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

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

Ilji Christopher Curtis (1954)— ' Chris ' is a student of long-standing at Shawni- gan and in fact his accumulated years have made him the honorary historian or story-teller of the school: not to mention the fact that he has managed to elbow his way into the nobility, as the landed gentry of the community. Chris ' percolat- ing personality has been a valuable asset to the school and though he is not an avid sportsman, he has played his part well and is coxing our second VIII in Europe this summer. Even after all these years, it will be with regret that we say goodbye to Chris. Mike Davidson ( 1962) —Hartley, a member of the 12A-Copeman ' s House Non- Aggression Pact, has always been a quiet and effective member of the school. A spirited and talented cross-country runner (he has even cultivated a fast-back hairdo to increase his speed) as well as an accomplished dancer and lady-killer, his future is uncertain. But it looks as if he is on the way to becoming a doctor. Good luck Mike! Ted Gardiner (1959)— Quiet, unimposing, always smiling, Ted has made a greater contribution to Shawnigan during the past six years than he would care to boast about. Rowing on the Second VIII and playing a hard game of rugby for the mighty fourth ' s, ' ' he has always been a credit to his school. As a senior he excelled in all his actiivties and his contributions to the general feeling of his house are unmeasurable. Dave Gardner (1963)— Judson came to Shawnigan last year out of the wilds of Worcester ' (Mass.) . Immediately he became known as a happy-go-lucky singer and this year his group has spent many hours preparing themselves for their nightclub performances. Although used to ways of football, Dave has adapted himself to a driving, powerful wing on the Second XV. His flashy smile and good natured ways will always be on his side. John Garraway (1961)— If there was a dull moment at Shawnigan, we could depend on John to lighten it with one of his stories d ' extraordinaire. ' His great drive enabled him to be an effective player on the first fifteen and a leading light to Ripley ' s in Inter-House sports. This summer he will be touring Europe and we are sure the continent will be a little more lively while he is there. Indeed, it will probably take many years to recover. With his easy-going nature John can make anything a pleasure and we hope this brings him much success in the future. 21
