AL GIBSON Casual Al as he was known to many, put in five very pro- du ctive and peaceful years at Shawnigan. As a founding member of the Spade Club, Al put on many successful parties for the re- tarded children and spent a great amount of his time helping them. When he wasn ' t doing that or sleeping he would find time to take advantage of the facilities of the Red Lion. The one thing Al did make an effort in. was sports where he was the powerhouse of the 2nd VTII and a strong 2nd row of the 2nd XV. Al will attend UVic this fall and will no doubt take several courses in how to sound like a successful business man! GARY GREGSON When Gary first came to Shawnigan he undoubtedly missed the night life of Duncan. However, after putting ud with the rather morally undefiled Shawnigan society for a while, he de- cided to combine the two with the result being that he was in a constant stupor for nearly two years. As fullback on the 2nd XV, he thoroughly enjoyed kicking the ball a long way, and was also a very important member of the track and field team in the sprints and several field events. But Gorgeous Gary ' s greatest asset, as anyone will tell you, was with women. One heard many a provocative tale concerning Gary ' s Duncan wenching escapades. (For further information contact Bob Oughtred or Tony Harrison.) Gary ' s intentions are to live in residence at the University of Victoria in a fully mirrored apartment. Because that way it saves him the embarrassment of not knowing what a fine looking chap he really is. ANTHONY HARRISON The other half of the odd couple, Tony was one of the more easy members of the grad class. His presence was felt everywhere especially at breakfast where he never failed to arrive until the start of the second course. As a matter of fact this tardiness ex- tends to his first year when he didn ' t make in an appearance un- til the second term. Oscar one of the founder members of the organic ceramic club was a house prefect and one of the rowers on the 1st VIII going to Europe. He was a second row forward on the 1st XV during one of its most successful seasons. Next year we wish Tony good luck at whatever he ' s doing, no matter what time he starts. 23

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

PAT HEALY Pat lived with Brian Pinton and the two of them reigned in regal splendour from their executive suite on the top floor of Lonsdales. Pat was an occasional member of the 2nd XV and stroke of the the 2nd VIII, for which he received his school colours. When he wasn ' t exerting himself for the school he would be in his room exercising by lifting his couch up and down or trying out a new gourmet recipe. Pat is off to UVic and an apartment with Bob Oughtred which should prove to be a very academic experience. ANDREW HUNT Like our former Headmaster of six weeks, Wally dabbled in many things. Although he played tennis, rugby and squash, rowed and excelled in swimming and track and field, none of his sports suffered. He reached a very high level in every sport in which he took part. The only things that suffered were his studies. Possibly the most intelligent boy in the grade he fell below his very high potential to the disappointment of his parents and the Headmaster. Andrew was made of many talents and he displayed them regularly throughout his five year career at Shawnigan. Through his diligence in the Film Society he was elected President in his final year, and he will always be remembered for his very pro- fessional performance as Oliver in the Shawnigan Smash Hit Oliver. An example of his putting his mind to doing something and completing it was his taking up squash seriously this year when he learned he could not row in Europe this summer, and winning the B.C. Junior Singles Championship. GRANT HULBURT Grant was a very complex person, one of many opposites, of changing moods and humours but for the most part a very likeable and intelligent guy who has fitted well into Shawnigan. Within the School he has no peer as a writer, and he is probably more literate and better read than most men of seventy. He always maintained a high standard of academics, sometimes surprising many people (but not those who knew him) and for his ability and consistently high marks he was rewarded with his school colours. Athletically Grant was very enthusiastic and a great tryer who gained satisfaction from competing rather than winning but at the same time he shone in many a match for the 2nd game in rugby. As a librarian, head of the bridge club and a guy with whom many laughs could be had, he has added much to the life of the school. His only problem was one of communication, and when misunderstood it often led to much frustration for him. (Re- member the Airport scene where he flushed away his prefectship.) But for the past three years Grant has been an important member of Shawnigan and his wit, humour, and daring will be missed in the years to come. 24
