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

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

Hal Bell-Irving (I960)— Whether working in the Rowing Club, driving the coach boat or sculling on the lake, Hal has always had a friendly, cheerful smile for everybody. Apart from his interests in the Rowing Club, he has had time to construct and fix many an amplifier and radio set up in the Rad Shack. ' In all, it has been an unrecognized but productive three years for Hal at Shawnigan and we look forward to hearing news of him in the future. Dave Bentley (I960)— Five years ago Dave emerged from darkest Mau-Mau, Kenya, and ever since he has enlivened the class with his quick wit and his abstract cartoons. Yet we have recognized him for far more than this in those years. He has kept up his studies and as a result has his School Color in academics. As a School Prefect, he has taken a large share of responsibility. But Dave is best known for his art, and his membership in the Stag Club stands for the contribu- tions he has made with those talented fingers and his artistic appreciation - whether applied to the Stag, the stage settings, the school newspaper or merely producing one-third of the school ' s art display. Dave - his wit and his brush - have added a color to the school which shall be missed. Tony Conklin (1958)— This has been a full year for Mitch. As manager of everything: the Ritz, the Track Team, and School notices, and as secretary of most things: the Dance Committee, the Debating Society, ... he has certainly made many behind the scenes contributions to school life. In rugby, he aspired to the enviable position of Captain of the undefeated Third XV; in addition, he played an evasive and energetic game of Soccer. Whatever career he chooses we are all confident that he will do himself credit and become one of our more famous old boys. Dave Craig (1953)— Dave has always been one of the keenest and yet quietest boys in the class. His industry has made him successful in all his activities - as a leading player on the First XV, the First XI and as a School Prefect. His sincere attitude in both the class and other fields will help Dave do well in his chosen profession. The University of Victoria awaits his arrival next year. Pat Cromie (1958)— Pat ' s talents are found particularly in the graceful sports. He is an excellent skier and a talented skate-board artist. He played on the Third XV and helped lead them to their undefeated season. Never knowing whether he is being serious or just making an imps jest, Pat has enriched Copeman ' s House with much laughter and smiles. We wish Pat the best of luck in whatever he does in the future. 20
