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

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

CHRIS JANEWAY Sailing and Chris have been synonomous since his grade 10 days. Skipper Janeway could always be found winning regat- tas or out on an afternoon cruise trying to forget the hard day ' s toil. Chris was also a valuable member of the cross-country team. Next to sailing Chris was most famous for his laugh. Usually quiet and reserved, when Chris started laughing there was no stopping him. Chris ' bright face among the sea of frowns will long be missed at Shawnigan. IAN JOHNSON Ian will sorely be missed by Mr. Gotthardt for it was under his tuition that he developed as both a fine gymnast and sculler. In both of these sports Ian represented the school with great success, receiving his colours and competing in Europe as a sculler. He was also a strong member of the 3rd XV. Ian contributed to the school in many ways and will long be remembered at Shawnigan. VICTOR KIMOLA Vic Kimola, a recent member to Shawnigan, having come in grade eleven, nevertheless made his mark on the school. Tofino could be seen most everywhere with his guitar and then there were the excursions in the sail boats where he seemed to let him- self float along with the breeze. Next year, at the University of Victoria, Tofino will have to contend with After UVic . . . but he will persevere with his usual good nature. In the coming year you may find Vic by simply following the flow of music to its source (but you had better wear some ear muffs.) THOMAS LAI Tom Lai came to Shawnigan in his grade eleven year. He ar- rived with lots of spirit and an eager mind which he soon dem- onstrated in math, physics and chem. He also started to learn the finer points of the English language from his colourful room- mates. Chairman Mao was an avid member of the photo club and was always taking pictures of strategic developments in and around the school. Tom will always be remembered as the only person to ever get caught taping a masters ' meeting. Next year, you ' ll probably find him at UVic inciting Maoist type riots. 25
