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

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

Keith Ferguson Keith or Fergy is another one of those students who have been here for the full five years, and every year he got the same hassles about his father being the Bursar of the school. The present captain of the Rifle Club, Keith is also the best shot in the school. He enjoys squash and has the talent to excel in the sport. Keith plans to attend Malaspina College next year or somehow get into the field of Forestry. He would like to follow his father ' s footsteps and make lots of money. Scott Ferguson Scott, who rightly earned the name Tree as soon as he walked through the main door has been with us for two years. Scott is possessed with a good sense of humour and turns most things into a joke, including academics. Scott was also house captain of swim- ming and participated in most sports. He did, though, excel in basketball. The only things he disliked were being away from his bed, and working. Scott hopes to go to Okanagan College and pick up the few pea-sorting courses he missed at Shawnigan. Norman Geiger Norm Geiger came to us in his Grade Twelve year and although he had a broken leg from a motorcycle accident, we soon found that he was such a good motor- cyclist that it could have been through no fault of his that the accident occurred. Later on Norm also impressed us with not only his theoretical knowledge of mechanics but also electronics. This taken with his other achievements, it seems superfluous to wish him good luck in the future. Christopher Hosgood Chris came to Shawnigan in grade eight, and after three years of Tweety rose to become head of Lonsdale ' s. He played rugby and captained the second XV to a very suc- cessful year. When not on the rugby fields he was captaining the school in squash, playing on the first hockey team or editing the Literary Magazine. Hos was a great houseman who contributed a lot to Lonsdale ' s not only as captain of squash, badminton, and cross-country, but as their lawful leader. We wish Chris well and hope that he will drop in for tea next year. 18
