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. Sometime this llth year l will see my 2000th day and 1-100th class, ending an era which has produced the Union of the Class of 1983. We will always remember and reflect its lifeg the fun, crises, profs, term papers, Stratford, Ottawa, oranges, Macbeth I graduate with reverence and satisfaction, an antientropic microbe in an unencompassible, omni coin- fluencing entropic universe. Thanks to fellow-workers, family, and the staff, whose effort and quality I much respect. 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. And play hockey till our lungs collapse. That's it chao! 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!

During Martin's 1,987 days at Selwyn, he has always managed to fight his way to the top, with the aid of a quick tongue and sharp wit. His often aggressive and demanding personality has enabled him to take charge of any situation and intimidate any opponent lCVCn some Biology teachersl. Academically, Martin has excelled in Computer Science, often being seen counselling his teacher. Memories: Fab - For, Knowlton, Le Club, Wasterines, and bumper tag in the Moltkc - mobile. Best wishes in your future endeavours. Christian Robertson Vytas' heartwarming smile and handsone Lithuanian disposition has often overshadowed his ac- claim as a dedicated and successful arts bunny. 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. Meet you in the Alps! -un ami ln my five years at Selwyn House I had some good times and some not so good. I would like to thank the teachers who were patient and helped me. I will always remember my good friends: Bruce, Sieji, Geoff, Steve and Mike. I wish you all happiness in the future. Yeah! 'U .lohn has steadily improved in academics since landing in SHS in grade 7. His performance in this field was markedly affected lin a good wayi hy his intermittent love life. Known to make mountains from mole hills, John is an aggressive mark grubber. His incredible laugh tmeasured at 8.5 on the Richter scalej was capable of rendering his friends deaf. Wishing JAR success, not luck, in life. His friends.

f' -r rv 17 fbi fu! CHRISTIAN ROBERTSON Q an .L STEPHEN PENNER 139'-sv A . ':-1.XsTEN'- S f f t ' - t Rttmotircd as thirty, Christian's ten years at SHS have proven to be ratltcr eventful, be it on the field, in thc halls, or the consuming whirlpool of social activities. Although highly devoted to his homework, he somehow managed to take part in a battery of social engagements. Tlte doer of many a dangerous deed, he often amalcd his friends with his uncanny ability to injure hitnself. Often seen att Plttncx all gooped-up, his trend setting style and the occasional rendelvous with the Fab-four, will always he remembered. D.H. l have DOI much to say tfunny for a guy who couldn't shut his mouth! on this tlte occasion of my grad note. l've a lot to thank S.H.S. for. This school made me literate, for example. Athletics ltave taught me how to play sports as a team, and how to react calmly to situations on the field of combat. Through, at my years of Selwyn, l have found myself thinking back to my first days at school thinking about how I was going to survive the torture of the Selwyn image. Somehow l managed tthough l don't know I did ith to survive, and as l leave Selwyn l can say that Selwyn has given me something that will last my entire life, corny as it may sound, Selwyn gives each student a sense of values, so that when l graduate from Selly l will be able to go down the road with a tnap in my hand. THANKS After my five year stay at Selly, l find it difficult to believe that I am finally leaving. Leaving, however, means change and change means new challenges and experiences. Thus, instead of bidding you adieu, l say aurevoir and wish you and my fellow grads all the best for the future. l leave Selly with a heavy heart, but also with the knowledge that it has given me all it has to offer. Bien que je pars, je me souviens. Thank you alll The lived moment of Life is the only reality. The past is finished, the future not yet. Past follows into present and both shape the future. Now it's time to LIVE some more, move on to CEGEP, carry the good times, and forget the bad. Any brain can hide -- few can stand. Any kid can fly -- few can land. Any gang can scatter -- few catt form. Any kid can chatter -- few can inform. Pete Town- shend that's it! My seven years at Selwyn House have been quite an experience. l'd like to thank all my friends and classmates who made my Selwyn years psychic! A special Thanks to the Fab Four and fellow party commandos. lt's a wonderful time to be alive. Wonderful people everywhere. The way they comb their hair makes me want to say it's a wonderful place!
