flytrap has proven himself to be a true fun-seeker extraordinaire. Johnny has transformed from a caterpillar into a real social butterfly, floating from scene to scene with admirable self-assurance Ulm not vain where's a mirrorll. He brightens any situation with his silly comments and inane quips, making his presence known tnotorious?J. Whether sauntering down to Oxford's for Nick'sl, scragging W.T., or invading A.H's, K.I-l's, or L.C's, the year has been interesting. John has proven true to our motto: You can't take it with you, so go for it now! Take care, Venus, and we'll meet halfway in Winnipeg. DAVID SKINNER Dave's role in school affairs this past year could be summed up by the fact that it was proposed that he should have his own secretary. Minor temper tan- trums aside, young Dave rode smoothly over the criticism and abuse which in- variably follows achievers such as he. To name off his various achievements, consequently, would be time consuming if not furthering invitations for abuse. Better to reveal the aspects of Dave Skinner which he will surely be better remembered for: his unbelievable tongue, his debut at the E.C.S. Fashion Show, his proneness to teacher lecturing, his silent but off-the-wall comments made at assembly, his insane method of dancing, his height complex. These are only a few of Dave's little-seen qualities, but they are the things which made Dave more than just your average head prefect. But then again, how average can a head prefect be? R.I,S., gone but not forgotten.
