SCOTT VINEBERG What a total experience! ln six years at school, my life has progressed to be very enjoyable. l've survived Cheap Trick ta first never-againj, Devo, Maag, the Carb, suspension, the two great triumvirates, many friends, and too much work. And for all those issues to which I objected at the school, I can only be grateful for the learning experience. lt has been only through those encounters that I have been able to learn to distinguish between right and wrong, and with the help of my good friends to control somewhat that impatient, crude, and tempermental part of my character. l've been able to see and recognize what really surrounds me in this worldg thus, l've formed my own conclusions about life. It's been a long time with some of the best guys: yet, it's too bad some of the best things have to end. As l leave the school, l'll say good-bye to the wooden door, to great teachers, to the curve, to satisfying athletic teams, and to a rewarding ex- perience, Good-bye, Selwyn. Remember us - if at all - not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed tnen. - rs. Eliot, THE HOLLOW MEN. ANDREW WOODALL Andrew seems to have had a fun time bouncing his way through Grade eleven. Between being a prefect, team member, and vocal cheerleader at a variety of events, Andy distinguished himself as a hallmark of school spirit. His undeniably original reactions to situations thrust upon him, such as academic results or social revelations, provided a lot of entertainment for many grade elevens and a number of teachers. He showed us all that he could be very classy with his ap- pearance in the E.C.S. Fashion Show, cutting down his image of being the most colourful, if not fashionable, tneinber of the graduating class. Priding himself on being on almost every invitation list ever tnade up, Andy's social schedule remained full throughout the year, though he might not remember it all fexcept the cakewalf, of courset. lf you ever find yourself forgetting him, just shut your eyes and picture thisg there goes le Singe' on his glider. Nice headband. Cute bow tie. Must be on his way to Lori's.

DEN IS STEVENS Life at Selwyn, no matter what you've been led to believe, is less than exciting. However, it does have its peculiarities. One of the oddities is Denis. Dan, as he is affectionately called, is the type of guy one has to admire for he makes few if any mistakes the could have even been head prefectll. In spite of this, he has been a constant source of entertainment throughout the year. His personal brand of levity has touched many classes fPhillis' and Loomis' come especially to mindl and many of the teachers will have a guarded spot in their hearts for him. But Dan does not limit himself to this type of activity. Besides being a responsible prefect, he has achieved all sorts of academic prizes, been literary editor for the yearbook, and is a talented essay writer ll heard he writes poems tooll. Athletically, Dan's greatness has yet to have been appreciated. However, we still like him, nevertheless. Best of Luck! - Bax et al. JONATHAN TORIANI Torro, the South African wildebeeste, has been with us for three years. His friendly smile dazzles opponents on the tennis courts, which is probably why he has won his share of games. In spite of the fact that he sometimes leaves a tennis racquet handle sticking out at dangerous angles for grandfatherly staff members to trip over, his profuse apologies in such cases have been more than enough for him to be forgiven. A good guy all around. Keep up the good work, Torro! E.C.E. TIMOTHY UTTING I always thought that when it came time to write my grad note I would have something terribly profound to say about my stay at Selwyn House. Un- fortunately, I am at a loss for a clever phrase or some original statement about my experiences. l would, however, like to thank those people I've met while at Selwyn for their participation in this comedy we call High school. I have benefited from the teachings of both teachers and coaches during my seven year metamorphosis. I am especially grateful for the friends that have come and gone and for those who have survived all the years, for these l give thanksg Comrade Bethune, Dr. Spock, Vimmer, Dan, Stentor, Chippy, Boogis Shoes, Sko, Lips, Boots, Fard, Pack, Slopie, Singe, Bob Rocks, The General, Slave, Cradle Robber, Sab, George, Spike, Curve, Bax, Bink, Homer, Ben, Forster, .l.C., Rain Maker, Hick, Stick, Studley, Yopec, Santi, Nikima, Berger Beast, Packman. 25

H' BILL ZACHARKIW Beware the Jabberwock. my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch. -Lewis Carrol, JABBERWOCKY Upon close inspection, l've noticed that my career at Selwyn has been one filled with a thousand self-made Jabberwocks, all of which I think have been defeated in one way or another. This accomplishment, however, cannot be fully placed on my own shoulders for I owe a great deal to many. My fellow C. Tanners and d.j.'s, hospital visitors, girlfriend and cubed ones all deserve a round of applause if not moreg they have been quite a bunch. I leave with a semi-justified gasp of relief and the memories of the many who helped me achieve my present state of serenity. TIMOTHY ZYTO Timothy, Qrarely is this form of his name usedl has been referred to through his days at S.H.S. as Vimmer, Zeetz, Teeeeemy, Z, The Fritz, and lbelieve it or notj Funnyface. Vimmer's illustrious career as a Selly boy began a way back during the initial years of Trouby's reign of power in the early 70's. Throughout the four introductory and innocent years as a Junior boy, little Zeetz rapped his tiny brain in an effort to reach within competitive range of the top established academics in the grade. Timmy continued to strive inevitably through the Middle School and early years of Senior school were quite uneventful and have been compared to the dramatics in Joyce's PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN. The Fritz finally got his act together and glued back the pieces in the form of an indestructable stronghold. In these last couple of years, Vimmer's academic and athletic prowess have molded together and his taste in females has improved tremendously. This is exemplified as one turns to look at his most recent acquisition. Ben and friends Special thanks to Garry.
