VALETE MRS. ALLISON Mrs. Allison, who has been with us as our librarian for the last three years, leaves us to take up a position in Victoria where she will be closer to her daughter Margaret (77). Her son, John, will be returningtoS.M.U. During Mrs. Allison ' s tenure the library has improved enormously and it has been a pleasure for all of us to have her expertise available to us. She has also been the first librarian to understand why authors such as Len Deighton and John Le Carre simply have to be carried in any good library. Our best wishes go with her and her family. MR. LOUTET Mr. Loutet who has been with us for one year leaves us with reluctance so that he can spend more time with his family. His drive and energy in basketball and track and field, plus his innovative approach to Math, which he taught with a flair that captivated the most jaded student, will be missed greatly. Whittall House too will have lost a valued assistant housemaster. As Mr. Loutet will continue to reside in the Cowichan Valley, however, we expect to see a good deal of him, even if only as the coach of an opposing basketball team! 3

IN MEMORIAM JACK KEMPSTER Jack Kempster died this Spring after a year of illness. Not only was he an artist of considerable personal talent who could carve, draw, paint and engrave, a teacher who could gradually lead the most inartistic student to the point of pride in accomplishment, but also he was a warm, generous man of great wit and charm who was regarded with enormous affection by us all. Every staff member who knew Jack and every student who was taught by him is richer for the experience. We shall miss him very much. ARTHUR CHARLES PRIVETT Members of our school pay respect to the memory of Arthur Charles Privett, teacher and Headmaster of Brentwood College School in its original location in Brentwood Bay. Mr. Privett joined the Brentwood staff in 1929 and served as an English teacher until 1932, at which time bursarial duties were added to his teaching load. In 1939 Mr. Privett assumed the role of Headmaster which he carried until the school was unfortunately razed by fire in 1946. Upon the opening of the new school in Mill Bay in 1961 , Mr. Privett, with his customary strength and encouragement, added greatly to our growth in the early years, continuing to remain a loyal supporter and friend until his death in 1978. We respect his memory sincerely and shall miss his presence in our midst. 4
