As I sit down to write this message for the yearbook, the front office is
being torn apart to install a new air handling unit. The theme of
disruption readily comes to mind. One need only reflect back to the
start of this term to the onslaught of the "ice storm" of the century.

Despite the disruption of the ice storm, the school coped very well. The
devastation of many trees on the campus will, no doubt, become more
noticeable as Spring comes. School Closing, normally under a canopy
of leaves, may be set more in the sun (I hope!).

Another major event in the life of the School was the Canadian
Education Standards Institute (C. E.S.I.) report. There were many
suggestions and recommendations emanating from this report. In
particular, there were some very significant comments about our
student body which I found to be most important. "Ashbury is a
school with . . . , teachers who are dedicated to the school and students
who are proud of their school ..." and "... students are polite and
articulate young men and women". Of course, there were many other
complimentary comments, including "The environment of Ashbury is
a stimulating and caring one where the staff works hard to ensure
students are challenged to attain excellence in a wide variety of
programs ..." I believe that this challenge to excellence in a caring
environment is what Ashbury is all about. We are successful because
our students do that, day in day out, in a whole host of activities.

This yearbook is a record of your year at Ashbury, for graduates of the
Class of 1998, a most significant year. You will take from Ashbury memories which will endure — mostly good memories, I hope,
centred on the friends you had at Ashbury and the events with which you were involved. The range of events, athletic, academic and
otherwise is just amazing. So, too, is the talent of our students.

Your experience at Ashbury will, of course, be very much related to what you personally have put into the school, in the classroom,
on the sports field, in the common room, and in the various events of the year. Each School Assembly, as I look out on a sea of faces,
I am always impressed by the enormous pool of potential and talent which I see. In the many highlights of this year, ranging from the
tragic death of Princess Diana, to the ice storm, to your graduation, it is my hope that your 1997/98 year or your 1998 graduation year
will be most notable for strong personal achievements and a happy and successful school year. In particular, I send best wishes to all
our graduates for success at university and in life.

Assistant Headmaster

"Another year, another Ashburian." This is a deceptively simple way to look at
the publication of another in a very long line of Ashbury yearbooks. The
statement ignores the very real importance of the Ashburian as a part of the
history and tradition of the school. The Ashburian is a vital element of the school
history - a record of the students themselves in a particular year. For each
student, who may end up with a collection of Ashburians, or maybe just a single
one, each yearbook is in some way of record of your time at the school. Certainly
not "another Ashburian", but your Ashburian.

The arrival of the Ashburian early in the new school year is a remarkable event.
"Ashburian day" has to be the quietest day of the school year, with everyone
busy checking out the pictures, the literature, the art & the write-ups. Later
comes the important part of getting your yearbook signed, maybe with some
special dedications.

At this point the Ashburian really does become a personal history of your
school year. It's something for you to keep, to look at later on and to remember
with. But the yearbook is something more. Friends will use their Ashburian to
remember you by. As well, the school will have a yearly record of you and the
contribution that you have made. In that way the Ashburian makes you a part
of the history of the school. And in that sense, you never really leave Ashbury
at all.

I am an Outsider

I am an outsider.

No feelings do I have.

I am an angel in hell.

No content do 1 feel.

I am death among the living.

No friends do I share.

I am the first snowflake.

No praise do I obtain.

I am ripple in the water.

No appreciation do I receive.

I am an outsider.

I lament the norm

Monika Merchea

CONCRETE

It's only words.

Seen through your eyes,

Tasted sweetly on your lips

Echoing and Resounding in your ears.

The roar of a Tiger.

A word, on a page,

in a book.

Amongst books.

A speech at a conference.

Signs on a street.

The meaning is lost,

Their value is gone.

Like wood in a raging fire.

Dew drops of communication

Taken by the sun

Never to be the same,

We have mangled Words

into hollow caverns.

Once precious moments,

Like everything else.

In this day and age.

Have become concrete

Obsolete.

Dear Death

Heaven cries on my soul

The light weeps

Trie dark laughs

My world is destroyed

The grass grows longer
The memories are weaker
The glorious lamp of heaven
Shines down

Streaming tears that never stop

Fall down my cheek

Sting my heart

I do not smile anymore

My spirit rests
Among the dead
Buried with him
My heart is lost

I see his reflection
In the light
My life written
In sand

My heart is nothing
But a broken flower
That dances in the wind
On his grave

- Stephen Norton

The rush hour traffic was starting to reach this
part ot town by now. and even after the fii
days you could tell when they would all ^ome. It
was almost as if the brighter it was. the more that
came, but I guess that doesn't really apply now,
with the days getting SO steadily darker. I can't say
I enjoy doing this. I don't know about Jamie - I've
never asked. Jamie and I have always disagreed
over just about anything, since the day we met
here on the street, doing what we were doing
now. I guess the only thing we really agreed on
was that this kind of work really is boring hell.
After awhile, I had almost given up on this whole
idea, but it's still work, and we all know how hard
it is to find work worth doing these days. I was
just going to add that life was really not that
exciting after all - it really is rather bland and
nothing like they make it to be - but then I
remembered what they must think of me.

an excerpt from •'The Outsider" by Young Fan

Discharged

The sun reflects off of his shining bald head
as he listens. Listens to the silence and to
the ocassional roar of a passing car. The
rhythmic clicking of his walking stick and
the endless path of bird seed leaking from
his bulging bag distinguishes him as he
plods down the street. Behind those deep
black shades, flutter his eye lids. Clean-
shaven his prune like skin is exposed. A
warm smile greets you but within rest
revolting baked bean teeth-
Swaying like a sea ot in the ocean breeze,
his frail body shivers. Five bony fingers
clench his exhausted canteen This
shrinking mass of skin and bones, hunched
over in the grass Is resting. Feeding his
only companion th birds. Still, with his
bags and rags, wearing his U.S. dog tags.

Interhouse
Events

The First Term interhouse events were
filled with excitement and anticipation. As
well, the New House Airbands and a
teacher cake auction for the grad commit-
tee were held. Memorable moments in-
clude the judging at the m&m toss and
many of Woollcombe's many resounding
victories. At the end of the term, Wooll-
combe leads, followed closely by New
House, Alexander and Connaught. The
stage is set for an exciting Winter Term
in interhouse competition.

The Love of (

"Myth is the oblique image of an

unwanted truth reverberating

through time." T.W. This years

performance was based on the

timeless greek myth of Philomele

and Procne, using the script of "The

Love of the Nightingale" by Timberlake Wertenbaker. The dedicated cast and

crew first began rehearsals in mid October, and began full rehearsals just after

Christmas break. The issues were strong and public response varied. During the

Marchbreak we visited Germany, performing three times in Heidleberg and once ]

in Munich. The run in Ottawa, though panged with controversy over the I

'censorship', went extraordinarily well. The emotionally mature play tried both

actors and audience with their own understanding of morality.

Many memories were made: two hour naps before performance in a stuffy "
student lounge, German Disc-O-Very, rowdy Italian men, Munich subway

To Mr. Simpson we say thanks.

Every curtain call we said thanks,but still it isn't enough. The effect you
had on us will last forever, and so will our gratitude. You taught us
strength, courage, respect, and integrity. You showed us the value of
hard work and dedication, and instilled in all of us a great sense of self-
confidence. Over the year you have been our teacher, our father, our
harshest critic, our mentor, our brother, and our friend. You have been,
and still are our inspiration. (Cast & Crew of Nightingale, 1998)

The 1997-1998 Season of the
Ashbury Music Department was,
as usual, a great success. An
unfortunate start with the contro-
versial planned trip to South
Africa, but talent and energy swept
through all groups nonetheless. In
April, members of the choir went
on a rockin' trip to Toronto. "Can
we use your stere-oh!", NSYNC at
EC, Rent, Roy Thomson Hall, the
new MEC. A fantastic Fall Concert,
Carol Service at MacKay United
Church, and out with an excep-
tional Spring Concert left all in
high spirits. To all those continuing
next year, practice starts at 8:00 not
8:30!

