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

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
