R.F. Ward Whenever anybody couldn ' t find Ross they would think he was probably out somewhere flattening mountains or eating trees, when in fact he could be found in some quiet corner writing letters to var- ious local head-girls. With no apparent effort, Grog earned himself a position on the 1st XV and 1st VIII, and became a member of the Eur- opean rowing tour. After the tour, Ross is going back home to Victor- ia, and might even pay an occasional visit to the university there. A. J. Whitehead Another of the school ' s wet-backs, Al made himself popular through his mastery of the Spanish guitar and the English pun. Using his authority as a School Prefect, he easily captured the Ripley ' s House pool competition, as well as being an active member of the Film Club and a strong voice in many stage productions. An able rower, Al miss- ed making the 1st VIII through a leg injury, but impressed everyone with his magnificent style in Inter-House Rowing. Next year he will probably return home to Guatemala and incite a few revolutions with his wicked wit. G. T. Williams Our representative from Mexico GT Eyeballs was a speedy winger on the 2nd XV. An outdoor enthusiast, George spent much of his spare time hiking or canoeing with the Outdoors Club. His partic- ular knack of talking so fast you couldn ' t understand him came in very handy when correspondence papers were due. A member of the Ritz Committee GT saved many a life by opening the Ritz at night for starv- ing buddies. After spending the summer working up north George plans to attend UBC in the fall. A. B. Wilson A school prefect and head of Lake ' s House, Tones was a hard- driving wing forward on the 2nd XV and a member of the 2nd VUJ for which he won school colours. An accomplished gymnast and mem- ber of the Stag Club Tubs was also a member of the Film Society. His efficient work divs. notice will undoubtedly be long remembered by both he and Mr. Dinter. After the European rowing tour Tony plans to attend UBC in fall. 28

A. J. Steel It is surprising that a school such as Shawnigan doesn ' t attract more Limeys — and also very lucky. More than one Toniar would have devastated Strathcona (they say chicks really dig that English accent) and would have eliminated any competition in the squash courts or on the cricket pitch (obviously), and would have put to shame anybody trying to keep up with the latest Carnaby Street fashions. Returning next year to his home in Victoria (of course), Tony intends to groove at the local university. ■ : 1 8 i 1 t J. B. Stewart As a guy who never gets moody , who is always sincere in whatever he says or does, and who is heir to a winery, Bri never had any trouble making friends. We will always remember his many con- tributions to the school, as a conscientious Lonsdale House senior, a hard-working forward on the 3rd XV, a tireless rower on the tour crews, and a willing helper in the grad committee, to name only a few of the things that earned him the School Citizenship Cup. Next year, Erfy-Derf plans to stay close to water-skiing and wine at home by going to one of those unheard-of colleges in the interior. C. B. Taylor Fantastic finger control enabled Kit to become not only the best barber in Shawnigan and the incredibly talented lead guitarist of the Last-Chance-Straths-Grad-Grab-Dance-Band, but also the easy winner of the tense STTT competition. He also excelled in rugby, playing wing for the 1st XV, and in rowing, earning his school colours as a member of the 1st VIII going to Europe this summer. Kit will con- tinue playing rugby, flexing his fingers, and maybe even doing some studying at UVic next year. D. B. Trethewey It was a big year for Spud — almost as big as he is. A prop on the 1st XV and stroke of the 1st VIII, Big Guy won colours in these sports. An excellent photographer and president of the Photo Club Bruss kept order in Copeman ' s unit 2 with an iron fist (literally). Al- ways thinking of his stomach Row almost emptied Mason ' s of food. Next year Bruce plans to work in Northern B.C. and we all wish him the best of luck. D. S. Ward Stirling put a lot of hard work into the school this year. Wing on the 4th XV, a hard worker on the track team, Nerf ruled Cope- man ' s Unit No. 3 with an iron hand. Another ace hustler, Lemon and his famous laugh livened up many a dull moment. Much to the re- lief of the Copeman ' s underlings, he will be seen entering UVic after a trip to Europe this summer. 27
