P. L. Foster Who will ever forget that man from Arizona. A somewhat hefty- forward on the 5th XV, Leigh was famous for his crash diets. A mem- ber of the 1st XI grass hockey team Leigh ' s gentle humour and sar- castic wit made him a welcome member of the Grad class. At the Deek Leigh ' s ticklishness proved fun for all. Next year Leigh plans to attend the U. of Arizona. J. K.Gibson School wouldn ' t be the same without Kels . A founding mem- ber of Lonsdale ' s House, Kelly was notorious for being perpetually late. His peculiar habits certainly kept life at school exciting. His early morning drive last year cost the school a hunky . At 3:00 a.m. Grad morning Kelly was the man gated for trying to get a can of pop from the Ritz, and even though he arrived late for the Deek Kel made up for lost time very quickly (he ' s still wondering how his pants got rip- ped). Next year Kelly plans to go to college somewhere in the East. P. V. Gordon Pete will surely be remembered for years to come as the Shaw- nigan mouthpiece. For when ever anyone was needed to run a raf- fle or M.C. a show, Gordon with pipe or cigar would always be called in. Last year Pete did his best to run the Liberal party ' s campaign but the N.D.P. won anyway, through no fault of Pete ' s. It looks like Pete will be headed for UVic and we wish him the best of luck in the fut- ure. J. T. Haibeck As side-kick and assistant schoolie to Bob Dennison, John was known for his exceeding efficiency. As a junior businessman Arnie proved the laws of supply and demand when he bought himself for a record $41.00 in the prefects ' raffle. To this day nobody can imagine why he bothered to outbid Don Finlay. Next year will probably see John trying to sell the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn bridge, or maybe his grandmother to some poor sucker. M. R. Hall Another ardent Copeman ' s sportsman, Mark was captain of the 1st XV and a member of the 1-8-1 VIII winning colours in both these sports. A wild guy, Stubbie proved at the Deek that they do let tennis-balls into LCB ' s. This summer Mark will tour Europe on the rowing team and after that he plans to attend some place on Vancou- ver Island called UVic. We wish him the best of luck there and hope he returns to civilization some time. 22

R. H. Dennison This year Bob, as a school prefect and head of Copeman ' s House did his usual thorough job. De Boss was a member of the 2nd XV and an assistant coach of the rowing club where he helped bing-bong the junior crews into shape. Known for his immaculate cleaning hab- its in his study, Babba will probably have the time of his life clean- ing up around home next year while he attends UBC. B. J. Dinter Another of the long time members of Shawnigan, Bernie will be missed both in school and in the gardens. Bernie was often the organ- izer behind many of the school ski trips. While at school he played on the 2nd XV and managed to get in a bit of tennis. On the academic side of things Bernie didn ' t let the class down as he performed admir- ably. Next year Bernie is on to UVic. S. B. Donovan Despite the curse (would you believe blessing) of coming to Shawnigan for only one year, Sean very soon became an active mem- ber of the school, having discovered the existence of Straths during the previous summer. He soon found himself in 12C, fullbacking for the 3rd XV, stroking the 3rd VIII, and vegetating with the sailing club. Striking terror into the hearts of the Copeman ' s grommits, K.P. oc- casionally demonstrated his pink-belt judo technique on his fellow seniors (but even this fame didn ' t get him home the day after grad.) After a summer working at the Shawnigan Inn (what ' s the attrac- tion?) Sean plans to row and roll his way through UBC. ». :.: ... .. .. • E. J. Field A great accordion player in the Inter-House Music Festivals, E. J. was one of the more efficient prefects this year. When not count- ing pennies for the Ripley ' s Refugee Fund, John found time to get out with the rowers or bide his time in the library. Although he hails from far south of the border, the call of the north should bring the wetback to UVic in September. D. G. Finlay Copeman ' s House will never be the same with the Buzzard. Aside from raising havoc with Snake or fighting with Pete, Dirty Don also found time to earn school colours playing centre on the 1st XV and jumping backwards over a high jump bar on the track. Cap- tain of basketball and an occasional cricketer, his passing will be marked with sighs of relief from the French department and Cope- man ' s juniors. Don ' s biggest disappointment was being outbidded for Arnie on Slave Day, but the good life at Yakima Valley College should cheer him up next year. 21

D. G. Harper Dan, the local yahoo, made his name famous with his great car when he managed to get a flat tire on his way home from the Com- puter Dance. Wing on the 3rd XV, an expert cricketer and occasional track man, he slouched through another year of classes and kept everybody hopping with his sharp questions. A drama veteran, Dan even warbled now and then. After touring Europe with the track team this summer, he plans to attend the Colorado School of Mines and we wish him well. D. K. Horton Everyone will remember Dave, if not for his haircuts — for what else can you do with hair like that? — then for his unselfish school news service. Dave earned his school colours for his hard work as hooker on the 1st XV, and was a good rower, unfortunately unable to go on the tour to Europe, but a great help as time-keeper and driver for the club, as well as an active member of the stage crew and Grad Committee. Next year at UVic we wish Dave good luck and good fish- ing. J. G. Housser A leading member of the Groves ' House rebel Grad class. John was a powerful prop on the 1st XV and a member of the 1st VIII win- ning school colours in both these sports. Notorious for his feeble hair- cut excuses, John was undoubtedly one of the most hilarious and friendly members of the Grade 12 class. After the summer rowing tour John plans to hang up his blade and spend a year following the hash trail through Europe. J. P. Kay Jim came to us from way over the sea in Iran, but he left his camel at home. He was active on the playing fields, as centre for the 1st XV, member of the basketball team and a school colour for track and field. An active songster in Trial by Jury Jimbo seemed to take a liking to drenching people with water from below The Peak . An easy-going guy, Lake ' s will miss him next year when he should be at UBC, hustling, running, playing rugby or maybe even working. y. T. Kong Another of the Hong Kong representatives, Tyrone found the library his natural habitat and earned his Academic school colours. A real spirit in the class, he found the Deek to his taste and his first snowfall a bit of a shock. The math and physics classes will not forget quickly the way Tyrone managed to prove theories that no one knew existed. We wish him the best at UBC in September. 23
