NEW STAFF JOHN L. DA VIES Although to some a rugby playing librarian might seem to be a contradiction in terms, Mr. John Davies has arrived at Shawnigan to revamp the library, as well as to coach the 2nd and 3rd XV ' s. Born in Trebanos, Wales, Mr. Davies received a Certification of Education at Trinity College, Carmarthen. Having crossed the Atlantic eight years ago on a tour with Blackheath, a first division rugby team, he decided to settle here. He received a B.A. at Western Washington State College in Bellingham, and, before coming to Shawnigan, was teaching at Lake Cowichan. Mr. Davies and his assistants have plans to update the library, especially the fiction and resource areas and to incorporate V.T.R. into the library, turning it into a full media centre. Besides this almost her- culean labour, he is teaching two English classes, as well as planning to be involved in the basketball programme. When not coaching or reading, he enjoys fishing and even an occasional game of squash, (watch out, Mr. Cox). We wish Mr. Davies a long and enjoyable stay at Shawnigan and are sure that he will be an asset to the School and the library in particular. Miles Pittman (Grade 11) PHILLIP J. JAR VIS One of the two new Welsh members of staff, Phillip Jarvis was born in Aberdare, Wales. Educated first at Cardiff, where he received both a Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degree in Education. Mr. Jarvis came to Canada in 1974. He taught at St. John ' s Ravenscourt in Winnipeg from 1974-1980 and then, presumably to escape the harsh Manitoba winters, he taught for two years at St. Andrews in Nassau, the Bahamas. Mr. Jarvis has taken over the empty post of Housemaster of Copeman ' s House, as well as Head of the English Department. He teaches English Literature 12, English 12-1, 11-2 and9-2B, as well as coaching soccer, tennis and the Junior Colts Rugby team. When he has spare time he enjoys reading, listening to music and playing with two daughters three and a half and one years old. We hope that Mr. Jarvis will have a happy home here at rainy Shawnigan, and who knows, if he doesn ' t like the weather here, there is an opening at St. Jude ' s Tuktoyaktuk.
