SPECTRUM STAFF Stanstead College 450 Dufferin Street " Stanstead, Quebec JOB 3E0 Published in Canada Printed in USA Spectrum 2000 A MESSAGE from the HEADMASTER The 1999-2000 school year has been exceptional, as our students have performed very well in all areas of school life. In a world where change is a constant, 1 have been fortunate to be given the challenge to provide new leadership for a school with a long and interesting history. This has meant introducing some different perspectives on education while respecting the core values that continue to make Stanstead College a very special school. Now that my first year as Headmaster at Stanstead is complete, I feel that I can say with some authority that there is much we have to celebrate here. As a small school, the relationships between faculty, students and support staff are very close. Consequently, students express a strong sense of belonging to something worthwhile and meaningful. Instead of being lost in the shuffle, pride is evident in everything that our students do. Whether it is in the classroom, on a field trip, at a performance or athletic match, Stanstead College students openly care about giving their best. This has been particularly evident in the exemplary leadership that our student prefects have provided to the whole school community. Focused, motivated, and involved have been the hall- marks of their leadership - and the younger students have followed their example. My thanks to the prefects for setting a very positive tone in the daily lives of our stu- dents. Our faculty has also been impressive this year. As the engine behind our many programs, Stanstead College teachers show a commitment to education that begins in the classroom and spills into every aspect of life in this seven-day-a-week boarding school. Not only do they share their knowledge in their specific area of academic \ expertise, they also act as coaches, advisors, caregivers and role models to our students. It is important for us all to remind our teachers how much they are truly appreci- . ated. Of course, I am not the only one who has experienced transition this year; we have all had to deal with the uncertainty of our collective start to the first year of a new millennium. Although the early days of Y2K seemed to be the product of a lot of hype, we should not forget that the world does continue to change rapidly around us. The in- credible capacity of the Internet and evolving applications of information technology are present- ing fundamental challenges to the way we all interact. Witness this at Stanstead by the advent of faculty laptops, an improvement to the school network, new computer facilities and an excep- tional student-run website. In short, as an educational institution we must accept change. How- ever, we must continue to strive to teach and live by timeless core values - respect, tolerance, a love of learning, and a commitment to community. These are the principles, which were the building blocks of our founding fathers and will surely continue to drive our success as a school for generations to come.

GARRY JONES Garry Jones was known to me as an advisee, a student, member of the Board of Trustees of Stanstead College and as a friend. There are vivid memories of his time at Stanstead as a student, of the many French classes where he was consistent and hard- working. Many discussions filled the evenings when I was on residence duty. The subjects were varied, ranging from the serious to the laughable. I can still hear him say,« Oh sir! Really? » with the wry smile one could only call Garry’s, flitting across his face expressing genuine amusement or irony. All depended on the subject. After his time at Stanstead, he stayed close. He often came to alumni gatherings. My wife and I never knew when he might suddenly appear on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. « Oh, Mom and I were just driving through and thought we would drop by. » Suddenly, he was in law school at the Umversite de Sherbrooke, and the ties to Stanstead continued. Before long he was a part of the Board of Trustees, and we saw him in a more formal way, but he remained the Garry we knew. We have all lost a loyal, faithful and dedicated friend who portrayed exceptional commitment to all endeavours.

The 1999 football season turned out to be highly rewarding, while at the same time, extremely frustrating. Starting the season with only a handful of Veterans’ returning from the 1998 roster, this year’s edition of the Spartans was comprised mainly of first year players. However, by season’s end, some two months later, the team had molded into a cohesive unit and had compiled an impressive 6 and 0 record. This fall, for the first time in recent memory, Alexander Galt failed to field a team. This left just Stanstead and our perennial Lennox-ville rivals. B.C.S. Reduced to two teams, the league was suspended for the season, leaving the Spartans with only a schedule of exhibition games. The Spartans dominated in the three games played with B.C.S. Convincingly winning each of the encounters in shutout fashion. In a post game ceremony, following our final victory over B.C.S.. the team was presented with the Senator C.B. Howard Cup for the fourth consecutive year. In mid-October we journeyed to Hamilton for our first ever encounter with HiMeld-Strathallan College. The two teams were very evenly matched in an extremely hard fought struggle. The Spartans prevailed, however, when In the dying moments of the fourth quarter, Alex Anderson scored wha t proved to be the winning touchdown in a 1 3-6 victory, and clearly the highlight of our season. Rounding out our abbreviated schedule was a victory over Seminaire de Sherbrooke and, in what has become a much-anticipated annual fixture, the Red and White recorded a solid win over a talented team from Appleby College. The team’s success was attributed to three things. The speed and power of our tandem running backs, Jean-Nic Verrault and Alex Anderson, a proud and determined defense which yielded a total of three touchdowns In six games, and the outstanding leadership provided by our team captains, Jean-Nicolas Verreault and Mathieu Tremblay-Noel. The twenty-seven athletes comprising this year's team are to be commended for their work ethic, sportsmanship and irrepressible spirit. A. Elliot M.V.P. Jean-Nicolas Verreault A.

Despite not having a league in which to play, the team forged on and improved substantially throughout the season. The Spartans compiled a 5 wins, 9 loss, 4 ties record which at first glance seems like a dismal season. However. 7 of these losses were by one goal decisions. With the exception of a couple of games, Stanstead played an exciting, team oriented style which strongly emphasized skillful passing and attacking. Particularly pleasing were fantastic efforts and wins against Royal St. George’s College of Toronto (who were eventual CAIS Tournament finalists). King's Edgehill of Nova Scotia, LCC of Montreal and Galt. The Spartans always raised their performance against more experienced and favored opposition. Specific mention must be made to Senior “S” winners Gustl Eder, Luis Melendez and Javier Merino for exhibiting those characteristics that every team-oriented organization must have. Dedication, versatility, positive attitudes and strong work ethics on a constant basis were their keys to success. Congratulations to Major “S” winners Keith Nunziata, Pat Rowan, captain Darren Gray and captain Taweesak (P.I.) Warawong. winner of the Bobby Moore M.V.P.

