Finnegan Grounds Maintenance STEPHEN PAXTON SPRAGGE August 19, 1963 - February 18, 1982 Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him. Stephen Spragge who was tragically taken from us on February 18th, 1982 will long be remembered by all his contemporaries at Brentwood. Steve was many things to many people: an entertaining student, 5 seat on the Lightweights, goalie for the 1st XI, fullback on the 2nd XV, and a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of all Ellis House activities. Whoever Steve was to you, he always could be trusted and counted on to do his best. None who counted Steve as a friend will forget the good times shared together and the devotion he had for our School and for his friends. I feel that Steve would have preferred, rather than idle tears for his memory, that we remember him for the way he made us smile and laugh, and for the fact that he had the courage never to give up. R. Mountfort Awards Day Address Honoured Guests, Parents, Friends, Faculty, Senior Class and Students: It is an honour and a pleasure to welcome you today to our Awards Day Ceremony. As I do so, however, may I, with great regret, offer to you all the sincere apologies of our Headmaster, Mr. Bill Ross. Mr. Ross ' family ex- perienced a tragic death in a car accident earlier this week, a circumstance which prevents his sharing with us this unique day in our School year. He sends us his warmest wishes for a happy day, together with his special farewells to all members of the graduating class. May I at this point introduce to you our platform guests for the day, The Honourable Brian Smith, Minister of Education for the Province of British Columbia, Mr. and Mrs. J. McLernon, (Mr. McLernon is Chairman of our Board of Governors), and Mrs. Janet Brackenbury, our Librarian. Unfortunately, time does not allow us to include our sports and fine arts awards in this ceremony, so those who have excelled in these areas over the year were recognized in a special awards assembly held last week. Nevertheless, I must take a few moments to review the achievements of our artists and athletes. The British Columbia Ministry of Education sponsored a Christmas card design contest. Out of 600 entries from all over the Province, second place went to our Grade 9 student, Chris Scott-Kerr. He received $200 for himself and the School Art Department also benefitted by $200.00. Brentwood students took 14 out of the 20 possible awards in the under-18 drawing, painting and printmaking categories at the Cowichan Valley Spring Arts Fair. Almost all of our 30 entries received com- mendation ranking or higher. At the same Arts Fair, our potters won both categories in the under-18 divisions — Hilary Denny for handbuilt pottery and Harry Worsley for wheel thrown pottery. The Creative Dance group thrilled the School with the grace and precision of the display they presented before Easter; their workshop for 80 local school children was a great success, and Grade 12 choreography this year has been of a particularly high standard. We also have been well entertained by our musicians. The Band and Choir presented three concerts, one in the Brentwood Auditorium, one in the lobby of the Four Seasons hotel in Vancouver, and one for the benefit of the patients at the Shaugnessy Hospital. The Band and Choir also set Christmas in motion for us with the Carol Service. Ben Butterfield and Erin Thrall received awards in voice competition at the Victoria Music Festival. And then, for the delight of us all, our music and dance departments formed the Brentwood Musical Club and a cast and supporting crew of 7 5 spread a bright light of joy over a time of year that was plagued by bad weather, a ' flu epidemic, and winter doldrums. I would like to take this opportunity to again thank all those involved for bringing us such a great amount of pleasure with their production of The Gondoliers. Under the direction of Mr. Rob Maclean, Brentwood ' s Debating Club argued its way to the top. Our senior debating team, represented by Diane Farlowe, Angela Keller-Herzog, Donald Stanley, and Ken Creighton, was named the best four person team on Vancouver Island. Leslie Szamosi rated as the top junior debater on the Island and Patti Hodgson won the Cowichan Valley Rotary Club Speech Contest and was named the best junior speaker and overall runner-up. As you know, Brentwood seeks to develop the physical as well as the mental and cultural strengths of our students. Although the main purpose of our sports program is to present our students with athletic challenges and to build them to and keep them in top physical condition, I must, nevertheless, bring to your attention some of the glories our athletes have brought back to Brentwood. Our Rowing Club commenced their 1981 82 season on June 20th last year when they set off on a cross-Canada tour. Seventy-six rowers and three coaches logged 32,000 vehicle miles in the biggest, longest trip ever to be undertaken by a club on this continent , Brentwood placed first in 27 races on this tour, the victories including a sweep of all three lightweight eight events in St. Catharines, Ontario, and a heavyweight eight upset against the highly rated United States National Youth Eight in Philadelphia. Our girls beat the Canadian youth crew in Toronto. Not content with these triumphs, in September the crews and coaches were again on the water and in the weight room, training hard. The net result of this dedication was that in addition to winning at local regattas, often against crews from U.B.C., U.Vic, and other universities, the Rowing Club, after winning the B.C. High School Championships, travelled East to compete in the Canadian High School Rowing Cham- pionships held in late May in St. Catharines, Ontario. There our crews established the finest record ever for a Canadian school. They won the Sigma Kappa Psi Trophy (Junior Men ' s Heavy Coxed Four), the J. Wright Trophy (Junior Men ' s Heavy Eight), the Laddie Cassels Men ' s Trophy (Senior Men ' s Lightweight Eight), and the Calder Cleland Men ' s Trophy (Senior Men ' s Heavyweight Eight). Brentwood students do not stop rowing after graduation. Our congratulations and good wishes go to our 1980 graduate, Harold Backer, of Princeton University, and our 1981 graduate, David Ross, of the University of Victoria, as they have recently been selected to row for the Canadian National Men ' s Eight at the International Regatta in Vienna, Austria in July. Another cross-Canada tour started from Brentwood on this day last year. Mr. Pitt and a hardy group of cyclists set off on a ride to Kingston, Ontario, to raise money for handicapped children. They collected a total of $10,424.91 in pledges. This summer our Cycling Club placed second in the annual Tour-du-Lac around Shawnigan Lake. Our sailors had a highly successful year — they won the Independent Schools Regatta, the Rogers Cup in com- petition with Shawnigan Lake School, and qualified for entry into the National Regatta. Marcus Rockliff and Andrew Clark are not with us today because they are participating in the National Single Handed Regatta in Victoria. In tennis our junior boys are Independent Schools Champions. The Tennis program was very popular this year with some 100 students playing hard. Our Cross- country runners won the Independent Schools Cham- pionships and the juvenile division of the Basil Parker Memorial Race. In soccer our senior boys are Indepen- dent Schools Champions and our Girls ' Soccer Team emerged unbeaten against all female opposition. Our Golf Team made it to the Island finals after a delightful season in the sun. Our senior boys track and field team was second in Independent Schools competition. I cannot allow comment on track and field to pass without men- tioning our student who was once described by a covetous rival coach as a track animal — Mark Williamson. Last summer at the Canada Games Mark won gold medals in the 400m. and the 4x400m, and a silver medal in the Canadian Men ' s Open Race. At the Canadian Indepen- dent Schools Meet this summer he won, in a single af- ternoon, the 100m., the 200m., the 400m., anchored the winning4x400 m. relay team, and won the shot put. Brentwood participants in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme served the local community in a number of ways. They raised money for the B.C. Lions Fund for Handicapped Children, visited and assisted elderly people in the neighbourhood, served as sellers for Vic- toria tag days, and worked so effectively with the Mill Bay Salmonid Enhancement Project that the Department of Fisheries offered lavish praise. Andrew Maile received his silver award in a recent ceremony at Government House and three other Brentwood students received certificates from the Lt. Governor for surviving Mr. Wingate ' s winter camping course. In October four of our students will receive gold medals under the Duke of Edinburgh ' s Scheme, 10 will receive silver medals and 16 bronze. The Girls ' Field Hockey Team won the Independent Girls Schools tournament for the second year in a row. In Double A school tournaments we finished a close third on the Island and 7th in B.C. As last year, we were the only single A school (fewer than 200 girls) to qualify for the double A Provincial Tournament. Our reputation as a force in the field hockey world is now Province wide. The Boys ' Field Hockey Team finished second in Independent Schools competition. Our first term Aquatics program culminated with 80 awards presented in Royal Life Saving. The second term was spent in the classroom instructing junior and senior resuscitation and first aid, with 60 students receiving awards, and in the third term nine students participated in an Instructors ' course. Nine students received cer- tification as open water divers in the Scuba program. Our 1ST XV Rugby Team played hard but an injury- plagued season left them with a win loss ratio of six to ten. The Second XV, Third XV, Fourth XV, Colts, and Junior Colts were all Independent Schools Champions in their divisions. This year it is rugby that has not ceased with the closing of the School term. On June 28th our 1ST XV fly off to Aukland, New Zealand for a tour of the South Pacific. They will play 12 matches in various corners of New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji, and atthesame time will have a good look at some of the highlights, cultural ones we trust, of that corner of the world. Not content with earthly pursuits, a few of our students opted for an aery experience. John Holt, George Payne, and Fred Wallis, in addition to all of their other Sc hool activities, have qualified privately for their pilot licenses. With all this activity going on in the Sports and Fine Arts Departments of the School, you will be wondering where academics fit into the scheme of things at Brent- wood. Academics, of course, are the number one priority. We ask our students to pay attention first to their studies and secondly to their extra-curricular commitments. Eighty percent of our graduates last year entered university or college in September — one to Princeton, 11 to Queens, 15 to U.B.C., 10 to the University of Alberta, 12 to the University of Victoria, to name just a few of their destinations. Mathematics has a strong emphasis at Brentwood and in this highly competitive, computer age we must match our progress with that of other Canadians. In the Canadian Junior Mathematics Contest for Grades 9, 10 and 11 , Brentwood placed fourth in British Columbia. The Canadian Euclid Competition for Grade 12 students placed Brentwood as fifth in B.C., with Michael Cottam and Herman Schenck rating in the top 60 students in Canada. 210 students in Canada were invited to write the Canadian mathematics Olympiad and three of our students, Donald Stanley, Michael Cottam, and Herman Schenck were among this elite number. The Canadian Mathematics League presents six papers throughout the year — Brentwood ranks third in British Columbia and fifteenth in Canada in this competition. We also entered, for the first time, the U.S.A. International Computer Problem Solving contest. We have had no official results for this contest as yet. In addition to external Mathematics contests, the Science Department entered students in contests organized by the Institute of Chemistry and Physics and the University of Waterloo. In competition with Grade 13 students from Ontario our students scored well, and Herman Schenck placed in the top 10 % in each contest. I am sure you all will be pleased to hear that, in essence, those remarks cover my Report. Before proceeding to make awards, however, I feel that there is one vital aspect of the year which I have ignored, an aspect for which there is no award, no recognition, and little public glory. Nevertheless, I intend to pay tribute to it publically today. I speak of the good-will, the cheerful spirit, the kindliness, and unfailing friendliness of all members of our student body. Of course, I am aware that in my own case the students regard me as a somewhat strange cross between Methusela and Mr. Chips. Nonetheless, on behalf of all adult members of this School community I would like to thank you all for making this campus such a joyous place each day. I also must thank personally the adult members of this community for their dedication and loyalty throughout the year. The academic Staff, who not only produce scholarship winners, but also manage to bring forth a degree of excellence from even the most reluctant student; the coaches, who uncomplainingly arise at the crack of dawn or work late into the night to keep the students in their charge at the peak of physical fitness; the laundry ladies, who turn out mountains of clean clothes and linen; the kitchen staff, who keep the calories coming, day after day. . . the list is endless and I cannot possibly say an individual thank you today to all who make Brentwood what it is. May I therefore simply let you know that your efforts on behalf of the School, whatever and wherever they are, are acknowledged and very greatly appreciated. We must, at this time, say a sad au revoir to three members of our academic Staff — Mrs. Hatfield, Mr. Keevil, and Mr. Reid. We wish them well in all theirfuture endeavors. At this time last year Mr. Bill Ross spoke of Brent- wood ' s development plans for the next few years, and some of you were able to view the model campus plan. As you can see, construction of the new girls dormitory is already under way. The dormitory, for 40 girls, will go into operation in January. However, although the plans for the development of the remainder of the School are still very much in effect, the time frame encompassing these changes has expanded to accommodate the financial climate. I wish to assure you all that we do not propose to commence any future building until funds are actually and totally available for that particular capital expense. When Mr. Bill Ross spoke at our Awards Day Ceremony last year, the nation was riding high on an economic crest. Since that time the economy has taken a plunge and that plunge has affected Canadians in many diifferent ways. To all of us the present economic conditions mean that we must contribute a little more, put forth that extra effort, and thereby help ourselves, our families, our com- munities, and our nation. It is interesting to note that in spite of the fact that financial difficulties mean that many parents have to make great sacrifices in order to cope with Brentwood fees, our Grade 8 enrollment has never been higher than it is for the 1982 83 School year. Personally, I am confident that these stringent economic times will have good results in the long run — there will not be so many easy dollars to be made, and Canada ' s productivity will and must increase so that we are to compete in world markets. Today ' s graduates will face many more challenges than have their predecessors for the last decade or so. Summer jobs will be few and far between. Students will have to work harder, produce better grades and skills in order to compete for the job openings that are available. As you all are aware, it is Brentwood ' s philosophy to require total commitment from our students in all aspects of their School lives. While we always have known that this policy will enable them to be more able and dedicated members of the adult communities they join after they leave School, we now feel that the training they receive here will give them a competitive edge in the situations with which they will be required to deal, because when the going gets tough the tough get going. To our 1982 graduates I must say that your lives, in the next few years, will not be easy — but if you are prepared to work hard, the challenge will be exciting and the rewards will be greater than ever because the satisfaction of doing well is always equal to the amount of effort put forth.

Ross, John Kitson, Mark Williamson, David Browett, Bruno Delesalle, Douglas Jung, David Duke Student Activities Committee SAC stands for STUDENT Activities Committee, and the goal this year was to make this description as accurate as possible. We needed a special group who knew how to please people, handle difficult situations and, most of all, organize activities and follow them through: Mr. Cameron, John McNeill, and I, with the help of the heads of House, had the job of selecting this group; we are very pleased with our choices and their steady work throughout the year. The committee has always been busy either doing or trying to do, and this is where we have surpassed other years — looking for things to ac- complish rather than waitingfor them to come up. Our group was large, but all members should be recognized for their efforts. Our President, John McNeill, has been cruising the Brentwood campus for five years, four of which have been spent helping the SAC; he has controlled the group very well, and it was largely thanks to his organizing ability that the very busy beginning of the social year went without a hitch . Michelle (what a sweetheart!): member of our dance committee, always offering to do things: posters, decorations, cleanup, and, of course, her early morning baking (5:30 a.m.!) for our bakesales. (Thanks toall those girls outside the committee who helped Michelle.) Helen was another early baker, and she also organized the Sunday outings, which ran very well; this was a new idea, and proved most popular. Nadine and Malcolm were in charge of special outings, and excellent outings they were: a raffle for tickets to a Rolling Stones concert, various plays and musicals, and assorted trips to other cultural and not-so-cultural events were typical undertakings. Our special thanks to Nadine, whose first year at Brentwood was very productive. We thank her, too, for the kind invitation to the whole com- mittee at the end of the year. Ben Butterfield and Dave Goldberg, two Rhombus types, were always running around cleaning, moving furniture, and meeting the bands; their help was in- valuable. Tanya and Lisa, short in stature but long on energy, seemed constantly to be down in the Auditorium before dances, stacking chairs and doing other dirty work, yet always making it in time for the sign-in table. Tanya also held responsibility for organizing (and, with Jennifer Leblond, carrying out) the SAC contribution to work in the local community — great effort, Tanya. The movies again have been an important part of the weekends thanks to Andrew ' s efficiency in advertising each film and operating the projector. The juniors had a great little dance committee with Blair Sorby, Tom Larsen, Skip Barrett, Mike Simmons, Pat Liddle and Blair Assaly. The first three not only ran their own junior dances superbly but also DJ ' d a few of our senior soc hops. Blair Sorby, in particular, was ' out- standing: his organization was meticulous, and he spared no effort during each dance ensuring that students and Staff alike enjoyed themselves. In a departure from previous years, we held a number of dances, with Queen Margaret ' s and St. Margaret ' s schools, for grades 8 and 9 only, organized and hosted by Pat, Mike, and Blair Assaly. These were a great success and should prove a popular feature of next year ' s programme. Excellent work, guys — you ' ll be vital next year. Dan, Allison, Sarah, and Angela were responsible for decorations and signs throughout the year: everywhere you looked there seemed to be a sign advertising the next dance, all of them the products of uncommon artistic ability (Dan ' s and Allison ' s should be displayed next to Toulouse Lautrec ' s). Under Michelle ' s direction, this group created a decor for the Halloween dance which was so effective that it took us three days to get rid of a coven of witches who had decided that the auditorium was the place to be. One of the most important areas of SAC responsibility always has been the foster child. This year the School has helped to support a teenaged boy in Bangia Desh called Narayan whose letters have provided a constant reminder of the difference between our world and that of the underprivileged in developing countries. The enor- mous value of programmes such as this lies precisely in the fact that both sides benefit from the bond created between the foster parents and the child, the depth of which is expressed by the generous response to our plea for letter-writers. Our contribution this year was organized by Leslie Carmichael, with the assistance of Skip, and to these two go thanks for an important job well done. This was the special group that John and I presided over from the start. But every start needs a starter, and our committee has been honoured and lucky to have Mr. Cameron as our Staff co-ordinator; but that, again, was. . . just the start. He followed up by being our Staff adviser when times were tough and giving his free time to supervise our dances, and by attending all committee meetings with new ideas and constant reminders. . . Ah, Scott — heard from Axis? or List up for weekend outing? and — a very popular one — Be sure those johns are open! Well, they worked. The SAC gives special thanks to Mr. Cameron, whose job on the committee seemed paramount just as long as he could help the students of Brentwood have a good time whenever possible. For the last three years I have assisted the SAC in various capacities, and for the last year I was very happy being the chairman of the dance committee and having a great, dedicated group behind me. Thanks for your much- needed support. Special thanks go to Mr. Allpress for his unfailing support of the SAC, and, in particular, for being so ready to volunteer for dance duty. His sartorial elegance and bonhomie were a welcome feature at many dances, and his infectious enthusiasm often provided the spark plug that got things going. Thanks, Mr. Allpress. My thanks to everyone for a great year, and best wishes to next year ' s committee for an equally successful one. Scott Gray Vice President With characteristic modesty, Scott has understated his own role in the SAC ' s achievements. His knowledge of the music scene and unflappably good-natured approach to difficult situations made him an invaluable ally, and it will be virtually impossible to replace him. In a group that has been outstanding not only for the willingness of every single member to work hard and give generously of their spare time, but for the courtesy and mature co-operation that were exemplified in their contribution to the success of the St aff children ' s Christmas party, I came to rely on Scott and John for their friendship, judgement, and total loyalty more than they perhaps realize. To them, and to Michelle, Nadine, Helen, Ben, and Malcolm, I offer my warmest thanks and best wishes for the future; to those returning, my congratulations on a good year ' s work and the hope that we can maintain this standard next season.

