In  late  February,  the  landscape  from  my  office  is  one 
of  snow  banks  and  it  is  hard  to  realise  that  in  just  a 
few  short  months  we  will  be  at  School  Closing.  This 
is  always  a  special  time  in  the  life  of  the  School. 
This  school  year  has  been  one  of  triumphs  and  trag- 
edies. The  fall  season  was  one  of  triumph  for  our 
various  teams,  with  marvellous  success  in  Football, 
Senior  and  junior,  as  well  as  in  Girls'  Basketball. 
Also,  our  Soccer  teams  acquitted  themselves  admira- 
bly. In  many  other  activities  the  school  has  experi- 
enced great  success.  In  this  second  half  of  the  year, 
we  can  anticipate  many  more  successes. 
Sadly,  some  of  our  Ashbury  families  have  experi- 
enced great  personal  tragedy.  At  times  such  as  these, 
the  events  of  school  which  seem  so  important  be- 
come second  place  to  an  atmosphere  where  support 
and  comfort  is  abundant.  Our  students  and  staff 
show  tremendous  loyalty  and  compassion  to  their 
friends  in  distress,  and  that  is  a  most  uplifting  char- 
acteristic of  the  school.  This  human  touch  is  of  vital 
importance. 

During  the  Christmas  break,  I  decided  that  it  was 
time  to  retire  from  the  Headmastership  of  Ashbury. 
Fourteen  exciting  and  rewarding  years  have  passed 
by  at  an  alarming  rate  and  it  is  time  to  hand  over  the 
task  of  leadership  of  Ashbury  when  the  school  is  in 
good  shape.  Dorothy  and  I  will  leave  many  good 
friends  in  the  school  community  of  board  members, 
parents,  students  and  staff.  It  will  be  difficult  to  say 
goodbye.  We  have  been  privileged  to  work  with 
many  great  people  and,  hopefully,  together  we  have 
made  a  difference. 

Best  wishes  to  an  excellent  graduating  class  ~  and 
you  are  an  excellent  group  with  whom  to  graduate!

Deadlines. 

Sometimes  it  seems  that  life  is  full  of  them.  Deadlines  for 
assignments,  term  papers  and  Independent  Study  projects. 
Deadlines  tor  tests,  tven  life  outside  of  school  has  ciead- 
lines.  Birthday  and  Christmas  presents  have  to  be  ready 
on  time.  Mother's  Day  and  Father's  Day  are  important  too. 
So  are  all  the  other  days.  Deadlines  are  everywhere. 
There  are  two  kinds  of  deadlines  really:  Those  you  set  for 
others,  and  those  that  others  set  tor  you.  The  ones  that  you 
set  for  others  often  seem  to  be  the  most  important.  Some- 
times we  think  that  what  we  want  from  others  is  more 
important  than  what  others  want  from  us.  It  seems  quite 
natural.  But  think  about  it.  It  is  a  two  way  street. 
Meeting  deadlines  is  important.  Whether  the  deadline  is 
self-imposed  or  set  by  someone  else,  it  is  important  to  try 
to  meet  it.  Meeting  a  deadline  is  a  personal  victory  in  a 
sense.  It  is  a  kind  of  success. 

The  yearbook  staff  struggles  with  deadlines  all  the  time. 
The  students  want  a  good  yearbook  as  soon  as  they  can  get 
it . .  The  yearbook  publisher  has  deadlines  for  submission. 
So  the  Ashburian  staff  sets  deadlines  for  pictures  and 
write-ups.  They  work  hard  to  meet  internal  and  external 
deadlines  all  through  the  year.  They  ask  things  from  us  so 
that  they  can  do  things  for  us. 

So  this  book  is  a  success.  Theirs  and  ours.  We  made  it 
together. 
Enjoy  your  suceess.

Dr.  Peter  Orange  began  his  IB  career  at  the  Inter- 
national School  of  Geneva,  Switzerland  in  the  late 
1970's.  He  has  taught  English,  Theatre  Arts,  French 
and  Information  Technology.  He  has  chaired  Steer- 
ing and  Subject  Committees  of  the  IB  as  well  as 
being  a  Senior  Examiner  and  Moderator.  During 
his  career,  he  has  been  instrumental  in  developing 
and  offering  teacher  training  workshops  for  the 
I.B.  in  both  North  America  and  Europe,  as  well  as 
lecturing  in  Oxford,  Cambridge  ancl  Boston  dur- 
ing the  summer  months.  He  was  an  Assistant 
Professor  at  Homerton  Ct)llege,  Cambridge  Uni- 
versity where  he  lectured  in  educational  theory. 
Dr.  Orange  came  to  Ashbury  this  September  from 
Philemon  Wright  High  School  in  Hull.

Christine  Tordon  joined  the  Ashbury  staff  this  September 
after  a  career  as  Assistant  Director  of  Admissions  at  Saint 
Mary's  University  at  Halifax  and  as  Registrar  at  Turnbuli 
School /Learning  Centre  here  in  Ottawa. 
It  has  been  a  busy  year  that  has  just  flown  by!  hi  September, 
October  and  November,  university  representatives  from 
Ontario,  out  of  province  and  the  United  States  visited  the 
Grade  13s's.  hi  earlv  October,  six  applications  were  sent  off  to 
both  Oxford  and  Cambridge.  November  was  spent  preparing 
the  Ontario  applications  and  other  applications  to  the  United 
Kingdom.  Also,  in  November,  Ashbury  hosted,  for  the  first 
time,  a  British  Columbia  University  Night  for  students  and 
parents  interested  in  our  school  and  the  city  ot  Ottawa.  In 
January,  we  sent  over  20  applications  to  universities  in  B.C., 
hopefully  ensuring  another  B.C.  night  next  year.  Continuing 
with  past  traditions,  McGill  received  over  50  applications 
from  our  students.  In  addition,  there  is  a  lot  of  interest  in  other 
out  of  province  universities  as  well  as  the  United  States.  And 
in  no  time  at  all,  graduation  will  be  here.

"Please  could  \ou  write  something  up  about  the  IB  lor  the 
yearbook? ..." 

As  I  try  to  wade  through  the  mountain  of  paper  that  conies 
through  the  door  to  my  office  1  struggle  to  think  of  what  to  say 
other  Uian  "Somebody  help  me  witti  this  paper  monster  in  my 
office!!!"  Then  it  conies  to  me  . . .  the  IB  at  Ashbury  is  all  about 
some  dedicated  teachers  trying  to  guide  (and  yes,  sometimes, 
drag!)  a  group  of  highly  (most  of  the  time!)  motivated  stu- 
dents through  what  is'generally  accepted  to  be  the  most 
demanding  nigh  school  programme  in  the  world.  Last  year 
we  had  20  full  Diploma  candidates  who  all  earned  their 
Diploma  (11  of  these  earned  theBiiingualDiploma).  Ihey  did 
this  while  earning  an  average  Diploma  score  of  more  than  35, 
which  was  above  the  world  average. 

This  year  we  have  27  Diploma  candidates,  10  of  whom  will 
earn  the  Bilingual  Diploma.  With  up  to  37  possible  candidates 
for  the  year  after,  the  popularity  of  the  programme  continues 
to  grow,  as  does  the  amount  of  paper  generated  by  the 
students  and  by  the  IB.  It  surely  all  comes  back  to  the  teachers 
who  maf.e  the  programme  vvhat  it  is  here  -  outstanding!

Soon  the  blazer  will  come  off,  and  so  now  is 
the  time  to  reflect .  .  . 

The  Junior  School  was  the  greatest  start  to 
my  time  at  Ashbury.  In  class  and  on  the 
field,  my  Junior  teachers  taught  me  about 
hard  work  and  the  need  to  excel  in  all 
pursuits.  Once  the  green  blazer  had  been 
traded  for  blue,  opportunities  presented 
themselves,  which  have  turned  into  memo- 
ries --  Jr.  Football,  Jr.  Rugbv,  Debating, 
Japan,  German\-,  Sr.  Football  (Ironman  - 
then  quit  for  Tennis  . . .  ummm),  Sr.  Rugb\'. 
With  \vhom  it  all  began  and  will  continue  - 
Da\"e  French,  and  Forever  The  Man  -  Aidan 
Thompson  (It  will  never  end . .  .),Malhotra's 
(for  Tait),  the  Blitz,  the  Lunch  Crew  Table 
(Dre\v,  Dan,  Tait,  Lee,  Jacob  Brain,  Jer), 
summers  in  Berlin  (Volker,  Imme),  after- 
school  watching  Blind  Date,  and  so  much 
more.  This  \ear  with  the  Prefects  has  been 
busy  and  fun,  and  I  have  learned  a  lot  from 
the  experience.  I  never  could  have  done  it 
without  mv  friends,  and  a  'thank  vou'  to  mv 
parents  for  all  of  the  opportunities,  and  you 
too  Tanya.

Ashbury  has  been  like  a  home  to  me.  At 
least  it  feels  that  way  after  being  here  till 
six  each  night.  It  is  a  very  special  and 
unique  place.  No  matter  where  I  go  or 
what  I  do,  it  will  always  be  with  me  in 
some  way.  This  year  was  special  as  it 
brought  me  closer  to  my  school  and  my 
fellow  students.  I  am  very  fortunate  to 
have  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  and 
work  with  many  students  who  I  never 
would  have  met  otherwise.  There  is  a 
lot  that  can  be  learned  from  them. 
1  enjoy  what  I  do  despite  what  other 
people  may  think.  Ashbury  is  changing 
and  it  is  an  honour  to  be  among  those 
who  are  able  to  make  a  difference. 
This  year's  Council  was  fun.  This  was 
the  first  year  that  we  have  been  around 
and  we  did  a  great  job.  We  may  not  have 
seen  eye  to  eye  on  everything  but  we  got 
things  done  on  time  and  looking  pretty. 
You  guys  will  be  just  fine.  Good  luck 
and  remember  to  enjoy  what  you  do.

This  year  has  been  a  time  for  learning  and  accomplishment  for  the 
Student  Council.  With  our  first  full  year  now  behind  us  we  can 
say  that  life  at  Ashbury  is  now  very  different  than  before.  While 
striving  to  improve  the  quality  of  life  for  our  fellow  students,  our 
main  objective  is  to  showcase  the  special  talents  of  our  gifted 
student  body.  We  attempted  to  create  a  whole  new  genre  of 
programs  that  did  not  exist  before  our  time.  Niners  Week,  the 
Pancake  Breakfast,  Oscar  Night,  Matchmaker,  just  to  name  a  few, 
are  new  programs  initiated  this  year. 

A  large  amount  of  recognition  and  thanks  should  be  mentioned 
for  an  exceptional  amount  of  support  and  hard  work  contributed 
to  Council  activities.  I  would  like  to  thank  the  Council  for  their 
dedication  to  a  strong  year  with  big  results.  The  students  of  the 
school  should  be  proud  of  their  reps  as  they  served  them  to  the 
fullest.  A  man  who  deserves  more  recognition  than  this  page  will 
allow  is  the  one  and  only  Mr.  Holman.  Thanks  to  all  the  students 
and  administration  for  making  this  year  possible.

This  past  fall,  the  junior  football  team 
spent  o\'er  one  hundred  hours  prac- 
ticing on  the  barren  Ashbur\-  plaving 
field.  Our  stellar  season  ended  with  a 
respectable  record  of  7  wins  and  2 
losses,  with  only  one  loss  in  regular 
season  plav.  The  dedicated  core  of 
about  40  junior  plavers  were  totally 
committed  to  a  championship  season 
in  1999.  The  captains,  Xick  Skok- 
Hobbs,  Alex  Jackson,  Devin  Macleod, 
Matt  Runalls,  and  Alex  Young,  helped 
inspire  the  team.  With  a  record  of  5-1 
after  the  regular  season,  we  cruised 
through  playoffs.  The  final,  plaved  at 
Minto  field,  was  a  grueling  experi- 
ence for  the  team.  We  failed  to  bring 
back  our  trophv,  losing  35-22  to  the 
St-Marks  squad.  Despite  the  untimeh' 
loss,  the  team  members  should  be 
proud  of  an  excellent  season,  and  all 
the  sacrifices,  sweat,  and  blood  that 
went  into  making  Ashbury  football 
an  unforgettable  experience.  Thanks 
to  Jeff  A\-er)-,  Jim  Colton,  Al  Moffatt 
and  Jim  Clarke,  Mr.  Keyes  and  Coach 
Stableford.  Thanks  also  to  all  the 
graduating  plavers,  the  coaches,  and 
fans.

Epic.  After  a  close  call  with  St.  Pete's  in  last 
year's  city  finals,  the  old  boys  regrouped  for 
one  last  kick  at  the  can.  After  deciding  to 
play  AA  under  the  guidance  of  our  new 
super  coach,  Mr.  Smith,  we  were  joined  by  a 
bunch  of  fresh  new  faces.  The  pre-season 
training  dragged  on  for  three  weeks  with 
more  cones  than  Pat  wants  to  remember.  As 
the  regular  season  began.  Coach  Guarisco 
armed  his  offence  with  deep  threats  at  every 
position.  Led  by  Aaron  and  Jamie  and  fol- 
lowed by  the  tight  ends,  our  pass  happy 
offence  pulled  the  trigger  on  six  straight 
wins!  The  regular  season  was  made  memo- 
rable by  large  crowds,  Dick's  dominance  of 
opposing  offences,  and  some  new  kid  who 
thought  ne  could  take  a  pass  41  yards  for  a 
score  and  then  base  a  movie  around  it.  When 
^reparations  for  the  playoffs  arrived,  Stu, 
ames,  Simon,  Chris,  and  the  rest  of  the  new 
dds  established  themselves  as  a  force  to  be 
reckoned  with  on  the  eastern  Ontario  foot- 
ball scene.  After  defeating  Sir  Will  and 
Gloucester,  we  once  again  round  ourselves 
in  the  city  finals,  this  time  against  St.  Mark's. 
From  the  start,  we  were  all  over  them.  The 
Big  Leb  came  back  to  drive  down  for  the  final 
score,  which  drove  the  nail  in  the  coffin  for 
St.  Mark's.  It  was  an  emotional  afternoon.  To 
everyone  training  for  the  repeat,  work  hard, 
play  harder.  Final  score:  21-7.  Final  record: 

9-0.  Hail  to  the  victors!