FALL TERM SENIOR GIRLS’ SOCCER COACH: Mr. E. Van Dyke CAPTAIN: M. Lill The Stanstead Senior Girls' soccer team had a different mission than in years past. Win or lose, we were going to play proper soccer. Intelligent soccer. Control soccer. Instead of kick and chase, we wanted to pass and communicate. And luckily, this year's group of athletes was skilled enough and smart enough to do It. By the end of the too-short season we could see the results of our endless control drills. We beat a Seminaire Salesienne team 2-1 after losing to them 6-1 earlier in the season. And we were obviously the better squad against rival BCS in our final meeting, convincingly dominating them in a 1 -0 win. Congratulations to Senior “S” winners Lesley, May and Isabelle, Major "S" winners Sam and Tamara, and Trophy winner Captain Lill. And many thanks to the entire team for being the most coachable group I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Every single player subscribed to the team concept , adjusted their game to fit the team, and had fun doing it. Can’t wait till next year. Coach Erik Van Dyke Spectrum 2000 COACH: Mr. G.

The Junior Boys made a good showing with a victory over BCS rivals up the road. Due to unforeseen circumstances concerning shorts, the early- season practices consisted of a great deal of mnning and fitness training. This paid off with an improved level of stamina and a reduction of injuries. Tire team realty did hit its collective stride in the second half of the season, though, with strong victories against B.C.S.. at home, and Centennial Academy, L.C.C. and West Island College, in Montreal. Indeed, the first of the two major highlights of the team’s performance was a brilliant game against L.C.C. who were worn down by excep- tional skill and determination, carried out in adverse weather conditions. The climax to the season came on the traditional ETIAC day at Lennoxville when the side put on two tremendous displays of talent and sports- manship. preserving its composure in the Final’ to beat the team from Knowlton convincingly. The overall results were: 8 wins. 5 losses and 1 tie. Congratula- tions to all the players and Mr McNamara for nis co- coaching. An enjoyable and productive season!

We started out strong by winning against BCS 4-2 in our first home game and then we had a series of loses but the girls never gave up trying. Then came the last day of our season where as always everything came together and we played our best game of the season which ended with a heart breaking tie of 2-2 against Knowlton. Although this was a tough season, the Junior Girls this year attained two of their majors goals which were to communicate on the field and the second was to work as a unit. We want to thank the team for their dedicated efforts and for making this season a very special one, Congratulations to the four girls Sarah Elliot.

The 1999 season started in disappointing fashion for the Bantams. The break in the schedule provided through the public school’s work to rule proved to be something of a blessing in disguise. Stanstead fought close games against Knowlton, Lenoxville and BCS, four times coming out the loser by the odd goal. The highlight of the season however was the second game against Centennial, where a late Shanny Breton goal leveled the scores and provided the team with their best result of the season. The play and work level of captain Alex Couet-Moiin and fellow award winner, Michael Studli were an inspiration throughout the season, each being involved in many of the teams better moments. Special mention also goes to Aaron Gingras for his goals and link play as the sole striker, and to Alex Marcotte for his line saves throughout the season. Nonetheless, the reason for the improvement of this team was their synergy, therefore all members deserve thanks and praise for an enjoyable season. Coach Mark Salkeld Stanstead College Back: H.

Caitlin and Gabrielle were versatile playing both defence and goalie. Our forwards were strong this year with returning students Chiaki, Katie, and, Sarah. Add to that the high quality new students: Bianca and Paloma and it is easy to see why we spent most of the time around the other team’s goal.

Nevertheless, all 36 individuals managed to bond together to have a great season. I’m sure we all have one thing in common. . . every ninner probably got lost at least once out on the trails. Throughout the season, we had tots of laughs in terms of mud — Sarah, Judy, Melissa, Lucille, and Meagan. The students always supported one another . As well, Cristobal got so tired from winning medals that he rested on the shelf in the bus. One cannot round to the closest minute particularly when Lauren won a gold medal by a mere 4 seconds.

The new forwards and the returning guards and how they could handle the pace of the senior level Is what would dictate our ultimate success. Our league schedule was somewhat light until the return of the work-to-rule schools in late January. Stanstead hosted the Anderson-Bailly tournaments and, as usual, put on a line show. It was the highlight of the sports season for our own basketball teams as well as those who came to visit us that weekend. (Just ask TP, Shaq, and the coaches from St. John's!) We managed to go undefeated and won the Anderson plaque for the first time in tournament history. We were on a tear at that point of the season, winning eight games in a row. Our three forwards became unstoppable as long as we could get them the ball in the paint. Our highlight game came against Galt, when we soundly defeated them at home in one of our best performances of the year. It was probably the first time in ten years that we defeated Galt In a league game. Our low point came the next day against BCS, a team which we had beaten all year long. We ended up losing to them in what can only be described as a brutal game in all respects - poor play, no game clock, etc. By an ironic twist, they went to the ETIAC playoffs over us. We were bitter, especially since we had proved that we could play with the best teams in the league. Our victory in the Anderson did win us a spot in the Visser. where we once again met up with Galt. The game was tied at half, but they eventually pulled away. Our season came to an end but we had many positives to look back upon. At the very least, we look forward to starting next season with a group which expects to win their share of games. Taweesak .as the team captain, led the squad. This year he played to his potential and was a strong and positive leader who also won numerous tournament all-star awards. Massimo became a real player and David contributed well offensively. Jack made positive contributions, ian did his usual good job as manager, ffopefuily everyone learned a lot and enjoyed the season. Coach Andre Simard 82 y Stanstead College Back row: Mr. E.

While success is nice, it is more important that this group was truly a TEAM. They were a joy to work with. No dissention. no pettiness (except for the occasional sisterly spat). Team performance always superceded individual stats. The girls respected and supported each other. They loved to leam, they competed hard, and they knew how to have fun. Thanks to our captains.