I almost forgot to mention one more It ' s Dubsie ' s wee little place. Next year her door will be open again And we ' ll see her smilingface. All of this is Hilton House The place we love so dear. The girls we ' ve got to know so soon Are why we shed the tear. One person who is very special Miss Wallace, oh so dear: Came to take Miss Dubsie ' s place While Dubsie was not here. For all her help we thank her And we ' ll miss her very much. But hope that she ' ll remember us And always keep in touch. But next year is a different thing The year of ' 83. It ' ll be hard to beat this one But we will, you ' ll see!!! MacKenzie House Twas the night before term ' s end And all through MacKenzie Little creatures were packing: Twelves, elevens and tenzies. Miss Tuck called th em in Girls, she said, let ' s remember The things we have done Since the first of September. So each, with a mug of peach tea and a tear Cast her mind back o ' er this quite remarkable year. . . We were: Leiloand Doobers and Lauren and Nikki, Dai, K.J., Al, Bertsie, Hil, Sue, and Vicky, And then our redoubtable leader (what luck!) Disposing of Dog-breath, we called her Miss Sch muck. Oft we ' d all be assembled And on popcorn we ' d munch Along with the back rubs and Oh, no! Brainless Bunch. When, suddenly, out to the road she would bolt And with music and spotlight, she ' d dance: Susan Holt. And what to our wondering ears would appear Every Wednesday sleep-in we all hold so dear But two slithering animals (no, they ' re not fish-a) But SNAKES, though artistic ones: Levy Attisha. And there ' s Al and her muffins And Bert ' s spunky pandas Mil ' s hippy bedspread Lauren ' s ' lectric Pianda Nikki ' s blow-dryer, Vicky ' s music that sends ' ya Leiloand her Cosmo And Sue ' s influenza. Our athletic prowess is amazing to see, Runners Sue and dear Dai, hockey jock McKinney. We have rowers (they are K.J. and Leilo) and, gosh! There ' s Miss Tuck and her endless attention to squash. And Deb who plays hockey and soccer and tenny In goal there is Lauren, in the deep there is Denny And let ' s not forget good ol ' Vick — she ' s no hack ' Cause she runs and she runs to the smoke-hole and back. Mid-way through the year came a man to our house. He melted our cheese, made our food — what a spouse! A contest decided the name for our stove Trusty Melton now sits in his little alcove. On the fourteenth of Feb Good ol ' Mack launched a plan To sell flowers to sweethearts Every woman and man And so, clad in red, pink, and white in thecaf We brought our carnations to students and Staff. Ou r love of the outdoors we wrote on a sign And, findinga suitably large bough of pine. We said to our House, We ' ll now decorate ' yer And thus was conceived noble Mack House of Nature. In singingand dance, it is said, we ' ve no peers And, donningtheir costumes, some became Gondoliers. Although one preferred art — and without hesitation Indulged us by some curtain re-decoration. And lively House outings became quite a habit With tape-deck and Schmuck climbed we into the Rabbit On to DQ! To Wendy ' s! To Burgundy ' s! Pags! To the Blue Nose! To the Bull! To the Butch! (tummies sags) And the 3 -man dorm parties, Our Chez Miss Tuck brunch, All followed by diet, Remorse, eggs for lunch. And let us all thank Our vice-head, Mrs. Hardie Who spoiled us with goodies, ' Oft an impromptu party. Now the year it has ended , but good friends remain We, ' til next year, and next, and so on, again. For one thing, please know: though you love us or hate us You may do what you will — you can ' t separate us! oxox Patterson House It stands alone at the entrance of campus like a sen- tinal, surveying all those who come to dwell at Brentwood. The mystique of this outpost is further enhanced by having a new keeper entrusted with the welfare of Pat- terson House. So it was in September, when the chosen five came to occupy the first and last visible abode at Brentwood College. One by one they appeared, emerging from the depths of campus to be greeted and instructed by this unknown, Mr. Stang. First came Sally carrying enough electrical appliances (hairdryer, popcorn maker, radio, etc.), giving her the appearance of being a travelling salesman for General Electric. Next was Stephanie, arriving with a TV Guide in one hand and enough paperbacks in the other to create somewhat of a fire hazard in her part of the dorm. The third member of the junior dorm was Lisa, arriving with every issue of Seventeen and Vogue magazines since their publications began. The senior dorm welcomed Jackie at about four in the afternoon. Once it became difficult to see on account of darkness, Jackie was reasonably confident that she had moved enough of her personal possessions into the House to survive the first term. Rounding off the quintuplets and the senior dorm was Susan. Thoroughly prepared for a tough academic year, she arrived with all her old school notes backdated to grade one. As we made our way through the first term, it became evident that the absence of a wake-up bell was unim- portant. For rising was signalled by the sound of a hair- dryer. With the frequent appearances of a pony in the backyard keeping the grass neatly trimmed, the girls decided a cat inside the House would further add to the home-like atmosphere. On a probationary agreement, duties of responsibility for the cat were handed out. The novelty of training (Lisa chasing the cat with a fork) and feeding (Susan using a spoon), soon became too much to handle, and through unanimous decision the cat was given to a needier home. The second term started much like the first except with ONE difference. The rain came. Four days and four nights in unceasing monotony the water came down, submerging both lawns and sidewalk. Until finally, as if by magic, the common room was transformed into a swimming pool. Once the tide had gone out, so it seemed, should the common room carpet. Thus the refurbishing began. Intrigued by this life on campus, Melanie joined Patterson House for the second term . The third term brought sunshine and spiders, each of which had an impact on the girls. The sunshine prompted not only Patterson girls but also others from campus to come armed with suntan oil, blankets and magazines to the outer fringe where the sun ' s rays travel unimpeded. The occasional spider which would visit through an open window had the girls travelling in groups of two with shoes clutched in hand swinging at anything that moved, until finally this creature which had ventured from the realm of the unknown to invade the sanctity of this unique campus residence had been obliterated by a forceful slipper. Screens on the windows put an end to these unlady-like hunting parties. As a result of sharing these and countless other ex- periences together, a bond of mutural respect, co- operation, and fondness unwittingly has been established between the inhabitants of Patterson House. This closeness due to a unique House setting fosters feelings of regret and encouragement for both Jackie and Susan who are leaving this year. Next year, for all those students returning, the entrance of campus will still be marked by the lone Patterson House. M.Stang Whittall House How does one measure the success or otherwise of a year in the House? If only on athletic successes, then we must admit to failure of fairly significant proportions. But surely there must be a far more important dimension: the desire to identify with and to emulate the best of those traditions which have built this House into a most meaningful sub-unit of the School. That some fell short in the meeting of these standards was a source of great disappointment and remorse to us all, but, as often happens, we emerged the stronger. A greater awareness of what responsibility really means and a communal desire to hold the House reputation high was a clear outcome. We were left far below par when it came to a fair share of athletes, but the most unlikely people stepped into the gaps and sheer House spirit carried us through the many Inter-House competitions with a degree of success quite out of proportion to our on paper ability. One recalls, in particular, the fantastic performance in the cross- country, when, with fewer numbers and no stars , we finished narrowly second — a truly inspirational effort by all. Yes — for the first time for many years, we have had to take a back seat on the athletic roller-coaster but not without a creditable fight and a great deal of desire to win. These things are cyclical, and, as well they are — our turn will come again! In the daily humdrum, spirits have remained high in spite of our setbacks, and the leadership from the top of the House has been positive and of a fine standard. Geoff lost some pounds. . . James lost almost everything. . . M.J. lost his socks. . . Ian lost his pills. . . Blair lost his voice. . . Marshall lost his cigarettes. . . Anthony lost his footing and in doing so nearly lost his nose. . . the grommets lost every battle with Mr. Cook. . . little Gibber lost his tennis match and big Gibber. . . We have greatly enjoyed the ample presence of Mr. Kevin Cook with us this year. He joined us just after Christmas and quickly involved himself in the running of the House. As Assistant Housemaster, he has taken much of the load off my shoulders in what has been a more than usually full year. To him, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Burrows, and Mr. Cooper, I extend my sincere thanks for their in- valuable help. To John and Bruno who have kept the ship upright, and to the other prefects who have assisted them so well, I wish all good fortune and God Speed, with my grateful thanks and those of us all in Whittall. J. L. Queen Privett House -a I suppose that there is some merit in penning these notes a few days before the end of term. With four days to go one can hope still for miracles: Wallace Charman, winner of the Murray Goldman $1.49 Award, may yet appear dressed as something other than a refugee from Spuzzum B.C.; John Pulos may get to bed on time; Little i Israel may pass an inspection; Patrick Liddle may keep 1 quiet for five consecutive minutes; David Duke may spend a day in his own dorm, not looking for food; Mark Williamson and Jamie Puckett may avoid violent contact for a whole evening; Harry Worsley may give up poker; and pigs mayfly. In addition one still may have warm, or at least neutral, feelings towards one ' s House members. The last night of term involving hurling the Housemaster into the sea, slapping him on the back and calling him by his first name, and waking him at 4 :00 a.m. to shake his hand has not yet taken place, and one still may, possibly, hope. . . The disadvantages of writing these notes before the end of term are covered by a sub-paragraph of Murphy ' s Law on giving praise: A Housemaster given to writing notes in praise of any student before the end of term will have that student commit an act so unspeakable that it will not only require the notes to be re-written, but also will call his judgement into question to the point that his career may be in jeopardy. Mild praise, clouded of course by all sorts of misgivings, must go to my prefects, most of them four or five year men, whose steadiness under fire, from grommets not yet housebroken, has been wonderful to behold. Who can forget the kindness, the gentleness, the sheer for- bearance of Mike Splatt and Mark Williamson in their dealings with Puckett, Liddle, Fraser, Shepheard, and Niven; and what about the hours of sheer devotion, of attention to minute detail, that Bruce Elder must have lavished on his dorm to bring it to the condition I usually found it in on my morning inspections. To those incredibly quiet prefects, Orr, Worsley, Leslie, and Attisha, who tiptoed around the dorm next to my office, fell asleep with a click sharply at lights out, and kept their sterecfs turned down to a bare murmur, some praise is due. I am sure Mr. Wingate feels exactly the same about his upstairs neigh- bors, Davids Duke and King; in fact, I hear that on oc- casion sheer gratitude has roused him from his bed to tell them so. Looking back over the year at our many triumphs on land and sea over less fortunate and gifted Houses, it is very tempting to ride the crest of the wave, to rest on one ' s laurels, to let down one ' s guard, to be lulled into a possibly false sense of security. So why not? It is time for a holiday anyway and next year under the dynamic leadership of — who might it be — Joel? Peter? Cam? Who knows what dizzy heights we may reach. So thank you David for all you and your prefects have done. Good luck to all who graduate or leave us this year. Hold on to all the good things you have learned while you were here. To all of you who will be returning in September, shape up! V. Lironi Ellis House I never realized how difficult it was to write a House Report trying to make your House seem the best without actually sayingso. With a new Housemaster, change was inevitable, but in spite of the uncertainties and slightly different philsophical approach, the House rallied round with a sense of determined loyalty for the most part and pulled through the year with a sense of purpose and pride in achievement. The grommets were noisy, but they always were and always will be; the Grade Tens faced the problems of split loyalty between cruising the campus and watching soccer from Spain on the television; the Grade Elevens always complained about having too much work to do, but they always did it and no one died from the efforts in- volved; and the Grade Twelves were always so busy that they were seldom to be found idling the hours away. The best thing about the year, perhaps, has been midst the successes we have had. Members of the House have learned to win and lose graciously and not simply to copy the win at all costs attitude of many professional sports toda y. At the end of the year our thanks go out to Mr. Cowie, who has laboured unceasingly to maintain the Ellis image as a House of happiness, loyalty and spirit within the House. Finally, my best wishes to Ellis House in the future. C.H.Reid Rogers House As Seen From the Top. . . I couldn ' t help smiling a few weeks ago as I watched Dave Browett returning from the dining room with Craig Day. The little fellow was voicing his opinion on some issue and Dave was grinning down at him. In so many ways, though, I think this typifies the most significant feature of the House this year. There has been a tremendous spirit and sense of unity. Full marks to the seniors for their leadership and the care and interest they have taken in the junior house. It ' s been a super year. We ' ve certainly enjoyed it. ACC JCA As Seen From the Sports Desk. . . The House has done extremely well this year and our Grommets have proved that we again will be the hardest to contend with in years to come. Our first win was in the prestigious X-country in which we trampled over our opponents in both junior and senior events. Our seniors took the basketball later in the year, and then the other major Inter-House event, the track and field, was won again, for the third time in a row. Then the shells hit the water and the high spirited Rogers ' Crews came out on top in the Inter-House rowing to finish off the year. Well done to everyone in the House for all their support, enthusiasm and super House spirit in the sporting area. Scott Gray [Sports Captain] As Seen by the Prefects. . . . Under those great pillars of strength, that were our Captain and his assistants, namely Mark Kushniryk and Bruce Abel, existed a cluster of misfits — the prefect body. While Mr. Whist ' s collection of obtained Beatles albums appeared, disappeared and reappeared, Kevin Tokarsky, Malcolm Smith, and on occasions Robert Mountfort and Scotty Gray, toiled the route up to Alex House. Meanwhile, Mr. Fitzpatrick and that ever- adorable swine Lee Croden survived yet another prep session at the Backgammon board. Outside on the grass Mike Lebow and Buffy Horsley searched in vain for Spencer ' s spine. Steeped in books and their pens flying over sheets of clean pages Michael Kouritzin and Peter Chan examined Einstein ' s Equation for the Photo Electric Effect in reference to the production of Cathode Rays. In the middle of all this stood Dave Browett, shutters clicking away. . . photographing everything mentioned. This crew made up the prefect body whose job it was to police the halls and rooms of Rogers 1982. As Seen by the Day students. . . Included in the unique population that is The House was a small contingent of day students. Day student are words summarizing one who pays half the tuition of a boarder and is supposed to return home to sleep, but rarely does, thus receiving the best of both worlds. Such were the lives of the brothers Smith and Carlos. While the former bounced about campus in the most bright and gawdy clothes listening to the latest from Britain, the latter rowed with many a crew to victory. The rest, Messrs. Grant, Martine, Boan, Brown, Sorby, Lovelace, and that Gary Grant of the House , Michael Eugene Balme, were consistently late for classes and the bus back home. Malcolm Smith As Seen From Below. . . Rogers House is made up of mainly two parts: the Upper Corridor and the Lower Corridor. The Upper Corridor may appear to be normal, but do not look too closely, for you may find the inhabitants of the four man dorm. Ron Abramski may look tough but he got his size from eating all the toilet paper that he hordes. His three roommates punish him for his actions by pinching his cheeks until they grow so big that he has trouble opening his eyes. Across the hall from Ron lives Mike Levy and Adam Heffelfinger. As you enter this room you will notice that Mike has hundreds of dollars worth of equipment for keeping his nose in shape. If he does not keep his nose fit, it may someday turn into flab. Mike ' s roommate, Adam, is quite a character himself. He constantly is changing his hair colour, until one day he became satisfied with a nice blondish-green that matched his socks. Rogers House was led gallantly by our leader, Mark Kushniryk. Usually Kush finds that it is hard to control his House and needs to be assisted by his close companion, Bruce Abel. While Bruce is settling the House down, Kush hides his face. After the House has been calmed, Kush will show his puffy face all ready for more ridicule. You see, Kush has a major problem in keeping his body under control and from getting too excited. Kush may be the major reason for Joel Whist ' s sour temper. Joel sometimes goes through bad spasmodic fits in which grommets sometimes can be injured badly. Mike Fitz- patrick is a lot like Joel, but has more control over his actions; in other words, he means to beat up grommets. One of the major jocks in the House is Scott Grey, who, I despite his major case of pigeon toes, made a terrific showing in the cross-country run. Rob Mountfort is the House womanizer. After going through twenty girls, he still is going strong. Lee Croden (piggy) always seems to be sticking his snout into various grommet delicacies. After mentioning all these people, we cannot forget Mr. i Allpress and Mr. Carr. Mr. Oly Oly Allpress was wielding his stick in fair proportions this year but it was nothing to get upset about (but get a sore bum about). Mr. and Mrs. Carr rewarded the House with tasty sweets and pop. This happened, of course, only when we won the big shiny trophies for our major victories, such as cross-country and track and field. All in all the House remained its rough and joyous self. T. Davis andJ. Lee SPORTS Leslie Philipp Sports Recreational Activities My first year as Athletic Director of Brentwood College has been most satisfying. To be able to run a Sports program where the students and Staff are so involved would be any P.E. teacher ' s dream. The dedication and time that the students and Staff contribute is truly remarkable. These commitments have paid off in our successes on the fields and on the water. I also would like to pay tribute to those athletes who did not get the same recognition as some others did. It is my feeling that we are afl equally important to the School and the sporting atmosphere it upholds. I must say that I am very proud to be a part of this School and look forward with enthusiasm to another great year in 1982-83. G. Dukelow 1 PLAYED - 16; WON - 6; LOST - 10; POINTS - FOR 255; AGAINST: 212 The big question hanging over us for the 1981 season was whether the forwards could get enough ball to allow some talented backs to score trys. In David Duke and Mark Williamson we had two match-winners, but there was only one returning forward, Herman Schenck. There seemed little talent in the Senior XV ' s of 1980, who had had their worst season ever. The Colts, although they had revealed some promising players, would be young and inexperienced. As it transpired the pack won plenty of ball, but the backs were hit by the worst spate of injuries I can recall. We ended with mixed feelings: we were delighted we had done as well as we had; we were disappointed because we could so easily have won the league. The greatest tribute must be paid to our young pack and particularly Herman Schenck who held them together. Herman was a force in the line-out, always in the middle of rucks and mauls, and an intelligent pack leader — truly an inspiration to those around him. Joining Herman in the 2nd row was Mark Kushniryk, another fine forward. He also worked hard, but has the mobility of a back-row forward — the position he should play in senior rugby. With his ' basketball hands ' he assured us a plentiful supply of ball from the front of the line-out. Abramski, Smith, and Felzien — although 15 years old, 16, and 15 — were awesome in set scrums. Against S.M.U., for example, we took seven in a row against the head. We were fortunate indeed to have, in Delesalle, Splatt, and Furneaux, three reserves of a quite out- standing quality, and inter-squad games had a com- petitiveness that is essential for front rows. Behind the front five we had our problems. We never managed control of second phase which is so crucial in close games. Andy Lund developed into a useful number eight, particularly in defence, and Michael Maxwell was an untiring workhorse on the blind-side. He was responsible for a great deal of the maul ball we won. Ron MacDonald, once he became really fit, proved a strong reserve for these positions. But we never did solve the problem at open-side. Brain Stredder ran all over the paddock, but lacked direction. Chris McLernon was technically sound, but lacked the physique to contest for the ball. One of the main reasons we had such problems with St. George ' s was the inability of our open-side breaks to contain Paddy Hamilton. In spite of our youth and certain limitations, the for- wards gave us enough ball to win matches. Unluckily we were hit by an unprecedented wave of injuries. Seventeen backs played for the 1ST XV! Mr. Prowsehad to scour B and C groups to field a team. Sometimes, and the in- decent weather had much to do with this, we had to field back lines who had not even had an opportunity to practice together. Considering all the problems we played amazingly well but we sorely missed David Duke in a few key games, and Mark Williamson for much of the season. We were well served at scrum-half by Doug Ewing, a very tough and durable player fresh from the Colts and a converted inside-centre. He proved a good link in dry weather, and was absolutely invaluable in the mud where he tidied up with tremendous courage. We had problems at outside-half. Several players were tried including Jamie Delmotte, from the Colts. He played with great poise for one so young, showed us he had beautiful hands, but, not surprisingly, found the pace of 1ST XV rugby rather hot. Our best fly half was un- doubtedly David Duke, but often we thought it in our best interests to have David at full-back. David, in spite of a series of nagging injuries, showed us he is the most exciting attacking back in the history of the School. He has the extraordinary ability to sense when an opponent is slightly off balance, and then make his move. He kicks well with both feet, is sure in defence, and a fine tactician. He was a good Captain, and managed to maintain team spirit in spite of many frustrations. He played equally well at outside-half, inside-centre, or full- back. Indeed, at one point, we would like to have cloned him and played him in all seven back positions! One of the great successes of the season was Kevin Tokarsky. Not under serious consideration, he appeared, in September, fighting fit and immediately established himself in the team. Not only did he play well, he often was called on to hold together the back-line in the ab- sence of more experienced players. This challenge he cheerfully accepted. At outside centre David Browett and Mike McDonough were very similar. Both were powerful runners with a liking to have a go. Both lacked the passing skills to move the ball under pressure and put away the wing. Mark Williamson was clearly our best wing, the best we have ever had. Not only is he very fast, he is also very strong and quite capable of carrying several would-be tacklers over the goal-line. He scored 17 trys in the 1980 season, and 14 in 1981, although he missed most of the matches through injury. Had he played more, I am quite confident we would have been serious contenders for the Cup. Many players were tried on the wing, but by the end of the season Joel Whist seemed to have become the prime candidate. He was always eager to learn, and showed great improvement, but he just lacked the pace and physique to be truly dangerous in attack. His defence was impeccable. Another player who had established himself by the end of the season was Rohan Lyal at full back. He was originally kept out by David Duke, but when David moved to outside-half, Rohan seized the opportunity with both hands. He is large, afraid of nothing, and shows the basketball player ' s timing when he enters the line in attack. He is a fine prospect for 1982. As I write we are within two weeks of leaving on a very exciting tour to the South Pacific. Our record should leave us with little cause for optimism; in fact, we are full of high spirits. Our young players are nine months older and stronger than they were last September. We have learned a lot, as we showed quite clearly in February when we handsomely defeated in an exhibition game S.M.U., the Independent Schools champions. And Hope springs eternal. . . If only we can stay healthy! I.R. Ford 1ST XV Record 1981-82 DATE OPPONENTS SCORE SCORERS 19 Sep 1981 S.O.B.

