Pete (1967) Another latecomer, Peter DeWitt nevertheless made his contribution to Shawnigan. He played second-row forward on the 2nd and 3rd Fifteens and accomplished much as a Groves ' House Prefect. Summer saw him in the Rowing Club or perhaps asleep. Grad saw him elsewhere. Pete was always a great one for showing genuine interest in School activities and contributed much to keeping up School Spirit. We wish him luck at U.B.C. in the fall. Ian (1962) A real veteran, Ian Fairweather has made many contributions to Shawnigan. A three year career on the 1st Fifteen saw ' Ebo ' as captain this season. He was also captain of Basketball, and only chronic knee trouble kept him from a great success in Track. His good nature and athletic prowess earned him much respect. In his free time he could often be found in his room (the one with the pitchfork behind the door) writing his daily quota of letters. We wish him luck next year when he enters the banking business. Rick (1964) Well what would we do this year without good old ' Fred ' ? Rick Freeman accomplished much this year as vice-captain of rugby, a member of the 1st Eight and as a Copeman ' s House Prefect. Oh yes, he was another one of those famous go-go dancers, too. A man with a great sense of humour, it would be hard to picture Rick in a bad mood. Although his immediate future is as yet undecided, we wish him luck in whatever he does. Cecil (1967) Cecil Fung was our member from Hong Kong this year. Always active, ' Ceece ' sang in the Choir, took up position as a Librarian, played field hockey and made use of his considerable talents as a musician. Cec will be especially well remem- bered by Mr. MacLachlan ' s Math class because he always seemed to be a page or ten ahead. Next September will probably see him at U.B.C. or U-Vic. Bill (1964) Bill Gould left Shawnigan with a note of success after having won the Snob Car Contest hands down. Bill also enjoyed success however as a member of the 3rd Fifteen, 1st Hockey Eleven, as a Copeman ' s House Prefect and a Houseguest of Mrs. Pearson, where he showed amazing talent as an organ player. It ' s a shame though that he never did master an imitation of Mr. Grey ' s laugh. Next fall, Bill will attend Capilano College for one year before entering U.B.C. 24

Bill (1963) Bill Brown, a junior house veteran, has had a busy time this year, as a Ripley ' s House prefect, stroke of the 1st VIII, wing of the 2nd XV, member of the Film Society, of the stage crew, and as a part-time Cricketer. We wish him luck as a member of the U-Vic Olympic four, and as a student of U-Vic where, they understand, they sell lots of ice-cream cones. Laurie (1965) Laurie Bullivant, a speedy hockey forward, won his School Colours in that sport. He was also an active track and cross-country enthusiast as well as a back for the 3rd XV. Laurie ' s biggest surprise was getting a good mark in a Chemistry 12 test earning him the undying envy of the rest of the class. We wish him all the best next fall at U-Vic. Don (1966) Don Bullock, our representative from Seward ' s folly, has accomplished a lot in his final year. Manager of the rowing club, Senior Chorister, and Head Lib- rarian, not to mention his dramatic roles in the Wild Duck and Oliver! are just a few of them. It is small wonder he was elected to the Stag Club. A cheerful guy with a wondrous sense of humour, Don ' s Famous Laugh is probably still echoing around the halls of Shawnigan. In the fall Don plans to attend either U.B.C. or the University of Alaska. Crichy (1967) A latecomer to Shawnigan, Crich Clarke realized he had to make up for lost time and spared no effort to leave his mark on the school. A high scoring forward on both the 1st Hockey Eleven and the 4th Fifteen, ' Pyle ' also achieved recog- nition as a go-go dancer at Grad. If the conversation even lagged. Crich was always ready with a ' Diii — slap me a brown ' to keep it going. His good nature and great sense of humour will make him one of the most unforgettable members of the Grad. Class. Next September he will attend U.B.C. Neil (1963) Neil Comber is the only wetback veteran of the Junior House. His Gonzales- type speediness earned him the position of wing on the 1st Fifteen in mid-season, and left wing on the 1st Hockey Eleven, even though he was fond of falling down. He put his voice to use in the Choir, in ' Oliver! ' in which he had a lead part and in numerous quips. Next fall will probably see Neil zipping around the campus of U.N. A.M. in Mexico City. 23

Pete (1965) Peter Gudewill or ' Pog ' as he was known by most intimate friends will long be famous for the hair on his head which always ' did what it wanted to ' . A strong member of the 1st Fifteen, Captain of Cricket and Squash, ' pudgy paps ' was one of the most all-round athletes in the school. One of the more studious members of 12-A, Pete could often be found perspiring over the books. As Head House Prefect of Groves ' , he should not soon be forgotten by certain notorious Grom- mits. We wish Pete the best at U.B.C. Stu (1966) ' Biceps ' Stu Hamilton, the top oarsman in the school, unfortunately had to miss out this season with the 1st Eight. It is interesting to note that Stu is the only rower in the school this year who rowed with the school at the World Cham- pionships in Ratzburg, Germany last year. A new member of the (elite) 12-C class, Stu used his surplus muscle in the scrum of the very successful 3rd Fifteen, of which he was captain. Stu will be greatly missed by his many friends in Van- couver next year as he and his family are moving to Montreal. We wish him good skiing and good luck at McGill. Pete (1964) Pete Hancock was discovered this year to be an actor (actress?) of sorts with his performance in the 12-S play. A top Biologist, ' C.-Lou ' managed to become Mr. Gotthardt ' s favorite, much to the dismay of his fellow classmates. On the rugby field Pete surprised everyone with his talents as fly-half of the 3rd Fifteen. This summer Pete will return to his native Campbell River where he will guide tourists to the salmon. Next year he will be seen at U.B.C, undoubtedly looking through a microscope. Doug (1963) Sometimes known as Doug Snell, Doug Hansen ' s excellent running career came to a peak this year when he broke Mark Gibson ' s long standing record in the mile. The second best miler in the province, Doug was captain of both Cross- country and Track and Field. Hill House was undoubtedly lucky in having Doug as their head. The only shady business surrounding Doug was his strange disappear- ance from the Grad. Dance for about two hours! Next year we hope to hear news of Doug and the University of Washington Track team. Al (1966) A top waterskier, Al Hocking proved his ability early in the year by placing second in the championships held on the Lake. On Sunday, ' Leaho ' could often be found in Victoria driving his Epic and ' slapping everyone a brown ' . His efforts as a Copeman ' s House Prefect were much appreciated, as were his contributions to the 1st Eleven Grass Hockey Team and the 3rd Fifteen. A very spirited mem- ber of the class, All will be missed by his many friends at Shawnigan. Next year his Epic should be found being towed away from a ' No Parking ' area of U. Vic. 25
