T. L. Allen Another of the veterans of the Junior House days, Timmy sur- vived for five years. In his stay Tim participated in many sports rang- ing from cross country to gymnastics. On the hobbies side Tim was active in a number of school plays and in the prevention of pollution, especially in his own room. Tim is heading on to UBC next year. R. B. Arnt Despite the fact that he was the only guy in the school who had been there for six years, nobody ever looked up to Rock — at least, nobody over 3 ' 6 . However, Rock had no trouble gaining the respect of everybody as captain of the Rowing Club, coxing the 1st VIII for the summer tour to Europe, as scrum-half of the 1st XV for two years and holder of school rugby colours, and as a conscientious School Pre- fect who remembered the good old days when grommits were kept in their places. After the tour, Rock will probably become a hippy at home on Orcas Island while waiting for his country to call. T. R. Bangs Another of the Orcas Island draft-dodgers, Tracy found five years of peace in his well-worn seat in the school library, from where he managed to earn his school academic colours, countless trips to the front of the assembly hall on Speech Day, and his much-deserved posi- tion of Head Student of ' 69. Somehow, he also found time to be a mem- ber of the cross-country and track teams, to participate admirably in the class Deek, and to cultivate some very fine facial foliage. We offer our sympathy to Stanford University, which will be the next to suffer from Tracy ' s pun-ishment. 1 .. i G. P. Barratt One only has to look at Geoff ' s approach to studying and hair- grooming to see an example of super-human effort in the face of over- whelming odds. But ever since grade 8, his diligence has paid off, fin- ally gaining him the captainship of the 1st hockey team; positions on the 1st and 2nd XV ' s, the school tennis team and several basketball teams; and his Grove ' s House colours for rugby and cross-country. Next year, Zulu plans to play more rugby while grooving with the other freaks in the Arts I course at UBC. L. G. Bestwick Grant ' s constant trips from the bursary to his room loaded down with the day ' s mail have kept him in shape for his five years at Shaw- nigan, so he was able to earn Grove ' s House colours in swimming and track, to captain House Athletics, and to become the school sculler, training to shine in Europe this summer. He also spent many unselfish hours working in the Grad Committee, stage lighting and the biology department, as well as maintaining an Island-wide network of cor- respondence and a well-organized, up-to-date letter-file. We all wish Grant as much luck as he needs as a founding member of Nanaimo ' s new Mai. U. and hope he has many more happy birthdays. 19

G. M. Robson As Head Boy and head of the new Lonsdale ' s House Mark had a tough job this year and it is to his credit that the school ran as smoothly as it did. But his job of head prefect didn ' t keep him from being active in other spheres of school life. Playing wing for the 2nd XV until a kidney in- jury, Mark also stroked the 2nd VIII winning col- ours in this sport. An avid daydreamer (Ask Mr. Josselyn) he spent many class hours writing love letters to Olivia what ' s-her-name. A member of the Stag Club and Film Club, Mark also captained the school swim team. After the European rowing tour Stoney plans to relax for a year while at- tending UVic. We offer him our thanks and wish him the best of luck. 18

R. A. Bourne Rick will always be remembered as our outstanding athlete as well as a great guy. A member of the 1st XV and track team he won colours in both these sports. An ardent gymnast, Rick also was pres- ident of the V.T.R. club. After pole-vaulting his way through Europe he plans to attend Vancouver City College and from there he hopes to enter a career in broadcasting. We wish him the best of luck. R. M. Carlyle Though never even spending a complete year at Shawnigan, Rob did his best to make up for lost time. When not working Rob would occasionally dabble in tennis and squash and play on the 4th XV. Often, the sounds of a guitar could be heard drifting from his room from behind a closed door. Rob is not sure of his future plans but we wish him the best of luck in what ever he decides on. G. M. Craig Gordie became a School Prefect this year for more reasons than just driving a new GTO and being a good head. Academically, he has always been high in the top form. In sports he played for the 2nd XV and rowed for the 2nd VIII, going on the summer tour to Europe. Cul- turally, he has taken many roles in school dramatic productions, high- lighted by a lead part in this year ' s Trial By Jury . In the field of literature, Gord contributed greatly to this school magazine; and soc- ially, he showed great skill leading various grad reception lines. With this background he should have no trouble maintaining Shawnigan ' s good record at UBC next year. M. R. Dawson Ever since grade 8, Weasel has always managed to make him- self heard in the school in many different forms. As an artist, his sig- nature could be found on many cartoons, posters, and even some ser- ious paintings. As a stage star, he took many parts in school plays and operettas. As a great thinker, he often expounded his plans for a Sum- merhill — Shawnigan in the organized and unorganized philosophy clubs. And as a literary genius, he became editor of the school news- paper and co-editor of last year ' s annual. To recognize these and many other contributions, Mur was invited into the Stag Club in his final year, which will gain him much respect at UBC next year, no doubt. s. E. Deering Steve did his thing this year at school. As well as being presid- ent of the International Cynics Society, Steve was manager and coach boat driver for the rowing club. President of the Film Society. Steve was also a member of the Philosophy Club and the elite Stag Club. A winner of academic school colours he even found time to captain the 3rd XV (they lost once). After the European tour Steve plans to leave Nanaimo and head for UBC. 20
