Lake ' s House returned full of spirit and began the term by battling Lonsdale ' s down to the wire in Inter-House Swimming before eventually finishing third. A week later was the Inter-House Around-the-Lake Relay. Although we previously won the cup; this year was not to be the case and although we tried our hardest, fifth place was all we could manage. Next was Inter-House Rugby. In the Senior division the house finished in a second-place tie with Lonsdale ' s and Ripley ' s behind the surprise winners - Groves ' . In the Junior competition Lake ' s emerged victorious although stiff competition was provided by Groves and Ripleys ' On the final Tuesday of the Christmas term the ever increasingly popular Inter-House Cross-Country was run. The Senior end of the house was not overly endowed with cross-country runners and a fifth place finish was all we could achieve. In the Junior race Lake ' s had three boys in the top ten and yet only finished fourth. So ended the athletic end of the term and while the record is not brilliant it could have indeed been worse, as could have been our Academic record. Academically the house was led by the bottom floor combination of Brent Cooper and Peter Olesen. Upstairs the room 22 duo of Ian Leitch and Frank Miller produced many points as did Ian Hyde-Lay and Charlie MacLachlan in room 23. Of the others Charlie Stuart deserves mention also. Despite the efforts of these and others we never managed to capture the Academic Shield. As this report is being written in the Lent term we may win it yet. Most In- ter-House competitions have not been played yet, but no matter - for Lakes is sure to do well in these - as they always do. However, it was not the athletic and academic achievements that made Lake ' s the house it was in the 73-74 year but the many unique personalities in the house. 30

Clarke and Crane tied for the Mr. Fashion Award leaving Mark Perry groping in the dust for his contacts. Steve and Randy spent most of the year at each other ' s throats providing breathtaking excitement at every slash. No one ever saw Crawford do any work but somehow he maintained a good average, and despite Sinclair ' s varied at- tempts to drown him out, Doug still managed to be heard above the ruckus. We owe our thanks to Mr. McDiarmid and Mr. McKinnon for their time and help to all of us during the year. Of course our special thanks go to Mr. Hudspith who puts up with the house very well and through his subtle prodding, keeps our hair short and keeps us walking the white line. Five Groves ' boys And now you know how the Cognitive Domain works So that ' s how they got the caramel in the Cadbury ' s Caramilk Bar 29

Friends. Starting on the top floor the house was fortunate to have Regan Trethewey. Regan known by those Grade lis on his black list as crusher , ruled the house as Senior House Prefect with an iron fist. until his untimely departure to St. George ' s at Christmas. This did not stop him from returning to the school at various intervals to purge those he had missed before. We all missed him after he went to Saints though now the beds are much tidier and drier. Dave Stevenson took over the position of Senior House Prefect and kept order in his own way. Scott Ferguson was meant to be helping but preferred to spend his time perfecting his Bill Walton Hook - good luck Scott. Going down the hall one comes to the notorious dorm of Hilborn and Paulson. Only having been at the school an hour Jim had already acquired half of the house ' s furniture and along with Randy Paulson had moved up to the top floor. Next door was the in- ternational combination of Cornel Kwan and his sidekick Mike Beano Karram. They tried to keep order and if it had not been for Hilborn and Paulson they might have done it. The next dorm oc- cupied by Bruce Maxham and Victor Flick, was always the neatest and best decorated room. Max, as he was called by his friends prided himself on having the best stereo set-up in the school. He also spent a good deal of his time over at Strathcona, and was sometimes seen going out the gates with a sleeping bag on the back; returning it no doubt? Vic Flick, a new boy this year, found it very easy to get along with everyone. He spent a lot of time drawing some of the best and most intricate works seen in the school for a long time. Phil Young, a member of t he school ' s international Second Fifteen front row, was never found without a smile on his face. Chuck Stuart the house ' s ski bum and nature freak was always jovial, and got through a lot of work both academically and athletically. The Banks-MacLachlan suite was never found tidy ex- cept just after morning inspection. Even still they did not keep the room up to the Lydster-Hess tradition. If one found Nick without a smile and his leg not shaking, it would be safe to presume that he was dead. The other part of this dynamic duo, MacLachlan. was the resident ape himself. Ian Rock Hyde-Lay, the day boy of the dorm was always found talking sports. This year as Sergeant of Police in Pirates of Penzance he really learned how to put his |aw to work. Frank Miller, a new boy shone in academics this year and was awarded his House Colours for his fine performances in the tri- weeklies. His roommate. Ian Leitch was noted both as a fine scholar and athlete. Farther down the hall we find two adjoining rooms featuring the mischievous sextet of Kramer. Reinholdt, Phillips. Whitehead, Gibson and Loo. What really went on down there nobody knows for sure. and friendly games The lower floor was an interesting combination of everything from intellects, such as Brent Cooper; to athletes, such as Peter Olesen and Mike Hill; actors, such as Mark Jobson, the Cran duo; David Davies who was forever thinking about money; Mike Johnson and his CB and walkie-talkie apparatus; Ed White and his brownies; Larry Onischuk and his friends (Facca and Caraza); the newcomer Randy West (not to be confused with either of his brothers); the little Greek - Pete Tsiatas; the terrible duo of little David Rivers and the huge Klaig Morton; and finally the senior of the floor - Kei Szeto. Finally the house would like to express their most sincere gratitude to our Housemaster, Mr. Anderson, who led the house as only he can and to Mr. Gillett, who spent many hours in the house as our Assistant Housemaster. Also we would like to thank the prefects and especially Martin MacLachlan, who did an outstanding job in what was a very successful and enjoyable year. Jean-Claude Killy 31
