In 1974 he came to Shawnigan to set up the jazz and modern language program. Before he left in 1981 he had been Housemaster of Lonsdale ' s for 4 years and Groves ' for 1 year. After leaving Shawnigan, Mr. Bean spent a year developing his own music and language skills. Following this he worked at Brentwood in their music program. He is currently working with bands in both Shawnigan and Brentwood. His hobbies all revolve around music and his favourite author is Albert Carnus. He hopes the musicians in the band will get something more than just the music. Already the band program is picking up his beat in enthusiasm for coming concerts. We look forward to hearing what Mr. Bean can develop at Shawnigan and we wish him many happy years of success. D. Murchie (Grade 8) MR. BRIANA. CARR Mr. Brian Anthony Carr was born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, however his high schooling years were spent at Brentwood College. He graduated from Brentwood in 1980 and is presently attending the University of Victoria. After his day classes at the University he works at Shawnigan, coaching Rugby and Rowing and as a tutor in Lake ' s House. In his spare time he plays rugby for Cowichan and enjoys photography and eating lasagna. We wish him all the best during his stay at Shawnigan. Albi De Nardi (Grade 8) NEW STAFF MR. DAI WILLIAMS Mr. Dai Williams was born in Vancouver, B.C., and attended Brentwood College for his high school years. Following Grade 12 he attended both Simon Eraser University and the University of British Columbia, graduating in 1976 with a Bachelor of Education (1978) degree. He has taught in schools at Eort St. John and Texada Island before joining up at Shawnigan. Mr. Williams will be teaching English and Social Studies as well as coaching Rugby and basketball. We would like to extend our warmest welcome to Mr. Williams and his wife Amber, and their two children, Evan 1 Vz years and newborn Kyle. We trust your stay will be long and enjoyable. Dean Ruttan (Grade 8) 10 CHAPEL This has been a particularly active and successful year for the Chapel. Under the strong leadership and organization of Canon McClelland, the regular services have been spiced up, providing a thought provoking change from the rigours of daily routine. We have had many guest preachers visit this year including Father Leonard Rev. R. Atwell, and Chaplain Thornton of Brentwood College. All gave lively sermons which lent to the great spirit and enthusiasm shown at the services. A number of the staff members gave interesting addresses at the usual Wednesday morning services, on topics which ranged from the plights and perils of living as a modern monk, to the episcopacy of our church and the consecration of the new bishop, the Right Reverend R.F. Shepherd. The School met the Bishop for the first time at the annual confirmation service in March where 14 boys received the Laying on of Hands. Most generously Rev. Harry Houson now living in Victoria, has given of his time again this year to help at the Holy Communion services. Dr. John Madden spoke at this year ' s Founder ' s Day Service and paid tribute to our founder, C.W. Lonsdale by giving a few humorous anecdotes from the School ' s early days. Once again, the School supported Operation Eyesight, an organization concerned with restoring sight to the needy throughout the world. In excess of $2,500.00 was collected; the largest sum yet! The ' new ' Chapel choir has contributed much to the at- mosphere of its services. Under the direction of Mr. Fairbank they have achieved a harmonious sound - a long way from the joyful noises of September and October. The hard work culminated in a joint choral workshop and Evensong with Queen Margaret ' s School. It is hoped that this will become part of the traditions here at Shawnigan. We wish to thank Mrs. McClelland and Mrs. McCracken for the long hours spent making the beautiful flower arrangements each week. The flowers were greatly appreciated, as was the delicious year end barbecue at the McClellands ' for the Sacristans and Servers. Chapel has thrived well despite the ever-present conflict of a rapid paced lifestyle in a school with a few too many things to do all at once. Along with academia and the world of sport, the guidance and support of the Chapel must rank as a very valuable part of the total Shawnigan experience. S. Zens Grade 12 Senior Server and Crucifer 11 CONFIRMATION The period of preparation lasted from October until March - it consisted of one class each week. The day of Confirmation arrived and most of the boys being Confirmed had parents or relations attending. There was one boy who had already been Confirmed who attended the classes and was renewing his vows. The Bishop who was just recently consecrated Bishop was most impressive in his Robes and carrying his Shepherd ' s Crook which he explained was symbolic of his official role as Bishop of his flock. His address was very informed and more relaxed than we expected. The Bishop explained that he had been in his office that morning writing letters and he had finished each one with the words Keep in touch . That, he said, is my text Keep in touch - with God, with your parents, with yourself, and with your friends. The moment of Confirmation when we knelt in pairs in front of the Bishop to receive his Blessing was the climax and awe inspiring. I think that Confirmation was a very big step in my life but as Canon McClelland kept reminding us it is not an end but a beginning. I, for one, will certainly try to keep in touch.

YATES 15 MEDICAL STAFF Dr. W.D. McCauley The medical department in any boarding school plays a very important, but seldom mentioned role. Here at Shawnigan we have two full time registered nurses who share the duties between them. Thus 24 hour coverage is given every day of the school year. The department is divided into two main areas: (1) The ' Surgery ' on the main floor which is the daily examining room - but fully equipped to handle all emergencies: (2) The ' Sick Bay ' (a 9 bed unit: 6 bed main ward - 2 bed isolation room - 1 bed nursing office) plus three bathrooms on the second floor. When boys are admitted to the Sick Bay hospital routine is followed. Daily documented records are kept in both areas. The School medical staff consists of: W. Douglas McCauley, B.A., M.D. - the School Physician who visits the School regularly; Eugene W. Shahariw, D.M.D., - the School Dentist; Mary M. Hyde-Lay, R.N. - Head Nurse, Resident; L. Beth Hall, R.N. - Assistant Nurse, Resident. During Ski Week held in February of each year - usually at Manning Park - a fully equipped Sick Bay is available. The School is fortunate in having the services when needed of Drs. G.A. and U. V. Asche, Hope, B.C. The Cowichan District Hospital (Duncan) is a fully accredited 232 bed capacity hospital (132 Acute Care 100 Extended Care), which covers nearly all specialty areas. Mrs. Hyde-Lay Emergency ard - Operating Room is employed by the hospital part time during the School vacations. The School is very grateful for the assistance and support given by Dr. McCauley, his associates and office staff - also to Dr. Shahariw and his staff and I hope all parents will realize how well served their sons are by our medical team. It has been a busy year but the general health of the boys has been good throughout. M. Hyde-Lay 16 OFFICE STAFF Mrs. Pat Dycl 17 ' ■:- ' ' sK SPORTS ' • ' ••p- X- « 1ST XV RUGBY The first game was an enjoyable group to coach. There were no stars on the team, but there were a number of returnees from the Summer tour to New Zealand and Australia and the 1st XV was built around these players. They always worked hard and cheerfully and produced some very attractive rugby during the season. We preferred the dry going, not being a large side, and our results were not as impressive once the grounds became wet and soft. We were only beaten once, our first encounter at S.M.U. where we lost 22-4 to a very polished team. We conceded 13 tries in 1 1 matches whilst scoring 30 and most of our tries were due to excellent support play. Undoubtedly, our biggest weakness was the lack of a reliable place kicker, as only managing to convert 7 of our 30 tries will attest. In addition, numerous very kickable penalties were missed. The season opened with three good wins over St. Benedict ' s School of Ealing, England (25-3) who were out on a B.C. tour; Oak Bay Juniors U19 XV (16-3); and Hillside Secondary School (25-3). We then received a rude shock going down 22-4 to St. Michael ' s in Victoria. We were well beaten by a smoother side. We followed this game with two more victories, a hard earned 12-3 win over St. George ' s and a much easier one, 22-3 over visiting Magee Secondary School. A well played draw with the S.L.O.B.S. was followed by probably our strongest showing of the season, another draw, this time 7-7 against St. Michael ' s University in a return match. We were unlucky not to win this game. We got back on our winning ways again with a surprisingly easy 22-0 win over Brentwood at home, but ended the season disappointingly, losing an exciting game at St. 1 22 eorge ' s 23-16, and also on return fixture Brentwood where the fired up home taken eked out a narrow, hard fought 10-8 win. Drew Swanson proved to be a fine Captain, enthusiastic off the field and energetic and hard- driving on it. He played lock and was the anchor that solidified the pack in the sets. He was committed and uncompromising in both the tight and loose play and never shirked his duty in any situation. He was sorely missed when injury prevented him from playing in the final three matches of the season. His fellow lock, Brent Gough, also enjoyed a fine season too, and was probably one of the most improved forwards on the team. He was our best lineout jumper. The front row was solid with props, Dave Merry and Paul LeBlanc being very steady. Mike Kobus as hooker was also one of the most mobile of the pack and was always to the fore in all loose play. The back row had some excellent games and flankers, Mashi Akiyama and Roland Brakop, were very quick to the point of breakdown, with number 8, Curt Sigfstead never far behind. Curt, Uke Drew, missed the final 3 matches through injury which weakened our pack co nsiderably. The backs developed well as a unit and their positional play, especially in attack and coun- terattack improved greatly. Roger Schmitt, while Standing: (L. to R.) Mr. D. Hyde-Lay, D. Gough, P.