Tine year had various musical
highlights. Bryan, Stephanie, and
Jonathan in West Side Story; Last
Minute's popularity in assemblies;
Chris winning the Trumpet Con-
certo Contest; Sarah winning Silver
and the Brass Ensemble's Bronze at
Kiwanis; and many others, a mere
cross section of the vastly talented
students. This year marks the
passing of a musical group who
passed through from Grade 7 with
Mr. Merritt and Mr. MacLean, into
Grade 9 with Mr. Tanod and gather-
ing steam along the way. On our
way out now, we wish good luck
and best wishes to all continuing and
new participants in the Ashbury
Music Department in years to come.
Just remember, it's not how you
play, it's how loud you play! (Neil)

Japan Trip

During the March Break, 12 Ashburians ac-
companied by Miss Lewicki and Mr. Mont-
gomery visited the land of The Rising Sun.
The trip was part of the exchange program
with Asago Junior High School and gave the
group the opportunity to spend two weeks
in Asago, Hiroshima, and Kyoto. Asago is a
picturesque little townof 7,000 people, about
2 hours from Osaka and Kyoto. The genuine
friendliness and warm hospitality of our
homestays, and indeed all at Asago Junior
High School, put us quickly at ease. A busy-
daily schedule included visits to Jinsho
Temple, Dajyogi Temple, as well as partak-
ing in traditional Japanese activities such as
Ikebana and the elaborate Tea ceremony.
Next, a few days in Hiroshima were an op-
portunity to enjoy the Japanese experience in
a large city (1.5 million inhabitants). How-
ever, the visit to the Peace Museum and
Monument was a sober reminder of the hor-
ror of the war. The last two days were spent
in beautiful Kyoto, the capital of medieval
Japan, and home to the famous Nijyo castle.
The group was immersed in the pleasures of
experimenting with Japanese cuisine, absorb-
ing aspects of local customs and culture, and
simply enjoying the beauty of nature and our
colourful surroundings. A truly memorable
and highly recommended experience.

Mexico

This year Ashbury College gave fifteen of its stu-
dents an experience of a lifetime by offering the
exchange program to Mexico City. I think I speak
on behalf of all of us when I say that it was "da
bomb!" Not onlv did we visit the beautiful sites,
Mexico City had to offer such as the Pyramids of
Teotihuacah, the Floating Gardens of Xochimiko,
the Museum of Arthogeology and of course the
clubs. But we attended the beautiful Westminister
School during our stay just as the Mexican stu-
dents had done during their time in Canada. At
the school, although we attended "some" of the
classes, we mainly lounged around most of the
time with the students of the school and came to
the realization that we are not all that different in
our views. I believe the three things that we en-
joyed most during our stay were all the life long
friends we made, the warm hospitality and gener-
osity of our host families and of course our week-
end in ACAPULCO! That was the most memo-
rable of all: the sun, the beach, the clubs, Planet
Hollywood, Hard rock Cafe, the latino music, the
idea of lazing around in a hammock while sipping
on a strawberry daiquiri, etc. Now we all, who
werepart of the exchange, have easily 200 reasons
to go back. On behalf of all of us ( Farah, Chris, Erin,
Aisha, Greg, Kathy, Sean, AH, Andrew, Maryam,
Kalessy, Amid, Ben and Mansi) I would like to
give art enormous thank vou to Mrs. Edwards
a.k.a. "Mother Edwards" for her to valiant time
and effort put forth in this exchange. 1 would also
like to thank Mr. Stojanovic and Mr. Napier. We
love 'ya all as we love Mexico. (Mansi Kothari)

International Day

International Day was a huge success. It
consisted of a mosaic of countries, cultures
and people. On February 26, 1998 the stu-
dent body was awe stricken by the many
dazzling performances of internationalism.
The day was divided into two sections, a
show and food booths; 80 students were
involved. The show contained various per-
formances such as dances, music, plays, a
fashion show and a Black History presenta-
tion. There were 16 different countries which
put on a delectable symphony for the senses
for all to enjoy. (Monika Merchea)

Junior Girls Basketball had a spectacular sea-

I'm on? With only one returning player (thanks
a lot Farah) we made it to the playoffs but
unfortunately lost in the semi-finals. At the
beginning of the season, most of us were
simply acquaintances, but by playoff time we
played as the best of friends, 1-2-3 BUTCH!
Thanks to Miss Duggan and Miss Gomme for
taking time out of their 'busy' schedules to
help us improve our basketball skills, Rosie's
cool t-shirts, and Powerbars ® for Animal.
Good luck to the graduating players, Rosie
Zollinger and Farah Merani, and wishing the
best to all returning and new players next
year. Don't forget to UNLEASH THE BEAST!
See ya! (Farah Merani)

hi the beginning, there was "Mr. Plow" Chad Hallett and Robin "four
touchdowns in one game" Wilkinson and a chance for the coveted (

Now there are some new names, a new year, and
a brand-new inspiration . . .

Some believed that we had become nothing Some believed that v, e would
never be anything again Some believed that we would not survive the
"onslaughts* from the other teams. THEY WERE DEAD WRONG!

Ashburv football '98 was absolute DYNAMITE! We faced other teams as
the underdogs and i ame out on top . . over the top, if you will. Constant
practicing made us intowell tuned machines It wasasifourpracticesiwis/ite
some -erf of switch thai would eo off to turn us into man-imals. Many thought
that because we bad lost Mr Plow and Wilkinson from the year before, that
we would be mere puppies in a destruction site, however, thej tailed to
think about the veterans and the "up and coming" young stallions. They
tailed to think about the cagev veterans "White Lightning ' Kevin Sullivan
and "Brown Thunder" John Kambites (Kambeezeez), Alex MANsiouhs,
Pat/Fat Tremblay, Jamie Clarke, Vijay "18" - GUNS" Pun, RUDY (Allan
Thomas), and Matt "OW my shoulders" Collette.

The veterans led the pack of mean-dog-nasty wolves into the fields.
Ashburv foughl hard with the intension to kick another #@%@S into the
other team and most of the time that's what we did. We played by Bangkok
Rules. Although we were the smallest teams in the league, we had the
biggest hearts and the most talented rookie stallions. At the top of the rookie
list was Jeremy Ditz (the man who would always get PLAYing time), Dan
Skananny (you know who you are), and the new quarterback sensation on
the team'(also a rookie), Tait Simpson.

The season was tremendous for the Ashbury football team. With a season
of 5 wins and 1 loss and the #1 ranking in our league, we were defeated in
the semi-finals and missed our chance to capture the City Championship
Title (we blame it on the public school strike). The glory, however .was still
ours. We were the underdog team that had beaten all the odds ... CRY OUT!!

Ashbury football '98 would like to thank all of the coaches for putting up
with our wild locker-room shenanigans, and for training us to be all that we
could be. All the Vets will forever miss the good ol' times. Good luck next
year boys, and see you in the Sauna (you know what we are talking about
Ditz)! (Vijay Puri)

Jr. & Sr. Football

Our goal at the beginning of the season was to
have fun, make the playoffs, and win the city
championships.

Our first game was a hard-fought 0-0 tie with
South Carleton. We then lost our second game
to St. Matt's, but bounced back with a win
against St. Peter's. We played St. Peter's again a
few davs later and came up short, but recovered
with a 24-7 confidence builder against Philemon
Wright. It may have built a Tittle too much
confidence, because we lost to Gloucester in our
final regular season game. Our season ended
with a 2-3-1 record and a playoff berth.

Our season seemed in jeopardy when the
teacher's strike occurred. But thanks to our
coaches driving us onward in the snow, sleet
and rain, we were ready when the season re-
sumed. Playing at the Minto Field, we beat 6-0
Confederation 21-14. We squeezedout a victory
the following week with a soccer-like score of 3-
1 against St. Matt's. We were now in the city
championships. On a cold, early morning, we
started our game against Gloucester well We
held them to one touchdown until the fourth
quarter but we couldn't pull it off. Although we
would rather have won, we proved many people
wrong by reaching the finals.

