Sixth Jom DAVID GARGETT Garge became a boarder this year and as a Senior Prefect, he headed the ruling clique of Hamber Hall. Dave found this job contained many trials as he was forced to share his dorm with the lesser likes of McGoo and the Burger (twice, no less). If you rise before 7:00 AM, you will see Mr. Authority trotting down to the gym to practise his snarls before an empty audience. As one of the Red River Scholars Dave is mainly responsible for the alertness of the teaching staff with far-fetched but relevant questions. Legs took an avid interest in sports where he excelled in Soccer, Basketball, Cross-Country, and Track and Field. Our dyke builder from St. Vital likes reading, skiing and boat build¬ ing. Good luck in Bio-Chemistry, Dave! JACK HARASYM Leep, Pickle Crow’s sole representative at S.J.R., came to us last year amid cries of Next stop, P-i-ckle Creek, P-i-ckle Crow and C-e-entr-a-al Patricia! and proceeded to become one of the super-stars of Senior soccer. Last year he was the co-holder of the Most Popular” award given for the most letters received in one year. The duty prefects discovered that it was easy to get Pickle up in the mornings for all they had to do was to yank the yellow tie hanging over the edge of his bed and Jack would be sure to follow it. As the perfect scale-model prefect, Jack man¬ aged to keep the third floor of Thompson House in order. We all wish Jack the best of luck in his great ambition, which is to put Pickle Crow on the map. Good luck next year at Western. MARK JACKMAN Equis, our 17th school captain, instigated, as his first official act of authority, a Be Kind to Animals year. Moak found his first few weeks in office to be boring but, after the out weekend, he enJOEYed his weekends immensely. As B.O.’s right hand man on the third floor of Thompson House, our beloved presi¬ dent’s presence was usually greeted with a flying Coke can. No lip you guys. Having graduated from the ranks of Junior Pre¬ fect, Mark’s main duty was to make the school successfully click. Our four legged friend excelled in scholastic abilities as a Red River Scholar and in athletic activities where his horseshoe shaped cleats sped him past less fortunate competitors. Horse had in¬ tended to star in Murder in the Cathedral last year, but he took a minor role instead when he found that two bushels of oats a week was insufficient salary. Mark’s interests are you name it” and his carefree ambition is to take whatever (or whoever) comes along.” DAVID JAMES Dave, the wise old man of grade 12, has been with us now for many years. As the eldest member of the senior soccer team, Senny has been a stalwart on defence since ’64, (1864 that is). As the humourist of the soccer team, Dave kept the team’s spirit up during their many defeats. Tottering around the soccer field kicking shins, stomping on toes, and booming the ball down the field, he could often be heard cackling, Ah, ha, got you again!” Dave was a leader of Hamber House, playing Senior House Soccer, Senior House Volleyball and putting the shot. Inspired by his Physics classes, Senny found himself partnered with Stein and Killer and his nerves of steel proved to be invaluable in many experiments. Kiddell you’re so st-e-u-pid!” His future, although at present undetermined, will probably be in redesigning antique firearms. DOUG KIDDELL Killer, S.J.R.’s only full-time-weekly-day-boy is still making great headway in Chem. and Math, classes. During his eight years here, Doug has participated in just about every field offered. He has made the Hockey and Football teams every year and has won the Track and Field trophy for his age group twice, being runner-up every time he didn’t win. When not slaving away at home¬ work, Doug would be found discussing world politics with Jamie and B.O. Young House owes Doug many thanks for the untiring work he has performed in the past two years. Red has lots of experience as a car jockey and we wish him the best of luck in this profession. JOHN KILGOUR Leach, an avid Maths pupil, is the co-holder of the shortest working day of the year along with, you guessed it, Pix. John was in charge of the stage properties in Murder in the Cathedral, last year’s theatrical production, and also was a mem¬ ber of the ’65 New York Tour. John’s varied interests range from hunting and skiing to hurry¬ ing home at 3:02 p.m. to lose out with the women. Next year, John hopes to attend the Uni¬ versity of Manitoba and emerge eventually with a degree in Law. We wish him the best of luck at this career.

