J. D. Milne Dune always used to tell us how, back in grade 8, he was one of the tallest guys in the class; and in grade 12 he was still taller than most of the grade 8 ' s (almost). During his five years at Shawnigan, Stubbs could be seen (if you looked closely) playing scrum-half for many winning teams, running towards his Lake ' s House crossKrountry colours, lending a big hand in the stage crew, swimming with the row- ing club, riding his hot Honda up and down the Island, and polishing his cowboy boots. Dune plans to keep his blazer and grey flannels for use at BCIT for the next two years, and then, if he hasn ' t been step- ped on yet, he ' s going to Australia. B. F. Newson Captain of the Fighting Fifths in his senior year, Brock man- aged to get along rather groovily as Ripley ' s free peace loving hippie. When not composing songs on his beautiful 12-string guitar or attend- ing classes, one could occasionally find good ole Brock leaving on long trips which we all took for granted. Brock was also (in?) famous for his father ' s wild parties for several select grade 12 ' s. We just wish Brock the best of luck in his never-ending search for peace, and hope he enjoys UBC. B.W. Parsons Maybe they ' ve never seen glass doors in Red Deer, or maybe they just don ' t have after-grads there. Anyway, Bartholomew has spent five years at Shawnigan trying to cover up his native shortcom- ings with a ready smile, or — if that didn ' t work — a ready slash that has made him many friends. His interests ranged from Gilbert Sul- livan to Strathcona Lodge, and he contributed to such worthy projects as the grad decorations and the field trip to Chevron Island. After a summer in Europe in some unknown official position with the rowing club, Bart plans to go to (or, flow through) the University of Notre Dame. C. L Punnett Sticking it out for five years has brought Kim a well-deserved membership in the Stag Club, recognizing his performances in track and field and cross country (earning his school colours in both), his contributions as sacristan in the chape l, and, above all, his invaluable service as Head of the Ritz — hunger strikes the grad class at weird hours, and Perce was (almost) always willing to make the trip, when it meant a few more coins in Fergie ' s cash-box. As a member of the European track tour, Kim will have a chance to crash the Queen ' s Garden Shaker, before settling down to the drag (of course) of UVic. 1 UL IJ«iwj» B. W. Ruddell The Kitimat Kid will primarily be remembered for his wild humour, crazy deeks, and messy room. A wing on the 2nd XV, Snake also was a member of the track and field team where he proved his athletic prowess and won his colours. A fleet-footed runner, Bruce also won school colours for his excellent performances on the cross country course. After jumping through Europe next year, Bruce will settle down with his muff and head for UBC. 25

J. M. Lusncy Another one of the boys from down south of the border, tea-cups led a very busy life while at Shawnigan. As a member of the 1st VIII and 1st XV, John was constantly on the go. He was in many dramatic productions, the last being Ten Little Indians and was also the as- sistant captain of dances. And, through all of this John still found time to make it over to Straths on Sundays. John intends to go to UBC next year and we wish him the best of luck for the future. A. J. McAllister When not sleeping, Al would spend his time on one of the many training runs to keep in shape (all of which would somehow pass Straths. Besides being captain of cross country, track and field and gymnastics, he was also chief ticket seller for the film society. This summer Al is leading the track team to England from where he will continue to Denmark to complete his education. To him and the people of Denmark we wish the best of luck. R. M. MacDonald When he wasn ' t picking at his guitar or playing his washboard, Rod could be found across the lake on one of his excursions to Straths. A kitchen hustler . Raddie decided that he wouldn ' t waste his time on the fields but dedicated himself to arty pursuits and back-to-nature activities. A deft man with a comb, Rod will be seen writing poetry at UBC next year. P. F. McFarland A Ripley ' s House member of the elite 12C class (somebody has to come last) Pud was a familiar sight in the woods around the school. Working hard for the 5th XV in the winter term, he chose the less strenuous sports of golfing and sailing in the summer term. He was an active member of the Art Club and also a member of the Grad Decoration Committee. Unfortunately he was unable to attend after- grad for some reason. Next year he plans to attend UBC. P. S. M, lanmng Pete was a real veteran of the school and thus he had obtained a mature outlook on life. A quick forward on the 1st XV and captain of cricket, Pete kept jumping in the sports field. In other activities he was an active member of the Photo Club and did his best in destroy- ing the units where others had failed. Next year Pete will be heading off to UVic, where his cheery face will brighten up the campus. 24

■ rniiiiiitiiimr- : »£SBB [ I ■ : : i|JP86 - ' • ■■■■«B»- ■ ■■■:■■ J S. S. Ruddell Simon was one of the quiet, behind-the-scenes workers who do so much for the school. A very conscientious Grade 12, he also headed the library committee and was one of the prime workers in the fixing of our library under Mr. Salmon. Simon also found time to run cross country and track and field but unfortunately will not be able to go to Europe this summer. Next term Simon intends to head to UBC to further his education. R. M. Shaw Ripley ' s House school prefect and 2nd XV prop, Ralphie also rowed on the 1st VIII winning school colours in this sport. Being head of the dance committee didn ' t prevent Ralph from spending endless hours hustling Mrs. Pearson and conning her into making dinner for him. Slave Day found Shaw-Boy collecting kisses from every av- ailable female-lucky Lottie! After the European rowing tour Ralph plans to bum around for a year before deciding what he wants to do. W. Sleath Bill, famous for his dining room antics, also earned fame as the defendant in Trial By Jury and as the keeper of a tidy room. When not travelling to Straths or moving elsewhere, he could be seen play- ing on the basketball team or winning school colours as fullback for 1st XV and as an ambitious pole vaulter. Well known for his peculiar sense of humour and various midnight escapades, Bill found his facial foliage difficult to keep trimmed. We wish him the best of luck at UBC in the fall. J. C. Sloan Captain of the 2nd XV and the school sailing club, School Prefect, host of the ' 69 after-grad, defender of the teachings of Alan Watts and Leonard Cohen, music and dog lover, and the organizer of the Miles- for-Millions Deek to Vancouver are just a few of Clebie ' s many cred- its, besides being the school ' s first flower child, and an all-round good head. As official tour photographer, John will man a movie camera in Europe this summer, before going to Stanford where he will major in student radicalism and canine philosophy. P. H. Spohn A School Prefect and Head of Grove ' s House, Pete was also head of the Art Club and Grad Decorations Committee. As president of the Stag Club and a member of the 3rd XV he was also an avid member of the Philosophy Club. His numerous excellent performances in drama productions will long be remembered as will his humour and his curly hair. Next year Pete plans to take the New Arts I at UBC. 26
