RON FRETWELL As this year ' s Head Boy, Ron contributed most unselfishly to a very successful year. His accomplishments at Shawnigan have been numerous; he was one of the school ' s top scholars, and was involved in many activities, namely Woodwork, Visual Arts, and Outdoors. He even found time to play in the band, sing in the choir, and join in the musicals. In sports, Ron was a member of the 1st XV for two years, winning his Colours and touring the UK. In basketball he held down a starting guard position for two seasons, establishing a reputation as a fine defensive player. He won his Colours in this sport as well and was a main cog in a team which finished second in the province. The summer term found Ron on the tennis courts; or at track meets, running the distance races as well as pole vaulting. Ron plans to take life easy this summer in the Okanagan but next year will see him at either UBC of UVic studying sciences, where we are sure he will do well. DAVE GIBSON Dave accomplished much in his four years at Shawnigan. He worked hard in the classroom and was especially good at Geography where his superior knowledge of local areas gave him a distinct adva ntage. Out of class, Dave will be remembered for his brilliant direction of Drama 100 ' s All in the Family , his work in the Art Club and for listening to the stereo in study periods. Athletically Dave played on the 3rd XV and went on the rugby tour to the UK. He also enjoyed a game of squash and through his sprinting and jumping was a valuable member of the school Track and Field team. Dave is undecided as to his future, but with his customary good cheer, he is sure to be successful. Good luck from all of us. DARYELGOUGH Bug came to Shawnigan in grade ten from Alberta and after moving into Lakes for his first year, he then transferred across the hall into Ripleys, who then won the Challenge Shield. Daryel was better known on the games field than in the classroom. He was a member of the UK Rugby tour party and by the end of the season had won himself a place in the 1st XV, due to his excellent jumping ability in the line-outs. This leaping ability carried over to basketball, where he was an important member of the senior team which finished second on the province, and to Track and Field, where he was most useful in the jumping events. In the house, Daryel became a house prefect, and shone in all the inter-house competitions. He will be remembered for his activities on the Chem. II tour, his good natured debates with Randy, and various nocturnal excursions with Ben. Next year, Daryel plans to go to UVic and room with Charlie MacLachlan, which should prove to be a very academic experience. JOHN HAMMOND John was one of the five Centennial Scholars and was one of the first to graduate. He was a School Prefect and Head of Lonsdales House. His musical talents were much appreciated as he found time to star in both musicals, sing in the choir and play in the band. His constant awareness of his weight earned him the nickname Fat Boy which he took in good humour. John played on the 3rd XV for two years, and in grade twelve rowed in the Varsity boat and toured Europe with the Rowing Club. Next year he plans to attend UVic and at present is undecided as to what he will do. Whatever it is we know he will do it well and we wish him the best of luck. 21

, ? BROCK CRANE Involved is the best way to sum up Brock ' s five years at Shawnigan. He was a house prefect in Groves, an Assistant Editor of this yearbook, a member of the dance committee and Film Society, and a five year man in the choir. At home on or behind stage, Brock was in charge of lighting for Oliver in 1972, playing the part of the Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance but will be remembered most for his professional portrayal of Captain Corcoran in H.M.S. Pinafore . No slouch on the games field, Brock stroked the 1st VIII in his second year on the crew, and went on the European tour of ' 73. He was a hard running three-quarter on the 2nd XV and filled in at track whenever needed; running the hurdles and throwing the javelin. He was also an avid skier, although to find him wiped out at the bottom of the hill was not unusual. Brock ' s cheerful disposition and quick wit were often the needed tonic in the heated discussion in Geo. 12. Next year he plans to go to B.C.I.T. and study Hotel Management. Hopefully some day he will get his cherished Austin-Healy, so he can stop going orgasmic everytime he sees one. DOUG CRAWFORD When Doug came to Shawnigan in grade eight he was as English as a cup of tea, as was often pointed out by his friend, the Seattle Import . Doug stalked about the school at the towering height of 4 ' 11 until one night he woke up and found his feet sticking out the end of his bed — the six foot groover was born. Doug ' s talents in the musicals were most useful as he took part in Oliver , The Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore . When not on stage he could be found working hard