After the 1980 debacle, when we had very little talent, it was a delight to have a 2 ND XV containing several players who, in most years, would have been on the 1ST XV. Such was the case with the front row. Bruno Delesalle and Mark Furneaux were two awesome props, while Michael Splatt was the fastest striker in the School. With a platform like this it was not surprising we saw a great deal of ball from the set-scrums, in some matches virtually a monopoly. Alan Ross, in the 2nd row, had the height but had to overcome a tendency to allow himself to be bounced around in the line-out. As he gained confidence, his play improved dramatically. For no one ' in the 2ND XV could success have been sweeter than for Ridley Wikkerink, our other lock, and sole two-year member of the team . Having suffered through the disasters of 1980, more than anyone, enjoyed the successes of 1981. A splendid team- man, in defeat as much as in victory! In the back row there was much coming and going with the 1ST XV. At openside Chris McLernon got through an incredible amount of work and looks a fine prospect for 1982. Ron MacDonald was an excellent Number 8, and fulfilled the most important criterion of that position: he looked as good going backwards as going forwards. David Attwell was good with the ball in his hands, but after an injury showed a reluctance to go after the ball on the ground. Brain Stredder and David Sharpe, at blind-side, had similar problems: they expended tremendous amounts of energy to reach the point of breakdown but need to make more impact when they arrive. All in all, however, this was a splendid pack and they insured a plentiful supply of the ball. At times, stirred up by Michael Splatt, good both as pack leader and team Captain, they looked positively awesome at the 2ND XV level. Because of our injury problems in the 1ST XV, we had a constantly changing back line, but somehow, no matter how unused to each other, the three quarters managed to pull together and look threatening. Our record shows an average of scoring 14 points per game — no mean record in a league as tight as the Seconds ' tends to be. Both Tim Brown and Scottie Gray proved useful links at scrum half, while Mike Lebow kicked intelligently at fly half. In the centre David Goetz, although a little slow, was a technically sound player, tackling courageously and being one of the best passers of the ball in A group. Doug McMullen was an exciting runner and scored one memorable try against Shawnigan when he scooped up a rolling ball and darted between, around, and under several defenders. Our back three were a little vulnerable under the high ball, but exciting in attack. On the wing we had lots of speed with Marshall Farris, John Greer, and John Vic- cars. The first was very aggressive but lacked the physique, while the other two had the size but sometimes appeared unwilling to take on their opposite members, possibly because of lack of experience. At fullback Rohan Lyal appeared until his promotion to the 1ST XVs, at which time several players took over, including Gordon Bell from the 3RD XV. In spite of our problems with injuries at the 1ST XV level and the ensuing coming and going , this 2ND XV maintained a tremendous team spirit. When they were at full strength they played very attractive rugby, and were deserving winners of the 2 ND XV Championship. I.R.FORD 3RD XV Rugby I 88 I PLAYED-8; WON-7; LOST-0;TIED-1; POINTS - FOR: 119; AGAINST: 20 Early September saw the School Rugby Club go through the annual review of its talent new and old, and in doing so, establish groups A, B, and C. Following this review, B group set to work to build up fitness and find the best combination of personnel. The forwards showed good size and aggression, the backs ran hard, and happily there were sufficient experienced players in vital positions to mould the team quickly. A positive aggressive attitude was soon evident and the season opened with well forged wins over Cowichan High School and St. George ' s. Thereafter, life was made both complicated and challenging as a result of a steady attrition amongst first XV backs. For the balance of the season life as a back at Brent- wood was a series of irregular vertical motions amongst the top four teams from practise to practise and game to game, which bewildered the coaches but not the players! Happily these movements did not seriously affect results, and offered many players a breadth of experience they might not otherwise have had. The pattern of play was established early and main- tained throughout. The forwards were formidable in the set scrum, John Eraser striking very well. Jamie Schafer developed into a superb lineout forward, and the back row, led by David Attwell and John Stubenberg, were quick and aggressive. Both Tim Brown and Scott Gray developed sound habits about the base of the scrum, moving the ball well, and Tim Horsley developed fine kicking skills. With strength and speed at centre and wing Gordon Bell, whilst still an ' exciting ' defender, was most creative in attack besides handling the place kicking duties. I should like to thank the team at large for their hard work and keen competitive spirit, and particularly to John Kitson and John Stubenberg for their tireless examples and support at all times. W.J, Burrows 4TH XV Rugby 4TH XV RUGBY PAGE 87 PLAYED -5; WON -4; LOST- 1; POINTS — FOR: 168; AGAINST: 18 This season was a most exciting one, beginning with Michael Lebowand Doug Garnett for their whole-hearted the establishment of a sound competitive attitude early in example and support at all times. September. The team worked hard to build up fitness, W.J. Burrows and, after some minor positional changes, the team positions remained quite consistent for much of the season. The forwards, lacking a little weight in the front row, were mobile and quite robust. The positions in the back row were contested very keenly indeed. Doug Garnett, though light for No. 8, led the group well, whilst Blair Sorby and Tim Tarling gave him admirable support. Sean Hugo, at scrum half, developed a fine two way service and really came on in the latter half of the season as a runner from the base of the scrum. The backs, affected by movements to and from ' A ' group, moved the ball well and ran hard and straight. Jeremy Duggan, in particular, became an admirable centre and at his present rate of growth will be extremely effective next season. Despite a short season owing to lack of local opposition, players developed very well. I am grateful for their en- thusiasm and energy, and would like to thank specifically The Fighting Fifths PLAYED - 10; WON 360; AGAINST: 58 9; LOST - 1; POINTS - FOR: Once again the Fifths were able to put on the field a strong combination of experienced and enthusiastic senior players. Indeed, I felt their dedication and exuberance surpassed those of any previous year. Suc- cess at this level depends as much on team morale as on actual rugby skills. The Captain, Robert Mountfort, managed to generate a great deal of honest effort from his teammates by exerting, personally, an all out effort in every game he played. The competition came largely from the local junior secondary schools with Mount Prevost providing the stiffest opposition, though Quamichan looked strong in the one game we played against them before they were disbanded. Unfortunately, Shawnigan was extraordinarily weak at this level this year and we amassed prodigious scores in both of the league games played against them. Cowichan Senior S econdary School finally shattered an unbeaten record on the last game of the year, played in Duncan in the rain and the gathering darkness. It was no disgrace to be beaten by a better, heavier, and faster group of boys, some of whom would find a place in our top teams. Adam Heffelfinger and Fred Thomson will continue to grow and gain strength; they will be again formidable front row forwards next year. Peter Dobell ' s back may not permit him to hook much longer, but he has good technique and a quick strike. John McNeill and John Holt, who locked the second row, overcame early binding problems and provided a good shove. The unit was held together by a very sturdy Cameron Ewing, and kept straight by Tan Barkley and Michael Fitzpatrick. These latter two were undoubtedly the two most devastating tacklers on the team. Substituting in the back row from time to time were Fred Wallis, Peter Graham, and Mat- thew Mallon, all competent players who deserve their share of praise. Behind the scrum Spencer Ross provided a fast and efficient service to Mountfort, though he absorbed a lot of punishment which ultimately gave him a disabling back problem. Mountfort ' s role as a stand off proved to be the key factor in almost every game we played. He was capable of making the fast break, setting up the reverse and kicking ahead as the situations presented them- selves. He also tackled strongly and many points were scored from his accurate place-kicking. Working outside him on the line were David Beddome and Michael Seed, both of whom had elusive running ability. Eric Jones, Anthony Ghitter, and Brad Wintrup shared duties on the wings. Of the three, Wintrup, with his size and durability, is perhaps the best prospect for next year. Mention has to be made of Andrew Gibson who was an outstanding fullback. He tackled superbly and always was ready to join the backline for offensive support. I am sorry to say he will not be available next year. Altogether this was a memorable season from a coaching point of view, because so many boys realized their potential, and the group came together to play the game in a tough, sportsmanlike manner that left no doubt to anyone who watched them that they really were en- joying themselves. R.S.Wynne The Slaughterhouse Sixths I mm •MR i PLAYED - 6; WON - 3; LOST - 3 ; POINTS- FOR 124; AGAINST: 70 This group forms a training ground for boys who join the School and are new to the game of rugby football. We were fortunate indeed to have the coaching services of Mr. Ian Reid, a young man from Edinburgh, who was able to pass on many of his ill-gained forward skills learned in the hard school of Scottish rugby. We were fortunate too to have on this side some senior boys who had a couple of years of Brentwood rugby behind them, and they formed the core of the team. They played six games against local opposition and did very well indeed to split those decisions. Shawnigan was unusually weak at this level and gave us an easy start to the year, but George Bonner and Quamichan proved too strong for such an inexperienced group. The leadership was provided by Michael Levy who is always vociferous, but was able to set a good example on the field of battle with intelligent kicking and running plays. I was more concerned about his defensive tackling. Also conspicuous in this group were Robert Orr, Andrew Hardie, and Poul Bay, who ran with great determination. Nikhil Patel was not good in defence but did score tries from the wing three-quarter position. Unfortunately, injuries to Maurie Feldberg and Andrew Rahme greatly weakened the pack, and it was uphill work for Benjamin Butterfield, the hooker, Wallace Charman the prop, and Markus Gruene, the number eight, who emerged as the best of the forwards. On the whole this group can be well pleased with their progress and achievements this Winter. There is a good crop of experienced players to form a Fifth Team com- bination next year. R.S.Wynne Colts Rugby Colts A Colts B PLAYED 14 WON 10 TIED 1 LOST 3 POINTS FOR 189 POINTS AGAINST 97 Titles: B.C. Independe nt Schools Under-16 Champions Vancouver Island Under-17 Champions Vancouver Mid-Island Under-17 Champions History has been made. For the first time a Brentwood Colts team has won three major titles in one term of rugby. All the championships were contested closely and it is to their credit that they had the character, as well as the skill, to win. After two early exhibition games — a good win over Vancouver Tech 31-0, and a narrow 8-6 loss to Magee in Vancouver — the Colts began to settle down to the daunting routine of a Thursday mid-Island league game and a Saturday Independent Schools game. Such a schedule would not be too hard if some games were easy ones, but in our case none were easy. Indeed, the mid- Island was as strong as it has ever been. Our first mat- ches were close but convincing wins (St. George ' s 9 -3 and George Bonner 3-0). We then had one of our toughest games against Mt. Prevost. We were down 7-4 with two minutes remaining, when Skip Barrett got the ball in his own half. He went on a dazzling run right through the opposition, scored his second try of the game and won the match single-handedly. Thanks Skip! Two easier games followed and the team showed all its strength in beating Shawnigan 26-0 and a youngQuamichan team 30-6. This left us with four wins in the mid-Island league. The last and deciding game was to be played at Lake Cowichan. What a fitting climax to the season the game proved to be. Both teams battled with great deter- mination and skill. Lake Cowichan held a 6-0 lead until the last five minutes but some good Brentwood pressure finally paid off. A good forward push and a quick break gave Gray Thomson the chance to plunge over for a try. Tim Waring had a very difficult conversion to make — from 40 yards out into a strong wind — but he calmly stroked it through to give us a 6-6 tie and the mid-Island title. This championship put us into the Island finals, where we met Wellington in the semi-final. Our experience and forward strength gave us a convincing 11-0 win. This put us in the final against a promising Parklands team. The game was played in a storm and the cold, wet, muddy field was far better suited to the Parklands kicking game than to our running game. Certainly Parklands had the edge early on and led 6-0 into the second half. But this Bren- twood team showed their true mettle by working their way back into the game. Never let it be said that this team ever gave up, and towards the end they were forcing the play against a severe wind. Eventually Don Zvekich broke away from a line-out and powered his way over for a try. A convert (Tim Waring again) tied the game at 6-6. We now went into 20 minutes of extra-time and our superior fit- ness was beginning to give us a big edge. The vital win- ning try was a great opportunist ' s one. Tim Waring made a daring interception. Two quick passes, a lightning two- man ruck, another pass and Tim Waring scored the try that he began. Don Zvekich added another try to ensure the 16-6 win and the Vancouver Island Under-17 Championships. (N.B. We were Under-16 ' s playing in the Under-17 league.) A low point in the season followed as we lost to St. George ' s in Vancouver where the main tragedy was the loss of our Captain, Jamie Delmotte, who was kicked in the first minute of the game and suffered a spiral fracture of the leg. Not only was Jamie a great tactician, but he was an inspirational leader also, and the team sorely missed him. Eventually the Independent Schools Championship came down to the last game of the season against St. Michaels in Victoria. Once again the team was behind on points in the second half but the character of this Colts group came through again as they went on to win 20-18 and captured their third title of the season. All thre6 championships were earned in games where they were behind in the second-half but came back to secure victory. This fact alone bears testimony to their courage, their discipline, and their self-confidence. Many teams have good skills, strength, and speed, but few have the drive and the heart necessary to work best when in a position of adversity. It would be unfair to single out individual stars because over the whole season all the players contributed a great deal. It was unusual. for a Brentwood Colts team in that the backs were stronger than the forwards. We did not excel in scrumming but the forwards were quickly on the loose ball, and we did well in the line-out. But in some close games we managed less than 50% of possession from set plays. However, we had some outstanding backs who combined well to give us this vital edge. Colts A Squad: (Junior pins ) T. Larsen, A. Maile , D. Zvekich , B. Begg , T. McBride, J. Gibson, M.

Co-winners of the MacKenzie Boot Award (for the greatest contribution to Junior rugby): J. Delmotte and T. Waring. Colts B The Colts B team can be very proud of their per- formance this season. Much of the team was inex- perienced in those early weeks and the team faced the same schedule as the A team because they were in the same mid-Island league, playing the A teams from all the other schools. Despite some heavy losses in the mid- Island league, the team improved considerably because of the experience gained from playing. The team steadily improved all aspects of their game. Their progress was clearly shown in their Independent Schools results. Losing the first game by more than 20 points, they came back to beat St. Michaels, Shawnigan, and to tie St. George ' s. A good team spirit ran through the group. thanks largely to the efforts of Captain Barnaby Jung and Vice-Captain Bruce Foreman. Colts C The Colts C were an affable bunch. They practised with dedication and a good sense of humour (you have to when you are on B2 i n November!). They provided good support for the other teams and managed some exciting battles with our Senior 7th XV. Sincere thanks from Mr. Allpress and Mr. Garvey go to all the players on the Colts group for their outstanding effort and performance this season. J. C. ALLPRESS J. B. GARVEY In a year that has featured the emergence of the Junior School in rugby, the Junior Colts did their part by tying St. George ' s for the Independent Schools Championship. This tremendous performance by the A team can be credited to a lot of hard work in practice and a wonderful team effort. In his first year coaching at the School, Mr. Dukelow was truly blessed by a brawny, aggressive pack of forwards. The front row of Dugie Smith, Brett Niven, and Troy Kaspars got the better of every team we played, while Troy Farwell and Don Mclnnes were a pair of burly locks, who provided plenty of lineout ball and revelled in the rucks and mauls. The back row, likewise, was an excellent blend of hard driving determination, in the person of Stephen Leister, courageous cover tackling by Jamie Puckett, and try scoring by Mr. Versatility, Steven Carlos. At number eight, Carlos contributed excellent leadership and notched 17 tries in 12 games. The backs also blossomed, as they should have done considering the amount of ball the forwards lavished on them. At halfback John Lee and Joe Paify were gritty defenders and attacked with flair. PaIfy was a remarkably skillful kicker and playmaker for this level of play, running the backline with considerable elan. In the centre, Peter Jonassen provided the defense, while Eric Thrall, in the great Thrall tradition, grabbed the glory with a bagful of points (15 tries and 14 conversions for 88 points). Thrall was more than a talented runner, however, as he displayed great team spirit and worked as hard at his game as anyone. The wings included, alternately, Jamie Boan and Dave Kuypers, while Mike Simmons and Duff Goodwin shared the fullback spot. All of these players showed enormous improvement in their games and should be exciting players next year. All of this talent was supported ably by the B team, captained by Boan or Cam Nelson. This industrious group provided depth for the A ' s and were very competitive in their games, despite an inability to get the elusive win. I still can see them toiling courageously against St. Michael ' s in the freezing rain and mud, leading by a try with minutes left, only to have the opposition rally at the end of the game to rob the valiant B ' s of a win they truly had earned. I do not really think they minded so much at the time, though. They were much more concerned with getting warm! To recap the season, the highlights were many and the disappointments few. The A ' s win over St. George ' s over there (after having lost early in the year) was as exciting a game as I have seen. I was astonished by the intensity and skill displayed by both teams. However, two bullish tries by an inspired Steve Carlos made the difference. All of the players that Mr. Dukelow and I worked with this season were extremely keen and well motivated. They played the game with great energy — they were hard men, but good sports. I am sure our fellow coaches will agree that the most rewarding thing in coaching is not winning, but the joy and enthusiasm we see in boys playing the game of rugby. Season Record: Junior Colts A Won 8 Tie 1 Lost (2 exhibitions) 3 Points For 230 Points Against 77 S.COWIE 1 Mice Rugby Mice A Mice B ' Mousepower rules ' was the motto adopted by the smallest members of the Brentwood rugby community. Amid the shrieks and yells (in fifty different sharps and flats) rugby football was brought into the lives of the 48 mice in our ranks. We struggled, we sweated, we cried in anguish (and sometimes in pain and frustration), but we never gave up, and by the end of the third week of term we were ready, in our own uncertain way, to face the best that Magee could throw at us. In spite of the rain, in spite of the cold, and in spite of the legions of butterflies in the stomach, we opened our fixtures with a win. And so it would have continued, but alas, all glory was not to be ours, and we fell victim to a powerful Shawnigan Lake team and also to the elusive men from St. George ' s. The highlights of our season, or at least the events that we will most remember, must include the two Mouse Tours to Vancouver, when we stayed over in town after our games and were given hospitality by our Vancouver- based parents. To them all, and in particular to the MacLaren and Purdy families, we give our special thanks. Next year we face the prospect of discarding our tails in favour of the ranks of the Junior Colts. Perhaps we will be allowed to kick the ball more often, we may be allowed to use a two-man line out, and possibly even learn some complicated penalty moves in an attempt to out-wit the teams from the other side of the Malahat. Good luck to next year ' s Mice team — we hope that you will have as much fun as we have had. Ian Foreman Troy Cooke P.S. Note from the Coach: Remember, ' Ex semine arbor ' !

