Brentwood College School - Brentonian Yearbook (Mill Bay, British Columbia Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1988 volume:

We dedicate this annual to Mrs. Janet Brackenbury in appreciation of her many years of service to the school. 1 Mel Gibson never did fly in to join the band of intrepid reporters holed up in ATCO A, and not even Don ' s purple prose could transform ATCO Village into Jakarta. Yet, for the Brentonian Press Club, this was the year of Uving dangerously. Blasted in the fall, monsooned in the winter, and baked under a hot tin roof through the summer, we were assailed by brick saws, bonfires, boiling tar, and bad language (building site expletives without; unedited copy within). Leah lost her shirt in the filing cabinet. Buttonholed by his own coat, Don lost his shirt falling through the window, stabbed in the back, bloodied, but not unbound. Kaj kept his shirt, but frequently lost Ivan, reportedly missing inactive.... Only Denis Beauvais, suitably clad in combat gear, six cameras at the ready for every target of opportunity, survived un- scathed. But then, he ' s a professional. We amateurs, in contrast, stumbled through the minefield of yearbook produc- tion, ever more aware of the harsh reality of Byron ' s Laws: nothing is as easy as it seems; every step takes AGES and usually has to be repeated; and at every stage, something will go wrong, and at the worst possible time. Over the year, however, our weaponry improved. Byron shipped in a stock of morale boosting exacto knives which proved deadlier than our guillotine. And finally, in March, our plea for laser technol- ogy was granted. The Mouse moved in, ably manipulated by our special squad of computer whizzes, Damon, Damien and Clinten, and the Press Club moved into the new age of desk top publishing. Thus, for the first year in the history of The Brentonian . everything you read on these pages has been typed, set into col- umns, and laser-printed on site. All the lay- outs of graphics and copy have been de- signed here, some on the computer, others with traditional cut-and-paste methods. What we have produced is the first camera- ready edition of our school yearbook. We hope you enjoy this historic volume. For in the course of duty, we have bled into the gutters and even off the page. We have slavishly counted picas, changed type specs, downloaded fonts, and snapped to guides. Leah, Dee-dee, Winona, Damien, Clinten, Lauren, Randi and Niki have given their blood, toil, sweat and tears. Rudy, Graig, Niels and Ian, the dark-room boys, and their fearless leader, Denis Beauvais, have never surrendered. For which relief, to them all, much thanks. To Don, Damon, Kaj, Sham, David - and yes, even Ivan! - also go my thanks and best wishes for the future. Leaving us too is the miserable wretch, Stan Copland, whose wisdom, knowledge and humour have proved invaluable this year. Many, many thanks, Stan! Finally, a special thank you to Catherine Kinkead, Damien Norris, Byron Johnson, and my husband, Gerry, who all helped me piece the yearbook together in the heat of the summer when the rest of the troops had gone safely home. AMP 88 Don ' t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes! This yearbook brought to you by your friendly Press Club members, jumbled clock- wise from centre: Randi, David, Lauren, Winona, Niki, AMP, Dee-dee, Leah, Dam- ien, Sham, Don, Kaj Hey guys, where ' s Ivan? 2 THE BRENTONIAN Editor-in-Chief Andrea Pennells Consulting Editor Stan Copland Editor Don McGowan Associate Editor Leah Clelland Grad 88 Kaj Reynolds Ivan Moorhouse Undergrad Business Deanna Cottrell Special Events Winona Met Sports Sham Mahon Niki Misfeldt Fine Arts Lauren Blaney Art Lit.

After 27 years on this campus, this year has marked the final exciting phase of U an- sition from one era to another. Since 1983 with the completion of Mackenzie House, followed in 1985 with the opening of the Sports Complex, we have been engaged in a campus redevelopment plan which may well be unparalleled for a school of this size at this young stage in its development. Of course, this final stage has not been easy, and 1 am immensely grateful for the cheerful cooperation of staff and students in coping so successfully with the move from the old School Block into our tempo- rary facilities in ATCO Village, and with the noise, dirt and dislocation which arc of necessity features of rebuilding. There will continue to be some inconvenience until the building is fully finished this Septem- ber, but I am confident that when the labo- ratories, the classrooms, the lecture theatre, the administrative offices, the library, the boat-house and the waterfront deck are in full operation, everyone at Brentwood will be delighted with the new facihties. Meanwhile, looking back on the year just past, 1 am struck by the gratifying growth and development which has taken place in our students in all our programmes. In endeavours for which wc had established modest expectations, they were in many cases far exceeded. In programmes where we simply expected to lay the foundations for future growth, wc had surprisingly exciting results. And in those arcits where we expected to excel, tlic results were even more spectacular than wc had anticipated. It is therefore with grciU pleasure tliat 1 review now this year ' s highlights which have been so professionally recorded by Mrs. Pennells and the students of the Press Club in this edition of The Brentonian. our first yearbook to be produced in our now Desk Top Publishing Centre. I hope that for each of you this Annual will keep alive many fond memories of the 1987-88 school year, and of the people, events and places which have made it memorable for you. To the members of the graduating class, 1 want you to know that the staff have all found it a rewarding experience to play a role in your development. There was a range of character, personality, energy and talent in your class which was so diverse that finding focus was at times difficult. Never, however, did you lose your sense of humour and never did you slop pnxUicing. The stidT join wilh me in thanking you for your valued conuibuuoii this year and in wishing you every success in your future endeavours. VV. T. Ross 7 BRENTWOOD COLLEG THE FACULTY Back Row - F.C.

Mis. l U.i Halloli i.Coach ' i SALVETE DENIS BEAUVAIS Denis came to Brentwood this year from Manitoba where he had been employed as a media adviser for the Provincial Government. For the last fifteen years he has worked as a photographer with the Canadian Forces and the newspaper industry in Canada, Western Europe, Cyprus, the Middle East and South Vietnam. Denis attended the University of Winnipeg where he majored in Political Science and History. He has now settled in Victoria where he Uves with his wife Sylvia, an employee relations consultant, and his cat, Charlotte. Welcome to the West Coast, Denis! BRIAN CARR Brian spent his childhood and youth at Brentwood when his father, Tony, was Housemaster of Rogers. After serving his time at Shawnigan while finishing off his degree at U.Vic. , Brian was keen to return to Brentwood to teach P.E., coach Colts Rowing, Rugby and Soccer, and work as an Assistant Housemaster in Whittall. As a five year man , Brian probably knows the campus as well as anyone. The new boat house, however, will help relieve him of any feeling of deja vu. Welcome back, Brian! RICHARD FURBACHER Richard began his academic life as a scientist, receiving his B.Sc. in Biochemistry from McGill in 1972. His artistic passions, however, led him to a Bachelors and then a Masters degree in Fine Arts from Concordia, where he specialized in Sculpture. He has been exhibiting his own exciting work ever since. Richard was attracted to Brentwood because of the importance of Fine Arts to the curriculum. When he is not teaching Scuplture here, Richard works in the lab at the local hospital, or sculpts at his home in Cherry Point. Soie le bienvenu, Richard! DAVID McCarthy After graduating in the Natural Sciences from Queen ' s College, Cambridge, David taught in Wigan where he met and married Lisa, a Northern lass who had returned to her childhood haunts from her new home in West Vancouver. Attracted by Lisa ' s tales of Lotusland, David accepted a position at Brentwood to teach Science, assist residentially, and coach Rowing and Rugby. Lisa and David have settled into the old Finnegan house with their lovely little daughter, Laura. Welcome, all three! CAROLYN SHILLINGTON Bom in Ireland, Carolyn came to Canada as a child. After high school, she studied for six years at the University of Alberta, graduating with a B.Ed. P.E., having speciaUzed in Athletic Therapy, Dance, Physical Education and English. She then taught at Riverbend Junior High in Edmonton. After a hectic year of housemistressing in Mackenzie, running the Dance Programme, and teaching English and P.E., she thinks she is still married to her computer whizz husband, John. She is, and we welcome them both to Brentwood. VALETE STAN COPLAND To mutilate his f avourite quote, Stan was hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky ....down to bottomless perdition when he retired from the Vancouver School District to write poems and stories in his log house overlooking Mill Bay. Hearing of Stan ' s impeccable credentials, a B.A., M.A. and M.L.S. from UBC, Mr. Ross persuaded him to come down from his hill to teach literature at Brentwood. After two interesting years, Stan now wishes to spend more time writing,gardening and being with his family: his wife, Betty, sons, Michael and Richard, and daughter, Beth, who has made Stan a proud grandfather of Jennifer, the loveliest baby in the world . All the very best, Stan - we ' ll miss you. LESLIE REID After two plus years of teaching French and Spanish, coaching squash and tennis, and being Assistant Housemistress in Alex, LesUe now leaves us to become the first Housemistress at Shawnigan Lake School, formerly for boys only. Leslie says she will miss the smiles, hugs and laughter at Brentwood, but looks forward to the fresh challenges of her new position. Au revoir, Leslie, et bonne chance! DAPHNE JACKSON We say goodbye to Daphne later in the Fine Arts section of the Annual. Fair winds and great sailing. Daphne! JANET BRACKENBURY: A TRIBUTE There are those people in every institu- tion who make a great splash and are al- ways to be found in the limelight, and there are those who quietly go about their busi- ness and in the end do as much, if not more, for the welfare of that community. Such a one is Janet Brackenbury, or Mrs. Brack as she is affectionately known to us all. Coming from a pioneer family of the area, Janet ' s first connection with Bren- twood was as a volunteer worker in what was then the Queen Alexandra Solarium, later to become the main building of the re- vived Brentwood College. Shortly after the re-opening, her husband Hugh joined the staff as a member of the Math department, and a few years later Janet joined the Fine Arts department as our first teacher of typ- ing. It was not long, however, before Janet ' s extraordinary talents as an academic teacher became recognized. Any boy, for then we were a school for boys only, who was lucky enough to have Janet as his grade eight teacher, not only ciune to know Eng- lish, but to appreciate and enjoy it also. Janet ' s students were always reading; in fact I suspect that they still arc. Those of us fortunate enough to take over a grade nine class that she had prepared in the previous year were grateful and very impressed. Janet was eventually persuaded to take over the Library, a job she tackled with typical thoroughness and good sense. It did not take long for it to become an oasis where students went to spend a quiet hour reading, or simply to talk to Mrs. Brack; and this takes us back to my opening lines about the person who goes about quietly doing good in the community. There is something about Janet that draws young people to her in a very real way. It comes, I think, from their recogni- tion that she really cares for them; that when she is strict it is because she is show- ing them that in life there is a proper way of doing things which they need to know; that manners and simple courtesy iire impor- tant; that a quiet word of encouragement and a smile are touches that fulfill a univer- sal need. 1 think tlial tl)c sludcnls have also reacted to the fact that she is, quite obvi- ously and simply, a got)d person. We shall miss Janet for herself and for llio cxanipio she has given us of what a Christian lilo can be. She plans now to spend more time with Hugh, now retired, and to en joy their beau- tiful home at Whiskey Point. We know that she will be back to see us and will continue to give us some help in the Library, but it is here and now that we pause to give her our thanks. RVL Postscript: Awards Day, 1988 It seems to me that truly effective teachers develop a unique personal style. The personal style of our Librarian would never pemiit panic, the raising of a voice, yet order was always present. The ambi- ence created by the personal style had to be attractive, peaceful, pleasant, but always energized and prcxluctivc. Mrs. Janet Brackenbury created and maintained such a learning environment in our library. Next yeitr, I hope to persuade Janet to work with us on a part time basis, but she divs wish to spend more lime at home after 37 years of teaching. Janet, you are a master of the art of leaching. Brentw(.xxl has Iven greatly en- riched by your work. I haiik you. W.T. Ross 11 FACULTY AT WORK Just let me check the 8 times table. And then Daddy Bear growled, Someone ' s been sitting in my chair.

Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow members of my graduating class: I was surprised to say the least when, on that day back in September, Sasha von Kursell stood up to nominate me for this prestigious position. At that point I would have felt fortunate indeed to merely make it past the first round of voting. You can imagine how I felt when the voting was done, and I was standing there, deserving or not, as the Valedictorian for this year ' s graduating class. I was honoured then, and am even more deeply honoured now. Thanks for trusting me. But now on to more important matters, like this day. How long have we looked forward to this day? All our many years of schooling have been leading up to it, and now the day has finally arrived when we can spread our wings out to the real world. Only a few days ago, I was ecstatic at the idea of finally being free of Brentwood, where sometimes I likened myself to a marionette, helpless, as every step I took was monitored and controlled by insistent bells and a million rules, but even as I think on this, I realize that Brentwood is so much more than the sum of its regulations. This has been our home, whether for 5 years, 3 years, or even one year. And in the absence of our parents, the friends we ' ve aU made here have been our family. The thought of shaking hands and saying goodbye to that family forever, should be enough to bring all of us to tears. Our class this year was a very special one, I think. As grad classes go we were indeed a unified one. We weren ' t perfect of course. We had our cliques, our social order, as in any society, but as a whole we stuck together, worked together, grew together; and how we partied together! Each in our own distinct way, yet still hand in hand with all of our friends, we ' ve made it through to the end of our various Brentwood experiences. Very soon now we will found out exactly what that means. I ' m sure the thing that excites us the most about graduation day is the fact that finally the bonds are being loosened and we are being set free to steer our lives along our own chosen course. But as we leave we must be eternally grateful to Brentwood for allowing us the freedom to do with our lives as we choose. For whether we all care to admit it or not, the rich education we ' ve received here at Brentwood has laid the groundwork for unlimited possibilities. But no more will our hand be held, no more will the prodding of the teachers keep us diligent. Now we are standing on our own feet, alone, and whether or not we preserve the freedom that ' s now being handed us, is entirely up to us. . • Even as we thank the school for taking us this far, so must we thank the people who made it all possible: above all our parents, many of whom have sacrificed so much to send us here. A few of us may not be the best at showing just how grateful we actually are, or how much they ' ve meant to us over the years. Thank you for all you ' ve done for us. We love you. And of course thank you to our teachers who gave so willingly of their time and efforts. They may, like us, have not been perfect, but they did the best they could, and they did it all for us, to see us through to this day. This last part of my speech is the part I ' ve been dreading. We ' ve meant so much to each other over the years. Why now, after becoming so close to each other, must we say goodbye? I really don ' t know how I ' m going to f e it, when I wake up in the morning, and walk around and realize that all the friends I ' ve made here at Brentwood are gone forevo . Well, I hope we can all stay in touch, and I hope that we meet again sometime down the road. Thank you all so much for the memories. Goodbye and good luck.

