Masters ' Valdt Mr. John Brierley— As a form master for IX-2, and Junior House Master. John endeared himself to all. A man of many parts - student and sportsman, he has a bright future ahead of him. His modesty and amiability has set a fine example. As he takes his leave to further his education in t he great seats of learn- ing in England our best wishes go with him for the best possible future. Mr. Farrally— Rick has made the circuit - from Shawnigan to Denmark, and back to Shawnigan. Although here for only a year to fill in for Mr. Hyde-Lay, he has done admirable work. Although feigning not to be much interested in rugby successes (the game is the thing) , he was seen to chortle after certain wins of the First XV. Most boys in the school are under the impression that no shoe stores exist in Denmark inasmuch as all Danes at all times walk on their hands . . . great stuff, boy! We all wish him a happy summer in Lethbridge, and success at Exeter. Mr. Kshatriya — From five years University in Bombay, and another five years in U.B.C., it is not an easy transition to be transplanted suddenly into a situation where one is expected to teach Science and Mathematics at the Grade X level. However, Mr. Kshatriya always adopted a friendly attitude towards students and Staff alike, and fitted into the life of the school in a commendable manner. Our best wishes go with him in his new post at Burnaby where his superior talents will find greater scope, teaching at the Grade XIII level; and we shall look forward to seeing him from time to time in the future. Dr. Porter— Dr. Porter has been at the helm of the Science Department for the past five years. During that time he has built up the well-equipped laboratories in both Physics and Chemistry, and laid the foundations for sound scientific reasoning and research among his students. He was fond of fishing, his pipe, good food and ghost stories, but had little time for such trivia as tri-weeklies and com- mon room duties. To both himself and Mrs. Porter go our very best wishes for the future. For their friendly hospitality we are greatly indepted. Mr. Wilden — Mr. Wilden, a true scholar, is now leaving to enter Johns Hopkins where he will study for his doctorate. While at Shawnigan he distinguished him- self in his ability and agility in handling the intracacies of Latin and French, and in his spare time he organized a philosophy club in which matters of great import were freely and openly discussed. He also played prominent roles in drama and debates. To Mr. and Mrs. Wilden and familv we say. May happiness and success be in store for vou in the future.

Bill Keate and Peter Nissen have shared the duties of Sacristan in their usual capable way. Tony Conklin has dutifully taken charge of Servers and their services in the Sanctuary; while Donald Ingledew has reverently acted as Crucifer. Adult friends have generously helped us by their personal work and gifts; so that we have been able to proceed with improving the appearance of the building with the refurnishing of the Sanctuary, the addition of pendent lights, and still more hand-worked kneelers. To all these we extend our grateful thanks; and we wish also to express our indebtedness to the Headmaster for his part in the conduct of Chapel Services, as well as for his unswerving support in all phases of the religious life of the School.

Well, I guess Big Al has proved the point. In everything that he has done, and he has done practically everything, he has en- riched both his own and the school ' s life. In the classroom studying he has earned his School Color. On the field playing on the First XV, and on the lake, rowing for the First VIII, he has chaulked up two more games Colors. But as if this were not enough, Al has been integral in many of the clubs - Debating, Philosophy, the Stag and the class newspaper . . . and the list goes on. Everyone who knows Al ' s consideration, good-nature, unselfish manner and his example knows the fundamental part he has played as Head Boy in making this year such a great one. He receives the thanks of his class and of his school. 78