Rowing This was probably the most successful year in the history of the Brentwood College Rowing Club. The Senior crews enjoyed competition success both at the local level and at the Nationals in St. Catharine ' s, Ontario, while the Junior Crews (Colts and Bantams) dominated the Island regattas and gave a good account of themselves at the Pacific Northwest Championship. None of this could have happened without the energy and dedication of the coaching Staff and squad Captains who were tireless throughout the year. The system of recruiting and training of the Junior Crews is a model which may be followed by many other clubs in Canada in the years to come. I am very impressed by the results of this programme and a great deal of credit for our suc- cesses in both Senior Heavy and Light Crews must be attributed to this programme. The summer tour of Eastern Canada and the United States was a great success in its own right, but the spin- off benefits became apparent at the first regatta of the year. Our Club members knew exactly what to do while unloading trailers, preparing shells, and warming up for their races. It gave the coaching Staff an opportunity to size up the opposition and check the racing conditions rather than dealing with the dull routine. The experience of sixteen different regattas in the extended summer of 1981 was the major reason behind all those smooth starts and cool racing tactics this year. My thanks to Mrs. Susan Garvey, Bonnie Robinson, John Queen, John Allpress, and Kevin Cook for making this season such an enjoyable and rewarding one. Few clubs can boast of so many energetic and talented coaches. A.C. CARR Heavyweight Crews Senior Heavyweight Eight The normal procedure is to write separate articles for the Varsity and Junior Varsity crews, but this was a very unusual group of young men, and the normal separation into two distinct crews did not occur even at the height of the racing season. The students returning in September after our very successful summer tour added a spirit of excitement and enthusiasm to the early weeks of our Fall programme. We placed an emphasis on the technique of sweep rowing, and, by rigging an eight with sculling riggers, encouraged many oarsmen to try their hand at sculling as well. This experiment in octosculling had to end when the novice oarsmen left the dry dock and both MacKenzie eights were needed for the Colt programme. The extra emphasis on technique and sculling had a favourable effect on the quality of rowing in the Spring and Summer terms. Some very important sections of the crew, which en- joyed so much success in Philadelphia and elsewhere on tour, were missing from the line-up, and, although we had lots of experience and talent in our squad, we spent a long time searching for the elusive rhythm of good rowing, with one strokeman after another. While this was going on, we had moved into the weight room and were working on development of strength and endurance. Ergometer tests were given to determine the quality of the individual training programmes, and based on all these results, we set our goals for the racing season. It appeared that we would have an exceptionally strong Under-17 (Junior at the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Association Regatta) Heavyweight crew. The combination of size, strength, and experience could hardly be matched anywhere in the country, and we were reasonably confident of being competitive in that division. It was in the Senior division (20 years and under to ac- commodate the Grade 13 ' s in Ontario) that we appeared to have several weaknesses. Only five Grade 12 students remained from the Heavyweight Squad of the previous year, and we would have to row Juniors in this boat in order to complete the crew. Thus began our game of musical seats, changing boating orders, rearranging crews, switching sides, until we were all thoroughly dazed by the process. We attended a few competitions in this nascent period, and placed a strong second in the Victoria Spring Regatta Senior A race, earlier winning the school pennant in the Head of the Lake on Shawnigan. The Junior crew at this stage was assimilating a number of novice oarsmen, and it was not until the U.B.C. Invitational Regatta that they managed a race without producing a major disaster, winning the Freshman division against U.Vic, U.B.C, and Seattle Pacific crews. The two Heavyweight crews and the Senior Lightweight crews returned from their Easter vacation for a five day training camp before the beginning of our final term, and this set the tone for the racing season. The Junior Eight excelled in the long endurance pieces, but the Senior Eight, with the assistance of Alumnus David Ross, dominated in the three to five minute races. Much of this training was done on the west arm of Shawnigan Lake while Mill Bay was being shaken by southeast winds. We were indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dixon for the use of their beach and foreshore for nearly one month of this season. The oarsmen did not appreciate wading into the chilly waters of Shawnigan, but this coach appreciated the flat water and unbroken training schedule. The School racing season began with our own Brent- wood Regatta, and the rivalry between the two crews in our boathouse was intense. The Junior Eight crew had won the intersquad race on the previous week, and were confident of victory. The Senior crew surprised them with a blistering start and cruised to a two length upset victory in the School event. In the same race they held the Canadian University Champion U.Vic. Senior crew for 1000 metres before relinguishingthe open eight event to the Viking crew. The Junior Four won the coxed four event, edging U.Vic, and the early leaders, Shawnigan Lake School. The crews were rearranged for the prestigious Open Day Regatta to be held in Seattle on the first weekend in May, and as expected, the Junior Eight won the club eight event by a comfortable two lengths over the U.W. Fresh- man second boat. The Senior crew did not have it so easy against the very powerful U.W. first Freshman crew, and had to be content with a second place, but posted a very respectable 6:07 forthe2000 m course. A poor showing at Quamichan Lake forced a radical change in the crew. The result was incredible. The new combination clicked on the very first outing and started to move quickly two days later. By the end of that first week we knew that something magical had happened. Our Varsity crew was posting faster times into a head wind than many previous School crews could do under neutral conditions. We travelled to St. Catharine ' s and began training on the regatta course, hoping we could keep secret the recent improvement in our performance. The Senior crew only worked out when the course was deserted, and the Juniors, who rowed in the evening, were thought to be our Senior crew by most of the local scouts. Our days in St. Catharine ' s were spent well, and all of our crews could feel the effects of tapering. The energy level was so high that it was difficult to restrain them both on and off the water. We knew that Saturday would be tough for some of our oarsmen as they would have to row two heats and a final that day, and we planned very carefully for those events. Meals, travel, and rest were all programmed to the minute, and, indeed, the day went exactly as planned. The Senior Coxed Four had the first race of the day, and we had drawn the toughest of the four heats in that event. Belmont School from Boston defeated us in the heat, but we qualified for the final with the next fastest time. The straight pair, Tom Diment and Fred Thomson, were next, and could have qualified for the final had they not tangled with the marker buoys and came to a virtual halt mid-race. The Junior Four had no difficulty in their heat moving ahead in the first 500 m and extending their lead to five lengths by the finish line. These young men would have to row a final race in the Eight four hours later, and rowed well within themselves in that heat. The Senior Eight, containing the four who had rowed in the morning, had to race next, and again many different goals were at stake. Seven of the eight had finals to race, in one or two hours after the heat, and some energy had to be retained for that event. At the same time a victory in the heat could put us in a favourable lane and give us a psychological advantage the next day. The plan was to win if possible, but not at the cost of a prolonged sprint which could cause exhaustion. The crew, after a shaky start, settled to a strong 34 strokes to the minute, and took a lead by the mid-way point. Despite several challenges from St. Mary ' s College, Michigan, and Ridley ' s final sprint, we retained the lead to win the heat by a narrow margin. Finals began that Saturday evening, and our first shot at the medals would be in the Senior Heavy Coxed Four. We had drawn the less favourable lane six, and our men were not fully recovered from the Eight race one hour before. The crew knew that they could not pass the Belmont Four who had defeated us in the morning, but they had a reasonable chance at the next two spots under normal circumstances. Despite easing the load that each oarsman had to pull, they could not sustain the work level necessary to place, and had to be content with fourth place in a blanket finish with the silver and bronze. The Junior Eight was the last race of the day, and our crew were fully recovered from their previous exertions in the heats. The race was a six boat final, and many of the entries were unknown quantities. The Brentwood crew blasted off the start at a surprising 42 strokes to the minute and were still at 38 going through the 500 m marker with a commanding lead. At this point they settled down to a more comfortable cadence and drew out their lead to win by a distance of 150 m or a time interval of 22 seconds, a rout hitherto unknown on that waterway. Nine very happy young men stood on the victory platform to be greeted by their Headmaster, who, unknown to us all, had flown in that afternoon. The trophy, once the Senior Eight prize won at Brentwood in 1972 and 1974, returned for another year courtesy of our Junior crew. The stage was set for our final day of competition. To calm our nerves and relieve tension, all the crews went for a light paddle after the weigh-in and registration. There would be only one race that day for each oarsman, and there would be plenty of time to prepare for it. The Lightweight crew raced first and gave us all a great boost by edging out Upper Canada in a cliff hanger finish. The Junior Four, who had cruised so comfortably in the heats, were determined to crush their opposition in the final. They did exactly that, winning their second gold medal of that weekend by a distance of more than 100 metres. When that very large boatload of westerners stood on the victory platform, one could hear many expressions of envy from the local officials. Obviously, a group of young men with a future in this sport. The final race of the day was the Senior Heavy Eight, and once that crew had left the float for the start, we left Henley Island and drove down to the grandstand. Ridley College had been shuttling bus-loads of their students to the grandstand all afternoon and had one complete section packed with the Orange and Black. Cheerleaders wearing the colours of the Ridley Tiger led the crowd to a deafening roar. For five minutes before the start until the final gun was sounded, we could watch only the waterway. Nothing could be heard above the din. We did not have too many to shout for Brentwood, but our shell carried the good wishes and signatures of every Brentwood student wrapped in a scroll under the bowman ' s seat. The Brentwood crew got a good start and settled to a solid 36 in the body of the race. At the halfway point it was a four boat race, with all crews in close contention. As planned, we called a ten stroke burst going by the Island, and moved into a slight lead. With 300 metres to go, Raymond Attisha took the stroke rate up to 38 and we moved further ahead. At the line we had a length on Atlantic City, with Ridley College more than a canvas further back. The din died to a hush. The Brentwood boys, with their arms upraised, proclaimed themselves champions of Canada. For the first time in our history we had won the famous Calder Cleland Trophy. Appraised in 1976 at $100,000 it is the most valuable prize contested for in Canada, in either amateur or professional sport. The trophy, engraved with our names, would be returned to the Sports Hall of Fame in Toronto to be displayed there for the remainder of the year. For all those Brentwood oarsmen who had attempted to win this prize since 1976, we had vindicated ourselves. Our other attempts had netted silver medals in 1977 and 1978, and a bronze in 1979, and this, our first challenge since then, was a welcome tribute to the organization we had developed on the home front in Mill Bay. To the young men who raced in that boat and who persevered through the long hours of training, I would like to extend my personal congratulations to them. I enjoyed both the summer tour of 1981 with them and the whole year of 1982. The graduates who leave us will be missed, but they know that eager and competent replacements await in the lower grades. John Kitson was a patient, but quietly inspiring, Captain of this squad, and was given tremendous support by Mark Kushniryk, Ron MacDonald, John Greer, and Ridley Wikkerink. With such senior classmen in the shell it is easy to see why the club as a whole worked so well.

With a squad of 22 oarsmen and 3 coxs we took four golds and placed second overall in the Men ' s divison, shaking the very roots of the long-held Eastern supremacy. A superlative achievement by a remarkable group of young athletes from a tiny but highly significant School in the far West. But remember . . . they will be waitingfor us next year! J.L.

Champions Pacific North West H.S. Champions Canadian H.S. Champions Colt Rowing Colt A As these results indicate, both Colt crews enjoyed considerable success this year. The first term was spent largely on the dry dock as twelve of the squad were novices. By October the new men were ready to take to the water and were split up and sandwiched between the more experienced oarsmen. Gradually, as Winter ap- proached, their skills improved. The Winter was a disaster in terms of water time. Invariably it blew, rained, or snowed, but we took whatever time we could and ran and exercised when the water was impossible. By the time the regatta season started, both crews were rowing quite well. Certainly the results at Brentwood ' s Regatta were gratifying. The B crew deserve special praise. They were all novices and certainly were the most improved crew in the boathouse at the end of the season. Shawnigan Regatta warrents particular mention. The three Senior crews were at the Canadian Schoolboy Champs on this weekend, leaving us to contest this regatta. As well as winning all our own categories, we contested the senior events. In the Varsity 8 the A crew, boosted by John Viccars, Ken Sprague, and Dave Browett, placed third in a very close race, and a com- bination of A ' s and B ' s and all sorts of guys out of retirement came in second in the lightweight 8 . My thanks to Doug McMullen, Joel Whist, Mike Fitzpatrick, and John McNeill. It .was great to see two Grade 9 ' s, two Grade lO ' s, a Grade 11, and three Grade 12 ' s out training together for a week and it showed a super spirit. It was great experience for these junior lads. So ended a successful season. Already the 1983 Colt A squad has been on the water and looks very promising. I was pleased to award John Pulos, Thomas Larsen, and Don Zvekich their Junior Pins and wish them and the others joining the Senior crews next year every success. J.C.

This was very pleasing since they were such a small and young crew: they usually were outweighed by their opponents. The first success was at home at the Brentwood Regatta. The 8t crew defeated both Shawnigan and Hillside crews and won the Gray Trophy. The 4t crew was successful also and was able to win by a wider margin than the 8t over the same two opposing crews. The next regatta for the crews was the B.C. Youth Rowing Championship. Again the crews did very well. Both the 8t and 4t won first place. In both races they defeated Shawnigan and Hillside crews. For experience the 8t crew raced in the Colt A division. The boys faired very well against the larger crews and ended up fourth. The final regatta of the season was held at Shawnigan. As before the crews rowed well. Unfortunately, due to minor equipment problems, and two larger, more ex- perienced crews from Washington State, the boys finished third. They were, however, able to beat the Shawnigan and Hillside crews. I would like to congratulate the boys for their very good season. I would like also to wish them the best in the future. I feel that the boys have shown a very good start and can look forward to a successful future in rowing. Good luck. 4t CREW: M. McLernon, D. Dowe, C. Davis, J. Lee, Cox K. Stratton 8t CREW: I.

Cook Novice Heavy Eight A crew of young men in Grade 11 who were above the Colt age group were handed over to me once Mr. Allpress had finished with them on th e dry dock. They became the School ' s Novice Eight for the racing season, and, in ad- dition, supplied a number of oarsmen to the Senior and Junior Heavy Crews. They received too little attention from me, but despite this handicap, they had a very successful season. Their successes included a second place in Seattle and a first place at the Shawnigan Regatta. They made great improvements in rowing technique and were very competent by the end of the season. I hope this introduction to the sport will en- courage many to continue in their senior year. A.C. Can St. Catharine ' s Canadian Championships Gold Medalists Starting out with a handful of experienced rowers and a great many novices, Mrs. Garvey began a learn- to- row program in the Fall. Once or twice a week the girls would practice on the rowing machine, lift weights, or join together in a series of calisthenics. Second term brought rowing time; thus, the program expanded to its full training extent. When weather per- mitted the girls would row in eights and fours. Often the Bay was rough. This allowed the time for hill running, distance running, and weights. Third term experienced a change of coaches and a deluge of regattas. Brentwood Regatta, Pacific Northwest Championships (Seattle), Maple Bay Regatta, B.C. Youth Championships, and Shawnigan Lake Regatta filled the weekends, leaving a weekend open for Grad and a weekend to relax. The girls ' stamina and enthusiasm created winning crews from our force of eleven. Though four of these girls are graduating, the core of the remaining girls are Grade Tens. This determined core will provide potential for the next two years, as well as act as a stabilizing force on the new girls. Here I would like to insert a farewell to Mrs. Susan Garvey. She retires as Coach this year to continue with the demanding part of her life: motherhood. I know that she will be missed very much by her crews and fellow coaches. Her efforts over the years have built successful crews filled with pride and dedication. From crews present and past, I give heartfelt thanks to our Coach, Mrs.G. Varsity 8t: J. Wikkerink, B.

