THE CHAPEL CONFIRMATION CLASS - SATURDAY, 15 MARCH, 1980 Back Row: {L. to R.) David Beckingham, Simon Cashmore, Roderick Heard, Garth Meyer, Thomas Seeger. Middle Row: (L. to R.) James Baker, Andrew Wooldridge, Christopher Zatylny, James Barekman, Walter Van Halst, Peter Powell, The Right Rev. W.G Burch, The Rev. Canon W.H.H. McClelland. Front Row: (L to R.) Brock Tout, Anthony Duke, Graham Witt, David Dry, Kenneth Nicolls, Daniel Schwindt, Blair Calkins. The year 1979-80 was one filled with events for the Chapel. Mrs. Sartini left us at the end of last year and Mr. LeRoux arrived from Prince Edward Island to take up the appointment of organist and choirmaster. Contrary to all predictions the choir, made voluntary this year grew to its healthiest size in many years. The calibre of music improved with the choir adding the full Marbecke Eucha- rist and many new hymns and psalms to its repertoire. Also among the changes this year was the addition of Morning Prayers on Wednesdays before classes. On Founder ' s Day the School welcomed a Copeman ' s House Old Boy, Rear-Admiral M.G. Stirling. As guest speaker he gave a most vivid and enlightening talk about the School ' s early days under the Founder. Bishop Birch, formerly Bishop of Edmonton, conducted the Confirmation Service and his visit was so well received that he was invited back later in the year to preach. The reason Bishop Birch was invited in the first place was because the diocese was without a bishop being then in the middle of an episcopal election. On May 1st. the Venerable H.J. Jones was consecrated Bishop of British Columbia at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. A party of Sacristans and Servers attended the Consecration Service with the Rev. Canon W.H.H. and Mrs. McClelland. Yet another major event in both the Chapel and the school ' s calendar was the appearance by four students on CHEK Television ' s Student Forum in the Spring Term. Philip Offereins, James Barekman, Graeme Thompson and I discussed the general topic of the New Morality versus Christian Morality ' ' with Bishop Birch. We are proud that this discussion was chosen as one of the programme ' s most successful and will be shown again in September of 1980. The Chapel has a Guild of Sacristans and Servers who have worked very well this year as in past years. Their service is one which is important to the life of our Chapel and, we believe, to the spiritual life of the school. As retiring Senior Sacristan I should like to express my appre- ciation to these boys for their help and Mrs. McClelland, Mrs. LeRoux and all the other staff wives who have done so much throughout the year. Most of all I wish to thank Canon McClelland for the role he has played as a confidant, advisor and spiritual leader. Richard Carruthers (Grade 1 1 )

The Stag welcomes to our staff: MR. MARK LE ROUX Mr. Mark Le Roux came to us this year from Charlottetown where he was Director of Music at Confederation Centre. Mr. Le Roux is a Channel Islander from St. Helier in the Bailiwick of Jersey where his family traces its origin over nine hundred years to the Normans. He began his professional musical training at Trinity College London, moving later to the Royal School of Church Music. In 1963 he came to Canada with very little knowledge of what was in store for him. In that year, he became Director of Music at Saint John High School in Saint John, New Brunswick. It was there that Mr. Le Roux had his first school madrigal choir which, in 1966, came to be recognised as the best in Canada. His boys ' choir at Confederation Centre was also widely known and in 1977 he took it to Bermuda to give a concert attended by the Governor of Bermuda. Shawnigan is his first position in Western Canada. Here Mr. Le Roux teaches French, Music Appreciation and Piano and is a house tutor in Copeman ' s House. He % is also Organist and Choirmaster as well as director of the joint Shawnigan-Queen ra | Margaret ' s Four Part Madrigal Choir and the Shawnigan Choral Ensemble. In addition he is Co-ordinator of Music for this year ' s operetta. Mr. Le Roux views his field of Music and French not only as relevant subjects in themselves, but more importantly as a vital part of the Shawnigan programme. Shawnigan greets Mr. Le Roux heartily and hopes to have his exceptional services and inspiration for many years to come. if l ' M fife X f 3 - DR. HUGH PORTEOUS Born in 1951, Dr. Hugh Porteous spent his youth in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. During his high-school years at Mount Royal Collegiate Institute he was a first violinist in the Saskatchewan Symphony Orchestra, best actor in the Drama Club and President of the Student Council. He won a provincial Government Scholarship to the University of Saskatchewan where he organized upwards of ten societies. Dr. Porteous is a Rhodes Scholar and in 1972 attended Balliol College, Oxford. There he became President of the Ralegh Club, sang in the College chapel choir but still found time to run cross-country as a member of the Athletics Club. During the summers he rowed in the College Eight. In 1978 Dr. Porteous received the degree of M.A. and Doctor of Philosophy in History. Before coming to Shawnigan, Hugh Porteous lectured at the University of Victoria in the area of his special interest: French and British Colonial History during the 17th., and 18th., Centuries. Here he will be teaching English while finding time to lead our Drama Club to new heights during the second and third terms. Dr. Porteous also plans to help Mr. Grey with rowing. 10