Despite  the  wind,  rain,  and  snow,  the 
AshburyCross-Country  Running  Team  had 
an  extraordinary  season.  With  one  of  our 
largest  and  most  dedicated  teams  to  date, 
the  team  trained  hard  and  showed  amazing 
results  at  the  OBE  and  National  Capital  Races. 
All  of  our  members  placed  within  the  top  25! 
Both  the  senior  bo\'s  and  midget  girls  teams 
both  competed  at  OFSAA,  which  was  held 
in  Toronto.  This  was  the  first  time  Ashbur\' 
ever  had  a  x-countr\'  team  place  for  OFSAA. 
We  ended  the  year  with  a  well-deserved 
runners'  meal  at  The  Hard  Rock  Cafe.  Thus, 
ha\'ing  our  best  season  to  date,  we  would 
like  to  thank  Mrs.  Holman  and  Ms.  Martel 
fortheirterrificcoaching,  support,  and  lead- 
ership. We  would  also  like  to  thank  and  wish 
the  best  of  luck  to  David  Roulston,  Justin 
Rocheleau,  Rod  Diaz,  and  Christian  Muller. 
This  year  paved  yet  another  great  path  for 
continued  successes  next  year.  (Ben  Barry)

The  tennis  season  started  off  with  the  annual  invitational 
tournaments.  Both  the  A  and  B  teams  played  well,  and  had  a 
postive  start  to  the  season.  The  B  team  qualified  in  boys 
singles,  boys  doubles  and  mixed  doubles  for  the  City  Cham- 
pionships. All  teams  played  very  well  and  advanced  to  the 
finals.  The  team  of  Bavidra  and  Charles  were  victorious  in 
boys  doubles,  Jon  and  Katrina  were  victorious  in  mixed 
doubles  and  Jon  was  the  runner  up  in  boys  sirigles.  The  team 
was  the  overall  boys  champions.  Congratulations  on  an 
excellent  season. 

The  A  team  qualified  the  entire  team  for  the  City  Champion- 
ships by  winning  the  qualifying  tournament.  In  the  champi- 
onships, we  placed  four  teams  in  the  five  possible  finals. 
Jacob  and  Natalie  were  mixed  doubles  champions,  Phillip 
and  Troy  were  the  boys  doubles  champions,  Kelley  and 
Jamie  were  the  runners  up  in  the  singles  categories.  The  team 
was  the  overall  City  Champions. 

Best  of  luck  and  thank  you  to  all  graduating  players.  (R. 
Holman,  coach)

The  Junior  Girls'  Soccer  team  enjoyed  a  highly 
competitive  season  this  term,  which  com- 
menced with  the  Indoor  Tournament  at 
Kingston  and  closed  with  the  Outdoor  at  Rich- 
mond .  Due  to  the  size  of  Ashburv,  the  team  was 
generally  outnumbered  and  outclassed  by  the 
teams  from  the  larger  schools  in  Tier  1.  How- 
ever, despite  some  early  defeats,  the  Ashbury 
team  was  quicklv  strengthened  by  the  level  of 
competition,  and  demonstrated  certain  charac- 
ter when  pla\'ing  against  the  odds.  Their  effort 
and  determination  was  rewarded  in  the  final 
tournament  when  an  exhausted  and  limping 
team  of  10,  and  no  substitutes,  pulled  off  the 
impossible,  winning  a  game  to  qualify  for  the 
playoffs! 

The  coaches  wish  to  acknowledge  and  con- 
gratulate every  player  for  her  contribution;  in 
particular,  Stephanie  Gaty  for  scoring  most  of 
our  goals,  Lauren  Power  (Capt.)  and  Caitlin 
Fullerton  for  winning  Most  Valuable  Player, 
and  Caroline  Welsh  and  Sophie  Duchesne  for 
winning  Most  Impro\'ed  Player.

Well,  what  can  I  say?  We  moved  up  to  division 
one  and  left  our  regular  season  undefeated. 
Unfortunately,  the  only  loss  we  had  came  in  the 
quarterfinals,  cutting  our  season  short.  But  we 
had  a  great  year  despite  our  loss.  Nicko  and 
Hardie.  World  Cup  Practices.  Nicko  with  his 
'not  quite  successfully  executed  moves'  (i.e. 
tripping  over  the  ball  and  landing  on  his  butt). 
A  couple  of  tournaments;  South  Carleton  -  one 
step  closer  to  the  ultimate  victory,  there's  al- 
ways next  year.  Alicia  kept  us  going  with  her 
'who  let  the  dogs  out!!'  chant.  Nick  made  us 
laugh  with  his  inane  comments  like  'unlucky,' 
'marveleous,'  and  'what  you  see.'  We'd  like  to 
wish  the  graduating  players  luck  in  the  future; 
Alicia,  Larissa,  Hayley,  Michelle,  Rieke,  and 
Vanessa.  All  that  is  left  to  say  is  'perfection.'

The  Junior  Boys'  Soccer  team  enjoyed  some  success  this  year,  but  also  suffe: 
some  disappointing  defeats.  Both  the  players  and  the  coaches  felt  the  team  v 
capableof  more,  but  missed  opportunities  and  inconsistent  performance pro\ 
too  costly,  and  qualification  for  the  plav-offs  was  not  to  be. 
The  team  had  recruited  a  sizeable  number  of  new  Grade  9  players  this  year  z 

looks  forward  to  next  season  when  it  will  be  stronger  and  more  experienced.  At  the  same  time,  we  bid  a  fond  farewell  tothegraduat 

plavers  who  contributed  to  our  successes  and  who  helped  de\elop  our  vounger  plavers. 

Charles  Lazaro  is  a  quiet  and  unassuming  plaver  who  made  a  significant  impact  during  two  games  when  he  put  his  powerful  s 

to  use  and  produced  excellent  goals.  He  could  always  be  relied  upon  for  his  positive  attitude  and  enthusiasm  for  the  game. 

Uros  Maksimovic  proxided  a  shining  example  to  the  younger  players  with  his  focus  and  serious  attitude  in  both  practices  and  garr 

He  was  alwavs  willing  to  examine  his  game  and  be  self-critical  -  a  rare  quality  at  this  level.  He  is  experienced  in  most  positions  on 

field,  but  his  strength  is  defense. 

Rasheed  Musa  proxided  the  backbone  to  the  team's  defense,  but  could  be  placed  in  any  position.  He  is  physically  strong  and  skillfi 

advanced  for  his  age,  and  can  motixate  others.  He  was  a  superior  player  who  offered  more  to  the  team  than  he  received.  He  had  h 

expectations  of  himself  and  his  fellow  teammates  and  helped  to  raise  the  level  of  play  in  others. 

Ian  Rutherforci  displayed  flashes  of  brilliance  this  year  with  his  speed  and  his  goals.  When  his  timing  is  right  and  he  anticipates 

play,  he  has  the  acceleration  to  beat  most  defenders  and  proxide  the  team  with  a  goal-scoring  opportunity.  Ian  showed  good  leaders 

as  one  of  the  graduating  players,  and  demonstrated  commitment  throughout  the  season. 

Pierre  Tipple  is  a  master  of  ball  control.  He  made  a  significant  contribution  as  stopper  by  gaining  possession  of  the  ball  and  stifl 

an  opposing  attack.  When  he  combined  this  with  a  succcessful  pass  to  his  forward  players,  he  created  some  of  our  best  counter-attac 

Pierre  has  an  infectious  passion  for  the  game,  which  was  a  positive  influence  in  others. 

1  wish  to  thank  these  players  for  all  their  hard  work  and  look  forward  to  following  their  sporting  careers 

through  the  senior  years.

The  Senior  Boys  Soccer  Team  unexpectedly  met  and 
burpassed  all  expectations  this  year  tollowing  the 
loss  of  almost  half  the  team  and  many  key  players  to 
graduation  last  year.  This,  however,  allowed  the 
younger  players  coming  up  from  the  Juni(.)r  Team 
and  tne  new  players  to  step  up,  which  they  did 
commendably.  Tne  team  actually  did  better  than 
last  year's  team,  making  it  to  the  quarterfinals  where 
we  lost  to  number-one  ranked  Lester  B.  f^earson.  We 
also  finished  third  overall  in  this  year's  C.A.I.S. 
tournament  held  at  Country  Day  School  in  Toronto. 
Overall,  it  was  a  great  year  filled  with  many  high- 
lights, including  Round  2  of  the  traditional  hotel 
beats  -  Tyler,  were  you  supposed  to  get  it  two  years 
in  a  row?]  would  like  to  extend  my  thanks,  on  behalf 
of  all  of  the  players,  to  Mr.  Hardie  and  Mr.  McKirdy 
for  their  endless  encouragement  and  commitment 
to  the  team.  Thanks  to  all  tne  graduating  players  for 
their  hard  work  over  the  years  and  good  luck  to  next 
year's  team.

Wow,  what  a  year  Ashbury  Senior  Girls  had. 

Few  were  the  times  Sparks  and  Hugh  got  mad. 

Winning  so  many  tournaments  and  games. 

Even  reporters  were  mentioning  our  names. 

We  had  caring  fans  out  on  so  many  days. 

To  clap  and  to  cheer  for  our  beautiful  plays. 

Our  opponents  were  weak,  until  the  end  of  the  season. 

Mind  you,  we  kept  winning,  but  for  a  different  reason. 

Before  we  played  Glebe,  no  word  of  a  lie. 

We  were  so  pumped  up,  1  couldn't  help  but  cry. 

We  wanted  that  win  so  very  very  bad. 

And  when  we  did,  it  made  us  oh  so  glad. 

We  qualified  for  AAA  OFSAA,  a  historical  feat. 

We  deserved  to  be  there  and  we  were  ready  to  compete. 

It  all  came  to  an  end  though,  on  one  Friday  night. 

When  Kate  Poulin  went  down,  and  we  lost  the  fight. 

Fifth  place  in  the  province  did  make  us  proud. 

But  knowing  it  was  over,  made  us  cry  out  loud. 

Since  only  'Lish  and  1  won't  be  back  next  year, 

Ashbury  will  reign  again,  opponents,  beware. 

It's  been  a  great  time,  we'll  never  forget. 

The  memories  we  have,  on  that  you  can  bet. 

I  love  all  you  girls,  Mr.  Sparks  and  Hugh  too. 

You  guys  are  the  best,  and  I'll  really  miss  you. 


This  year's  Junior  Boy's  Basketball  team  was  faced  with 
many  difficulties  from  the  start,  but  tl"iroughout  the  season, 
performed  admirably.  Coached  by  Mr.  Holman  and  Mr. 
Moore,  the  team  managed  a  moderately  successful  1-10 
record.  We  participated  in  a  tournament  at  Holy  Trinity, 
although  did  not  adx'ance  substantially.  With  man\'  players 
injured  and  other  prior  commitments,  a  few  nanies  stood  out 
and  played  well  consistently,  game  in  game  out.  Alex  Patrick 
and  Ai"ithon\-  De  Jesus  were  among  these  t\^es  of  players. 
Next  year,  the  team  is  sure  to  mature  and  flourish  after  tliis 
year's  difficult  (at  times)  learning  experience.  We  would  like 
to  thank  the  fans  that  supported  us  tliroughout  the  season. 
Howe\'er,  most  thanks  should  be  directed  towards  the  coaches 
who  put  up  with  us  tliroughout  the  \'ear  aiid  were  patient 
\vith  us.  Good  luck  next  year  to  the  graduating  players  Chris 
Colton,  Alex  Patrick,  Arithony  De  Jesus,  Shamir  Bali  and 
Nick  Gauthier.

The  Senior  Men's  Basketball  team  had  a  fun  and  successful 
year.  We  survived  in  a  league  of  giants  with  superb  three- 
point  shooting  by  Greg  Seppala,  Chris  McGuire,  Greg 
Ross,  and  Eric  JoKnson.  With  the  best  coach  in  Canada,  it 
is  hard  to  compete  with  any  team.  For  the  eight  seniors, 
this  was  the  most  fun  of  all.  Unfortunately  our  chemistry 
never  clicked,  but  all  in  all  we  liked  each  other.  Our  fan 
support  was  a  little  lack  luster  (The  few  girls  obviously 
came  to  see  Jon  flex  his  muscles),  but  those  of  you  who  did 
make  it  to  our  games,  thank  you.  The  beginning  of  the  year 
was  scary,  playing  a  team  with  3  Ontario  players  one  of 
which  was  7  feet  tall.  It  ended  all  to  soon  but  we  gave  it  our 
all,  and  know  we're  better  than  Ridgemont.  Good  luck  to 
next  year's  team.  Good  luck  on  the  recruiting  process. 
Look  for  Seps  on  the  National  in  5  years  (Give  it  everything 
you've  got).  Dave,  you'll  figure  out  the  inbounds  plays 
sometime.  Chris  you  should  be  a  coach  someday.  Lee,  "I  m 
sorry  coach".  Aaron,  don't  let  the  hard  boys  hurt  you. 
Nick,  Army's  better  than  Navy.  Eric,  you've  at  least  gotta 
try  out  for  the  Carolina  team.  Jon,  maybe  can  follow  your 
brother's  footsteps  at  Carleton.  What's  that?  1  for  32  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year,  "shut  up,  I'm  trying  to  shoot."  (T- 
Bone)  46  turnovers  against  St.  Pats,  then  only  losing  by  16. 
Fresh's  t  -  being  Road  Kill.  Sp  to  Assist  Ratio.  Jon-Jon  Land

Graduating  players:  Nick  Kramer,  Jon  Petredis,  Greg 
Seppala,  Dave  Kilgour,  Chris  Ruddy,  Lee  Greenberg,  Aaron 
Barth,  and  Erick  Johnson.  All  the  Thanks  to  Coach  Sparks 
for  being  leader  and  more  importantly  teaching  things  we 
won't  learn  in  class  out  of  a  book.

