L. Compton Mr. Compton was originally trained as a teacher at Birmingham University. 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.

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.

The Chapel This year our Matins service was held on Saturday mornings at 9:45 though it was held, on occasions, at 8:45 to allow students to go on leave earlier. It was found to be quite a success in comparison to the former Sunday evening services. Since the beginning of November, most of the Tuesday evening services were taken by boys. Martin MacLachlan, Scott Larsen, Don MacGregor, Jackie Parker, Dan John- ston and Brian Salter participated in this program as well as Mr. McKinnon, who also helped with some Saturday services. Eighteen boys were confirmed by Bishop Gartrell on February 23rd. The service was within the setting of the Eucharist and following this it has been suggested that in the future we should have a Choral Eucharist once a term. The boys confirmed were: An- drew Balshaw, Ross Sterling, David Marjoribanks, David Davies, Frank Miller, Klaig Morton, Peter Oleson, Randy West, Calvin Beans, James Gilchrist, Bruce Gilmore, Jeff McDougall, Chris Milner, Marc Prioleau, Lawrence Wardroper, Ross Fullbrook, Dan Johnston, Michael Thome. The only guest speaker we had this year was Colonel Groves, an old boy of the school, who spoke on Founder ' s Day. Nicholas Fairbank was crucifer this year and, along with Mr. McKinnon. was the assistant organist, playing when Mr. Berginck was absent. We had ten servers with Richard Millyard as Senior Server, and twelve sacristans with Martin Fairbank as Senior Sacristan. Mr. McClelland would like to thank them all for their willing help in the chapel. M.F. The Library The Library has been very successful this year under the leadership of Mr. McKinnon who took over from Mr. Salmon. With his help many new books have enriched the reading material of the school. This has been especially true of the fiction section. In collaboration with Mr. McDiarmid, relevant works by well-known authors were added. The Library would not have been as successful as it was, without the help of the Library Personnel who were led by Bruno Linder-Messerschmidt. They kept the Library clean, no matter how hard the job sometimes was. A special thanks is given to all those parents and boys who have generously donated a large quantity of books which helped to raise the stan- dard of the library greatly.
