Matthew Wade (1960) — ' Matt ' can always be depended on to give his best in all his activities; he has excelled as one of the school ' s most outstanding gymnasts and is an ardent squash player and rower. When not involved in these, he takes part in school operettas and is a fanatical shutterbug. Besides all this he has found time to lead his class in academics all year. We all wish him luck in his architecture at the University of Victoria next year. Bob West (1958)— Bob, a Copeman ' s House Prefect, is a stable citizen in our community. His eight years at Shawnigan have resulted in a quietly efficient and sincere person, who usually keeps his thoughts to himself unless roused by an argument. His prowess in sports is shown by school colors in Basketball, and significant careers on the first XV and first XT. The University of Alberta is taking him on as a pre-law student next year. George Westinghouse (1959)— If somebody asked for George, you could safely answer that he could be found on the lake sailing or rowing, in the Big School playing his trombone with the orchestra, or perhaps checking a fag as a Groves ' House Prefect, provided that he wasn ' t just plain studying. With such varied interests and talents, George has left behind him much to be valued, not the least of which is th fleet of sailina boats on the Lake. John Wheaton (1961) — John is- one of the most easy-going and independent members of the class. Though his main interest would seem to be relaxation, his academic color proves that this isn ' t so and he has made great contributions to the Debating Society, the Philosophy Club and to his house, as well as managing the Grad Dance. Next year John is heading east, to McGill, and we can look forward to seeing him in law courts, as always, standing up for what he thinks is right. Dick Williams (1959)— Coming to us from Calgary, Dick has always added a touch of the equestrian to all his activities. A member of the First VIII and Captain of the Second XV, his athletic career is more than balanced by many hours of hard work in the classroom. As Head of the Guard, Dick must have been the proudest boy in the May Inspection. No doubt he will have many more proud moments in his forthcoming trip to Europe. 27

Though the world continues to turn at its hectic pace as if nothing has changed, we who have been fortunate enough to call ourselves Ripleyites for the past nine months, and longer, know that things are different. For it is June once more and we have come to the end of a very full and memorable year. As we have lived, studied and played games together, we have fostered a good house spirit along with our school spirit, and with this spirit we have accomplished a great deal. The small room down our dorm wing labelled Officers Only had a full complement with three School Pre- fects - Don fngledew, Tom Andrews and Pat O ' Callaghan. Their leadership, plus the hard work of the House Pre- fects, led by Ron Tanton - Ian Agus, then Dave Gardner and Jamie Lawson and then towards the end of the year, Hamer Foster, John Barclay and Dave Slater, helped to make the year a very good one. Sports are always of prime excitement at Shawnigan, and true to form, Inter-house sports were a source of rivalry again. Though our house was not recognized as having ' great potential ' this year, we pulled a number of surprises through dogged determination. We began the year with a quick splash into the lake; and though we didn ' t win the swimming, we went down fighting. In the Senior division, our captain Dave Gardner was a close runner-up for the individual trophy and Pat O ' Callaghan won the diving event. In the Under 16 division, Ross McRae had a powerful stroke and was runner-up for the individual trophy - and he was backed up well by Gra- ham Nelson. We were a trifle disappointed that they saw fit to award us with a third place for such an excellent record. 29
