Hosgood The Class of 74 Head Boy Martin Maclachlan Martin, a five-year man from Shawnigan Lake, led the school, as head boy, through a difficult year. Apart from winning school and house colours in academics, he has been president of the VTR, was the editor of this magazine, has helped in the chapel as a server, played in the band, sung in the choir, has represented the school on numerous occassions for debating and public speaking, and has had a hand in almost everything else as well. Last spring he represented the school and the province at the national debating finals in Halifax and from there went directly to Ottawa for public speaking. When asked what he felt was his most important position in the school he replied: Being a policeman in the ' Pirates of Penzance ' , of course. Martin (Once known as Chiplet) intends to study at UVic next year with intentions of becoming an economist and lawyer, then perhaps an MP and maybe even PM. 16

Grads ' 74

Gordon Campbell A veteran from the grade eight days, Gord found his pleasure playing second row on the 1st XV and rowing in the 1st IV. He could often be found playing squash or trying his hand at basketball. It was not surprising that he was made Head of House at the beginning of this year, for he showed great promise in grade eleven as last year ' s Juniors well know. In his final year, Gord ' s status showed through; his justice was indisputable and his word law. But his crackling humour was welcome at any time of the day. Hopefully he will do as well wherever he goes as he did at Shawnigan. Richard Chang Richard came to Shawnigan in his grade eleven year. He is a friendly, responsible and hard-working boy from Hong Kong. Whilst only at the school for one year, Rich was ap- pointed as Head of Ripley ' s. Apart from the duties he carries, he is on the diligence list all year with an average of over 70%. He shows his leadership not only as head of house but also in Math. Rich is the school swimming captain and a member of the basketball team. He also plays rugby, soccer, and golf. Next year Rich will be trying his luck at either UVic or UBC. Tristan de Koninck Tristan came to the school in his grade twelve year and immediately set about making an impression in the school. Peewee led the 2nd XV in points scored, and became a strong rival to Mike Voegtlin on the basketball court. When not in the gym, Trist could be found in his room reading Superman comics. From here he will make his way to Royal Roads Military Academy where we wish him the best of luck. I a % ■ Nicholas Fairbank Nicholas was, as most of us are glad to say, totally different from the rowdy expert on everything from Lake ' s House with a similar sounding name. Instead, when Nick wasn ' t busy winning trophies for his piano playing, blowing his horn in the Vancouver Island Sym- phony Orchestra, or even taking on the responsibilities of school organist and choirmaster, he would find time to serve in the church, be a policeman in the Pirates of Penzance (what legs!), or do the duties of a school prefect. All this means is that in addition to being a good student, an excellent prefect, and a future doctor, Nick Fairbank did more than most boys to introduce a spark of not just musical, but artistic culture into the school. 17