The  Ashbury  hockey  team  out  did  e\'erybody's  expectations  this 
year  with  a  3-6  record.  The  squad  lost  a  close  1"  round  plavoff  series 
to  Sir  Robert  Borden.  The  team  also  had  an  impressive  second  place 
finish  at  the  UCC  tournament  (not  bad  for  a  team  that  never  won  a 
game  in  the  tournament  in  any  pre\ious  \-ear).  Thanks  to  Mr.  Keyes 
and  Jason  for  putting  up  with  a  team  with  so  many  stars.  These  stars 
included  Rob  "I'll  play  coach,  my  arm  will  grow  back"  Prior  and 
Matt  "I'm  still  smiling"  Mendell,  and  of  course,  representing  for  the 
boarders,  Jacob  "I  promise  a  goal"  Fortier.  Special  thanks  to  Matt 
Lyman  for  coming  to  UCC  and  stopping  the  puck,  and  Showtime 
for  the  sports  nutrition  tips.  The  last  thanks  go  out  to  the  training 
staff,  Andrew  and  Postman.  Season  highlights  would  include  the 
game  that  Postman  recei\-ed  a  brutal  blow  and  was  listed  day  to  day 
on  the  injury  report.  Good  luck  to  next  year's  team  from  the 
graduating  players,  Tait,  Jacob,  Jamie,  and  Justin.

The  Ashbury  Curling  Team  had  a 
very  illustrious  season.  With  lim- 
ited experience,  the  team  surprised 
many  by  winning  five  games 
throughout  the  season.  (Three  of 
which  were  against  the  redoubt- 
able Nepean  and  St.  Matt's  Girls 
Team).  Season  highlights  include 
the  team  going  to  the  Ontario 
Men's  Finals  (to  watch)  and  chal- 
lenging ourselves  by  playing  short 
handed  against  the  number  one 
rated  team.  The  team  would  like 
to  thank  Coach  Wearring  and  our 
veteran  graduating  players,  Nick 
'the  Skip'  Spooner,  Geoff  'beemer' 
Walker,  David  'Robo'  Roulston,

Ashbury  Rowing  returned  to  the  competitive 
arena  this  year  with  many  wonderful  successes. 
In  the  fall,  men's  and  women's  crews  performed 
admirably  at  the  Head  of  Rideau,  the  Head  of 
the  Trent,  and  the  University  Championships 
in  Montreal.  Winter  training  followed,  with 
more  medals  at  the  Brockville  Ergometer  Cham- 
pionship in  February.  When  the  boats  returned 
to  the  water  in  spring,  the  women's  four  won  a

peted successfully  at  the  national  rowing  cham-

The  Junior  Boys  Rugby  Team  had  yet  another  successful 
season  this  vear,  finishing  the  regular  season  with  a  record 
of  4-2.  With  emotional  wins  over  Osgoode,  St.  Peter's, 
Lisgar  and  Gloucester,  and  heartbreaking  losses  against 
Hillcrest  and  Colonel  By,  the  regular  season  was  full  of 
highs  and  lows.  The  Team  managed  to  finish  the  regular 
season  second  in  the  East  and  moved  on  to  the  playoffs.  In 
the  quarter  finals,  the  team  handily  defeated  Lisgar  for  the 
second  time  in  10  days.  The  Team  moved  on  to  face 
Hillcrest  in  the  Semifinals.  Unfortunately  the  end  result 
was  the  same  as  it  was  in  the  first  meeting,  and  Hillcrest 
came  out  on  top.  Despite  ending  the  season  on  a  down 
note,  the  team  should  be  commended  for  an  impressive 
season  as  the  majority  of  players  had  never  played  before. 
A  special  thanks  to  coaches  Andreas  Beltran,  Chris  De 
Jesus,  and  Alex  Mintsioulis  for  all  of  their  time  and  hard

The  senior  MEN's  rugby  squad  was  underestimated  until  the 
results  proved  otherwise.  With  a  diet  of  Wendy's  and  Energy 
To  Go  bars,  we  demonstrated  our  athletic  prowess  in  mul- 
tiple distant  tourneys  this  season.  The  season  began  prema- 
turely and  existence  was  questionable  due  to  an  average  of  14 
people  per  practice,  7  of  whom  had  never  played.  At  our  first 
tourney  in  Port  Hope,  we  embarrassed  other  schools  and 
came  away  victorious.  (Ten  thu-thu  thue  Bananaw)  The 
season  had  come  and  gone,  and  the  wins  had  piled  up, 
especially  against  LBP.  At  Eastern  OFSSA,  we  represented 
our  school  well  and  qualified  for  OFSSA,  where  we  all  had  a 
great  time! 

Injuries:  3  broken  noses,  2  bad  shoulders,  2  busted  legs,  1 
sore  pinky,  a  case  of  ear  rickets,  Fred's  ego,  everyone's  groin

the  season  at  the  Toimwi  de  volley-ball  Franco-Cite,  where 
they  won  some  sets,  and  gained  some  match  experience. 
The  team  then  earned  three  victories  in  this  league,  and 
made  it  to  the  quarter-finals  of  the  East  Division.  The 
roster,  abl\-  captained  bv  middle  plaver  Alex  Young,  in-

The  junior  girls  volleyball  team  had  an  exciting  and  suc- 
cessful season  in  2000.  We  finished  in  first  place  in  our 
division,  and  placed  very  well  in  several  strong  tourna- 
ments. We  had  a  tough  final  match  in  the  East  Conference 
Championships,  and  finished  second.  We  would  like  to 
thank  our  captain.  Lacy,  for  her  tremendous  leadership, 
and  all  the  other  talented  players  on  the  team.  Best  of  luck 
to  those  who  are  moving  up  to  senior  next  season  and  to 
those  remaining. 

Thanks  for  a  great  season.

The  Ashbury  Senior  Girls  completed  another  suc- 
cessful season  this  past  year,  establishing  them- 
selves as  Eastern  Conference  Champions,  and 
winning  their  third  straight  National  Capital  AA 
Championship. 

Our  preseason  started  well  in  the  fall,  when  a  split 
squad  of  seniors  bolstered  by  several  junior  age 
players  finished  second  at  the  Merivale  tourna- 
ment. The  season  began  in  earnest  in  January.  Our 
league  record  stood  at  7-3  when  playoffs  began. 
This  included  a  somewhat  startling  5-0  road  record 
(15-0  in  games),  proving  that  the  team  could  play 
anywhere  without  fear.  Our  playoff  run  started 
by  defeating  Lester  B.  Pearson  (3-0),  Cairine  Wil- 
son (3-1),  and  division  first  seed  Immaculata  (3-1). 
The  conference  final  pitted  Ashbury  against  pe- 
rennial powerhouse  Samuel  Genest,  who  were  in 
their  third  straight  trip  to  the  finals.  Things  started 
well  as  we  grabbed  an  8-4  lead  in  the  first  game. 
Disaster  struck  as  All-Star  and  team  MVP  Chris- 
tina Burns  tore  a  knee  ligament,  ending  her  sea- 
son. However,  most  improved  player  Alexa  Young 
stepped  into  her  spot  to  save  the  day  with  some 
crafty  hitting  and  murderous  blocking  as  we  pre- 
vailed 3-1  to  win  the  Eastern  Conference.  We  came 
up  short  in  the  city  finals,  losing  to  Earl  of  March, 
a  team  with  a  heavy  investment  in  club  players. 
Several  weeks  earlier,  the  team  had  qualified  for 
OFSAA  for  the  third  straight  year,  in  a  new  tour- 
nament format.  We  entered  as  the  region's  second 
seed,  but  moved  up  in  ranking  by  defeating 
Osgoode  (2-0)  in  the  semi-finals  and  Cairine  Wil- 
son (2-0)  in  the  final.  At  OFSAA  we  were  once 
again  competitive,  but  were  without  our  two  all- 
stars,  Christina  (injury)  and  Danielle  (travel),  and 
failed  to  get  into  the  top  bracket.  All  in  all,  another 
very  successful  season.

For  the  second  straight  year,  our  Ashbury  base- 
ball team  did  not  lose  a  game  that  we  played 
during  the  six-game  regular  season.  Going  into 
the  playoffs  our  goal  was  to  win  the  champion- 
ship and  avenge  our  loss  in  the  finals  last  year. 
In  the  quarterfinals  we  came  back  to  win  a 
"thriller"  in  extra  innings  against  Brookfield  - 
keeping  our  season  alive.  A  few  days  later  we 
cruised  to  an  easy  12-2  win  over  Immaculata  in 
the  semi-finals.  We  were  then  off  to  Jetform 
Park  to  play  for  the  city  championship.  We 
started  the  game  off  on  the  wrong  foot  -  down 
6-1  by  the  end  of  the  4th.  After  narrowing  the 
game  to  6-3  we  headed  into  the  final  inning. 
After  squandering  back  to  back  singles  because 
of  poor  base  running,  we  rallied  to  score  1  run 
before  flying  out  to  deep  center  field.  Unfortu- 
nately it  was  too  little  too  late.  Despite  the 
disappointing  finish,  we  had  a  tremendous 
season.  Our  veterans  Aaron,  Eric,  Rob,  Chris, 
Joe  and  Will  played  well  all  season  while  our 
younger  stars  in  Tim  H.,  Alex,  Pete  and  "Pea- 
nut" (with  his  fence  climbing  antics)  gave  us  a 
glimpse  of  what  to  expect  in  the  future.  Great 
thanks  is  due  to  Coach  Moore,  Coach  Coles  and 
Coach  Matty  Baxter  for  leading  us  through  yet 
another  fantastic  season.  Best  of  luck  in  the 
future  to  Eric  Johnson,  Drew  Robinson  (#1!) 
and  Aaron  Barth,  our  graduating  players.

The  2000  edition  of  the  track  team  enjoyed  much  success 
during  our  season.  Our  returning  coach,  the  valiant  Mrs. 
Holman  was  joined  by  newcomers  Ms.  Martel  and  Mr. 
Marshall.  Together,  they  provided  us  with  inspiration,  drive, 
determination  and  unparalleled  support.  The  season  started 
in  early  May,  with  the  first  round  of  qualifiers  a  few  weeks 
later.  Eventually,  those  who  fought  off  the  competition  were 
off  to  eastern  Ontario  finals,  and  to  the  Ontario  finals  in 
London.  While  there  were  many  spectacular  individual  per- 
formances, the  team  collectively  established  one  (dubious) 
record:  it  took  us  two  hours  to  set  up  our  tent.  Some  days,  we 
braved  bone-chilling  temperatures,  violent  winds  (that  blew 
our  tent  down)  and  scorching  heat.  The  season  was  capped 
off  with  a  lovely  pool  party  and  BB-Q.  Overall,  everyone  had 
a  highly  enjoyable  experience.  Once  again,  thank  you  \'ery 
much  to  our  amazing  coaches. 

Congratulations  to  everyone;  you  all  did  a  fantastic  job.  Good 
luck  to  graduating  team  members  Justin  Rocheleau,  Rod 
Diaz,  Dave  Roulston  and  Matthew  Lyman.

What  better  vear  to  graduate  in  than  the  vear  20001  This  ga\"e  us 
the  determination  to  make  our  graduation  one  to  remember! 
Vicky  Wilgress  was  the  dedicated  faculty  advisor  who  thought 
nothing  of  giving  up  time  to  help  the  grads.  Student  support  was 
unfaiUng  and  overwhelming,  a  vital  part  of  this  committee. 
There  were  three  principle  events  that  spanned  the  year  and 
kept  the  Grad  Committee  members  well  occupied. 
Our  first  e\'ent  of  the  season  was  the  unforgettable  and  original 
"Dress  to  Impress"  (see  page  40)  Video  Dance.  While  the  "dress- 
ing to  impressing"  was  lacking,  there  was  an  abundance  of 
videos.  Everybody  got  "Jiggy"  with  Will  and  "Mamboed"  with 
Lou.  We  crowned  an  impressi\'e  Royal  Famly  and  enjoyed  the 
company  of  Elmwood  girls.  One  down,  two  to  go. 
The  Spring  Semi-Formal  jumped  through  two  terms  and  thor- 
oughly confused  everybody,  but  was  a  great  success!  Combined 
with  International  Day,  students  were  able  to  really  waltz  the 
night  away. 

We  look  forward  to  June  17th  2000  for  the  day  and  the  evening 
that  captures  all  the  thrills  and  frills  of  an  Ashburv  Diploma  and 
the  unknown  challenges  and  excitements  that  lie  ahead  for  all  of 
us  in  our  future.  We  would  like  to  thank  all  our  fellow  classmates 
who  helped  make  this  our  millennium.  Best  of  luck  to  next  years 
Grads! 

We'll  be  back  for  reports  .  .  .

