MIKE SHINNER What has hair all over, laughs a lot, lives in Lake ' s and is a prize to trophy hunters? Moose, of course! Many a dull night or routine afternoon have been avoided in Mike ' s dorm with his tales of Peruvian ghosts and the like. Among other talents Mike spoke the most fluent French in the school, but his most famous was his skill on the pool table. Yes, Mike and his cue will go far, leaving laughing people in his wake. MIKE SINE Right from the beginning of grade 9 Mike demonstrated that Shawnigan had received a fine asset in this cheerful guy from Calgary. As Lake ' s house prefect Mike set a fine example while main- taining his sense of humour and justice. Mike was always good academically, always having historical facts at his fingertips and ran a most profitable Ritz, for himself, that is! We are sure Mike ' s cheerful nature will make him a success in whatever field he chooses. ASA P. K. STREMIC From the time P.K. came to Shawnigan four years ago till his last day he was organizing, whether it be the Assembly Hall, Kitchen or some underhanded scheme Black was always in charge. He knew the school and the village better than any other person and he was always the first to know of any Big Screws. In all seriousness P.K. has an organizational ability, and diligence for everything he does and he is sure to be a success in future life. He certainly was at Shawnigan. He was a steadfast, fire- fighter, a very efficient school prefect, the brain and hard work behind the running of the Assembly Hall and every stage perfor- mance of the past four years, and generally the man in the know and on the go around the school. And for being who he is, a per- son dedi cated to the school he was awarded his stag colours early in the year. He was a great character and he did much for integration and civil rights within the school. He was a fiery prop on the 2nd XV and he rowed on the 2nd VIII and Big IV. He will be sorely missed next year at the school while he will be infiltrating the administration of the University of Washington campus. 30

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

ERIC WILLIAMS Except for the occasional outburst Eric was actually a very gentle creative person. He was always busy either discovering the culinary delights of garlic soup, or on the stage in Sweet and Sour, or working on his latest piece of artistry, or quietly read- ing a book, or playing along to Hendrix. Rugby was just another form of art to him. Having propped for the 1st XV for two years in his final year he was appointed Vice-Captain and helped lead the team to victory, keeping things cool in the scrum with the occasional Unhand me, or Play the game. The season ended with his sel- ection to the B.C. V19 rugby team to play against the Japanese. He also was a member of the 2nd VIII and the track team, and because of his strength and athletic ability and his very physical appearance many people had the wrong impression of him, he was actually very sensitive. If Shawnigan can do a lot for a person, Eric is a prime ex- ample, a man of many talents, he has learned to use them all. CHRIS ZORKIN Chris as head of Lonsdales, was a natural leader, for he was one who could lead by example. A diligent student who worked hard, a good sculler and great gymnast, Chris was a true all- rounder. There was nothing he couldn ' t overcome when he put hite brains to it. Despite having his leg in a cast for most of grade eleven, Chris became one of the schools top gymnasts and put on many fine sculling performances while in Europe with the rowing team. Chris was also one of the more popular boys in the grad class, especially on Sundays, when he went home and could often be seen enjoying himself immensely with a group of friends. Chris is off the UVic where no doubt he will carry on in the same fine way that he did at Shawnigan. The Graduating Class 1971 Back Roiv, (left to right) : C. Backman, J. Atkins, A. Gibson, M.
