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

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

Mart (1967) The famous 1 Study Dorm of Lakes House would not have been so famous had not Martin Hewitt, with his great wit, come to Shawnigan. A confirmed American, ' Orville ' used to sweat marks extraordinarily. Is there any explanation for this? ' Nashville ' fitted in extremely well and although we can only hesitantly forgive him for ' jeopardizing Math class ' , he will definitely be greatly missed. A football-player-converted-rugby player, he played in the scrum of the 4th Fifteen and was the best basketball player the school has seen in the last couple of years. Good luck at U. Vic, Mart! Steve (1963) Steve Ladner, one of the few remaining terrors of the ' 63 Junior House, was this year a House Prefect in Lake ' s House and sleeping champion of Mr. Dickens ' English Lit. class. ' Njadner ' , who was also active in Civil Defence over the years, became interested in surgery this year as evident by his frequent use of rubber gloves. Steve ' s running ability earned him a place on the 2nd Fifteen and a berth on the Track Team where he performed in the 220 yards. The Orville-Njadner yawning team will not be soon forgotten, and we look forward to seeing him, Di and the M.G. at U.B.C. in the fall. Pat (1963) Another oldtimer, Pat Lewis was the undisputed Poet Laureate of Shawnigan for the past two years. One of the school ' s top English students, ' Week-End ' made great contributions both to the School Magazine and School Newspaper. He proved his ability on stage this year when he had a major role in the Drama Society ' s ' Wild Duck ' . His performances with the guitar were enjoyed on numer- ous occasions by the school and we assume that he may be the up and coming challenger of Bob Dylan. Pat will undoubtedly study English when he goes to U. Vic. in the fall. We wish him well. Steve (1964) Steve Luce, our representative from Hartford Conn., had a most successful career at Shawnigan. As Head of Copeman ' s House, ' Searie ' proved to be a leader of high quality and was one of the most respected seniors in the school. A top member of the 1st Fifteen and the 1st Eight rowing crew, Steve won the coveted ' Sportsman of the Year ' award. Steve could often be found organizing an activity or making some arrangement, except for Sundays when he would disappear down the tracks toward Strathcona (?). Although ' Sausage ' is going to Marietta College next year, we may expect to see him by this way before too long! We thank Steve, the Deputy Head Boy. for the great job he did. Come back soon! Ian (1963) ' Rat ' as Ian McBean was known by some of his close friends, was this year assistant Head of Groves ' House and a School Prefect. A leading member of the Track Team he has a School Colour in both that sport and in Cross Country. In the afternoons, Ian could at times be found desperately trying to dump water on someone from his quarters in ' The Peak ' or else running the Trail. His great sense of humour and pleasant personality won him many friends and Groves ' will be lacking without him. During this season, his third with the 2nd Fifteen, he became captain of this successful team. Next year we hope to see him running on the track at U.B.C. 26
