CHRIS MILLS Chris may be described as the school athlete as he partici- pated in just about every sport and excelled in each one. An out- standing example of his diversity was his skill in track and field where in the inter-house competition he won six of the ten events without practising. He was awarded his colours for rugby, basket- ball, track and field (even though he was not officially a mem- ber) and cricket. Chris was also one of the five boys from the school who represented B.C. against the Japanese. Between all those sports, Smiley found time to be in Sweet and Sour and held a party for the cast at the end of it as well. But the thing that Chris was most proud of was selling Mr. Gott- hardt a painting for $15.00, which only took him an hour to pro- duce! Chris will pursue a fine arts course at UVic for a while, any- way. IAN MONFORD One day somebody summed up Ian by calling his Mr. Po- tential. However in this last year at Shawnigan it has lost some of its meaning through his reaching much of his potential. Al- though he would have liked you to believe he was of average in- telligence he was actually quite bright and this year he began to show it as he received many high marks. As a rower he improved even from last year and for the second year he is rowing on the 1st VIII; one of the most powerful members of the crew. Some people say he must have derived his strength from his hair, but whatever he managed to keep it at quite a length all year. Ian was a gourmet, a senior member of the V.T.R. and was a season ' s ticket holder to Hockey Night in Canada in the Grey Gardens. Shawnigan has done a great deal for Ian and he has learned the satisfaction of a job well done. Next year that satis- faction takes the form of a year out of school. GRAHAM MOORE Graham was one of the most diligent members of the class and in many subjects, especially History; one of the best. His knowledge often at least equalled that of Mr. Anderson on many subjects and on some he was definitely the peer. The Crout was a very concerned and conscientious prefect who always pursued his own duties as well as those disregarded by others with a smile. As a sacristan, a member of the choir, a prefect, a first rate student, and as head of the non-existent Shawnigan Gestapo he has displayed his effort and care. Next year will see him strutting the halls at U.B.C. and may- be even starting a Nazi uprising. GREG MORRIS Stretch as he quickly became known (for some reason,) in this his first year at Shawnigan adapted himself to the Shawnigan way of life like the rabbit to winter. Greg fitted in well, maintained a good academic standing, excelled at shooting and was a friendly face in the Grove ' s House Junior Dorm. He was accepted happily into the class of ' 71 and he has proven himself a member in good standing. He learned quickly the ins and outs of Grade Twelve and when the spring thaw finally came he showed his true col- ours; greencheck pants and a green corduroy jacket matched the landscape and he was the best dressed man on campus. Greg plans to eventually enter dentistry but may fall back on modelling. 27

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

HAL OSTLUND A prefect in his final year, Hal will always be missed by the photo club. This hobby may well turn into a profession, for his photographs in his senior years were fascinating works of art. It is to Hal that almost all of the fine photography of last year ' s Stag must be accredited and for his efforts in this field he be- came a member of the Stag Club. He was also a valuable member of the rowing club, going to Europe as a member of the 2nd VIII. We wish Hal the same success he enjoyed at Shawnigan in the years ahead. BOB OUGHTRED Bob was the epiphany of a student at Shawnigan in almost every way. He reigned over Grove ' s House in a firm, authorative manner (with the help of his faithful slave midnight .) He gained both his rugby and rowing colours for outstanding contributions to both first teams. In rugby it is interesting to note that Bob scored the most points for a grade 11 and for a grade 12 on the first XV. Ootred lived with a large negro chap in the Grove ' s house executive suite and wrote 365 letters to one particular friend of his in Nanaimo. He has decided to continue his highly scholastic career at the University of Victoria, and to accompany him in his academic triumphs there will be Pat Healy. Bob even won the pie eating contest, a rather remarkable feat indeed. MARK PATTERSON Mark was quiet in his ways, probably the kindest person in the school. He was a very conscientious prefect but was still pop- ular among his little charges, an unusual combination. He worked as well at his duties as he did in his schoolwork and was proor that it is possible to survive and thrive in Shawnigan without be- ing a cynic or without being sarcastic. His most important job was as captain of both Track and Field and Cross Country. He surely knew the loneliness of the long distance runner, training all year round and competing at distances from 400 yards to 10 miles, and reaching a very high standard. We wish him luck running in Europe this summer and at U.B.C. next year. BRIAN PINTON Brian, whose fine record collection made his dorm the dur- ing classes lounge, enjoyed a very fine grade twelve. Apart from enjoying himself he was a member of the 3rd XV and stroke of the 3rd VIII. Brian, sometimes known as Prince Valiant made a year long occupation of keening his hair Ions; and avoiding Mr. Hyde-Lay. To this end he developed a famous craze for Score. Brian enjoyed leaving Shawnigan and will no doubt have an excellent time while studying commerce at U.B.C. 28
