J. B. McKinnon Mr. McKinnon grew up in Victoria and received his early university education at UVic from 1968 to 1972. During these years he worked in the summer as an assistant to an organ builder. With this organ builder he came to tune the school organ and this was the first time that he had contact with a school, to which, after a year working on an M.A. in classics at St. Chad ' s College, Durham, he would come to teach Latin, Greek, English, Math and Woodwork; occasionally play the organ, take the chapel ser- vice, or direct the choir; and at the same time act as librarian. We hope that with this dedication Shawnigan will not soon lose him. G. Zinkan The editors feels that they can only add to Mr. Zinkan ' s own Curriculum Vitae with these assets he can ' t miss, and although he doesn ' t need it - we wish him luck. Detailed Resume Gaither Zinkan 24 years old Sportsman Extraordinaire Graduated 1973 U of Vic, B.A. History Distinguished Feature: Moustache Part-Time Staff H. Berginck As choirmaster and organist at the school, Mr. Berginck has demonstrated his skills, especially with his improvised voluntaries, in such a way that it leaves no doubt why his Cen- tennial Carillon concerts are so enjoyed in Victoria. B. Brackett The school is indeed fortunate in having the services of Mr. Brackett. Part of the time he lives on board the ketch Crusader which he uses to teach boys about sailing on the weekends. These trips have been enormously popular and if more boys could have found the time they too would have gone. At the school he teaches woodwork and maintains the rowing shells. We hope not to lose a man with such skills for some time.

Salvete Mr. K. J.Gillett Mr. Gillett was born in England in 1949 and emigrated to Canada ten years later. After spending three years at Shawnigan, during which time he made quite a name for himself as an actor, he went on to study at U.B.C. and U. Vic. He then went abroad for two years, earning what he likes to call a Diplome d ' Etudes Francaises in Aix-en-Provence. Returning to teach at Shawnigan this year Mr. Gillett is interested in all sports, the performing arts, and a broad, unspecialized education. We wish him luck as a teacher at Shawnigan, for as a master in French and Mathematics, he ' ll need it. Mr. S. A. S. Lane Mr. Lane was born in the U.K. in 1950 and was educated there until he came to Shawnigan for his final year in 1966-67. He attended the University of Victoria where he received a B.Sc. in Mathematics. After spending a year doing volunteer work at a mission hospital in South Africa, Mr. Lane married, joined the staff at Shawnigan, and started living on the Lake. It ' s hard to believe so many good things could happen in one year! Mr. A. R. McDiarmid Mr. McDiarmid is a native British Columbian who graduated as Head Boy from Shawnigan in 1965. After a B.A. at the University of Victoria he spent four years in Halifax. However, it was too cold and so he decided to return to B.C. to teach. Thus with an M.A. from ' Dalhousie and a B.Ed, from St. Mary ' s University, Mr. McDiarmid is found aging quickly, teaching English at Shawnigan. His interests still include sports - he coaches Rugby and Rowing - and as most students know - dogs. He assures the editors he is enjoying Shawnigan very much - again - and especially has enjoyed seeing some of the old boys from his years here. We wish him well.

Discovering an interest in and an aptitude for art he trained in pottery with Geoff Whiting before combining the two. Now, having been in Canada for eight years, he lives by teaching but also runs a pottery business. L. de la Haye Mr. de la Haye studied at the Royal Conservatory of London. He now teaches wood- wind at the Victoria Conservatory and gives band and music appreciation classes for the lower island. S. Nail Mr. Nail is a professional artist who makes his home in Ladysmith. Trained at the Lancaster College of Art and the Liverpool School of Art. He specializes in portrait painting. He tells us that it is refreshing to be among young people and to have the opportunity to make boys aware of art in the environment as well as in the classroom. New Boys Andersen, J. H. Anderson, B.