We would like to thank Coach Stableford, Keyes,
Gillin, Schneider, and L. Murphy forpushing us
to success. Thanks also go to Mr. Holliday for
providing us with game films. We would also
like to thank the fans for their support, and
finally the players for such an outstanding sea-
son. Now, Dummy Up! (Aaron Barth and Rich-
ard Hollidav

Cross Country Running

The X-country running team ran away
with the season and the school's best
athletes (not to mention the school's
best coach). We competed first in the
OBE race. Every member of our largest
team to date qualified for the National
Capital Race. At that meet, two of our
members, Zein Odeh and Hilary Burn,
qualified for OFSAA. Hilary won the
National Capital Race. The OFSAA
meet was the highlight of the season.
Hilary's fantastic performance in this
elite race ameliorates Ashbury's stellar
accomplishments in X-country running
by winning a third place. We would
also like to thank our terrific coach Dr.
Brodsky for all of her hard work. We
would also like to wish the best of luck
to our graduating member, Hilary, who
created the team and is a quintessential
example of hard work, determination,
and success. Good luck to next year's
team! (Ben Barry)

juniors that made my final year an enjoy-
able and successful one. Joe "it's my
gloves!" Gallo, Ryan "did you play any
games" Semple, Mike "digger" Peterman,
Blake "CP" Burns, Josef "am I on the team"
Malonzo, Chris "GROW" Montenegrino,
Alex "you're not part of the joke" Boulos,
Kartwheel, Alykhan(t), Naddi "the four

"Pilsbury" Fortier, Omar "someone pay
attention to me" Sheikh, and last but not
least, Raj "the heart/star of the team"
Ruparelia, I don't think they saw your
hidden talent for the game, maybe next
year! Huge thanks to coaches D.J. Dunc-
the-funk and Fuzzy. They helped make the
year more exciting with their made up on
the spot drills. They worked because we
made it to the semi-finals against St. Pats.
The result doesn't matter, it's the fact that
we got there that's important (we lost 3-2).
As the season went on it got colder and
then the strike began postponing our sea-
son a few weeks. Eventually the semi-
finals were played in a foot of snow and
cold weather. Congratulations to all the
juniors and thanks to Rev. Fulton (sorry
about the dinner) and everyone who helped
us. (Jon Petridis)

Sr. Boys' Soccer

Another solid season is finally behind the
players of Ashbury's Sr. Soccer team. 1997
was a year of great heart and tremendous
progress by everyone. As I look back on it,
I can't say the team ever stopped trying or
was ever out of contention. On the field,
we were one of the strongest teams ever,
but a few unlucky breaks just hurt our
result in the end. The team strengthened
by the new acquisition of Dave Carr-Har-
ris and led by Victor's non-stop effort on
offense and Chris' solid defense helped
propel us to a new level of playing success.
I can't begin to express the thanks that
Mark Hern deserves after another season
of loyal support and great coaching. Most
of our achievements were the result of his
unending determination to get the most
out of us. With his help, we were ready to
play every game and easily survived the
two weeks that our season was postponed
because of the strike.

Overall, the team had another strong finish
during the regular season, ending it in
second place. Unfortunately, we were
knocked from the playoffs in the semi's
after the OBE's disorganization saw sev-
eral players miss the last game. We also
played well at the Independent School's
Tournament in Montreal, finishing fifth
after a great shootout and a couple of very
close games. I'll never forget the Mexican
Connection, Red Guard, Pro-Star, Spunky
Hip-Hop, Penetrator, that inspirational
tape, super sexe, the bananas, Shebupu,
that Alumni game, and that night in
Montreal when Gus disappeared. Special
thanks to Mr. Gray, Duncan, Seb, E.C., J.V-
P, C.L., R.S., and everyone else who showed
up and supported us. Victor and I wish the
best to all players, and good luck for next
season! (Dan Thomson)

Sr. Boys' Basketball f*

The Sr. basketball team had a phenomenal finish to an otherwise mediocre season. Well
maybe not phenomenal but still decent nonetheless. Our team was always competitive,
never losing to anyone by more then 10 points and we even beat some excellent teams as
well. Definitely the highlight was the team beating #3 ranked Louis Riel for the title of AA
city champs. Basking in the glory of our greatness we ended up getting an early march break
vacation and headed to Peterborough to play in the OFSAA AA tournament, where we
finished 10th out of 16 teams (give or take a couple spots). Ok . . . time for the cliche! I'd like
to thank the coaches Mr. Sparks, Mr. Holman, and Hugh Bell for the time they spent with
us trying to make us a better team. Thanks to the graduating players Baxter and Bethune for
their service and dedication to the team year after year. Well that's about it, unfortunately
there still seem to be a few questions that are still keeping me sleepless. For instance, I still

Jr. Boys' Basketball

The Junior Boys' Basketball team had one of its best seasons
in recent year's. The team was 9-0 in tournaments, winning
both the Ashbury College and Colonel By Invitational tour-
naments. We beat St. Matthew's for the first time during the
Colonel By Tournament. The regular season (9-4) was capped
off with a loss in the Ottawa Board Final, so we came second
in the league. We won more than 5 games by 20 points or
more each, and were 1-1 in the playoffs. Much luck to Mr.
Gray and next year's team. Thanks to all the fans that came
out to our games and supported us. Respect to "Mr. Funny"
for attempting THE DUNK! (Eric Johnson)

Coming off a 1-9 season the previous year, the
Senior Girls Volleyball Team did not know what to
expect this season. After a home defeat at the hands
of perennial powerhouse Samuel Genest the team
made fine progress posting 3-0 wins over arch rivals
Glebe, Lisgar and Immaculata as well as solid
postings over Brookfield and Canterbury. Only
Nepean and Sammy G stood in our way as Ashbury
finished third in Tier 1 . Playoffs saw us defeat Lisgar
3-0 in the quarters and then an agonizing 3-2 loss to
Nepean, a team that had lost only one set up to that
point in league play. Later that week we defeated
Cairine Wilson in the NCSSAA championship 10-
15, 15-8, 13-15, 15-2, 16-14 in front of a packed house
at Carleton University. Everyone who was there
will remember game 5, 14-12!

The team travelled to the OFSA A championships in
Chatham where we put a scare into the home team
and number one seed Chatham-Kent by losing 15-8
16-14, the narrowest margin of victory the eventual
gold medallist would have all championships. Al-
though we did not pick up any hardware it was a
great end to a seaseon full of memories . . . Kelly's

saurs, the "middles", Dirty Dancing with Patrick

This year the junior girls' volleyball team
had a great season with a lot of fun and a
little work (the four corner drill). We won
the majority of our games.
Although the team started as a fairly inex-
perienced one, we soon developed the
skills required to work well together. We
made some bad calls (it's out, it's out . .
oops), but always played enthusiastically
even during tough matches.
Finally, we owe a great thanks to netted
mechanism, Tamagotchi, strange smells,
and, of course, our excellent, upbeat
coaches Mrs. Holman and Ms. Gomme.
Good luck to next year's team. (Kalessy
Lasserre)

Hockey

In the words of the immortal Dr.
John "Hosekneeack" Connelly,
"Get tough in the corners and put
the puck in the net. " Great advice
from a great Canadian, however,
this year's hockey squad didn't
listen to the Doctor. Things we
did do, incidently, included going
to Toronto and paying $5 for a
jigger of O.J., and watching a
convincing 11-2 win over 2nd
place Glebe in the final game of
the year. We were pleased with
our performance in this final
game and we decided to verbalize
our excitement with statements
like "Look at the scoreboard Glebe
chumps!" They responded with
short responses accompanied by
"Good work Ashbury, we'll see
you at the playoffs ... Oh right,
we won't - you finished last in
your division." Even though our
results were less than stellar,
every player still managed to have
fun in our games and three
practices. The contact tournament
in Toronto was an added bonus.
Perhaps we would have faired
better if we had fewer team
meetings in the hotel sauna. Those
meetings, however, were Mr.
Keyes' and Mr. Schneider's
fondest memories of the trip.
Thanks to these two fine coaches
for their guidance and sense of
humour throughout the season.
It was greatly appreciated. Good
luck to the team next year and all
graduating players. HIO!

The Ashbury Curling team had its
most successful year in recent memory,
obviously due to the presence of
numerous veterans (people who had
already curled before the season
started) and to the hours and hours of
unwaveringly intense training, both
on and off the ice.

Good fortune was with us this season.
Not only did we avoid any personnel
losses due to injury, but, by the end of
the season, our record was rather
impressive: we had captured three
victories, all hard fought battles (well,
two of them were by default, but
nevertheless) and had minimized the
number of incidents of inter and intra-
team violence.

Although mocked on the last day of
the regular season by other teams
saying: "So, are we going to see you in
the playoffs?", the team managed to
maintain its composure and uphold it
reputation of good sportsmanship.
The brightest point of the season would
be, without question ... the end-of-
year pizza party. But in a close second
place, during one of our last games, for
the first time in modern history, we
had tworeal fans, Neil R. and Chris K.,
came out to cheer us on. They too were
mocking us by the end of the game, but
it really was the thought that counted,
and all our hearts were warmed by
their actions.

Kudos to graduating players (Ryan,
Jordan, and myself), good luck to those
moving up from recreational to
"competitive", and an extra special
thank you to our coach and mentor,
Mr. Wearring, for his patience and his
ability to pretend not to be embarrassed
by our performances on the ice.

