David Sze David came all the way from Hong Kong to Shawnigan in the fall of 72-73. Now, he is spending his final year as a house prefect in Grove ' s. He is keen in all his studies and you can find him easily in the library or laboratories. As a result, he is on the diligence list for most of the year. He finished Math II and 12 last year and is con- tinuing his Math programme doing Calculus - a course from UVic. Although he is not an extremely remarkable athlete he participates in most of the games and is always trying hard. You can never find Dave without a smile on his face especially at the Saturday night movies when all the girls from Strathcona are around. He is the only boy in the history of Shawnigan who went to Strathcona for dancing lessons. Dave is planning to continue his education at UVic next year. We wish him every suc- cess in the future. Robert Tait Rob has been a regular member of Copeman ' s house since Grade Eight and made Senior House Prefect in his final year. Rob played rugby on the 1st XV and with no surprise received his school colours near the end of the season. Rob ' s hobbies included such fields as geology, philosophy club, literary magazine and he was a veteran in the choir. He also found time to write to 33 girls in England. Rob plans to at- tend UVic next year in the field of the sciences. Regan Trethewey Although he defected to St. George ' s at Christmas, and we still hate him for it, we missed his perpetually cheery face and sporting manner. Spud, as he was traditionally known, was the type of person who would try a sport and be a pro in less than a week. He was an excellent rugby captain, excelled in squash, badminton, and tennis. Regan managed to keep up a good academic standing between dealing with Chuck MacLachlan and sleeping with his Humpty-Dumpty. He had a good disposition and was never found losing his temper. He was a Senior House Prefect in Lake ' s and an all-round great guy. We hope Regan prospered from his years at Shawnigan and we wish him all the luck at Lausanne next year. Mike Voegtlin Since arriving at the beginning of grade eleven All-Star Voegtlin has gained credit for aiding the school immensely in athletics. He received his school colours in basketball in grade eleven and won province-wide recognition in the B.C. Championships. His aggressiveness in rugby was useful to the whole team and he gained his school colours here too. On the lighter side of the subject, he was rarely seen without a smile or chuckle on his face, and always had a finger in any Grad class mischief. Occupied by his pin-up collection and Penthouse subscription he found little time for prep and could always be found after a meal ogling at the new talent in the kitchen and drooling in his coffee. He was also renowned for playing Moto-Cross driver and often walked back down from the fields. His success at the school is obvious and his juniors will not forget him for years. 22

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

Scott Walker Scotty has been with us for five years (except for a short vacation in grade 9). Scott is a prefect in Copemans house and somehow manages to control the top floor. He has been with the rowers for his five years at Shawnigan and has seen two tours to Europe as cox of the second and then first eight. He received his school colours for rowing in grade 9 and was a lso the captain of the fighting fourths . David West We know that Snave , in being a proud part of the 4th XV, school squash and badminton teams, along with all the other trademarks of Shawnigan, deserved the honour of having a triangle named after his person. No one will know how far Dave could have gone if it were not for his being part of the Groves House Twins . Ignoring his past involvement with disaster, we give Dave the advice that he should not mix Scotch and tea. Ralph Wilson Ralphy , as he was known to a few, had five very fruitful years. He was one of the most diligent people in the school and reaped the profits when made Assistant Head Boy early in the year. Ralph rowed very well thereby going to Europe in the 1st IV in grade eleven and being made the Captain of Rowing in his final year. Ralph earned his own high standard of excellence onto the field and received his Rugby colours - which surprised no one. In Memoriam 23