House. Our Grade 8 ' sChloe and Vanessa managed to smile and survive through numerous defaulters, gatings, and No.l inspections. I never did find out why they kept a pair of ski pants in their ' fridge! Robyn, Catelin and Tasha, our day students in Grades 8 and 9, delighted us with their enthusiasm and energy, not to mention the welcome casseroles of lasagna. Our Grade 9 ' s, Kyla, Michelle, Kendra and Jill, spent most of their free time clean- ing up their room and re-arranging all the furniture. When they weren ' t moving beds they were busy baking brownies in the kitchen. I hope you enjoyed all Jill ' s ef- forts. Cam! We soon became inundated with endless questions: Did anyone move my books? Who ate my Kraft dinner? Why do we have to pick up all the litter? If I call my mom now can I have money for a pizza? Can I use the study ' phone? Are we in trouble?? Did anyone get House bread? When can we have a sleep-in? The Grade 12 ' s led by Jessica, Nicole and Trish were kept busy coping with all these questions and did a marvellous job keeping the House running smoothly and happily. The top floor resounded with Lisa and Georgi ' s music, and Liz and Bobbi doing their exercises, while Michelle slept through it all. Samara, when she wasn ' t rowing, was usually visiting Trish and Andrea, while Erica Gunn and Sarah tried to get Erica Osbum off to bed. The rowers got up early, often looked tired, but were ecstatic when they won! On the ground floor, Mia, Susan, Joanne and Angeline managed to survive the Coke machine and each other while the rest of the day students, Patricia, Catherine and Carolyn, although down in the dun- geon , were still very much a welcome part of the House. Over in the Annex, Jen and Nicole were wonderful in their roles as moms to the four Grade 11 ' s Star, Jean-Marie, Lisa and Barbara, and our two Grade lO ' s, Margot and Emma. They coped well in their efforts to keep prep ' silent ' and they did try to make Margot slay in her room after ' liglits out ' . As the year comes to an end, I wonder more frequently than usual why I am a Housemistress. 1 look back over the past few months and remember ... the time when I got up at 6 a.m. to see my rowers off to St. Catharines and Sigi gave me a big hug and said Thanks for getting up early to see us off, Mrs. H .... the time when I returned from a dinner with my Grade 12 ' s and Andrea said, We really appreciate all the outings you take us on Mrs. H. You ' ve been very good about that. .... the time at a parent meeting when a parent of one of m y younger students thanked me for making her daughter feel so welcome, and passed on her thanks to my Head of House for being so caring. These are the moments that make it all worthwhile. Another happy and productive year in the House has come and gone. We send our best wishes and thanks for all their co- operation and help, to our Grads of ' 88, Jessica Purdy, Nicole, Trish, Jen, Sigi, Gillian, Andrea, Megan, Norah, Debbie, Susie and Jessica Bushey. Special thanks go to Jessica Purdy who was a most hard working, dedicated Head of House. She was very fortunate to have such a good back-up team in Nicole and Trish who were both capable and conscientious, and our prefects who helped provide strong leadership. Miss Reid and I give our sin- cere thanks to Mrs. Pitt, Miss Bensa i, Mrs. Mais and Mr. Ford for all their help and hospitality. We wish every success to Miss Reid in her new career. I. Hardie There are not many men who can rivet attention at a party by bragging that they live with six teenage girls. But that is what I do in Ford House - Jack Tripper, eat your heart out! And what a six! Andrea, as solo soprano with the School Choir, has a voice of awe- some power. Her dulcet tones ring through the house shattering wine-glasses by the score. Olivia juggles her social calendar with consummate skill. How does she always manage to be just a couple of sec- onds in time for all sign-ins? Tracy, con- stantly away with choir, and basketball and volleyball teams, still contrives to run up the biggest phone-bill in the history of B.C. Tel. Feet in drawers of desk, romance novel in hand, Claudia sits surrounded by her 1st XI field hockey goalie pads and innumerable rowing medals (including two golds from Canadian Henley). Then off she dashes to meet Richard Wingate and his Ramblers for what is somewhat salaciously called ' Night Games ' ! Karla also has her medals, both for rowing and mathematics. After a lengthy lecture from me about our girls entering the dorms in another house only if invited, she innocently observes, So it ' s all right if another student asks you? That ' s great. I ' ve had a lot of invita- tions from Rogers House! And, on a more serious note, who can forget her unique frog-dance, so often imitated but never equalled? And her ability to record events in improvised song? What a loss to the world of the Caribbean calypso? Her wit and humour contribute much to Ford House. Fiona makes friendship bracelets, plays her guitar, writes to her thousands of acquaintances all over the world, listens to classical music, coddles her plants, writes an essay, makes pottery, takes notes, reads a novel - usually all at the same time. So great is her interest in Art that she is con- strained to paint the Ellis House altar shocking pink at 3 a.m. We wish Karla and Fiona, our two Twelves, the best of luck. They set us all a wonderful example with their happy bal- ance of work and play - both Honours Graduates and deeply involved in so many areas of Brentwood life. Mrs. Ford and I have dozens of fond memories, for Ford House 1987-8 was an extraordinarily happy place. It was wonderful to see six so very different people get on so very well and have so much fun. FORD HOUSE I.R. Ford As I reflect back on my first year as Housemistress of Mackenzie House I cringe, laugh and remenfiber with pleasure the challenging job of caring for 54 ener- getic young ladies. My first term is the one that I cringe about most. I remember taking my first baby steps along with all the new girls. Thank goodness there were so many. They had nothing to compare me to and it ' s common knowledge that boarding school house mistresses are a little crazy, so they just got on with settling in and not worrying about me too much. As for the Old girls , I could see looks of glee cross their faces in our first House meeting when I said, I ' ll depend on the veterans to show me the ropes , Ah ha they thought, this is going to be fun! The veterans had two key words in their showing me the ropes vocabulary; they were I we promise . The dialogue ran something like this when those special words were used. - Really ma ' am, you can go to bed now. We promise that we will stay in bed. I ' m still wondering why the Grade 11 ' s know so many David Letterman jokes. - Ma ' am, you don ' t have to sit in the com- mon room all the time. We promise not to watch anything but Disney movies . - Ma ' am, would we lie to you? We prom- ise that tie-dyed, ripped up beds are part of daily dress. Really! - Ma ' am you don ' thave to talk to Mr. Ross about special leave for me. 1 promise that even though both my parents are in China and can ' t be reached that it would be okay for me to go to Vancouver and stay with friends for the weekend; even if their parents are in China too! - Ma ' am, 1 promise, that 1 was only saying good night when 1 tripped over a root and fell into the arms of my boyfriend, who in trying to break my fall, fell to the ground with me wrapped tightly in his arms. Re- ally, I promise. ....and the list goes on. They all promised a lot and between us we made it to Christmas. The second term was a little less hectic and 1 spent more time laughing than crying. All of a sudden that grey mass of girls became single entities and 1 began to enjoy them as personalities. The grade 8 ' s had started to learn about cleaning rooms, grumbled about curfews and generally made themselves at home. The 9 ' s were 14 going on 24. They kept the House staff in tune with their latest boy- friends and the strange variations on 1 dress. The lO ' s were the typical middle children, accomodating, quiet and plotting amazing activies while the house staff worried about the babies and the seniors. They also had a propensity for writing their favourite boyfriends (or hoped to be boy- friends) name on every conceivable surface available. The 11 ' s were energetic, fun and full of mischief. They had lots of naughty jokes and were constantly trying to con- vince me to let them stay up late. The 12 ' s were quiet (at times) and spent most of their time studying or making plans for life after Graduation. All of a sudden it was third term and soon these girls were going away, some forever and some just for the holidays. This is the term that I remember with the most pleasure. The groups of girls were now individuals who shared with me laughs, sad times, and important thoughts. I felt lucky to have a part in the growing up of such special people. The House was running well, and slowly things were beginning to become part of me instead of me taking part in someone else ' s creation. The night owls were bom and many a giggle was shared over the funny little foibles that room mates and friends have. Before I knew it, it was time to say farewell. A parent said to me on the last day of term Aren ' t you glad we ' re taking them for the summer? Yes , I said, it will be nice to have a holiday, but ... I will truly miss them. Now, while writing this, without the interruption of the phone ringing and knocks at the door, 1 m iss them very much and look forward to my second year with even more pleasure than my first. I would like to thank my prefects, Peta, Tannis, Nicole, Francie, Jennifer and Jessie for all their help. They endured a new Housemistress and kept the House running through thick and thin. The House staff were tremendous and bolstered my confi- dence on a regular basis. Special thanks to Mrs. Pennells for making the transition so easy, to Mrs. Pitt for keeping the House spotless, to Mrs. Jackson who assisted me with great consistency, to Mrs. Arthurs for her gentle, caring nature and to Mrs. Melhuish who filled me with cups of tea and made me laugh when all about was frantic! Cheers, and here ' s to 88 89! C. Shillington MACKENZIE HOUSE L IV 81 ELLIS HOUSE Like most years, this year has provided for the members of EHis House a variety of experience and happenings. The House is an entity made up of parts which are the attributes of the individuals found within ElHs House. Just as each individual contributes in some way to the daily life within the House, so does ELLIS hold a special meaning for each of its members. E is for Everything within and surrounding Ellis House that is green .... E is for Everyone who is an Ellis House wanna be both past and present E is for Evening prep which everyone enjoyed . . . E is for the Ellissaurus which can be found lurking in the Ellis House study . . . E is for the Excitement of discovering what is for dinner each evening . . . E is for the Emblem of the unicorn which is the symbol of Ellis House and is found emblazoned on a variety of objects. . . . L is for the Laughter found within the walls of Ellis House . . . L is for the Life which is breathed into Ellis House by those who reside within it ... . L is for those who have Left Ellis House with memories never to be repeated . . . L is for the Lavish decorations which are found behind every door in Ellis House . . . L is for Lounging around the couch in the upper hallway with a pair of slippers and a cup of coffee in Ellis House L is for Laundry which goes out with socks pinned for Ellis House every Monday morning . .. . L is for the Lists adorned with lots of color which appear on the Ellis House notice boartds . . . L is for the Last looks given by the grade twelves as they leave Ellis House for the last time . . . L is for the Lasting friendships which never would have been formed without Ellis House . . . L is for the Loyalty felt by the members of Ellis House to each other and to the House .... I is for the Inventiveness displayed by the members of Ellis House which have kept my life interesting . . . I is for the Interhouse competitions where participation and enjoyment were foremost by Ellis House . . . I is for the Interesting variety of people who reside in Ellis House .... I is for the Integrity displayed by those people who have tried to keep the interests of Ellis House at heart .... S is for the Sounds of stereo harmoniously being played within Ellis House . . . S is for the Silence which lingers in Ellis House longing for the return of its members . . . S is for Sweet treat which every dorm in Ellis House aspires to be on . . . S is for the Sign-in times which gather Ellis House together . . . S is for Seven-thirty in the morning when a looming presence regularly appears in the hallways of Ellis House . . . S is for the Switchboard being greeted with Merry Ellis Christmas House, may I help you? Regardless of what ELLIS House signifies to its members, it will always represent that time and place in our lives when we were meant to be together. I would like to thank Jons and the rest of the prefects for helping to bring the various components of the House together this year. Micah certainly deserves special mention for his efforts in bringing Ellis House to the arenas of interhouse competitions. M. Stang PRIVETT HOUSE For some reason the daunting task of writing a House report prompts an endless stream of old adages and potted philoso- phies. Perhaps it ' s a symptom of the general mood of reflection that prevails at this time of year, or maybe it ' s just fatigue, the last ramblings of a punch-drunk house- master? Somehow, the very simple dictum that there ' s no rest for the wicked keeps recurring, convincing me that I must be some sort of cross between Darth Vader and Attila the Hun. Rest was perhaps a foolish notion to cherish, this year, particularly when a pe- rusal of the House lists last August showed the reappearance of Grade 8 ' s in Privett! Throw in a total of some 23 new boys, a squad of 6 foot plus Grade 9 ' s, a smaller- than-usual group of prefects, and the at- mosphere in the House was always going to be lively . Did I hear never a dull moment flashing by? Fortunately much of the vibrant vigour in Privett this year was harnessed and used to good effect. Numerous successes in Inter-House competitions saw the Inter- House trophy once again take pride of place on the encyclopaedia bookcase. Team- work and spirit were again the foundations for these fine efforts and I congratulate particularly some of our less athletic members for their support and contribution to almost all of the inter-house events. Our only regret is that we seem to do poorly in the more cerebral competitions - is some- body trying to tell us something? Many people worked very hard to make this another very successful year, but none more so than the Assistant Housemaster, Mr. Wingate and the Residential Assistant, Mr. Tessier. If the adage still applies, then they too have much to atone for at some point in the future. In the same vein, the grade 12 class, though aware of the tough act they were following imposed their own character on the House. My thanks go to Adam and Ian for their marshalling of the prefects and for their own time spent serv- ing the House. My good wishes for the future go to all the grads. For those returning, there could well be some unfamiliar little noises ringing through the corridors of Privett and a new and very young addition to the Privett family. There goes that adage again. D. Robertson ROGERS HOUSE As I look back over my time housemas- tering, I confess that the years to some extent have run together. This one, though, will always remain distinct as the year the main school block was built. I did not relish the thought of running Rogers ten metres from a major construction site but in reality it was not as bad as I had imagined. Full credit goes to this senior class for keeping the mood in the House so positive. For them, there was not the incentive of a new academic centre which they would be using in September, yet, there was never a com- plaint. This was never more obvious than in this last week as they quietly re-located within the House to avoid the construction noise while preparing for their government examinations. To you all, thank you for your generous approach and to the prefects, my particular thanks for a job well done. My Assistant, Alastair Jackson, and his wife, Ruth, who are moving from this resi- dence for family reasons, will be missed when we resume in the Fall. My thanks to them for the contribution that they have made over the past two years. I continue to be very aware of the need for good teamwork in the successful run- ning of a residence. To my senior class and to my assistants, Messrs. Jackson, Carr, Martin and Tate, thank you all for the concern you have shown for this House. Good luck to all of you who are gradu- ating. I will follow your careers with inter- est. J.C. Allpress These days gone past Friends, memories and feelings Golden and priceless Will always last. D.H. 87 WHITTALL HOUSE Mike, those shorts you lent me they were mine! Soon, another year will be over and the ghostly echo of that agrieved comment along with all the others, will become part of the history of this house. Empty halls and barren rooms will await the renewed onslaught of youthful vitaUty that will be Whittall House ' 88 89. Meanwhile, we look back on a year that certainly had its moments. Some surprises, good and bad, have provided us all with joy and pain. Perhaps more than usual, there has been a very diverse group of personali- ties in the h ouse and melding this into a cohesive unit took longer than normal. By the summer term, however, things were together well and really showed when, in the inter-house track and field, we won by a comfortable margin due mainly to excel- lent team work and a fine effort on the part of the senior boys. Personalities we have certainly had! Andrew, able to mimic every staff member so well that even their colleagues were looking both ways. Dorm 9 -the night-owls - but good coffee. Dorm 10 - Insanity, insanity, all is insanity. Dorm 5 - muscle beach. Dorm 12 - a haven of academia. Dorm 19 - the think tank. Dorm 20 - badly timed toast. Dorm 4 - The Boss. All these were Grade 12 ' s, gone now to find their own strengths and weaknesses and deal with them unfettered. They have all, in their own way, enriched the life and expe- rience of everyone in the house and in doing so, have gained themselves. Those below them will move up. Grade 1 1 ' s will fill the prefect roles and each room in the house will acquire a new aura (if only those walls could talk!) Will the 8 ' s be- come rotten 9 ' s ? Will the 9 ' s become more so as lO ' s? Will the lO ' s rejoin the human race? Yes - they usually do! Through it all, though, they will grow up and leave us as men. My thanks go most warmly to the pre- fects who have maintained stability midst the chaos and particularly to Warren who, as House Captain, has been a tower of su ength. My two Assistant Housemasters de- serve great credit for surviving. Mr. Carr and Mr. McCarthy, both in their first year, have provided help and initiative to us all and I am most grateful to them. Mr. Can- will be back with us next year and Mr. McCarthy will be joining the House staff of Ellis House where he might just need even more fortitude! And so to next year - what surprises will it bring? What new personalities will emerge? Can we win the inter-house competition? J.L. Queen FROM OLD TO NEW The moving Finger writes and.having writ, Moves on, nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your tears wash out aWord of it. The Rubivat of Omar Khayyam For the old hands, it was a sad day. For the new students, it was a bit of a loss. Either way, it was the end of an era. Over Hallowe ' en midterm, while the students ' thoughts were of witching and other prank- ish things, a bit of modem magic sent our school block to the ground. In the old building ' s place will stand a new academic centre with a projected cost of $5 million. But the old school block was not just an academic centre. It had history, the cracks and chipped paint of years of learning. With its disappearance, so disappears the last traces of some of Brentwood ' s most- loved teachers. Without Room 3 to remind us, who will remember Mr. Cameron ' s sandals? Perhaps my five years here wax more rhetorical than another student ' s two, or three, or one. Certainly, I do not expect the Carlson twins to feel the same attachment for that building that I did. For them, Brentwood is the new school block. Atco Village is to them only a stepping stone to a new, modem education centre. And after their five years, the old school block will be a distant memory, as their grade three class- room is to them now. But for me, Brentwood is ivy-covered walls over an archway. It is classroom s that leaked in the rain. It is big glass doors, and classes on the veranda. Perhaps the new school block will give similar memories to other students. Probably it will give them different ones. Either way, they will look back through the rose-tinted glasses I now wear and see their building as I do mine. May it rest in peace.

