HEADMASTER'S INTRODUCTION One of the duties of a Headmaster each year is to write an article for the Yearbook. Such pieces tend to be a recitation of the year's accomplishments and there have certainly been many achievements this past year of which SMU students, teachers and parents may well feel proud. 1981-82 will be remembered as the year of the 70th and 75th anniversary celebrations, the year in which SMU won both the Independent schools' and the Greater Victoria rugby league championships, the year in which basketball became a respected sport, the year in which the school began to take off in music and in artg the year in which SMU won the Junior and Senior high school's debating cham- pionships of Vancouver Island, the year of the Paul Almond movie, in which so many of this year's graduating class played important roles, not least, it John Schaffter was the year in which SMU became overall THE top Headmaster maths school in Canada. 1 Having, then, said all the sorts of things which ought to be said in the introduction to a yearbook, I would like to share with the graduation class one of my favourite word games. It is a game guaranteed to foster clear thinking and to help rid the mind of prejudices. Better still, for anyone who enjoys words, it is fun to play. It consists of making up irregular verbs and l recommend the game for idle moments while waiting in airports or for lectures to start in universities. The game was started, I believe, by Bertrand Russell, the mathematician philosopher, who declined: I am firmg you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool. My other favourite examples, include the following: I am sparkling: you are unusually talkative, he is drunk. I am an epicure, you are a gourmandg he has both feet in the trough. I am casual: you are informalg he is an unshaven slobf' I am righteously outraged, you are annoyed, she is making a fuss about nothing. I have reconsideredg you have changed your mind, he has failed to keep his word. I dreamg you escape: he needs help. To the 1982 Graduates of SMU, the very best of good wishes to you in all your years ahead!

PAUL ACHTEM WT 'ff 1.0 know why! JIM ANGLEI-IART Mij Anglehmart lured the annual committee to his house time after time with his various proto-type cheesecakes. When talking to this physichem wiz-kid, one should not be offended by the periodic instances of his hand lunging at his head tusually at early hours of the dayy, for specialists at the school, such as Dr. S. Thatcher and Dr. P. Byrnes have diagnosed this as a means of jarring his bilingual brain to action. Jim's athletic participation included frisbeeing, laughing, and breathing, and remarkably he has avoided Mr. Yorath's cruel hand since grade 8. Jim's TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE TIME FOR CHEESE CAKE FOR 10 WHILE SKIPPING GAMES and the sequel, TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE TIME FOR CHEESE CAKE FOR 20 WHILE GETTING HIGH MARKS will both be out in hard cover next year. From the editors: GOOD LUCK JIM! tWhat a spazy! ERIC ANGUS DAVID ARMSTRONG Ever since Dave hit a bus he has wanted to attend R.R.M.C., and then follow Stew's example and lead an economical life. He cites his pet peeves as chapel talks, grade eights, Mondays, and grade ll Chemistry. He's got a good start on, living out a life of absolute leisure - Dave is often seen lying prostrate in the grade twelve common room. Paul joined the school, with the girls in Grade 10 and although he played rugby as ardently as Jacquie Dancey, he still managed to swing a trip to the U K fOh! My back hurtslj. He told this worthy grad editor that he was going to M.I.T., but rumor has it that next year, it's UVIC for Paul. When you make it we ll all Our movie star is noted for his love of female billets ton the U K rugby tourl and imperial measures ti.e. pintsj. In rugby he is the only person on the lst XV who can fake a pass to the outside when no one is there and make it work. He is capable of even greater athletic feats consuming entire packages of chocolate bars in one evening. Our head boy clad in his pink button-down shirt, can often be found in the math lab Qgettmg extra workj or keying Bio. notes into his word processor Next year he intends to go to Stanford, Queens, or Pepperdine. Ultimately he hopes to get rich by twenty-five and enjoy the good life. With any luck he ll succeed