We had a difficult season against teams that were physically bigger and stronger. At the LCS tournament in Montreal, the boys started to play together as a team, anticipating passes and putting offensive plays together. By the time we went to the BCS tournament in the spring, a different team had taken the court (even though it might not have been evident on the scoreboard).

It was going to be a challenge but we were confident that we could shape this group into good basketball players. Two things became very evident; we had a young team and we were "vertically challenged”, excluding Shannon, of course. What we started out with at the beginning of the season and what had transformed by the end, was truly amazing. Confidence, self- assurance and a sense of pride could be seen in all of the players. It was a pleasure to watch the girls as the season unfolded. Highlights from the season were: Everyone on the team scoring a basket in a game against RRHS, Bianca scoring for the opposing team by doing a perfect lay-up In our basket.

In a short period of time they became strong competitors and held their own on the courts. When we travelled the boys and girls demonstrated class and good sportsmanship, not only in the way they won, but also in how they lost.

Basically our season consisted in playing Bishops College School, and our record against them was 4-2. The high point for us as a team came in their tournament where we opened with a win against B.C.S., and then played Royal St Georges in the second game. It was an extremely hard fought 1-1 draw for most of the game, but it slipped away from us as with 3 seconds left. Between us and the final now stood RCS Netherwood, a burly group of Maritimers. We never once backed down, though, and despite the adversity of the previous day hung on to win 3-0. This victory was particularly sweet as a coach, because it showed a lot of character to win when it would have been easier to quit. The final was against Royal St Georges.

We lost 2 to 1 to ECS but we put on a great show. What made this team so great is that out of those 17 girls, we had 5 nationalities and girls from grade 7 to grade 12.

They were an excellent group to work with and to especially coach .Our team was determined to always better their times and improve their strokes and we were beside them every step of the way. We were also very lucky to have two very fantastic and competent swimmers Darren and Genevieve B. to be our captains and to constantly volun- teer their help to the other swimmers on the team. We also got the opportunity while travelling at other schools to realise how lucky we are to have the facilities that we have even though it did get hot and scratchy in the water once in a while. Furthermore we had a fantastic season. Where we did not have much time to train between meets and less time to train for the final GMAA competition but we still competed against Club swimmers and we still made our presence felt winning 15 medals and ribbons all together. It was truly a pleasure for us to coach such a talented and determined team. Both their performances, progress and behaviour made us feel proud anywhere we traveled and that goes to show how special this team was. Eugene and Jean-Michel were our two rookie swimmers and they really added energy and spice to our practices.

I would like to thank the swim team for making this season one of the most successful we have had in the past and to wish them good luck in their future endeavours.

Keeble The ski team started out as a rather large one, with about 20 students. In the end, it consisted of four dedicated and hard-working girls: Jo-Annie. Sany, Caitlin and Amber. For a while, it looked like we may become the Winter Cross- Country Running, Weight-Training. Tae Bo, and Intramural Team. However, the snow did come after Christmas and we were able to enjoy many days of skiing. I had an interesting challenge before me this year. Two of the team members had skied before. I’ll never forget the first day we decided to do the campus loop. Helping girls up and down small hills proved to be a workout in itself. That's the day we earned the name THE PENGUINS. At the start, we did a snow dance to make it snow. Richard asked us to stop dancing at this point and we had to agree. We discovered this one day when we decided to venture off behind Sunnyside beyond the bicycle path. I can still see Amber having trouble standing up. Jo-Annie bopping to her music, Sany laying in the snow on her back yelling, “Miss, I fell down!”. What an adventure! That day we all learned about orientation. As long as you keep the church steeple in your sights, everything is okay. I wish that everyone could have received an award at Sports Assembly. All of the girls gave it their all every day and showed enthusiasm toward their sport. Congratulations to Caitlin for winning the Cross-Country Ski Award this year. Her dedication and level of skill were outstanding. Thank you for a great season girls. See you next year.

Stanstead College The 2000 Senior Rugby season was highly successful once again as the team won fifth consecutive undefeated titles in ETIAC League and Playoff Championship as well as repeat Montreal GMAA 7's Champions. The team opened the season in early April with a long ride to the Cheny Blossom Tournament in Washington, D.C. to finish with a 1-1 record where they met teams from Boston and Connecticut Unfortunately extreme weather cut the tournament short and the team returned early to Stanstead to be greeted by a foot of snow! The season continued under more favourable conditions with a successful trip to TCS in Port Hope. Ontario for the National Independent Schools Tournament and finished with respectable 2-2 record. These two early tournaments proved to be invaluable experience gained as the team went on to be undefeated in all league and exhibition play (8-0-0) against teams from Vermont, New Hampshire, Ontario and Quebec. Major "S’ winners included captain Jean Nicolas Verreault (winner of Donald A. Ross Trophy), Darren Gray, Mathieu Tremblay-Noel and Alex Anderson. Tire Senior ‘S' was awarded to Brian Chen and YJ Oh. Thanks are extended to all the players for their efforts in a superb season! CoachesNorman Southward and Mark Salkeld Spectrum 2000 SPRING TERM SENIOR GIRLS' RUGBY COACHES: Miss 1 . Simard Miss B.

Spring 2000 was a successful season for the senior girls' rugby team. I did not expect the team to become ETIAC champions again this year but they pull through and did it. This year was a building year, out of the 25 players, only 8 had played before. They leamt a great deal about what it takes to become good rugby players and play together. Our season did not start very well in the NIS tournament but once we got the first vic tory against TCS, there was nothing and nobody to stop us, not even the New England champions.The GMAA 7's tournament will also be one to remember even though we lost in the finals in overtime. Our championships finals was a very stressful one but thanks to everybody’s hard work, determination and Tamara’s 3 tries, we won in second overtime 15-10 against Massier-Vanier. I am looking forward to work with most of you next season, it will not come fast enough. One thing is for sure, we had our share of overtime this year and hopefully will have none next season. Congratulations to Tamara Jacobi, the Roger Marino trophy winner and to the other Major S winners: Genevieve Laquerre, Genevieve Bettez, Sofia Iglesias, Isabelle Chavarie and Tamara and senior S winners: Danielle Comeau, Sarah Elliot, Victoria Rocke and Sam Granoski.