Come on Cara, only half the gym left... Dan gets around... WELL, WELL, WELL, IT ' S HEALTH WEEK! In September, Brentwood held its first health fair to emphasize the importance of fitness, the benefit of nutrition, and the ill effects of substance abuse. Displays were presented on the environment, drug addic- tion, drinking and driving, dental hygiene, and stress management. The hands-on fit- ness testing and stress management center proved to be particularly popular, as did a filmstrip on chewing tobacco. Two main speakers. Dr. Martin Collis and Michael Buckingham, were featured in evening lectures. Dr. Collis, a noted advocate of health-promoting lifestyles, advised that people should exercise more frequently by undertaking such activities as walking and aerobics. He humorously described the fast-food outlets and the growing television oriented audience dominating today ' s cul- ture. Dr. Collis claimed that if an individual eats a well-balanced diet , exercises daily, and has self-esteem, an illness such as the common cold is only in the mind. Mr. Michael Buckingham, a policeman badly burned in an accident involving an impaired driver, gave a forceful presenta- tion on drunk driving. He described the negative effects of alcohol and spoke of the tragedy he had had to live with since his accident. In addition, he answered many students ' personal questions relating to impaired driving. Brentwood ' s Health Week proved to be a success, as the entire school increased their health knowledge by attending the fair and the lectures. Many thanks to nurse Lynn Ogilvie and her committee for all their hard work and organization. Lauren Blaney 96 WE STAND ON GUARD The Love Boat This year marked the establishment of a search and rescue base at Brentwood. Operating under the auspices of the Cana- dian Coast Guard, the unit will respond to marine distress calls in the Saanich Inlet and Gulf Islands using a 6.3 meter Zodiac. The volunteer crew, composed of individu- als from the school and the Mill Bay com- munity, will carry pagers activated by the Rescue Coordination Center in Victoria. Thirty to thirty-six students will regis- ter for the programme and will rotate through courses in first aid, navigation, and boat handling each term. In addition to a regular Fine Art block, certain qualified students will be part of the active duty roster on 24-hour standby. Students will learn while serving the community and providing for Brentwood ' s water safety needs. Water-based activiucs involve almost half the school. Students going through the programme will receive practical training an d experience and. more important, will become involved in com- munity service. Finally, the school will acquire a facility which will bo used by the Biology, Oceanography, and Raniblmg instructors. We look forward to next icnn. F. C. Purdon A Motley Crew 97 GOLD FEVER Olympic Torch Rela Hoy. XI. 1987 Feb. 13, 1988 Relais du flambeau ofympique Du 17 nov. 1987 au 13 fevr. 1988 It was late afternoon January 22, 1988 when the Olympic Torch passed through Mill Bay, bringing the Winter Olympics spirit with it. Brentwood was fully in- volved in the Torch Relay proceeding, providing both a choir to entertain at the local reception and a runner to bear the torch: Grade 10 student David Loewen submitted 200 ballots and was selected to bear the Torch during its cross-country journey. His once-in-a-Ufetime experience epitomized the ideal of the Olympic spirit, a beacon carried from community to com- munity across Canada. Memories of the torch will always remain-for David Loewen, running in Duncan; for the rest of us, ceremonies in Mill Bay. But for twenty- three Brentonians, the Olympics took on a whole new dimension. During the February mid-term, twenty students and three staff members travelled to Calgary to watch the Winter Olympics. We watched the Opening Ceremonies, Eddie Edwards and the 70m ski jumping, men ' s luge, 30km Nordic ski race, and the Sweden vs. Poland hockey game. Watch- ing the events and meeting the athletes were great experiences for all involved. Greig Walsh will be remembered for his autograph-seeking exploits, Ross Wickett for his great picture with Pirmin Zurbrig- gin, but everyone will have lasting memo- ries of just being a part of the Olympic ex- perience. The entire tour group would like the thank Mr. Allpress for organizing the event and Mr. Wynne for his time and energy during the trip. 100 Left from top: And the trumpet shall sound ...

The Official Brentwood Olympic Teams 101 Every year the Biology 1 1 students have the opportunity to visit Bamfield Marine Station. This year sixty intrepid scientists in pursuit of truth, squid, and plankton set off on a dare-devil mission across treacherous logging roads to the wild Pacific Coast. In order to protect llie fragile environment the human invaders were divided into three groups, two braving the February stonns and tiic last basking in the balmy April sunshine. Without lime to recover from the indescribable bus trip, ilio students found themselves immersed in the hectic three-day programme which ranged from late-night squid-jigging to early morning stomach-churning plankton tows. Upon returning to llie schcxil the wcar ' ad- venturers could do no more than collapse with visions of starfish and killer squid dancing in llieir heads. Many tlianks to Mr. Pcnnells. Mr. McCiirthy, Mr. Tale. Mrs. Mais. Mrs. Robertson, and Ms. Glommen without whom this most enjoyable trip would not have been jxissible. D. Courcll 103 AIR BAND The strains of 2001 - a Space Odyssey wafted through a packed house that January 23 evening. The lights dimmed. A sense of anticipation grew. The music faded. A hush fell over the crowd. From behind the curtains onstage stepped Adam Pekarsky. Microphone in hand, he introduced the first act - Barry Manilow. The curtains opened, cries of Barry! rebounding off the backstage wall. On- stage, a lone figure stood, gyrated. A puls- ing disco beat slowly crescended. Air Band had begun. By any standard, Air Band was a suc- cess. It grossed the grads over $500.00. It entertained hundreds of Brentwood stu- dents. But most of all, it provided the showcase for many Brentonians to display their talents (however bizarre they may be) . After the Air Band acts, Ross Mackenzie, Todd Barraclough, Ivan Moorhouse, Jim Smith and Alex Bell took the stage for some of the best live music the school has heard. Many thanks to everyone who devoted their time and efforts to make Air Band a night to remember.

Randi Jefferies My Old Bedroom The wooden door stood like a time- worn tombstone whose inscription had faded such that the sealed contents of the room could only be guessed at. Neither light, nor smell, nor sound was able to seep around the closed door. The stiff knob squeaked when turned. Inside, the room was dank and musty. The moist, motion- less air had a stagnant smell from being trapped and unused for many days. Every- thing appeared a gloomy shade of grey from the dim light, which blended definite shadows into diffused tones, as it passed through the window. Walls, once beige and warm, were now drab and frigid. The white ceiling tiles further dissolved the daylight and the cold, dull carpet felt firm. It no longer soothed the feet, but rather, it bit into them, like walking barefoot on solid ice. Even the vivid memories, which had been thought to be safe within the secured room, were faded. Except for a table and two identical beds, the floor was barren. The bedroom was leached of colour and charac- ter and sharp contrast, a water painted impression. The walls had been a mosaic of bril- liant posters and striking pictures, but now, not a single race car or rock star hung. Each piece of furniture had displayed a lustre the reflected images like a mirror, yet now, the wood was dark and opaque. Trophies on the shelf had radiated a shining pride in the achievements they represented, but now, concealed in the dust, they were as dull as figures carved from sandstone. The only evidence of the room having been inhabited were the flies that had tried in vain to escape this sealed vault, but instead had met their doom on the windowsill. My monotone heartbeat echoes in my ears. Vic Jando his final breath. Time has ' passed and he ' s still here- our greatest enemy, our greatest fear. To gloomy Hades all shall go, says our greatest fear, our greatest foe. Contrary to rosy writings past, we are all mortal, we ' ll never last.

' 126 FINE ARTS : THE YEAR IN REVIEW Perhaps the most heartening thing at this moment of writing is the reahsation that I can reflect upon and write about Fine Arts as a single organic whole, as a securely established part of Brentwood ' s school life. Why I have never had this feeling before , I cannot say. I know only that in the past the habit has been to think and there- fore to report ' piecemeal ' as it were, - an unforgiveably sly comment on Dance here, an excessively generous nod toward the Choir there and, usually, a not very humble confession about Drama as a rather hasty afterthought. But nowadays the considera- tion of such minutiae is quite inappropriate, even inadequate; Brentwood without its total Fine Arts programme would be like a three-season year, like a deck of playing cards without the embroidered king who shows but half his face . Unforgiveable! Have we been slowly (and often pain- fully!) moving towards this coming of age over the past several years? And am I aware of our having won our latch-key at this particular moment simply because the summer of ' 88 is, in a larger sense, one where we are all extraordinarily conscious of change and growth; undeniably there is a fin de siecle atmosphere abroad on campus, as we prepare to enter our new and unbelievably exciting teaching facilities. In any event, for whatever reason, I find it most satisfying to know that for at least twelve hours each week a group of talented and dedicated professionals has created a unique tone and mood, a special time when we not only strengthen our creative muscles but also, as we do so, find our- selves employing a common vocabulary, espousing common aims which, in turn, reflect a shared aesthetic base. It is this sense of wholeness, this awareness, cer- tainly of acceptance (possibly of respecta- bility) which I find so gratifying and for which I wish to thank both my colleagues and the students whom we are so fortunate to work with. For it is the interaction of these parties, the friction, the energy, the joy and despair between the two, which, over many years, has matured our efforts and made it possible for me to write in this vein. For excellence in the Arts this year we congratulate the following winners of Fine Arts Colours: Andrea Dccorc, Trisli Dol- man, Angelique Kambcitz, Jose Lcrma, Kelly Palmer, James Smith, Brandon Van- dergrift. I cannot close without a special thanks to my dear friend, Mrs. Daphne Jackson, for her enormous and invaluable contribution to our Visual Arts programme. Both stu- dents and colleagues alike, Daphne, will miss your talented and compassionate pres- ence on our campus. At the same time I welcome, equally warmly, Mrs. Lee Alex- ander and Mr. Keith Digby to our faculty. I am confident that your persons and your talents will gready enrich the total life of our Fine Arts Department. T.G. Bunch 128 DRAMA Although public performances were severely limited this year, I feel that non- production work, in both the Junior and Senior groups, was strong and varied. Certainly the groups were large, uncom- fortably so at times, with 27 actors in the Junior class and 31 in the Senior. To all I offer my thanks for their support and co- operation. The current arrival of Mr. Keith Digby to head Brentwood ' s Theatre De- partment should provide thrilUng future possibilities for you all to grow, both on and off the stage. Early work with the Juniors centred upon the most elementary demands par- ticularly the need to develop a serious basic theatre-attitude. I am always astonished and dismayed to find that youngsters have come to regard drama classes as play times rather than as skill-training sessions in preparation for later on-stage work. It was not difficult to impress upon the younger group the need to train the body, the voice, the imagination in order to gain some measure of quiet control over those personal resources which wiU be needed to support all acting endeavours. Slowly and satisfactorily we progressed, first building the slightest of theatre moments then rehearsing and polishing them as a prelude to our own conversation pieces , and fi- nally the tackling of a professional script. For this latter we chose to work on scenes from John Van Druten ' s I Remember Mama , not least because this piece offered a multiplicity of rich parts and the possibil- ity of blessedly simple staging. By this time a real sense of purpose had been estab- lished within the Junior group, so that auditions and rehearsal procedures were a delight for us all. The Seniors were perhaps less fortunate in the sense that many of them, particularly the Grade Twelves, eager and certainly ready to go into rehearsal for a major pro- duction, found it rather difficult to believe that ' yours truly ' was simply unprepared to handle another major show, musical or otherwise. Eventually we settled upon a great deal of studio work with naturally a much stronger emphasis on group activity. Out of this grew a series of individual poetic presentations which, by their very nature, invited a fair amount of critical evaluation and comment, not all of it gener- ously inclined, 1 might add. But Adam Pekarsky remained stubbornly determined that at some time the fat lady must sing , albeit faintly and briefly. And she did! Late in the third term we mounted a Poetic Collage , an experience which I am told alternately delighted and confused our audience. For my own part I found it fascinating to test the limits of non-narra- tive theatre and rewarding in the sense that the whole experience served to highUght the importance of those pictorial and sculp- tural elements, often of the most sparse kind, which are frequently overlooked in the stage ' s legerdemain. Finally, at this moment, it is my great pleasure to hand over to my successor, Mr. Keith Digby, the total fortunes of Brentwood ' s Drama Department. I know my readers will understand when I say that the pleasure and confidence I feel is natu- rally accompanied by a great sigh of relief. Even though the theatre at Brentwood has been the source of some of my greatest joys over the past 27 years, in the words of Hamlet You cannot take Irom me any- thing that 1 will more willingly part withal . As aye, T.G. Bunch 129 CREATIVE DANCE The Brentwood College Dance Group began their first year in a quiet, but dedi- cated manner. There were many keen dancers with a variety of dance skills be- tween them. By Christmas of the first term the danc- ers had a good understanding of the differ- ence between creative dance and other forms of movement and in our first infor- mal concert they proved that they were capable of creating some tremendous dances all by themselves! 130 In the second term they worked very hard in anticipation of our first formal concert in June. Often they wondered if the dances would be ready, (especially because Mrs. S. kept changing the choreography). Would they be good enough, and would the costumes really cover their hips and thighs, making everyone look beautiful? Lo and behold the third term arrived, the dances came together and our first concert was a tremendous success. Special note must go to Sabina Singh and Doug Schnei- der for their beautiful duet, to Jennifer Browett, Liz Bowen and Margot Lang for their solos and to Philippa Hoesli and Cara Dickinson for a creative, interpretive duet. A big thank-you must go to Mr. Bunch who taught all of us a great deal about running a performance in a professional manner. The knowledge is invaluable and we will use it over and over again in the fu- ture. Thanks also go to Sean Sinclair, Richard Koven, Jennifer Hall and Shannon Patrick, for without them we would not have had the polish and finish thatperform- ances required. C.

If the JAZZ PROGRAM was at all success- ful this year, that success stemmed from the combined talent of dedicated veterans and enthusiastic newcomers who, together, revealed an inner urge to go beyond the written note. They imaged in. They lis- tened. They made an earnest attempt to ' create ' music together. The process was sometimes a little raw, sometimes a little loud. But spontaneity and optimism led them to explore the idiom and, above all, to generate excitement. Sha-ba, sha-ba, koo-l-yop-sh-doo-dop; oo-bop-sha-b opIDoo-weeeeeeee! The saxophone section, an assembly of diverse personalities effectively energized by Ryan Rogers, projected a colourful and articulate voice which tempered many of the band ' s arrangements. Like there was no rinky-dink in these guys. They were the Kings ofSwingsville! And they knew when to put the lid on so it was happening. I mean, they really had it covered. You know what I mean? Fire and intensity in the brass section, fueled and stoked through countless hours of individual practice, burned a cutting edge to the power of the front line. Like Vic Jando really had the plumbing together with his ax. I mean, could these guys fly, or what? Instead of s tiffin ' and jivin , they could just take it out. And the heat was thrivin . Like it was on, man. Like these cats were really wailing! You dig Good jazz requires solid support. The task of trying to achieve a balance of rhyth- mic tension and release falls to the back line: the rhythm section. mean, Jim Smith was a bass picker who could really peep on the charts, like he was the straw. And he slapped that doghouse! They ' d ask for more! And Ross could play a mean lead guitar. Like he could really make snakes. Good breaks! Kelly Palmer ' s inventive mind was highlighted in his many keyboard solos and in the original composition he co-penned. We were fortunate, indeed, to have a crea- tive pianist of his high calibre. ' Cos he was on the inside track! lie could always dig what was going down; when to feed, when to go outside. lie made the changes so he was always cookin Without even loo kin ' ! He was too much, you know? Placing inexperienced musicians along- side proficient players proved to be a pro- ductive formula. This was most evident in the percussion section. Stephen Laurie and Alain Derbez distinguished themselves as talented drummers and received joint awards for their outstanding progress. Alex Bell had been an inspiring influence. Like, ' Big Al ' , was their main-man. He could ride into the sock chorus and cut loose so it was really like ... smokin . No jokin ' . And when the three of them flipped, all the pots were on. If that ain ' t the bottom line! It was a good year: the Legacy Studio recordings, concerts in the school audito- rium, JAZATAK ' 88 and the WEST COAST TOUR, Dirk ' s dance routines, Drew ' s memorable performance on the San Francisco freeway, Edmonton, Cal- gary, the Bayshore, the outdoor perform- ances, Gordon ' s alto sax impresssion of his tenor saxophone, the Fine Arts evenings, Michael Brecker, Sting and Koala Springs. The determination of each of the students to excel without stealing the spodight, and the encouragement they extended to one an- other in mutual support, were both strong factors in creating a compatible group of performers and a rare bond of musician- ship. If some of the performances grow dim in our memories, those who have moved on from Brentwood will be long remembered ...and missed. They have certainly left their mark on those who remain behind. Even the threads were cool! LD Bean CHOIR Back from left: K. Thorbum, S. Southam, T. Morash, L. Ursan, D. Sorley, S. McDonald, J. Glaenzer, D. Markham, T. Ivancic, J. Purdy, A. Kambeitz, T. Dixon, S.