His fellow half-back our exchange student from New Zealand, Chris Costello, proved to be a very steady fly-back and imparted confidence to the other backs through his sound play in this most difficult of positions to play well. The other backs all ran strongly and defended well, especially Ian McPherson in the centre, while Damian Gough ' s play became consistently reliable by the end of the season. The wings scored some fine tries, particularly Matt Atkinson and Andrew Harke, both of whom are difficult to stop when in full flight. Bud Patel was very steady at full-back, sound under the high punt and ever ready to start a counterattack. This team, therefore, after our unimpressive record of the past two years, played with the style and discipline of some of the more entertaining Shawnigan sides of the past, making all the hard work just that much more worthwhile.

Flaxman The team had the potential to be Independent Schools ' Champions and certainly played at times as if they were. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the defeat of Brentwood by 37-0, all that had been practiced, worked! Also the team performance in the narrow loss to the S.L.O.B.S. was an excellent display of spirit and skill, each team member gave up at least 20 lbs to his opposite number. The team, most ably captained by Tim McGovern, was not a team of stars but one that believed in a combined team effort. Nine of the squad are in Grade Eleven, a factor which is bound to have a positive impact on next season ' s 1st XV. 26 Hillside W 11-0 SMU D 4-4 St. George ' s W 10-3 Brentwood W 37-0 SMU L 12-14 St. George ' s W 9-8 SLOBS L 14-15 Brentwood L 6-13 i. 3RD AND 4TH XV THE 3RD XV Standing: (L. to R.)

Giordano Although our coaches were hesitant about the future, following our first practice the 3rd and 4th XV emerged with a decent record as well as many fine players. Out of a group of fifty hard working souls, Mr. Williams and Mr. Coghlan selected two squads. The 3rd XV were undefeated at St. George ' s and played St. Michael ' s to a loss and a draw. Our last game of the year was no doubt our toughest, as lyaaz Esmail led us into Brentwood territory for the second time this year. A win would have given us a tie for the Independent Schools; a disappointing loss that will be remembered especially by our seniors who were playing their final game for the School. There were many outstanding per- formances on both the 3rd and 4th XV. Newcomers T. McKay, R. Meekison, J. Nye and M. Seguin worked hard and learned quickly to contribute greatly to our success. The experience of B. Carson, R. Nelson, R. Purcell and R. Boehm certainly settled down the forwards, while both back lines were strengthened by the steady play of S. Tang, H. Shinohara, and Y. Soetaniman and G. Seifriet. The positions of scrum-half, on both teams, were admirably filled by D. Howell-Jones and D. Hunter, neither of whom had played the position before this season. One of the highlights of the entire season had to be the combined 3rd and 4th versus the Old Boys. It was an exciting contest with the Old Boys starting out quickly but the School closing the gap in the second half. The boys learned much from the game, and of special interest was the tackling instruction presented by Old Boy and current staff member, Mr. S. Lane.

Pomeroy The Colts team started what was to be quite a successful season under the coaching of Mr. Hall and Mr. Dickens. Even though we had a large number of inexperienced players to begin with we did quite well early in the season beating several public schools. After the initial exhibition games we played in the Mid- Island Championship. There were four schools in the tournament, including our rivals, Brentwood College. Our first game was against Cowichan and we won by a fair margin, which put us into the finals against Brentwood. They posted an early lead but we came back to win the tour- nament with a 16 point victory over Brentwood. We were not very successful against any of the private schools except for Brentwood whom we beat 2 out of the 3 games played. After losing our second game with Brentwood we worked up for the last game of the season, against Brentwood. It was our best game of the season with everybody playing to the fullest of their capabilities. The team led by Garth Friesen and myself, was quite small in comparison with some of the other teams in our league, but what we lacked in size we made up for with skill. The backs were very powerful and benefitted greatly from the strong running and tackling of both Florian Tovstigo and Raul Paredes. Todds Sigfstead set up many of the key plays at fly half opening many scoring opportunities for Fred Martin on the right wing. The size of Mike McPhie and Chris Cottrell and the skill of Scott Flemming made some of our rucking the best in the league. Over all it was a very successful season and because of this there will be a tour in May. S. Wade (Grade 11) 29 Standing: (L. to R.) Mr. M.R. Hall, J. Carlow, R. Chickite, S. Flemming, L. Hill, K.

' (L. to R.) D. Payne, M. Pomeroy Not a very successful season for the Colts B team. We were very short on experience and lacked the basic skills so essential in our Independent School matches. One of the most disappointing aspects of the season was our inability to bear down while under pressure and show our opponents that we wanted to win. This, of course, is due to inexperience but 1 did feel we threw in the towel too early! Despite our weaknesses, there were some very encouraging signs by the end of the season. Given another few months and a few more games the Colts B could be moulded into a very respectable side! Best of luck to those boys moving into Senior Rugby next year. Standing: (L. to R.) Mr. G.

For Phil Schieldrop and myself it was our first time coaching rugby. We had a small group and when game time came around we were able to field an enthusiastic team. At the start of the term there were rumours going around that the Junior Colts would not win a game all year. Once we moved Clark Macdonald into the backs and made Andrew Baycetich captain we won two games. Clive Henshaw and Chris Lloyd must be commended for their great work during the term. There were no stars on the team - only fifteen players who stuck together and never gave up. 1 would also like to thank Phil Schieldrop for giving me a hand in coaching. It was a good experience we both will never forget. Brian Carr (Coach) Standing: (L. to R.) Mr. B. Carr, T. McPherson, M. Graham, A. De Nardi, J. Turk, D. Brooke, M. Johnston, C. Henderson, M.

JUNIOR A S After the first two or three practices we soon reaHzed that our team was above average. Our forwards were by no means big, with the exception of our number 8, Jonathan Holcanson. We were a reasonably small team but had lots of talent both in the backs and in the for- wards. Unfortunately about half way through the season our right wing, Stewart Halliday, broke his foot in a rough game against Brentwood. Even though he was a valuable player, his departure did not stop the team. Players such as Miles Lawrence, John Krotez, Steven Godwin, Jonathan Hokanson and Dave Lionas helped make up for his loss. To our surprise the St. Michael ' s school team was not what we expected and we beat them for the first time in two years. Altogether we had a very successful year.

Lewis For the majority of this team ' s members, this was to be their first taste of rugby. Some, like David Suarez, Miice Walker, and Terry Ruttan, latched on to the sport right away. The majority, however, were somewhat tentative at first. By the end of the season, though, the group was playing with enthusiasm and much improved skills. In fact, the team turned three rather lopsided defeats to the other Independent Schools into two victories and a close loss in each of their second meetings. I wish good luck to all the Juniors in their rugby careers here at Shawnigan. S. Noble THE SLOBS RETURN 33 34 r . J 1 ' J. SENIOR BASKETBALL This years senior basketball programme was headed by the coach, Scott Noble. With lack of height and players, a struggling team of seven players headed out on a long uphill battle. Our first couple of games were shaky, being out muscled under the boards by the taller teams. The skills of the team were lacking, but through hard practicing, we improved every day. Cam Wright and Paul Bryden were the big men on the team ac- counting for many rebounds. Mark Wooldridge and Scott Tang brought up the guards with hustle defence and some effective outside shooting. Richard Kohlen and John Jung were also valuable members of our team with Kohlen being a defensive specialist and Jung being an awesome play maker. Mike Kobus and Brent Gough joined from other sports when possible and contributed to our team. Special mention must go to Fred Martin, the junior member of the team, who played with skill and finesse. Our season had many peaks yet they failed to show in the win column. In many games we were strong un- derdogs but this was a persistent team who would not give up. One of the highlights of the season was the Brentwood game, here at home. In the first half we were overwhelmed by consistent outside shooting. After Mr. Noble settled us down at the half we played the game we had hoped to start with and out scored Brentwood in the second half. The Independent Schools Tournament was held in Vancouver this year, in a very cold gymnasium at St. Georges. In our first match we were up against one of the best schools on the Island, St. Michael ' s University School. We wanted to give them a good game and try to keep the score down.

After a fifteen minute break between games we played the St. George ' s team who lost by one point to Brentwood over a disputed shot in the final seconds. The host team had the lead for the majority of the game until the last three minutes of the final quarter. A time out was called and we went into our quick strike offence. We managed to tie the game up with 30 seconds showing on the clock, but lost in the dying seconds. All in all this year was for the most part a fill-in for basketball. I hope that in future years Shawnigan will become a force on the court - Good Luck next year. Bud Patel 37 UNDER 17 BASKETBALL The team played some excellent games this season against much taller and more experienced opposition. Despite this we placed fifth in the Cowichan Valley League and third in the Independent Schools Tournament. The season started very quickly after Christmas break with only three practices before the first game. From the start of the season, the tough job of working the boards was handled by Brad Jermyn, Mike Kaye and Stephane Tardif. At the guard position Allan Chase, Garth Friesen and Blane Fowler did an admirable job of working the ball up court and setting up the offense. Their im- provement was evident every time out and perseverance and hard work paid off in the final game of the year. The team was further strengthened mid-way through the season with the addition of Steven van Halst, Scott Flemming and Fred Martin. There were many exciting games but the highlight of the season had to be the four game series with Brentwood. We won a very tense first game by two points but the second meeting went to Brentwood quite decisively. The third and final home game of the season started badly, as Brentwood jumped out to a fourteen to nil lead, which they held at the half. With fantastic support from the entire school, the team fought back to within one point with fifteen seconds remaining, but unfortunately lost by three. In the final game of the series and the final game of the season, the team was led by Stephane Tardif, with twenty points, to a deserving victory and a fitting end to a very good season. D.

