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

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

Jim (1964) A hard worker, Jim Peck proved that his work wasn ' t in vain by getting a perfect 800 on his Maths achievement collegeboard exam. Jim also worked hard in track and in cross-country and occasionally he could be found boning up on his tennis. Next fall, Jim will attend Montreal ' s McGill University, where we under- stand there is an excellent library with complete camping facilities. Esben (1964) A School Prefect, Head of Groves ' House, and Captain of Rowing, Esben Poulsson ' s quiet efficiency and dedication earned him much respect. As president of the Stag Club, 2nd row on the 3rd Fifteen, a member of the Philosophy Club, and Editor of last year ' s Stag, there was hardly a facet of Shawnigan ' s life which ' Esh-bon ' did not have a hand in, including master-imitating (come on, you guys!) We wish him all the best in the Victoria-Maui race this summer, and good luck at U.B.C. in the fall. John (1965) John Randall was without a doubt one of the liveliest members of the Grad. Class and he never tired of coining new cliches. Whether sprinting down the wing on the 1st Game, rowing on the 1st Eight, playing in the Band, or making a detailed study of P.K. ' s Kampen Killing, ' Herb ' was always cheerful and ready to try anything, which in fact he did, performing in the school go-go dancing team, and managing to earn School Colours in Rowing. We wish him all the best as he livens up U.B.C. next year. Lome (1966) Another Copeman ' s House stalwart and House Prefect, Lome Richardson was a valuable member of the 1st Game and the Track Team, as well as an accom- plished drummer and member of the School ' s go-go dancing team. One of the chief ' organizers ' of the Grade 12 deek, Lome ' s physical features came in handy. Starting in the fall, Lome will be seen at S.F.U. Steve (1964) Steve Rothman accomplished a great deal this year. A Ripley ' s House Prefect, he was the backbone of the Film Society and Stage Crew and was largely respon- sible for keeping Rowing Club equipment in good running order. Always willing to lend a hand, Steve was a worthy member of the Stag Club. We wish him luck at B.C.I.T. 28