This  year  Ashbury  College  formed  a  coalition  with  Elmwood  to 
participate  in  the  Canada  FIRST  Robotic  Games.  Approximately 
30  students  from  both  schools  eagerly  undertook  the  challenge  of 
building  a  hockey-playing  robot.  In  addition  the  team  docu- 
mented their  progress  in  a  video,  a  written  binder,  and  a  web  page 
and  created  a  short  video  documenting  a  significant  Canadian 
achievement.  The  8  weeks  assigned  to  this  project  passed  very 
quickly  but  when  the  time  came  everything  was  finished  and  we 
were  all  very  proud  of  what  had  been  done.  19  of  these  students 
left  for  Hamilton  on  the  morning  of  March  2"''.  When  they  arrived 
everyone  was  swept  up  in  the  incredible  energy  of  the  event. 
After  a  day  of  testing,  practice  and  preparation  the  heats  began. 
The  first  six  heats  were  very  successful  earning  us  a  playoff  berth. 
When  the  dust  finally  settled  at  the  end  of  the  day  the  Ashbury/ 
Elmwood  team  placed  a  very  respectable  3''^  especially  for  a  first 
year  team.  The  team  would  like  to  thank  all  their  sponsors  who 
made  this  possible:  Nortel  Networks,  Ashbury  College,  Elmwood, 
Calian,  Corel,  Cognos,  Shad  Valley,  The  Fireplace  Center  and 
Patio  Store,  and  Infinity  Technology  Services.  We  would  also  like 
to  thank  the  National  Research  Council  for  providing  us  with 
access  to  a  machine  shop  and  Mr.  Taylor  for  his  assistance  to  the 
design  team.

The  Ashbury  Investors  Club  had  a  very  energetic  99-00 
season.  It  was  a  record  breaking  year  all  around.  We 
experienced  the  greatest  amount  of  members,  portfolio 
size,  and  overall  growth.  It  was  also  a  first  for  the  club  to 
have  their  own  website  where  members  could  have  an  up 
to  the  minute  quote  of  how  their  money  was  doing.  The 
basic  philosophy  of  the  club  this  year  was  to  adopt  a  safer 
approach  for  steady,  long-term  gains.  To  achieve  this  we 
invested  in  Toronto  Dominion  Bank,  on  the  TSE,  and  two 
mutual  funds,  Merrill  Lynch  Institutional  Holdings  Fund, 
and  a  Global  Technology  Fund.  However,  we  found  these 
stocks  to  have  anything  but  slow  movement.  TDjumped 
by  10%  to  20%  in  a  one  week  period,  while  our  Global  Tech 
Fund  skyrocketed  to  over  60%  growth  in  just  under  five 
months.  I  would  like  to  thank  the  contributors  of  this

The  band  and  choir  this  year  performed  two  great  con- 
certs, in  the  fall  and  in  the  spring.  We  performed  a  wide 
range  of  music,  from  Brahms  to  folk  songs,  to  "Cats"  and 
"Grease."  Jazz  band  was  as  popular  as  ever  and  chamber 
choir  had  even  more  members  than  in  previous  years.  As 
always,  Mr.  Tanod  was  a  formidable  director  and  man- 
aged to  wade  through  the  sea  of  rehearsals  and  classes.  He 
even  managed  a  quick  and  intense  tour  of  Austria.  The  trip 
was  amazing  and  we  were  able  to  visit  places  as  well  as 
enjoy  the  experience  of  Europe.  The  chance  to  attend  as 
well  as  participate  in  some  amazing  concerts  was  a  rare 
one  of  which  we  took  full  advantage.  From  simple  tuning 
in  concerts  to  "The  Rite  of  Spring,"  the  music  department 
offers  a  unique  and  memorable  way  to  explore  music  as  art 
and  more.  Thanks  also  to  Miss  Carleton  who  organized  us 
efficiently  and  patiently.  Again,  thank  you  Mr.  Tanod. 
Your  efforts  are  acknowledged  every  time  we  pick  up  our 
instruments.

When  I  think  of  the  Ashbury  Community  Service  Program 
this  past  year,  two  moments  stand  out  for  me  beyond  the 
positive  interactions  each  week  with  students  and  student 
leaders.  In  September,  I  was  privileged  to  attend  the  Stop 
Racism  Fashion  and  Talent  Show  on  Parliament  Hill.  The 
show  was  a  fast-paced,  multi-cultural  event  organized  and 
put  together  by  Ashbury's  Ben  Barry.  Ben's  enthusiasm, 
energy,  direction,  and  countless  hours  ensured  the  success  of 
the  evening.  Well  done!  Early  in  the  first  term,  Ian  Matyas 
expressed  an  interest  in  performing  his  community  service 
with  the  neighbourhood  police  in  his  community.  This  re- 
quired meetings,  information  sessions,  application  forms, 
references,  and  training.  Ian  never  became  discouraged  as  he 
pursued  his  goal.  lan's  determination  to  make  a  difference 
took  his  contribution  beyond  the  fulfillment  of  a  require- 
ment. It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  hear  the  many  positive 
comments  about  our  students  from  the  various  agencies 
where  students  serve  the  community.  These  young  people 
are  exemplary  role  models  for  their  peers.  (Barbara  Bradley)

Rehearsals  began  in  October  1999  for  Theatre  Ashbury's  20"'  anniversary  production,  "Joan  of  Lorraine"  by  Max\ 
Anderson,  the  classic  story  of  Joan  of  Arc,  with  a  twist.  This  play-within-a-play  documented  and  paralleled  the  conflil 
between  the  life  of  Joan  and  the  New  York  theatre  troup  producing  a  play  about  her.  This  year  also  saw  the  continuatif 
of  what  is  quickly  becoming  a  great  Ashbury  tradition:  an  exchange  with  the  Holderlin-Gymnasium  in  Heidelbel 
Germany.  The  cast  and  crew  of  "Joan"  were  the  second  Theatre  Ashbury  cast  to  spend,  two  weeks  in  March  performij 
overseas.  The  trip  to  Germany  is  certainly  something  we  will  never  forget.  Strong  friendships  were  forged  and  the  be 
for  the  exciting  prospect  of  return  visits  was  initiated.  Having  to  assemble  our  set,  redesign  the  lighting  and  re-block 
entire  play  in  a  day  and  a  half  was  an  incredible  test  of  how  strong  we  were  as  a  cast.  The  two  performances  at  the  Holderl 
were  both  sold  out  and  extremely  well  received.  The  third  of  our  performances  was  at  the  Karlstor-Bahnhof,  a  professiojf 
theatre  in  a  converted  train  station,  was  considered  a  favorite  by  some.  The  atmosphere  of  being  in  a  professional  tl 
was  amazing,  and  e\'en  though  the  show  did  not  go  quite  as  smoothly  as  we  would  ha\^e  liked,  we  enjoyed  the  challer 
of  having  to  solve  the  problems  that  arose  on  the  fly.  This  year  had  the  added  bonus  of  touring  through  France  to  soJ 
of  the  more  important  sites  in  the  history  of  Joan,  especially  her  birthplace  of  Domremy .  From  making  chainmail  and  bo^ 
to  birthday  wedgies  to  the  Noodle  Dance,  impressions  on  the  bus  and,  of  course,  the  "Thong  Song",  1999-2000  was  a : 
year  for  Theatre  Ashbury.  We  can  be  proud.

Getting  outside  and  being  active  is  a  great  way  to  find  out 
about  yourself  and  your  fellow  students.  This  year,  a 
wonderful  group  of  students  hiked,  oriented,  learned  first 
aid,  exercised,  paddled,  portao;ed,  camped  and  climbed. 
Some  students  cooked,  argued,  burned  food,  ignited  stoves 
and  vicinities,  fended  off  racoons,  tested  the  waterproof- 
ness  of  garbage  bags,  investigated  the  thermal  properties 
of  wet  cotton  shirts,  savoured  trail  mix  or  limped  along  in 
fashionable  shoes. 

We  glimpsed  wicked  nocturnal  eyes  and  heard  the  insis- 
tent trill  of  racoons  that  roam  the  Gatineau  park  in  search 
of  slopp\'  campers.  We  learned  that  challenges  can  be 
relaxing  and  that  relaxation  is  sometimes  challenging.  In  a 
world  of  fast  change  and  expensive  luxury,  we  learned 
that  a  waterproof  tarp,  some  rope  and  ski  poles  make  a 
haven  from  tne  rain.  A  thick  handhold  on  the  side  of  a  cliff 
feels  like  a  gift  from  God. 

Working  together  in  a  positive  way  gets  the  job  done  —  and 
create  smiles.  Canned  food  is  heavy  food.  Wool  socks  are 
warm.  Small  cliffs  are  prettv  big.  A  school  year  is  pretty 
short. 
Next  vear  will  be  even  better.

International  Day  2000  was  bigger  and  better  than  ever 
before!  This  was  the  first  year  that  Ashbury  declared  a 
theme  for  International  Day:  Human  Rights. 
The  morning  began  with  a  musical  performance  by 
1999  Lilith  Fair  singer,  Laura  Langstaff,  which  was 
followed  by  an  opening  address  by  Paula  du  Hamel. 
The  keynote  adciress  was  given  by  the  Hon.  Mme. 
Justice  Louise  Arbour.  Following  were  presentations 
from  the  former  director  of  Multiculturalism  for  the 
director  of  Canada,  Erica  Claus,  and  Stephanie  Coward 
of  Amnesty  International.  Students  then  went  to  their 
homerooms  where  they  participated  in  stimulating  dis- 
cussions on  the  theme  of  Human  Rights,  moderated  by 
World  Issues  OAC  students  and  World  Affairs  stu- 
dents. 

The  afternoon  moved  away  from  the  classroom  aca- 
demic approach  to  the  cultural  aspect  of  the  day.  Stu- 
dents organized  20  food  booths  from  various  countries. 
The  International  show  followed  and  it  was  filled  with 
dance  music  and  a  fashion  show.  Thanks  to  everyone 
who  participated  and  made  this  event  possible.

At  long  last,  Toronto  with  its  ne\'er  ending  queues  at 
Immigration,  and  the  final  stage  of  our  journey  began.  All 
along  the  Toronto-Ottawa  road  with  its  spectacular 
colourful  countryside,  tension  was  mounting.  Eventually, 
Ashbury  College  was  sighted,  and  student  welcomed  l5y 
their  Canadian  families.  The  adventure  had  begun. 

From  that  moment  on,  everything  was  a  varied  program  of 
cultural  activities  and  visits,  giving  us  an  overall  impres- 
sion of  Canadian  history  and  life,  arts  and  traditions. 

However,  it  was  not  all  work  and  no  play-  Both  weekends 
were  spent  with  our  host  families,  visiting  other  towns  or 
participating  in  tvpical  Canadian  pastimes  such  as  rafting, 
ice-hockey  matches  or  x'isiting  cottages. 

The  host  families  played  an  extremely  important  role  in 
making  the  exchange  a  success.  The  teachers  involved 
were  Mr.  Stojanovic,  Mrs.  Edwards  and  Mrs.  Rajani.  Also, 
many  other  staff  members  gave  up  their  time  willingly. 

We  take  to  Spain  the  warmth  and  hospitality  of  Canada 
and  its  people,  and  know  that  a  very  important  and  long- 
lasting  friendship  has  started.

Hey  preppies  ....  some  of  the  best  memories  I  have  from 
the  "willenium"  are  the  many  hours  spent  watching  and 
analyzing  "Save  By  The  Bell"  and  "Golden  Girls'^.  We 
truly  believe  that  this  club  helped  bridge  the  gap  between 
all  ages  present  at  our  school,  from  grade  nine  to  OAC. 
Every  Wednesday  at  1:05  ten  to  twenty  loyal  patrons 
showed  up  and  made  this  club  as  "phat"  as  Bayside  or 
Shady  Palms.  The  unspoken  rivalry  betw^een  the  Bayside 
(SBTBC)  and  Valley  (The  Beatles  Club)  made  the  club  a 
success.  For  this  we  thank  Calvin.  It's  ironic  that  as  we,  the 
founders  of  the  sacred  and  prestigious  cult,  graduate,  so 
does  the  class  of  "Save  By  The  Bell:  The  New  Class".  Some 
memories  include  the  time  Dimitry  Yashin  spoke  of  the 
Russian  equivalent  to  "Saved  By  The  Bell"  called  "Sputnik 
in  Space."  And  who  can  forget  watching  the  movie  "Ha- 
waiian Vacation,"  or  the  "  A&E  Biography"  on  Estell  Getty. 
Thanks  Matt  Salvotore,  and  Jacob  Forti'er  for  helping  me 
start  this  wonderful  organization.  I  would  also  like  to 
thank  Mike  Sallot  for  helping  cope  with  illiteracy  (My 
hidden  shame).  For  all  the  members  who  missed  the  photo 
. . .  too  bad.  These  created  memories  that  will  last  a  lifetime.