Robinson The ' 82 Season Listen my oarheads, I ' ll tell you the story Of the Brentwood girl rowers ' infamous glory. Our championship pair, Lois and Les, They placed in one race (Boy, what a mess!). The Novice 8 lasted for one race at Brentwood. As did the Lightweights, then Susie ' s knee bent good. Our brave skuller, Jocelyn, who raced against cows. We know she did great, but we don ' t quite know how. The Novice 4 hauled, we were quite undefeated (Except in Seattle, Boy, were we beated!). The Lightweight 4 sometimes would diet like mad. But we always made weight: whew! Were we glad! The varsity boats, our 4 and our 8 , We worked really hard and we were first rate. Mrs. Garvey and Bonnie who patiently drilled us With weights and Bay Roads and rows that just killed us. The year was a good one with losses and wins. But we can ' t wait ' til the ' 83 season begins. R. Angel Inter-House Rowing Competition The Inter-House rowing competition was held on Monday, June 14th in rather less than ideal conditions. Three divisions were contested. In the Colt Eights only Rogers and Whittall were able to boat an under-16 crew. The two-boat race was won by Rogers House by a small amount of open water. In the Senior B Eights, in which each House had to enter a crew containing at least two girls, Whittall emerged the winner in a close finish. Rogers was second, Ellis third, and Privett fourth. In the Senior A Eights, each House was able to boat a strong crew and this produced a good, well fought contest. Rogers won very narrowly over a strong Ellis boat with Whittall a close third and Privett fourth. Overall Points: 1st Rogers 30 2nd Whittall 23 3rd Ellis 14 4th Privett? J.L. Queen An Interview with Ron Abramski ByS. OSTENSOE Q: Why do you row? A: Because I like the competition and it ' s a good way to stay physically fit. Q: What ' s the worst part of rowing? A: I ' d say getting up at 5:30 a.m. and having to work your $! !off. Q: What ' s good about rowing? A: Well, it ' s new and a lot of people never knew what rowing was before coming here. I never knew how to row before. It ' s a different experience. Q: Do you consider yourself a meathook ? A: No. People can think what they want, but I ' m not a meathook. Well, I guess I am, sort of, but not really. Q: How much can you bench press? A: About 112 kg (250 lbs). Q: How tall are you? A: 5 ' 10 . Q: What ' s your favorite sport? A: I like to hammer throw. Last year I threw 41 metres. Q: What ' s your favourite movie? A: Probably Cat People. Q: Do you like Brentwood? A: Yea. It ' s sort of like a summer camp. I like the people; there are a lot of good people here. Also they make me work here in School, and I know I wouldn ' t if I was at home. Q: What do you think of girls at Brentwood? A: They ' re o.k. Q: What are you going to miss most when you leave Brentwood? A: The people mostly. Q: Give me three words to describe yourself. A: Cheerful, fun-loving, big. Q: If you had one month left in your life, what would you do with it? A: I don ' t know. I ' d probably stick around here for a week and say bye to everyone. Then I ' d go home to die with my family.

The interest in the game is reflected in the fact that 50 boys chose to play it among eleven possible sports which were offered at Brentwood this term. We hope it may not be too long before the School has two fields. At present we run four field hockey teams, but only have one field which we have to share with the track athletes. Nevertheless, we still are able to run a competitive programme for most in the group. Only a handful of students did not play in representative teams. An innovation to our season was the formation of an Under-17 league. Shawnigan, Victoria, and ourselves were the only participants, but we were glad to have another source of matches. Our Under-17 XI won the league, losing only one of the eight scheduled matches. The team was made up mainly of younger 1ST and 2ND XI players, but we also used several Grade 9 boys on oc- casions. The 1ST XI broke even in their eight matches. In the Independent Schools Tournament we were second behind a strong St. George ' s team, but had little difficulty beating Shawnigan. David Duke, who was playing his fourth season in the 1ST XI, displayed exceptionally good stick- work and dribbling ability that would suggest he has enormous potential at the senior level. He did not score as many goals as we would have liked. However, he is probably a better mid-field player than a forward because he is a better distributor of the ball than a shooter. Tim Horsley captained the team, and did an excellent job by example. He worked hard through every match, and gave the team stability in mid-field. Mike Kouritzin and Spencer Ross were experienced players in their last year at Brentwood and they gave good service to the 1ST XI . Many Grade 11 students were in the team and will ensure that next year ' s team will be a strong one. Tim Waring, Stephen Dewar, and Joel Whist earned places in the team although they were completely new to the game. Andrew Clark played with courage in goal as did his back- up, David Partington. Others who represented the 1ST XI were Leslie Philipp, Tim Brown, Mark Furneaux, Doug McMullen, Andrew Nasedkin, Don Stanley, and John Fraser. The mark of a good team is the consistency with which it stops the ball under complete control. It is especially important in defence. In all the School teams, we were not as consistent as we have hoped to be. This weakness caused errors that often led to conceding penalty corners and goals against. If some of the surfaces of the fields we play on are not particularly smooth, it becomes doubly important to practice and master the art of stopping the ball cleanly. The Under-15 XI was captained by Jaime Boan. The two losses both came at the hands of St. George ' s, and the three ties were the matches against our local rivals at Shawnigan. Several of the players were learning the game this season, and until most of them can control the ball, and distribute it at a reasonable pace with accuracy, the goals scored will not be high. The team created op- portunities, but too often failed to beat the goalkeeper. However, among the stronger players in the team skills were emerging by the end of the short season. Rolf Sick- muller, Jaime Boan, Mike Danyluik, and Don Mclnnes were particularly prominent. The House Tournament results were predictable. Privett beat Rogers in the final to prevent Rogers winning the competition for a third year in a row. Over the past twelve years Privett have been the most frequent win- ners. H.J.

The new season that opened in September left us with five proven 1ST XI players, and no assurances that we could make a strong showing at the Provincial level. We had no goalkeeper and no obvious goalscorers. Our only strength was the defensive talents of Erin Thrall, Jackie Gies, and Marty Boan. Yet, at the end of the season the 1ST XI turned out to be comparable with the team of 1980-81. It was the most extraordinarily successful team because we had not set our expectations as high as a place in the B.C. Provincial AA Tournament. In retrospect, the success is explained more easily. One reason was the wealth of talent we inherited in the Grade 10 level. Five of these younger girls held regular places in the 1ST XI: Allison McKinney became the leading goalscorer, Jocelyn Mills established herself as a very reliable goalkeeper, Jane Pike showed both skill and strength in defence, while Sarah Maxwell-Smith and Diana Cheng improved their penetration and stickwork on the wings. Another Grade 10 student, Melanie Hunter, also played several games in goal. Several other younger girls in the group made valuable contributions to the 2ND XI and Junior XI. Perhaps the key to the 1ST Xl ' s performance was the incredible improvement shown by some of the older hands. As Coach of the team I was being surprised constantly and delighted with the playing ability of Heidi Dalton, Elspeth Gilmour, Lesley Elder, Debbie Firman, and Angela Keller-Herzog. These five girls changed the team from being a good one into an outstanding one. Mt. Douglas was the top school in the Province, and we beat them on one occasion in an exhibition game. We won the Independent Schools Tournament by winning all four matches in the one-day event hosted by Brentwood. We won seven of our first eight matches of the season and conceded only one goal during that period. In the Vancouver Island Tournament Oak Bay High School (no. 2 in the Province last year) just edged us out of second place behind Mt. Doug, but, nonetheless, we easily qualified for the B.C. Provincial AA Tournament for only our second, and consecutive, year. And after wading through the waterlogged pitches of Burnaby for three days in mid-November, we came out a creditable seventh in British Columbia. Erin Thrall captained the team with a quiet, relaxed authority that helped make this a very happy and cheerful unit. The team was serious, competitive, yet never forgot that it was playing a game from which the players could gain pleasure, satisfaction, and companionship. Winning just makes the game a little more satisfying. Our invitation to the Victoria Thanksgiving Tournament was an indication that our reputation as a force in the field hockey world has grown. An invitation to a Burnaby tournament next season shows that our strength is being recognized generally in the Province. Eight of the four- teen girls who were in the 1ST XI squad will be returning next season. It is significant to note that 31 of the 32 goals were scored by girls who will be in the team next year. The future certainly looks bright. Marty Boan was selected to play for the British Columbia Under-17 Team in the Canadian Provincial Tournament in Winnipeg. B.C. won the Tournament and Marty was the leading goalscorer. She is the first Bren- twood girl to be selected for B.C. (Anne Evamy played for Alberta). Allison McKinney narrowly missed a place in the team, but will be eligible still next year. Marty, Allison, together with Sarah Maxwell-Smith and Lesley Elder, were selected to play for a junior South Vancouver Island team in a regional tournament held in Chilliwack. It is encouraging to see so many of our girls playing for representative teams. Erin Thrall has more than enough ability to play at the provincial level, but living away from her home Province of Alberta has prevented her in- volvement in such representative competition. The Junior XI entered the Central Island Tournament, but failed to win any of its three matches. Our inex- perience at this level, and the fact that the stronger junior players are involved only with the 1ST XI, mean that we struggle against the local junior secondary schools. Once again the state of our pitch was very heavy by December because of the heavy rain, and we had dif- ficulties completing the Inter-house Tournament. Out of the mud and puddles, Rogers House, a little short on talent but full of enthusiasm, came out the surprise winners. H.J. Martin Cross-Country Running Senior Cross-Country The appeal of winter running attracted more people than ever this year and we began with a group of thirty. The natural laws of attrition took their toll and half a dozen fell by the wayside by mid-term. The rigours of distance running in adverse weather are alleviated somewhat by the variation of terrain offered close to the school. Though we ran many combinations on the local forest trails we also tackled the notorious jeep road which follows the transmission line from Shawnigan to the Malahat, the stony beaches of Metchosin from Witty ' s Lagoon to Devonian Park, the wood chip trails of Oak Bay and the University, the majestic and precipitous cliff path from Whiffin Spit to Beechy Head, and the sandy beaches from Island View to Sidney. Undoubtedly the highlight of our recreational programme was the weekend spent at Tofino when we ran barefoot in the surf along the great ocean beaches of Chesterman, Wickanninish, and Schooner Cove. So successful were we in our training runs that we were able to field some very competent teams and individuals in the Independent Schools Competition and the Basil Parker Memorial Races. Perhaps ' Chariots of Fire ' in- spired us to new heights of achievement. Susan Holt, Ginny Hughes, Sarah Maxwell-Smith, and Diane Farlowe were prepared to run with the boys over the roughest terrain in the foulest weather. The advent of the portable tape recorder produced erratic pace but prolonged the efforts of Adam Heffelfinger, Mike Fitzpatrick, and Mark Williamson. The coach has not been born who can teach you to pace yourself to ' The Flight of the Bumble Bee! ' Chris McLernon and Blair Sorby were so much faster than the rest of us that they often became lost and had to find their own way home. The youngest in our group, David Medler, Torsten Nenzen, and John Derby enjoyed the dubious distinction of sharing the trail with the mighty bulk of Herman Schenck. Cameron Nicol, who grew three inches in three months found himself matching strides with Patrick Pickles and John Stubenberg. I would like to thank this fine group of young people for the many enjoyable hours we spent together and for the 180 miles of trail we shared in the depths of Winter and the glimmerings of Spring.