However, through Mr. Cooper ' s dedication, persistence and enthusiasm, we were able to develop our own, unique sound. We started our busy year by singing at the traditional, Old Boys Remembrance Day service at the Brentwood College Chapel, and went on to perform at both the Cowichan and Esquimalt Festivals. We ventured off the Island twice, once to sing at the Choir Competition in Vancouver, from which we left having learned how to breathe, and then to sing at Collingwood and the Bayshore Hotel. We sang our best, however, at the three concerts we gave at school, the high- light of which was our guest appearance with the Duncan Choral Society. Special Mention goes to our quartet, Adam, Dave, Megan and Andrea, to the German contin- gent in the bass section, and most especially to Mr. Cooper, without whom this year would not have been possible ... by the way, it ' s Summer Wind , not Summer Skies . Patricia Loewen CONCERT BAND The Concert band started the year with many younger members and only a handful of seasoned veterans. The band grew to- gether over the course of the year, however, becoming an integrated sound machine directed by the rapier wit of Mr. Cooper. Under the watchful eye and shrill clarinet notes of Jenny White, the tuning proved to be utterly perfect, especially once an elec- tronic tuner was acquired. As well as a concert at the Bayshore where the band gave its best performance of the year, the band formed the opening act of two fine arts festivals here at Brentwood, and pro- duced a fine, clear sound for the audience. The repertoire varied considerably - from the light classic Puttin ' On The Ritz to Irish folk music (chosen by Mr. Cooper, of course!), to the melodious sounds of Tchhaikovsky ' s Romeo and Juliette . All-in-all it was a very satisfying and pro- ductive year, filled with bad puns, worse jokes, extra rehearsals, and good fun. On Friday, June 3 and Saturday, June 4, the Brentwood Choir, Concert Band, Drama, Dance and Jazz Band groups per- formed in concert at the school. The eve- nings opened with the Concert Band play- ing four pieces surprisingly well, keeping even the Brentwood students intrigued. Then, Eric Gillund and his trombone took the floor for a solo. Hot on Eric ' s heels came the Choir to sing six pieces ranging from the modem ' Summer ' s Wind ' to the operatic ' Slaves Chorus ' to the ' Gloria ' from Haydn ' s ' Lord Nelson Mass ' , with Andrea Triggs, Megan Lloyd, Adam Pekarsky and Dave Markham singing so- los. The Choir finished with Beethoven ' s ' Hallelujah ' , and left the audience to Julius Chappie ' s intriguing renditions of ' The Happy Farmer ' . Intermission came and went, with the audience enjoying the art, sculpture, pho- tography and pottery presented in the stair- wells and the cafeteria while your humble reporter interviewed parents, students and staff to come to the conclusion that this evening was one loved by all. Act II of the Fine Arts Fair opened with the Drama group presenting their own ren- ditions of poetry, narrated by one person and acted by many. Particularly memo- rable were Tim Beckmann ' s rendition of ' The Naming of Parts ' , Dan Reaume ' s version of Poe ' s ' The Raven ' , and Cori Howard reciting a poem she had herself written so powerfully that it moved some viewers to tears. But the show was stolen by Brendan Beiser ' s unique vision of the song ' Sanitarium ' by Metallica, and his dramatic chest. The actors left the audience to Mrs. ShilHngton ' s dancers, who followed an incredibly hard act to follow incredibly well. Though in places the choreography left something to be desired, it was more than made up for by the intensity of the dancers. Imprinted permanently in the mind are PJ Hoesli ' s and Cara Dickinson ' s routine, or Doug Schneider holding Sabina Singh motionless in air for an eternity or more. The evening was capped off by the Jazz Band. This band, with its nucleus of Ross Mackenzie, Kelly Palmer, Alex Bell and James Smith, to coin a phrase, really rocked. They brought even the most stiff- lipped parent to the bridge of toe-tapping, while the students one and all found them- selves wrapped up in the music. Solos from all the major performers brought the house down, and when they finished their per- formance with ' Santa Ana ' they were begged to do an encore, which they did. All in all, the Fine Arts Fair was a tre- mendous success, and all the performers deserve to be congratulated for two eve- nings of great entertainment. D. McGowan Scott McDonald 136 In the one learning area in the school that has remained geographically constant, it has been an exciting and interesting year for me. With few exceptions, many first year students and those who were more advanced, have shown themselves to be both talented and hard-working. Those who were new to pottery, were undoubt- edly inspired and given direction by those of two and three years ' experience and the whole system fed on itself to provide an atmosphere of vitaUty and growth. This inspiration came through to grades 8 and 9, for whom pottery has been avail- able for the first time. On a purely recrea- tional basis the grade 8 and 9 girls and boys have been coming in on sports afternoons, when not involved in a sport. They were, without exception, a keen and enthusiastic group. Can you imagine how good we ' ll be in Grade 12, better than Micah and An- drea, was the general feeling. And so they will be, maybe. I would be remiss, when talking of Andrea and Micah, not to thank them for the leadership they have shown this year; the quality of their work and craftsmanship provided a goal for many inexperienced hands. They, and other grade 12s, such as Sasha, Trish, Lucas and Jason Gray were invaluable as assistants this year, taking my place when I was too bu sy to help someone. A student said to me a few weeks ago, Why can ' t you shred yourself into ten people, Mrs. Smith, so that you could help us every time we bleat? I introduced the verb to bleat , as the most appropriate re- production of the sound made by a student in trouble. Ma-a-a-am , sounds through the pottery shack regularly, and the inten- sity of the anguish guides me like a homing device to whomever needs help the most desperately. So those students who step in for me to assist the latest bleaters are truly invaluable. This year, for the first time in the history of the plastic arts in Brentwood, two young men go forth to further education in the field. Sasha von Kursell and Martin How- ard will be attending either or both, Capi- lano College and Emily Carr School of Art next year, and we all wish them the best of luck! So next September, we head down to our new accommodation in the Junior Sci- ence labs, and 1 do so, as do the students, with mixed feelings. Relief that my lungs will have a fighting chance in a properly vented area and relief that I will have only one room to keep an eye on. Regret at leaving a working area of the school that many students have found therapeutic in the hectic pace of Hfe that Brentwood en- genders; that little walk from the main school to the pottery gave a sense of being apart from the everyday hurly-burly. I too, have experienced many happy hours in that unique ambience, working with those spe- cial individuals in the equivocal years be- tween childhood and maturity. H. Smith POTTERY 137 SCULPTURE In the fall of 1987, the Fine Arts Depart- ment added a new programme - Sculpture. Those adventurous Brentwood students who elected to try the new course soon found themselves spread out over the tennis courts slicing up huge sheets of cardboard, then gluing them back together into strange and wondrous shapes. The most amazing of these was a caidboard creation whose species was identified as being somewhere between a water buffalo and a bull. Following a move to indoor quarters in a bam located off campus, the students were challenged with the task of transform- ing unlikely materials such as wooden dowels, string, 2x4 scraps and pieces of molding salvaged from the administration building into three-dimensional forms. The result was a proliferation of thought- provoking, exuberant, and sometimes humorous pieces. Along the way, these images were found to be part of a coherent scheme of positive and negative space, mass, volume and the dynamics of pure form. For senior students, the year ended with a field trip to Bellingham, Washing- ton, where a day spent viewing and analyz- ing the collection of large outdoor sculp- tures at the University of Western Wash- ington provided a stimulating break from the Brentwood routine. R. Furbacher 138 WOODWORKING This is the second year in which Basic Woodworking has been offered as a Fine Arts course. Twenty students in two, hour- long classes have gained skill and confi- dence in shaping and carving wood. Al- though the distance to the studio - a work- shop behind the Payless Service Station - often cut classes a little short, students made the trek faithfully, gaining confi- dence as well as satisfaction from their developing skills. Many students learned the delight of creating in wood. Many also had the pleas- ure of seeing polished pieces displayed in the sc hool Fine Arts display and on the Graduation Weekend in Vancouver. Remarks made on the displays were, in- variably, laudatory. All students in Basic Woodworking demonstrated satisfactory progress. 1 have found the programme, again, a very iiappy experience and have enjoyed working witli the students. I would like to congratulate all siudciiL- on their efforts, especially those whose work appeared in display: J. Lcckie, J. Schmilke, T. Yamada. D. Preston. G. . J. Hocsli, J. Lo and D. McLcod. 1 would also like to wish all c:ir crs a happv. s;ife and memorable vacation, and. my two graduating students. Darnel Get and .lason Lcckie, every success and happiness. R. Pitt PHOTOGRAPHY The Brentwood photography course un- derwent a major change this year when teacher John Philpot left the program to pursue other interests. To replace this loss, Mr. Denis Beauvais was selected to carry on the duties of instruction. Indeed, since being parachuted into this course in Octo- ber, Mr. Beauvais has done that and more, completely revitalizing and restructuring the program. Here Mr. Beauvais explains his philosophy and objectives for the Bren- twood photography course: The perception of photography as a ' point and shoot ' art form is certainly erro- neous. Photography is a combination of science, art, and common sense. Without an appreciation of the technical fundamen- tals, one would be unable to produce the artistic images one desires. Physics plays a major part on film expo- sure, focus, and perspective; chemistry is the cornerstone of producing the picture in the darkroom. Indeed, fi om the develop- ment of the negative to the enlargement of the image, science is a basic principle of photography. Common sense bonds photography ' s technical and artistic aspects into a unified whole, by determining not only realistic approaches to one ' s ideas, but also the existing physical limitations of those ideas. This concept is, of course, in opposi- tion to the current trend in photography. Modem photography appears to desire to automate everything, with common sense determined by the microchip. In future years, I hope to raise the tech- nical, qualitative level of this course, and thereby have it recognized as a unique aspect of this school by the Brentwood educational community. Considering the construction and other misadventures ex- perienced this year, the Photography Club has already attained some modest gains toward this goal. The science of photography : Mr. Beauvais uses a motor driven camera set at 3 pictures per second to record the sequence of construction blasting, capturing the earth movement that is usually missed by the human eye. 3 of 5: one second after detonation, November 20, 1987 ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, DEBATE! The ability to speak clearly and em- phatically in public is one that comes with hours of practice. This year, with Mr. MacLean ' s devoted promotion, the Bren- twood Debating Club had quite a boost. Not only did a record number of students participate, but debating also became a successful interhouse event. About 24 students in Grades 8 to 10 with an additional 8 from the senior school competed in debates across the Island on such diverse topics as the B.C. ferry system and the Canadian Security Intelligence service. For many, the library became a familiar habitat in their flurry of pre-debate preparation. In February, the Debating Club headed to Nanaimo for the Island finals. In a strong, determined performance Eric Gil- lund. Dee-dee Cottrell, Scott McDonald, Leah Clelland and Max Brock qualified for the Provincial Tournament in Kamloops. Enthusiastically backed by Mr. MacLean and Mr. Steve Good, these de- baters mentally prepared themselves for two days of mind twisting debating. In the end, Brentwood finished in the top twenty out of fifty teams from across the province, the best ever performance of Brentwood debaters. I should like to thank Mr. MacLean and Mr. Good for their encouragement and support throughout the debating season. I ' m sure I am not alone in saying it was a successful year for all involved. L. Clelland WORD PROCESSING At the present time, Word Processing is intended to teach students basic keyboard skills, together with more advanced word processing application techniques. The program this year has not been as consistent as it might otherwisehave been, chiefly due to the change of instructors in early Febru- ary. We are looking forward to a more fully developed program next year, particularly if the new computer facilities and software come on time as scheduled. Many of the technical problems we are currently experi- encing with existing hardware should be eliminated, and the programme should run a good deal more smoothly next year. This year (at least since February) has cer- tainly been entertaining. We gratefully(?) acknowledge the creative efforts of the cast of the Afternoon Road Show, including Rover, Spike, Pippi, Elzabubba, Mad Max the Toad Warrior, the Mouth, Buster, and - of course - Iron Mike, the World ' s Greatest Unarmed Combat Expert (and a legend in his own mind). Credit mustalso be given to Carlson Carlson for keeping the oilier cast members out of the slammer. S.Good 141 BRENTWOOD INTERNATIONAL CLUB Foreign students coming to Brentwood face many problems. Not only is the change of language a shock but also the change in culture, not to mention the de- mands of living in a residential school. In Spring 1987, as I was reviewing my two years at Brentwood I began to think of ways to make the problems and worries of other foreign students easier. I thought that if there was a way for us to get together, to share our concerns and experiences that would be a good thing. Mrs. Melhuish helped with the idea of forming a club where we could meet infor- mally, away from school, and so in early October 1987 the Brentwood International Club came into being. Its members in- cluded students from Grade 8-12 from Singapore, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Honng Kong, and Taiwan. We also in- cluded Canadian citizens where parents live overseas from Dubai UAE, Sumatra Indonesia and Beijing China. There are twenty students altogether. For our meetings this year we have been at Mrs. Melhuish ' s house, to Victoria, where we have been to see movies, and visited different ethnic restaurants (Mexi- can was the best), Xmas shopping and to Chemainus to see the murals. At our last meeting held on June 12th we planted a tree to commemorate our first year. We then went on to have a barbecue. As the President of B.I.C., I have en- joyed sharing our problems, ideas and especially our cultures throughout this year. I wish happiness and success to all its members both now and in future. Jose Manuel Lerma Quevedo BONJOUR, G ' DAY AND ARRIVERDERCI! Chris Forbell and J o son Taylor It takes a strange breed of person to leave a school he or she undoubtedly loves for one he or she has never seen. But there are those who do it, and those who love it. Exchanging gives a person a change and a chance to see things as they are done half- way across the country or halfway around the world. This year, our exchange students come from two schools - John Paul College in Sydney, Australia and Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. John Paul College is a co-ed day school of around 1000 students. Trinity College is a boys ' school about the same size as ours. Jason Taylor and Chris Forbell (TCS) and Lysa Taylor and John Young (JPC) have all told me how they enjoyed their respective times here. In turn, they all proved to be popular additions to the Brentwood campus. Any mention of exchanges would not be complete without mentioning Miriam Bensai, our exchange teacher from Mo- rocco. She was studying at the University of Grenoble, France when she heard from Mr. Jackson that Brentwood was looking for a French assistantc to come over for six months. She jumped at the chance, and is now living next to what used to be Marg ' s. She says that the climate over here is much cooler than Morocco, but the scenery is equally beautiful. The Brentwood community thanks these individuals for enriching its year. Don McGowan Mile. Miriam Bensai Lysa Taylor and Joliii Young INTER VARSITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP The I.V.C.F. Pioneer Group met throughout the year on Tuesday evenings in thehomeof Mr. and Mrs. Wynne. Alastair and Ruth Jackson and Miriam, a visiting French teacher from Morocco provided en- thusiastic leadership and refreshing new ideas. For the first time we provided a ' drop-in cafe ' at the old Marguerite ' s Tea Room and the students who discovered the new Saturday night rendezvous enjoyed the Christian music and the fellowhsip. We hope this will become part of our campus life. There was real spiritual growth in the lives of some students and for others the presentations offered a new level of chal- lenge or a haven of peace away from the hectic school program. Much of the enthu- siasm was generated by the guest speakers who included a missionary from the West Coast who had served a lengthy prison term in Oakalla for attempted murder, a local minister, who was carrying the heart of a much younger donor, and the chaplain from Royal Roads who was able to place our campus rules in perspective. In addition we had several visits from the staff and students of Capcmwray Col- lege on Thetis Island who brought their own brand of music and testimony from all over the world. Wc also had opportunities for sharing and praying together as well as Bible Study and lighter moments. We spxjnt an evening with a fonncr graduate, David UUstrom, who is now in Taiwan with his wife, Ruth and son, Stephen. David was a regular participant and leader in l.V. when he was a student at the college. Wc will follow his career with Overseas Mis- sionary Fellowship in the Far East. We say farewell to three of our faiihful attendees, who are graduating and wish them God ' s blessing in their future lives: Jose Lerma, David Muih and Maiihcw Spearin. We expect l.V. to continue next year and to provide some spiritual enrichment to those who show an iniorosi. W ' c offer iliai invitation now to one and all. R.S.

