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

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

Dallas Ross Since arriving in grade ten Dallas more than anyone has left his mark on the school. He has that rare ability not to let the school interfere with his social life and can make the best out of any situation he is caught in. Aside from being famous for having a couch that sags at the sides, and jingles when kicked, Dallas also left his mark on the rugby field - playing for the 1st XV. He rowed on the 1st IV and captained his house in track. Yes, Dallas will long be remembered by all and never forgotten by his Junior Dorm, where he left a few more marks. Alan Sawers Al was a five year man and something of an athlete. He was in Rugby, Track and Field, and got School colours in both. He also dabbled in squash, basketball, and schoolwork. Al was a House Prefect, and with his roommate, Mark Reekie, tried to keep the Copeman ' s House Junior Dorm in line. Al hasn ' t yet made any plans for next year but we hope that he continues planning his rugby for everyone to see. Harold Sewid Harry came to the school in grade eight and through his five years he worked his way into the top ranks of the school. While not found on the field with the 1st XV he was captaining the sailing squad. Harry also showed leadership and became Senior House Prefect in Lonsdale ' s. Harold was always involved in the running of a house, whether controlling the Juniors in his individual way, or spending an evening on the Strath hockey fields! Seriously though, we will not forget him, as he will not forget us, and we wish him the best next year at B.C. IT. David Stevenson Dave was the Senior House Prefect in Lake ' s. He had a very academic year with a few problems in Math, Physics, French, English, Law What was Dave spending his time on? Dave was an active player of squash and spent long nights trying to defeat Mr. Zinkan and Mr. Gillett. Dave hated getting up in the mornings, having a shower when there was a lineup and running on cold mornings. At any rate it was a good year and it will be one Dave never forgets. Dave has no definite plans for next year so maybe we ' ll see him around the school helping with maintenance. Whatever he does, best of luck. 21