Senior Track and Field Girls Track and Field Under- 14 Track and Field This summer term has been a superb one from the point of view of weather, making track and field coaching and participation most pleasant. Some 40 students elected this sport for the term and spent each afternoon working on individual events followed by a fitness run . This fitness run involved a warm up, stretching exercises, followed by interval hill running and finishing with a 2-3 mile run. The entire group ' s endurance (including Mr. Stang ' s) improved significantly under this regime and the strength acquired in such training was particularly evident in competition later. In addition to athletes within the Track and Field group, others from outside were invited to practice and compete with some dramatic results and surprises. Ron Abramski, Alan Ross, and Jamie Schafer all threw very well and would have competed at a B.C. High School standard had not their successful rowing trip to St. Catharine ' s prevented them from qualifying. Next season I am certain that all three can do very well indeed. The first meet of the season was the School Inter- House competition which took place in fine sunny weather and was very close. Besides the strong performances from some recognized athletes, the depth of competition brought out some surprises too. The afternoon was one of keen competition and lively excitement culminating in a very narrow victory for Rogers House over Privett with Ellis and Whittall third and fourth respectively. The following Saturday Messrs. Stangand Burrows had the pleasant task of accompanying a team of 17 girl athletes to the B.C. Girls ' Independent Schools meet held at Vancouver College. The weather conditions were again very pleasant and all the girls competed with great team spirit in a number of events, some quite new to them. The senior team came second in the competition by a scant three points whilst a very small group of Grade lO ' s also won second place against very much larger teams from the other schools. Outstanding performances which linger in the memory were Diana Cheng ' s wins in the high jump and hurdles, Susan Holt ' s complete domination of the middle distance races, and the superb run by the senior 4x400m relay team of Elspeth Gilmour, Susan Holt, Erin Thrall, and Pam Havens. At the Island High Schools ' meet, which coincided with half-term weekend, Doug Garnett won the 400m hurdles and Susan Holt ran second in both the 3000m and 1500m races. Both qualified for the B.C. High Schools ' Cham- pionships where Susan placed 8th in both events, dramatically improving her personal best times, and Doug came fifth in his specialty. In the local junior high meet a large number of juniors were exposed to competition for the first time with a number qualifying for the Island Championship. Geoff Obadia and Jamie Puckett threw well, whilst Robyn Hyde- Lay (1500m), Leonard Barrett (100m, 200m), Diana Cheng (high jump, hurdles), and Allison McKinney ex- celled at the under-1 7 level. In the Independent Schools ' competition, held at Centennial Stadium at the University of Victoria, again athletes were invited from outside the track group with each of them giving their very best despite many having rowed on the Saturday and or having competed at the Mid-Island as well. The junior and under-14 teams were very competitive and the senior team placed second in the best overall team performance in 10 years. I would like to thank again all those who chose to compete, and especially for their positive efforts and enthusiasm. Looking back over the season, it is clear that many fine individual performers have done well and I hope they will carry on this enthusiasm into next summer. At the same time we are sorry to see the final races in school colours of Mark Williamson and David Duke. David is a superb 400 m runner in his own right who has run many excellent times unfortunately all in Mark ' s shadow. For a more complete account of Mark ' s career at Brentwood may I direct the reader ' s attention to Mr. Ford ' s article elsewhere in this Annual. Track and field is by its very nature a sport in which success relies heavily on in- dividual ambition and enthusiasm. The coachingStaff has been pleased with the popularity that track and field continues to enjoy here at Brentwood. W.J. Burrows Mark Williamson Track and Field has not been, since the dominance of rowing as our major summer sport, a great force in the Brentwood College Sports Programme. But, although we have never had the depth to win team championships, we always have met our commitments and nurtured those individuals who have shown an interest in athletics. Some have done amazingly well. Among these, the most out- standing is, without a doubt, Mark Williamson. Mark has a great natural talent, but, strange as it may seem, it might well have remained undiscovered had he not been at Brentwood. Mark has a back problem , and it would have been very easy for him to have drifted through some schools doing very little in sports. In the environment of Brentwood College it is almost impossible to escape notice, and an early indifference (reluctance is an unfair, but barely too strong, epithet) changed into a savage compe titiveness. Mark has been called by a rival coach a track animal , and this is a remarkably apposite description. Allied with great natural talent is incredible desire. To see him go for the rugby goal-line, with tacklers hanging all over him, brings the realization that this is not merely a fast runner but an intense competitor. One always felt in the 4 x 400 m relay that he was disappointed if, in the anchor leg, he were not given twenty or so yards to make up. Possibly his greatest sustained effort in a single afternoon was the 1982 Independents: he beat, in the 100 m and 200 m, Hamilton of St. George ' s (gold medallist in these events at the B.C. High Schools Championships); he also won (as expected) the 400 m, and anchored the winning 4 x400 m relay team; as if this were not enough, he came first (not expected) in the shot put. Mark ' s accomplishments are too numerous to list, but worthy of particular mention are his School Records in the 100 m (10.9), 200 m (21.9), 400 m (47.78), and Junior High jump (5 ft 11 in), which is also our open record. He won a 400 m gold medal in the B.C. High School Cham- pionships in 1980, and again in 1981 when he broke the record (48.3), anchored our silver medal winning 4 x 400 m relay team, and was named Outstanding Male Athlete of the Meet. 1981 also saw him win gold medals in the Canada Games in 400 m and 4 x 400 m relay, and a silver medal in the Canadian Men ' s Open Race. Mark has remained, in spite of all these successes, remarkably modest. Before a race he has learned the arts of gamesmanship and psyching-out , so beloved by sprinters, but those of us who know him well realize this is all an act. He is a fine team man, always eager to help and encourage those less gifted than he is. He already has an impressive record. There are many of us who shall follow, with great interest, his future career both in track and field and rugby football, in which game he holds the School record for most trys scored in a season (17) and the most trys in a 1ST XV career (31) — and all this in spite of missing many games through injury. How I regret, as a forward coach, that I never managed to have available to me that spring, that size, that desire, and that speed. What a Number Eight he would have made! I.R. Ford PLAYED - 9 ; WON - 7 ; LOST - 2 ; GOALS - FOR: 3 1 ; AGAINST: 14 Winning the B.C. Independent Schools Senior Boys Championship for the second year in a row is an im- pressive feat, and full credit should go to this year ' s team who faced an uphill battle. Our chances of repeating as title-holders seemed remote in January because we only had two survivors of the 1981 championship team — some having graduated and some having left the School in the first term. However, we successfully were able to build a defence around Gordon Bell and an attack around David Duke. Add to these two some talented individuals, some fitness, and some team spirit (emanating principally from Gordon and David ' s enthusiasm), and a good team was born. We began our games in fine style. First of all, we hammered Shawnigan 6-1 with David Duke collecting an impressive hat-trick , and then we beat the Duncan Juvenile team 3-2 in a muddy encounter. Soon we played Shawnigan again. They had no answer to David ' s sparkling runs down the right wing and we won 3-1 with a score that flattered them. A few days later we crushed a goulash of a St. Michael ' s team. Here our teamwork, our fitness, and our finesse shone through as five different players got on the scoresheet that read 7 -1 . (Naturally it was about this time of the year for the members of the Soccer Club to dominate the School X- country. As usual we won the senior and junior boys races.) It was not until the end of February that we finally faced some tough opposition. We lost a very close game 3-2 to a senior mens V.I.S.L. team from Duncan. Missed chances cost us heavily here. We then put away a Chemainus team 3-0 before travelling to St. George ' s. The game in Van- couver was our worst of the season but full credit must go to our opposition who played very well and deserved to win 3-1 . We looked lack-lustre and our passing has never been so ineffectual. The game did not help our confidence as we headed for the Independent Schools Championship the following week; it may have been more damaging to St. George ' s who approached the tournament with too much confidence. The draw for the day put St. George ' s and ourselves in one semi-final and the two weaker teams in the others. Our determined and aggressive attitude was in marked contrast to the previous week, and it surprised St. George ' s. We began with several close chances and all the pressure. It culminated in a goal from a terrific shot by Steven Dewar. But the red-shirted team fought back to tie the game. In the second half the frantic pace continued in a game that would have been a worthy final. Marshall Farris gave us a 2-1 lead wi th a solo effort, but they again responded to tie the game. It went into overtime but still no result came. And so the match was to be decided upon penalties. Here our preparation paid off. An hour of penalty practice on Thursday gave us the mental edge and we won easily on goals by Martine, Waring, and Dewar. In the final we met St. Michaels, who were vastly dif- ferent from our first meeting. With most of our energies and emotions sapped by the gruelling semi-final, the final was not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. We managed to do enough to win 3-2 with the hero being Tim Waring who scored twice (including the winner with a 40 yard shot). It especially was pleasing to see David and Gordon taste victory again. A year before and they were the young rookies ; now they were the spiritual leaders of the team. Without Gordon ' s drive and strong leadership, and David ' s inspirational play mixed with his optimistic buoyancy, the team would not have had the direction necessary to ensure victory. Gordon ' s aggressive and attacking style of play from full-back was infectiously copied by the whole team . In assessing the team ' s playing strengths one ' s eye is drawn obviously to the great skills of David Duke, Steven Dewar, and Tim Waring. Not only did they control the midfield, but they provided most of our thrust, penetration, and imaginative play in attack. However, the experienced eye would point also to the strong defence and the fine combination of Doug McMullen and Gray Thomson. Gray ' s defensive attitude is simply to attack and he dominated the middle both on the ground, and especially, in the air. Doug played as a sweeper behind Gray, filling in any holes that had been left by Gray in his sorties upfield. Sean Hugo made the change from left wing to left back very well. It took him a month to settle down but he soon became a fine defender. The two strikers alternated between M. Farris, S. Gray, D. Browett, and D. King (who also helped out in defence). They, together with the left winger David Martine, provided some good attacking punch and all scored some vital goals. Lee Croden was our goalkeeper and he proved to be a sound and safe defender. He worked hard to eliminate some elementary errors, and, by the end of the season, his technique, distribution, and concentration were very good. All that remained for the team was the annual humiliation at the hands (feet?) of the multi-talented Staff team. (When will the Staff get some decent opposition?) School Colours: Gordon Bell, David Duke Service Tie: Lee Croden, Scott Gray Junior Pin: Tim Waring, Gray Thomson Following the tragic loss of Stephen Spragge, the Soccer Club, headed by Gordon Bell, organized a raffle to raise funds for a memorial trophy dedicated to Stephen. The trophy bears the inscription Stephen Spragge Memorial Trophy. Awarded to the Senior Soccer Player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship and inspirational leadership. The trophy has been awarded to David Duke. J.B. Garvey Colt Soccer XI Under ' 16 Soccer Played 11 Won 3 Lost 5 Tied 3 Bruce Foreman led the Under-16 XI through the snow, the monsoons, and heavy mud that made our playing fields reminiscent of Flanders in 1918. Some of our tanks, such as Trevor McBride, Richard Edwards, and Richard Angus, found the strength to move forward, but found it difficult to gain enough traction to change direction. Our lighter, more skillful weapons, namely Michael Fleury, Barnaby Jung, Leslie Szamosi, and Tristan Webster, were effective players, and showed class and determination when the floods subsided. In defence, Dione Luther and Eric Thrall were towers of strength in front of the courageous rearguard action of David Partington in goal. They shall not pass , we thought, but I am afraid our record of battles won and lost indicates that the enemy was able to penetrate our defensive lines on occasions. Morgan Laycock and David Lam were strong tacklers on the ground. Our missile was David Martin, whose burst of speed would have certainly caused more panic in the enemy lines had the ground been drier. The war in the air was dominated by Bruce Foreman and Mike Schiffer. Several of Bruce ' s goals came from his ability to head the ball hard and accurately. Unfortunately, the ability of our wingers to launch goalmouth centres higher than the knees was limited. The weight of the ball doubled within ten minutes of the typical game starting, and by half-time it was heavier than Jefferson Smith! Eric Thrall ' s ability to move quickly from defence into attack was the team ' s most valuable fighting asset, and Barnaby Jung ' s never-say-die attitude typified the spirit of the team. When armistice came at the end of March every one of the team could look back on the struggle with pride, and on the handful of memories of when things were going our way. Our 5-1 defeat of Shawnigan in a snowstorm was one such happy memory. Under-15 Soccer A Team Girls Soccer Brodie ' s Bakery Oh that pastry! Brodie ' s meringues Oh what hunger pangs! Brodie ' s is where we head at the end of our season For gastronomic excesses, at least within reason. Big bites Into mocha delights And oodles and oodles Of apple strudels. To see us consume a chocolate eclair You ' d think you were watching a hibernating bear. But we need to restore the calorie in balance We spent all our energy on our soccer talents. (The girls weren ' t the only ones sampling Brodie ' s make Me too; and thanks, girls, for the lovely cake.) But less of the mocha and onto the socha Where the day ' s first adventure is opening your locha To see what new fungus is growing on your boots And to shake out the beetles. Stamp on the brutes! It ' s time to check if there ' s been any rain Could be the cross-country — yet again. Although, It might even snow. Black skies. And we jazz-exercise Oh what a laugh, given the chance, To see Mr. Garvey attempting to dance. So up to B-f ield and the practice we go Off to kick, to pant and to blow. Then to attempt those impossible drills That supposedly improve our skills. I hate heading the ball — I always get hurt Worse still, our hair gets covered in dirt. Our next line is always the catch Please Mr. Garvey can we have a match? To get on the right team is essential So as to avoid every danger potential Is there an equal chance on each side? Nay. The luck is always against Robyn Hyde-Lay. You ' ve got to have a wish of death To play against the destructor : Elspeth. Lisa ' s the same. She doesn ' t aim to maim But you ' ll end up lame, if you play her game. (Why is it that the girls who are the slimmest Tackle so fiercely yet still keep their primness?) Christine ' s another matter She prefers to chatter While, for sheer style Nothing beats Carolyn ' s apologetic smile. Bear in mind that Erin Will bedaring, tearingand raring to go. And you can be assured that it ain ' t no party To play against Debbie, Heidi, Lesley, and Marty. Beware Eleanor and Vicky, Leslie-Anne and Hilary You have to watch for their devilish trickery. For good defenders, you could pick any One of Karen, Suzy, Sophie, or Stephanie. Valsamyn, Kate, and all the rest Will be working hard to do their best. But perhaps the most amazing pair Who managed to play with real flair Whilst constantly giggling and acting spinny Were Helen duToit and Allison McKinney. One disappointment for us all was Gigi Who was supposed to arrange our tour of Fiji. And who can forget our one big tragedy When the ball hit the face of a prodigy. Naturally it was an accident, I suppose. But Angela Keller-Herzog lost her nose. Our season was one of Brentwood ' s best. The Seniors began with a tough test When they took on the Shawnigan Lake boys, Who got rattled and lost their poise. We played as well as could be But eventually lost 5 to 3 . Next we hammered St. Michaels and Chemainus, indoor, Where 4-a-side was the apparent law. The Juniors did not fare quite so well. For Sylvia, in goal, it was sheer hell! At season ' s end, there were Sports Awards to be handed out. Captain Elspeth got her colours — of that there was no doubt. And the best Junior for tackling and shooting Was Jennifer Leblond. She got her Junior pin. The last game was in sunny Victoria. We walloped St. Margarets — what euphoria! Some said What a great season it ' s been. Others replied Let ' s go to the Dairy Queen. There to see what exotic concoction Lauren will choose: Strawberry sundae? Banana-split? She gives no clues. But the team does not linger. It ' s across to Brodie ' s to finger The chocolate icing on the gateaux Despite the fattening problems it may pose. Then we ' re off to pack our boots and gear And to start saving up for Brodie ' s, next year. J. Garvey Senior Boys Basketball Tell me no secrets, tell me no lies, Give me no reasons — give me alibis. The season of basketball at Brentwood was charac- terized by astonishing early successes and disheartening failure at the end. However, it would be all too easy to write this team off as an enigma which won when it was not expected to and lost when it should have been reaching peak performance. Certainly, Brentwood teams traditionally have had difficulty early, because our basketball program starts long after our competition has refined the skills and steadied the nerves of their players in pre-Christmas tournaments and exhibition games. Nevertheless, we managed to jump on our opponents in January, winning our first four league games and am- bushing highly touted teams from Shawnigan and Gulf Islands in the process. These games were won mainly because we had some players with raw talent who worked extremely hard and others with more experience, such as Ken Sprague (our Captain) and John Greer, who had not yet found out what it was like to miss a shot Then, in the third quarter at Gulf Islands with a seventeen point lead, the bubble burst. When the hometown referee swallowed his whistle and the op- position got hot, our fellows found out what real pressure was all about. A two point loss in that game was a stun- ning blow that the team did not have time to recover from. Granted, there were other successes: winning the Ladysmith Tournament (where they played superbly, blowing out a double A team from Ballenas in one game 79-32). However, the experience of losing a tight game is not easily forgotten, and often in subsequent games the confidence was lacking when the score was close. Out of twenty games this year (in the league, exhibition, and tournament) Brentwood lost eleven games. Nine of those losses were by a total of 35 points: an average of under two baskets a game! This team was competitive, but it lacked one ingredient: the experience gained from playing in many more games against good competition under pressure. We were flattered because we ranked in the top ten in B.C., but the Island Championships showed that consistency, discipline, composure, and luck are necessary to make a good team a successful team. I would like to thank the graduating players (Kevin Tokarsky, Peter Attisha, Mark Kushniryk, John Greer, Anthony Ghitter, Ken Sprague, and Manager Bruce Abel) for their service to the Club. One of them, Keven Tokarsky (a suberb ballhandler and intense competitor) has i represented the School for four years. Kushniryk, on the j other hand, played only part of two seasons because of ' injuries, so we only saw flashes of the inspirational play of which he was capable. A special thanks goes to our leading scorer. Ken Sprague, whose sportsmanship and leadership have been beyond question and have con- tributed to the reputation of our School. Looking to the future, it is difficult to suppress ex- citement over our prospects. Returning are enormous centers, Allan Ross and Jamie Schafer, hardworking ! guards, Mike Baldock and Tom Diment, as well as two extremely talented scorers at forward, Rohan Lyal and Raymond Attisha. Once again, only time and game ex- perience can make them an excellent team, but we cer- tainly shall approach next year with energy and optimism. Record: WON - 9; LOST - 11; POINTS — FOR: 1267: AGAINST: 1158 Tied for League Championship with 5-1 record in Mid- Island. Qualified for Island Single A Championship. Honorable mention to B.C. Top 10 in Senior A . Ken Sprague and John Greer received All-Star recognition as Brentwood won the Ladysmith Dr. Dunk Tournament. S. Cowie , ■ Junior Boys Basketball Senior Girls Basketball Although the Girls Basketball Team was limited in number by having only eight players, it certainly was not limited in terms of talent and enthusiasm. Early in the season the team, captained by Kathey Bryan, travelled to Tacoma, Washington to be hosted by Annie Wright schools. The ensuing basketball game played between the two Schools resulted in a Brentwood victory. Two weeks later this same team was hosted and accommodated by Brentwood for a return match. Here again, our team was victorious. Later in the season the girls participated in the Independent Schools ' Basketball Tournament hosted by St. Margaret ' s School in Victoria. The competition in the tournament was intensified by the participation of Strath- cona Tweedsmuir School from Calgary. Through sheer determination and skill Brentwood captured the tour-, nament trophy for the third consecutive year and was undefeated throughout the tournament. As a result of being undefeated during regular season play, the Girls Basketball Team are holders of the Mid- Island Senior Girls Basketball trophy. A special thanks to Leslie Carmichael for assisting both myself and the team in the capacity of team manager. Coaching such a dedicated team was both enjoyable and rewarding due to the efforts and enthusiasm put forward by the individual team members. M.Stang Senior Boys Tennis At the start of the School year the Senior Boys Tennis Team seemed as if it was a shoe-in for a second straight Independent Schools ' trophy. However, because of other commitments, this never materialized. With four or five of the top players out, younger players began to fill the ranks. Our tournament success, as far as victories were concerned, was limited. Although we had a very inex- perienced team, with only two Grade 12 students among the top six tournament players, we came within one match of defeating Shawnigan and a very powerful St. George ' s Team. The younger players, led by Jaime Gib- son, with Mike Levy, Markus Gruene, and Mark Chan in support, put on a tremendous showingagainst their older and more experienced counterparts. The overall team play improved enormously over the term under the careful guidance of our coach, Mr. Knuth. His tennis knowledge and experience were invaluable to every member of the team. Many thanks should go to Mr. Knuth as he was a fine coach in all respects. With most of the team returning next year, it should be a strong team after having gained some valuable ex- perience this year. I have had an enjoyable year as Team Captain, and wish the best of luck to those returning to the tennis team next year. M . Lebow Junior Boys Tennis Following the tryouts for this popular sport, Mr. Maclean was left with thirteen hard core winners, most of whom knew the difference between the continental and eastern backhand grip. After a warm up with Nanaimo, the team swept to the Independent Schools Association Championship. The depth of our team was its outstanding feature; other schools might match us through the first three or four places, but we were always a team, whereas our op- ponents equally were a collection of individuals. Our other strength was experience: we had a solid group of Grade lO ' s to whom we must now say good-bye and thank you. Bruce Foreman — Captain. Leslie Szamosi — Porter Cup winner. John Pulos Murray White David Lam Dione Luther R. Maclean Senior Girls Tennis This would have to be termed a building year for the Girls Tennis Team. We had 13 girls playing, all at or near the intermediate level, and although we did not place well at the Independent Schools Tournament, we were complimented on our sportsmanship. Polly Reitze was our singles player. She came up against some strong com- petition and played well. Our A doubles team was Kathy Staples and Helen duToit, and our B team, which tied for third place, was Pam Groberman and Heidi Dalton. Other members of the Girls team this year were Kathey Bryan, Debbie Firman, Ginny Hughes, Marika Masuak, Kathleen Mouat, Jane Pike, Valsamyn Ross, and Erin Thrall. Next year we plan to play more Inter-School matches before the tournament schedule. I thank all members of the team for their cheerful co- operation. Liz Tuck Intermediate Tennis Intermediate Tennis was introduced at Brentwood this year in an effort to cater to the large number of students wishing to participate in the sport. Thus, in a break with tradition, those students in the group classified as in- sufficiently skilled for a team place but far too good for a beginners class were not immediately exiled to the wastes of the Softball field but given an opportunity for court time. The Intermediates, then, composed of separate Senior Boys, Junior Boys and Girls groups, were rotated bet- ween two separate locations and around three separate time blocks, a logistical exercise that seldom defeated the creator but almost always Elspeth Gilmour and Lisa Palfy. Skill and Drill sessions were held on the Kerry Park Courts, a distance of approximately 2.4 km. from the School; a distance which, incidentally, seemed to increase daily and was POSITIVELY further on return journeys. Great ingenuity was shown by all in methods of tran- sportation. Besides the straightforward pleasant af- ternoon stroll employed by the majority, there were a few ' bicycle freaks ' , the odd jogger, Gordie Bell on his skateboard, a highly unsuccessful attempt to ride three on one bike by Christine Dutton, Suzy Ostensoe and the coach, and skillful planning by Craig Wilkinson who always appeared in a prominent position as the coach drove by. As the courts were set in the middle of the B.C. forest, great fun was had by all in crashing through the jungle once the balls flew over the fence. (Great care was taken to segregate the sexes in these expeditions into the bushes.) We now know that Richard Edwards has a phobia about snakes, and Robert Mountfort is a thwarted big game hunter, as evidenced by his repeated liberation of various rodents and reptiles from their natural habitat. A great deal of progress was made by members of the group in improving their individual games. By the end of the year Morgan Laycock and Glen Mattice had become proficient in the volley at the net, Bruno Delesalle and Kevin Tokarsky had developed an excellent forehand, and ' Allison McKinney, along with James Quinn, perfected their overhead smash. Lauren Superstein spent hours working on the serve, John Holt perfected a top-spin better than a Glaswegian ' s head on a Saturday night, and Tim Lyons took the first steps on the road from amateur to professional by challenging the coach to a game with a bag of chips as first prize. Ben Butterfield proved that the spoken word is mightier than the tennis racquet, and Joel Finkelstein unnerved quite a few opponents with his powerful serve. Although there were no formal matches against other schools, the group took part in two competitions: a rotating doubles tournament with Poul Bay, Allison McKinney, and John Derby, winning their respective divisions; and an elimination knockout with Allison McKinney and Craig Wilkinson victorious. Given the somewhat daunting conditions faced by this group, it was a pleasure to see such enthusiasm displayed | and an abundance of individual desire to improve. T. Crossley Volleyball The Girls Volleyball Team, captained by Pam Groberman, opened its season by competing in the Independent Schools ' Volleyball Tournament hosted by Crofton House and York House Schools in Vancouver. During the early rounds of play, Brentwood encountered little difficulty in accumulating tournament points. The end of the tournament resulted in Brentwood and Crofton House having to play a two game timed final which would determine the tournament champion. In the second game with Brentwood leading 14 to 13, time expired giving the girls first place in the tournament. Kathey Bryan ' s ex- cellent performance throughout the tournament earned her the distinction of being the tournament ' s most valuable player. Throughout regular season play in the Mid-Island Division the Volleyball Team was undefeated. At the close of the season the team participated in the Mid-Island Volleyball Tournament hosted by Lake Cowichan Senior High School. Brentwood dominated play throughout the tournament securing the trophy and the title of Mid- Island Champions. The South Island Volleyball Tournament was hosted by Reynolds Secondary School in Victoria. Here, the caliber of play was of an extremely aggressive nature resulting in long rallies and equally long games. Brentwood completed its volleyball season by finishingfourth in the South Island Division. It was with enjoyment and satisfaction that I had the opportunity to coach such an enthusiastic and unified team. M.Stang Golf After five years in the Brentwood Golf group, George Payne finally established himself as the best golfer in the School. Besides being our top competitor in all three external tournaments, he won the Rob Soukop Memorial Golf Tournament which is symbolic of the School cham- pionship. The competition is played over 36 holes, and, in a close finish, George beat Ken Sprague by two shots and Mike Splatt (last year ' s winner) by three. This Tournament seems to bring out the best in George. Three years ago he holed out a 175 yard approach shot on the 10th hole. This year he capped a birdie on the 8th by knocking down his 150 yard approach shot on the par 49th to get an eagle 2. That shot proved to be a match winner. The School team of George, Ken, Mike, and Mike Baldock competed favourably in the external tour- naments. After a tune-up in a Port Alberni Invitational, they went to the North Vancouver Island Qualifying Tournament at Eaglecrest, Qualicum. There they suc- cessfully qualified and went on to the Island Finals in Victoria. We finished 7th out of the 10 teams there, having enjoyed, but not tamed, the difficult Gorge Vale course. The rest of the group concentrated on improving their scores, their swings, and their handicaps. Some were very successful, some were not. But all the boys had some good fun and gained much valuable playing experience. GROUP: G. Payne, K. Sprague, M. Splatt, M. Baldock, B. Elder, K. Creighton, M. Fitzpatrick, A. Hardie, D.

