MICHAEL PINDER Mike was another of the four year men at Shawnigan, and a School Prefect and a head of Copemans House. He played on the 1st XV in his grade eleven year but an unfortunate ankle injury prevented him from winning his previous form this season. Still, he played many useful games for the 2nd XV and was a UK tourist. Also, he was school captain of Soccer and Grass Hockey, the latter for which he received his School Colours. Mike ' s primary interest were woodwork and stagecraft, which he combined to help produce the sets in the musicals. He was an accomplished scuba diver. Next year, Mike plans to take a year out to work. We wish him the best of good luck. PETER POON Peter was a very hard working boy from Hong Kong. He was keen in all his studies and usually could be found in the library or in his room working on some heavy calculus problem. As a result he maintained his name on the Honours Roll for the four years he was at the school, and thoroughly deserved his Academic School Colours. On the games field The Walking Computer always gave of his best and participated in most every sport in one way or another. You could never find Peter without a smile on his face, especially when he was listening to his speakerless stereo. We wish him the best of luck for the future and hope he enjoys UBC. PAULPRIOLEAU Paul entered the realms of Shawnigan in grade nine and thereafter Lonsdales was never at a loss when he took the field. His athletic abilities never ceased to amaze as he always put his best foot forward and more often than not produced a stupendous performance. He toured the UK with the 1st XV, and captained the Rowing Club through their tour of Europe. Chester was also very diligent in his studies and often could be found on the Diligence list. A great person for involvement, he participated in a wide range of activities, ranging from Film Society to Outdoors, and he always reached a high standard in whatever he undertook. We hope he has every success at the University of California, where he plans to continue his rowing career. BRIAN SALTER Since his early days in grade nine, Brian has made quite a name for himself at Shawnigan. Distinguishing himself as a scholar, athlete, and class clown, he has risen to the top ranks within the school. Rat was a School Prefect in Lonsdales, playing on the 1st XV for two seasons, and won house colours in rugby, cross-country, track, and academics. He also dabbled in squash and played in the 1st XI for two years. If ever Brian was not making someone laugh, he was probably in his room making radio contact with Mars or contemplating life with his Jews harp. We will never forget Brian, as he brought many hilariously funny times to the school, and we wish him the very best luck in the future. He will be amongst the freshman ranks next year at UBC. 25

RICHARD MILLYARD A four year veteran, Chard came to Shawnigan from south of the border, hailing from both Philadelphia and Los Angeles. He was a member of the 1st Game for three years and in his final season won himself a place on the 1st XV, where his fine tacl ling was always most welcome. He was also a fine squash player and a capable sailor. As head of the Stage Crew, he was in charge of building the set for H.IVI.S. Pinafore and his construction skills were very handy when it came time to complete the Grad decorations. When not found sleeping in his room, Rich could always be found with Boyle, guarding the woods which surround the school property, or over at Strath. Next year he plans to enter the field of Law at UVic. Keep your arm down and all the best from all of us. RANDY NOEL Randy came to the school in grade ten. He soon established himself as a fine athlete, touring the UK with the 2nd XV, playing badminton, and performing in many vital areas on the Tracic team. Bear really came into his own in his last year. The group Lakewater was almost entirely put together by him and it now holds a sound not to be confused with that of any amateurs. When not found arguing with his roommates, he could be found anywhere from the farmer ' s field to Strath. Randy is a great example of what the school can do for someone, a more considerate or generous guy you couldn ' t find anywhere. All those who will miss him next year will find him at UVic, continuing his music career, studying to get his B.A. in classical guitar. MARK PERRY It has been only four short years since Shawnigan imported Mark from Seattle. Perv was somewhat disapproving of certain ' B ' people, but overcame his minor prejudice after rooming with the Man from B.L.A.C.K. for two years. Mark excelled in swimming, winning his house colours in grade ten for his efforts in this sport. Also, an avid skier, Mark had superb style both on and off the slopes. When not taking part in extra-curricular activities, he could be found working on this yearbook, blowing his horn in the jazz orchestra, or playing squash. His plans for the future include doing anything that isn ' t Redneck . In all seriousness, you couldn ' t find a better guy, even if he was from Washington. We wish him every success in the years to come and oh yes Mark, they never did go to that Island. PETER PIDDINGTON Pete Pid or Pidders , as some of the juniors called him, was a most welcome addition to this year ' s grad class. He fitted right into school life, especially with regards to academics. He was always on the Honours Roll and he eventually won his Academic School Colours. Pete also worked hard on the 6th XV but had difficulty locating the ball without his glasses. His other interests included squash, sailing and foods. Pete seldom went to bed before twelve o ' clock, preferring to stay up with his books as company long after his roommates had gone to bed. He plans to attend U.B.C. and specialize in Biochemistry, and in this we are confident of his success. All the best, Peter. 24

JAMIE SCOTT Although Jamie came to Lonsdales House in his final year, he managed to fit right into the swing of things and by the Winter term had found an inseparable buddy on the lower floor of Groves. A frequenter of Strath, Jamie was thought of as quite a romeo; in actual fact he was hunting for his lost love, the giant halibut . A full fledged member of the fearless 5th XV, Jamie played fullback. His other athletic feats included tennis, squash, badminton, skiing and fishing. Half-breed might be found doing almost anything next year, but he hopes to be a number one halibut hunter. If that does not work out he might pay an extended visit to UVic. JOHN SINCLAIR John quickly learned the ins but especially the outs of Shawnigan life. When not over at Strath, he could be found playing on the 2nd XV, rowing on the 1st VI 1 1 or sleeping like a log. He participated in the two tours to Europe. His portrayal of Dick Deadeye in H.M.S. Pinafore was outstanding and always good for a laugh. John ' s hobbies included listening to music, playing the drums in the rock group Lakewater , and imitating famous and infamous voices. Next year he plans to follow his father ' s lead and head off into the wild blue yonder, so we wish him luck. CHARLES STUART Chuck has been a member of the school since grade ten, when he gave up a life of sandy beaches and warm weather to come to Shawnigan. His hard work and dutiful attitude firmly embedded his name on the Honours Roll, and helped him become a School Prefect. When not struggling over a Biology lab or worrying that his hair was falling out, he could be found talking to a shapely young lady over the phone or drooling into a Ski magazine. Toad had an enormous white smile, and his jovial nature won him many friends. He played rugby and ran cross-country and was an enthusiastic member of the 1st VIII. His other interests included drawing, writing and playing his bongo drums in the wee hours of the morning. He will be forever remembered for his terrific imitation of the illustrious Mr. Sturt . Chuck will return to native California this summer, before moving on to Switzerland to further his education and improve his skiing. All the best from the class of ' 75. MAURY THIESSEN Maury volunteered himself for Shawnigan in grade eleven. He followed his brother into Copemans House and found his roommates, Boyle and Ellis, to be quite amiable, whenever they were not telling him to turn his stereo down. Maury was school captain of badminton, a member of the 2nd XV which toured the UK, and was on the track team, running the sprints and hurdles. He spends must of his spare time listening to his stereo or over at the Galley. He made many long lasting friends and his cheery face will be missed by all. Maury ' s fondest memories include English II classes with Meg, and night seminars with Lui. Next year he plans to attend UVic; for who knows what? 26
