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

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

David Jennings (1959) —Dave is one of the ' rad-shack ' boys and will probably best be remembered by explosions in the Chem Lab, humour in a Commerce class, being on Satis for not doing a hobby or always being willing to help anyone in distress . . . particularly electrical distress. Having participated in Track, Swim- ming and Rugby he hopes to attend U.B.C. next year and will probably keep the campus in an excited turmoil. Bill Keate (I960)— Bill, a conscientious, softly spoken senior who carries a big stick - usually a baseball bat - has made his contribution to the school in his own quiet, thoughtful way. As Verger of the Chapel he has inconspicuously added his own part to the running of the school. His other contributions include an almost single-handed indexing of the school library books - an unselfishly performed task which helped to earn him his Stag Colors. When Bill leaves the school, we can safely say that he has left it a better place than he found it. Doug Kingsford (I960)— Doug, head House Prefect in Groves ' House, leaves Shawnigan with a pile of laurels as high as a rat ' s nest. An ardent rugby player and rower as well as a choir member and operetta singer he has more than fulfilled his quota of activities. Planning to attend the U of A as well as to buy a Volks- wagen, he has a promising future ahead of him, and with a laugh and a smile like his, how can he fail? Jamie Lawson (1962)— Jamie has made his donation to the school through his efforts on the second fifteen, on the second eight, and as a Ripley ' s House prefect. Always a hard worker, Jamie is never too serious and is slow to anger. After a summer of rowing in Europe he plans to attend U.B.C. Jim Longridge (I960)— James Bomb, when not using his deadly aim to kill all cricket competition within his bowling bounds, can be found diligently at work trying his hardest to make sure everyone is wearing a happy smile. Astronomy has been Jim ' s main interest this year, with golf and grass hockey running a close second. Dentistry seems to be his calling and we wish the University of Victoria best of luck next year. 23