It was pleasing to have some of the old dedicated members rejoin this hardworking group of young athletes, such as Maurie Feldberg, Andrew Rahme, Malcolm Smith, Brad Wintrup, Jason Leslie, Torsten Nenzen, and Trevor Johnson. New members are David Martine, Jason Garland, Ian Thompson, Pat Liddle, and Charles Boas. All are working well. As this write-up meets the press deadline, the group has cycled over 400 miles of local countryside, such as Victoria over the Malahat and via Brentwood ferry home. Many rides were necessary around Shawnigan Lake in preparation for the annual Tour du Lac , in which Brentwood placed second of eight schools entered, with approximately 70 riders competing. Our top cyclist was Jason Leslie who placed third. Well done, Jason! Others placing were Torsten Nenzen 9th, Malcolm Smith 10th, Brad Wintrup 11th, Andrew Rahme 13th, and Maurie Feldberg 14th. Our team worked hard, and gave a fine account of themselves in this race. Our most pleasant ride to date has been to Crofton on the ferry to Vesuvius on Salt Spring Island, then on to Fulford Harbour on the southwest tip of Salt Spring, ferry over to Swartz Bay, then cycling the country back road to Brentwood Bay ferry, back to the Island and home — 62 miles of tough but fun riding and good company! The Victoria ride has been very nice, coupled with taking in the Marine Drive along the seawall and enjoying a Big Mac before heading to Brentwood Bay ferry and home. Cycling is a great sport, especially when one is favored with the co-operative, pleasant group with which I have had the privilege of working. The team wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Feldberg for their support of the team at the Tour du Lac over the past three years. Thanks also for the social gathering they have given the team at their home each year. The beautifully decorated cake and ice cream were most enjoyable. To my Cycling Group I wish a very happy summer vacation. R.G. Pitt Aquatics Our first term in Aquatics was excellent, with eighty awards presented in Royal Lifesaving. The second term was spent in the classroom instructing Junior and Senior Resuscitation and First Aid. Sixty students achieved their awards. The third term we offered, for the first time, an Instructors course; nine students participated and we now are waiting for the results. Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross classes were held to a successful con- clusion. Fitness swimming and water exercises were very popular on Sports Day. In all levels of Lifesaving and First Aid the Aquatic programme was very successful. D.D. Pitt Scuba Twelve students enrolled in the Scuba course this year; of these three were young ladies. Two advanced divers also were active with this group. All candidates suc- cessfully concluded the course, except three: medical reasons impeded their final practical dives. These can- didates will arrange with qualified instructors over their summer vacation to conclude their final dives. Mr. Shane Muldrew, an old Brentonian, was the course Instructor. He stated how impressed he was with the aquatic ability of his students. The prerequisite for all Brentwood candidates takingthis very challenging course is the Royal Lifesaving Bronze Medallion Award. This standard is the ideal level to have prior to this course, observed Mr. Muldrew, due to the student knowledge and lifesaving ability. All practical teaching was held in the Brentwood pool prior to the several sea dives in the Brentwood area and Sydney waterfront. Mrs. Pitt con- tributed valuable endurance trainingeach Saturday. This marks the twelfth such course conducted suc- cessfully in Brentwood College. We all wish our new divers happy diving. R. Pitt Ice Hockey ' Tis the season, and there our fearless leader, Ken McAlpine, stands rounding up new recruits for the Curling Team. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday af- ternoons we all were out on the ice full of enthusiasm. Our Girls Team, consisting of D.A. Mathieson, Marika Masuak, Kendra McKennon, and Shelly McAlpine, were ready again to enter into the South Vancouver Island playdowns. The competition was tough and we had some really close, exciting games, but, unfortunately, we did not do as well as we had anticipated. In the Winter term about thirty students signed up, some who had never seen a rock or held a curling broom before. Now, with the eight teams we needed, all were ready and had one common goal in mind: the first place trophy and the promise of a winners dinner. Soon rapid improvements were seen, and excellent team spirit made this year into one of the best curling seasons ever. In the end it all came down to the battle between the teams of Glen The Skip Mattice and Fred The Skip Wikkerink. The game was close, but Fred ' s team, with Andrew Hardie, Markus Gruene, and Tom Parlby, came out in first place. And I believe the Fred Wikkerink rink enjoyed a hearty feast of Chinese food for dinner from Ken. All of us would like to extend our thanks to Ken for making this year one of the best years of curling. D.A. Mathieson Sailing There ' s a place for you in the Navy — on board the ' General Belgrano. ' Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace. . . And what rough beast is this, its hour come round at last. That slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? The ravings of a madman? Possibly. Rumour has it that he volunteered for service in the Falklands, on either side, rather than face beginner ' s sailing yet again. No prizes for guessing this coach ' s name! Two new awards go to this group for 1982: the first is the Alevras Award for international mayhem given to that sailor who comes closest to drowning the largest number of foreign visitors; the second is the Boothroyd Award available to any sailor, anywhere in the world, who can sail towindward using spinnaker only. The Advanced group, euphemistically named, was not exactly crammed with normal sailing talent either. Abnormalities flourished: the Nicol Nosedive, a capsize in a flat calm; the Ross Roundabout, a collision on every turn; the Mathieson Memory, donating sails toSquamish; the Cottam Cotillion, sailing sideways. The team mem- bers, enticed down out of the trees by the prospect of getting away from School for regattas, were herded, grunting and scratching, on board our six Lasers in mid September, and after a brief spate of mast-climbing in search of bananas, got down to the sophisticated task of distinguishing the sharp from the blunt end. Charles Darwin, viewing this group, would have un- doubtedly given an estimate of 40,000 years as a minimum requirement before they could stand erect and shed their fangs. But by some quantum evolutionary leap, unparalleled since Genesis, their prehensile grasp orr tiller, mainsheet, and hiking strap became second nature, possibly a simple sublimation for, or transference from, swinging from branch to branch. Eventually we gave them names: the largest, most savage and noisy we called Marcus Rockliff; others were Jamie Delmotte, Andrew Clark, Don Mathieson, Drew Ross, John Fraser, David Partington, Cameron Nicol. Conflicts with training in chanting and tribal warfare (rugby) prevented the team from being unleashed on an unsuspecting sailing world until the second term. A series of local regattas culminated in a competition, appropriately named the Brass Monkey , which was held on a howling gale that retired all but five of the forty- two competitors. Marcus, being one of the five, earned the right to attend the B.C. Youth Clinic and to represent the Island in the B.C. summer games. Summer brought encounters with other roving groups of Simians, brought here by their keepers, resulting in convincing victories in the Independent Schools Regatta and the Roger ' s Cup, an annual challenge match against Shawnigan Lake School. A reasonable performance in the Provincial Cham- pionships has prompted us to send three of the team, Marcus, Andrew, and Drew, gibbering and leaping off to the Canadian Nationals in Victoria, but as these are yet to come, their keeper cannot report, as yet, on the result. Two of the tribe are leaving this year, permanently out of the trees, walking erect and learning to wear clothes. Literacy is just around the corner. In this giant evolutionary stride we send our best wishes with our Captain, Marcus Rockliff, and a longtime member of the Club, Poul Bay. V. Lironi Aviation This year, in our spare time, three of us decided to tackle mystifying aeronautical problems, controvertible meteorological charts, and problematical in-flight calculations. It was fun. By the end of the year, George Payne completed his solo cross-country , John Holt received his private pilot ' s license, and Fred Wallis, the star, left with his commercial flight test, private pilot ' s license, night endorsement, and instrument training. Clearly, the year ' s flying was more than successful. The high point of the year was the Chilliwack Fly-in and Airshow which we took part in. We flew to Chilliwack in the morning (Fred won the youngest pilot award), and enjoyed a terrific all-day airshow. Other activities in- cluded spiral dives over Duncan, simulated crash lan- dings over Shawnigan Lake, and skimming tree tops on the summit of Mt. Prevost. In retrospect, it was a fan- tastic year, and we hope to see the aviation program continue at Brentwood. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the Staff for allowing us time off to cruise the airways.