Although it was short because of the rainy month of May, we did manage to play in a number of tournaments this year, including the Sehvyn House Invitational where our top 4 represented their school and teams exceptionally well. We participated in ETIAC; played and defeated schools such as Galt and MVR, giving the teams the 2nd place win. The players were competitive and held their own on the courts. They exhibited class and sportsmanship. Miss Campbell and Mr. Williams are very proud of our players overall and wish them all the best in the coming year. Special congratulations go to Javier Merino for winning the boys shield and to Lucille Villasenor for winning the girls shield. Adam “Pee Wee" Parker and Gustl Eder your leadership, sportsmanship and hard work are greatly appreci- ated! See you next season!

We faced several teams, some of which were strong in terms of skill, and others which were simply stomg physically. Much of the team is made up of bantam age players and they showed a lot cf courage, playing usually much bigger teams. In our bantam games we fared better int erms of wins and losses, as we posetd a record of 2 and 1 through three games. I am certain that had the season been just a little bit longer, the junior team would have begun to have had similar success. Neverhteless, many players showed great character and desire and I want to thank each of them for their commit- ment to the team and their refusal to quit even though at times it would have been easier to do so. Thanks for the great season. Coaches Chris Shannon and Christian Wells 102 V' Stanstead College Back row: L. Campbell, J. Pape, S. Breton, Miss M. Mihaljevic. P. Ross. A. Gingras, J. McRae.

Despite the wet spring, we managed to do our tryouts in North Hatley and made our team. We had two returning players - Taweesak and Ricardo - and six new golfers. Our season involved daily play at Eiufferin Height CC and lots of ham'n’cheese bag lunches. We played in four tournaments, with the best individual performance being Taweesak's Low Gross at MVR and the best team performances a win at Richmond and a tie for first at our own invitational. There was an ETIAC League this year, with each of the four tournament results counting towards the championship banner. We placed second to MVR and the ETIAC. The internal team champion is decided by a four day 36-hole tournament. This year there were two dose fights: between Justin and Taweesak for the first place; and Ricardo, Tom and FT for third. Taweesak ended up taking the plaque as team champion with Justin in second and Ricardo in third. Thanks to all the boys for the enjoyable season - we played every day whether raining or sunny and they all were serious and improved over the course of the season. Thanks to the coaches - Chandler, McNamara, and Simard - for doing an extra sport in order to see this pregram take place. Coach Andre Simaid 104 . Stanstead College Spectrum 2000 Back: J.D. Ross, J.

The Ant's Demise By Joshua Hansen Scuttling across the floor went the little ant Searching for food for its tribe About half-way across it began to sweat and pant As IT sensed an uncomfortable vibe. In the past the ant was more careful Seeking food only by night Driven out by hunger it began to grow fearful Hunger, one ant cannot fight. Now as the ant's limbs were shaking A shadow crept across the floor In fear a last leap the ant was making When a boot, the ant's body tore So remember the ant as a token As YOU SWEAT, TOIL AND PANT For life is a gift that can be broken Therefore, we are a lot like an ant.

But it's not like that at all. For a gift is something that you should never forsake. Just as long as the gift’s given in good faith. Keep it there in your heart, And don 't think about the past. ■ You don't think You just remember, And it will carry you through the bad and good. You ’re you and nobody else, So remember that, every day. Keep it up and you ’ll remember, What you 've done right for a change. Determination is the key, and you will go far.

I’m so grateful that I have people like you in my life. I would also like to thank all the teachers for their support, but a special thank-you goes out to Mr.Denney, Mr. Van Dyke and Mr.Chandler for making this year so enjoyable. To my friends. I’ll never forget you guys even though we'll all be going our separate ways. Despite the rough times, you were the ones that made it all worthwhile. I’ll never forget these past 6 years and I don’t think I could because they are a part of me now. After being here for such a long time they’ve managed to carve themselves into my character. Thanks to everyone who has made a difference in my life, however small it may have been, trust me. it didn't go unnoticed. These past 2 years have been a very interesting and outstanding experience. I learned how to not hit people when I really wanted to and how to appreciate good food when I went home. But the most important thing is that I met incredible people and have many great memories that I will never forget. I would fust of all like to thank my family for their emotional and financial support. Liz. thanks for initiating me to the Spanish life style. It felt good to let it go in the BCS showers !

Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s been excellent; I will never forget it. I’m out. Jared Givarz Nicolas Gariepy Five years, half a decade, what does one do in most of that time? My senior year will take up all the space. I'll never forget the things like: Finally becoming a prefect! Oct30. Ben Harper with the boys JNV , JG, JD and SP...hey" JN are you okay? Finally getting a senior “S” in football. Spending 12 hours watching Kane play video games. “Hey Nick c’est ta fete!!". And most of all the people. JG (aka PONPON) probably the most bizarre yet great roommate. JN "C'est de la BS", t’aurais pu faire de l’argent avec THERA! DG what can I say. Meagan and Liv you've always been there, just don’t tell stories of my past please! Les, who cares ? Gen, crash pas mon char!! Mr. Simard, you probably know more about me than I do myself. Mr. Wells, you knew it all in my bad times. ..thanks for the philosophy. I will finish by saying that the most important people in life are your friends... don’t ever betray them... .some of you might know what I mean. Stephan Gingras What can I say about Stanstead besides that it was a very interesting place. I have gone to Stanstead for four year and have met people I will never forget. 1 have had great pleasure in seeing the school grow and change. I have made friends from around the world that are now leaving the school. When the school year ends I will find myself looking back over the years and the seeing people that have changed for the better and the friends that have made my life wonderful. 1 wish everyone at Stanstead a great time this summer. The teachers have been great and helped me to learn that it’s not what you know only that your mind is open and that there is more to learn. I hope that Sean, Meg, Olivia, Brian. Isa, PI, and Woo Sung find what they want out of life and find themselves. If we look at our life as book, I have just com- pleted a major chapter of the book. Thanks for the support from everyone, it made Stanstead a fun place. i " 0 ! i i i i t a eg Stanstead College Darren Gray Joon Oh Hwang I loved staying up, drinking coffee all night just to sleep during the classes. Most of you probably think that all I do is break all the rules to put myself in trouble However, I just want to let you know that I have never worked harder in my entire life (believe it or not). Thanks to my parents and friends back in Korea for always being there for me. I would have hated this p ace so much without you guys (you know who you are) being here with me especially Neil, the coolest roommate on this planet earth.

