Shawnigan Lake School - Yearbook (Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia Canada)

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

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

John Lunam (196 ) — John, the Rover crew leader, is another graduate who has put everything into his school years. In the Rovers, the whole Scouting movement received a tremendous lift. As a House prefect, he has helped immensely in the control of other boys and was always willing to give academic help where needed. Throughout all aspects of school life the Beak ' was always near and ready to help. John, a school colour in academics, will continue his studies at U.B.C. Dennis Maguire (1960) — In his waking hours, Den has managed to enter such a variety of activities, and do excellently in them all, that he seems to have lived a whole lifetime in five years. His own camera could have caught pictures of him playing rugby on the First XV, throwing the shot, organizing the Photo Club, taking dorms or just working at his studies. With his German heritage and diplo- matic strain of character he is well suited for a career in the foreign office. We would just ask him to leave his camera behind when posted in the U.S.S.R. Tate Mason (1961)— House Prefect, First XV, First VIII, First Basketball . . . the list of Tate ' s accomplishments seems to be endless. But there is the other side to Tate, the smiling, laughing, happy-go-lucky Tate, that has left such an impres- sion in the minds of all who have come to know him. In the classroom he has his character turned to the serious, but he never has lost his spark of good nature that has enlivened many a class. For all these qualities, our thanks go to Tate. In return, our best wishes for the future. Gordon MacKenzie (I960)— ' Guerns ' graduates from the school a triple color. He has contributed greatly to the success of the basketball squad, the First XV, and the Track Team, and in spite of many injuries he has managed to maintain his standards and his sense of humor. A Lake ' s House Prefect, as well as a Choir member and Glee Club singer, his spare time has been put to good use, in giving him an excellent grounding for future activities. 24 John McFarland (1962) —Johnny ' is about the hardest worker of the graduat- ing class; with his broadsmile and good humour. He can always be found in the classroom block or by some remote stream, pursuing his favorite pastime, fishing. Next year, when he isn ' t out at U.B.C, we expect to see him on Vancouver ' s slopes flying towards us in a spray of snow. m
