Michael Karram Coffee Bean as he was known to a chosen few, came to Shawnigan in his peaceful final year. Mike ' s pastime was bicycling to Strathcona almost every day. He said that he was just going to visit his sisters but everyone knows that there is some other reason. Apart from enjoying a life a few miles from here, Mike played badminton and soccer. No one will ever forget the day the Boys took on the Masters in soccer, and Mike gave a dazzling display of fancy footwork. Wherever Mike goes he will be remem- bered by his precious Sugar Cane Boy. Cornel Kwan Although Cornel has been at Shawnigan for the past three years, he spent most of them on the telephone and writing letters. Cornel enjoys and does well in sports, and con- siders basketball and track as his main two. It was said that Cornel couldn ' t do work without food in his hand and mouth, which would account for his marks in Economics. His future lies in Business Administration, where he will obviously succeed. Gordon Lai Gordon, who came to us in the fall of 72 from Hong Kong, is a quiet but friendly person. He is keen on Math and is taking a university Calculus course this year. Other interests include riflery, bicycle riding, and fishing for dogfish on cold winter mornings. He also loves to cook various Chinese delicacies. Gord plans to study Mechanical Engineering next year at UVic. Randy Lynch After joining us in grade 11, Randy attempted to institute gum chewing as an ac- tivity. Existing as the other part of the infamous Inseparable Twins of Groves House, he became known for laughing himself to sleep. Along with his triumphs (?) on the rugby and grass hockey fields plus the squash courts, he leads the badminton as captain. Skipping over his disasters, we know that Randy has enjoyed his tenure here at Shawnigan and will surely stitch himself to the outside in a successful manner. 19

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

William McQuaid Bill was an affable and jolly fellow who took life as it came. Kind and jokingly stern he handled the juniors very well, even when they forced him to use his deadly strangle hold, I suppose you could say they died laughing. His wit was razor sharp and he could always cheer one up. He was a fierce competitor in rugby and rowing, but his main pastimes were studying and walking. Bill has plans to fly helicopters for an Okanagan company. We wish Bill well in the future and hope that he doesn ' t crash. David Mead Dave came to us in Grade 11 and seemed to fit in right off. He is a house prefect for Ripley ' s house, garrisoned in the junior wing and you can usually find him disciplining his squad late at night, from which he has acquired the title Fearless Leader . Dave ' s good nature and strong personality have earned him the respect of the school. He has been an effective member of the senior basketball first string and makes a good showing on a tennis court. Academically Dave does well, in fact you often see him at the Galley with the young ladies whom he says he is tutoring - but we know differently, don ' t we Dave? Mark Reekie Mark came to Copeman ' s house in Grade 10 and due to a friendly disposition he got along well with anyone and by grade twelve succeeded in becoming a suc- cessful house prefect. Mr. Versatile was on the second fifteen and he played a total of six different positions! Besides rugby he played badminton, tennis and won house colours in basketball. His numerous hobbies included art, gourmet club, photography, aeroplanes, and many friendly chats with Ross Sterling. Mark hopes to attend Pacific College in Oregon and crash into the field of aeronautics. He will be remembered best for his extraordinary laugh which could be picked out in a crowd of millions. Stephen Roskell When Steve first came in Grade 9 he became an object of interest due to his gargantuous build, but his good nature soon won him many lasting friends. Steve was one of those people who you could always count on to hav.e a new answer to some mysterious, electrical problem, and often he had the equipment to bring his brain children to life from dark corners and his abundant cookie tins. If you were ever so lucky as to have peeped into those tins you might have seen the fruits of Steve ' s talent at a metal lathe. Athletically, dynamic Steve was into everything but not all at once. It took two years of rowing before he realised that sailing was more his cup of tea. After a year of excelling in sailing he turned to squash. Steve was also a first fifteen scrummer for two years and led his house to a first in senior-sevens during his grad year. Of course there was also Steve ' s keen sense of justice, which made him the obvious choice for Senior house prefect. Wherever Steve plans to spend the coming years his house and school wish him well. 20
