Since then he has been teaching and travelling through Australia and England, until he was lured to Shawnigan by his urge to con- tinue travelling and see North America. While teaching English and Geography Mr. Gorman has found time to coach cricket and basketball as well as instruct in weight training and per- form the duties of Grove ' s House Assistant Housemaster. We ' re happy that Mr. Gorman has chosen to remain with us before he returns to Australia and possibly to the challenging environment of rapidly emerging Western Aus- tralia. ral part of education, Mr. Sanderson is deter- mined that it should play a more important role in the life at Shawnigan. Mr. Sanderson Mr. Sanderson was born in England and re- ceived his early musical training at York Min- ster under the late Sir Edward Bairstow. War- time service in the Royal. Navy included a stint in Fleet minesweepers, during which time he was severely wounded. Transferred to Naval In- telligence, he spent the rest of World War II in the Aegean, working with guerillas to free Greece from the German occupation, and was in Athens throughout the bitter civil war which broke out after this had been accomplished. Mr. Sanderson continued his interrupted educa- tion at the Royal Academy of Music in London in 1947, after which he did post-graduate work in Paris under the great French musician, Maurice Durufle Mr. Sanderson came to Shawnigan to take charge of Music after a distinguished recital career in Europe, where his broadcasts of organ music for the B.B.C., Radiodiffusion-Television Francaise, Radio Geneva, Radio Munich and other European networks included many first performances. Believing that music is an integ- M. V. R. Nuth Mr. Nuth was born near Swansea, South Wales and was raised in Gloucester in the West Country of England. He attended Crypt Gram- mer School in Gloucester and went on to Oxford University from which he graduated with an Honours Degree in Modern Languages. After in- advertently shooting a Turkish cow on the island of Cyprus (having mistaken it for a terrorist), selling tires in France and England and teaching at Cheltenham Grammer School and in Ipswich, Suffolk, Mr. Nuth decided to come to Shawnigan to take over the Modern Languages Department. In this short time at Shawnigan he has shown his desire to raise the standards of French through his hard work and has developed Field Hockey into a major sport. His drive and humour will always be appreciated at Shawnigan. 12