The ski team rebounded from a disappointing
season last year, to capture a box full of medals in
1998. This is most certainly due to the strict dryland
training sessions enforced by coach Featherstone.
With the help of these sessions and constant
monitoring by our coach, the Level 1, 2 and 3 skiers
were able to enter the NCAS Championships with
a level of confidence and enthusiasm second to
none (other than the teams that beat us). The event
was held at Edelweiss Valley on Feb. 16 and 17 with
the Giant Slalom the first day and the Slalom on the
second day of the competition. In our Level 3
category, Caroline Anderson showed the field how
it was done, winning the GS by a considerable
margin and bringing home the gold. She did an
excellent job on the second day of racing when she
demonstrated the how-to's of painful and
spectacular wipe-outs while racing. In the same
category, Bill MacEwen took the Bronze in the
Slalom. Our other categories placed extremely well
much to everyone's surprise. The Boys Level 2 and
Girls Level 1 both won bronze medals in GS and
Slalom and the Level 1 Boys took the bronze in the
GS. Best of luck to all those graduating and special
thanks to Mrs. Featherstone for all her time and
hard work this season! (Bryan Estabrooks and Billy

The baseball team made the move to Tier 1

team. Our (new look) was complemented by
new uniforms, including pants that Mr. Coles
said "fit really well". Needless to say, neither
coach wore their team pants for the rest of the
season. Our defensive play was unimpressive
attimes and wedesperately lacked consistency
at the plate. Some players, however, had a
knack for sparking team offense. ShawTi, for
example, was a pillar of strength and of clutch-
hitting for the fourth year in a row. Thanks to
stellar pitching fromjordie (who wall represent
Ontariointheunderl8 category this summer),
Jamie and Chris, we were able to win some big
games, but unfortunately bowed out 3-1 in the
first round to the eventual city champions,
Louis Riel. Thanks to our fearless leaders, Mr.

Jr. Boys'
Rugby

This was another eventful and successful season for the
Junior boys rugby team. The season opened up with two
home exhibition games against Assumption School.
They were good, but we were better - bea ting them both
times. The team traveled away from "home base" this
year. Our first stop was Albert College in Belleville,
where we won easily. We kept our unbeaten record until
we moved on to face Trinity College in Port Hope.
Teammates will remember the South African player
who taught us a thing or two! The regular season opened
well. We were undefeated until we met our old rivals,
the Brookfield Blues. Once again they beat us 10-5 in a
close game, our only loss of the regular season. Now it
was on to the playoffs. The semi-final game versus
Nepean was a close game, but we were victorious even
though both team MVPs suffered injuries. The City Final
played against Hillcrest was tough, but we came out on
top 24-1 2 and were crowned City Champs for the second
year in a row. Like last year we then played in the
National Capital Final. Unlike last year, we won, bea ting
a very strong team from St. Peter's 7-5. Matt Ryan scored
the game try with a dummy scissors move in front of the
posts and then Chris Napoli kicked the conversion to
put us ahead with just over 10 minutes remaining in the
game. Every player agrees that our successes could not
have been possible without our great coaches. Once
again, on behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr.
Schneider, Darcy Walsh, and Mr. Trites for their time
and patience. I would also like to thank all my teammates
and especially the 18 graduating players for their
commitment to Ashbury rugby. Good luck next season
to all of the returning players and the new recruits. High
oh!!!!!! (James Poston)

This was definitely our most successful
season in recent years. From the beginning
of April to the end of May, thirty-three
players gave everything thev had to rugby.
Highlights included the Stanstead and
Sydenham trips, and several victories after
being down at half time. The team played
a total of 16 games in just less than 6 weeks.
With such a busy schedule, there were
many injuries in key positions. Fortunately,
we had enough depth to carry us through
to the semi finals. It was a heartbreaking
loss to a tough team. We couldn't have had
a better group of players that worked so
well together. Congratulations and good
luck to all of the graduating players. We
are all looking forward to next year!

was the talented, spirited,

Featherstone, dedicated Francis
and Laura, these striving
winners fulfilled the basics of
what is needed and required to
be as successful as what is put
in. Congrats on a well deserved
finalist position and with special
consideration to the talent being
lost. Take good care of the
returning players but remem-
ber rookies need love too.

Five years ago, the Ashbury track team
took a cab to theOttawa High School Track

our best throwers, jumpers and runners
took over the meet and placed an amazing
3rd as a school. Most notably, the team
fielded seven different relay teams who all
medaled. Three-quarters of the team all
returned for the National Capital meet.
Several athletes had great performances
and coaches. Ms. Duggan and M rs. Holman
took four athletes down to the Eastern

Kingston. Dan "the Barbanan" Barbarie,
Hilary Bum and Zein Odeh then traveled
down to Sudbury for the OFSAA

This year, the team had a great start considering the looming strike
that Fiung over the fall term. We managed to pull a 4th place in our
league w'hich was amazing considering the size of our team which
continued to diminish as the season went on. It was a team where
there was a common bond that held us together. The friendships that
we made along the way were vital to me. When we won, we won as
a team and when we lost, we lost as a team. I would like to thank the
graduating players: Chris - in my eyes you were the captain, Dan -
maybe we can get the rotation right next time, Alex - Russians rock.
For some players that won't be returning: Thomas - have you
considered the German National team?, Ryan - the whole team

Investor's Club

The 1997/ 1 998 school year saw many changes in
the Investor's Club. For the first time since its
inception, the club was run by a group of dedi-
cated students who formed the Executive Com-
mittee of the Investor's Club. The students con-
sisted of Winston Bennett, Bridget Adrian, An-
drew Nicholson and Andrew Magnus. Mrs.
Hergert remained an integral part of the club as
our staff advisor. While some of least year's stock
picks proved to be less than profitable, all of this
year's choices have earned respectable returns.
Our choices for this year were Yogen Fruz,
Loblaws and Unihost. The first two are well-
known food distributors and the latter is a resort
operator, whose assets include the Journey's End
chain. Over the course of the year, we invited
three guest speakers to aid our learning of the
world of investing. Mr. David Smith, Ms. Eliza-
beth MacLean, and Mr. Robert H. Orange all
delivered stimulating lunch-hour seminars. Over-
all, the year turned out to be a great success as we
profited not only from the seminars, but from our
investments too. (Winston Bennett)

Science Team

The Ashbury Science Team began to break through new frontiers
this year, pushing science to both its educational and recreational
limits. The crew was anchored by a slew of dedicated junior
students, determined not only to learn, but also to prove that
science can be an incredible extra-curricular activity.
Our first important event was the celebration of National Science
and Technology week, for which a variety of events were organized
for junior school students. From jeopardy to drinking straw canti-
levers, the juniors amazed us all with their bright smiles, innovative
spirit and genuine competitive interest in doing the best that they
could

Following this, a long period of preparation began for the annual
Science Olympics, held at the Museum of Science and Technology,
and sponsored this year by the University of Ottawa. Our team set
out in 5 events: the spaghetti bridge competition, the drinking-
straw cantilever contest, the bionic arm battle, the fun machine
venture, and the audio-visual presentation challenge. We came out
of the event with a plethora of top five finishes, although, sadly,
none in the top three. What was the most wonderful about the day
was the imaginative and resourceful display put on so brilliantly by
many of the competitors, both from Ashbury and the other con-
tending schools (I hesitate to call the opponents, or even competi-
tors: the whole event was really about pushing forward the fron-
tiers of the application of the imagination to the concrete world, not
about who came first, second and third!)

All that can be said about the 1997-1998 Science Team season is that
it was a whole lot of fun, and a whole lot of learning. Many thanks
to all the faculty advisors, and, most importantly, to Coach Wearring
for his steady, confident (and very patient!) leadership. Without
their enthusiasm, none of it would ever have been possible! Good
luck next year, Science Team! (Aaron Meyers)

Mathematics

Certificates of distinction were awarded to 35 of the 124
students who participated in the Canadian Mathematics
Competitions. These students finished in the top 25% of all
participants across Canada. Special recognition goes to Sae
Park who tied for 6th place out of 36,275 students who wrote
the Cayley contest in Canada. Certificates of distinction were
won by Anthony Delvecchio, SuEun Heo, Bikalpa Khatiwada
and Chris Kergin in the American High School Mathematics
Examination (AHSME). In the American Invitational Math-
ematics Examination (AIME), certificates of merit were pre-
sented to SuEun Heo and Anthony Delvecchio. SuEun Heo,
Aaron Meyers, Bikalpa Khatiwada, Young Fan and Philip
Francis were awarded certificates of merit in the Canadian
National Mathematics League. In the Canadian Open Math-
ematics Challenge, certificates of distinction were awarded
to SuEun Heo, Anthony Delvecchio, Malik Amir, Allan Dafoe,
Chris Kergin, Aaron Meyers and Bikalpa Khatiwada.