CONGRATULATIONS, PLAYERS AND COACHES! A vintage year indeed! J.B Garvev SPORTS SENIOR RUGBY 1ST XV Back Row: B. Deagle, P. Berg, I. Goff, J. Lonsdale, R. Kennedy, B. Baird, J. Brickner, S. Hunter, K. Blaauw, Mr. Robertson. Front Row: N. Hunter, W. Brazier, K. Palmer, C. Wilton, P. Brennert, G. Renton, T. Soenen, R. Rochon. When the final whistle went on the last Saturday in November, Peter Brennert ' s XV fully deserved their mo- ment in the sun. The victory against a very accomplished St. Michael ' s side set the seal on an improvement which saw the Brentwood XV win four of the last five games of the season. As the sports cogno- scenti are well aware, playing winning rugby and actually winning are two very different activities. Consequently, we wit- nessed some fine periods of domination throughout the season, particularly from the forwards, only to see the elusive W sHp away. Mistakes and misused posses- sion were the main culprits, but defensive lapses played their part. Very good sides defend with the same desperation and re- lentlessness that they attack. Unfortu- nately, we lacked these qualities too fre- quently during the season, especially after a mistake had been made. When the season began as early as the last week in August, the main priority, again, was to establish stability and control at half-back. Graham O ' Brien and Graeme Renton claimed the position of scrum-half and stand-off, respectively, and continued until Renton had a brief sojourn at full- back. Even exponents of open rugby need authoritative kicking somewhere in midfield and, although their pairing had many other qualities, there was too often inconsistency in their footwork. Graeme Renton, however, played an influential part in many games and, on his return from injury, was outstanding in the two closing games of the season. Graham O ' Brien lacked nothing in courage, but as yet lacks the cheeky guile required of a hot-seat position like scrum-half. Significantly, results improved when Rob Rochon came into the XV for the UVic game. He pos- sesses a healthy smattering of guile and his performances were a revelation, which augurs very well for next season. While Renton was injured, Kelly Palmer moved in from his place on the left wing and adapted remarkably well to the demands of a new position. However, his form suffered in some of the pressure games and he was much happier when restored to his role as an effective, good-footballing wing. The main occupant of the other wing berth was Niels Hunter, whose physical commitment belied his size and whose perpetual motion in attack posed problems for many de- fences. Elsewhere in the backs, Troy Soenen was a fixture at either full-back or wing until injury deprived us of his elusive running skills. The full-back spot was filled by Warren Brazier, who went from strength to strength and became a key member of the XV. Stability was Brazier ' s trademark and was also the key word in the centre where Paul Berg and Cam Wilton played together in every game. Both excel- lent athletes, this pair only lacked a certain feel in their decision-making at times. This 152 was largely because of their inexperience. However, what they lacked in finesse they invariably made up for in force, with the trenchant running of Berg in particular becoming one of our most potent attacking weapons. In the pack we had the good fortune to have the same front five in virtually every game. Their scrummaging and rucking were at times superb, and they often churned back so much possession that it embarrassed the backs. Iain Goff at loose- head matured greatly in the course of the season and will be a proposition for anyone next year. On the other side, Peter Brennert was the veritable pillar of strength at tight- head prop. For such a big lad, his fitness and mobility were remarkable; he fully deserved his selection for the Vancouver Under- 19 team. Packing in between these two stalwarts, the quiet, unassuming Bruce Deagle was arguably the outstanding for- ward of a very good bunch. His commit- ment was fearless and much of his driving play and covering work was indeed memo- rable. Behind these three in the boiler house , Ross Kennedy and Brian Baird were admirably workmanlike. Their profi- ciency in the lineout gave credence to the maxim, he who controls the lineout, con- trols the game. Kennedy, in particular, dominated the middle of the line with the hovering, two-handed takes of one accus- tomed to life in the air around the basketball hoop. However, if this front five saw many successful rucks through to their conclu- sion, then the commitment of the back row was the instrumental factor in setting up so many of the platforms from which good rucking emanates. Kerry Blaauw, at blind- side wing forward, had a marvelous season typified by much invaluable, and often unseen, grafting in tight situations. He was aided and abetted in a similar vein by number eight Jason Brickner, whose rug- ged play in attack and defence was tire- lessly effective. At open-side, Stuart Hunter (returned to the position after a short stay in the backs), was just the sort of mobile destroyer that any team needs in its breakaway unit. His pace afforded him many fine moments of support play in at- tack. In addition, Peter Fenton, Jason Lonsdale, and Rudy Enzmann each made several appearances for the First XV, ac- quitting themselves well and showing much promise for next season. Once again this was a season when the statistics fail to convey the whole story. The ending however, was a happy one, something that this group of boys richly deserved for their wholehearted efforts. Peter Brennert led the side by example, particularly when the going got tough. I thank him for his unfailing support and I congratulate him on a task undertaken with good, honest commitment, and a job well done. Similarly, I extend my thanks to Mr. Cowie for his invaluable back-up and for his efforts with the Second XV. At the time of writing, the tour of Britain and France lies ahead, with its many daunting challenges. If we can rekindle the spirit of that November afternoon, and believe in the ability that we finally uncov- ered, then we will return all the more ready to pursue excellence. The enjoyment is in both the purpose and the practice. D. Robertson 1st XV WINS LOSSES S.M.U.

Act One of our ru gby drama unfolded in the bright sunshine of an optimistic September. Who would have known then how Fate would play with our tight-knit pack of von Kursell, Edstrand, Getz, Pater- son, Wiren, Lonsdale, Reaume, and Fen- ton. We rarely fielded the same scrum from week to week. Some were struck down by the slings and plaster of injury, others trod the barer paths of banishment to the thirds, and others received a call to glory with the 1st XV. Similarly, our promising cast in the backs multiplied as the season progressed until the horde of different faces more resembled a Cecil B de Mille movie than a back division. From this mob, our casting director could never decide on a permanent scrum half, with Rochon, Gray, and O ' Brien receiving the revolving door treatment. Other backs who ap- peared for longer than a cup of coffee included Brazier, Howard, Enzmann, Hunter, MacDonnell, Parker, and MacCos- ham. The backs, like the forwards, were caught in a web of circumstances which depended on the first team roster and the sick list. Typical of our star-crossed troupe was the instability at captain. We had a series of captains from the dependable Brazier through the mercurial Reaume to the stout-hearted MacCosham. In the first three games of Act Two the team played to rave reviews, all convincing triumphs. Brazier inspired the team from fullback, while wings Hunter and Enzmann took turns racing into the spotlight. The forwards were winning an ample supply of ball and the backs were scoring great tries. Our convincing 18-0 win over Shawnigan, a wonderful performance, left us expecting an encore. However, only too quickly the thrill of victory gave way to the agony of defeat. Fortune ' s Wheel had reached its crest and we began our plummet to the depths of adversity. Act Three featured a repetition of misfortunes as we played well enough to win, but lost narrowly to SMU and then to St. George ' s. From that point on the icmi began to change both in altitude and per- sonnel. Though we continued to have suc- cess on the lesser stage against the public schools, we could not seem to find llic magic again against the independent schools. Still, we had the unconquerable will to play on and give everything to try to redeem ourselves in the final game against SMU. We assembled the best cast we could for the final act - even a catalyst in Troy Soenen, fresh off the injury list. The first half of the game exhibited heart, determi- nation, and skill. The presence of Soenen and Jamie Richardson (fly-halO gave the backline the penetration necessary to take advantage of the good ball the forwards were winning. We earned a 9-3 halftime lead. It seemed that we might avert tragedy and produce a happy ending after all. How- ever, a recurrence of Soenen ' s injur ' took him from the game; the tide turned and SMU scored two tries in the last five min- utes to seize a 17-9 victory ' . As the curti in closed, 1 could not help but admire the enthusiasm and desire of these players, slaves to destiny. I cannot fault their effort. Tliough tliey did not fulfill their promise in tlie win column, tlicy cer- tainly satisfied me in tlie area of commit- ment. Perhaps they can gain some satisfac- tion from this if tliey believe, as 1 do. that a greater power tlian they could conu ' adict thwarted their best efforts. S.

The 4ths, of course, won the ISA trophy handily and the 3rds... well, they came close. Fortunately, they were blessed with Brendan Beiser and Adam Pekarsky, respectively, possibly the two greatest rugby players ever to come through the Brentwood system. Though all the credit should rightfully go to us, there were others who played minor, insignificant roles. Micah Field, the human P.A. system, demonstrated a re- markable, consistent ability to hit an up- right from virtually any position on the pitch. Geoff Stollery ' s legendary hands and Andrew Parker ' s elusive running style also deserve honorable mention. We learned two very important things this past season about our coaches: Mr. Allpress does not like light and therefore prefers to practise in the dark; Mr. Garvey, on the other hand, avoids water with fanati- cism. Their respective quirks aside, we would both like to thank them for their time and effort in coaching B Group. Adam Pekarsky and Brendan Beiser Stop the Press For the reader ' s benefit we feel it should be mentioned that the above report was written for and by a couple of insignifi- cant members of B Group obviously hope- lessly prejudiced toward an inferior team (namely the 3rds), a team, it should be remembered, which did not quite manage to win the ISA trophy. The 4ths, on the other hand, had a magnificent year with the win of our ISA trophy highlighting the season. A splendid, talented blend of precision and teamwork contributed to the 4lh ' s undeniable suc- cess. The devastating wing-and-fullback trio consisting of Damon, Rex, and Kevin courageously tackled all signs of life, intel- ligent or not. As far as complex and inspir- ing back play was concerned, it was our evasive half-backs and centers (Jamie, Lucas, Phil, and others) who dazzled and dominated the opposition. However, the real stars of the team were without a doubt the unconquerable forwards. Led by the thunderous Jim and Ivan the Terrible, it was Todd Mike, Mon- soon John Lironi, and the rest who merci- lessly pummeled and pounded our feeble opponents into miserable oblivion. With this combined lalenl the 4lhs overcame all opposition and won the ISA trophy. Overall, B Group had an cxcellcni year with the 4ths truly outshining the 3rds. It was indeed a regrettable misfortune that the 3rds did not manage to win ihcir ISA trophy as well... maybe next year guys! Ivan Moorhouse and Damon Wright 157 5th 6th XV ' s Back Row: Mr. Wynne, S.

Omand 158 The 5ths tcx)k some time to master basic skills and blend into a cohesive unit, but by term ' s end they were playing solid, enter- taining rugby which drew comments from opposing coaches and referees. Much of the credit for the display of spirit and sportsmanship must go to Troy MacKen- zie, who held team meetings before each game and made all the on-field decisions. He himself became a very brave and inno- vative stand-off while working with Matt Spearin, a very impressive scrum half. Dean Fortier, Jason Ward, and Stephen Booker all developed into attacking centers and Booker led the team in unassisted tack les. Beyond the centres, Chris Woodcock and Alex Bell ran hard from wing three- quarter positions. Bell is a particularly difficult man to bring down. Peter Andress represented the last line of defence. Though his kicking skills were dubious, he tackled and ran convincingly. Without a strong pack the backs would never see the ball, so much credit has to goto Keith O ' Shea, Dane Brundin, and Colin Bannon, who developed into a sturdy front row with a quick strike. Ron Fritz, Mike Fantillo, and Timm Hartmann all had their turn at second row. Ron was the greatest asset in the loose, Timm was always there to push, and Mike was the lineout specialist who also doubled as a field-goal kicker. The fearsome break for- wards were Erik Gotfredsen and Paul Hauschka, ably supported by pack leader and number eight Don McGowan. Most of these boys will play in a higher league next term. They will be a credit to the game and bring a level of enthusiasm and sportsmanship that is only seen at schoolboy level. From the 6ths, a group of novice players and seasoned veterans came a select few whose skills developed rapidly under the coaching of Paddy O ' Fee, a visiting rugby player from Northern Ireland. Built around these individuals was a team that played vigorous, open rugby that was always en- tertaining. Alan Ashton, Brenton Morash, Julian Cooper, and Brandon Van dergrif tall ran with determination and as their confi- dence grew they accepted more and more responsibility. Jose Lerma hooked the ball well and was always prominent in the loose. Kaj Reynolds and Martin Duffy served to hold an inexperienced back line together; Nils Edstrand though small and light, was a most elusive wing three-quar- ter. Dale Preston and Vic Jando may well prove to be very useful players next year, thanks to the season ' s experience they now have. The Sixth XV would like to thank Mr. O ' Fee for his enthusiastic coaching during the term. R.S. Wynne JUNIOR RUGBY Colts A Back Row: D. Campbell, J. Hood, C. Scott, T. Camey, D. Crook, S.

Ipatowicz We faced the perennial problem in the Colts ' A ' XV of whether to play experi- enced players from the previous year ' s Junior Colts or to bring in new Grade Tens who were better athletes but knew nothing of the game. The coach decided on the latter course of action. Even someone as opinionated as he was forced to question, at least momen- tarily, the wisdom of his decision. After our first two matches, with eight novices in the starting lineup, we lost to Shawnigan 24-0 and to SMU 26-0! From then on, however, we never looked back. We beat St. George ' s 14-6 here and 11-10 there; we lost to Shawnigan 3-4 and tied them 6-6 (both games were among the best I have seen); and we beat SMU 10-3. This last match made us the only team to defeat SMU, and forced them to share the championship with Shawni- gan. The season thus fell neatly into two halves: before half-term we were learning the game and taking our knocks; after half- term we became one of the best Colt XV ' s in several years. All members of the team could tackle; this made it difficult to score against us. The forwards were good in all phases, particularly rucking - one parent from New Zealand remarked that he was reminded of the All-Blacks - high praise, indeed! And the backs ran hard and with more pace than for some time. It would be invidious to mention indi- viduals - this was, essentially, a good team. I must, however, congratulate Hamish Mitchell for his outstanding captaincy and his cheerful sufferance of his coach ' s vaga- ries at the start of the season. We should all, also, like to thank Mr. Howard Dixon for his tremendous support and presence on several intemperate afternoons to give the backs the benefits of his enormous experi- ence. I.R.

Harlington 161 The Colts B showed athletic potential early on during conditioning training, and superior fitness proved to be a deciding factor in many of their games. Technically it was inexperienced side, but application to basic drills was excellent and the level of competence improved steadily. The first debacle against Shawnigan was a bruising game, won only by strong, direct running, and hard tackling. The latter was to become a trademark of the side later in the season. The next game against SMU was lost narrowly, but the defeat seemed to bring the team together. The players became united for a common objec- tive: to beat SMU in the return game. Against St. George ' s, the backs showed their paces, particularly in the center where the speed and elusive running of Alain Derbez brought several scores. The for- wards also dominated, and provided qual- ity possession. The return game against Shawnigan was again hard-fought and brought a vic- tory for Brentwood, thanks to aggressive running by the forwards. Standouts were S teven Kristoffy and Carmen Wagner, who also played major roles in the return game against St. George ' s. The St. George ' s game was probably the best performance of the season. The forwards began to produce excellent lineout ball, and wingers Colin Scott and Jared Benson were fully in- volved. The climax of the season was the final game against SMU, with a share of the ISA championship at stake - but far more impor- tant was the factor of revenge! The game was played with excellent spirit and be- came a titanic forward battle in muddy conditions. The decisive try came early in the match when, from a maul close to the line, Logan picked up and forced his way over. The defensive work was good enough to maintain the lead, and typified the level of commitment and team endeavor responsible for a highly-enjoy- able and successful season. The Colts C had an illustrious season, winning their division of the Independent Schools ' League with and five and one record. Despite suffering a heavy defeat early in the season at St. Michael ' s on the infamous ' ski slope ' pitch, team morale remained high and there was keen compe- tition for selection. As the season progressed, the front five developed good scrummage and line- out technique making effective use of a pair of very tall second row forwards, Kevin Sou and Chris Larsen. Phillip Mar- tin at break and later Benito Berber at wing forward also did more than their share of supporting and tackling. However, loose play was the pack ' s main weakness, and great reliance was placed on the ubiquitous Ken Chan , a player whose appetite for the ball was an inspiration to the entire team. Ryan D ' Arcy at scrum half and Mat- thew Robertson at fly-half combined to make inteUigent use of possession, kicking well to put the opposition under pressure. Shayne Bell and Jon Ellis in the centre provided breaks through midfield; wings had pace in Andrew Ross and Richard Koven, but lacked the fluency of handling to put together their much practised moves. After claiming the scalps of Shawni- gan and St. George ' s in close-fought games, the team ' s climax came in the final match against SMU at Brentwood. In a truly memorable struggle, the side pulled out all the stops and played their best rugby of the year. The hesitant players who were beaten by a forty point margin at the start of the season now tackled fiercely and were eager for the ball. A try in the dying minutes brought them within a point of the opposi- tion and the touchline conversion by Robertson gave them victory and the cham- pionship. D. McCarthy Junior Colts A Back Row: N.

Lo 162 Inthebeginningtherewere33. And on the first day, Mr. Prowse said, let the fat and unfit perish. On the second day he said, let there be ' Heine MeuUers ' and there were. On the third day he shouted, Let there be more! And there were. On the fourth day he announced, Fatigue makes cowards of us all , and it did. On the fifth day he intoned, Let there be tough, aggressive forwards, and there were. From his godlike position he screamed on the sixth day, Let there be quick-handling, hard-tackling backs. Nothing happened on the seventh day, and so he was forced to create an ' A ' team built around the 8 mighty men up front By this time the agony, pain, and stiff- ness had dulled our senses and we began to think we were supposed to feel this way all the time. We trudged on, developing our positional skills. The pack began to win a huge amount of possession in the beginning matches of the season. The rucking and mauling were fearsome. Under the leader- ship of Michael Pettit and Aaron Sweet, veterans of the Under- 15 tour of Ontario and Quebec the previous May, opponents were roughed up, points were scored, and games were won. Matthew Zeitler and Dars Albertini, two newcomers, soon joined our top veterans as forwards to be reckoned with. However, unresolved backfield weak- nesses soon began to cost us points and prevented us from defeating our major ri- vals. After an early win against Shawnigan we lost to Magee, St. George ' s, and SMU before Mr. Prowse, in desperation, recon- stituted the back division. By injecting two forwards, Jason Lo and Aaron Sweet, he hoped to shake up and remold our back line. It seemed that the critical pieces in the jigsaw puzzle had been found, for the backs began to play their part and a memorable season ended with a stirring tie against SMU and a satisfying victory over Colling- wood. I feel that we became a good side with excellent spirit. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Prowse for not allowing us to stop, Mr. Carr for his sympa- thy, and Mr. Ford for his set-scrummaging expertise. Most of all I ' d like to thank the team for its efforts.