A  little  better  all  the  time/ 
(It  can't  get  no  worse)" 

And  so  ends  the  first  year  of  the  Ashbury  Beatles  Club,  the 
first  of  its  kind  in  the  history  of  Ashbury  and  the  only  such 
organization  in  our  nation's  capital.  Such  a  prestigious 
achievement  didn't  come  without  a  little  help  from  our 
friends.  Thank  you  to  Mr.  Varley  for  taking  us  seriously 
(well,  almost)  and  letting  us  continue.  Mr.  Penton,  thank  you 
for  disregarding  your  concern  towards  the  legitimacy  of^the 
club,  ancf  for  supervising.  Most  of  all,  thank  you  to  our  group 
of  semi-interested  students,  whose  apathy  continues  to  as- 
tound us.  To  each  of  you;  The  Ballous  -  our  backbone;  Emily

-  the  Monkees  can  NOT  be  compared  to  the  Beatles;  Dan  -

ripping-off  our  ideas.  Thanks;  Ricky  -  visit  soon,  buddy!  Best

,s  was  the  case  last  year,  another  brilliant  session  of  L' ALTERNATIVE 
OFFEE  HOUSE  has  yet  again  impressed  the  Ashbury  public  and 
:ored  a  truly  major  success!  It  has  been  a  wonderful  evening  for  an 
vent  that  celebrated  its  10""  edition.  Indeed,  the  adventure  originated 
3  years  ago!  Among  the  performers  were  Ian  Matyas  and  Aidan 
hompson,  Masaki  .  .  .  ,  Ewan  and  the  rest  of  the  band,  Matthew 
alvatore  and  Patrick  Glinsky,  Amanda  Bon  and  Michelle  Taggart, 
ndrew  . . .  Paul  Benney,  Sandy  Johnston,  Adam  Azzabi  and  Soraya 
zzabi,  both  performing  original  and  classical  scores  on  piano.  Pia 
lastromonaco  and  Chad  .  .  .  performing  their  mostly  original  and 
naginative  material.  Also,  an  impressive  hip  hop  band  under  the 
irection  of  Dylan  Argument  managed  to  perform  before  an  hypno- 
sed  audience.  Christina  Brentzel  also  performed  a  long  and  fascinat- 
ig  original  for  which  she  received  a  standing  ovation  as  Adam 
zzabi  did  the  year  before.  At  the  end,  words  of  thanks  and  gratitude 
"lould  go  to  M.  Marc- Andre  Pelletier,  who  has  been  the  producer  of 
ALTERNATIVE  COFFEE  HOUSE  for  ten  years  as  well  as  this  year 
dition  of  L'ALTERNATIVE  2000,  and  also  to  Andrew  Magnus, 
shbury  College  School  Captain  and  this  year's  Director  of  coffee 
ouse,  competently  seconded  by  Shan  Pandher  as  Assistant  Director 
nd  Aidan  Thompson  Technical  Director,  and  the  whole  coffee  house 
rganizing  committee.  Finally,  people  from  the  cafe,  servers  under 
le  direction  of  Jenn  Bitner  and  Kalessy  Laserre,  and  security  crew 
ad  by  Shan  Pandher  as  well  as  the  school  authorities  and  all  the 
Limerous  others  who  have  spared  their  time  to  the  establishment  and 
ssurance  of  this  year's  triumph.  As  M.  Pelletier  stated  since  year  one, 
ALTERNATIVE  has  always  been  a  stage  offered  to  students  for 
lem  to  express  themselves  through  what  they  like,  through  what 
"ley  love:  poetry  and  music.  Thank  you  to  all  for  making  it  happening 
)r  ten  years  and  years  to  come.

Jambo!  Habari  gani? 
Wow,  almost  four  years  at  this 
school.  I  had  never  imagined  I 
would  be  graduating  in  Canada, 
but  I  am...  I  wonder  what's  next?  I 
guess  over  these  years  I'xe  learned 
an  Incredible  amount  of  new  things 
in  this  countr)',  which  have  been 
quite...  interesting.  It's  been  pretty 
good,  and  I  have  many  good 
memories.  I  thank  God  for  giving 
me  the  opportunity  to  go  to  such  a 
wealthy  school.  I  also  want  to  thank 
everyone  who's  helped  me  during 
this  time.  Special  thanks  to:  cat, 
Omar,  mike,  bones,  geez,  grrig,

mv  turn  to  bid  Ashbury  farewell. 
Afthougli  my  time  here  has  come 
to  a  quick  end  1  know  the  memories 
will  last  forever:  Gr  9-  surviving 
Tamara,  wonderbars,  the  UG;  Gr 
10-  pigman,  Kenji;  Gr  11-  health 
class:  long  dump,  discum;beowulf 
on  ice;  Gr  12-  lunch  club,  hey  Napes; 
AVE  not  B A VE;  Gr  13  was  amazmg: 
spares,  spares  and  2  more  spares, 
countdown  in  History,  the  hot 
chocolate  machine;  Heaven  on 
earth,  saunas  w/  ML,  a  crush  that 
materialized,  hey  CB  who's  the 
Devil?  eyeliner  issues,  GR  AD  TRIP 
was  the  best  time  ever:  animacion, 
separacion,  excellente!,  PUNTa 
Cana,  Ravintolat!  To  all  my  friends 
who  have  come  &  gone:  1  luv  y'all: 
AD,  ML,  NC,  RW,  AM,  DP,  JB,  RD, 
AN,  NK,  KW,  JB,  KB,  VVV,  LO, 
A  V,  J  Y.  Thanks  to  all  of  my  teachers 
especially  RP  MAV  PC  &  LL.  To 
my  family,  particularly  my  parents, 
thank  you  for  all  of  your  love  & 
support.  Good  luck  &  best  wishes 
to  GRADS  of  2000  &  remember 
"Celebrate  we  will  because  life  is 
short  but  sweet  for  certain...." 


Things  1  will  never  forget:  4th 
Quarters  -  Or  coach  Grisco's 
yelling.  DOUG!!!!!  Dining  Hall 
Food  -  if  you  can  call  it  that  -  how 
do  the  boarders  survive?  Seeing 
raw  eggs  being  eaten,  and 
somebody  in  a  speedo  for 
announcements.  The  culture  shock 
on  the  first  day :  uniforms,  everyone 
holding  doors,  virtually  no 
swearing.  It  sure  wasn't  like  public 
school.  What  an  experience  to  go  to 
Ashbury,  even  if  it  was  just  for  one 
year.  There  are  too  many  people  to 
thank  individually  so  1  won't  even 
try.  What  I  want  to  do  instead  is 
remind  the  entire  class  of  2000  of 
what  an  amazing  school  they've 
had,  for  however  long  they've  been 
here.  Very  few  schools  have  a 
student  body  made  up  of  so  many 
intelligent,  well-spoken,  cosmo- 
politan, and  athletic  people.  It's  too 
bad  thatsomepeopledidn'trealize 
this.  Finally  thanks  go  out  to  all  the 
sta  ff  and  teachers  for  actually  caring 
and  to  my  parents  for  paying  for 
this  little  endeavor  and  putting  up 
with  me  these  past  18  years.

So  here  I  am  in  the  middle  of  this 
place  and  time  I  have  anticipated 
for  so  long. ..finally,  lost  inside  the 
world's  outside. 

Love  and  thanks  to  my  family 
who  carried  me  here. 

Blessing  to  my  friends  who  made 
the  journey  so  real. 

To  all  those  I  laughed  with  I  will 
remember  you. 

To  all  those  I  never  knew,  I'll 
catch  you  next  time  around. 

FRYDAY  Girls,  keep  shining  your 
light. 

MAP,  merci  pour  tout  ce  que  vous 

m'avezmontreetoffert.  Le respect, 

qa  dure. 

LAT,  You   are  no   less  than  a 

magician,  for  the  music  is  indeed 

the  magic. 

MHP,  thank  you  for  providing 

space,  not  defining  it. 

And  onwards  I  go,  with  the  music 
by  my  side. 

Peace 


This  is  the  end. ..beautiful  friend.

■Through  all  of  the  drama, 
deception,  and  laughter,  thanks  to 
Nick  L.  Sarah  P.  and  Emile.  I'm 
lucky  to  have  friends  who  don't 
concentrate  on  the  way  they  are 
being  perceived  by  others,  but 
rather  on  who  and  what  they  feel  is 
important.  Love  you  all  very  much. 
Take  every  opportunity  to  do 
something  different.  It's  worth  it.

This  was  my  9*  year  at  Ashbury. 
TTiis  is  the  same  sentence  as  25  year 
Ufe  imprisonment  for  a  25  \'ear  old  in 
a  minimum  securit)'  prison,  witli 
weekend  leave,  and  summer  breaks 
(with  no  hope  of  parole).  For  the 
same  cost  i  could  have  gotten  a 
Porsche.  I'm  not  bitter  though,  I 
ha\'en't  had  time  to  get  my  G-Z  vet. 
Onlv  8  more  vears  to  go.  I'can't  Be  a 
Paleontologist  until  I  get  my  PhD.  I'U 
then  be  26  years  old.  Raving  spent  23 
years  in  educational  institutions,  and 
I  will  be  way  in  debt.  I  suppose  the 
olderIget,thefastertimegoesby.  (It 
actuaUy  goes  bv  at  the  same  rate',  but 
a  given  aay  e'ncompasses  a  lesser 
proportion  of  my  life.)  The  first  two 
\ears  of  lunior  School  were  pretty 
sheltered,  then  I  was  thrown  into  the 
cannibalistic  anarchy  of  grade  7.  The 
images  of  small  children  prodding 
their  fallen  comrades'  bodies  witn 
sticks  \st11  linger  with  me.  Since  then 
I  ha\e  been  gudt}'  b  v  association  more 
times  thanl  can  c'ount.  I  was  then 
duped  into  thinking  I  had  reached 
sal\'ation  in  senior  school,  but  it  has 
always  been  the  same  after  the  first 
monfh.  However  I  have  adapted. 
Finally,  it  has  taken  me  this  long  rime 
to  reg'ain  the  hope  that  I  left  at  the 
Dark  Gates.  It  can  only  get  better 
from  here  on  in.  Ich  bin  3iq.

After  staying  in  boarding  for  four 
years,  I  have  become  less  healthy 
(dining  hall  food)  despite  all  the 
early  morning  runs,  and  waking 
up  earlier  and  eating  a  full 
breakfast.  Special  thanks  to  the 
teachers  who  took  care  of  me.  I  will 
never  forget  cooking  at  midnight, 
going  for  a  walk  on  the  roof  and 
gambling  atnight.  Also  1  will  never 
forget  the  Casino  de  Hull.  All  the 
time,  I  spent  over  there  and  how 
much  I  lost...  I'd  like  to  thank  Joel 
Boulvais  (correcting  my  grammar 
mistake,  including  this  writing),  Ian 
Howard  ("whisky  shower"),  Han 
Park  and  Sae  Park  (Playing  Starcraft 
at  night),  Wendy  Kwong  and 
Rosanna  Mak  ("going  to  China 
town")  and  all  the  other  people 
who  supported  me.  Without  you 
guys,  I  wouldha\e  never  sur\'ived 
for  these  four  years.  .At  the  end,  I 
want  to  say  good  luck  to  all  my 
friends.  I  hope  they  have  good 
futures. 


Yikes..five  years  of  Ashburv',  so 
manv  memories.  Friends  come  and 
go  and  leave  imprints  on  my  life, 
family  is  a  constant.  To  mom  and 
dad  thank  you  (still  learning  life

I  feel  glad  and  relieved  that  i'm

i  do  not  have  anymore  patience  to 
deal  with  some  of  the  individuals  I 
come  into  contact  with.  I'm  glad 
because  I  won't  have  to  ea  t  uniden- 
tifiable food  any  more.  To  those  of 
you  in  grades  l2  to  9,1  would  like  to

may  be  difficult ,  but  i  have  found 
out  that  sometimes  it's  all  in  your 
best  interest.  KEEP  it  REAL.  With 
some  bitter  sweet  memories  of  my 
SKOOL  DAZE.  This  part  of  my

to  survive.  And  2  Mrs. Kennedy

my  parents  I  know  I  gave  you  stress, 
thanks  for  putting  up  with  my  mess. 
And  it  is  finished.

I  first  want  to  thank  my  loving 
family  and  generous  grandparents 
without  whom  none  of  everything 
would  have  happened.  UliatcanI 
say,  in  grade  6  I  entered,  emotional 
landscapes,  and  finally  in  grade  13 
I  exi(s)t,  ready.  Good  times,  bad 
times-life  is  neverneutral.  Ichoose 
to  remember  the  people  and  the 
memories  will  follow  suit... AM  &

AB,  AS,  PG,  Toothpick,  Fruit, 
BOOM  (litote)  Moumoune,  NK,  BQ, 
CB,  IH,  JG,  NC,  ]B,  the  Brits.  For 
those  not  mentioned  do  not  worry, 
I  merely  do  not  yet  realize  the 
impact  that  you  have  had  on  my 
life.  Mona,  the  time  with  you  was 
filled  with  love  and  passion  and 
shall  always  remain  close  to  my 
heart.  Four  good  years  in  home- 
room with  Ms.  Lewicki.  Sra.  Rajani, 
Doc  and  M.  Stojanovic  you  made 
THE  lasting  impact  (true  care  and 
devotion).  What  a  wonderful  life 
I've  had -I  only  wish  I'd  realized  it 
sooner.  Que  la  paz  sea  con  ustedes 
...  siempre.

This  is  my  first  and  last  year  at- 
Ashbury.  Many  things  happened, 
and  they  all  are  precious 
experiences.  Many  people  I'd  like 
to  thank,  but  many  of  them  are  not 
here  anymore. ..For  those  who  have 
remained  here,  I  would  like  to 
express  my  my  greatest  gratitude 
for  what  I  ve  been  taught:  LL,  EH, 
DH,  my  history  teacher  Mrs. 
Duschinsky  and  MV.  My  parents 
who  supported  me  a.t.w.  without 
regret  altnough  at  some  times  I'm 
rebellious.  My  sister  Cindy  has  been 
very  supportive  as  well,  and  she  is 
both  my  b.  friend  and  b.  sister.  Now 
the  hallways  are  empt_y,  the  stairs 
are  awfully  long.  The  front  door  is 
not  a  place  to  wait  anymore.  The 
windows  are  closed,  and  the  snowis 
gone.  The  fields  are  meaningless  if 
that  laughter  is  not  there.  If  we  are 
parted,  I'm  not  parted  from  you. 
What  I'vge  walked  through  is  not 
vanity  but  truth.  If  goodbye  is  said, 
and  wishes  are  made,  I  shall  see 
you  again,  and  this  is  ...the 
beginning,  not  the  end.  I  will 
remember  you,  will  you  remember 
me  ?  My  oitter-sweet  dream  in 
reality.