Days flew by quickly and I don’t really want to leave, but all good things have an end. I had such a memo- rable time! I grew and learned a lot through the year. All this has been possible because of my friends, my teachers and my coaches who supported me and showed me that life is great and taught me to enjoy the moment. Just some memories for the people concerned: the squash tournament and the forgotten lingerie, night mission, my break back home, carnival, Le Menteur, Annie, merci pour ton aide, PT et sa coche, night talk with Emily and Liz, Charles et ses 27, je prefere t’...Also I would like Michelle to know that I appreciated her and will miss her very much. Emily, you're the best! (Merci d'avoir toujours ete la pour moi!). Charles, merci pour tous les tendres moments passes en ta compagnie.Tu as toujours ete a mes cotes et ta presence m’est tres precieuse. Finally, thanks to my parents who gave me this opportunity to come to SWC.

I will remember all the things that happened to me here, the good as well as the bad, and they all have taught me a lot. Nitro! 1 never expected to be here for so long, nor that I would get so much out of my time. Over my years here I have changed from a possibility to an actuality. Now, as 1 prepare to leave, I am only beginning to realize how much the people of Stanstead have given me: you'll all remain a part of me forever, for you’ve helped make me who I am. To all my friends, each of I you has made my life richer for your presence - I can’t thank you enough. This year has beei fantastic: special thanks to the Grade 12’s, the basketball team and the Cast— it’s been a blast. Meg. Isabelle, Merle, Brian, Sarah E, Luc and Emmet, I love you all very much— we mustn t ever grow apart. Mr. and Mrs. Wells— I’m in awe of you both Mr Van Dvke thanks for all the good conversation— you’ve gone above and beyond and I’m a better’ nersn, for knowing you. Mom, Dad and Wyatt: far or near, your warmth has always been with me- thank you. It s been a wild ride, but it’s time to move on. Take care y’all and stay in touch. Olivia Moseley i i a i i Stanstead College Isabelle Nazon The most important thing that SWC brought into my life is a greater under- standing of self worth and personal values. This is my fourth year and unfortunately the last. I 'm leaving with a sense of pride knowing that 1 will have a future and hopefully a successful one. SWC has giving me the chance to excel and proven to me that everyone is a winner in their own special way. Choir and Theatre Arts played an incredible role in my life here at school and 1 would like to thank Mr. Telling, Nick. D, Mrs. Wells and all the members, for their support. I would like to thank my friends (you know who you are) for making life here incredible and unfor- gettable. A warm thank you to all the teachers, especially Mr. Duncan my adviser, for being there for me. And last but not least. I would like to thank my parents for all they ve done and for giving me the opportunity to get a higher education and a greater understanding of life. I love you Mom, Dad. Pascale and Fabrice. What would I do without you? Emily Nguyen be first day of school seemed to only happen yesterday and yet it is now ime to say farewell. Time passes by like the breeze; it comes and goes without letting us enjoy ourselves entirely. Although my friends are not lany. they are the best and represent the most pleasant memories of my stay t Stanstead. They taught and helped me to grow. Thank you, Emi for a good _;art of the year, Martha, my favourite psychiatrist, for listening to my complaints, and Bertha for being my friend. To Lizzy, thank you for being my best roomy and thank to Ah Rafor tutoring me whenever I needed it. Particularly to Melissa, who I wish I could get to know better, je te remercie de m’avoir accompagnee aux petits dejeuners et d'etre my best amie. I also had the opportunity to know a magnificent teacher, Mrs. Atkin, who is always there to support and encourage me. I would like to wish you all the best and I am very grateful for everything. It was quite a year! Martha Njoku This year came and went so fast. First and foremost I want to thank my Savior, Jesus Christ for making this entirely possible. Also my parents, because without them this would not have been possible either. To my closest friends, Bertha, Emi. Cream. Emily, to my dearest sister Gift, this -- year was great also because of you guys. To my little sister. Karin, to my special little sister Lauren, I will not forget you.

Mr. Van Dyke, you still won't be able to Chirp, Mr. Chandler. Wild and crazy guy. Mr. Simard (MARTHA!), I don't think I will hear my name called like this anymore and to Mr. Denney, thank-you. I will never forget the great times we all had together, and thanks for the great memories. Shout out to the Wells, the Tellings, Miss Paradis and to Miss. McCurdy, the greatest advisor. PEACE! Young-Joon Oh Jr How unfortunate, I never knew that I had to write ANOTHER Grad write- up. Lots of memories in 5 years. I can’t write everything that I want to write because we only have maximum 990 characters including spaces and punctuation marks. Now get yourself prepared for YOUR grad write up or you may fight over it with Mr. Duncan (the probability of your winning is not guaranteed above 0%). I learned lots of things from Stanstead: I Learned how to get injured, get U's, hours and study hall. I remember the trip to The Molson Center, being Davis mailman for 3 years and the Washington Rugby Trip. Anyway people, no matter how many years you have to survive Stanstead, you’ll have great memories, success, and conn- dence, become a more mature and determined person (Is this good advertisement Mr. Elliot.) Special thanks to my advisor Mr. Salkeld (I never understood what he was saying during advisee meeting) Mr. Chandler, I mentioned your name last year, so don t try to kill me. Spectrum 2000 Chatvalai Phromburl I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by, and all I can do now is hold on to the memories I've had. This past year was the most tun and productive year I've learned a lot through many tears and laughter. Thanks to all of my friends for each smile that have made my days, friendly chats, and for being who you are I'll never forget any ot you especially, Emi. It s unbelievable how much we think about food, aishiteru. Bertha, your hugs are unforgettable; Martha, I know we’ll keep our “ No “ to the end. Gift, The cutest.. ..Thanks!.