Charania In the September of the year 1987 there assembled on A2 a most varied body of men who were destined to become the Under-14 rugby team. They numbered among them the large (Terran) and the small (Chris), the fleet (Faizal) and the not- so-fleet (Jeff), the muscular (Michael) and the less muscular (Cameron); yet all worked hard to find a way to contribute to the team. Skill exercises, running, and strength training all played their part and out of it all emerged a functional team. After an open- ing 12-4 home win over Shawnigan, spirits were very high and continued so with a 32- 0 drubbing of an inexperienced side from Mount Prevost JHS. A greater sense of reality was brought about as we lost 12-20 to George Bonner and lost through injury Peter Stroble, who could not play again. A further trouncing by SMU exposed the unwillingness of our backs to defend stoutly, a problem which we never really overcame. In the local Under-14 tournament for the Bridgend Trophy we played some of our most attractive and cohesive team rugby. Our first game against Shawnigan was won on a pair of excellent tries earned by strong support running by Faizal Chara- nia and Damien Norris. In the next match the small but fiery pack controlled its larger opponents and the backs scored two superb tries, one on an interception by Robert Pierce and another through a mercurial effort by Faizal. We held the lead until the last minute of the game, when lackadaisical tackling in the cend-e allowed a George Bonner back to break through and decide the game. After a creditable loss to an athletically superior St. George ' s side we beat Shawnigan and Mount Prevost again, but then seemed to tailspin thereafter, los- ing our final five games. At times the forward play was excel- lent despite a lack of size. Michael Moraes and Eli Westinghouse assisted Terran well in the front row and the back row play of Drew Belobaba, Gene Na, and Jamie Hal- liday was always a treat to watch. Dan McLeod was an effective No. 8 at the lineout and scrum but his play in the loose was hampered by indecision. The half- backs moved the ball well and when Robert, Stephen, andFaizal were ' clicking ' it was very exciting rugby. I enjoyed coaching this group very much indeed. With few exceptions they developed a sound, mature sense of team rugby and their coach next fall will cer- tainly appreciate it. Indeed, in four years ' time, I shall not be overly surprised to see three or four of them wearing First XV uniforms. W.J.

LEAGUE Having been plagued constantly since December by the Colts team about playing more rugby, I succumbed and entered them in the Vancouver Island Rugby Union (Under 17) League from April to June. We were, of course, a year younger than the opposition but, nevertheless managed to field strong teams thanks to the co- operation of Mr. Brian Carr, who allowed his rowers to play except just before major regattas. On those occasions we brought in some of last year ' s Colts. The players melded together beautifully, played most attractive rugby, and, being undefeated, won the League. The highli ght of the season was, un- doubtedly, the victory over Oak Bay Wan- derers that decided the league. Playing very disciplined football in a superbly refereeed game, we won 18-6 over a team largely comprised of SMU 2nd XV and Colts players. The match was open, fought out at a furious pace, and a delight to watch. An Oak Bay supporter, obviously disap- pointed at losing a game that would have given them the championship, nevertheless remarked, The winner today was rugby football! As a result of the June 11th trials, in- volving close to 100 boys, to pick teams to represent Vancouver Island in the B.C. Summer Games, the following were hon- oured: Vancouver Island First Squad - Adam Pegg (hooker), Warwick Elhom (lock), Gregor Dixon (open-side flanker), Kerry Blaauw (blind-side flanker), Rob Rochon (scrum-half), Rob Berg (outside centre), Rudy Enzmann and Niels Hunter (wings).

D. Robertson 166 GIRLS ' FIELD HOCKEY Field hockey took new turns at Bren- twood this year. One was disappointing, but others indicated that we could have a bright future in terms of participation and performance. A major change brought Grades 8 and 9 girls into field hockey., but put a strain on the limited field space avail- able. More than seventy girls now play hockey, enough for six teams, but with only one field our development is inevitably going to fall short of its potential. We have enough coaches and interest among the girls at all grade levels; now we need two fields exclusively for field hockey so we could reestablish Brentwood ' s strength in the province. For the first time this decade, our 1st XI did not qualify for the B.C. Provincial AA Tournament. We needed to win or tie against Cowichan Senior Secondary in the Island Tournament at Courtenay, but by this crucial game we had lost Shannon Patrick and Jean-Marie Ingarfield to injury. We missed Jean-Marie against Cowichan and lost 2-1. That we came within ten minute of qualifying was a credit to Nicole Robertson (captain) and her team who 1st XI played so tirelessly and desperately right to the end. The girls were gracious in defeat and I was as proud of them as any of the more successful teams in previous years. Many of the girls will be back to take part in the 1988 Provincial Tournament! The 1st XV relied heavily on Debbie Reed to score goals (15) and on Claudia Fritzche who had to learn the art of goalkeeping in a few hectic weeks. Several team members were in Grade 1 1 , new to the school and to the game . They included Claudia, Shannon Patrick, Jen Hall, Keely Assu, and Bobbi-Ann Weise. Along with other Grade 1 1 players such as Jean-Marie, Samara Walbohm, Kirsti Thorbum, and Elizabeth Boyer, and the potential within the junior team, we have a promising future for 1988. One of the highhghts of the season was the success of the Junior (Grade 10) XI. The girls were not particularly experi- enced, but after an uncertain start they secured second place in the Mid-Island Tournament, the best ever achieved by Brentwood. The reward was the Island Tournament in Port Albemi. Our team lacked the ability to score enough goals in games when we had considerable territorial advantage. Although we finished in the lower half of the tournament, the experi- ence gained by players such as Courtenay Wolfe, Angeline Geiger, Erica Gunn, and Kim Hsu will contribute to the resurgence of the sport in 1988 and beyond. The sixteen girls in Grades 8 and 9 shared their time between field hockey and volleyball. The number of games played was limited, but they were involved in the Junior Mid-Island Tournament as a result of a memorable win against George Bonner ' s second team. Robyn Campbell, Christina Carlos, Tasha Dixon, Melanie Roberts, and Erin Campbell helped the team reach respectability. Others gained experience to make us stronger next year. The house tournament was one of the best I can remember. A strong Ellis team eventually won, but not before Whiitall gave them a hard fight. H.J. Martin Back Row: Mr. Martin (Coach), J. Hall, K.

Although there were obstacles that varied from contacts to casts, the team still managed to fuse to- gether and work as one effective unit. Acting as one of the strongest bonds was the captain, Tannis Morgan. Throughout the season, her leadership and non-stop hustle was greatly valued and respected by fellow teammates. The girls started their season on Octo- ber 16th, at the U.B.C. Invitational High School Girls ' Volleyball tournament. With thirty-two teams competing, the girls real- ized it was time to see if all the bruises and pain had truly been worth it. After two days of seemingly non-stop ball the Brentwood girls had secured second place in their pool. Advancing to the quarter finals, they con- tinued to fight and finished in eleventh place. Next, the team competed in the West- em Canadian Independent Schools Senior Girls ' Volleyball Tournament in Calgary. Over another two-day ordeal, Brentwood had some strong victories and some pain- fully close splits. In all, the tight games that the team had lost or split had them one point out of the finals and they finished fifth out of ten teams. Well into the season the Brentwood girls emerged undefeated from the Mid- Island Tournament for the seventh con- secutive year. Four days later, Brentwood hosted the Independent Schools Senior Girls ' Volleyball tournament. Again, the girls maintained their first place standing and added a trophy to the Brentwood col- lection. The regular season ended at the Vancouver Island Senior Girls ' Volleyball Tournament in Victoria. Brentwood played extremely well and finished fourth out of twenty-eight teams. Overall, I must conclude that it was one of the Girls ' most successful seasons ever! A heart-felt thank-you is owed to Mr. Stang who managed to live through the critical and crucial points of the season. SENIOR ' A ' GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM Back from left: N. Miner, J.

Ogilvie the Girls ' Seni or Basketball team made Brentwood history. With an outstanding league record, the girls progressed up the ranks until they were Provincial -. bound. And Francie Roberts led the way, as Mr. Ogilvie said, The results of Captain Francie Roberts ' performance were reflected in the way the team played and had the outstanding record it did in getting to the B.C. ' s for the first time ever. In league games alone Brentwood scored 771 points against the 477 points they allowed. Throughout the season the caliber of competition improved, as did the Brentwood girls. In the North Island tour- nament, Brentwood suffered a close loss to Port Hardy. Overall, they finished with a strong second and thus advanced to the Island tournament. After a weekend of constant play the girls achieved a third place standing on Vanouver Island. Not only did Francie Roberts and Bobbi-Ann Wiese score the majority of the team ' s points, they also earned all-star status for the tournament. With such a competitive performance, Brentwood qualified for the Provincials for the first time ever! At the B.C. ' s, the girls often faced a height disadvantage but nevertheless gave it everything they had. Francie finished first out ot the top ten scorers with 100 points and Bobbi-Ann had the highest free throw percentage of 79%. Both of them also had the highest three-point score of eight each. The creation of Sam also won the girls the award for Best Mascot. Over- all, Brentwood proudly finished tenth in the province. On behalf of the Senior Girls ' Basket- ball team, thanks Spunky!

Browett Front: C. Carlos, M. Roberts, M. Kalef, J. Carlson, K. Hsu On the first day back after the Christ- mas hohdays, with visions of sugar plums still dancing in their heads, the Junior Girls Basketball team plunged into their shortbut hectic season. With such an assortment of talent, age, and size, I knew that even get- ting a set of uniforms to fit was going to be a major challenge! However, after several much needed practises and games, the group soon began to take shape and work together as a team. In the early games, the team relied heavily on the more experienced players, Melanie Roberts and Mia Kalef, who were tireless in their efforts and who offered much needed assistance and guidance to their team mates. As the season pro- gressed, it was rewarding to see other play- ers begin to make an impact. Jennifer Browett emerged as the team ' s most con- sistent scorer, while Christine Carlos and Kim Hsu shone as solid defensive and of- fensive reboundcrs. In fact, by the end of the season, all of the girls developed into skillful basketball players. The highlight of the season was the semi-final game at the Mid-Island Tourna- ment against Lake Cowichan. With our captain on the bench due to injury, the teams battled to a 44-44 tie. The five minute overtime period was a frenzy of excitement and the lead changed hands as quickly as the ball. Unfortunately, we ran into foul trouble and were down to our last five players. Our opponents emerged with a narrow victory. Although the outcome was disappointing, it was certainly a great way to finish the season. From this group, most of the girls were be returning to the junior team again next year, but for those who are not I am sure they have gained some valuable expe- rience from playing this year. Although the team did not record an impressive number of wins, I consider the season a successful one because the team improved so much in such a short period of time. I thoroughly enjoyed coaching this past season and I would like to thank the entire group for their enthusiasm, their ef- forts, their humour, and for the bubbly - cheers! J.

SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL The Senior team had a mixed season this year, starting and finishing strongly, but losing momentum in the middle. Before Christmas, the team reached the final in the Shawnigan Invitational Tour- nament, having beaten SMU for the first time in three years. Unfortunately, we lost a early lead over Port Hardy who just squeaked by to make us runners-up by a 2 point margin . It was some consolation when Ross Kennedy was named Most Valued Player. After Christmas, we faced the uphill challenge of trying to catch up to the Public Schools whose strong teams had continued to play through the vacation. Although we played very competitive basketball in the North Island League, and defeated the other independent schools, we could not in the end match the public schools , three of whom reached the B.C. Provincial Finals. Nevertheless, by season ' s end we won the Independent Schools Association Tournament, beating SMU for a second time, a particularly sweet victory against their AA team. Both Ross Kennedy and Jason Brickner were selected as All Stars in the tournament, a fitting tribute to their prowess throughout the season. My thanks to Jason Brickner for his strength and support as Captain.I should also like to commend the efforts of the team as a whole throughout a season of particu- larly fierce competition . S. Cowie JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL This year the Junior Boy ' s Basket- ball Team worked hard, producing some excellent results during the short but busy season. After only one practice the team of eight players began competing. Undaunted by a loss, the eight worked hard to improve their skills and each individual learned how to contribute effectively as a member of the team. Tom ' sdetermination, and Chris ' and Kevin ' s work under the boards proved to be a successful combination time and time again in the games. Josh and James moved the ball with confidence on the floor, while Matthew, Jon, and Greg added support when required in exhausting games. The season culminated at the Mid- Island Tournament where Brentwood fin- ished in third position out of the six schools participating. At the I.S.A. Tournament, Brentwood finished in second place. With very little time to practise due to the number and frequency of games, it was impressive to see how hard working and dedicated these eight players were. The Junior Boy ' s Basketball Team made adjustments and adaptations when neces- sary, always striving to become a better- playing team. M. Stang JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL Back: J. Hoesli, C. Larson, K.

Thorbum, C. Beaudin, N. Misfeldt, Mr. Wynne (Coach) The cross-country group was smaller than usual this year but contained the cus- tomary mixture of experienced runners and raw novices. We embarked on a series of runs around the Lower Island and at- tempted to complete two hundred miles in the eight week term. An unfortunate mix- ture of minor and major infections made this target unattainable but a great deal of running experience was gained by every- one. I was absolutely deUghted when our team came first overall in the LS.A. Com- petition for the ninth year running. Sean Sinclair, Peter Andress and Jason Taylor proved to be the most successful runners in competition and Sean thor- oughly deserved his intermediate colors. Alex Bell showed great potential and dis- played a powerful, fluent style. Catherine Beaudin and Catherine Turner ran most of their miles together and were a great source of encouragement to each other. To their credit they completed all of their runs with- out any stops. Erin Campbell was the youngest of the group and perhaps the most courageous. She ran through ' shin splints ' and several falls to amass an impressive mileage. Kirsti Thorbum and Niki Mis- feldt both suffered debilitating injuries and had to rest in the latter part of the term. Jason Taylor ran many of his miles alone as he was under physiotherapy treatment for six weeks. If the sheer joy of running has been absorbed into the system then the hard work and the setbacks have all been worth- while. It has been a pleasure to share the trail with each and every one of you.

The remaining players, Elizabeth Bowen, Michelle Sheinin, Kirsti Thorbum, and captain Leanne Moore set a very good example to the younger players who came together in January. Some were skilled, others were athletic whilst others just tried hard to do what they were asked. A fter six weeks of skills training and the occasional game against the boys ' under- 1 5 team, we were ready for league play. The league began in late March with a game in Nanaimo, a perennial powerhouse, in atro- cious weather conditions. The girls played magnificendy (Heather came close to drowning on one save!) and held their opponents scoreless until the final two minutes of the game, losing 0-2. Then we defeated Lake Cowichan and Ladysmith, showing clearly that we had forwards who could score goals given sufficient support. The long Easter break caused a loss in fitness as revealed in rather decisive losses to Balleenas and Cowichan S.S.S. How- ever, we salvaged a degree of self-worth playing well in our final games with Ladys- mith and Albemi S.S.S., failing to make the play-off tournament by a single point. The school can feel justifiably proud of the way these young ladies represented them. As a young, inexperienced group they trained and played with keen competi- tive spirit, physical courage and a steadily increasing amount of skill and cohesion. Against teams drawing heavily from com- munity leagues they were found wanting for skill and experience, but playing against teams constituted as ours is we were their equals or better. I should like to thank each of the girls for her hard work and dedication to do so well. I should also congratulate Sabina, Treena and Heather for the mature way they handled the pressure of key positional responsibilities and Jennifer and Daintry for their overwhelming enthusiasm throughout. Leanne was an excellent cap- tain both on and off the field; we shall all miss her next season. I believe next season we can be even more competitive with our experience of this year and I look forward to seeing us reach the Island Tournament in May 1989. J.B.