Dear  Diary, 

The  clock  reads  2  a.m.  Grad  write- 
ups  are  due  tomorrow.  If  only  there 
was  time  I  would  like  to  write 
something  original  and  masterful. 
Something  that,  if  I  join  the 
mindless  masses  within  a  decade, 
will  show  that  at  a  point  in  my  life 
there  was  potential.  What  I  would 
like  to  say  is  simple.  I  wish  to  give 
an  honest  thank  you  to  my  parents 
and  teachers  for  helping  me  to  be 
who  I  am.  I  also  desire  to  pay  tribute 
to  a  few  classmates:  namely 
Richard,  a  man  who  will  take  the 
system  far;  Nick,  a  fellow  dreamer; 
and  Aaron,  one  who  will  never  lose 
his  path.  Finally,  I  would  feign 
capture  memories  of  the  good  times 
that  I  have  passed  with:  JB,  JG,  BQ, 
SP2,  PC,  CZ,  and  JI.  The  problem  is 
I  still  have  to  design  a  robot  tonight 
and  be  up  in  time  for  rowing  at  6. 
So,  even  if  I  don't  finish  my  write- 
up,  I  hope  that  everyone  realises 
that  1  do  remember,  and  that  I  wish 
them  the  best  of  life.

Gather  round,  chUdren,  let  me  tell 
you  a  story-  no  I  don't  care  if  you 
don't  wanf  to  hear.  Two  years  ago 
this  nerdy  kid  from  BC  with  gooTy 
hair  comes  to  this  preppy  school  in 
Ottawa  with  all  the  rich  kids.  He's  a 
bit 

worried,  and  his  first  year  is  pretty 
tough-  lots  of  work  and  not  mucn 
fun.  Despite  this  inauspicious  start 
he  actually  survives  two  years  and 
even  has  some  fun  along  the  way.  So 
thanks  to  all  those  who  proved  to  me 
that  you  aren't  all  a  bunch  of  snotty 
rich  kids.  And  even  some  of  you  who 
are  snotty  rich  kids  are  alrignt. 
1  must  give  especial  recognition  to 
my  late-night  noodlefest  Doarding 
buds-  Ian  and  Aaron  and  Joel  and  my 
roomie  Steve  who  put  up  with  me. 
Also  the  girls-  Rieke,  Wendy,  Katrina, 
Kim.  I  also  thank  Nick  L  and  K  and 
the  lazy  mob  outside  the  computer 
lab  for  helpingwith  my  endless 
procrastinationrThanks  to  everyone 
else  who  made  my  life  a  little  better 
than  expected  and  "helped  build  some 
good  memories.  I  must  also  give 
special  recognihon  to  my  teachers  for 
believing  in  me.  especially  Dr.  Ehly. 
And  above  all  thanks  to  my  parents 
for  sacrificing  so  I  could  come  here. 
So  lone  Ashbury-  what  didn't  kill  me 
will  only  make  me  stronger.

I  Can  say  that  during  my  years  in

everyday  would  be  the  last:  but  now 
I've  reahzed  other  things.  What  I  will 
remember  most  and  look  back  on  is 
the  closeness  I  shared  with  many 
students  in  this  school.  I  will  look 
back  on  the  unity,  the  school(haha) 
has  created  the  perfect  atmosphere 
for  long  lasting  fnendships. "Leaving 
is  something  T  still  look  forward  to, 
not  just  to  get  out  of  the  system  of 
school  rules,  but  to  experience  things 
for  myself.  I  look  forward  to  days 
when  1  wiU  be  able  to  earn  my  own

These  last  two  years  have  been

anyway.)  Rieke:  I've  got  too  much 
2  say  2  u.  Kat:  someday  we'll  set  42

someday  I'll  blackmail  vou.  The

me.  SoungMok  (and  SangMok): 
Thanx  for  teaching  me  how  to  play 
pool .  LoMing:  I  forgot  my  medicine 
again.  Paul:  pineapples  in  a  cold 
basement.  Joel:  Chinese  soap  opera 
beats  European  ones.  Holeer:  poke. 
SK:  thanx  for  the  starbucKs  coffee. 
Kim:  my  fave  kitty,  have  fun  next 
year.  Christian:  some  day  ill  beat 
ff8  myself.  Aly:  Jellicle  halluci-

Thank  you  all  for  tolerating  or 
pretending  to  tolerate  me  and 
Keeping  me  more  or  less  insane.

will  miss  here.  SPECIAL

Thank  you  to  all  my  teachers  at 
Ashbury  who  throughout  the  past 
three  years  of  my  life  have  done  so 
much  for  me.  To  my  friends,  I  give 
special  thanks  because  you  have 
helped  me  in  so  many  different 
ways  during  my  time  here.  And 
finally  I  thank  my  family  who  have 
encouraged  and  supported  me 
throughout  my  life  even  though  at 
times  I  have  been  difficult.  You 
have  all  helped  me  to  become  who 
I  am,  and  ha  ve  therefore  helped  me 
in  my  desire  to  achieve  something 
which  will  outlast  my  life,  and  for 
that  I  am  very  grateful.  To  my 
teachers,  friends  and  family  may 
good  luck  and  good  times  be  in 
your  future.

It  all  began  witli  the  family.  I  must 
say  'tlnank  \ou'  to  my  parents  for 
gi\'ing  me  e\-erv'  opportunity',  and 
ne\'er  holding  anvlhing  back,  and 
thanks  to  Tanya,  the  greatest  sister  I 
could  e\'er  imagine,  for  the  inspira-

6,  1  met  Tait,  and  Matt,  and  manv 
others  who  would  become  old 
friends.  In  Grade  7  came  Aidan 
Thompson,  the  third  member  and 
there  is  too  much  to  sav  except... 
nothingbut  good  times.  The  next  six 
years  has  been  a  mixture  of  sports, 
school,  and  summer.  Three  years  of 
Football,  and  five  years  of  Rugby, 
and  the  Lunch  Table  with  all  or  the 

food  times  on  the  picnic  tables  with 
ait.  Drew,  Jer  S,  Brian,  Jacob,  Dan  S,

These  last  couple  of  years  havebeen 
a  hectic  time  in  my  life.  A  lot  of 
things  ha\e  changed,  and  a  lot  of 
things  have  remained  the  same.  It's 
all  a  matter  of  perspective.  I  think 
that  in  many  wavsl  have  changed 
to  meet  the  new  situations  and 
obsta-cles  that  have  come  before 
me.  Sometimes  these  changes  have 
been  for  the  better,  and  sometimes 
not.  Instead  of  thanking  people 
individ-ually,  I'd  just  like  to  say 
thanks  to  the  family,  the  crew  and 
eversone  else  who'has  helped  me 
out  along  the  way.  You  know  who 
you  are.  1  also  want  to  thank  the 
people  of  Geneva,  Switzerland.  The 
best  four  years  of  mv  life  were  spent 
with  you.  The  Le'shards,  Al  and 
Ruf,  the  rest  of  the  crew.  Sarah, 
we've  had  some  unfor-gettable 
Hmes,  and  some  times  that  we  wish 
we  jould  forget.  Finally,  I  would 
like  to  thank  AOT  and  OPS,  for 
giving  me  an  opportunity  to  express 
myself  in  new  ways,  ways  tnat  I 
ha'd  never  imagined  possible  for 
me.  And  for  the  future  genera-tions 
reading  this,  remember  that  having 
fun  has  its  price,  but  some  things  in 
this  world  are  priceless.  It's  the 
priceless  things  that  we  remember, 
and  these  are  the  things  that  make 
or  break  the  man.

Thanks  again  Ashbury  for

To  think  that  I've  been  at  Ashbury 
since  grade  7,  time  has  just  gone  by.  1 
can  still  remember  when  I  nrst  giit  on 
the  yellow  school  bus.  Jr.  school  was 
new  in  the  first  year,  new  faces,  new 
setting.  Grade  o  was  just  getting  into 
the  "routine".  Grade  9, 1  (land  n was 
ciuick.  Grade  12  was  the  beginning  of 
IB.  Grade  13  was  the  beginning  of^he 
end.  1  never  really  thought  about  the 
future  at  all.  I'd  like  to  thank  all  the 
teachers  that  have  helped  me.  You've 
aU  been  a  guiding  light  in  my  journey. 
I'd  also  like  to  thank  all  the  friends 
that  have  supported  me.  PC,  I  couldn't 
have  finishecl  many  labs  withou t  your 
help.  NL,  always  there  to  help.  WK. 
thanks  for  always  being  there  and 
you're  the  geiiius.  DP,  you  and  your 
bad  advice,  (you  know  what  I'm 
talking  about).  BQ,  grad  trip. . .  Thanks 
to  anyone  that  I  have  forgotten,  high 
school  can  be  stressful  but  you  guys 
are  one  reason  to  get  up  and  go  to 
school  everyday.  Finally  I'd  lu<e  to 
thank  my  parents  for  sending  me  to 
such  a  prestigious  school  ancf  giving 
me  the  opportunity  to  explore  my 
abilities.  1  can  never  thank  you 
enough.  My  years  at  Ashbury  have 
been  the  best.  I'd  like  to  wish  all  the 
grads  the  best_and  hope  you  all  will 
nave  a_fuLfilltng  life.  I'd  also  like  to 
wish  my  best  to  the  next  year's  grad 
class.

The  right  to  know  is  like  the  right  to 
live.  It  is  fundam-ental  and 
unconditional  in  its  assumption 
that  know-ledge,  like  life,  is  a 
desirable 
thing.

Thank  you  everyone,  Teachers,

To  everyone  whom  I  know: 

Distance  between  a  tree  and  a  tree 
Distance  between  an  island  and  an  island 
Distance  between  a  person  and  a  person 

Everywhere  there  are  distances 

Distance  between  a  fox  and  a  fox 
Distance  between  a  star  and  a  star 
Distance  between  a  heart  and  heart 

I  wanted  to  go  to  somewhere  no  distan- 
ces. 

No  distance  between  water  and  a  fish 
No  distance  between  sea  and  a  wave 
No  distance  between  a  bird  and  wings 

I  will  remember  you  guys, 
who  did  not  have  distances.

Well,  there  goes  7  vea's  of  my  life 
into  the  Asnburv' Experience.  It 
passed  as  quickly  as  the  '99  SVT 
Contour  down  the  parkway  on  a 
Frida\'  spring  afternoon.  Shout  out 
to  the'  bovs,  (Fook'n  the  Gan^,  the 
(Gauthie'r  Crew),  (Walker  Texes 
Rangers).  Walker,  you  made  it 
skippin'  as  much  school  as  possible 
and  getting  into  the  most  legal 
trouble,  good  luck  with  the  5  iron. 
Spooner,  don't  put  an\'  more  BMW's 
into  trees,  or  first  gear,  and  no  more 
cradle  robin'.  L\Tich,  those  taxi's  are 
deadly  as  are  (self)  employers,  Yash, 
I'm  surprised  I  made'  it  riding 
sidekick  in  the  Jeep,  thanks  for  the 
Roskizic  lessons.  Curling,  what  tlie 
heU  were  we  doing.  To  me  teach's. 
Big  N4AC,  we  missed  you-  RJC,  an 
experience  to  say  the  least;  NJ,  opened 
my  eyes;  and  Benoit,  for  teacliing  me 
that  1  never  want  to  know  french. 
Commonwealth,  the  highlight  of 
highschool,  Emma,  for  bemg  a  part 
of^  so  much.  My  parents  for 
everv'thing,  you  are  appreciated. 
AND  to  Henr\-  Ford,  for  making  such 
a  great  car  co'mpany!  Shout  out's  to 
e\'eryone  else  who  was  there  for  the 
Casino,  77,  ln\'  club,  RaOy  Racing. 
Montreal  Max  Speed  Runs,  and  all

I  must  have  missed  something; 
yesterday  is  a  blur  of  wasted  time, 
and  tomorrow  is  approaching 
much  too  fast.  I  won't  say  thanks 
before  I'm  swept  back  into 
anonymity,  I'll  just  say  goodbye. 

