SALVETE R. Arthurs Mr. Bob Arthurs was born in Toronto in 1945. He attended Upper Canada College until 1963 when he left for Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. Being a Biologist, Mr. Arthurs plans to do further research in this field. As well as driving sports cars, Bob ' s other interests are Tropical Fish, Light Music and girls. At present he is teaching Biology at St. George ' s. Although Mr. Joyce tells us that he could not understand English conversation we are sure he will have every success in the future. P. Bingley Mr. Bingley was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malasia and was educated in Northamptonshire, England. He con- tinued his studies at Selwyn College, Cambridge where he majored in Spanish and French. Besides studies he was active in both rugby and rowing. During the year here at school Mr. Bingley has contributed greatly in rugby, rowing and scouts. And most notable of all, as assistant housemaster of Groves House. We wish him the very best in the future. D. Joyce P. Kearns Mr. Joyce was born in London and attended prep school at Ardingly College. He obtained his honours degree in Modern Languages at Trinity College, Cam- bridge, where he was active in soccer and cricket. Here at Shawnigan he has been active in the school band and produced the Wild Duck, an excellent production done in a remarkably short time. As well as being a proficient French teacher, Mr. Joyce is a cellist and guitarist of great repute. He plans to be a hippie in San Francisco or a bum in Santa-Fe. We hope he will spend a few years at Shawnigan first. Mr. Kearns was born in Somerset, England and educated at Markton Combe School where he was active in rugby and rowing. On graduation he went to Wadham College, Oxford and was there appointed Captain of Boats. Two years of National Service were then spent in Royal Engineers after which he began his career at Taunton School, England. In his thirteen years there he taught Chemistry, Biology and was Assistant Housema- ter and Housemaster. Following a successful visit to Canada in 1965, he was prompted to accept the job at Shawnigan which he now holds. His interests are fishing, music, in which he admirably plays the bassoon, golf, sailing, and shooting. We wish him the best in his career at Shawnigan which we hope would be happy and reward- ing. 11

VALETE J. Dickens From the year 1962 to ' 68, Mr. Jed Dickens was a well known figure on the Shawnigan campus. Arriving from Saskatchewan, he took his position in the English department while teaching History on the side. Many a boy will no doubt recall how Mr. Dickens ' unique sense of humour served to brighten up the day and make every- thing seem worthwhile. He became Assistant Housemas- ter in Groves ' House for a year and during the latter part of his stay he directed the Speed Reading course and coached the Grass Hockey team. Now he is off to Apple- by College in Ontario and we at Shawnigan extend to him and his family our best wishes for future success and happiness. A. Brown Mr. Brown came to Shawnigan in 1963 to teach in the sciences and two years later he became the compe- tent head of the department. He taught Physics to grades ten. eleven, and twelve, while developing the lab into one of the most advanced of its kind in B.C. He led the two science tours down to the Boeing Aircraft plant in Seattle much to the interest of the many boys who were present. In the last year Mr. Brown has started the Computer Society which has been highly successful, involving boys in the more senior grades. In May of the last year this club programmed a computor dance in which 73 boys and 73 girls were macthed according to their compat- ibility. The dance turned out exceptionally well with everyone enjoying themselves. The other areas of school life in which he was active were rugby where he coached the Juniors and also as the head of the Philosophy Club which met weekly at his house. The experiment of the 3 Day Achievement began with his ideas and suggestions which perhaps we may benefit from next year with the possible repetition of the experiment. Married and with two children, aged four and two years, Mr. Brown now leaves us to attend on a scholarship Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island. We wish him the very best of luck in his studies and future life in which we feel he will be most successful. G. Oteman In the five years that Mr. Oteman has been at Shaw- nigan he has made a remarkable contribution to the school. He must be remembered not only as a French teacher but for his varied contribution to the Fine Arts. Through his singular effort the Art Club was supervised, instructed and maintained. In Music he dedicated hours of his busy schedule in the difficult task of developing the School Orchestra and this year saw him playing the organ in Chapel. As Librarian in our new Library he devoted a great deal of time in maintenance, supervision, rotating periodicals, filing books and choosing new and up-to-date volumes. He is taking a few years out from teaching to attend the University of Victoria. We would like to thank him for his unselfish contribution to the school and wish him and his family the best of luck in the future. 12