We may have lacked a little talent with only two of last years players returning to the team, but we made up for it with enthusiasm and determina- tion. Early injuries of key players did not stop the team from performing. We always had the blessing before each game from Brendan Beiser. The team was very strong defensively with Matt Spearin, Hamish Mitchell, Brenton Wilke and Warren Bra- zier allowing only 4 balls into the net be- hind Peter Fenton. We scored 23 goals all season, 7 coming from Stuart Hunter. We were in the running for the ISA champion- ship until we came up against Shawnigan ' s best team in many years. They provided our only loss and tie. I would Uke to thank the team amd Mr. Garvey for their hard work and support all season. Good luck to next year ' s team. W.

The team looked promis- ingly strong from the moment we stepped on the ice and with the help of our newly acquired coach, Darren Thompson, we quickly refamiliarized ourselves with the game of hockey. Despite the immense amount of talent displayed by this diverse group of individuals, the first few games were, at best, marginal. The team however, soon began to play as a team and went on to finish the season in a strong manner. For the first time in five years, the ISA senior hockey championships was won by a Bren- twood team. A final word of thanks to Mr. Ross and head coach Darren Thompson for a job well done. M.

Charania SQUASH In 1987-1988, the Brentwood squash programme really blossomed. In all three terms students chose the sport in ever in- creasing numbers. Approximately 80 stu- dents played squash on a regular basis with another 80 students playing on a casual basis at least. At the top, our school team was very successful and an increasing number of junior tournaments and inter- school matches meant that dozens of inex- perienced players were also able to repre- sent Brentwood. The highlight of the year occurred in February when Brentwood hosted the first annual Independent Schools Association Championship. Our five man team of Stephen Hall, Richard Enthoven, David Heenan, Geoff StoUery and Chris Cornish, swept to victory losing only one match in fifteen. I would like to thank our Grade 12 squash players for helping to set that high standard. In addition to the three seniors on our first team, Chris Haigh, Max Brock, Andrea Decore, Nicole Heighington and David Ewing all contributed to the growth of the squash programme. As well as producing a good quality of competition, the Brentwood Squash Club amazed local squash organizers with our quantity of competition. We easily made up the largest contingent at British Colum- bia tournaments. For example, Brentwood sent 26 players to the Pacific Northwest Junior Tournament held in Victoria in January. Many players won prizes at such tournaments including Benito Berber, Travis Hunt, Robert Pierce, Jamie Mcln- tyre and Erica Osbum, in addition to our first team players. All of the players that have been named share the characteristics that should inspire all Brentwood squash players. As well as a willingness to work The Big 5: S. Hall, R. Enthoven, J. Stollery, C.

Osbum BADMINTON David (of Goliath-slaying fame) would have loved Brentwood - and may even have made the team ! Four years ago the school ' s badminton programme was a beginners- only session in the first term. It acted, in the minds of the unwitting, as a haven from the terror of the rugby field or a cosy indoor shelter from the rain , a delusion which only lasted as long as the first workout. Since then the club has grown in stat- ure and in performance and in this our third competitive year, the team made it all the way to the BC Provincial Finals, a remark- able achievement. After a number of exploratory matches the team finished second in the North Is- land Tournament tlien defeated Spectrum, much to their surprise, 7-4 in a playoff for the final Provincial berth. Our two singles players, Paul Berg and Debbie Reed, had the unfortunate task of playing the best corresponding players that the opposition had to offer, frequently ranked athletes either in BC or Canada. For most of the season, however, these two strong players led the team with some dominating performances. Our A Doubles pairs, Kaj Reynolds with Kelly Palmer and Norah Miner with Erica Osbum, also faced some tough matches but steadily improved with every game. The two girls did rather well at the finals winning 18out of 25 games. The team eventually finished in 12th po- sition with a record of 2 wins and 4 losses, not bad for the smallest school in the tour- nament. In the school competitions Paul Berg won the Oppenheimer Cup by defeating Kelly Palmer in the final and Erica Osbum won the Orr Cup by beating last year ' s winner, Debbie Reed. Debbie did win the prize for the most destructive player on the team after leaving a trail of broken strings and racquets all the way to the repair shop. The badminton team of 1988 had piz- zazz, performance, personality, promise and presence of mind - which other team has the memory of being marooned on the Malahat after dark? TX : 1988 187 TENNIS Coaching at Brentwood is somewhat akin to surfing. This is not to imply that tennis players are a bunch of wets but a metaphorical analysis of the action in- volved. The energy of the breakers is an apt comparison for the dynamic forces present in our sporting groups and the coach - riding the crest of the wave - has the best view, and often the greatest share, of the excitement. Thus the tennis season is an exploratory paddle in turbulent waters, a gathering force as matches get under way and a cres- cendo of activity battling the way to the ultimate goal - the BC provincial finals. Court life ceases when the wave crashes on the term-end shore and all we are left with is the high-water mark in the sand. In some seasons this mark is higher than others and so it was with the senior tennis team of 1988. The season began with the optimistic slogan ' 1988: the drive for 5 ' a reminder of the best ever finish by the school in the provincial finals - 6th in 1986 - and a desire to improve on that position. Firstly, of course, we had to reach those finals, no small task considering that the Island always provides some top class opposition and the powers-that-be had reduced the number of Island teams able to qualify from three to two. Early matches were quite flattering, we finished first in the North Island elimina- tion after beating our only serious threat, Nanaimo, in the final; the single nail-biling loss to Lambrick Park (leaving us in third place on the Island) was the only shower in a summer of success. To compete in the provincial champion- ships was no more than we deserved. The expedition to the UBC Tennis Centre was duly mounted. Memories here will be dominated by two events: the ' bam ' and again Lambrick Park. The ' bam ' was the polite name for the old UBC Armoury, our forced indoor venue for most of our matches after two days of rain. After emerging from the gloom into the Winding light of day we were then beaten for fifth place by Lambrick. The ' drive for five ' thus lost its wheels on the final straight but 6th place in the province and a 3rd appear- ance in the finals out of the last 5 years of competition are results to be proud of. In our own competitions Richard En- thoven took the Angus Trophy for the sec- ond time by defeating Adam Pekarsky in a sparkling final that showed just how much Brentwood tennis has advanced in the last few years. Erica Osbtun became the sec- ond grade ten student to win the Porter Cup when she defeated Georgie Enthoven in the final. The girls ' trophy has not gone to a grade 12 student for the last three years. As usual at the end of the season the coach settles the profit and loss account. The final score reads: 20 matches com- pleted (the inevitable few lost to rain), 16 wins and 4 losses, the most games played since we began serious competition in 1983,1st place in the boys Independent Schools Tournament and 2nd place in the girls. Countering all these rosy figures is the sombre realisation that eight members of the team graduate and will no longer be with us next season. Ah well, time to paddle out for next year ' s wave.

As well as the increased enrolment, there was also increased support among the students in the form of memberships to the British Colum- bia Weightlifting Association. Member- ship fees went towards purchasing a weigh- lifting bench as well as one hundred pounds of free weights. The weight room was also frequented by other sports teams, the most pro minent of those being our first eight rowing crew. Their hard work and dedication served as an excellent example for the rest of the students to follow. In the coming year there are plans to increase the number of teams using the weight room and to continue to upgrade the facility through the purchase of newer, more modem equipment. P.E.

Sixteen Brentwood students joined the Cowichan Golf Club as junior members and played golf as their sport during the summer term. All of them had fun, most of them improved and a few of them showed real potential. The school team of Tom Carney, Drew Fafard, Rob Berg, Benito Berber, and Terry Barraclough competed in the North Van- couver IsUuid High School Tournament and did very well, but just failed to advance to higher competition. Top scores were Drew (84), Tom (85) and Rob (85). In the school championship. The Rob Soukop Memorial Tournament, the top results (over 36 holes) were: 1st: 2nd: 3rd: 4th: Benito Berber Tom Carney Drew Fafard Rob Berg 84 + 88 = 172 90 + 86= 176 83 + 96= 179 85 + 98= 183 Other finishers: (5th) Terry Barra- clough, (6th) Dale Preston, (7th) Mike McDermid, (8th) Dean Fortier, (9th) Jean- Marie Ingarfield. To protect the innocent, the scores of the other finishers are not to be published! Let it just be said that they got a lot of exercise swinging the club. At the end of the term, the usual staff versus student match was an enjoyable encounter. The students won the scries of matches by a single point, with the victor) going to Tom Carney who finished his match birdie-birdie-birdie, snatching vic- tory from Mr. Wynne who may never re- cover from the shock and ignominy of losing after being 3 up with 4 to play!

Despite the wettest Spring on record, we rarely missed a day on the road, although in April and some of May we often rode in track suits to keep warm! This year I was particularly pleased to see the enrollment of more juniors in the club. Our two Grade 8 ' s (Michael Ander- son and Drew Belobaba) and David Sorley of Grade 9 were keen and enthusiastic and did very well to keep up with the thirteen senior cyclists. Indeed all three of them completed the 22 km. Tour du Lac Cycle Race at Shawnigan. Ten of our cyclists entered the Tour du Lac Race, which this year saw a record number of 200 entrants. Our top placed rider was Alex Bell who finished in a commendable time of 35:36, just4 minutes behind the winner. Our next three finishers were Brent Phillips (36:36), Lach Mitchell (38:22) and Seba Legge 40:36). Congratu- lations to all who participated! Our training rides were the usual ones around Shawnigan Lake, up the Malahat and towards Duncan and Cobble Hill. Rec- reational rides included visits to Bright Angel Park, Cherry Point and, perhaps the high spot, an all day tour across Saltspring Island accompanying the girls and Mrs. Jackson. I would like to thank all the boys for their support and cheerful company and wish the six graduating members all the best. GP FIELD HOCKEY BOYS 1st XI Back: M. Robertson, R. Harrison, G. StoUery, G.

Many of the players were completely new to the game and gained valuable experience from the coaching and the games played. -The field conditions were excellent throughout the term and even the Lansdowne pitches in Victoria were in better condition than I have ever seen them. Shawnigan provided us with regular competition and we were unbeaten by them, but the Victoria juniors from Cedar Hill and Esquimalt were very skillful and game hardened and we failed to win any that three of the juniors played regularly for senior teams. David Crook was very reliable in goal and kept the losing games to a one goal deficit. Matthew Zeitler displayed good stick skills at full back and was well sup- ported by David Loewen and Robert Ares. The halfbacks were co-ordinated by one of our faithful females, Courtcnay Wolfe, assisted by Cara Dickinson and Andrew Housser. The punch in the front line was suppled by Stephen Hall, a novice but in- credibly skillful right wing, Colin Scott and Mia Kalcf on the left wing, Angeline Gei- ger and Matthew Coles in the centre. Among the most improved players on the large squad were Jamie Crosby, Todd BoUi, Wade Pitts, Aaron Sweet and David Markham. Many of these young players will be travelling to Tobago and Barbados in the spring of ' 89 and there they will gain much valuable experience for next season. S. Wynne It seems that resilience is almost a pre- requisite of membership to the Track and Field club. Somehow one is reminded of Kipling ' s famous lines in If - If you can keep your track programme, when all around you are losing theirs . Neverthe- less, despite the difficulties and the lack of official competition, this year ' s hardy band soldiered on good-humouredly, working hard throughout. Indeed, success was encountered in all of the external competitions we entered, with the performance of a handful of boys at the Island Championships being of par- ticular note. There, the relay squad of Niels Hunter, Troy Soenen, Paul Berg and Rudy Enzmann came second overall to qualify for the B.C. ' s. Rudy Enzmann also quah- fied in the long jump with a very creditable third, as did Iain Goff with a similar place in the Shot Putt. Also worthy of note was the performance of Troy Soenen who came fourth in the final of the 400M, losing out to three impressive Club athletes. Deprived of many of the better athletes, the track programme will continue to struggle along, but the fact that this year ' s group was almost entirely made up of younger students augurs well for the future.

Often in addition to their other sports commitments, dedicated aquatics enthusiasts have again competed in both Swimming and Water Polo, and partici- pated actively in new courses including the Royal Life Saving Fitness Award, Red Cross Standard First Aid, CPR certifica- tions, and an exciting new programme. Synchronized Swimming. Brentwood continues to be the first and only B.C. school to participate in the B.C. Water Polo Championships in the fall, when Paul Anderson at the Cadet level and Aaron Sisett at the Juvenile level were elected to the tournament all-star teams. At home, the water polo team enjoyed a first place success at the Vancouver Island Polo Playdowns, hosted at the school. In Swimming there were very strong competitive performances at The Regional Swim Meet in Victoria in October, the I.S.A. Girls Swim Meet in Duncan in November, and the B.C. High Schools Provincial Championships in Victoria in November Particularly noteworthy were Sita Rao ' s sweep of firsts in the I.S.A., and the achievements in the B.C. Provincial Championships of Donny Walker (bronze medal in 50m breast) and David Markham who capped his bronze medal in the 50m freestyle with his gold medal victory in the 50m breast stroke in which he set a new B.C. record of 3 1 .66 seconds. Congratula- tions to David, Donny and Sita, and to all the members of the Brentwood Swim Team. Brentwood also hosted for the first time a National Lifeguard Service course, the highest attainable hfeguarding award and we congratulate the following who earned it this year : Sean Sinclair, Sandy Hilton, Sita Rao, Elizabeth Boyer, Jeanette Page, Peter Andress, Leanne Moore, Mike Fan- tillo, Andrew Ross and Seba Legge. This year ' s scuba diving courses in- cluded both beginner and advanced levels, and was highlighted by a magnificent weekend at Bamfield ' s Tyee Lodge. Fi- nally, 30 students gained certification in marine radio operation and marine emer- gency first aid through the Coast Guard Auxiliary Programmme. We would like to thank all Aquatics students for their enthusiasm and support throughout the year. Alistair and Ruth Jackson SYNCHRO SWIMMERS From left : T. Maier, L.Addison, K.

Belobaba SAILING The year opened on a familiar note as we demonstrated, to the horror of the new recruits, how to capsize and right a Laser. The possibility that sailboats are capable of turning over had, apparently, not crossed their minds. Wet foot marks could be seen leading to Mr. Bunch ' s office as reluctant matelots jumped ship and turned to pottery or typing. Assisted by Mr. Pennells, whom I had luckily intercepted on his way to the office, training of the new, and polishing of the old members began. Our first regatta in Vancouver with this year ' s team led us to revise our tactics and get back to the basics. Long hours were spent in careful study of some excellent video material from the CYA and a marked improvement in per- formance soon became evident. Over the October mid-term the old school building was demolished and with it our home . We were housed temporarily in a small lean-to as a storage shed while the boats were placed on a bed of hog fuel next to a much reduced foreshore. Inevitably things were slowed down as a result, but training continued. Late in the fall the school took the deci- sion to sponsor a coastguard station to serve both Brentwood College and the local community. In preparation for this the sailing club joined in much of the prelimi- nary work, with a number of its members becoming qualified in radio operation and first aid. After Christmas we returned to the rac- ing circuit and although we did not enjoy any spectacular success we were obviously much improved. We were also aided in our endeavours by Mr. Beaudin ' s kind dona- tion of a brand new Laser, a boat that went on to win many races with, who else, but Ernie Beaudin at the helm. Towards the end of the second term we experienced a set-back when Mr. Pennells was suddenly required for other duties in the school. For a brief while we had the help of Mr. O ' Fee, but his plans shortly took him away from the college, hurried along perhaps by the thought of a term with the salon des refuses from Mr. Bunch ' s office. Thus in the final term the club was handled by myself and the captain of sail- ing, Sandy Hilton, who pitched in will- ingly. During the last few weeks of the term we tried valiantly to get back from Shawni- gan Lake School both the Rogers Cup and the Independent Schools Trophy but, al- though our performance was markedly better than it had been in ' 87 we could not quite bring it off, despite superior perform- ances from both Sandy Hilton and Ernie Beaudin. The year did end on an upbeat note however with a win by Alec Smith in the Laser class at the Maple Bay Regatta. Next year is very much an unknown quantity. The lean-to shack has gone and we are once again without a home. The SLS team will apparently remain intact while we say fare- well to our four best sailors, and the mal- contents to whom I keep showing the tennis courts and computer rooms insist they are coming back to sailing. Jumping ship this year are Ernie Beaudin, Kelly Cable, Sandy Hilton and Tony Ivancic. To them we extend the old sailors admonition: Don ' t go near the water. This is no idle message either; Tony Ivancic has delusions of becoming a coastal pilot, and visions of the Andrea Doria keep floating through my mind. Yes, it has been a mixed year, but it has also been one that has produced a group with the best team spirit for many years, and that has shown the club at its resourceful best.