This  is  the  way  the  world  ends  not 
with  a  bang  but  a  whimper. 
-T.S.  Eliot 


After  8  long  i/ears  its  finally  time  2 
write  this  I  nave  so  many  memories, 
some  bad,  but  vital  in  order  2 
appreciate  the  good.  I've  been 
planning  this  4  years  but  now  when 
It  comes  time  2  write,  I'm,  at  a  blank 
How  can  I  give  justice  2  those  that  1

thanx  Mrs.  Jowett your  teaching  gave 
me  the  option  of  looking  through  a 
new  door  in  life,  it  scares  me  when  I

It's  all  about  killing  the  chickens 
and  hanging  penguins.  Speaking 
of  which  Wencly  you're  turning  into 
a  penguin  stop  it.  Rieke  want  some 
coffee?  Joel  stop  whistling.  James 
you  too,  and  cut  the  hair.  Mike  it 
was  a  good  year,  had  too  much  fun 
with  those  pretty  little  flowers.  Kim 
don't  scream.  Christian  look  up, 
don't  worry  about  where  the 
arrows  lead.  Aly  any  planes  crash 
recently?  Home  move  away  the 
tree's  attacking.  Ronnette  pass  the 
donuts.  COMP  LAB  CREW  Forget 
the  chairs,  we  need  a  couch.  There's 
a  birdie,  too  late.  Turn  over.  Testing 
gravity.  Do  I  have  a  spare  now?  It's 
raining  pennies  from  heaven. 
People  tripping  over  the  line.  The 
tiles  are  individually  laid  by 
Italians.  BOARDING  c-c-cheerios. 
It  was  lightning.  It's  illegal.  Endless 
card  games.  Who's  worse?  SM  and 
SG  you're  awesome.  Thanks  to  all 
my  teachers  and  my  parents.  And 
ofcourse  there's  my  sis  -  you're  the

It  is  still  snowing  outside:  April  9th. 
I'm  sitting  here  in  the  Backpackers 
Inn  and  enjoy  my  weekend-off  from 
boarding  life.  3  years  of  boarding 
needs  a  break  once  in  a  while, 
although  it  was  a  lot  of  fun.  1  don't 
want  to 

miss  the  memories  I  have!  Wendy 
who  is  THE  roommate  for  me,  Ka  trin'a 
who  is  my  dear  crazy  Penguin- 
FanaHc,  Rdsartna  who  takes  care  of 
everybody  else,  James  who  is  pretty 
enough,  when  dressed  up  as  a  girl^  to 
make  girls  jealous  but  other  wise  is  a 
very  handsome  guy  and  a  lot  of  fun  to 
be  with,  Joel  whom  I  went  upstairs 
with  and  had  sex  on  the  beach,  Holger 
who  probably  still  remembers  what  i 
said  about  my  20"'  birthday  in  Eatons, 
Paul  who  provided  an  Interesting 
Soap-Opera  for  Joel  and  I,  Aaron  who 
took  me  to  a  ball  and  kept  Katrina 
and  I  busy  in  A&G  with  the  paper 
thingy,  Ian  who  loved  James'  Rubber- 
Ducky,  and  Tina  the  little  sheep. 
Everyone  turned  Ashburv  intoa  great 
time  with  lots  and  lots  of  crazy  stuff. 
That  weekend  in  Montreal  was 
awesome,  Tina,  and  brought  happy 
months  and  new  friendships  with  it 
(right?),  some  more  close  than  others 
and  some  very  close.  I  love  you  all 
(those  included  in  ALL  will  ce'rtainly 
know!)  !  1  want  to  thank  you  for  a 
splendid  time.  I  will  never  forget  you! 


So  long  and  thanks  for  all  the

When  I  arrived  at  Ashbury  five 
loooooooooooooong  years  ago, 
who  would  have  thought  that  I'd 
actually  survive  to  graduate?  Not 
me,  that's  for  sure,  but  here  I  am 
anyways.  The  intervening  years 
haven't  always  been  fun,  but 
they've  been  unforgettable.  Some 
things  1  can't  wait  to  forget;  others, 
I  hope  stay  with  me  forever.  Now, 
traditional  incomprehensible 
messages:  to  the  boss,  GHS,  thanks 
for  letting  me  be  a  part  of  something 
so  fun  and  rewarding.  To  all  the 
Theatre-rats,  thanks  for  the 
memories,  most  of  which  will 
require  elctroshock  to  forget.  To 
AP,  never  stop  being  yourself,  but 
if  you  have  to  become  someone 
new,  be  someone  with  an  ounce  of 
decency  :>)  To  the  original  squirrel 
on  crack,  thanks  for  being  there 
even  if  you  couldn't  be  more.  To 
much  too  many  mention,  thank  you 
for  giving  me  a  chance  to  be  myself, 
and  for  putting  up  with  said  self. 
Here's  to  the  memories!

Jay,  our  Josten's 
Rep:  Aly  and  Jon; 
Matt  accepting  the 
Yearbook  2000 
award. 


The  1999-2000  scholastic  year 
marked  the  last  for  our  Headmaster, 
Mr.  Roy  Napier.  It  is  the  pleasure  of 
the  staff  of  The  Ashburian  to  for- 
mally dedicate  this  yearbook  in 
honour  of  our  departing  headmas- 
ter. 

Mr.  Napier  came  to  Ashbury  in  1986. 
Originally  from  northern  Ireland,  he 
moved  to  Canada  in  1964,  soon  after 
he  married  wife  Dorothy.  He  worked 
his  way  through  many  schools,  work- 
ing at  Bishop's  College  School,  New 
Richmond  High  School  and  other 
schools  in  the  province  of  Quebec. 
While  there,  he  gained  an  enviable 
command  of  French.  A  successful  6 
year  tenure  at  Riddley,  starting  in 
1975,  led  to  the  position  of  Head- 
master at  Albert  College  in  Belleville. 
When  Mr.  Napier  arri\'ed  at  Ashbury, 
he  immediately  opened  the  Senior 
School  to  girls,  hired  more  female 
staff,  and  appointed  the  first  female 
Chairman  of  the  board  of  directors. 
He  invested  more  of  the  schools  re- 
sources in  sports,  which  enabled 
Ashbury  to  become  a  powerful  force 
in  game  play.  He  promptly  took 
measures  to  pay  off  the  remaining 
portion  of  the  new  gym,  but  his  am- 
bition did  not  stop  there.  In  1993,  he 
announced  the  eo-ahead  for  Ashburv 
Campaign  2000,  which  was  to  raise 
funds  for  a  major  expansion  of  facili- 
ties. This  led  to  the  construction  of 
the  new  Junior  School,  new  library 
and  a  new  theatre  complex.  More 
recently,  a  new  residence  facility  was 
built. 

While  his  departure  will  affect  many 
facets  of  school  life,  it  will  be  espe- 
cially difficult  for  the  yearbook  com- 
mittee. Over  the  years,  Mr.  Napier 
has  graciously  given  us  continual 
and  unconditional  support.  With  a 
relatively  low  student  population, 
the  production  of  the  yearbook  is 
quite  costly.  Mr.  Napier  has  always 
been  willing  to  provide  financial  sac- 
rifices so  that  each  and  every  student 
and  member  of  staff  is  represented 
in  a  high  quality  yearbook.  A  heart- 
felt thank  you  to  Mr.  Napier. 


A  vital  part  of  Ashbury  College  spirit  is  represented  in  our  yearbook.  Ih 
Ashburian.  Every  year.  The  Ashburian  strives  to  capture  the  essence  of  111 
Ashbury.  Whether  you're  an  alumnus  or  current  student,  looking  through 
Ashburian  should  bring  back  a  flood  of  fond  memories;  each  page  is  designt 
move  you  back  in  time  and  convey  a  sense  of  nostalgia.  | 

This  year  marks  the  first  year  w^here  the  concept  of  team  leaders  has  t 
implemented.  These  important  individuals  provide  leadership  to  a  large  gr 
of  ambitious  students  who,  at  times,  need  guidance.  They  were:  Kim  Wong 
Lakani,  Titus  van  den  Heuvel,  Jonathan  So  &  Mike  Sallot.  Without  these  1 
working  and  dedicated  individuals,  the  production  of  the  yearbook  would  1" 
been  virtuallv  impossible. 

Beyond  these  highly-skilled  indi\iduals,  the  other,  less-heralded  members  o 
yearbook  committee  are  an  essential  part  of  the  huge  coordination  require 
create  a  yearbook.  They  benefit  from  working  in  many  diverse  areas  of 
yearbook:  photography,  layout,  theme  design  and  computer  layout  des 
Their  selfless  support,  talent  and  commitment  enable  the  production  proce^ 
move  infiniteh'  more  efficiently. 

The  most  praise,  however,  should  be  directed  towards  Mrs.  Ford,  our  . 
leader.  Her  continual  dedication  and  hard  work  should  be  commended,  i 
brought  experience  that  always  helped  us  get  through  whatever  obstacles 
came  across.  A  sincere  thank  vou  on  behalf  of  the  entire  yearbook  committ 
On  a  personal  note,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  grad  class  for  submitting  their  ^ 
write-ups  in  record  time;  this  was  a  great  improvement  over  previous  yt 
Furthermore,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  the  teachers  and  coaches  who  were  1 
enough  to  respect  our  deadlines  and  submit  their  write-ups,  sometimes  \\i-- 
very  little  notice.  Overall,  I  believe  everyone  involved  with  the  production  ojhi 
yearbook  had  an  enjoyable  and  memorable  experience.  I  wish  the  commiet-: 
next  year  good  luck  and  all  the  best,  and  may  you  ha\'e  no  \'ertical  eye-lin(

The  staff  is  always  involved  with  the  students  at  Ashbury,  but  they 
also  have  their  own  private  lives.  Mr.  Montgomery  for  example  is 
obviously  very  happy  here,  as  he  should  be,  since  his  wedding  is 
planned  for  the  summer.  We  wish  the  Director  and  his  bride-to-be  all 
the  happines  in  the  world!  Mr.  Humphreys,  Mrs.  Arbuckle,  Mrs. 
Boyd  and  Mrs.  Booth,  above,  while  pretending  to  keep  track  of  scores 
on  Soccer  Day,  are  actually  planning  out  their  itinerary  for  the 
summer!  Mr.  Street  (above  right)  is  practicing  his  other  job  -  a  crossing 
guard.  Mr.  Storosko,  while  relaxing  at  Camp  Cameron,  is,  in  fact,  the 
chief  Druid  of  the  Ukranian  Leprechaun  Society.

Voyage  a  Quebec 


30  septembre  1999,  un  groupe  d'etudiants  de  huitieme  annee  est  parti  pour  visiter  la  ville  de  Quebec.  Lors 
leur  voyage,  ils  ont  fait  des  visiles  guidees  de  la  haute  et  la  basse  ville,  de  I'Assemblee  nationale,  et  du 
isee  de  la  Civilisation.  lis  ont  egalement  assiste  a  des  presentations  au  Musee  du  Fort,  au  spectacle

Soccer  at  Bishop's 


The  L"  13  and  14  teams  set  off  for  Bishop's 
tournament  the  second  weekend  of  school.  It 
was  another  fine  performance  for  both.  The  U 
14  settled  for  the  silver  losing  a  close  fmal 
match  to  LCC.  The  L'  13  won  the  consolation 
round  defeating  Stanstead  5-1.  Many  thanks 
to  Messers  \'alentine,  King,  and  Street.

U 11  and  U 12  Soccer 


Much  of  the  success  of  the  Junior 
School  soccer  programme  is  due  to  the 
excellent  "farm  system"  at  the  grades  4, 
5,  and  6  level.  The  U  11  and  U  12  teams 
played  LCC  in  September,  splitting 
four  games.  Thanks  to  Ms  Boyd  and 
Mr.  Street,  the  teams  also  played  The 
Priory  and  LCC  in  Montreal  in  October. 
The  chance  to  travel  and  to  represent 
the  school  is  a  great  advantage  for 
these  young  soccer  players.  The  high 
level  of  skill  bodes  well  for  next  year's 
U  13  tournament  team.  Clockwise

House  Soccer 


It  has  become  one  of  the  pleasant  fall 
traditions  at  the  school:  the  Annual  House 
Soccer  Competition.  Once  again  we  had  a 
beautiful,  warm,  sunny  day  for  the 
afternoon's  activities.  Everyone  was  involved 
either  as  participant,  referee  or  score-keeper. 
This  year  the  Wizards  emerged  as  the  overall 
victors.  Individually,  the  Senior  Hobbit  A 
Team  was  the  class  of  its  division,  but  the 
Wizards  won  the  7-8  section  with  solid  efforts 
at  all  levels.  In  the  4-5-6  competition  it  was  the 
Dragons  who  led  the  way.  Clockwise  from 
top:  The  Wizard  4-5-6  A  team;  Lucas  struts  his 
stuff;  Colin  crouching;  Alex,  Matthew  and

their  place.

Once  again  Mr.  Hum- 
phreys' class  led  the  way 
with  $781.  The  House  com- 

getition  was  won  by  the 
'ragons  who  collected  in 
excess  of  $1240.  The  Wiz- 
ards proved  to  be  the  fleetest 
afoot.  The  junior  School 
boys  are  grateful  that  they 
are  able  to  make  such  a  good 
contribution  to  our  commu- 
nity. Mrs.  Wilgress  deserves 
thanks  for  her  hard  work.

December  is  always  a  busy  time  at  the 
College.  We  began  with  a  most  success- 
ful Mitten  Tree  project  The  students  were 
most  generous  with  their  contributions 
collecting  huge  quantities  of  warm 
winter  clothing,  and  enough  cash  to 

gurchase  36  snow  suits  for  the  Fund, 
•ther  activities  included  the  Junior  Choir 
travelling  to  various  locations.  The  choir 
(at  left)  also  performed  in  the  Christmas 
Concert.  The  Grades  5,  7,  and  8  music 
classes  played  from  Jazz  to  folk.  Eric 
Lenouvel  played  one  of  his  own  pieces 
on  the  piano.  Another  highlight  of  the 
season  was  the  Grade  8  Drama  Class 
with  their  annual  theatre  presentation  to 
close  the  term.

The  Under  13  team  had  a  successful  season.  It  began  before  Christmas  with  two

finished  sixth  overall  (out  of  sixteen)  at  the  C.A.I.S.  tournament  in  Richmond 
Hill.  We  defeated  three  strong  sides,  and  lost  only  to  U.C.C.  and  to  the  eventual 
champions.  Crescent.  Our  strong  efforts  and  fair  play  were  rewarded  when  the

It's  About  Rhyme 


Reflections  on  a  Century 
Written  by:  Matthew  Grey 

A  century  of  change  has  just  passed  lis  by, 

A  hundred  years  of  memories  that  shall  never  ever  die. 

On  the  battlefiehi  this  century  was  to  start, 

After  an  Austrian  Prince  took  a  bullet  to  the  heart. 

The  war  to  end  all  wars  this  conflict  was  called. 

Yet  it  would  take  many  years  before  it  finally  was  resolved. 

Next  there  were  the  inventors,  those  who  dared  to  dream, 

Wlio  look  at  a  problem  and  find  an  answer  despite  how  impossible  it  may  seem. 

Take  for  example  the  Wright  Brothers  who  one  day  looked  to  the  sky. 

And  asked  the  great  question  "But  why  can't  man  fly". 

After  endless  days  of  working,  enduring  the  physical  and  mental  pain, 

The  two  finally  created  the  world's  first  airplane. 