k (Jice Caftm ROBERT WILLIAMS Bob was the sixth’s most avid chem student this year, when discussion turned to KATH-odes. Actually BO was only inter¬ ested in that certain someone in Tuxedo because he likes walk¬ ing. All this walking got Bob in shape for Senior Football in which he has been a stand-out for two years. Bob, the school’s vice-captain, came to the school in Grade VIII. As well as excel¬ ling in football, BO has been on the Senior Hockey Team for two years though some coaches thought he was a showboat. Bob was Young House captain this year and has always been active in house games. Bob plans to take Commerce next year. Favorite Saying — Hey, its Friday! Ambition — President of Bay Bronze. Probable Destiny — Trash can maker. DAVID EVERETT Numbly has been at S. J. R. thirteen long years and during this time he has been a junior prefect and an actor in Julius Ceasar, Macbeth and the Boy David. Dave fumbled through Ban¬ tam and Senior football, bumbled through Midget and Senior hockey and stumbled to the bus stop every morning. He was very often seen in a new Ford ora little white Volks. A member of, the Masters’ favorite band, The Monday Blues,” Dave played very good instrumentals or his Gretch! A boarder for 5 years, Dave became a day-boy this year and as such, made many worth¬ while contributions to his Literature class. Dave plans to be a lawyer and we wish him the best of luck at the University of Manitoba, when he makes it there. Surtk ' Jom GwbwtiJi CARL FUDGE Carl (Punter) Fudge was an active footballer with one year bantam and two years experience in senior football. He played senior and intermediate basketball and volleyball and was a very loyal supporter of Richardson house. Carl has spent 12 years at the school and has contributed very much, as he was always eager to encourage day-boys to come out to the school for activities. Carl could be found in one of three places: in the school, in his basement night club or in his camouflaged Fal- coon. He participated in the 1965 New York tour. As well as being a cadet, Carl was an avid chess player in the Chess Club. He never realized his main ambition of taking his basement to a River Heights dance and so we wish Carl luck in commerce at the University of Manitoba next year. 11

GmJmJim DARRELL LAIRD Darrell was a volleyball player and a broad jumper until he decided to take to the soccer field this year and show Senny and the senior soccer team how to win?? He didn’t quite succeed, and since this failure Darrell has stayed away from sports. He has since concentrated on fulfilling his ambition to re-educate the general public’s taste in music. After two years in Cadets, Darrell found his real interests lay in cameras and he therefore joined the Camera Club. A day-boy this year, Darrell and his old partner could often be heard leading the bus in a favorite American war song. We wish Darrell the best of luck next year in Arts at the University of Manitoba and we hope he can stay awake in history classes. PETER LEMON Stein nose a lot more than he lets on, like who removed the door handles from the Elephant- lover’s bourgois Chevy II. Nosey became a board¬ er this year, much to the horror of those con¬ cerned (ie. Masters, prefects, and other boarders), but he still remained a honourary member in good standing with the Tuxedo Day-Boy’s back- of-the-bus group. Actually, Pete was oneofS.J.R.’s brightest students as he placed first in his form last year and has won several scholastic prizes for Science and Mathematics. Our King of the Syndi¬ cate was an avid sportsman, lending his talents in full support of Hamber House. When he wasn’t out playing senior soccer, senior basketball, or senior volleyball, Coach could be found leading his B.H. basketball team to count-less victories. The man with the tin-foil fendered V.W. plans to enter an American institution of higher learning and then become an I.B.M. computer which will . likely end up printing money, of course. Good luck, O King, and remember, Don’t put your nose where it doesn’t goes!” PAUL LEATHERDALE Our Eagle editor, much to his dismay, found himself roomed with Nosey this year. One of the third floor’s distinctive charac¬ teristics was gullable Paul’s ringing laughter at 10:45 when his roommate told another funny joke. Far too often Chuckles found unwanted late-night visitors in his dorm as Stein conducted a local bull session with Burger, Leep, and McGaffer. C’mon you guys, I want to get some sleep.” Paul was an avid sportsman this year and his speed at flanker and agility in goal saved many a game for the S. J. R. football and hockey teams. He was also a strong supporter for Young House. Our quiet man seldom voiced unwanted opinions in class this year, but he was quick to support unaccountable comments from the back. We owe the success of this yearbook to Paul and wish him the best of luck at the University of Manitoba next year. JAMIE LITTLE Blues, the athlete of the 3 lads has played two years of senior hockey and one of senior football which was enough to get him an athletics sweater (whipee). When not ledge-hanging, Blues could be found with Yetti sku lking about the front gate of Ball Hall with pliars in his hand. Jamie, our fair to middling genius, who always understood his maths, is doing well in both Grade 11 and Grade 12 and plans to goto U.A.C. next year to study architecture. For occasional profit and enjoyment, Blues cut grass with the rest of the lads! CHRISTOPHER LOUNT Having experienced boarding last year, Chris, this year, be¬ came a day-boy who would rather drive a Honda to school than take the bus. However, walking soon replaced the Honda. Chris was frequently seen playing snooker after classes. As well as playing football, Chris played hockey and skied. A member of the Chess Club, Chris spent his spare time playing the guitar and frequenting U.M.S.U. As an avid supporter of Richardson House, Chris led the football and hockey teams of this house. As well as being helpful on the field and on the rink, Chris had many helpful hints in math class. He believes in the open door policy. We wish Chris good luck in architecture next year. TERRY McGAUGHEY McGoo was our swinger from the African bush country. This year he managed to mow down most of his opposition on the soccer field as he did last year on the football field. Goi-Goi participated in most house sports for the glory of Richardson house and even got involved in many extracurricular activities after lights out. Hyper, the assistant editor last year was our Lay¬ out man for the yearbook this year. Once he even managed to bungle up a few pictures. McGoo was the victim of a rapid change over of doormates. How come, eh, McGaffer? Inconspicu¬ ous as he was, McGoo’s presence could often be felt before the Pygmy was seen. Terry plans to attend Queen’s or Wes tern Uni¬ versity next year and we wish him every future success. 13