Hi You have to punch your kayak through the white stuff before you can enjoy the green fun beyond. Getting out beyond the breakers is equivalent in the battering of the body to 10 rounds with Cassius Clay, the ex-Olympic champion. Riding in on a wave is exhilarating, wild, crazy. Sometimes you get dumped, rolled end-over-end, buried i under a couple of tons of water, to be spewed out later j like a drowned rat Jonah. Then you have to work against i the current to get self, kayak, and paddle to shore together, readyfor another round. It ' s fun! Spingate Drama Club Were I to say, in the words of the trade, that we had been resting this year, I would not wish any reader to infer that the Drama Club was in any way moribund. Quite the reverse: we are alive, well, living in Mill Bay, and the above remark is meant to indicate nothing more than the fact that no vehicle on which we have worked this year has been brought to that degree of fine polish which we believe is mandatory before inviting an audience. Naturally, we were extremely sorry to abort our major production of DIAL M FOR MURDER, but in retrospect I am confident that this was the correct, if not the courageous, thing to do, even though it denied three senior acting students, Matthew Mallon, John Holt, and Lauren Superstein, a chance to test their skills in the mystery and thriller genre. Our first term was pleasantly and profitably occupied with skill-training sessions, mostly for the actor, but also with some elementary preparation for the director ' s very different viewpoint upon the stage picture. Beneath these sessions, mundane as they often were, always lay the philosophic intent of training a theatre attitude , by presenting to young folk a certain image of the theatre, one not based on caprice or spurious stellar qualities, but rather upon the mastering and constant polishing of basic techniques so that, as near as possible our theatre can truly become the brief and abstract chronicle of our time. The second term highlighted workshop productions of well-known Shakespearean scenes under the direction of the Acting 12 candidates. I was most gratified by the more than worthy attempts of many class-members to speak blank-verse without bruising either the meaning or the lyrical energy of the line. Lauren Superstein again proved to be most adept in moving characters around a stage with ease and naturalness, while a newcomer, Kevin Hare, chewed his way through a most splenetic Caius Cassius in the tent scene from Julius Caesar. During this final term the junior group has been rehearsing Act III of Thornton Wilder ' s OUR TOWN, whilst, for a complete change of pace, the seniors have been tackling THE EXPRESS by a Quebec playwright, Mr. R.M. Reilley. This latter, a slight but witty theatre game, has far more ingenuity, particularly of language, to recommend it than has been recognized by the students. It is an unpretentious piece, abrupt yet subtle, fortunately forbidding any actor to fall back upon those cliche emotional patterns to which most youthful actors fall prey. Its terse language forges ahead relentlessly in almost Alice-in-Wonderland fashion; a kind of inspired idiocy. I have been particularly impressed by John Holt and Paul Gladman in their readings of Abel, by David Goldberg ' s Tom, (echoes of the Duke of Plaza Torra, notwithstanding!), and by Lauren Superstein ' s most original attack upon Mary. We are well able to complete both this piece and OUR TOWN next term, so the School should be offered some light entertainment at Christmas 1982. May I express our sincere thanks and good wishes to those members of the Club who graduate in June, par- ticularly those who were honoured with major awards. You have served modestly, faithfully, and promisingly. Do not desert the theatre, even if your presence be only that of an audience member, for it will bring the delight, both of emperor and clown , to your adult lives. T.G. Bunch Gondoliers Although it was nice to see that there were some old Brentonians at the latest production of The Gondoliers, it seemed to me a pity that the event obviously is not looked upon yet as another Old Brentonians ' Day on a level with our November celebration. For those who had been in the previous production it would have been a particularly interesting, even nostalgic, event. If the nostalgia had been just a trifle tinged with envy, that too would have been understandable, not perhaps so much for any superiority in voice or acting ability among the students, but rather because Messrs Queen and Cooper, having done the production before, knew exactly where and how to improve it this time around. It was obvious, for example, right from the opening curtain, that the chorus had been brought completely under control. In the performance that I saw there was not one loose button, dropped hat, late entry, or awkward stumble, despite the fact that cartwheels and dance numbers were included. The introduction of proper choreography, courtesy of Mrs. Maclean, was im- mediately evident and added a true touch of professionalism to the performance. The stage sets, very tastefully designed by John Sargeant and Daphne Jackson, were evocative rather than elaborate, and this wise decision gave ample room for a cast of fifty-three to operate on a comparatively small stage. Of that cast of fifty-three, seventeen were principals and it is a further tribute to Messrs Queen and Cooper that they were able to obtain such a uniformly high standard of performance from students who, with one or two notable exceptions, had no more than average ability. I cannot close without mentioning the costumes. Those of the principals in Act II were simply stunning and the colour photographs that John Sargeant took of the production are strongly reminiscent of Renaissance paintings. Mrs. Carr, whose name, year after year, heads the wardrobe list, is to be congratulated on bringing a new dimension of excellence to a Brentwood College School production. The final Sunday performance was a theatre-dinner affair that was a resounding success, thanks to the convener Mr. Chris Reid and those extremely generous friends of the School who donated the turkeys and the wines. To all who acted, played, or worked behind the scenes, over one hundred and twenty-five of you, a resounding Well done! Diogenes Dance Group Before I begin my review I would like to take a little time to reflect on just what dance is: the oldest art form — the mother or germinal form, if you like. Music came as an accompaniment to dance and song as a punctuation and comment. Ritual masks and costumes, which are the beginning of theatrical impersonation, were used first in dance ceremonies. The theatre is rooted in, and grew out of, ritual masked dancing. Thus, before man can do anything, he must draw breath — he must move. Movement is the source and condition of life. Dance differs from all other exercise. I bring this up because I feel that in a School like ours this is an important anomaly. Sports require skill, co-ordination, and strength. So does dance, but this is not dance when their real meaning lies in practical results. Dance moves and excites us; it compels and persuades us. It reveals all aspects of life and human emotion! Dance is a growing phenomenon, not only at Brent- wood College but universally. In the United States alone last year the box office takings were the highest in the dance world. Surely this must tell us something: that more and more people are looking forward to dance and recognizing it as an important Art form. The Dance programme at Brentwood grows year by year. The student population involved in dance number 50 this year. And I feel that our rugby players and rowers must feel some benefit towards their major sport if they take part in some serious dance limbering exercises. Dance is becoming an integral part of training for pro- football and ice hockey players, but to name a few. Our first term was taken up mainly with syllabus work and general technique and group studies. We would like to have more time to devote to perfection but then who wouldn ' t! The second term saw some of us working in dances for the Gondoliers. These dance numbers proved to be great fun. The second half of the term was devoted to rehearsals for a dance display to be performed at the end of term. This went off very smoothly — students sharing their own choreographed works. This has become an annual occurrence and I feel a very worthwhile one. Many young Canadians, because of the lie of the land, do not seem to have the opportunities to see the visual arts. The group had three theatre outings, one of which left us with mixed feelings — Dance Makers of Toronto. Les | Ballets Jazz from Montreal left us all spellbound, as did the Philadelphia Dance Company. ; We are all most delighted that the Creative Dance | programme has been accepted by the University of | Alberta as a credit-carrying course for those students who wish to attend that University. The third term started out with a new venture — A Day of Dance for local school children. Eighty attended in all and took part in a two hour work shop given by me with student help, followed by a display of work by the group. This proved to be very successful and we hope to repeat this on a much larger scale next year. I have found the group very supportive and en- thusiastic this year. The Grade 12 ' s, although heavily committed in other areas, have been abounding with new and exciting ideas, producing some very aesthetic work. I have been very excited about their choreography and hopefully will have this on videotape for future students to see. I would like to take this opportunity of wishing them well and hoping that they will continue to dance. Another year has whisked by at Brentwood. The years seem to have a habit of doing that, and on reflection, this has been a good, happy, and very busy one. I do hope, however, that we can create a little more breathing space for ourselves next year. After all, out of the trinity of elemental powers from which the realm of dance comes, Time, Strength, and Space, it is space which is the realm of the dancer ' s real activity which belongs to him because he creates it. And, as a final thought, Not an insight of head or intellect only, but the total feeling of body and mind organism. J. Maclean This year we welcomed M r. Gordon Curtis to the School to take charge of the Junior and Intermediate Bands. Mr. Curtis had played in the orchestra for Guys and Dolls, and was known to quite a few of the student body. The Senior group, under my baleful eye, began taking shape by mid-October and we had a strong represen- tation in all sections. John Lee, on his electric bass, must be congratulated for his efforts in the depths of the bass clef since we had no tuba players this year. Our delightful gurgling old sousaphone was redundant for the first time in its history. We joined the Choir for the Carol Concert, and in January a Stage Band was organized for the first time. This was enormous fun, and with Twinkledigit Ford on the ivorys we had our first performance in May at the In School Concert. This effort brought many favourable comments from various quarters and is something worth continuing with next year. The Concert Band tackled the very challenging Romeo and Juliet overture-fantasy which proved that clarinets cannot fully compensate for lack of strings. However, in the fight sequence our brass and percussion were more than equal to the task!!! Quite a number of the group will be graduating this year. To them goes my sincere thanks and appreciation for having made the Band so much fun and such an en- joyable experience. R.G. Cooper Forty students were accepted into the Choral Program this year and it soon became evident that, with plenty of work in the areas of correct breathing techniques, posture and tone control, a fairly acceptable standard of choral singing might be achieved. Most of the Choir were involved also in the production of The Gondoliers, and the extra rehearsals soon began to reflect in the progress of the sound we were beginning to make. Our first performance as a choir took place at the Brentwood Memorial Service, and then preparations were made for the Christmas Carol Service. A delightful four-part version of The Huron Carol, based on a Huron Indian poem, was a satisfying performance and certainly a well-balanced and secure ensemble seemed to be in the making. Sometimes intonation in this unaccompanied piece gave us something to worry about, but at the Service itself everything seemed to work well. After Christmas we embarked upon our Concert program with such golden oldies as Moon River and a selection of other numbers in the same genre. Several Bach compositions and a Haydn were included to balance the program, which most of us enjoyed and had fun performingatour In School Concert on May 19th. This was a warm up for our two major concerts the following day at Shaugnessy Hospital and The Four Seasons Hotel. Without doubt the Hotel concert had that something special which gave us all such a satisfying thrill that we will remember for a long time. It was a fitting conclusion to a year of transition and a hardworking ensemble which deserve my sincere congratulations and well-deserved thanks. R.G. Cooper Pottery and Sculpture One day, when I say don ' t pick up anything by the handle before it has been glaze-fired, every single person will heed me. In a whole year I shall have no one come to me with a handle in one hand and a mug in the other and a look of despair. One day we will have in- dividual storage space so that I do not need to lecture constantly on the importance of respecting other people ' s work. As you can see, sometimes I cannot see the woods for the trees, or the results for the problems, and then someone comes in from outside and shows a very positive reaction to all that is going on and I step back and look again with new eyes and feel good about it all. We did very well in the Duncan Arts Fair, takingthetwo major prizes in the Under-18 category by a comfortable margin. Harry Worsley won the Throwing section of the competition with a tall, elegant lidded jar, and Hilary Denny won the Handbuilding competition with her magnificent elephant. We had our annual Grade 12 visit to a potter, in this case, Art Brendon in Langford, followed by the usual dinner at the Keg. Art showed the students his technique of spraying on glazes with an airbrush which was received enthusiastically. But each year separates itself from another by the more human aspects of that year: by the pieces of work that stand out, and the characters and the humorous or sad moments. 1982 stands out in my mind as the year of Joel ' s zoot, a creature of tusks and eyes and armour, an armadillo-cum-rhinoceros-cum-Tolkien creature; of Ben ' s blimp with its tiny coloured biplanes; of Bruno ' s bird- baths; of Don Mathieson ' s multi-necked, snake-headed coil-pot; of David Lam ' s beautiful brushwork on bowls; the year of Harry ' s jar and Hilary ' s elephant. 1982 is the year of Gordon and Debbie working all those extra hours on the weekend and doing all the firing throughout the year; the year of Joel wearing a different hat every day; of Wally, babysitting the kiln and sunbathing at the same time; the year that Sarah lost another piece of her mobile every day! H. Smith Art Our Art programme has had a most successful and busy year. Earlier in the year a number of students en- tered the Ministry of Education ' s Christmas Card Con- test. Out of six hundred entries from around the entire Province, Chris Scott-Kerr took second, winning $200 for himself, plus an additional $200 credit for the School Art Department. Much time and energy was spent on the elegant sets of Gondoliers, which were designed and painted by Mrs. Jackson and Art volunteers. In the Spring term several Art students attended the opening of the Cowichan Spring Arts Fair held at the Community Center in Duncan. Brentonian entries cap- tured fourteen out of twenty possible awards in the drawing, painting, and printmaking categories. The Grade Twelve students enjoyed a break when Mrs. Jackson had a barbecue at her house. The Art Department can look back on an enjoyable, prosperous year. Many thanks to Mrs. Jackson for her efforts and patience. Congratulations to all winners, and an honourable mention to Doug Lennie whose expert janitorial skills kept the Art room in immaculate shape! H. Denny I Jeffrey Philipp Debating For those of us who enjoy, and benefit from, defending our ideas in a public forum, there were many good memories from 1981-82. Here are two of them. In January, on a sunny Saturday, the students of Lester Pearson College of the Pacific hosted the Island Cham- pionships. Everybody was invigorated by the beauty of the campus and by the supportive friendliness of the Pearson students. Late in the afternoon, I was hurrying down to the tabulation centre where I would learn that Leslie Szamosi was the Island ' s top junior debater and that our four person team of Diane Farlowe Angela Keller- Herzog Don Stanley Ken Creighton had swept the competition by finishing second, third, fifth and seventh out of 60 students. The final debate was building to a rousing climax. Competitors, students, and guests were being drawn toward this debate. The sliding glass doors in the room of the debate suddenly opened and the room immediately was choked with avid listeners. The last point was expounded and spontaneous applause resounded through the packed room. The listeners now became animated as they streamed through the glass doors excitedly discussing the debate in small groups. That was a good memory of what debate can be. Here is another one. The Provincial Debating Tournament brought together the best 150 speakers from B.C., including six Brentwood | students. The site of this tournament was a small town ! next to Chilliwack called Sardis. Upon our arrival it became clear that this town rgarded this Debating Tournament as something very special. From the gas jockey at the local Esso to the Mayor at the Awards Banquet, the whole town proclaimed their support and | offered their unbelievable hospitality. I wish to thank those Brentonians who proclaimed their support for Debating in 1981 - 1982. You can take heart from the fact that whole schools and whole towns share your interest. R. MacLean Creative Photography Group Cre-a-tive (Adj.): Havingor showing imagination and artistic inven- tiveness (Webster). This definition leaves the field wide open, and in creative photography, that is precisely the point. Students are encouraged to explore the limits of their creativity and to push beyond them. Forty students engaged themselves in this process this year and the results were beyond expectations. On the following pages you can see for yourself. Please see carefully. Congratulations to: D. Firman — Senior Photography Award D. Kingand B. Delesalle — Joint winners of Beginner ' s Photography Award D. Keevil I I Cameron Groves I I Adam Heffelfin Trine Whist Debbie Firman Debbie Firman David King I David Browett Cameron Groves Michael Lebow Christian Fellowship This year v e alter nated our meetings between Mr. Wynne ' s home south of Duncan and Mr. Reid ' s residence on the campus. This system worked quite well and the changing venue fitted in well with the wide variety of topics we discussed and had presented to us by a number of speakers. Numbers attending meetings varied from a dozen to over three dozen depending on the conflicting commitments. There was a faithful core group who never missed a meeting and provided a steady input into the organization. In this regard the contribution of Fred Wallis, John Holt, Skip Barrett, and Tim Lyons cannot be overemphasized. We shall miss our graduates next term but we are fortunate that so many younger students have shown a lively interest in spiritual affairs. Rob and Karen Stewart, representing the parent organization, have attended most of our meetings and brought a refreshing approach to Bible Study and group activities. Jim Hooton, Don and Linda Devies have led us in songand displayed their individual talents on the guitar and banjo. Our Chaplain, Lou Thornton, kept in close touch and addressed the students on a variety of scrip- tural topics. He also brought along Captain Robin Jones who spoke most inspirationally on his role as a Christian on the oceanographic research vessel, the Pandora, which is seen often in our waters. Rev. Ron Attwell led a very interesting discussion group on the expafiding role of the individual Christian in world affairs. Rev. Jim Statham related his experiences on a recent trip to Israel and showed a fascinating video-tape on the history and geography of the Biblical Lands. The year was successfully rounded of with a barbecue in Mr. Wynne ' s garden on a flawless Spring evening. The neighborhood was treated to the sound of Al McKay ' s drum set as he accompanied his amusing and in- spirational monologues. Some thought will be given next year to a student executive committee which will call the meetings and organize the programme. In the meantime, we extend to all the students an invitation to participate as fully as they might wish in our meetings and devotional times. R.S.Wynne Chaplain ' s Message Regular Church Services on campus were re-instituted after an absence of several years. With the kind cooperation of Mrs. Brackenbury, one end of the Library became the Chapel on Sunday mornings, and a small band of Christians gathered to worship God. Despite her very heavy schedule, Erin Thrall was usually there to accompany our songs of praise and thanksgiving. Services of Worship were held at Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, and Christmas, with the whole School partaking. The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Group, under the strong leadership of Mr. Wynne, assisted by Mr. Reid, met bi-weekly throughout the year. Scriptural study, discussions on contemporary topics, music, and fellowship, all took their necessary places. Counselling and guidance, helping some through periods of grief or despondency, were privileges extended to me, and there is much more than can be effected in these areas. Indeed, the whole question of spiritual development must come constantly under scrutiny. The times in which we are living prove the inadequacy of the truncated education which refuses to deal with the soul as well as with the mind and body. Well-intentioned morality and kindly altruism are not enough, as more and more families are finding, and admitting. Today, just as it was in the First Century, the Christian life is a radical life; to live the truth as set forth by Jesus Christ is nothing short of revolutionary. Yet such is the privilege of the Christian School in a secular age. [THE REV.] L.C. THORNTON CHAPLAIN The Duke of Edinburgh s Award in Canada B.C. and Yukon Division Remember students follow their own interests at their own levels of challenge, skill, and competence in four areas: Expedition Work Physical Skills and Fitness Skills Hobbies Community Service One student gained his Silver Award from His Honour The Lieutenant-Governor at Government House in June this year — Andrew Maile. Others collected certificates from their Winter expedition — Mike Cottam, Stephen Leister, Dugie Smith. Next October we should be collecting four Golds, ten Silvers, and a goodly bunch of Bronzes. COMMUNITY SERVICE This year students and Staff, many of them involved in the Duke of Edinburgh ' s Award Programme, pooled their efforts towards the B.C. Lions Camp Shawnigan. A fan- tastic effort by the Cross Canada Cycle Group last summer made $10,424.91. Four teachers and 13 students raised money and ran in the Timmy ' s Telethon Team Marathon in Victoria (March 14th). Here Brentwood raised $1,450.03. Gold Award holder Sherry Lampman won a trophy for the most money raised by an individual — $541. Two Staff and 29 students spent a short time helping the Easter Seals Bunny Tag Drive and raised $1,100. A good year for the handicapped. We aim to continue this effort. When an individual does something to help others, giving time, energy, expertise, expecting nothing in return, they make a big step forward in human maturity and spiritual development. We have individuals performing services in the locality. A group of students were recognized by the Fisheries Office for their efforts in the Mill Bay Conservation Society Salmonid Enhancement Project. Laurie Pietrzak and Diana Cheng visited Cedar Lodge and taught gymnastics with Mrs. MacLean to handicapped children. Tanya Eng and Jennifer Leblond, aided by Blair Sorby, worked to help local folk. OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP AND ADVENTURE TRAINING 3 excellent expeditions: In March 6 days X-country skiing at Mt. Washington. In April 6 days X-country skiing at Mt. Washington. In May 5 days Kayakingat Long Beach. The Weather — Always sunny for ramblers. The People — Super mix of good sorts. The Camps — Comfortable, good food. Skills— Developing well. Challenge — Always there. The climbers next year will start building the new ropes course. We hope to get a climbing wall on one of the new School buildings. Some of this year ' s people will be joining the Mountain Leader ' s courses in August. R. Wingate Journalism Journalism is not your average Fine Art. I n fact, I would go so far as to say it was the weirdest class I have had the chance to experience at Brentwood. Of course, you might ask — What makes Journalism so weird!?! Your question is answered when you get an insight into the weird and wonderful people who make up the class. First of all there is that short, suave man who took charge of Journalism: Mr. Poirier. He led the class through thick and thin, short and tall, always helping Journalism to come up smelling like roses. Robyn Angel experienced that horrid mental disease: the dreaded writer ' s block. When she did not entertain us with her writing, she dazzled us with her outlandish chattering. Trine Whist had a voice that could shatter a window pane from fifty feet. Her lighthearted humour was funny, if not frivolous. Angela Keller-Herzog cranked out assignment after assignment with mathematical, machine-like precision. The amount of articles she wrote surely kept the Jour- nalism Class a Journalism Class. Suzy Ostensoe would lay across three desk tops in the most provoking manner. However, her writing was very well done and received. Mike Fitzpatrick joined us late in the year. Fitz con- tinuously made amorous advances towards Robyn, which were ignored with stoic indifference. In closing I would like to say I am sure everyone enjoyed the class this year. If professional journalism is anything like our class — sign me up! D. Sharpe The Arbutus She sat beneath the gnarled arbutus tree, its twisted branches shading her from the warm afternoon sun. On her lap she held a diary. In her right hand was a pen with which she wrote vigorously on a new page. The grass on which she sat covered a great expanse stretching towards the forest of evergreen and salal behind her. In front of her the grass grew for only a short distance. It then gave way to a bank of grey stone, which was in due course replaced by smaller rocks interspersed with pebbles, and then the sea — a succession of tiny waves lapping serenely at the mottled shore. A light breeze added playfulness to the scene, tousling the grass, gently rustling the leaves of the arbutus tree. A perfect day, the girl thought. She put down the pen and savoured the beauty of the July seascape. Her momentary peace was disturbed when a boy of about 16 approached her from the beach. He greeted her with a simple Hello, and sat down, slowly, cheerlessly. His eyes flickered involuntarily from her face to the ground beside her, yet never met her gaze. She took no notice of his melancholy behaviour and said, Where have you been all day? I haven ' t seen you since breakfast. She closed her eyes, a contented smile on her face. Can ' t say I ' ve missed you, though. Not receiving the expected backlash, she sat up and stared intently at her older brother. Nothing ' s wrong, is it? I have to tell you something, he replied, biting his lip. Jennifer, I don ' t know how, but. . . He paused. She could see he was trying to blink back tears. Jennifer ' s face became dark. She unconsciously began to pull on one braid of her long, blonde hair. Still, he avoided her gaze. Tell me what it is, Kevin, she said quietly. He took a deep breath, lifted his head, and this time looked her straight in the eye. Mother and Father ' s train derailed coming through the Rockies. This time he bent over and lay sobbing into the grass. The girl ' s mind was in confusion. It couldn ' t be what she was thinking. . . no. She resolved that it could not. Her voice trembled now as she spoke. What are you saying? she asked. They ' re both — they ' re. . . He could not finish the sentence. Are you sure? Are you really sure? she almost screamed, and clutched his arm forcefully. Now the tears were staining her cheeks, too. A nod from her brother brought a wave of grief over her. They had been away for almost a month. In a few more days they would have been home — back at their cheery residence on Arbutus Road. She couldn ' t believe they were just. . . memories. Until a minute ago, they had been vacationing in the East. Now, she would never see them again. This isn ' t happening, she thought. This is a bad dream, she thought. Her parents were still alive. But she knew that in reality they were not. What ' s goingto happen now? Jennifer moaned. Her brother, though he had regained some of his composure, said nothing. She stared at him again. You ' re still here, she sputtered. No — I mean that we are - 1 - She was overtaken by another fit of crying, but at the same time felt the bond between her and Kevin strengthen. Now there was no one but him. He was sitting patiently in front of her, solemnly studying the peeling bark of the arbutus tree. We have to go back to the house now, Jen. Uncle Brian is comingfrom Sooke to — let ' s go. His gentle tone of voice did nothing to soften the brutal implied meaning of this statement. Taking a final look at the forest across the field, the girl got up and began to walk slowly, resolutely down to the beach, and from there back to the house. Her brother walked at an equal pace by her side. The diary and pen were left at the foot of the arbutus tree. Jennifer relied more on her parents than her brother ever could have. She turned, studied his face, and decided this must be so. The gulls cried overhead as the pair made their way along the rocky shore. Jennifer could not see any way of putting her life back together. It lay before her like a shattered glass. Her thoughts returned to the subject of her brother. Though she did harbour a lingering feeling that the deaths were his fault — she would never have known had it not been for him — she knew, too, that now they would be inseparable. He also felt that his sister was now all he had, and that they had become infinitely closer duringthe last few minutes. They continued walking in silence. The boy murmured something, and his sister looked up to see three people coming along the beach. One was their uncle. As for the others. . . She stopped. Both stopped and looked intently at the approaching two. Kevin was the first to run towards them, his sister pausing a second longer, wiping away the tears, reassuring herself once again. Then the joyful reunion — embracing, some laughter, and more tears. We took an earlier train, the girl heard her mother say. Yet one thing remained to detract from Jennifer ' s happiness. Until less than an hour ago, her parents had lived — then they were abruptly taken out of her life — and now they were back. The last hour had been the most painful one in her life. Kevin had been wrong. I ' m sorry, Jen, the boy said. Uncle Brian told me they were among the victims. Jennifer though t of herself as having been twisted like the branches of the arbutus tree. She knew the pain would pass, but the scars might remain forever. Cameron Groves Grade 9 Ode to Junk Food Oh junk food goddess plump of thigh, Show me twinkies, cakes and pie.

A.K.-H Her Dimension I glance up, my magnetized eyes behold her, yet I cannot bear to look at her wild fire. In times of old she was worshipped as a god, through the ages, up, up towards her strove all thought. She majestic ' ly presides high in the skies, be she concealed, enshrouded, or just on the rise. Timelessly, always, does she give strength and light, there has ever been day after the darkness of night. Her splendid radiance gives and takes all life, but for her, there would be no worldly toil or strife. Long her light and glory, strength and truth remain, all that rises and falls forever be her thane. What deem we foolish men ourselves to be, in the light of a queen of eternity? A.K.-H his head is down, his shoulders hunched she takes a drag smoke drifts in melancholy eyes they siptheir drinks faces drawn, frowning and gloomy they move on pale, listless and dissatisfied. . . their world turns it is not in the spirit of happiness it is in that of dreary monotony they hurry about it is not with conscience of things various it is with loss of the joy in daily toil their sun shines it is not a smile that brightens their faces it is stark neon light that illumes their realm they stand, each on his own it is not a feeling warm, joyous or glad it is cold and somehow lacking. . . A.K.-H. Something Missing . . . R.A. he walks his road The Test On the afternoon Marian took her second driver ' s test, Mrs. Allen went with her. Perhaps the last time your Cousin Andy made you nervous. Yes, Ma ' am, Marian said in her soft, unaccented voice. They probably do like it better if a white person shows up with you . I ' m sure it isn ' t that way at all, Mrs. Allen began. Marian drove slowly through the residential areas. Do you want me to drive? Mrs. Allen asked. I ' d be glad to if you ' re too nervous. Marian shook her head. After some time and hushed silence Mrs. Allen said You drive beautifully, Marian. Now don ' t worry about last time; anyone would slide on a steep hill on a wet day like that. It only takes four mistakes, you know, Marian said. I don ' t remember making those mistakes that were marked down. The car turned right at a traffic signal and pulled up to the curb behind a few other cars. The Inspectors had not yet arrived so the wait began. Two cars with official insignia on their doors stopped across the street. The Inspectors leaped out looking very military. Marian ' s hands tightened on the wheel. There ' s the one who flunked me last time, she whispered, pointing to a short little fat man. Oh, Mrs. Allen, what am I to do? Now, Marian, Mrs. Allen smiled at her reassuringly. Finally the Inspector reached their car. He was very pleasant looking. Mrs. Allen started to get out of the car when the Inspector asked, We don ' t mind company if you care to come along. Mrs. Allen spoke No, and stepped to the curb. I might make her self-conscious. Turn at the next corner, Mandy, the Inspector said. He began to whistle Swanee River. Make you homesick? he asked. Marian put her hand back on the wheel and did a nice neat corner. No, she said. I was born in Penn- sylvania. The Inspector feigned astonishment. You-all ain ' t Southern? he said. Well, well! They followed a line of cars across a railroad crossing. Read that sign at the end of the road, the Inspector said. ' Proceed with caution. Dangerous in slippery weather, ' Marian said. You-all sho can read fine, the Inspector exclaimed. Where ' dyou learn that? I got my college degree last year, Marian said. Her voice wasn ' t quite steady. Marian pulled up to the curb and was doing a park beautifully when her foot slipped off the clutch pedal and the engine stalled. Now Mistress Marian, the Inspector said tauntingly. Damn you! Marian cried. She started the car with a jerk, and soon four big black crosses appeared on her test paper. Mrs. Allen was waiting eagerly at the curb where they had left her. When Marian stopped the car the Inspector jumped out and walked past her. What happened? Mrs. Allen asked in wonder. Marian stared down at the wheel. Oh Marian, again? Mrs. Allen said. Marian nodded. In a sort of different way, she said. D.A. Mathieson EDITOR ' S MESSAGE July, 1982 A lot of free time and organization are required to assemble a record like The Brentonian, and an editor, of course, is not alone if he considers all the efforts involved. I would like to thank my wife who, as my very personal secretary, typed literally hundreds of pages of reports and organized them all into a coherent story. Debbie Firman also provided some welcome assistance: she gathered and edited single-handed (well. . . Gordo ' s hand must have been in there too) all of the personal information included in the Grads section of this book. Once again Mrs. Lorraine Dann compiled the material that we often don ' t choose to recognize quite so avidly: the ads. Most Staff members were more than willing to provide in- teresting, sometimes inspired, and always informative reports that serve as the real body and soul of this annual. Countless students were eager to donate the many candid photos that serve as a colorful and exciting backdrop to our setting. All of you made my task so much easier. T.