I am proud to love someone so completely. You are gold to me and now I know the difference between gold and brass. (Ben Harper). JD. I’ ve been at S WC for three years and sadly the end has come so quickly. 1 can't believe I will not be returning to the Stanstead I have become attached to.

Macotte thank you for always taking care of me and of course my greatest gratitude goes to my family, especially my mom and my sis. I’m so happy that I could spend my time here at SWC and I’ll never forget those memories. I was asked to describe my year at Stanstead in 990 spaces. Everyone complained that their wasn’t enough space on the sheet, but I think that there is too much space, and it’s a little intimidating. As for my year, I owe everything to my best friend and girlfriend Liz, aka (animal friend). From every break to Vallarta and the movies, I had the time of my life, thanks baby. Sorry Carolina for the damaged furniture. You will catch me one day Noel. Sam, thanks for the info on summer camps. To my bro JD and that annoying person across from us and his sack lunches (let the big dog eat). To my line-mate Pat, what a year (sorry about the spaghetti).

James Ross Stanstead College Michael Shearer A whole year is hard to sum up in a few sentences. However, I would like to begin with thanking all of my teachers, showing me that if 1 put my mind to something anything is possible. Thanks you to my parents for giving me this great opportunity. I have met so many great life long friends. JD and Justin have shown me the ways. 1 have them to thank for my secure presence at the college. Felix and Clemens have kept me sane through these long months Our long discus- sions and hip-hop session were the bomb. You guys are great friends. Jared, thank you for making me laugh.

Thanks to Lucille for being there for me, to Isabelle for being so unique, to Neil, my fitness man, to Gen, my fitness inspiration. Thanks to all of the beautiful babes for making my year so enjoyable and to all of my friends in Ottawa. Finally I would like to thank Mr. Chandler for teaching me responsibility & the rules of life. Woo Sung Sim ;till remember the day when I first came to Stanstead and now I have to :ave after spending 4 years. Sometimes I really hated this place, but now I tve to move away, and I'm sad that 1 have to leave. I’ve had so many great mories, and I met many friends here at Stanstead.

Especially for my friends: my best roommate who supplied all the food all year around, Matt, Stephan (the F-farmer), Charles, Olivia, Brian, Isa, Darren, Steve, and all the Korean crew.

Spectrum 2000 Jean -Ni c o la s Ve rreaul t It’s legitimate that the way someone will be depends a lot on the environ- ment in which he had been in when he was a kid. This environment for me was SC My views on the school changed a lot in 4 years of isolation. At 1 st , this place seemed to me like hell but 1 then gained enough maturity to realize _____ all the good it would do me in the long run. Things will always be the way you want them to be. There are so many perspectives and philosophies and I learned to believe and live on my own. Many contributed to my learning, 1 my parents, merci pour le support et la patience et tous vos efforts pour faire de moi ce que je suis maintenant, my sister for working hard to keep a close relationship with me through my independence and all of those who supported and respected me in the last 4 years. No need to mention the friends, staff and parents that helped me grow since we 11 be keeping in touch. Live in the present, but make sure you don’t regret the past. I am now on to the next step. Lucille Villasenor Throughout the year, I have learned that not everything will go as I planned, and the only thing I can do, is to suck it in and move on forward with my life and my future and see the past as memories and lessons. I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank the people who have always been by my side: Miss Campbell (Mini Miss) and Mr. Chandler -best friends and advisers a student can ever have.

Some of my friends aren’t coming back and I will miss them, but those memories I made with you guys will always be here to support me. It s impossible to recall the facts, but it is possible to recall my memories. ..Kane. Massimo, Gustl, Luis and all the friends I made. This feeling and appre- ciation are difficult to express with my English, so I will put all of my thoughts into a word. Thank you.... I also thank my parents who have made my stay at Stanstead possible. Without your help and support I could not have done this. Kansya shimasu. Valerie Bonneau Lucia Arroyo When 1 decided to come to Stanstead, I never thought I would learn so much. I will always remember this as one of the greatest experiences I have ever gone through, and I want to thank my parents for the opportunity. I want to thank all my friends because without them this wonderful experience wouldn't have been the same. I wish I could have enough space to express how much you all mean to me. A mis siete hermanas, gracias, por estar siempre ahi. Jime, gracias por ser como eres, cumplimos nuestro sueno! Roomy room, I won t forget you. Val nena, te adoro. Mat, what can I say to my eating partner? Lucille gracias por todo. Lionel, corazon, tqm. Gustl, my tutor, Jess, July, Sam, Stef, Jo.... Thanks to every one who made this year so great. Good Luck! to all. Last but not least I want to thank all my teachers and coaches, because you all taught me more than what you think. Coming to Stanstead was, for me, a big opportunity. I made a lot of unfor- gettable friends and here is a little word for each of them. Thanks to my sister who almost burned Webster down on my birthday; Lucia who taught me what the word “messy" really meant; Isabelle, for being the best friend I could possibly have, and with whom I learned that Gaspd was actually part of Canada... Gen, with whom I flooded the basement doing laundry. Do you remember Gen? Mis favoritas cabronitas, Sophia, Carolina, Jimena who were great friends. Claudia and Ana, my Mexicans sisters. Sandra, with whom, in Austria, I learned what PAY-TV was all about!!! Special thanks to Mr. Simard and Mr. Denney, who made me discover the world. And most of all, I would like to thank my parents who were always there, supporting and encouraging me. They believed in me from the beginning to the end. Love you mom and dad! I will never forget all my friends from Stanstead (you know who you all are). Keely Bujold When I first found out 1 was coming to Stanstead I didn’t know what to expect. I didn't think I could be happier here than at my old school. Oh, how wrong I was. Being someone who really enjoys sports I found it convenient to have mandatory sports activities. I adjusted quickly and made many friends I feel I’ll have forever. The classes are smaller and there is more of a one on one relationship with the teachers. This helped my marks reach an average I never thought achievable. Had it not been for this I would not be where I am today. The school has enabled me to succeed and reach standards I never thought possible. I am thankful for this and the support of my family and friends.

