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

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

Mike Greenwood (1961) — Always joking, always enjoying life, Mike has been a positive figure in not only the grade but in his house also. With the Greenwood reputation at stake he has made a name for himself as the Under 18 Squash Champion of B.C. and School Captain of Squash, as well as being a top student. Graduating a House Prefect, we wish him luck in Cheltenham, England, where he is going to prepare for entry into a British university. Paul Hitchcock (1961)— Through hard work and devotion to duty, Paul has proven himself to be one of the sages of the school. In many activities, especially Rover Scouts, he has quietly given his best. He became school captain of Cross- country and was unfortunatly denied a brilliant season by illness. We wish him all the best next year at U.B.C. Robert Hungerford (1960) — Robert will best be remembered for his solid personality and quiet, efficient leadership of Copeman ' s House. Seen practising with the first XI, first XV, cross-country team, setting an example at the table or driving the hunky, Rob is well liked and respected. Often taken far more seri- ously than he really intends to be. Rob has a good sense of humour and will be successful at whatever field he enters! Don Ingledew (I960)— Don may be small but he has done a lot of big things for the school. As Head of Ripley ' s House he has shown himself to be a depend- able, sincere person in whom we could always place our trust. He has led not only as a School Prefect but as an experienced member of tthe First XV and a capable Captain of Cricket. This summer he will lead his team to England where any success will be largely owing to his efforts. His outgoing, courteous nature are bound to make him and those around him happy and cheerful. Dicks Iverson (1961)— We may not be certain where Ivy will be at a given moment - rowing on the First VIII, performing his duties as a House Prefect or sailing on the lake - but we can all be certain that whatever he is doing, he is doing it to the best of his ability. His membership in the Stag Club confirms this as does his membership in the We Try Harder ' association. Going to Europe, this summer for the second time, he will certainly be a credit to himself, his school and to his country. A little high sounding? Perhaps, but it is true. 22
