Salvete I. C. BORROWMAN Born and educated in Scotland, Mr. Bor- rowman is a professional teacher of eighteen years standing who received a Masters degree with honours at the University of Edinburgh in English language and literature. His numer- ous and impressive qualifications have enabled him to teach at many distinguished institutions in both Europe and North America. He has lec- tured and acted as Examiner of English at Cam- bridge and in the Province of Quebec, and in addition has been involved in radio and TV in Eastern Canada. Having joined the staff of the school as head of English, Mr. Borrowman has significantly raised the standard of the debat- ing, and his other interests include travel, lan- guages and chess. Further progress in these areas is assured with his assistance, and we sin- cerely hope his presence is of a lasting nature. R. C. SMITH Mr. Smith was born, raised and educated in Fife, Scotland. He later spent two years as a backroom boy in Scotland Yard while study- in part-time at St. Martin ' s School of Art in London, England. He then graduated with a DA. (Edin.) from Edinburgh College of Art, at Heriot-Wiatt University, and in his graduate year received his Diploma in Education. The following year saw him teach in a variety of pri- vate schools in Scotland, and he came to Shaw- nigan from the provincial public school system. Among his contributions to the school are his leadership of the art club, which included new areas of experimentation such as sculpture. He also helped with the outdoors club and sailing activities. A lover of soccer and darts, Mr. Smith soon became acquainted with ice hockey and is now an ardent Montreal supporter. R. A. HUDSPITH Mr. Hudspith was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and received his early education at the mission school there, before moving on to Eng- land for a year. He then came to Canada, grad- uated, and received his B.Sc. in math at Seattle Pacific College, and B.Ed, at the University of Alberta in 1963. He came to Shawnigan from Lake Cowichan Senior Secondary School, and in his first year has displayed a great deal of interest and involvement. As head of the maths department, he has coached under-16 basket- ball, cross country and track and field, as well as Lonsdales House tutor. In fulfilling these tasks, his high standards of discipline and de- termination are always strongly evident and much appreciated. We hope he and his family have found a home here at Shawnigan, and that he will continue in his connection with the school. 11

The Chapel Services for the year 1970-71 have continued along much the same lines as in recent years, viz.: 1. A Celebration of Holy Communion on Sun- days at either 8 a.m. or 8 p.m., and on Saints ' Days at 9 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. (this latter change in time for rather ob- vious reasons!) 2. Matins on Sundays at 9:30 a.m., with an occasional Evensong instead at 7 p.m. There has also been Morning Prayer for the whole School on Wednesdays and Evening Prayers on a voluntary basis on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So the balance between corporate and in- dividual worship has been preserved. At these services where attendance has been optional, there was an overall average at- tendance for the year of twenty-one, which is considered to be a very fair response. It must be conceded, however, that the Chapel did have to take second place to the Stanley Cup play- On a few Sundays, ipstead of Matins, we had special performances by the Choir - Bach ' s Christmas Oratorio sung by the combined choirs of Queen Margaret ' s and Shawnigan- Henry Purcell ' s Ceremonial Music for Trum- pet and Organ; and a recital of Music for Pas- siontide, the latter two played by Mr J L The Chapel Sanderson, Organist and Choirmaster, to whom we are greatly indebted for a much improved standard in the Chapel music. We are also grateful to our visitors, the Right Reverend F. R. Gartrell, Bishop of Brit- ish Columbia, who administered the Rite of Confirmation and also gave the address at the Graduation Service; the Reverend G. A. Rus- kel , Rector of St. John ' s Shaughnessy; and Mr. Myles Elhssen, former Lake ' s Housemaster and Bursar who spoke on Founder ' s Day. It is encouraging to note that the Chapel if s !? 0t lacking in volunteers to help with the day to day running, which was largely in the hands of Des Bazett (Senior Sacristan) Paul Stremic (Senior Server) and Mike Rob- inson (Crucifer.) Our thanks to them and to the following who assisted - Graeme Moore David Ross, Graeme Percival, Stephen Baker! Bill Hoefer, Nicholas Fairbanks, Martin Mac- Lachlan David Stannard, Steve Roskell, and John Oakley (Servers) and Robbie Bourne Graeme Moore, Graeme Percival, Eugene Kil- gor, Jeff Winslow, David McColl, Peder Sha- han, David Chesman and Mike Reynolds (Sac- ristans.) We are also most grateful to those staff wives who kindly arranged the flowers. W. H. H. McClelland, Chaplain 10

M. T. WILTON Born in New Zealand, Mr. Wilton proceed- ed to graduate from the University of Aukland with a Masters Degree and a Diploma of Edu- cation. He came to Shawnigan following a per- iod in Eastern Canada during which he taught at another private school. Although his works within the classroom have been confined to French, Mr. Wilton has been a prime factor in the reformation of the debating society, an activity at which he has spent many hours as- sisting and familiarizing students with the art of debating. In addition he still found time to help coach during the rugby season and to act as a tutor in Copeman ' s House. Unfortunately, Mr. Wilton leaves us after only the one year, but we thank him all the same for his efforts and hope the future brings him success. Valete G. P. HILL Mr. Hill came from the King ' s School in Kent to Shawnigan in 1969, and filled in as Housemaster of Lakes during Mr. Anderson ' s absence. In addition to fulfilling the many dut- ies required by this he has taught English and Geography and still found time to organ- ize chess and a scribbler ' s club. Sportswise he can be remembered for coaching the Junior Colts in rugby, and assisting with cricket, vol- leyball and tennis. He is headed for a House- mastership at St. Georges School in Vancouver next year and plans to embark on a great deal of travel thereafter. His good nature and hum- our will remain in the minds of many and we wish him the best of luck for the future. B. S. GORMAN Mr. Gorman came to Shawnigan via Great Britain, Europe and the Middle East. In the two years he has been with the school, he has become very involved not only in his teaching but many outside the classroom endeavours. A proficient sportsman, he will be appreciated for his instruction in the areas of weight-train- ing, squash and cricket, tasks which he handled masterfully. In addition he served as assistant Housemaster in Groves, and from him advice and counsel were readily given. A native of Australia, he plans to renew contact with the education system there, and will do this as a newlywed. To this we offer our congratula- tions. Of British Columbia, Mr. Gorman has frequently stated he has enjoyed his stay and will never find better fishing. 12