Congratulations to all of the students who participated in the
various contests held throughout the year. (Head of Math-

Outdoor Education

Well, we've managed to have another
safe and "successful" year. Thanks to,
mastering ancient Ashbury anti-rain
dances.all of the trips in the fall were
able to remain dry. Unfortunately,
the dances do not work for American
rain gods who snowed on the leaders'
hike and rained on the gold hike. Al-
though the ice storm eleminated the
prospect of having Winter Survival
and Night Navigation trips, us coun-
try folk were given ample opportu-
nity to do these on our own. There are
two and two-fifths student leaders
graduating this year. Neil, Chris (who
forgot to come on any trips in grades
11,12, and 13), and myself. We will go
on wearing our Goke-Tex® through

Tae-Kwon-Do

Although the class changes with the different seasons
there is emerging a hard core group of Tae-kwon-Do
enthusiasts. Whatever the reasons for our enthusiasm
our bodies are learning all about flexibility and bal-
ance As well as fitness the class involves various self
defense techniques, learning the prescribed movements
and patterns, and meditation exercises. Many of us are
progressing through the belts and some of the students
have progressed as far as the green stripe. Congratula-
tions are extended to our instructor, Aron Chaney,
presently a grade 1 2 student at the school who received
his black belt second dan. this year. (R. Zettel)

TEAM #3 "The Rockliffe Park Public School's 'homework club'

Debating

English Debating

Debating had a loud and strong year, with
many firsts in numerous areas and activities.
We became a member of the renowned Fulford
League, a debating organisation of indepen-
dent schools. We also expanded into the Junior
School, with much success, sending delegates
to the Junior Provincials and Nationals. The
World Affairs Conference was also attended
by our members, showing an increased aware-
ness of the role of youths in the world. We
participated and returned victorious in debates
at the Toronto French School. We also attended
the International Independent Schools Public
Speaking Competition in Montreal. Some de-
baters traveled to the Forum for Young Cana-
dians. The Ashbury debating society was ac-
tive on a more local level, hosting the Ottawa
Regionals, and the Inter-House debates in which
Alexander house triumphed at the senior level,
and Connaught house winning it at the junior
level. Congratulations are in order for those
who received awards in the events, namely
Benjamin Barry, Allan Dafoe, Ryan Davies,
Andrew Magnus, Kevin Massie, Emily
Mawhinney, Tony Navaneelan, and Jason
Richards. The society would like to thank Ms.
Sinclair and Ms. Hergert for their support and
coaching this year. Our graduating members
are Caroline Chan and Kevin Massie, who have
given so much time and dedication to the soci-
ety. (Jonathan So and Benjamin Barry)

French and Bilingual Debating

Cette annee, malheureusement, le debut de
notre programme de debat a ete assez dur.
Dans la region, il y avait une greve dans le
secteur public, suivie d'une tempete de verglas
et, f inalement, l'absence imprevue et prolongee
de 1'entraineur, Monsieur Stojanovic, n'a
surement pas aide a la preparation des
etudiant(e)s. Nos etudiant(e)s ont, malgre tout,
demontre de l'enthousiasme et Malik Amir et
Kouka Sawadogo-Lewis ont pris l'initiative et
se sont presentes au Tournoi Regional des
debats francais. Du cote bilingue, on avait Hilary
Burn, Joseph Mouiakel, Zein Odeh et Andrew
Magnus qui ont defendu la tradition
prestigieuse d'Ashbury lors du Tournoi
Regional des debats bilingues. Hilary Burn
s'est classee parmi les trois meilleures orateurs
de la region et elle est allee au Seminaire
provincial a Sudbury ou elle s'est meritee la
troisieme place. Le plus important est que nos
etudiants ne se sont pas laisse decourager par
certains evenements imprevus et qu'ils ont
consacre de nouveau beaucoup d'energie et de
temps libre pour exercer ce "sport vocal".
Felicitations et merci a tous et a toutes! (Dejan

know it is Shubhra. or Shubs, as
her friends say it. expressing her
reactions towards some very ex-
citing and overwhelming news.
This 5'4" South Asia beauty is a
wonderful blend of fun. mischief,
wisdom, and sarcasm. She works
hard to excel in her studies and

surprisingly enough get there!!

Shubhra has contributed signifi-

Listen carefully

Ashburians, what is the
most important thing for
you? Probably not study-
ing hard right. You are
wrong. Everybody should
be working hard, be suc-
cessful at school, and for
the rest of your life. Don't
sit back and relax, be ac-
tive, and try reaching your
highest goals. It only takes
perseverence, and hard
work. I know you can do it.
Good luck.

to take so long when I was but a
minor niner, but now that I look
back on my years at Ashbury,
(seven in total), I realize how
quickly it went. I don't think I
would have survived without some
friends who have been so support-
ive and entertaining. B.V., DM.,
N.M., Tony Macaroni, GUY., D.B.
the senior football team and the
baseball team, and anyone whom I
missed. Some of the teachers I need
to thank, Mr. Varley, Mr Coles, Mr.

make me different. Specifically,
thanks to the people in all my
classes and more importantly
those who helped make the mo-
ments in between great. 1 don't
want to leave anyone out, so "You
know who you are". Super
thanks to those who shared some
laughs, food, conversation, fire

Three years three years in

Ashbury, how was it?.. ..I'd say time
well spent! Memories of good times
and bad times were flashing in front

of my eyes I don't know about

you, but I definitely had a great
time at Ashbury. First day of
school., 'why do I have to come to
school 30 min. early and sit in a
class room doing nothing V.' ... first
swim meet. .'who's that geek in a
speedo ??'.. first semi-

formal. .'couldn't the people just
spread out V.' ... first day out taking
picture...' why's that guy looking
thru a water bottle ??
whatareulookingat ?'. There are too

many things to mention but I

must thank all the teachers and
friends for their support over the

past three years Mr. Coles, Mr.

Miedema, Mr. Wearring, Mrs.

Ford Neil, Jen P., Roland (when

are you going to have another party

?), Chris K., Ivan thank you

and best of luck to you all.

at Ashbury more

enjoyable. ..especially AH S.,

Brendan L...

Eso es para todas las estrellas,
Victor ('naranjas'), Jorge ('Aus-
tin'), Ricardo ('rico suave'),
Fernando ('don juan'), Ivan ('el
zorro')y Gustavo ('chamaco')...
Thank you to all the teachers
who have taught through the
years that hard work and dedi-
cation pays off... I am off to
University. ..***el lobo

Cheers to Jamie. C and Ben.V (some-
day you will realize that us Brits
are superior, until then I will pray
for you) and Dan.B, for being such
a Dan. Also, thanks to those I got
along with (or so I think). That
being FEW, FV (don't forget our
World Cup bet), CH, Mr Penton
and all me mates outside of this
school (please play nice). If I forgot
anyone then you probably weren't
important enough. I hope every-
one mentioned here succeeds and
the rest all fail miserably.

And finally, just to shut you up...
"soccer" (although do not assume
that this means I have said this
dirty word).

Just remember that ambition makes
you look pretty ugly (TY) and hy-
ing is the first step to failing (HS).

1 entered grade five at Ashbury as a
little nine year old sporting a'very
stylish green blazer. I saw those
giant blue jacket people and
thought how far off it all seemed.
Now 1 am there, saying goodbve to
my blue blazer at the end of a long
journey. There are so many memo-
ries that I will take with me: 7k,
singing with Mr. McLean, grade 8
camping trip, Mr. Merritt, vou are
the trumpet god, jazz combo, espe-
cially Otterdale, Mr. Sir with no
pants, a broken door and the Kellv
dance, senior school music my fel-
low musicians, I learned a lot from
all of you, Denmark "I hope you
know where we're going, Chris",
Last Minute, MAP and the Coffee
House (Caffa 'Ouse), it was so dam
intense, wassup. LL, JM, PM, MK,
LT, AA, GT, NJ — vour teaching
was inspiring. Bryan, Deven,
Emma, Matt, Neil and Jordan —

ing me laugh so much. It's time to

Seven years of Ashbury to sum-
marize in eight hundred char-
acters . . . Instead of going
through the multitude of
memories (from fun machines
and plaster of Paris to Rec
Hockey and oral presentations
and the Blazer to Cancun and
everything in between) and
inside jokes acquired over that
time, and trying to mention all
of them while respecting the
character limit, I would like to
give my thanks to three groups
of people. My teachers, for
teaching me how to think, and
occasionally making the pro-
cess fun, my family, for your
support and understanding,
and my friends, for making all
of it fun and memorable.

