Whether pummeling a heap of the deep in the Alps, or conquering the headwall at Tuckerman's Ravine, Vee is notorious for making everything look easier than it really is. His diversified and plentiful talents have shown through in all facets of life: including on the stage, playing Macbeth, as Representative of the Flat Earth Society, originator of the first ever Selly Film Festival, and in late night carousing on Crescent Street. From Stratford to Carleton to the dim halls of S.H.S., Vytas' slaphappy cheer has offered a refreshing break in the sometime monotony of school life. We will always remember him for his warmth and consideration. Vee for all you do, this one's for you.

JON ELKIN Some people reading this will say that Jon was too lazy to write his own Grad note. Well they'd be wrong. Jon, was spending his time with important things like tuning up his championship goalie skills: or spending his time with volumptuous cegep co-eds. But, we can't overlook his intelligence. Jon can be referred to as the Holden Caulfied of SHS, with English Comp. being his strongest subject. All these traits make Jon a colourful character. Jon, however, is a quiet guy, who keeps things to himself and consequently people get the wrong idea about Jon. Well, Jon may not always be all of the great stuff above, for he has his faults, but, his character makes up for it in the long run.

Despite his need to con- tinually expand upon his already massive storage of scientific data, David always managed to conjure an incredibly festive stupendous Shangrila. We are thankful that such a fab spirit was brought down to earth to make mankind happy. His somewhat nebular form of wit seemed to catch the girls' fancies which left his comrades caught by their short ones. We love you. A friend.

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and keeps my mind from wandering where it will go -Beatles I've waited eleven years for this and I've got nothing to say. Just like to thank all my friends for a crazy time in high school, especially Big Alb, Brucester, Miguel, Stevester, and Moose. Keep in touch so we can all go to the barn someday.

It took his classmates nine years to realize Glen's potential for fame, but we, now enlightened, leave stupefied by the savoirrfaire in his eloquence, his charisma, and his zest for the good life. With a flair for fashion, Glen has become a trendsetter in his own time, with his ATARI and his brown attache case. Resident at the Selly hall of Fame, Glen is ready for the world - a well deserved tribute - in the words of J.Fe Goodhall, We don't hose around!
