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

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

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

Don (1965) Don McDiarmid, official school cratoonist, gained fame for his beautiful decorations produced for the Grad. dance. He and Dave Motter have the sincere appreciation of the class for their excellent job. An aggressive break on the 1st Fifteen, ' Don Juan ' was also a member of the Lightweight Eight as well as being guard on the Senior Basketball Team. As Head House Prefect of Ripley ' s House, Don managed to suppress most uprisings by the juniors in the House though the confrontation with Chris Owen was inevitable. Next year Don should be seen drawing cartoons of the teachers at the Calgary School of Fine Arts. Jim (1965) Jim McDiarmid, undoubtedly the tidiest person in the entire Lake ' s House, was the School ' s top Historian this year. Although he caused concern over his occa sional absency, James always made his presence felt when he was about. He followed in his brother ' s footsteps by rowing on the 2nd Eight as 6 and played several games for ' the mighty fourths ' . We wish Jim much success when he enters U.B.C. in September. Rick (1966) The class of ' 68 ' s import from Poland, Rick Maclure was by far 12-A ' s most studious member. Consequently he was continually at the top of the class, fight- ing off the many stout challengers. We feel sure that Mr. Dickens will not soon forget Rick ' s prowess in remembering every detail in the English Lit. book. Out- side of class, ' LP. ' was the top break on the Second Game as well as being a highly skilled sailor. Apart from that, Rick spent much time in the Library al- though he did take the occasional break to have a verbal battle with Pete DeWitt. Next year Rick looks forward to living at home whilst attending U. Vic. Dave (1965) This year Dave Motter could be found perhaps in the gym as captain of Gymnastics or on the fields as scrum-half on the 2nd Fifteen, on the Lake as a member of the 2nd Eight, as senior sculler, or for other reasons, driving the Hunky somewhere (the A W?) or up in the dorm counting his rolls. Always a quick witted chap, Dave was noted for his ' street-corner ' humour. Next fall will probably see Dave as a student at Calgary University. Derek (1963) Derek Paulson, a veteran from Grade Eight days, contributed much to the success of the Grade 12 deek. A Groves ' House Prefect, he also took up position as resident dinner guest at the Pearson ' s, and was runner up in the Snob Car Contest. Shawnigan will be a little quieter without his ' Hhoughh, hhoughh, hhoughh ' echoing through the halls, but at least the confusion as to how many Mr. Grey ' s we had at Shawnigan will be partially solved. Next fall will probably see Derek at the University of Washington State. 27