I'm writing this one month before
the year finishes up and I feel that
Ashbury is a great school. I was
already graduated from where I
come from. Mexico, and suppos-
edly I came here just to learn En-
glish, but I learned so much more,
and I feel glad to be a graduate of
Ashbury College. I'd like to thank
everyone who taught me some-
thing in one way or another. I'll
never forget this year because it
has been so special. My advice is
to take advantage of the huge num-
ber of opportunities that Ashbury
offers. Thank you.

Things I have learnt at Ashbury:
Boarding is a whole different ball
game, stress is the ultimate theme
at Ashbury, Rugby is the only real
sport and always rage against the
system. There is more to the five
years that I have spent here though:
Frieday Girls, the spirit lives on
forever. Dylan take care and be
good! Sylvie da best, Dominican
forever,' "Raise the Roof". Katie,
you're nuts, but you know how to

Barry and make me laugh, love ya!
'evon, nobody compares.
Amanda, after prep friend and
chillin' buddy, I love you, I'll al-
ways have a smile on my face when
I think of you. Becky, my adven-
ture buddy, never say never. Sean,
Rob, Eric be good! Amy, just do it!
Angela, to many memories, we
thrive in the art of lies, however,
we made it. Be proud, it only hap-
pens once, I love ya and I'll miss ya.
1 can never forget my famblv, thank
you mum, Jose, Juan and fJuth. To
all my teachers: Thank You. To the
class of '98: Good Luck. Finally,

were happy some were sad,
memories of me and my part-

been filled with its ups and
downs, but I have always found
a way. Matty V and Aaron, my
boys, memories of Lake Louise
and going 'out of bounds'. Ryan
stay a way from the cider. Vij keep
drop kicking and stay hottt.
Now to my ladies, Nana,

- I'm lonelier than God. And all mv
wishes spin the fishes in the air and
everyone a different shade of you.
And to the left where up is down
there stands a zebra made of shapes
of me it's silver and the sun. So
bring no guilt with you up above
the flat-line, lets just hit the sky

These last two years at Ashburv
were wicked. Who could imagine
that being Spanish, I would gradu-
ate in Canada? The point is that I
finished something that I've done
everywhere in the world and's
lasted 12 years!! I, nevertheless,
wished I was done studying but I
am at the beginning of a new era
(again)... The only thing I've left to
do is thank my parents, Fernando
and Rocio, for all they've done for
me. Maria, hermanita,buena suerte
el ano que viene, sin tu hermano
para protejerte! A few sentences
that marked my years at Ashburv:
-Vamos a olviaar! -Bare, Bare. - El

What a year it
has been!!!
1997-1998 will
definitely go
down in the
history books.
We watched
the whole
world go into
mourning at
the deaths of
Princess Diana
and Mother
Theresa, and
questioned the
role of the
media in our
ives. The Clinton sex scandal shook the
establishment and fueled the jokes of late-night
talk-show hosts. The postal strike gave us an
excuse for why our Christmas cards were so late
in their arrivals. We went to school while our
public school friends stayed home because of the
two-week-long, Province-wide teachers' strike.
Ice storm '98 (the "Storm of the Millennium")
showed us that Mother Nature was still the boss,
but it also taught us that as a community we could
come together in a time of need. Ashburv trees
were first ravaged by a huge rain storm in the fall,
then by the ice storm'in January - the Grad gift was
a bunch of trees for the front lawn. El Nino ravaged
the planet with a year of the weirdest weather
anyone will ever see. It also became the scapegoat
for just about anything. On the sports front, the
Ottawa Senators made it to the semi-finals,
showing the NHL they were a power to contend
with. We were all glued to our TV screens for the
1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan - our
hearts soared with Elvis Stoiko as he performed
his triple- triple, and sank as he limped off the ice.
The buzz of The World Cup of Soccer, France '98,
brought us out in droves. Viagra was introduced
-we're still not sure if it works, but there are things
going bump in the night. The Canadian dollar has
seen better days and the Asian Flu has hit the
world economy. Steps are finally being made to
bring peace in Ireland with a referendum pushing
for changes. All in all, it has been a year to
remember. Good luck to all in your future
endeavors. (Caroline Chan)

Yearbook Staff

Another yearbook laid to rest, finally. It's after graduation, and a few brave
souls have braved the halls of Ashbury to finish off the Ashburian. To all who
helped out with photos, layout, write-ups and other various things, thank you.
Thanks especially to Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Rust, Neil, Brendan, Caroline, Pam, Biku,
Ali, Phil, Jon, Kim, Matt L., Kelly C, Young, Kelly F., Julia, Thomas, Bridget,
Rebecca, Monika, Kerry and Jessie (in no particular order) and anyone else
we've forgotten. We met all our deadlines, sort of, and didn't have to stay too
late on too many occasions. When you glance through this book, you will
hopefully notice the many horizontal eyelines and dominant elements that
gave so many headaches and other pains. Hopefully you will appreciate the
many hours of hard work and diligent efforts put into crafting a lasting
memory of the year 1997-98. It's been fun, if a little hectic. (Jennifer Polk)

The wisdom of Lahey of Polk and of Booth
Exhorts me this year to be clever
To write this missive with a collective of nouns
And to that end shall I pen my endeavour

- P.H. Montgomery

DRIVEL IN A DROVE

We know that a group is made of ones who muster
Then gain intricate names as soon as they cluster —
Like watches of birds though not nearly so strange
As troops of kangaroos hopping Aussie's wide range.

But turn to the scared - an exhaltation of larks
To crows who in a murder profane our fine parks.

A litter of piglets, a pod of seals, turtles in a bale:

Shall we tie them with a string of ponies, set them out in a sale?

Pride, all but the lions know, is commonly counted a sin —

A plague of locusts on your house, should you let such vices in.

What can we learn from animal terms, against which you may readily

rail

From teams of horses, a clutter of cats or from coveys of partridge and

quail?

The words are stuck like a knot of toads to tell me who 1 might be.

How should I live, travel, or stay close to home, like ants in a colony?

Am I just part of a swarm or a clan
Mere member of some coterie?
Or perhaps, perhaps am I a man
Alone, myself, silly me?

. . . to Across the Continent.

This year Ashbury was invited to participate
intheCanadianlndependentSchoolsUnder
13 Basketball Tournament. The tournament
was hosted by Glenlyon Norfolk School in
Victoria, B.C. and took place from Thursday,
February 12 to Saturday, February 14, 1998.
The team, accompanied by Coach Street
and Mr. Storosko left Ottawa on Tuesday,
February 10 and returned on Sunday,
February 15.

The purpose of the trip was basketball, but
we did some touring and saw some
interesting sights as well. The players were
billeted by St. George's School in Vancouver
and also in Victoria by our host school. One
parentbilletedtenofourplayers and another
billeted two of our players plus an entire
other team. Never in my experience as a
coach have I seen such dedication from
billeting parents. Many positive reports
were received from different sources
commenting on the behavior of our team.
The boys represented the school with
courtesy and pride.

On the basketball court we had our share of
success despite the fact that many of the
players were suffering from symptoms of
colds or flu. We earned victories over
Collingwood, Glenlyon Norfolk and St.
Andrew's and suffered losses to Royal St.
George's and the eventual champions from
Upper Canada. These results were good
enough for us to place fifth out of twelve
teams.

All in all it was a most enjoyable trip.

ome Say Ice.

Ballad of '98

The enormous weight of the ice on the trees,

left the work) in much peril from wet winter

breeze

Eighty millimeters of rain would eventually fall

By the end all the trees would not be so tall.

They snapped and they snagged onto wire below

under great pressure from ice and from snow

The wake of the storm had vet to be seen

for this raging storm woulcf soon turn fierce and

mean.

Birches and cedars would soon start to fold
even though they were strong and enormously old
The rains kept on coming for numerous days
and the storm just kept worsening in so many
ways.

