ROB CARERE In many ways Rob was the leader of the Grade. Naturally as Assistant Head Boy and Captain of rugby this would be ex- pected but his leadership was much greater. Due to his fun-loving character, humour, athletic ability, carefree ways and magnetic personality, his actions and opinions were always regarded and usually accepted and followed. Rob ' s life at the school (and away from it) was very busy but he found time for many activities. He captained the 1st XV in his third year on the team and led the team to an undefeated sea- son and the B.C. Championship. At the end of the season he was chosen as captain of the B.C. V19 Reps, a fitting tribute to his play as probably the best high school player in B.C. He was also a member of the 1st VIII, a star of the stage in Julio Cesar and Sweet and Sour, a debater, a gourmet, an artist, and a chorister. His good looks, puns, females, magic smile and leadership have been a part of Shawnigan for four years and will be sorely missed. KEVIN CHRISTIE Kevin was another Copeman ' s House student who worked quietly and reaped rewards regularly. He had a talent for many subjects especially History and Geography in which he always did extremely well. His general knowledge was amazing as wit- nessed in the Reach for the Top competition after which he re- ceived his House Academic Colours. And finally as a reward he won the Grade Twelve History Prize, an acknowledgement of his exceptional ability. Kevin was captain of the Rifle Club, an excellent shot him- self, and the untiring hooker of the 3rd XV. As a prefect he was a hard worker who came very near to controlling the rowdy Copeman ' s Juniors. Plans for next year include University in Al- berta and eventually the study of Geology where the future seems very bright for him. LARRY CHUNG Since coming here in grade 9, Larry has certainly Deen suc- cessful in many spheres of school life. Playing on the senior basketball team since grade 11 and on the 1st XI since grade 10, Larry got his cricket colours in grade 11 and was considered one of the teams best batsmen. He made hooker on the 1st XV and certainly deserved his colours, but well we all know. In academics too he excelled, winning the Binkley Biology Prize in grade 11. Charlie was disliked by no one for he was always smiling and cheerful. He doesn ' t really need good luck in the years to come, but all his friends, from grommits to masters wish it to him. CHRIS COLLINS Chris was one of the few who had the willpower and deter- mination to stay here since grade eight and certainly benefited from those five years. Along with his ever-present side kick Jim, Chris got to know most of Shawnigan ' s one hundred and sixty acres, for you could always see him going or returning from one of his expeditions in- to the bushes. Chris was also an avid cross-country runner and sailor, and represented the school many times in these sports. Next year Chris will be back in West Vancouver continuing to lead an easy life. 21

DEZ BAZETT Desmond was one of those people who got along inside the school in an unobtrusive, pleasant way. He gave a considerable amount of his time helping with the construction of the grad set and the erection of the mountain hut in Strathcona Park. Des be- came an accomplished marksman in the rifle club and received various awards. Along with Jim Boughton and Bill Cereske, Des formed the Mr. Hilton fan club and could often be seen trans- porting old furniture, which Mr. Hilton gave them, to their own club behind the maintenance shop. Des kept a spotless habitat, and was therefore, the only boy in the entire history of the school to receive the Good House- keeping Seal of Approval. JIM BOUGHTON Jim was a very down to earth person who having spent five years at Shawnigan knew the ins and especially the outs of the system. He liked to use his hands (so they say at the Shawnaire) and could regularly be found hard at work building a car, making a stage set, rushing around the woodwork shop with a new proj- ect, or behind the wheel of the hunky. His accomplishments were mainly behind the scenes, but they were appreciated and will be remembered as will his char- acteristic walk, smile, and good nature. ROB BOURNE Robbie, as his mother and everyone else called him, the last of the Bourne dynasty, was definitely not the least. The Captain of Rowing and cox of the 1st VIII, smallest member of the 1st XV, and probably the best gymnast the school had ever seen, he proved that he is by no means a small man. In recognition of his leader- ship and ability in games he was awarded the Sportsmanship Cup. He knew how to have fun too, unfortunately he had too many girls after him to keep Rob Carere happy. His facial contortions and imitations always kept the head table in stitches and his go- go routine had to be seen to be believed. He spent much of his time proving again his agility and stage presence, in Sweet and Sour, he was social convener for the Film Society, sang in the choir, and cooked and consumed his own concoctions at the Gourmet Club. His bright face which has lit up the campus for five years and his humour will be missed. We wish him luck leading the rowers this summer in Europe. 20

MICHAEL EAYDS Mike had been at Shawnigan on and off for the past four years. Despite this inconsistency, Mike has contributed a lot to S.L.S. He was captain of the 2nd XV during one of its most suc- cessful seasons and developed into a fine gymnast as well as an excellent rower. He was a house prefect with a very colourful dis- position having received four house colours during the summer term. After Europe, you ' ll probably find Mike (if you ' re lucky) hiding at U.B.C. from all the chicks who fell in love with him. PAUL ELWORTHY Paul came to the school in his grade ten year and developed into one of the finest rowers of the rowing club. He was break on the 2nd XV and a house prefect. P.B. will surely be remembered as the person with the talent of meeting all kinds of people and things. Corporal Mantik and the tree at the gates of the school! Next year after the tour, Paul will be attending U.B.C. continuing in his quest of meeting all types of characters. BLAIR FAIRWEATHER A school prefect and Head of Lake ' s in his final year, Blair ' s tireless work at the school dates back to his grade 8 year. A sac- ristan, Lake ' s house scholar, whose averages were always high, a member of the senior basketball team, vice-captain of the track team - these were just some of his accomplishments. It was however ajs a prefect that his real qualities shone through. His justice was fair, he was at all times ready to take on more work, which was always done efficiently, and yet he could always show the lighter side if the occasion warranted it. Having continued the fine Fairweather tradition we wish him all the best in the future. DAVE FULTON Dave was one of those students who did a great deal of work behind the scenes and was never given due credit for it. He ran the V.T.R. with competence and many a dance was made more interesting by Davey ' s creative touch, with the lighting. When Dave wasn ' t excelling at marksmanship he was excelling at Physics. He also began to enjoy the finer workings of the guitar after years of borrowing Hunt ' s guitar. David is going to spread his personality back to Alberta where he will attend the U. of A. and will no doubt have many appre- ciative acquaintances as he did at Shawnigan. Good luck! 22