Livingstone, G. Bayley (Cox) ROWING: THE YEAR IN REVIEW Following the successes of the Senior boys in 1987 we set about expanding the ac- tivities of the Club and focussing our en- ergy into those areas where success was hard to find. To this end we were able to find the coaches that could cope with the di- versity of talent, age and size of the students who turned out to row in September. These same coaches along with the senior oars- men also had to cope with the demoUtion of our old but familiar building and relocation in our temporary faciUty in the old gymna- sium. Somehow we struggled through these adversities and came up with the best competitive season in the history of our Club. A special mention must be made of our girls programme which enjoyed a very strong resurgence under the leadership of coach Pat Steinbrink and captain Peta Fraser. Not only did we win at the Cana- dian Scholastic Championship in the senior girls coxed four but we went down to Se- attle, the home of the best girls rowing in North America, and won the senior coxed four there as well. In the boys Colt division we had been reeling from repeated losses in all boat divisions but with a large recruiting drive in the Fall under the direction of our new coach, Brian Carr, we went from strength to strength and became the leading Colt crew in the Pacific Northwest by the 206 end of the racing season. event in Victoria because our normal site No article on rowing would be complete was taken over by the building, but this did without a mention of the Brentwood Re- not daunt John and his host of volunteers gatta and the exceptional work done by the from the staff and the event went off with its Regatta Chairman, John L.

Park (Cox) BOYS HEAVYWEIGHT CREWS Five oarsmen and one coxswain re- turned from our very successful tour of Europe in the summer of 87 and they were joined by two full crews of Colts and Jay- vees who were eager to compete for places in the varsity crew. Training in the Fall went very well with the emphasis being placed on development of stroke technique and general aerobic fitness. We entered the usual long distance races with the Univer- sity crews and got the usual trouncing that was appropriate for our state of preparation at that time. It was the decision of the crew members to aim for the Canadian Champi- onships in June and as a result they settled into a long period of serious preparation at school and at home during the vacation. The second term in the early stages was devoted to training and Erg regattas. Cam Andrews won the Junior Competition for under eighteen males and Brian Baird scored highly in the senior B group thus earning an invitation to the National Selec- tion Camp in February. Our long disUince races turned up no success either, losing both the Shawnigan Head Race and Uie Elk Lake Spring regatta to our local rivals, Shawnigan, in each case by a very narrow, one second margin. Prospects l(x:)kcd very bleak for our third term racing season but the crew made a serious comniiimcni to their spring vacation training, to try to turn things around. The final term was preceded by a train- ing camp in Mill Bay. For the first few days we were without our Rugby tourists but we nevertheless managed some high quality workouts. By the opening of term we had set the boat and were working on develop- ing endurance and race pace. In order to earn the use of our yellow Empachcr the crew were committed to an erg test on the Gjessing Ergometer in which they had to show an average improvement of 100 revo- ludons. They exceeded this level by fifty percent and so moved into their racing machine for the regatta season. The results are listed as follows: Brentwood Regatta Varsity 8 1st place, Varsity double 1 st place. Varsity S ingle 1st place. Varsity four 3rd place. Opening Day Seattle Freshmen 8 1st place. Junior 8 1st place (JV crew) Pacific Northwest Championships ' ar- sity 8 won the Junior Schools race, the Stewards Cup for univcrisites, the Club 8 for Ofx n Men.

Paterson, R. Kennedy, C. Andrews (Captain), G. Livingstone, G. Bayley (Cox) IfROM ST. CATHARINE ' S TO MILAN: CHAMPIONSHIP ROWING CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS St. Catharines ' s, Ontario. May 1988 It is hard to describe the events that occur at these Championships. Coaches, oarsmen and parents all get a very different perspective of the races and the events leading up to and following those same races. I can only give my own impressions of the Varsity crew of 88 at St. Catharines. We had only two days to become re-ac- quainted with our shells and learned the pe- culiarities of the race course. Fortunately we had many old hands from last year ' s successful junior crews including the cox- swains and this made the job considerably easier. For the first time in many years there were heats on Friday for 6 hours , heats or semi-finals on Saturday for 12 hours before the finals on Sunday. This was the biggest regatta ever with the 1800 athletes saturating many events so that there were 48 Junior mens coxed fours, and 44 senior mens coxed fours but only 1 1 senior eights. Brentwood crews did extremely well in qualifying for finals and in the varsity divi- sion all four entries made it through in fine style. We were well accommodated in the air conditioned comfort of the Parkway Hotel and the crews were well rested before their big day. Our pre-final dinner was held out on the shores of Lake Ontario and the crews returned to the hotel for the nightly bowling competition before retiring early to try to sleep through their nervousness. Final Day dawned and the Varsity crew went down to the course for a relaxation row and final check of the rigging. Follow- ing the check someone would stay with the boat all day to ensure that no one could tamper with the equipment. Now came the long wait for the crews, the nervous looking at the watches, the crew meetings and psy- che-up sessions that precede all these championship races. No such free time for the coach who spends the whole day at the site, going over every item on the shell and preparing each crew in turn as they get ready for their race. The first race was the double scull. Erik Gotfredsen and Cam Andrews had enjoyed a very successful season in B.C. and were unbeaten in Junior races for the year. They started the race as favourites having won the fastest semi-final with lots of room to spare. They jumped into an early lead in their final race and held off all challenges to finish with a two length margin at the finish line. While Erik and Cam were standing on the podium receiving their medals another race was under way - the heavy coxed four. They were in a tremendous battle in mid race not having had the advantage of a great start. Dennis Morris and Ridley were fight- ing for the lead while our boys were a boat length behind with 600 metres to go. Stroke Greg Livingstone put the crew into passing gear and they powered their way through the field. With 400 metres to go they took the lead and coxswain Chris Park went wild. He drove the crew to the finish line and finished with one full length open at the line. Then it was their turn at the podium to receive the gold medals and the coveted trophy. Now it was the turn of the eight to show its paces. Five of the crew had already raced and won but they had more than three hours of rest before the big race. They would take every precaution to ensure their victory; the hull was polished, rigging tightened, rowlocks lubricated and oars cleaned. They walked to the water with their black hoods up, looking straight ahead and walking in step. They left the dock fully focussed on the race ahead and warmed up in the training lanes behind the starting gates. The crew got into the start- ing gates and, looking neither right nor left, got mentally set for the start. Are you ready? Then the sound of the horn. We were off, rowing at 46 strokes to the minute and already edging out on the field of six shells. Greg Livingstone, the stroke of the crew, brought the rate down to 37 and the oarsmen settled into driving the hull along as fast as they could. Before reaching the first pylon they were out by more than one length and the race was esentially over. Brentwood cruised over the line in 4 min. 22 sec. to win the Heavy Eight Champion- ship. Thomi Keller, the president of F.I.S.A., the world rowing federation, pre- sented the Calder Cleland Memorial Tro- phy to the Brentwood crew. This is the most coveted and most expensive of all trophies competed for in Canada (esti- mated worth $250,000). It was a very proud moment for our young men. WORLD JNR. CHAMPIONSHIPS Milan, Italy, August. 1988 The successful crews in the senior di- vision of the Canadian Championships were given the opportunity to represent their country in the World Junior Champi- onship in August. They travel to Milan, Italy to race on the Idrascalo Race course for the Championships being held August 3rd to 7th. In the coxed four all participants come from Brentwood College. They are: Stroke Greg Livingstone, Edmonton, Three Cameron Andrews, West Van. Two Tom Mitchell, West Van. Bow Bruce Paterson. Lethbridge Cox Chris Park. Prince George This crew not only won the Canadian School Championships but also the B.C. Open race in their division. They are pres- ently training on Bumaby Lake and are moving very well. They hope to place very highly in the international competition. The straight pair is comprised of Chris Haigh (Calgary) from Brentwoood and Stewart Haliday from Shawnigan. They were selected as spares for the four but will race in the coxless pairs events at the Cham- pionships. We are all very much looking forward to the challenge and excitement of world class competition. A. C. Carr 211 JUNIOR VARSITY 8 Mr. Allpress, M. Patterson, M. Fantillo, J. Lonsdale, D. Wiren, D. Schneider, M. Duffy, J,. Aitken, K. Blaauw, N. Edstrand (Cox) Opening Day, Seattle April 30th, 1988 The J.V. crew had an extremely success- ful competitive season. They were B.C. High School and Pacific Northwest cham- pions in the Junior Varsity category in both the eight and the coxed four. The highUght of the local season was their performance at Seattle Opening Day. With our varsity crew in the university freshman race, they competed in the High School Eight Event against other schools ' first crews and won an extremely exciting race. At the Cana- dian High Schools Championships in St. Catharines the crew were silver medallists in a closely contended race which they lost by less than a second. I have coached most of these oarsmen for two seasons, some for three, and more than any crew that I have worked with in the past, these oarsmen have earned their suc- cess. I have enjoyed coaching them and thank them for their dedication and fx;rse- verance. J.C. All press A large sign-up in September resulted in the formation of two eights. Six of the ' 87 gold medal junior boat were back and formed the nucleus of the A boat. The B boat was, at that time, very inexperienced and ' rough ' but, as time went on, they gained both expertise and confidence. By the start of the racing season there were able to compete on level terms with the A boat and even to beat them on occasion. The Brentwood Regatta, the first of the major high school competitions, saw the two eights finish first and second respec- tively out of seven entries and, from that point on, the B boat carried the high school lightweight division on their own with complete success. The A boat, due to tour the UK in June and July, were entered into the men ' s divi- sion to gain some experience of tough rac- ing and they managed to hold their own creditably well. It was necessary to main- tain progress with this crew without having them peak too early and this was by no means easy. Meanwhile, the B boat prepared for the Canadian Championships but, due to the presence of several ' old men ' in the crew, had to challenge the senior division - al- ways a very tough undertaking. Twelve crews were entered and, in the semifinal heat, we found ourselves pitted against two of the three fastest Ontario crews. The race was disappointing in as far as the crew handled the strong tail-wind badly, but, nevertheless, they qualified for the final. The big race the following day, however, produced a superb performance and the crew gained the bronze medal behind Lakeport and Upper Canada, two very fine crews. The race, tipped to be the race of the day, was a real barnstormer and the Bren- twood crew certainly produced its best per- formance to date. They can be justly proud of their achievement. As I write this, there are just three weeks to go before the A boat leaves for its three- week tour of the UK. Recent practices have seen real progress in boat speed and tech- nique. We shall hope to report a happy outcome to the tour later. Altogether it was a very satisfying sea- son for the Lightweights and for their coach. J. L.

Markham, J. Gostlin, G. O ' Brien, L. Philp, J.Gray, J. Pettit, D. Walker, A. Parker The group arrived at Heathrow to find the legendary cloud and drizzle which was to characterise every single day of the trip. We had only two days then, before com- petition at Henley started. In the eight we had been drawn against Salisbury School form Connecticut, and at an average weight in excess of 30 lbs. more than ours they were able to beat us over the long course without too much difficulty. The four, incredibly, was drawn against the Cana- dian Olympic crew - enough said. On the first Saturday we traveled up to Huntingdon where we emerged as finalists in no less than four separate divisions. (English regattas are usually rowed on riv- ers, and the crews are raced off two at a time until only two finalists are left). Unfortu- nate breakages caused us to lose two of these finals. In another we were outclasses, but won the fourth. A very pleasant eve- ning at the Huntingdon Rowing Club fol- lowed. The first week of the tour provided the opportunity to visitBlenheim Palace, Strat- ford-upon-Avon and Oxford. The second week started with a two-day visit to Devon, as guests of Shebbear College, where we also had a social row with Bideford Rowing Club and spent another pleasant evening with the oarsmen and their families. A cricket match against Shebbear ' s Junior Colts was quite horrible to watch, but pro- vided some fun and light relief - and, amaz- ingly, we won! Then to Bedford where we trained hard during the week, but managed a day in Cambridge, visited Kings Chapel and saw the magnificent Reubens painting there. Two full days of racing followed at the weekend. Nearly 400 races took place and again we emerged as finalists in the eight and four but were pipped by Bedford School 1st 8 in the eights and by Windsor Boys School in the fours. The former provided an incredibly fast time of 1 min. 44 s. for the 650 metre course, the fastest time of the day. From Bedford to London and the final week of the tour - we stayed at a hotel close to Hampton Court and trained out of Molesey Rowing Club, sharing the water with Holmes and Redgrave, the British Olympic Pair, and with part of the British Youth Squad preparing for the World Championships in Milan. A short train ride into the centre of London on the second day provided most with their first sight of the huge city. We visited B.C. House first and met the Agent General. From there a short walk down to Westminster, Big Ben, etc. when, crossing the Mall, the whole tour nearly came to an abrupt end with twelve Canadians in jail. Just after we crossed the wide road a black limousine flashed by and a riot broke out. Police appeared in huge numbers in trucks and on horses, and a bystander would have been amused to see a Brentwood rowing coach frantically trying to extricate his charges from a brawl which they were only too ready to get involved with. We later learned that the incident had contained the Turkish P.M. on his way to visit the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The following day provided an opportu- nity for the boys to visit those places of interest in London which appealed to them most, or just to shop. Andrew and Jason in particular made most of this free day! On the penultimate day of the tour we competed at Molesey Regatta where again we battled through an interminable number of heats and emerged as winners in both eight and four. The boys conducted themselves fault- lessly throughout and left this coach feeling only pride and satisfaction with the genuine warmness of the reception they received everywhere. Seventeen wins over three weeks was an impressive record. To put this in perspective, it should be noted that only once did we race against another lightweight crew, and that was at Huntingdon against Oxford University. All other competition was against open weight or open age crews or both. It says a great deal that, despite this disadvantage, the Brentwood Lightweights won so many races. A memorable tour in every way! J.L. Queen The 8 heading up to tlic stiirt COLTS ROWING In September, the under 16 rowing programme looked very weak with 40 novice athletes and a new coach. With Mr. Tessier and Mr. Purdon, however, we were able to split this group into the Colt Lightweights, Blade Runners, and the Colt Heavies. By Christmas we had made little progress, and by the start of March it still looked grim. From mostly nov- ice rowers, we had to produce four crews to race in one month. The pressure was on and the students real- ized this. Something happened, and suddenly we had four crews who were learning to race. The regatta season wa.s upon us, and we were not only to be surprised but overwhelmed by the results. We won the Brentwood Regatta, the B.C. Championships, and the Pacific Northwest Championships in the 8, the first time in four years we had beaten the Shawnigan Colts. In the 4 we won the B.C. Championships, the Pacific Northwest Championships, and the Shawnigan Regatta, the first time in the last five years we have won these races. The Colts B ' s came up against a very good novice crew from Hillside and narrowly lost to them Jirough the season. Mr. Tessier, Mr. Purdon and I felt very fortunate to be coaching such a promising group of athletes, and con- gratulate the boys on a memorable season. Brian Carr COLT A Mr. B. Can- (Coach), S.

Renfrey GIRLS ' ROWING The novice and senior girls ' rowing pro- grams both experienced a very successful year, achieving championships at the pro- vincial and national levels. The first regatta of the year was the Head of Shawnigan, which gave everyone a chance to get their feet wet . The Bren- twood regatta served as an initiation to the regatta scene for the novices. The crews ex- perienced a large and well organized com- petition which prepared them for future regattas in Seattle and for some seniors, St. Catharine ' s. The BC Championships provided an op- portunity to meet the local competition and some Americans. First place finishes by Brentwood were achieved in the Women ' s 8+, 4+, 2X and 2- and Novice 8+. The tune-up for St. Catharine ' s was in Seattle where we met the strong American girls and some collegiate women. The Senior 4+ defeated all in the Intermediate Women ' s 4+. Other first place finishes were in the 4X+, 2X, and Novice 8+. The performance in Seattle was commendable! The highlights of this rowing year were the Senior Women ' s 4+, winning a gold medal, and the Junior Women ' s 4+ win- ning a bronze, at the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Championships in On- tario. Ten girls. Erica Gunn, Samara Walbohm, Peta Fraser, Niki Misfeldt, Claudia Fritzsche, Danielle Andrews, Sigi Otto, Jennifer Bartlett, Karl Swan and Debbie Reed represented BrentvvDodjn St. Catharines and rowed in five events; Sen- ior 4+, Junior 4+, IX, 2X, and 2-. All five boats advanced to the finals and Peta Fraser placed fourth in the IX, Peta Fraser and Samara Walbohm placed sixth in the 2X and Sigrid Otto and Jennifer Bartlett placed fourth in the 2-. Congratulations girls on a job well done! We would like to thank Mr. Carr, Mr. Queen, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Tessier, Chris Dendas and supporting parents.