But I am not going to say who because I might make some jealous. I learned a lot here, a lot in school, a lot in sports but I think that I learned more about myself and everything that is around me than anything else, and I am thankful for that. That is why 1 would like to thank my parents who wanted me to be here for a year, the teachers who are so dedicated to their students and jobs, to Stanstead which is a place where you can learn more than you think (not only in school). But, most important I would like to thank myself for having understood and learned a lot of things, I would like to give special thanks to the friends that were here everyday: Jimena, Jess, Juliana, Judy, Steph, Lucia, Megan, Claudine, Melissa, Samara , Lucille and to all of the others that I'haven’t named.

Juliana Pape The few years that I W^b^to^FStanstead College have been quite a different experience than I’d expected. I’d thought that it would be a little more rigid and have more traditions, but it s actually a casual place where you can feel welcome. Here’s a warning tor the newcomers, though sometimes the food can be inedible. The campus is pretty small but in the spring it’s beautiful. But in winter, which continues right up until April, a jacket definitely be advised in this cold climate. Felix Probst Stanstead College Paul Saw ay a First of all, I would like to thank my parents who have given me the oppor- tunity to come to Stanstead. By allowing that, I have lived the most wonder- ful and useful experience of my life. I’d also like to thank all of my teachers that have been very kind to me from the very beginning. During this past year. I have learned and discovered many things about life and myselt that I wouldn’t have discovered anywhere else. I've build up an exceptional relationship here at Stanstead with everyone around me which I will never forget. I’d just like to say that I m going to miss every single one of my friends here with whom I have spent wonderful moments and unforgettable memories. Juli, Claudine, Megan, thanks for your support throughout the year. To my girlfriend Jess, I love you and you'll always stay in my heart; (how’s my little smurf doing?). Jean-Nick. Frank, le Mexique c’etait 1 fun. The experience I have lived at Stanstead was one of a kind. It has made great changes in my life, which I am very thankful for. Cheng Hung (Peter} Sum Three years, it seems to be a long time, but I feel like I just arrived in this piece of beautiful land. It is as if everything is still new and fresh to me and every memory of life at Stanstead is still as clear as crystal. Although not all things I remember are sweet and happy, I believe it will be a pleasure 1 recalling them. As a Bugbee senior it has been a pretty special year. I really I have to thank Kane who provided a lot of drinks, food and his big lounge. Without him and his room it wouldn’t be fun in Bugbee with just two seniors and four prefects. So, thanks a lot Kane! I really don't have much else to say because I’m going to stay for another school year. So, to those who are going to leave me at the end of the school year, enjoy the rest of 1 your life and I wish all of you luck! Bye. Thomas Spirk Well, two years at Stanstead.

Walk beside me and be my friend. Albert Camus May Tagalik Coming to Stanstead is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Everyone is so kind here and the academic programs are excellent. But, what brought me to Stanstead are the sports programs. I really love playing sports because when you are on a team you meet new friends and everyone has fun. I would like to thank my coach Mr. Van Dyke for two great seasons of soccer and basketball. You have taught me so much, thank you. I would also like to thank Miss Simard, one of my rugby coaches, for teaching me how to play rugby when I didn't know how to play at all., thank you. Last but not least, I would like to thank my advisor who is also one of my rugby coaches for teaching me so much about life. You were always there for me and you helped me all the way through. I couldn’t have done it without you, thank you very much.

Kensuke, do you eat your spaghetti plain or with sauce? Special thanks to Mr Ashworth (I’ll miss your brownies!). Mrs. Atkin (you’ve been a great coach), and Ms Mihaljevic for always lending an ear. To my parents, thanks for all the love and support And once again, to all of you guys from Stanstead. thank you.

The year has passed by so fast, and soon all there will be left will be great memories and loving friends. Thank you mom and dad, you made it possible for me to come here. I love you. Miss Mehalevic, you are the sexiest advisor ever, thanks for being always there for me. Seymour, I’ll never forget my roomy. Our exercise, our camp-stories, I love you sweetie.

And to Mr. Telling, Mrs. Wells and the TMHTC-crew, thanx for teaching me how to cry! Mr. Simard and Mr. Elliot, thank you for letting me be part of the football-team! Hey Justin, haha.

Wow, the time flew so fast, but 1 had such a great time here. 1 had opportuni- ties to try other stuff that 1 was not able to do at home. I got to know many people. So, um. . . I'd like to thank God for providing this lucky chance to me. I also thank my parents, who were always praying for me. I thank my dear teachers who supported me sharing their humungous knowledge. 1 also thank my friends who helped me when 1 was lost. 1 thank my dear roommate who was always ready to listen to me.

Darren Gray The Pitcher Memorial Prize - The School’s Highest Award Jean-Nicolas Verreault Spectrum 2000 Prize - Giving Mr. Paul Duncan Paul uncan was born in Illinois City, Illinois where he received his early education. He went on to arlinville, llinois where he attended Blackburn College and attained his B.A. While at Blackburn he met his wife Dorothy whom he married on Jan. 30. 1960 in ille. Paul’s first teaching job was in Joliet, Illinois where he taught Social Studies in 1959 - 1960. During the summer of I960 Paul and Dorothy pulled up stakes and moved to Sitka, Alaska where, in September 1960, Paul started teaching at Sheldon Jackson College - a school similar to ours. He started teaching History and Geography and ended by teaching French full time. While in Sitka Paul and Dorothy’s first two children, Greg and Natalie were born. In 1963, with two young children in tow, Paul and Dorothy moved to Schenectady, New York where Paul taught French for one year. In 1964 it was time to hit the road again and back they went to Sitka, Alaska where Paul put in three more years at Sheldon Jackson College. It was at the end of this three year period that Paul and Dorothy adopted a child. Bruce. Paul and Dorothy, with their three children, then moved into the married student residence at the University of British Colum- bia in Vancouver and while there, adopted yet another child, Lynnea. While at UBC Paul studied for and received his M.A. degree in French while working as a teaching assistant in the French Department at the university. Both Sitka and Vancouver were the places Paul enjoyed the most before coming to Stanstead. The students at Sheldon Jackson College were boarders from all over the state and the relationships which he and his family were able to establish will long be remembered. He loved the outdoor life, the camping, the hiking and the proximity to the sea, the mountains and the forests. In 1969 our then Headmaster, Raymond Lester, invited Mr. Duncan for an interview and offered him the position of Head of the Languages Department. This was pleasing for the Duncans on two counts. Firstly, they had studied French during two summer sessions, one at the Universite de Laval and another at McGill and they loved Quebec. Secondly, it allowed them to return to the private school milieu. So, in the summer of 1969, Paul, Dorothy and their four children headed east for Stanstead, Quebec and a whole new chapter in their lives. Paul soon got involved in athletics. He took over the intramural program for his first year and then moved to cross-county skiing which he was in charge of until 1979. In those days this program was far more involved than it is today and had many more students participating. We raced against other schools and had many a championship team. For most years that Paul was in charge we sent a large group of students to the Canadian Marathon. During these years hiking and camping also filled Paul’s life and it was while he was involved in outdoor ed that the school acquired a van, camping equipment and the Fitch Bay cabin. Paul spent many a weekend with students hiking and camping and generally having a good time away from school. Paul ran a club called "Contact francais" for many years and was involved in public speaking" in the French language. In 1987 he joined me as an advisor for the SPECTRUM and has been a very valuable asset. The fact that he has put up with me for thirteen vears is a feat in itself. Paul started out as Language Department Head, a position he has held for all but one of his thirty-one years here. He was the University Advisor for three years and was responsible for the academic program in the Junior School that was in place from 1973 to 1 977. He then became Senior Department Head followed by an appointment as Dean of Academics. I asked Mr. Duncan what he enjoyed most about Stanstead College and I will quote his reply, because it depicts Mr Duncan so well.“I have thoroughly enjoyed the close knit family style of life here and the friendships I have established with students and colleagues. I especially treasure the student contacts which have turned into friendships of many years standing and I get much enjoyment from hearing from them and from their visits with us. Of course, I absolutely love teaching French and the best part of the day is when I am in the classroom”. v Mr. Duncan has provided us with an excellent French Language Program and stalwart leadership He has developed a strong and consistent program for the teaching of French and Spanish which meets the needs of students from varying backgrounds' and dilferent experiences in the study of French. As the years have gone by the program has become many facetted and more and more complex but it can stand up to any scrutiny. He has had an excellent record of success Paul was one of the founders of the Stanstead College Association of Teachers and served as its President for several vears Paul and Dorothy will not be going far as they will keep their beautiful home in Stanstead. I do know that they will spend ‘ several months ot the year travelling. Dorothy has already made plans for a trip to Sweden where they both intend oil studying the Swedish language. They also hope to spend a few months in Portugal to get away from our cold winters and no doubt there will be many short trips to visit their children and their grandchildren. However, they will always return home - to Stanstead Paul, thank you. We will miss you and Dorothy bui you will be in our thoughts. Please come back ^aud visitThe s hool £ you two have given so much of your lives to. y Peter Ashworth Stanstead College Mme. ISABELLE PARADIS Isabelle Paradis has been associated with Stanstead College in several capacities for the past sixteen years. She came here in 1984 as a grade seven student and undertook the task of learning English and beginning her studies, which she continued through university, in that language. After finishing grade eleven at Stanstead, she went to Brescia College of Western University where she finished her Bachelor of Arts degree. Having decided to become a teacher of French, she attended \ McGill University and completed her Diploma in Education and then taught French in Montreal for ! one year. During those years she visited Stanstead often, because her brother Frangois was here. She took up the challenge of working for the Stanstead College Language Adventure for three summers as an Outdoor Leader and House Director. In 1997 she accepted a contract as a teacher of I French and Spanish. We thought she was a natural candidate for the position, and she never hesitated. During these last three school years she has shown us her dedication to teaching, her sense of duty and commitment to her students. She has spent many hours preparing materials for her French and Spanish classes and one would often find her in the classroom in the evenings or during the weekend. At the same time she has been involved in coaching soccer and swimming. Being Assistant Director of Webster has occupied any other time she might have been able to find. She has shown by her commitment to doing good work that her tenacity and precision, first por- trayed when she arrived at Stanstead in grade seven, have always been key elements in her suc- cess. Her goals are well defined and she accomplishes them. Her involvement has allowed her to establish many strong and long-lasting relationships with students and colleagues. ! For me, it has been an honour to have known and worked with her over these years. I was her teacher for three years, a co-worker in the Language Adventure and a professional colleague as a fellow teacher of French. She has told me that we always seem to be on the same wave length when it comes to methods and strategies of the teaching of language, especially French. She learned a great deal at Stanstead College, and we have all learned from her over the years. ! We wish her much happiness in her upcoming marriage and her new teaching position in Toronto. Please keep in touch, Isabelle. Stanstead will miss you.
