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.

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.