The team captained by Miles Lawrence had bench strength and as a result the starting five seemed to differ with each game. John Hokanson at centre was a strong rebounder and usually led the scoring. Stuart Wright and John Krotez were starting guards ably backed up by Barnaby Wade and Mike Walker. The team ' s success was a direct result of their high level of skill, the numerous hours spent practicing and their discipline on defence. The future of basketball in the School is bright if this team continues to develop their skills and keeps growing. Standing: (L. to R.) J. Thompson, T. Campbell, C. Soctt, S. Gamache, J. Hokanson, K.

Hoaih The season began in snow and ended in brilliant spring sunshine. Thankfully the Senior Soccer team itself progressed in similar fashion. After struggling through three weeks of West Arm runs, we were able to get out on to the fields. Around this time all the School soccer teams were fortunate to have a coaching clinic from Mr. Alan Churchard, the Chief B.C. Youth Soccer Association Coach. His studied eye convinced the team to adapt its style to its strengths: speed, aggression and direct- ness. The results were soon seen in performances in exhibition games against Brentwood and SMU with whom we tied 2-2 and 0-0 respectively. In between, however, we went to St. George ' s 40 I 1 where we played our worst game. The whole season was to culminate in the Independent School Cham- pionship held at SMU. We faced St. George ' s in the first round and got what we wanted: an early goal. At the start of the second half we were close to making it 2-0 but it was not to be. The strong St. George ' s team came back at us and finally won 2-1. Nevertheless this was a fine team per- formance and augured well for the 3rd place finish game. We came out storming at Brentwood: for many of the team this was to be their last en- counter with the enemy and they enjoyed the match immensely! We won 2-0 with goals from John Jung and Damian Gough but the score could, and should have been far more. Our weakness over the season lay in our inability to score goals: our strength lay in our commitment and oui desire. I should like to thank all the Grade 12 ' s for their spirited performances and look forward to the Grade 1 1 ' s carrying the banner ever further next term. Further congratulations to Mike Kobus captain, and Ronald Brakop for being awarded their School Colours for their fine service to soccer at Shawnigan. P.J. Jarvis ' t U16 SOCCER This year ' s soccer season was very slow in starting for the U16 team, but once properly under way it built swiftly to an exciting climax. Early in the year we wondered if there would be any soccer played at all, but the glaciers finally retreated and from then on the pace picked up, with four Independent School matches crammed into eight game days. It soon became apparent that this team ' s problem was going to be lack of depth. We went into every game missing several starting players, and more importantly, the cohesion and confidence that comes from playing together. However, although the results were not encouraging, the spirit and work-rate were, and as we set off for the season-ending tournament in Vancouver with almost everbody fit to play, I knew we would be competitive. We were. In our first game we held St. Michael ' s to a 1-1 tie after extra time, and indeed, almost scored to win the game in the last minute; and although we lost on penalty shots, the fact that St. Michael ' s went on to beat St. George ' s 4-1 in the final showed me that with any luck at all we could have taken the trophy. As it was, we played Brentwood for 3rd place, and to my delight crushed them 5-0. Sebastian Wade, a fine captain, led the mid-field trip which gave us Standing: (L. lo R.) P. Loeppky, J. Kamon, M.

A SHOOT OUT AWAY FROM VICTORY The U-15 soccer team had an upsetting beginning to their season. The skills of the team were not quite up to par, and the snow covered ground made practice dif- ficult. At the beginning this team did not look very promising - they lost each game they placed. However, due to their hard work and determination they managed to pull through in the end at the tournament. Their first game in the tournament was against St. George ' s, a team who had beaten them 4 to 1. They were losing at the half, but then managed to beat St. George ' s 3 to 2 by the end. In the finals they were up against a team who had beaten them previously 5 to 1 , namely St. Mike ' s. In a fantastic duel the overconfident St. Michael ' s team met a much more aggressive Shawnigan side. The game was evenly matched throughout ending regulation time at a tie. To prove a winner, the game went into an overtime period which again was stalemated. With tensions mounting the finalists went into a shoot out. Unfortunately in the shoot out St. Michael ' s came out the winners. Overall Shawnigan placed second in the Independent School league. Many thanks to our hard working coach, Mr. Glenn Dickens. 43 SOMETHING FOR EVER I ' I 44 f. .f •1 l HM taHHK i ' zwM -=.-2SS« SQUASH This season was a productive and enjoyable ex- perience. The squash club was a well rounded group with players ranging in skill from novice to ad- vanced. In mid-season, an old boy, Pat Halls (Lake ' s ' 78) and John MacDonald gave a clinic for the boys. Both instructors are A players and their coaching was much appreciated by the students. It is an- ticipated that next year Brentwood will be able to field a team and we are looking forward to the competition. The Greenwood Squash Tournament had a high level of participation and culminated with a competitive match between Todds Sigfstead and Sean Ruzicka. Todds won the match and kept the trophy for the second year in a row. Earlier in the season Ruzicka narrowly lost in the semi finals of the B.C. Open (D class) to the eventual winner - better luck in the 85 86 season! S.E. Cox 46 CROSS-COUNTRY ICE HOCKEY SENIOR This season has been the best year for the senior team in a long time. Our record was 5-1-1 and the highlight of the season was our win against Brentwood to capture the Independent ' s School ' s Cham- pionship.

Although we were few in number we had an abundance of desire and this resulted in an UNDEFEATED season. Neither Brentwood nor St. George ' s were able to defeat us as solid goal tending by Tom Tetrault and a strong defense by Bobby Vagg seemed to be unbeatable. The offense was led by Joe Kamon and Darren Gregson but all of the players made a big con- tribution to our team effort. Congratulations on a fine season. Lew Fraser, Coach Standing: (L. to R.J D.

Ice covered the entire lake for a period around Christmas, and the coach boats became ice-breakers in order that crews could get out of our bay and row on the patches of open water. A Rowathon went off on a cold and sunny day in late January, yet all crews put in a full day without complaint. (The Varsity 8 topped the charts with 104 km. for the day.) The ice was still around trying to frost our plans for February 24 ' s Head of the Lake, and the race had to be started from Memory Island because the south end of Shawnigan was still crusted over. Touring crews from Emanuel School in London, England, visited us in early April, providing some early racing practice. We hope to see more of Emanuel in the years ahead (and perhaps test them on their home waters in the not-too-distant future). The regular season was a good one. The senior crews did not bring home many laurels, but they showed steady improvement throughout the term. C. Sigfstead and S. Zens did win several races as the Varsity pair, however, and C. Kramer did well in the sculling events. The Colt A crew were undefeated in the 4 -I- and only dropped one race in the 8 -i- , all this in spite of carrying 20 lb. more coxswain ' s flesh than any other crew on the west coast! The Bantam 4 + also went undefeated. Quite a number of new boys tried their hands at rowing, under the able and en- thusiastic coaching of Mr. Carr, and so we were represented in every sweep-oar event at all of the local regattas. Shawnigan Regatta How does one of the biggest and best-run regattas get even bigger and better? The secret lies with Mr. Grey, Shawnigan ' s regatta chairman for as long as anyone cares to remember. Of course he doesn ' t do all of the work by himself, and thanks are due to the many many students, staff, and friends of rowing who step forward and do the volunteer work necessary to run an event the size of the Shawnigan 50 j! — ■ f,--gwe ,M ' y 7 j y «s ' y; ' Regatta. Two new trophies were added to the already impressive collection of silverware: The Lloyd Hill Memorial Trophy will be presented annually to the winning Colt 8+, and Mr. Jeffrey Butcher has donated a trophy for the best Novice Girls 8+ . CSSRA Championships Shawnigan entered three events in the Canadian Schoolboy Championships in St. Catharines, and they brought home three Canadian titles. In the Junior 70 kg 8+ and 4+ the Shawnigan crews were in a class by themselves, winning their heats and finals easily . (The eight ' s wind- assisted time of 4:25:33 for the 1500 meter course was the fastest of the day!) With 24 entries in the Junior 64 kg 4+ event, and as 1984 ' s champions, the Shawnigan crew was pressed harder to earn their gold. They did it in fine style, though, crossing the finish line with a 3 second lead over second place. All of the boys who competed in St. Catharines had to really work to earn their seats: they not only had to try out for the crew and make a time standard, but also had to put in extra training time, including training camps at Easter and Half- Term. The two most prestigious rowing awards were presented at the Rowing Supper at the end of the season. The Michael Howrigan Memorial Trophy, for the most outstanding oarsman, went to Ian Kennedy. Ian stroked the Varsity 8 + and two of the gold medal crews in St. Catharines. (It is worth noting that he was only in Grade 10 this past season.) For the second year in a row the Bourne Trophy went to Scot Zens, recognizing his exem- plary efforts and contributions toward the Crew. School Colours for Rowing were earned by four members of the Varsity 8 + : Brent Gough, Cam Kramer, Curt Sigf- stead and Scot Zens. These four have led the Crew by their examples, demonstrating enthusiasm and discipline in training, and sports- manship in competition. They have set a tone for the club which will serve us well for the coming year. VARSITY 8 (L. 10 R.): S. Godwin (cox), I. Kennedy, S. Zens, B. Gough, C. Kramer. C. Sigfstead, G. Seit ' riet, E. Poon, A. Ostler In Appreciation Mr. Coghlan is leaving Shawnigan, with four years of coaching to his credit. We will be hard pressed to replace him. Much of the success of our current best oarsmen is due to the enthusiasm and skills which they developed as Novices under Coach Cog , and the gold medal performance of his coxed four at the CSSRA Championships attests to his ability and commitment. Mr. Powell has been with us for two years, during which he has numbered three Canadian titles to his coaching credit. His expertise is much appreciated, and we wish him well as he leaves to take up a position with the Alberta Rowing Association. Both Mr. Coghlan and Mr. Powell were made honorary lifetime members of the S.L.S. Rowing Club, and were presented with sterling silver tie- pins at the end-of-season supper. Thanks are also due to this year ' s Captain of Rowing, Curt Sigfstead. He has dedicated four years to rowing and has been a member of the Varsity Crew since the European Rowing Tour at the end of his Grade 10 year. He has always led by example, and his efforts have done much to establish the sense of pride and camaraderie which exists in the club. P.D. Yates JUNIOR VARSITY 8 (L. to R.): I. Pritchard (cox), P.

