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

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

HARVEY RADMAN Harvey kept himself very active during his stay at Shawnigan no matter what time of the day. As the leading force in the Spade Club, Harvey did a great service to the communitv with his part- ies and activities for the retarded children. For his work he re- ceived numerous awards from the community of Duncan. But Harvey ' s claim to fame at Shawnigan, apart from his keen sense of humour, was one of marksmanship, he was one of the school ' s best shooters. We are all sure Harvey will make many friends at U.B.C. just as he did at Shawnigan. MIKE REYNOLDS Mike was one of the few people who was able to live a very individual life at Shawnigan and at the same time contribute to and take a great part in the school life. M.J. was the unofficial school M.C. and when it came to auctions, meetings and deeks his booming voice was always in evidence. He was a sacristan and a debater, but his greatest contribution came one day near the end of the Lent Term when he saved the main school from fire. He will be famous for this act for evermore. Mike was also a very hard-working student. He was an ex- cellent writer and won the History Prize for the second year run- ning and received top marks in English. And as a long distance runner he spent much time and punishment training and racing. The amazing thing about Mike was that at Shawnigan with so many social forces pushing and pulling and molding people he refused to be affected by any external forces and he managed to live as he desired as a true individual. MICHAEL ROBINSON From the very beginning, Mike proved that Shawnigan had gained greatly from its association with this six foot three Cal- ifornian. In rowing Mike developed into an outstanding member which led to him b eing on the heavy four that went to St. Cath- erines. His sport prowess did not stop here but continued into basketball in which he was captain of the senior team. His abil- ity did not stop with sports but overflowed into other areas. He had leadership qualities which caused him to be elected a school prefect and head of Ripley ' s. Added accomplishments included being Crucifer of the Chapel where he developed his voice resulting in him being a member of the Orgast society. Mike will be sorely missed next year for who will cause the halls to echo with Oooo! well now you ' re ab- solutely right, but . . . Next year you will probably see Mike at U.C.L.A. teaching the finer points of rowing to his fellow crew members. 29
