Fred Pletcher (Grade 10) WILLIAM McCRACKEN Mr. Bill McCracken came to Shawnigan in the middle of August with the prospect of taking the helm of Groves ' House from Mr. Bean. Mr. McCracken was born in Saint John, New Brunswick and grew up in Ottawa. Still keeping to the East, he received his major degrees at the two well known Halifax universi- ties, King ' s College and Saint Mary ' s. Both his wife and he have held previous housemastering positions at King ' s Edgehill in Windsor, Nova Scotia. At Shawnigan, Mr. McCracken plans to teach Business Economics and Social Studies to the senior grades. Also, he will coach the debating team, and hopes to develop public speaking alongside that. Furthermore, he takes a great interest in Canadian politics, and hopes to start a Political Science course at the School. In addition, he takes great pleasure in seeing his name spelt correctly. One of the few Maritimers in the West, we hope that Mr. McCracken and his wife will be very happy at Shawnigan for many years to come. Miles Pittman (Grade 10)