Taylor On Wednesday, the 29th of May, the Shawnigan Rowing Club sent 14 rowers and three coaches to St. Catharines, Ontario, for the 40th annual Canadian Schoolboy Rowing Championships. Early the next morning the group arrived at the man-made rowing site and awaited the arrival of the equipment including two brand new Kaschper shells, a four and an eight. Due to inclement weather the following day rowing was forgotten and the crews were taken on a most enjoyable trip to Niagara Falls. On Saturday morning, however, the heats began. The 70 kg 4+ , coached by Mr. Powell, were the first Shawnigan crew to race. Ian Kennedy, Ken O ' Kennedy, Florian Tovstigo and Anthony Ostler did a fine job under the coxing of Stephen Godwin. The crew won by a wide margin. The next to race were the 70 kg 8, made up of the 70 kg 4+, Mike Vopni, Robert Broadbent, Paul Robinson and Mark Maier. This crew won by an incredible eight lengths. Following that race was the 64 kg 4+ event with Shawnigan ' s crew, coached by Mr. Coghlan, consisting Geordie Bryan (Cox), Stewart Halliday, Charles Henderson, Ian Donaldson and Kai Taylor. Once again Shawnigan finished out in front and now all of our crews were favourites for the finals. On Sunday morning the 64 kg 4 + crew raced a semi-final race as there were so many other crews in the event. This time the crew barely won, but did qualify for the finals. In their final race, the 70 kg 4 + crew beat out the other five boats becoming the 1985 Canadian Champions for their event. In the 70 kg 8 -(- final, Shawnigan again finished way out in front with a time of 4:25:33 and thus they also became the 1985 Canadian Cham- pions in their event. Five minutes later, the 64 kg 4 -I- came over the finish line one length ahead, just as the eight was to receive their trophies and medals. Their time was 5:09 and (hey thus became Champions in their class retaining the title for a second year. All of the rowers who participated at the CSSRA Championships owe great thanks to the coaches for their many hours of work that they have put in. They wish the best of luck to Mr. Powell, who has taken a position as Technical Coordinator of the Alberta Rowing Association, and to Mr. Coghlan, who will be sailing around the world next year. Thanks also to Mr. Yates who accompanied the rowers and gave constant support. (L. to R.) O ' Kennedy S. Godwin, I. Kennedy, A. Ostler, F. Tovstigo i. m M. Vopni, R. Broadbent, P. RoHinsgli M. I er W ' ' 54 GOLF This year got off to a shaky beginning mainly due to two things; the golf mem- bership fees were raised to $125.00 and our team captain Darren Gregson unfortunately injured his hand during the spring break. The result: no captain for a little while. But Clive Henshaw (another of our experienced golfers) stepped into Darren ' s shoes and took over team captainship until Darren recovered. The members of the golf activity were: Darren Gregson, Clive Henshaw, Blane Fowler, David Suarez, Paul Ely, Paul Johnston, Sean Jansen, Salvador Molina, Jason Purchase, Mike Nakamura, John Orthlieb, Sean Murphy, Phil Loeppky, and Hamish Wood. At the end of the season our golfing skills were pitted against each other in the inter- house competition. Each house entered a team of four players, however, only three scores counted. The final standings were: 1st- Groves ' 2nd- Lake ' s 3rd- Copeman ' s 4th- Lonsdale ' s 5th- Ripley ' s Every year a tournament is played between the members of the golf activity which is called the Goody Cup. It is played like match play which is played hole by hole. Each of the person ' s scores are compared hole by hole and the person who won the most holes wins the match. This year we had an individual competing for the Goody Cup who was not in fact a member of the golf activity - J. P. Carlow. This year ' s winner of the Goody Cup was Darren Gregson with J. P. Carlow placing a second. H.A. Wood 55 TRACK AND FIELD n % !« S is J i ! 3fti TRACK AND FIELD SENIOR The season was not as successful as last year, nevertheless a number of boys emerged with great credit and improved performances. Andrew Harke the Captain, was our busiest, performing in the jumps and hurdles and reached a good enough standard in the 110m hurdles and triple jump to qualify for the EC ' s as did Paul Le Blanc in the javelin. Undoubtedly the hard luck story belonged to Cam Wright who broke a bone in his foot just when he was developing strongly in the shot put. We were also deprived of his sprinting abilities which was a great pity as we were short of sprinters and could ill afford to lose anyone. Hisato Shinohara, Madan Sheina and Feisal Panjwani handled the sprinting, Damian Gough was the mainstay in the 400 with Sean Grey and John Fisher looking after the middle distances. On occasion both Michael Seguin and Antony Ostler ran very strongly for the School too in these events. In the horizontal jumps Scott Tang backed up Andrew Harke, but we were definitely a little short of man power and lacking in our customary depth. Despite one or two set backs and disappointments, the team responded well and credit goes to Andrew and Cam for their leadership and example. They were both awarded their School Colours at the end of the season. D.W. Hyde-Lay 57 m t r r f ..■ ■ J0 ' A ' ,: m f- l t L 58 f SS 55f- : % A ' lT aS-. ■!.- This year ' s junior track program was highlighted by the per- formances of a handful of fine young athletes. In the forefront was Joe Kamon who had consistently successful outings in the sprints and hurdles throughout the season. Frank Chang was an Island finalist in the hurdles as well and, along with Scott Flemming showed promise in the high jump. Among our youngest members, J.C. Lewis and Kaldean Brown represented the School well in middle distance events. Kaldean was also among the top six on the Island in the hurdles for his age group. In the throwing events, Steven van Halst lead all our juniors with fine performances in the discus and shot put. Jonathan Hokanson was also a hard working member in these events. In conclusion I should mention that a number of boys showed promise in events where they were competing for the first time. Bryce Dixon, David Payne, Ross Mills, and Mark Meheriuk are a few names which come to mind. With effort and dedication to the sport by these and other boys, a solid nucleus from which to build strong future track and field teams could be achieved. S. Noble 59 FIELD HOCKEY • H ■ This year ' s field hockey programme was smaller than ever. With depleted numbers of players we could only manage a few games for our faithful seconds. Despite this lack of depth the 1st XI was very strong. Our new coach Aurthor Von Deth stepped in with new techniques and fast paced practice sessions getting us set for the season. The test came when we played our first game against Spectrum, defending Island Champions. We lost this game narrowly by a 2-1 score, nevertheless a very good start. After this we played Brentwood for the first of three matches, and tied 1-1. We then moved to the Victoria schools and handled them all quite well. f Sfe? i!£ ¥5 ' . ' fi««3 5i® ' SjM S -S ' -?

Esmail The Independent Schools ' Championship was held at Brentwood and unfortunately we were defeated by both Brentwood and St. George ' s. After this our season changed and we lost only one game of six and that to the Saint ' s team. With this finishing win loss record we were able to become Island Champions; a feat never before accomplished by Shawnigan. Our success was due to the goal scoring of Roger Schmitt and Glenn Templeton. Mashi Akiyama was an exceptional play maker while our halves Mike Kobus, later Garth Friesen, and Roland Brakop worked hard to carry the team through many games. Seb Wade was awesome with his control of the ball. Rhys Martin, lyaaz Esmail and Tim McGovern were a solid defensive line. Bud Patel was sweeper and Marcus Hunter in goal with Mike Kobus shifting to goal later in the season. A good season fittingly topped off by Roland Brakop, Mike Kobus, Ti m McGovern and Bud Patel being awarded School Colours. The ' 85 field hockey season was a definite success with Aurthor Von Deth taking the credit for us becoming Island Champions. Bud Patel u .SENIOR TENNIS Our tennis season this year could be said to have been very successful and very promising. A vast improvement in all the players remaining from the previous season was more than evident and many of the ' rookies ' from the junior tennis program added even more strength. Our Brentwood rivals were the main concern and throughout the season we defeated them on 2 of 3 occasions. In the Independent Schools tennis tournament which was held on a gorgeous day here at Shawnigan, we defeated both Brentwood and St. Michael ' s but were just beaten by a strong St. George ' s group who eventually won the tournament. Our final match was against a threatening group from Cowichan High School. We wanted to end the year on a high note and we did, easily defeating them 6 sets to 2. In School play, Copeman ' s, led by John Jung, won the interhouse competition and the Grogan Cup was won by Jung in a close match over Wooldridge - for the second year in a row. Standing: (L. to R.)

