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

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

MIKE McCOLL Mike was one of the more creative members of the Grad Class. An artist of some stature he could often be found working in the art club, or preparing a rugby poster, and for the most part of the Summer Term working on the Grad Dance decorations. His suggestion of Gastown as a theme and the ultimate comple- tion of an excellent reproduction within the Assembly Hall was a tribute to his ability and dedication. Much of his time in the Win- ter Term was put into the Stag and many thanks are due to him for the production of that endeavour. To everything he did brought an ebullient enthusiasm and a little something extra all his own. To his rugby he brought a style which though not always the safest was very effective and enabled him to be 1st XI mater- ial for two years. It was a common sight to see a huge wing on the ground near the goal line, having been foiled by this small but cheeky fullback. Mike was an all-round athlete and played cricket on the 1st XI as well as supporting the Badminton, Vol- leyball and Sailing Teams. Mike always had a number of girls at hand, sometimes too many (like the time he met Mr. MacLachlan at 1 o ' clock outside the Main School) and next year he ' ll probably be seen flailing his arms and stuttering while trying to explain his way out of many more embarrassing situations. MIKE MAGUIRE Mike enjoyed playing the piano and became very accomp- lished at it, winning the school music prize. He also composed all of the music for Sweet and Sour which he co-produced with Mr. Hughes. Mike excelled to his peak of individualism on the rugby field on the 2nd XV and a spare-spare for the cross-country team. He was also an excellent debater, sailor and letter writer, but Mike ' s strongest asset was his tireless efficient work for the school of which he was proud to be a part. For his efforts in this line he received the Citizenship Cup, three times in all, in his final year. Mike is going to U.B.C. to pursue the study of the fine arts. JOCELYN MILLAR As often happens when someone has an unusual name, a number of nicknames will grow up. This was the case with Vul- cher , I mean Plankton, I mean Gawk. Jose was the only per- son in the past five years to skip a grade at Shawnigan, and even when he was a year ahead of himself he remained at the head of the class, and if strength and intelligence could be measured relatively he was probably stronger than he was smart. He could do more chin-ups than a monkey and he put his strength to use propping on the 2nd XV and rowing on the 3rd VIII. Joce also found time to be treasurer of the Film Society and to do the lighting for many a stage production, and for the tre- mendous task or organizing the Grad Dance as Head of the Grad Committee. In the last weeks of term Joce was awarded his stag colours for his many contributions and for his high standard of academics. 26
