The programme for the year began with the christening of the sixteen man barge, transported from Vancouver for the use of the School crews. Fall and winter training began with great enthusiasm. We had a nucleus of oarsmen from the European Tour of 197 7. The eights commenced training and proved that that experience was going to be invaluable. Training in the Easter term was cold for the senior crews who covered miles in preparation for the coming rowing season. Never- theless, these sessions proved useful. The Summer term started with the Grade 12 experienced oarsmen taking the small boats and the Varsity 8 being made up of the Grade ll ' s and 10 ' s. The two most experienced oarsmen were Frost Prioleau and Chris Milner, both of whom were able to use the new double, which was christened the A.J. Tee , by Mr. Thiessen. Results of the first singles Regattas gave the coach some indication of prospects for the year. Our first Regatta was held at Brentwood. The results showed that the Club had some outstanding crews at the Senior level and some surprising performances were achieved by some of the small boats. This Regatta also showed that our junior crews were lacking in power and endurance. The second Regatta of the season was a highlight for the School. Our crews all did well and produced results which were the best for the last ten years. The Burnaby Regatta was something of a dis- appointment. Poor organisation and bad weather making for a very depressing event. All this, however, was overshadowed by the Shawnigan Regatta which lived up to its reputation as the premier Regatta of the West Coast. Entries achieved a record high and the entire day was a great success. The School Crews did well sharing the Schools ' Trophy with Brentwood College. Looking back on the Season, outstanding per- formances were achieved by the Varsity, Junior Varsity, Colts and Bantam crews. Prospects are indeed most favourable for next year when most of the Senior oarsmen return for the 1979 season and European Tour. r.J.S. Gr 24