as an Assistant Editor of this yearbook. Groove was terribly athletic. In grade nine he was the cox of the 2nd VIM and he participated in the European tour of ' 73. In his senior year he won his school Colours as hooker of the 1st XV and was a member of the touring party which went to the UK. He also dabbled in squash and found himself a place on the 1st Hockey XI. Doug ' s plans for next year include going to UBC and finding himself a woman. BRIAN ELLIS Brian came to Shawnigan in grade eleven from the Okanagan. In his first year he roomed with Tom Boyle and Maury Thiessen and the three of them made sure that there was never a dull moment about the house. Brian also became known for his sudden spasmodic movements and faces. In his final year, Brian became the senior house prefect in Copemans and was a member of the choir. He also participated in H.M.S. Pinafore . On the games field Brian played fullback for the 3rd XV and was a familiar face, even if that face was usually alone, (but we will overlook that, won ' t we Brian?). He even could be seen at that other place in the wee hours of the morning. Brian hopefully will remember us at Shawnigan and we wish him all the best at UBC. MARTIN FAIRBANK Martin spent a year at St. Georges before coming to Shawnigan in grade nine on a scholarship, which he justified immediately by firmly inscribing his name on the Honours Roll. An accomplished musician, Martin has achieved his grade ten in piano as well as proficiency with the clarinet. This past year he became co-ordinator of the school Newsletter and he worked tirelessly to insure its publications. Always quick with a pun or dry comment, Martin established himself as the wit of English 12. Although undecided as to his eventual goals, Martin plans to continue his education at Hurstpierpoint College in England next year. Frightfully good! 20

IAN HYDE-LAY From the first day of grade eight to the closing ceremonies of 75, lan ' s cheerful disposition was always noticeable about the school grounds. Rocker was appointed Assistant Head Boy at the start of the year, and when not busy in this capacity, could be found kicking for the 1st XV, playing basketball, or running the two mile at track meets. His musical talents won him great acclaim; whether it was a Monday music lesson with Dr. Kilian, as the star of Oliver , or as the Sergeant of Police in the Pirates of Penzance . He was also the editor of this yearbook. lan ' s room couldn ' t be missed, with rats coming for visits, and with his closet full of G W Fashions (which were purchased by Ma Benny). His exceedingly quick wit was reminiscent of his father ' s, although often the puns were terrible. Ian plans to attend UVic next year and major in History. His great personality which won him many friends is sure to stand him in good stead for the future. We wish him all the best. DOUG KNIGHT Three years have passed since the winds from the foothills of the Rockies deposited Doug at Shawnigan. He has accomplished a great deal in his stay at the school. A diligent student, he could often be found at his desk cranking out his math. Daaag was thought of by the juniors in Lonsdales as being a very effective prefect. His contributions were always welcomed in the Film Society, and the musicals. On the games field Doug played second row on the 2nd XV and was a UK tourist. On the water he rowed in the Varsity boat for two years and once again went on tour. He is undecided as to his future, but we know that his good nature and sense of humour will stand him in good stead in whatever he may choose to do. All the best from the class of ' 75. ROBERT KOMM Bob came to Shawnigan in grade eleven, and soon acquired the nickname Rosy because of his bright red cheeks. For two years he played for the 3rd XV, and was actually beginning to get the hang of the game. Rowing was Boobies major sport, and we know of at least one young lady who fell for this famous line. Still Bob, isn ' t Seattle kind of far to go? Bob played the trumpet in the jazz orchestra and learned how to mime very well. After he returns from the Rowing tour this summer, he plans to attend U.B.C. if something else doesn ' t come up first. We will all remember Bob for the good times we had in Victoria together, hopefully we can get together again next year; same time, same place. Best of luck from all of us. BRUCE MAXHAM Max was at Shawnigan for four years and was very much a part of school life, especially in his final year. He was a member of the Dance Committee and he did a superb job in getting us the fine bands that he did. He gave up much of his other free time rehearsing with the rock group Lakewater , in which he was the lead vocalist. He took an active role in the musicals and was an avid hockey fan as well as an accomplished sailor and squash player. On the rugby scene Bruce was a stalwart on the 2nd XV and one of the successes of the UK tour. Max is off to UVic next year to take History and have a good time. We wish him all the best. 22
