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

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.

Tom Andrews (1959) — Toms ability to know when to be serious and when to relax has enabled him to help lead the school as a School Prefect and the class in academics. He was a consistent player on the Second XV and stroke of the Second VIII with which he invades Europe this summer. Next year he plans to return home, across the border, to go to college, where we hope his helpful and consid- erate manner will leave its mark as it did on Shawnigan. Ian Angus (1961)— With or without champagne Ian has been a valuable mem- ber of our grade. With his tastes running somewhat to the luxurious and his knees not permitting him to run at all, he has added that high Angus spirit to all his activities. A Ripley ' s House Prefect and a member of the forthcoming tour, his future is cut out for him. But it is his present that he is probably worried about, and what could be better? Mark Appleton (1958) — Mark - always quiet, always well-dressed, always sincere - has fulfilled his duties excellently as School Prefect and head of Groves ' House. On the playing fields he has always contributed a maximum effort to achieve maximum results in Rugby, Track and Field or whatever he has tried his hand, and legs, at. Out of school he will have no problems with his philosophy of eat, drink, and be merry and we hope he has all success with his ambition to become at least the richest man in the world, even if it means marrying the richest woman. Paul Bauman (1961) —Paul is a lighthearted guy who steers a middle course in all his affairs. He keeps his business to himself and is never involved in other people ' s problems, though most of the time he is courteous and considerate. In his years here he has played rugby with dogged persistence and spent his summers playing cricket. Next year he plans to study medicine at U.B.C. Paul Baylis (1958)— If Paul were to attend a concert of Bach, or a production of Madame Butterfly, he would probably end up counting the number of seats in the theatre, or perhaps rolling his tie up into little knots. But if he were to see some poor soul attempting to erect a stage in a day, and doing it backwards, Paul would soon have replaced him and the stage would be up in a few hours, the right way round. This is Paul. No one attacks a job with more energy and ingenuity than Paul does and no one devotes more study time to sleeping than does Paul. Shawnigan owes much to him: as leader of the cadet corps, as an outstanding athlete, and as a school prefect. As for the future, Paul plans to enter the R.C.M.P. 79