The damage so massive in back vard and street
and there was a sad face on all that you'd meet.
Gone were the trees we had long watched to grow
destroyed by the hideous ice and the snow.

The face of the countryside was not left alone,
The sight of the damage would chill to the bone.
Heard were the sounds of the deafening booms
As the trees were exploding on their hillside
tombs.

Thirty times their own weight was the ice on the

trees,

The sound of their falling would shiver your knees

Even the evergreens were covered with ice,

and the storm left no shelter for raccoons or mice.

So all of the evergreens turned glassy white,
and many cried out at this horrible sight.
The birches were cracking - falling in place
Soon all that was left was wide open space.

The battle was raging for the trees to survive,
for they had to be strong to come out alive
But in time we all know that the trees will succeed,
for a ray of bright sun is all that they need

Icicles

Icicles handing off the roof late at night

The moon light shining makes them twinkle so

bright

gleaming like stars, the ice so pretty hanging there.

Suddenly the wind blows them off one by one

falling like trees in the forest

onto the ground and shattering like glass.

The Storm

The branches bow down to the mighty storm
the streets are covered with ice
on the ground power lines lie, torn
The city is locked in a bitter cold vice

Glass storm

Each leaf, each branch,
each blade of grass -
seems to be coated in
a sheath of glass

The beautiful ice
once all is said
can be quite as heavy
as a coating of lead

The branches crackle,
snap crash and roar
as they topple to
the ice covered floor

The city cries out
in utter dismay
as the ice storm causes
such total disarray

We start with a snippet from

Robert Frost.

Much ado about nothing

Zero

Numbers have always fascinated me. My favorite number, believe it or not, is
zero. Now, I don't want to get this number in a test of or a speech contest - it
would be disastrous. The number zero has infinite possibilities. It has an
intriguing past and a fathomless future.

To say that zero is nothing, zip, zilch is a fatal mistake. Without this funda-
mental number, there would be no mathematics, no science and no comput-
ers. So let's start at the very beginning. How was zero invented?

Our pre-historic ancestors performed basic calculations by using pebbles and
by counting off notches carved in bone or on cave walls. Numeric notations
appeared around 3000 BC. The Roman numerals, we learned in grade IV,
were based on these early systems. For example, the year 2000 is written as
MM. The ability to describe this number without a barrel of pebbles was a big
step forward. However the Roman numerals could not be used to accomplish
the simplest of calculations. For example, just try multiplying 2000 by 5 in
Roman numerals - quite a formidable task for a grade fiver.

The ingenious number "zero" we use to-day was developed in India by
monks in the 5th century AD. The number was nothing less than perfect!
How else can one describe an invention that has been adopted around the
world and remains unchanged in 1500 years?!

The concept of zero brought in a whole new world and, in this century,
helped develop the universe of computers. Did you know that data used and
processed by computers is coded in a language made up exclusively of ones
and zeroes called a binary code? Even with computers, zero is still a formi-
dable number. As we face the next century, BANG! The power of zero is
again upon us. We apparently face annihilation around the year 2000 since
manv computers can't differentiate between the '00' in the year 2000 from the
year 1900. Millions and billions are being spent trying to teach that the '00'
really mean the year 2000.

And finally, to test the power of zero, try to divide any number by zero on
your calculator. Some calculators show the answer as an error, and some as
infinity. Didn't I tell you that zero has infinite possibilities?

U-ll/12 Soccer

The U-ll/12 Soccer team enjoyed a successful
season. Every player made significant progress,
and I was always impressed with the effort I
saw on the field. We were visited by teams
from the Priory and LCC. While our win/loss
record was not what we hoped for, our players
acquitted themselves in every game.
Characteristically, when our trip to Montreal
was smothered by 15 cm of snow, the U-12's
were itching to go in spite of the mud and
slush. My thanks to Ms. Gomme, Mr. Street,
Mr. Keyes and Mr. Schneider for all their help.

The Ashbury U-13 team's first tournament of the
year was in Lennoxville at the beginning of October.
Although we did not return successful, we gamed
vital experience in this first competition. Later in the
year, the team went to Toronto for the annual CAIS
U-13 national soccer tournament. Our first game
was an exhibition against St. John's Ravenscourt. We
played very well, and won 4-0. Following the game
we briefly visited the Hockey Hall. Embarking on
our first day of tournament play, we found
ourselves in a vary challenging four-team divisions
in the tournament. Our lack of focus allowed
Appleby to win the first game. Later on, we played a
superb but unlucky game against Glenlyon-Norfolk
School which ended in a 1-1 tie. A final 1-4 loss to
Upper Canada College, the eventual championship
winners, put us in the consolation playoffs. On the
second day of the tournament, we beat Royal St.
George's College 3-0, then squeezed by the skilled
Countrv Day School 1-0. For our last game, we
slaughtered St. Michael's University 4-0. Our series
of wins placed us in the consolation semi-finals,
where we managed a 1-0 win over Lower Canada
College. Unfortunately, Country Day School beat us
in double overtime for the Consolation finals with a
score of 2-1. 155

The Under 14's, set off for Bishop's College School two weeks
into the term. The highlight of the trip, apart from the soccer
of course, was the annual stop at the Bar B Barn. The timid U-
13's walked into the restaurant preceded by the wise U-14's
who were excited at the prospect of eating the whole hog!
Devin Macleod won the competition by eating 12 ribs. Once
in Sherbrooke the excited gaggle of soccer players managed
to keep Messers Storosko, King and Velentine up most of the
night. The tournament started well for us, as we won against
Centennial from Montreal 5-0. This was followed by two
more shut outs. The Colts ruled for the second straight year!
We had less success in our other major event, the Catholic
Soccer tournament (1-1-2 record).

We were invited to participate in the CIS Under 13 tourna-
ment hosted by Glenlyon Norfolk School in Victoria, from
February 12 to the 14th. The purpose was basketball, but
the trip was a rewarding experience for all involved. On
the court we had our share of success despite the 'flu that
affected many of our players. We won three games, losing
to the eventual champions, Upper Canada, and placed 5th
of 12 schools. Mr. Street and Mr. Storosko were most
impressed by the behaviour of all the boys. The U14 were
competitive in the Ottawa league, just missing the play-
offs and having, all in all, a successful season. The U 12s
had their share of difficulties, but there are positive signs
for the future for this development team. Thanks to Ms.
Gomme. At right: Shamir and Matt strut their stuff.

Cross-Country Running was a tremendous success

this year. Under Mr. Street's guidance, we were

impressive repeat city champions with Lee finishing

first in the bantams, followed byrunners in 4th, 5th,

and 6th place. In midget we also finished first. The

best showing was Matt Runnalls in 4th. Obviously

Ashbury rules x-cj Thanks to the expert coaching of

Mr. King, Badminton was another area of great

success. The Catholic Schools tournament was easy

picking iar our guys, with Pablo and the team of

James and Sascha going through undefeated in the

»--" grade 7 division. Under Mr, Menzies' mentoring,

squash Was a popular winter activity. We hosted

for what will be, perhaps, an annual event. In

years to come we hope for greater success!

Hockey: In House & Out

The season started well when our Hertz van broke
down on the way to the Selwyn House tourna-
ment. We and all our equipment all were forced
into the school bus - quite a tight fit. Perhaps
because of the transport problems we started off
poorly, losing our first two games, but thanks to
the strange system we made it to the playoffs. We
beat the teams that had beaten us (Selwyn and
Brebeuf) and won the tournament! Our next chal-
lenge was the UCC tournament - one victory but
no championship this time. UCC came to visit
later and we combined hockey (two ties - thanks
to Alistair Senn) and skiing. Most enjoyable. One
more Montreal tournament (we finished 4th)
ended our season. Thanks to Messers King and
Storosko for all their time and trouble.

Great Grade 8 Bash

Many thanks to the parents who organized the Bash. Clock-
wise from top left: Nick & date; Jon; Lachlan & Lee; the Party's
over. Lucky Charley; Devin was in top form; Stuart, Joe,
Douglas went wild.

I am Allen the alligator
and my idea of fun,
Is to write animal poetry
in the sun.

I've got the pencil
in my teeth,
This next poem is
going to be really neat.

I am planning to write
about billy goats,
OH-NO!!! here come,
the tourist boats.

I should get a salary
for all my hard work,
Entertaining these silly
tourist jerks.

No sooner do they
leave the dock,
Than I hear them
Calling me a croc.

While crocs and gators
have lots the same,
Alligators are more
Intelligent game.

The tourists' cameras
go click-click-click,
I could sink their boats
with just one flick.

My tail is long
and very strong,
But to use it badly
would just be wrong.

It's not that I'm
so very mean,
I just don't like
their noisy machines.

We gators got
to this swamp first,
All I want is quiet
to write my verse.

SILVER

Michael O'keefe *B

GOLD

Gold is the taste of fame

Gold feels hard and rich

It sounds like a deep cello

Gold is buttery popcorn

Gold is warm, cosy sweaters

Gold is the colour of my mom's hair

The setting sun makes my lake turn gold

Loonies shine like gold in the sunlight

Gold is crispy, golden french fries

A baby lab is a bundle of gold

Sunny days in the Fall are gold

But when Winter comes

Gold is gone

Andrew Doran 4B

Silver is a swift fish in the sea

Silver is a sparkling nickel

A glittering quarter, a shiny dime

Silver is a happy feeling

Silver is a shining diamond in the moonlight

Silver is a cavity that aches all night

Silver is a curved spoon

A pointy fork, a sharp knife

Silver is an echo in an empty cave.

Daniel Lenouvel 4B

ORANGE

Orange is a juicy mandarin

Orange is the flames that crackle

Orange is in the morning

Orange is a goldfish in a pond

Orange is a marigold in the grass

Orange is an oriole flying in the sky

Orange is when you're angry or bad tempered

Orange is my swimsuit

Orange is the crunch of Cheetos

Orange is a spicy Nacho chip

Orange is the sun

Orange is the colour of fun

My Kingdom DARK NIGHT

The kingdom I rule

is an isolated land

where no one dare go.

It is guarded by

fierce Doberman pinschers

and terrifying pit bulls.

I live with my subjects

side-by-side and I keep

the land isolated.

No people allowed,

that is my rule.

I live with my dogs

and with no one else.

I rule myself and

my dogs obey me.

I live by myself and

that's fine with me.

I wear shorts and a t-shirt

and I am covered in

dog hair.

I am happy living

in my private lair.

I see to it that I am left alone

and my subjects and my land

are left unharmed

and unchanged.

My name is Dog,

that's all I'll say;

and I rule my way.
182 J

The sea is my blood and stones are my bones
and the animals are my heart.
I am Dark Night.

My eyes are made of the rarest jewels
and my clothes are made
of the finest diamonds.

I rule the golden land and own a silver village

called Dark Village.

It is built of silver and it shines day and night.

My land is full of gold and my village

is crowded with people.

I like the fact that I am a ruler.
I can do whatever I want.
There is nobody
that can boss me around.

I am a god.

I own everything.

When I sing at night

the glistening red flowers and

the bright green seaweed

dance to the tune.

I am Dark Night.

Gray

I am Gray

The ruler of ice.

My veins so clear

and teeth so white.

If you saw me

I might give you a little fright.

When winter comes.

That's when I come out.

I'm under the canal

I'm under the sea

I'm under some rivers

I'm under your lake

My people are nothing but

a frail piece of snow.

That's when I die
I wait for people to come

back again until
the new leader takes over.

That's when I go.

Tours of the Planets

Mercury is the small planet nearest to the Sun.

\s you might have thought, living on Mercury isn't fun.

If the heat Joes not get you, the boredom probably will.

So little happens on Mercury, it's enough to make you ill.

Venus was once thought to be where tropical jungles have grown
Unfortunately, this is not true: it's the hottest planet known.

\ enus is a planet on which life may never lurk.
Its heat is caused by a greenhouse effect gone totally berserk!

Earth is our home planet, as most of you know.

To get to Mars, sou don't have far to go.

Mars, the Red Planet, is not so different from here.

There are canals, volcanoes, polar caps and an earthly atmosphere.

fupiter is the largest, with 16 moons or more

It is made of hydrogen gas with a solid rocky core.

Jupiter is the place that most great storm systems have their birth.

The Great Red Spot for example, is twice as big as Earth.

After Jupiter comes Saturn, another giant proud and tall

Much like Jupiter in most ways, but a slight bit small.

Rocks, dust, ice bits and many other things

Make up the jewelry of the system: Saturn's enormous rings.

Uranus is the most deserving planet of attention

With a weird name, a set of rings and very strange rotation.

If Pluto was at your feet and Mercury from where you see,

Uranus would be . . . urn . . . right where vou think it would be.

The eighth planet is named Neptune because of its distinct blue.

Other than its colour, it is not very interesting, it's true.

Smallest of the gas-giants, and with five moons or so,

About Neptune, there's not much else to know.

Last of all is Pluto, cold and all alone.

It is the smallest planet, and little of it is known.

Beyond Pluto is the vast blackness of interstellar space.

In all of the 9 planets, Earth is the nicest place.

how to achieve world peace

the serpent tempted eve with fruit

a very tasty piece of food

that would (when eaten)

show the difference between evil and good

by eating this wonderful apple
the world would be thrown into chaos
with school all day, no time for play
and every day meeting with the boss

lives would be lost
to the evil enemy named death
animals would become extinct
there would be no air to breathe

"well, in that case," said eve
"i think i'll just have an orange"

andrew huang

I stood at the top of the mountain and took a deep breath. The cold fresh and pure
mountain air burned my lungs but I didn't care. The incredible beauty of my surround-
ings had shocked me and succeeded in dulling every sense other than sight. In my life
never has anything so utterly silenced me. The unimaginable dazzle of the panorama that
lay before me was enough to silence anyone. The snow capped peaks reached to the sky
in a futile attempt to pierce the heavens. The emerald blue of the sky was so utterly pure
that the perfection of the most flawless sapphire could not be compared to it. The strong
white brilliance of the sun reflected off the snow in an awe inspiring reflection that was
more powerful than a hundred thousand lights.

I crouched and my skis dug into the snow. Faster and faster I went. The wind rushed
by in a roar that increased in strength. I felt the incredible pressure of the wind against
my face. I soared off the ledge into the air and in that moment, I experienced true joy.

The Eye

Through a pocket of light

I am given a scene so fair

I am given a vision of a magnificent blue bird

whose wings flutter lightly

in the evening sky

Through a pocket of light

I am given a scene so true

I am given a sun diving into a rich haze

of lush green trees

and flowers of the whole spectrum

Through a pocket of light

I am given a sense so magnificent

I am given a smooth pebble hitting a lake that has not been

touched in over a thousand years

or maybe just not been touched since the night before

Through a pocket of light

I am given a scene so familiar

I am given lush green trees,

I am given stars sparkling in the sky so high

I am given life and all its pleasures

Through a pocket of light

D. Matyas (7p)

How few poets seem to write
About the sense that we call sight
With such a wide variety
Of what we can or cannot see.

When I think of sight I think of eyes,

Gazing up into the skies.

Or to pond or up a tree,

These are the things I like to see!

Some other things I like to see
Are apple pies or Christmas trees,
Feminine bodies from up above,
That sparks a sense that we call love.

Sometimes our eyes deceive us though
Seeing things that are not so.
Seeing one thing then another,
Or seeing starts when hit by brother!

And so I close this sightly tale,

That talks of seeing grassy vale,

With a word to poets to guide them right,

Make more poems with the sense of sight.

Reflections

What do you see when you look into a mirror?

Do you see pride, do you see joy?

Do you see a blind rage hidden under a calm exterior?

Tell me child what do you see?

I am what you see

I am your mother, your father, your brother, your sister

I am the tear in the eye of a child

A young child, wishing his pain would go away

I am your one, your only, your everything

I am . . . You

Good Old Daze

I remember the first day of school

The anticipation of which class you were in,

I remember assembly Monday morning

Being tired and crammed against the wall,

I remember when Junior School Drama

Presented plays to the parents,

I remember the never-failing feeling

Of the thirty seconds before the bell rings

That announces the beginning of a weekend or holiday,

I remember the Hockey Trips with Kinger and Storosky

The Bar-B-Barn and the short lived lie about the Bacon Warehouse,

I remember the four corner tug-of-war that lasted for almost forty minutes

And all the blistered and bleeding hands afterwards,

I remember Phys. Ed.

With Schneider and the crew,

I remember studying for exams

(And still getting so-so marks),

I remember Mr. Humphreys' pep talks for our form room

Before a fundraiser took place in the Junior School,

I remember when rock was young

Me and Susy had so Much Fun

I remember the good old days