Fighting  again,  another  war  broke  loose, 
Though  both  sides  tried  they  could  find  no  truce. 

The  battles  continued  year  upon  year, 

As  the  lives  of  Europeans  were  filled  luithfear. 

Then  that  one  fateful  day  in  1945, 

America  unleashed  the  A-bomb  costing  millions  more  their  lives. 

This  signalled  the  end  to  a  fearsome  and  bloody  war. 

Once  again  the  bird  of  peace  over  the  earth  did  soar. 

Next  came  the  sixties  filled  with  trends  and  change. 

With  people  making  peace  signs  and  acting  very  strange. 

A  dream  of  peace  and  equality  echoed  through  the  land. 

As  a  leader  spoke  up  and  said  it  loas  time  to  make  a  stand. 

Then  through  a  march  a  jnillion  men  strong, 

The  people  used  their  voice  that  had  been  silenced  for  so  long. 

Imagine  being  able  to  travel  back  in  time. 

Whether  it  be  to  right  a  wrong  or  stop  a  crime. 

Would  you  go  to  Dallas  in  November  1963, 

And  stop  the  assassin  in  the  book  depository. 

Or  'would  you  go  to  Memphis  on  a  1968  night. 

And  tell  Martin  not  to  walk  outside  in  the  day's  last  light. 

Next  came  the  space  race  as  all  of  man  reached  for  the  stars. 

And  actually  dreamed  of  travelling  to  Jupiter  and  Mars. 

Yuri  and  John  were  first  but  others  followed  soon. 

As  people  set  their  sights  to  actually  landing  on  the  moon. 

The  way  to  the  moon  Apollo  11  did  find. 

As  it  made  "One  small  step  for  man,  and  one  giant  leap  for  mankind". 

From  then  to  now  technology  has  been  the  key. 

Great  successes  have  been  made  from  the  cell  phone  to  the  CD. 

Then  there  are  computers  and  the  boundless  realm  of  the  internet, 

Connecting  people  of  all  nations  who  have  never  even  met. 

The  future's  unpredictable  as  we've  learned  from  our  past. 

No  one  is  sure  where  it'll  lead  us,  ifzve'll  end  up  first  or  last. 

We  must  look  ahead,  not  back,  at  the  days  gone  by. 

For  -we  never  will  know  how  far  we  can  go  if  we  never  even  try. 


April  is  the  cruelest  month,  but  not  this  year.  The  Junior  School  Annual  Poetry  Reading 
Competition  ser\ed  to  chase  away  the  blues.  Gordon  Nelson's  (top  left)  recitation  of  his 
grandfather's  poem  brought  down  the  house  and  put  him  in  first  place.  Peter  Bolink  and 
Romith  Naug  (middle  left)  tied  for  second.  Stephen  Street  and  Matthew  Grey  (bottom  left) 
tied  for  third.  Thanks  to  Mrs.  Frommer  and  Ms.  Lahey  who  had  the  unenviable  job  of  judging 
this  impressive  event.  Above  is  Matthew  Grey's  original  poem  which  he  read.

speaking  Out! 


Public  speaking  at  Ashbury  just  keeps  getting  better  and  better,  thanks  in  part  to  the 
wonderful  advice  bestowed  on  the  boys  by  Mrs.  Jowett,  our  judge  (top  right).  Brendan 
Alexander  and  Peter  Tross  (top  left)  tie  for  first.  Fraser  Buchannan  was  second,  and 
Sand  V  Miller  was  third.  For  grades  7  and  8,  Friedrich  Birgelen  was  third,  Romith  Naug 
second,  and  Maxime  Labelle  was  the  winner.  (Lower  right)  Ben  Filewood  interpreted 
Shakespeare  with  style  and  grace. 


Staged  Events 


Ashbury  students  have  a  lot  of  talent,  and  this  year  they  got 
to  showcase  it  in  a  variety  of  ways.  (Clockwise  from  top  left): 
Grade  six  gets  ready  to  perform  The  Hobbit.  Grade  seven 
students  learn  the  art  or  Greek  theatre.  The  whole  school 
turned  out  to  watch  the  Erewhon  Theatre  and  their  peers  in 
Oliver  Twist.  Puppers  galore  (Grade  six).  Stephen  Miller  stars 
as  Oliver.

Looking  to  the  Past 


At  the  end  of  May  the  grade 
8s  visited  both  Upper 
Canada  Village  and  Fort 
Wellington  as  part  of  their 
history  program.  We  see, 
from  top  left,  Greg  haying, 
Barrett  and  Ben  with  inter- 
preters, the  group  taking 
careful  notes  (naturally,  Mr. 
King  was  along!),  Daniel, 
Anthony,  Max,  Jason  (who 
would  take  notes  if  he  had 
arms),  and  Matthew  learn- 
ing about  the  life  of  soldiers, 
and  Nicolas,  Derek,  and 
Daniel  in  a  tight  spot.

Way  into  the  Past! 


The  Greek  Day  festivities  included  Olympic 
events.  Left,  Lucas  throws  the  discus,  and 
above,  Peter  attempts  the  standing  long  jump 
complete  with  hand  weights. 


rheatre  was  also  part  of  the  afternoon.  Each  class  presented  before  an  enthusiastic  audience  of  parents  and  peers.  Above

BLUE 

Blue  is  the  color  of  sadness. 

The  breaking  of  ice. 

The  coldness  of  a  ri\'er. 

Frozen. 

The  blue  of  the  sky, 

The  freshness  in  the  air. 

Ink  on  the  paper, 

A  starr\-  night. 

The  color  of  water. 

On  frozen  ice. 

A  bluebird  in  a  storm. 

On  a  windowsill. 

Blue  is  the  crunch  of  snow. 

The  rustle  of  leaves. 

In  the  sea  are  the  fish. 

With  the  coral  reefs.

Big  John 

Big  John  came  on  the  ice  that  day. 

He  didn't  have  a  lot  to  say. 

He  skated  poised  and  very  cool. 

He  knew  full  well  there'd  be  a  duel. 

The  game  was  set,  an  even  match. 

Them  red,  us  blue,  we  knew  we'd  catch 

A  few  good  pucks  and  hope  to  win 

If  John  took  all,  it'd  be  a  sin. 

He  stepped  with  care  to  meet  his  foe 

Was  Big  John  fast?  The  crowd  would 

know 

They  saw  him  when  the  puck  did  drop. 

He  skated  hard  but  couldn't  stop. 

I  saw  John  charge,  it  seemed  he  soared 

The  crash  was  loud,  he  broke  the 

boards. 

But  John  unscathed,  came  back  to  score 

We  tied  the  game,  the  crowd  roared 

"more!" 

The  puck  flew  up  the  center  line. 

With  icing  called,  it  was  a  sign 

We  must  fight  hard,  the  game  was  tight 

We  scored  a  goal,  the  coach  was  right. 

Now  Big  John's  eyes  grew  red  as  heat 

His  gloves  he  dropped  right  at  his  feet. 

The  crowd  was  roaring,  loved  the  fight 

The  players  fought  into  the  night. 

A  whistle  soon  did  pierce  the  air 

The  ref  said  "Men,  if  you  do  care 

To  skate,  not  fight,  let's  start  the  time 

But  John,  you're  benched,  from  six  to 

nine." 


r 


When  John  returned,  his  slapshot  flew 

He'd  set  it  up  three  men  on  two. 

Our  goalie  raised  his  stick  just  right 

But  John  did  score  with  all  his  might. 

Then  suddenly  our  team  grew  bold 
Our  spirits  mounted  in  the  cold 

Reality.  The  clock  moved  on. 
With  courage,  we  defeated  John. 

There's  strength  in  numbers,  so  they 

say 

We  proved  it  on  that  fateful  day. 

But  I  learned  something  I'll  pass  on. 

Respect  a  man  who's  called  "Big  John".

The  Dream 

I  am  at  the  top  of  the  hill 

I  look  around 

Snow  spills  gently  on  the  ground 

The  distant  hum  of  the  chairlift 

Is  the  only  sound 

that  reaches  my  ears 

Adrenaline  is  rushing 

Snow  is  falling 

Faster  and  faster 

I  zoom  down  the  hill 

I  weave  left  and  right 

Like  a  train  in  the  Rockies 

I  am  excited.  The  snow  falls 

Faster  and  Faster 


Suddenly,  I  am  in  the  air 

Blood  pumps  in  my  ears 

It  seems  that  I  have  just  taken  off 

White,  glinting  snow  falling 

Covers  everything  in  a  rich 

white  blanket  of  snow 

But  the  hum  of  the  chairlift 

Brings  me  back  to  my  senses 

I  looK  at  the  sky  and 

the  sun  turns  tne  flakes  to  gold 

I  wake  up,  my  heart  beating  heavily 

I  turn  over,  and  fall  asleep  again

Aging  Memories 

Don't  rewrite  the  past 
The  perfect  memories  were  meant  to  last 
But  age,  in  its  cruelty  steals  thoughts 
That  would  be  memories 

The  present  staggers  before  us 

Repetitions  of  the  past 

Shadows  without  substance  that  pretend 

To  be  reality 

While  belonging  to  neither 

Neurons  decay  and  die 

Taking  with  them  recollections

Red  Light,  Green  Light 

A  walking  man  waits  at  a  light  stop 

As  cars  race  by  him 

At  incredible  speeds 

Everything  is  blurry 

Everything  is  restless 

The  noise  is  incessant 

The  man  is  insignificant 

A  little  bug  in  the  way 

Of  oncoming  traffic 

Suddenly  a  simple  light  changes 

Everything  stops 

All  is  quiet 

The  man  walks  across  the  road 

By  the  obedient  cars 

The  man  no  longer  feels  small 

He  feels  like  the  king  of  the  world

THE  SHOE  OF  THE  ST.  LAWRENCE 


By  Brendan  Hennessy  8L 


Oh,  once  in  a  way,  all  the  sailor  folk  say, 
'Twas  a  good  vessel  strong,  proud,  and  true 
But  there  's  no  other  ship,  that  sank  faster  than  it. 
At  the  wreck  of  the  good  vessel.  Shoe. 

Well,  a  class  from  the  Bay  of  St.  Lawrence  one 

day. 

Went  west,  on  a  trip  to  a  town. 

But  nobody  there  laiew  that  that  night  the  boat 

Shoe 

Would  sink  into  the  icy  depths  down. 

In  Quebec  on  the  third,  there  was  much  to  be 

heard 

And  much  that  the  children  would  do 

Oh,  but  there  was  no  sight  that  was  greater  that 

night 

Then  young  Nate  who  was  holding  a  shoe. 

When  they  went  on  a  boat  that  was  destined  to 

float. 

'Cross  the  river  and  back  to  the  town. 

Oh,  there  started  a  brawl,  on  the  deck  and  the 

hall. 

And  ran  on  until  someone  went  down. 


For  out  the  boy  went  when,  a  young  lad  named 

Ben 

Knocked  Nathaniel  down  onto  the  land. 

But  when  Ben  called  to  Nate,  'twas  already  too 

late. 

For  the  shoe  had  flown  out  of  Nate's  hand. 

And  down  to  the  sea  went  the  ragged  Nike. 

To  the  depths,  went  the  sneaker  that  day. 

And  though  Nate  cried  and  wailed.  Oh,  he  never 

prevailed. 

For  the  shoe  it  was  destined  to  stay. 

And  Nate  watched  it  go  down,  to  the  river's  cold 

ground 

With  the  trash  of  the  city  it  laid. 

But  with  junk  too,  lies  the  little  boy's  shoe, 

'Till  old  age  makes  it  wither  or  fade. 

And  once  in  a  way,  all  the  sailors  will  say, 

'Twas  a  good  vessel  strong,  proud,  and  true 

And,  though  legends  are  great,  the  true  tale  is  of 

Nate 

And  the  loss  of  a  size-seven  shoe. 


The  Conspiracy 

They  stare  so  intensely,  with  small  cunning 

eyes. 

Their  frail  little  bodies  make  the  perfect 

disguise. 

They  walk  around  calmly  and  stand  so  erect. 

Such  a  brilliant  deceit,  you  would  never 

suspect. 

The  government  denies  this,  but  I  know  the 

truth. 
The  seagulls  are  here  to  devour  our  youths. 

They're  almost  through  waiting  the  time  is  so 

near. 

Their  heinous  intentions  now  perfectly  clear. 

They  loom  high  above  us,  and  seek  out  the 

weak. 

With  agile  wings  and  a  razor-like  beak. 

It  may  seem  a  bit  strange,  but  believe  me  it's 

true. 
Anyone  could  be  next,  perhaps  even  you. 

And  time  is  so  near  now,  they're  ready  to  strike. 

They  came  to  reshape  the  world  as  they  like. 
They  make  organized  raids,  from  their  secretive 

base, 

They  plan  to  enslave  the  whole  human  race. 

Their  plans  must  be  stopped,  before  they  take 

flight, 
I  ask  of  you  now  to  continue  my  fight!

With  the  wind  blowing  high 

And  the  icy  chill  pressing  against  my  face, 

I  walk  on. 

The  glaciers  stand  tall  and  majestic 

Over  the  barren  world, 

I  walk  on. 

The  call  of  the  wolf 

And  the  growl  of  the  polar  bear, 

I  walk  on. 

The  harsh  conditions 

In  the  glum  wilderness, 

I  walk  on. 

The  hope  that  I  will  return  home 

From  this  icy  hole  of  death, 

I  walk  on. 

The  screams  and  cries 

Of  men  who  have  died  before  me, 

I  walk  on. 

The  snow  pressing 

Upon  my  chilled  neck, 

I  walk  on. 

The  Artie  at  its  very  worst 

Is  the  place  my  body  comes  to  rest, 

I  walk  on.