As usual much of our competition has been against Brentwood with the U.16 ' A ' team, captained by Byron Horner, recording one loss and one win as well as having close results against the Seniors and Staff in intramural games. The U.16 ' B ' , lead by Mike Kaye, finished unbeaten with two wins against Brentwood and one success against George Bonner. The highlight of the season was our entry in the four team In- dependent Schools ' Tournament. The team finished a heartbreaking second just behind S.M.U. but well ahead of hosts Brentwood and St. George ' s. Special mention must be made by Byron Horner ' s per- formance, winning all six of his singles matches against the best the Independent Schools have to offer to become U.16 Individual Singles champion. Other team members who deserve congratulations were J. P. Carlow, Mark Graham, Clark Macdonald, Mike Pomeroy and Bobby Vagg. The Junior House tournament provided excellent entertainment and a high standard of tennis. Despite spirited opposition the Big Blue Machine of Copeman ' s rolled to an expected victory. D.

The new idea worked out really well, the second term consisted of theory while the lake was frozen and some sailing as well. The third term was strictly sailing and it gave the younger sailors a chance to develop their skills much more. This year we managed to buy two new lasers which has enabled us to let more people into the programme. We hope that we will be getting another Laser II next year which will let us set up a Laser II programme. The racing team this year was relatively inexperienced, but we hope to develop the racing programme next year which should put us in better shape for the racing season. There were however, some people who have shown great improvement among them Malcolm Hammond and Stephane Tardif. In the regattas we held our own against some stiff competition, coming second in the Independent Schools defeating Glenlyon in the Fall, but much to our chagrin losing the Roger ' s Cup narrowly to Brentwood. The year has been a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to an even better one next year.

The race, organized and directed by Mr. McCracken, was a great success with 129 cyclists from 15 Vancouver Island schools participating. The 8th Tour du Lac got off to a good start at 1:30 p.m. without any major complications or disasters. A new course record was set by Segato of Belmont School with a time of 32 minutes and 56 seconds which beat his own record, set last year, by approximately 1 minute. Andre Weaver of Shawnigan led his team to an overall fourth place behind Shoreline, Belmont and Brentwood. Although Shawnigan did not win the overall competition we did have some very times.

Students could opt for a rotating program which included Aerobics, Weights, Soccer, Badminton and Volleyball. The concept of athletics without the spur of beating Brentwood was a little hard to grasp for some students and there were occasions when the group had to suffer the label of Rugby Rejects . It is hoped that this rather shallow view will disappear as the program develops its own identity as a genuine alternative that can co- exist with our excellent Rugby offerings. The development of individual and lifetime sporting skills is becoming more and more important in our sedentary world and it is hoped that Multiple Sports can help in some small way towards this as well as providing a viable alternative for those not motivated towards a competitive contact sport.

Manning, now under private ownership, accommodated the School ' s winter campus in style, with the seniors occupying the cabins and chalets; cooking their own meals, and the juniors living in the hotel; being fed by the school kitchen staff. The week was eventful and happy, and the excellent weather, which lasted until just before we left, added to the atmosphere. Salvador Molina and Grant Fraser gave spellbinding talks to a packed house and trophies donated by the new owners of Manning were awarded on the final night. This entertainment was augmented by lectures by Dr. Porter, and several movies. It was refreshing to return to Manning once again, and we look forward to Manning ' 86. .■rf-J  i. ' - 3B ' .

The competition, sponsored by the University of Waterloo, is held nationwide at three levels; Grade 9 (Pascal), Grade 10 (Cayley) and Grade 11 (Fermat). In total, almost 47,500 students representing over 1,600 schools wrote the competition and, as a rule, only the top 5% of eligible students participate. Students can thus compare their mark with the overall average and gain and idea of their placing in the Canadian school population. In the Pascal Contest for Grade 9 students the Canadian average was 70.8 out of a possible 150. Outstanding results were achieved by John Yeh (137.75) who was first in the zone, 24th in British Columbia (Honour Roll) and lOIst in Canada. Andrew Baycetich (126.50), Paul Yeh (121.50) and Duncan Strong (121.00) were fourth, sixth and seventh in the zone respectively. All were awarded a Certificate of Distinction for placing in the top 10% of all candidates - in fact they were in the top 4% of all grade 9 students who wrote the contest! John Krotez (105.00) also earned a Certificate of Distinction while Kaldean Brown (101 .50) and Jason Thompson (92.75) earned Certificates of Merit with Kaldean the top Grade 8 student in the zone. The School team, consisting of the three top scores, was comfortably first in the zone, eleventh in British Columbia (Honour Roll) and in the top 5% of all schools represented. In the Cayl ey Contest (Canadian average 62.4), Steven van Halst (93.50), Garth Friesen (88.50) and Antony Ostler (88.25) all earned Certificates of Distinction while Hoover Kan (85.25) and Joe Kamon (84.50) earned Certificates of Merit. Steven placed 6th in the zone while Garth and Antony were in the top 10% of all participating Grade 10 students and the team placed 4th in the zone. Outstanding results were gained in the Fermat Contest (overall average 64.9) with Curtis Repen (124.25) placing first in the zone, 3rd in British Columbia (Honour Roll) and 20th in Canada (Honour Roll)! Greg Phillips (103.25) was 3rd in the zone and placed on the British Columbia Honour Roll while Marcus Hunter (96.00) was 5th in the zone - all three were in the top 5% of all Grade 11 students. In addition, John Jung (91.50) and Stewart Bullard (89.75) were placed 1 1th and 15th respectively in the zone and were awarded Certificates of Distinction. The team was easily first in the zone, 5th in British Columbia (Honour Roll) and 29th in Canada (Honour Roll - top 3% of all schools entered). Seldom does the School have an opportunity to evaluate our teaching by comparing ourselves with schools throughout the province and the nation. The results are a credit to Mr. Stephen Cox, Head of the Mathematics Department, and Mr. Lewis Fraser who are to be congratulated on this fine academic achievement of their students. kth term = n(n - l)(n - 2) ...

During the course of this activity we competed in several debating and public-speaking competitions. The fall term mainly consisted of learning the skills involved in debating as well as public speaking. We had a pre-season debate at Brentwood. Although we were not completely prepared, we did learn a lot from the experience. Then, in the winter term we participated in a series of com- petitions. At the Island Cham- pionships at UVic we entered 3 teams: R. Boehm, G. Phillips, C. Pflanz, R. Purcell and C. Cottrell and R. Greger. Later in the Winter Term B. Horner and R. Swinton entered the Cowichan Festival sponsored by the Rotary Club, in which Byron emerged victorious. Thereafter, the joint debate with Q.M.S. on the dilemma of co-education in which C. Pflanz and J. Evans battled J. Beddoe and C. Ceral resulted in the audience supporting co-education. After an in-school contest, A. Blundell and R. Greger went to Duncan for the Hector Macintosh Public Speaking contest. They both did well in representing the School and Roger would, in fact, have won had he not gone over the time limit. This has been a good year of debating and next year we hope to send a team to Waterloo, Ontario for the Canadian Independent Schools ' Championships. A special thanks to Mr. McCracken for all his hard work and time devoted to this activity. Chuck Pflanz 73 In the last few years Shawnigan has become a very considerable competitor in the annual CBC Reach For The Top series. Last year the team actually won all their games, but as the deciding factor to determine the provincial champions was the number of points scored, rather than the actual number of games won, the title went to the team from St. George ' s. It was up to the team this year to uphold this fine reputation, and to prove that Shawnigan was still a power to be reckoned with. This year ' s team was composed of four completely new members, namely Art Blundell, Curtis Repen, Roland Boehm and Devereau Wood, who replaced Curt Sigfstead when sickness prevented his coming along. The other spare, Ian McPherson, was also unable to come. After numerous hours of practice, the team, with their coach, Mr. McCracken, set off for Vancouver for the taping. As was to be expected, the boys were very nervous, but composed enough not to seem that way. Only Mr. McCracken was relaxed, having gone through the same ordeal on a number of occasions. The team to beat was our old adversary, Howe Sound. At first, with the cameras, lights and publicity the teams seemed equal, but as the game wore on Shawnigan proved to be the better team, winning the game eventually by 305 points, 415 to 110. Elated and somewhat more confident the boys went back to their hotel to prepare for the next days competition, which was the team from Mt. Baker Secondary. This time the cameras had less of an impact on the team, and they played a remarkable, but much harder game, winning by 150 points. Through this victory, Shawnigan has secured herself a place in the Zone Championship game against the team from Kamloops. Kamloops proved to be a very good team, beating the team from Sardis before by only 5 points, the smallest margin possible. With considerable anticipation the boys went into what would be a very interesting and tense game. Unfortunately, Kamloops proved to be victorious, as Kamloops was a simply excellent team, but Shawnigan made them work for what proved to be a hard earned victory. Thus Shawnigan could return home content with a second place finish in their zone. For all practical purposes, Shawnigan held her own in the competition, and both the boys and Mr. McCracken can look back with pride and satisfaction at the results they achieved at this years Reach For The Top series, and we wish next year ' s team the best of luck.

It was the club ' s desire to become in- volved in outside the School competitions and we did. We were able to bring back the brass from the Brentwood Bay Rifle Club meet in West Saanich. Our sights being set for next year, we hope to enter even more competitions. As well, it is hoped that we will have new rifles and maybe even a new building to practice this exacting art. My congratulations to the Rifle Club of 84-85 and to our advisor, Mr. Anderson on a fine year. Stephen Montague Captain 76 THE GRADE EIGHT EXPEDITION This year ' s Grade Eights came to school early to go on an ex- pedition to Gabriola Island for three days. When we got there, Sebastian Wade and Ron Nelson showed us how to set up a tent. After that, we all found spots to set up. Every morning we went for a run before breakfast. The activities for the three days in- cluded kayaking, canoeing, rapelling, astronomy, survival skills, orienteering and shoreline studies. We also had a treasure hunt on the last day using orienteering. Barnaby Wade and Mark McLennan also helped, and we were guided by Mr. Yates, Mr. Fairbank, Mr. Noble and Mr. Rolston. Terry Ruttan 77 OUTDOORS CLUB Without an official time-slot during the week, the Outdoors Club has operated mostly on Week-ends this year. With an enthusiastic core of about 15, over 50 boys have been involved in the three terms. We are fortunate at Shawnigan in having all around us an ideal site for outdoor education. The Cowichan, Koksilah and 78 I i Nitinat Rivers provide scenic hiking country as well as challenging canoeing and kayaking, while the Gulf Islands provide a setting for ocean paddling or cycling trips. For climbers there is Strathcona Park, where, at Marble Meadows, the School ' s Billy Wheaton cabin is located. The following trips have highlighted the year: September: The Grade 8 E xpedition to Gabriola Island; Cowichan River trail, overnight hike; Canoe kayak run of the lower Cowichan River (1). November: Surf Kayaking at Long Beach. January: Cross-country skiing around the campus and on the West Arm. February: Winter camping at Manning Park; Cross-country skiing to Silver Lake. April: Camping under the old CPR trestle on the Koksilah River. May: 3-day canoe trip in the Gulf Islands; Canoe kayak run down the lower Cowichan River (2); Half-term trip to Long Beach. June: More river kayaking; Overnight hike to Empress Mountain near Sooke. In preparation for the Gulf Islands canoeing trip everyone helped get the School ' s seven canoes into running order again by replacing broken parts, and repainting and varnishing all the woodwork. Thanks to all those people, to Ron (Joe Wilderness) Nelson, for his leadership this year, and to Mr. Yates, Mr. Rolston and Mr. Noble for their interest and sup- port. N.R. Fairbank 79 1 t NUCLEAR AWARENESS SYMPOSIUM The Nuclear Weapons debate is a complex issue made even more complex by the barrage of claims and counter claims made by the two Superpowers. It is impossible to read a newspaper or view television without a new set of statistics thrust in one ' s face. The ability to form an opinion is further complicated by the propaganda and the frightening consequences of a nuclear war. A Nuclear Awareness Symposium was held at the School from March 8-13, 1985, in an attempt to present all students with the facts and viewpoints of several speakers. The aim was to provide a balanced programme with both the pro and anti camps having the opportunity to present their case. After each presentation and film there was a lively question period.

It is one of the few activities in which one ' s own personal contributions and involvement are recognized by the entire school as a mark of achievement. The Stag attempts to reflect the life at Shawnigan Lake School, both as a community and as an academic in- stitution. This is perhaps what sets The Stag apart from being just another year book. It reflects our unique way of life through the eyes of those who create it, on a personal level as well as professional one. Our job is to preserve the memories of the past and to ensure that they never be forgotten. This in itself is a very difficult task but one which the Stag Committee has carried out with the utmost pride and diligence throughout the entire year. 1 wish to thank all of those involved in the creation of the Stag for a job well done, a job that will always be ap- preciated by us all for years to come. Bradley Greene The Stag Committee is grateful to the following who have contributed time, effort and photographs to this edition. MR. D. ROLSTON MRS. L. ROLSTON MR. J. GOTTHARDT MR. N. FAIRBANK MR.

The enthusiasm was there - but the time was not. Next year the newspaper will be a scheduled fine arts activity and we hope for lots of lively issues. Nevertheless this year the group was able to produce four good issues, culminating in good coverage of the Nuclear Awareness Symposium at the School. P.J. Jarvis t  t ' Itifll- This year it was decided to produce the pop musical Smike ' This musical is loosely based on Charles Dickens ' Nicho- las Nickleby , and contains many excellent songs ranging from the quiet melodies of ' In The Warm Light Of a Brand New Day ' to the rollicking sounds of ' Dotheboys Rock ' . The school was assisted in the performance by a number of very talented girls from outside the school, and these girls auditioned for their parts in the first term just as the play got rolling. The girls who took part in the play were stage veterans, and performed superbly, as well as offering expert advice to the less experienced in the cast. Throughout the first term, and until about a week before the play, all the rehearsals were without props, scenery, or complete music, and it is to the credit of Mr. Grey and Mr. Fairnbank, as well as the ca st that the enthusiasm for doing things properly was kept up to the degree that it was. With the performance dates approaching, excitement built, and as the concentration appeared, so did Mr. Grey ' s ' PIZZAZZ ' . It seemed that after more than three months of intensive rehearsals the actual performances went by very quickly, but it was an occasion that I ' m sure no one who was involved will ever forget. Without exceptional leads, Smike would never have gone so well, and congratulations are due to Robert Meekison, who did an extra- ordinarily fine job in his acting debut, and Tony Kaul, whose fine voice and keen spirit made this musical all the more memorable to those who were involved with it. Roland Brakop richly deserved the complements bestowed upon him by members of the audience, and had they known how his good cheer and sense of humour kept up the rest of the cast, they would have thought him even more remarkable. This year, the lighting was better than in past years, and this was because of the time and effort put in by Mr. Jack Trueman of the Victoria Theatre Company, and for this we thank him. A large number of people were involved with the technical aspects of this production, but this is not the place to list them. There is, however, one person who cannot be left out. Mr. Grey is perhaps the busiest man on campus, what with organizing dances, regattas, videos, running a house, coaching rowing, and being in charge of numerous other activities, besides organizing a summer college in France. For him to have the time and energy left over from all this to put in the hundred ' s of hours needed to successfully direct and produce a musical like Smike says more of his energy ani devotion to the school and the bo in it than I ever could. No-one was more responsible for the success of this musical than Mr. Grey. M Solo He moves off with quiet resignation To shed a tear alone No one even knows him But by all he has been judged Alone in a world of giants On a stage for all to see His heart is tightly shackled Never to be free For it ' s lost somewhere in the pain Of a thousand unshared sorrows And he says his lines playing multiple parts No one ever realizing he can be hurt But in being cast he breaks the mold For regardless of his outward appearance He knows he will never be like them And he will walk his valleys alone Anonymous - B. WADE A Shakespearian Sonnet by Devereau Wood The Fifth Horseman To you I write, you blood-stained cur of strife, Upon it all you cap the loss of Lord. The only reason for your blood stained sword Is writ upon the last tombstone of life. H. SHINOHARA Blind to emotion, must knowledge prevail? Sinking Pandora deeper - no avail! Death, Plague, Famine, War, together cannot Compare the pain and anguish caused by thee Thou demon of the world to come. Leave Me! Leave my world of sight for thou must be fought. Man strove to find a way to thee, oh book Thy lines upon the page are only lies; Man reads these lines and thinks it satisfies. Oh foolish man! Thou cannot hear my look. V. : ' i ' - V. H KE Then, suddenly, the island green Peeks through the blanket of cloud. Now I feel my racing heart! Isle of Beauty! - like none I ' ve seen. Come from beneath your hooded shroud! Come forth for all the world to see! i ' i H S. MOLINA Reflections on a Homeland The dull pulse of mighty engines. People chatting over cups of tea, 1 gaze across a snowy scape; Far from my eyes runs the horizon line, Yet nowhere can I see her sea. Only puffs of cloud beneath the plane. As the craft, with shining wings, Falls through the pillowy vale. My time to mourn is over. Once again I see The dazzling memories of many things; Of woods and towns and shady dales. Majestic buildings and the lush rolling pasture. A castle, grey and sombre, now in ruins. The dark facade of a Norman keep. Oh! the scattered monuments of history From ages past and ancestral kin; Proof of the country ' s mighty power That helped to build our glorious nation! How many great battles have you witnessed? How many armies marched across your soils? Scores of kings and innumerable men Died in the fight to make thee blessed. But here we stand, our nation failed; Where is the pride of yesteryear? The plane lands safely on the ground I hear my voice above the crowd: Why? Why have we forsaken thee? Heads turn towards the source of sound. Did I mean to scream so loud. Or was I dreaming of another time? Trash scattered through an airport lounge Makes me wonder what we ' ve done To the country I thought was home. Oh! Victim of our c areless world! An island standing firm; alone Amidst the onslaught of a modern age! My heart yearns for the land I knew. Never again shall I behold her tranquil shores; Never the gentle folk who inhabited her quaint villages! Gone too are the verdant downs that stretched about me. And, as with a man waken suddenly from slumber. The dream once seen, is now a blur. r Quiet Rebel At the end of war ' s long trail, Hunger, pain and tears prevail. Those who thought they ' s never die, Americans, milk and apple pie. Rain so toxic it can kill, The land is dead, we ' ve lost our will. Survivors are rebels, Rebels of fate. Outside a war So full of hate. Just living, laughing, having fun, Bucks the norm, the never-done. But they laugh, do not conform. Refusing to die, they ' re pierc ed with thorns. Missiles flying overhead, Cower, cry, scream with dread. They ' d like to see the blood I ' ve bled, But never will, until I ' m dead. Hope inside me never fades, 1 won ' t back off. I ' m tired of listening to the old adage, I ' ll catch the bombs, I ' ll laugh and scoff. Duncan Strong Grade 9 , 1L Try to walk With your head held high Try to touch The cloudless sky Never give up Just to sit down and cry Keep on smiling And they will never ask why And keep your dreams Until the day you die.

YATES There has been the usual amount of activity in the workshop this year. Some of the most memorable items that have been made include the following: very fine chiming clocks made by both Paul MazzuUi and Andrew Deane. Each of the clocks, made from Honduras Mahogany, contain the German Urgos movements and make very fine gifts. Kai Taylor made a magnificent white pine table, the result of almost two term ' s work. Frank Chang has continued with his woodburning but in a different style. He is making miniature goblets, each one approximately one and half inches tall! The most popular item is the wall clock with the electronic movement, about 50 have been produced so far this year. They are very simple to make, consequently, boys in every age group have made them. A couple of water beds are nearing completion by Greg Stone and Fred von Schellwitz, well made, and certainly useful items around the house. Todd McKay is building a hydroplane, and Florian Tovstigo has almost completed an air boat that will be propelled by a motor mounted on the rear, pushed by a propeller to enable it to travel through swamps and shallow water. Several computer desks have been built, a popular item in this electronic age. We have been able to purchase a new spindle shaper, a Rockwell. This machine will enable us to make fancy moldings and cabinet doors with the professional look! With the addition of a few smaller electric hand tools the workshop is able to handle most small projects that the boys wish to build. R. Carr This year we embarked on a different project for the Grade 1 1 and 12 class, an aircraft construction programme! The aircraft is a tandem arrangement two seater, powered by an engine which is comprised of a Volkswagen block with aircraft quality components, designed and built by Hapi Engines in California. The total empty weight will be ap- proximately 570 pounds and the anticipated cruise speed with an 1800 cc engine will be around 145 mph. The fuselage is made from 4130 steel tubing and covered with dacron. The wings have aluminum spars and aluminum sheet skins. The wings are of the folding type for easy storage and transportation. The gear arrangement is the standard configuration with the tail wheel. Todd McKay has been responsible for the wing box struc- ture, a complicated but vital piece of work. Andrew Harke has been busily working on the fuselage, ably assisted by Oliver Balmc, Paul Johnston, and Cam Wright. Paul Mazzulli has completed most of the horizontal tail with Oliver working on the vertical fin. Derek Thomas has been busy making the wing spars, assisted by Brian Cunningham and Mashi Akiyama. They have all worked on several other areas of the aircraft and have a lot more work to do, however, their work is first class and it should pass the government inspection with flying colours! The original plan was to complete the aircraft in this school year, but that was too ambitious! There is little doubt that the completion will take place next year and hopefully all of the participants will have the opportunity to fly in the machine. Ray Carr 100 MUSIC A large proportion of students become involved with music throughout the year - in chapel, in the band, or with the musical - although unfortunately, only a dedicated few will continue with serious music study when they leave school. Training in music is training for ife, because as our leisure time increases, as we are told it will when technological development shortens the work week to 30 hours or less, we will want to be able to spend that leisure time in productive and rewarding ways, such as music can offer. The study of music, and particularly the mastering of a musical instrument, requires personal discipline, something which does not come easily to all teenagers. About twenty boys have been having private instruction in various instruments this year; those who have worked particularly hard are Paul Yeh who won the senior instrumental class at the Cowichan Festival this spring, and Graham Webber who placed 2nd in the senior piano class. These two, along with Frank Chang on cello, have been working together as a trio since October, and they won the ensemble class at the Festival as well. The chapel choir has attracted about 35 boys who have stayed with it throughout the year, despite the inevitable conflicts with rugby, rowing, QMS dances, and prep. One of the highlights of the year was a day-long choral workshop with the QMS choir, during which the choristers prepared for a Choral Evensong service that afternoon. Anthems were prepared for Remem- brance Day and Christmas, and the choir sang a folk mass in the summer term, as well as presenting a short number at music night. N.R.

INTER-H OUSE CHALLENGE SHIELD Ripley ' s 87 ' 2 points 139 140 HEAD BOY ' S SPEECH TO THE GRAD CLASS Well, we have arrived at the end of yet another year. I ' m sure the summer will be gladly welcomed by both staff and students for we all deserve the holiday. Today the graduates will pass through the gates for the last time as Shawiiigan students taking with them not only their graduation certificates but their memories of the experiences they ' ve had at Shawnigan and life-long friendships which have been solidified by not only the good times but by the tough times. Why is Shawnigan so special? The reason why Shawnigan is a special place is that it allows for an eclectic education drawing strength from diversity. To some who believe in total specialization strength in variety would seem to be somewhat of a paradox but because Shawnigan believes in the development of an all round individual this variety only helps to strengthen the School. Oh sure, some conflicts do arise. However, these are minor. Because of this diversity Shawnigan does not produce a stereotyped student but develops the talents of the individual students to their fullest extent. Talents in all areas: sports, academics, art, photography, public speaking, and so on. Of course, some are more talented in sports than in the fine arts, and vice versa, but by the School allowing the student the op- portunity to take a fine art or a sport, they allow the student to try something that he would never have tried if he had been forced to specialize and who knows? he may discover a hidden talent. It is not the fault of the system if a student doesn ' t become involved. However, thinking about it, it is nearly impossible not to get involved. Well, my time is up. it ' s been 5 long years of interhouse cross- country and examinations to finally achieve this point. My time Shawnigan has been exceptionally positive and I am extremel excited about graduating. However, I regret leaving the institution which has had the greatest impact on my life. I guess it could be summed up as You can take the boy away from Shawnigan but you can ' t take the Shawnigan away from the boy. In closing 1 would like to thank the students for making this School what it is and the staff for encouraging us to develop our talents to the limit. I would like to leave you with the words of Rudyard Kipling: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone And so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says: Hold on If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with kings - nor lo.se the common touch If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you If all men count with you. but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Your ' s is the earth and everything that ' s in it And which is more, you ' ll be a man, my son. Curtis E. Sigfstead Head Boy 141 Saturday, 22 June, 1985. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Governors, Ladies and Gentlemen: Good afternoon and welcome to our annual prize-giving and graduation ceremonies. I extend a particular welcome to the many parents and friends of the Shawnigan family who have joined us today - some of whom have travelled con- siderable distances to honour our graduates and award winners. Today ' s ceremonies are designed to highlight a significant milestone in the young lives of our graduating class. It is a day of joy and pride for parents, a day of reflection and satisfaction for staff, and a day of hope and excitement for the young men in front of me. It is my intention that it will also be a day that you will remember fondly and with a certain degree of nostalgia in the years to come. Later in the programme you will be hearing from the Directors of Academics, Activities, and Athletics. I imagine that you will be struck by the fact that their reports have a common theme of industry and accomplishment and it is obvious, even to the most casual observer, that the op- portunities provided by a Shawnigan education are truly remarkable. Perhaps it is the breadth of opportunity and our declared aim to expose our students to a diverse set of challenging experiences that sets us apart from other schools. The term well-rounded education is claimed by many, but Shawnigan embodies that approach to education in both spirit and action. Perhaps the best example of the value of such an approach can be seen in the accomplishments of the class of 1985. The boys have risen to the challenges we have placed before them and have emerged as true leaders of our community. At a time in North American education - let alone in British Columbia - where doom and gloom are the pervading topics of discussion, it is refreshing to report that the students at Shawnigan have been lead by a Grade 12 class which has been positive, supportive and committed. Many staff have commented to me on how much they have been THE HEADMASTER ' S SPEECH impressed with and responded to the diligent attitude and the maturity of thought and action of this year ' s graduates. In particular. Curt Sigf- stead, the Head of School, and his Prefects have demonstrated a reasoned and considered ap- proach to their responsibilities. Early in the year they set as a goal the fostering of a spirit of unity and fellowship throughout the School. I have been genuinely affected by their conviction and belief in their goal. The role of student leader is an ex- ceptionally difficult one and despite their setbacks - both real and imagined - I have admired their determination and concern for the School and its standards. As a result of their efforts, I know that the members of the junior grades in particular feel that they are now a significant part of our com- munity. That, in itself, is a considerable legacy. Next year ' s Prefects have large shoes to fill. As a matter of fact, the class of 1986 and any sub- sequent year would be wise to remember the example set by the graduates this year. I can say, without equivocation, that all of us are proud of your achievements, your humanity, and your esprit de corps. The graduating class would probably be the first to join me when I salute and thank the men and women of our staff who have worked with and for our students. A School with the diversity and complexity of Shawnigan could not function - let alone aspire to excellence - without the uncommon dedication and talent of its staff. And by staff it must be understood that I include the nursing staff, the office staff, as well as Mr. Magee and his staff. They readily take on a thousand tasks - invariably with a positive spirit. Their con- tributions are integral to our present success and our hopes for the future. And if I was to identify a common quality that all of them share, it would be a commitment to youth. Shawnigan is indeed fortunate to have a team who sets such an example of service and professionalism. Consequently, it is with regret that we bid farewell to three members of that team at the conclusion of the year. During his 4 years at Shawnigan, Nick Coghlan has made a significant impact on the School - in the classroom as a teacher of French and Spanish, on the water as a highly successful rowing coach and, certainly, in Lonsdale ' s House as Housemaster. His high standards, his conscientious approach and his humanity have been excellent examples for all of us. To Nick and Jenny go our heartfelt thanks, as well as our best wishes for a safe and happy future. The word safe is apropos - the Coghlans depart in September on the first leg of their cir- 142 cumnavigation of the globe. In a few weeks Don Ferguson, who has served his School for 25 years, will be stepping down as Bursar. During good times and bad, Don has been a tower of strength to the School and has con- tributed invaluable service. A Bursar ' s job is never an easy one, but Don has performed his tasks faithfully and with conviction. Our best wishes go to Don and Elaine, but before he retires I have prevailed upon him to perform one more task - I , have asked him to join me in the presentation of r ' prizes and diplomas to the graduating class. There ' ;j is a sweet irony in the situation where the man who i has accepted your money for five long years can I now present to your son the tangible evidence of his graduation. And finally my thanks to Alice Ives, my secretary, who is leaving at the end of June. I will sorely miss her talents, her efficient mind and her sense of humour. A secretary of her calibre is difficult to find and I am not sure if I will ever forgive her husband. Bob, for getting a job promotion that takes them to Vancouver. No acknowledgement of gratitude would be complete without a special note of thanks to the parents. As is usually the case, any academic year is filled with exhilaration and disappointment; triumph and tragedy. This year has been no ex- ception and I am sure it will be remembered as a time when our character was severely tested. The true nature of an individual or an institution often te,emerges at times of crisis. It takes courage, determination, and faith to overcome life ' s set- backs and I will be eter nally grateful to the many parents who took the time to call or write following the tragic death of Lloyd Hill. Your support was a source of comfort and hope for all of us during those dark days of January. I know that I speak for all who live and work here when I say thank you for your help at our time of need. It is just such a demonstration of generous spirit which prompts me to conclude my remarks with a thought or two for the graduates. But what I have to suggest applies in no small measure to those of you who return next year. My message is a simple one. With the exception of a handful of hermits, the vast majority pf people discover that fulfillment and success depend upon relationships with others: from family to profession, in work and recreation, from a simple individual tran- saction to the largest business accomplishment, you will find that the quality of your personal relationships is a cornerstone of life. Because relationships by definition involve other people, their quality is as much dependent upon a sen- sitivity to the needs and concerns of others as it is on personal integrity. Sensitivity to others must then lead to service to others, lest, turned only to personal advantage, it becomes a hollow virtue. I am sure that you are aware that service to other people has been a recurring theme in what we have taught at Shawnigan. It is encumbent upon you to realize that the advantages you have had at Shawnigan must now be repaid to the world outside our gates. Your own fulfillment and capacity to serve your fellow man will be enhanced if you hold close to your heart the values of decency and understanding that we have instilled. ' As a final piece of advice, I suggest that one of the things that I would encourage you to do would be to take the time for quiet reflection. Most of our thoughts focus on our problems, our disap- pointments, or our pressures. For self- preservation each of us should intentionally and frequently take time to remember the important relationships that we have experienced in our lives. We should think about the amount of en- couragement, inspiration or satisfaction that was received as a result of each such interaction. As a source of personal energy and hope, there is nothing quite as effective as caring and affection for others. Relationships with people; personal integrity; service to others; caring and compassion - these will be the true measures of your future success. To all of you - boys, staff and parents - 1 extend my thanks to each of you for the part you have played in this year ' s significant progress. I trust that your summer holidays will be relaxing, en- joyable and safe and I look forward to your return in September. D.J. Campbell Headmaster 143 OBITUARIES IN REMEMBRANCE OF LLOYD ALLEN HILL 1969-1985 In this edition of the Stag we pause to remember with deep regret the untimely death of Lloyd. He entered this school as a day boy in his Grade 8 year becoming a boarder in Grade 10. Lloyd was a fine member of our Shawnigan community, a gifted artist, a talented athlete and an able and conscientious student. His warm and friendly personality is sorely missed by his many friends and, indeed, by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. G.L. Anderson Housemaster 3M 144 GARTH JONATHAN ORR Garth Jonathan Orr, of Calgary, and his fiance Wendy Laura Brule, passed away near Olds, Alberta on January 1st, 1985, at the age of 23 years following a car accident. Garth came to Shawnigan in September 1977 and entered Grade 10, graduating 3 years later in June, 1980. From the age of 2 years he suffered from a serious medical condition - a kidney disorder - but he never allowed this disability to be anything of a hindrance and he participated fully in the life of the School including drama, cross country running and rugby. He was a model patient whose cheerfulness in the face of adversity was an outstanding example to all the other boys. He was awarded the Stag Award by the then Headmaster, Darrell Farrant, an award conferred annually on only two or three boys who have made an outstanding contribution to the life of the School. The citation for the award states that it shall be given at the descretion of the Headmaster to a boy by whose contribution it may genuinely be said that ) Shawnigan is a better place. Garth was such a person. Garth loved the outdoors and was an avid fly fisherman and snow skier. He was a keen follower of sports and a loyal friend and supporter of the School. He is survived by his loving parents Darwin and Agnes Orr, a brother Darrell and two sisters Brenda Trump and Janice Elliott. M.

Such a person is Nick Coghlan. Nick, until June 22 Housemaster of Lonsdale ' s, ceases to be a member of staff on that date. He, and his wife Jenny, have dreamed for some years of sailing, hopefully around the world, but certainly as far as New Zealand and Australia. This summer they will set off on their odyssey. Their boat is a 27 ' sloop, Swedish built, and is called Tarka (after Tarka the Otter). As preparation for their trip, they circumnavigated Vancouver Island last summer, and, at Christmas, sailed from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. They intend to set off mid-September and their planned route will be as follows: Victoria - San Francisco - San Diego - Cabo San Lucas - Marquesas Islands (Polynesia) - Tahiti - New Zealand - and later, on to Australia. They hope to be away at least a year, probably more but after reaching Australia their plans are TARKA ■ i i X|B W9 P - 1 DON FERGUSON There will be a bus and you will be on the Bus! This announcement, made many, many times in the dining room regarding transportation at the end of term and at half term, will bring back a memory or two to a large number of S.L.O.B.S. The man behind that voice was, and is, none other than Don Ferguson, the School Bursar. Don is retiring this year and will very shortly no longer be able to say to boys and staff alike, NO you can ' t have any money! This has been the prerogative of school bursars since the year dot, and Don has been better at it than most. He has been at the School for 24 years and has thoroughly earned the right to take life easy and do what he wants. Good luck Don in yo ur retirement. Not enough people realize what a debt the School owes you for managing its financial affairs so well, especially through the lean years of a decade or so ago. • V ' T ' rmr j decidedly flexible. Unfortunately they will not be able to take their cat. We will all miss Nick and Jenny (but not the cat). They have contributed much in their 4 years at Shawnigan, Nick, with teaching French and Spanish, coaching rugby and rowing, helping with the outdoors club particularly in caving as well as fulfilling the busy role of Housemaster, Department Head, tutor and mentor; Jenny for her support, her chauffeuring, her outdoor involvement (she ' s the real caver) and her interest in Lonsdale ' s. So, good sailing, lots of tail winds, gales of laughter and spank a few spinnakers for us all. D.W. Hyde-Lay TIM POWELL Tim Powell an old Ridlean, has been with us on a part-time basis for the past two years and is now leaving to take up a post as Technical Director, Alberta Rowing Association. During his time at Shawnigan he made his greatest contribution in the rowing program where he was responsible for bringing on and developing the lightweight crew which did so well in the Schoolboy Championships in St. Catharines, winning the Gold Medal in the Fours and Eights in both 1984 and ' 85. We know that the Alberta Crews will benefit from Tim ' s expertise and we wish him all the best and thank him for all he has done for rowing at Shawnigan. f ' yW ' ' • ? JEFF POOLE Mr. Jeff Poole immigrated from England to Canada in 1951, and has worked at the School for the past seven years. Jeff has been in charge of field and garbage cleanup. It has been Jeff who so faithfully has kept the playing fields in top shape throughout the years. Jeff leaves the peacefulness of the fields to pursue his hobbies of raising canaries and studying war history. We will all miss Jeff ' s quiet commitment to the School and we wish him the very best in the future. ALICE IVES Not many Old Boys will have had the chance of getting to know Mrs. Alice Ives, the Headmaster ' s Secretary. Alice has been at Shawnigan for just over a year, during which time her efficiency and pleasant, cheerful personality have endeared her to everyone. Unfortunately for us, her husband has been trans- ferred to Vancouver and so they have to uproot themselves, sell their house and move there during the summer. Good Luck to you Alice - we shall miss you. MAJOR SUPPLIERS OF SERVICES AND QUALITY PRODUCTS TO THE SCHOOL Tenderflake Bakery Island Eggs Ltd.
