Assistant Nurse (Resident) V V This year has once again proved to be a tremendous success in terms of achievement for the Stag Committee. The level of effort and enthusiasm displayed by everyone involved exceeds anything I have seen in the past four years. The yearbook, unlike most sports and activities at the school, receives only minute day to day attention. During the year it remains an unsung hero. However, when the completed book finally arrives, its importance as a history of the past year is recognized by all. It is an arduous and at times frustrating task to be involved with the Stag but the end result is worth it. There is a great sense of satisfaction when the finished product finally returns from the plant, as it is only then that one can measure the book ' s true value. Our job is to preserve the past so that one may look back upon the time spent at Shawnigan Lake School as being the best years of one ' s life. Indeed for many, this school will hold some of life ' s greatest moments and we intend to ensure that the memories will never be forgotten. In my first year as editor, I have been faced with a great many challenges, as has the entire yearbook staff. These challenges have become successes! I would like to thank all those involved with the yearbook for their momentous contributions towards its com- pletion and especially Mr. Rolston, for his patient guidance over the years. Bradley W. Greene Editor BRADLEY W. GREENE JASON R. BLANCHETTE KEN O ' KENNEDY DARREN GREGSON JAMES SPERBER CHRIS BORKENHAGEN MR. DON ROLSTON MRS. OLIVETTE BLANCHETTE MRS. DONNA CAMPBELL PHOTOGRAPHERS: JOE KAMON STEFFAN GRENFAL 7 yl:z- ' j.ft OfF CONTENTS w MR. CANDELARIA Mr. Candelaria comes to Shawnigan from Golden, B.C. where he taught French, Spanish and drama for three years. Mr. Candelaria ' s educational training took place at Simon Fraser University (1982) where he was a scholarship student of languages. He has travelled extensively in Europe and in the U.S.A. and lived in Spain for a year. Apart from his interest in languages and travel, he is a talented and keen racquet sports player and coach. His many other interests include music, piano-playing, scuba-diving, skiing, bridge and chess. Stewart is married to Sharon and they are both busy these days with young Sheridan, who was born in July of this year. We are pleased to welcome all of them to the Shawnigan community. MR. FERNANDEZ One of the many new staff members this year, Miguel Fernandez, was born in Montreal, Quebec. Educated at Middlebury College, Vermont, U.S.A., he received a Bachelor of Arts in 1985 and also spent si.x months in 1984 at Middlebury ' s programme at the International Institute in Madrid, Spain. Mr. Fernandez has travelled extensively throughout the world including such interesting places as Buenos Aires, Argentina; Philadelphia, U.S.A.; Mexico City, Mexico; Paris, France; and Princeton, U.S.A. He has also visited the Caribbean and Western Europe and in the future hopes to discover Australia, the Far East and Africa. He is an avid rugby player and was President and Coach of the Mid- dlebury Rugby Club. He also enjoys scuba diving, squash, photography and skiing. We all wish Mr. Fernandez a long and pleasant stay at Shawnigan. Jason Blanchette (Grade II) MR. HILL Jeff Hill grew up in London, Ontario and attended the University of Western Ontario, where he graduated in 1984 with a B.A. in Ad- ministrative and Commercial Studies. His main interest is undoubtedly rowing - a field in which he is highly skilled both as a competitor and a coach. While in high school, he won gold medals at the National Championships in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and represented Canada at the 1979 World Youth Championships in Moscow. Jeff continued to row at university and was a member of the Heavy Varsity Eights who were the Ontario University Champions in 1981. He went on to manage the London rowing Club and holds Levels I and II certificates in the sport. As well as being a great asset to our rowing program, Jeff is also making his presence felt in the classroom, teaching English and Consumer Fun- damentals. We extend a warm welcome to him and hope that he enjoys his year on Bachelors ' Row . 10 MRS. LEARY Mrs. Elizabeth Leary has joined ihe academic stall this year to teach senior French and to co-ordinate the Modern Langtiages Department. She is also helping some of our overseas students with their English. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Leeds with an honours degree in French and Spanish. She recently completed her Professional Education degree at the University of Victoria. Her extensive leaching experience includes one year in France, three years in England and four years at St. Margaret ' s School in Victoria, where she also served as a governor. Although new on staff, Liz is a familiar face at Shawnigan. She has lived on campus with her husband, David, and three children, Jonathan, Cathy and Sarah since 1980, when David was hired to teach chemistry and mathematics. Apart from her family and teaching responsibilities, Li enjoys travelling, cooking and amateur painting. C. Borkenhagen Grade 12 MR. SARSFIELD Mr. Sarsfield enters our fold at Shawnigan as Dean of Academics after a long standing career in the field of education, most recently at Albert College in Belleville, Ontario, where he resided as a Housemaster and Head of the English Department. While at Albert College Mr. Sarsfield took a keen interest in the areas of drama, economics, hockey and, most commendably, sailing! While at university he gained notable recognition in the area of English, where he received a B.A. from the University of Western Ontario, and an Honours B.A. from Carleton University, an M.A. from Laurentian University and an M.Ed from Q ueens. His wife, Sandra, also has an impressive track record to her name. With two B.A. ' s from Toronto and Carleton Universities, she has enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria to complete her second year. On the home front the Sarsfields have two lovely daughters, Jocelyn, 5 and Colleen, 7. We at Shawnigan wish to extend the Sarsfields a most warm welcome and hope that their time spent here will be a valuable experience lor everyone. Michael Wild (Grade 11) 11 12 m raBf ' v? ' ' ! S , -- 13 RETURNING STAFF 14 15 16 MEDICAL STAFF The medical department in any boarding school plays a very important, but seldom mentioned role. Here at Shawnigan we have two full time registered nurses who share the duties between them. Thus 24 hour coverage is given every day of the school year. The department is divided into two main areas: (1) The ' Surgery ' on the main floor which is the daily examining room - but fully equipped to handle all emergencies: (2) The ' Sick Bay ' (a 9 bed unit: 6 bed main ward - 2 bed isolation room - 1 bed nursing office) plus three bathrooms on the second floor. When boys are admitted to the Sick Bay hospital routine is followed. Daily documented records are kept in both areas. The School medical staff consists of: W. Douglas McCauley, B.A., M.D. - the School Physician who visits the School regularly; Eugene W. Shahariw, D.M.D. - the School Dentist; Mary Hyde-Lay, R.N. - Head Nurse, Resident; L. Beth Hall, R.N. - Assistant Nurse, Resident. During Ski Week held in February of each year - usually at Manning Park - a fully equipped Sick Bay is available. The School is fortunate in having the services when needed of Drs. G.A. and U.V. Asche, Hope, B.C. The Cowichan District Hospital (Duncan) is a fully accredited 232 bed capacity hospital (132 Acute Care 100 Extended Care), which covers nearly all specialty areas. Mrs. Hyde-Lay - Operating Room - is employed by the hospital part time during the summer vacation. The School is very grateful for the assistance and support given by Dr. McCauley, his associates and office staff - also to Dr. Shahariw and his staff and I hope all parents will realize how well served their sons are by our medical team. Dr. E.W.S It has been a busy year but the general health of the boys has been good throughout. M. Hyde-Lay OFFICE STAFF , Mrs. Rosemary Frowd HOUSEKEEPING LAUNDRY STAFFS s- ; . - CHAPEL it 31 s! This year has been a very productive one in the School ' s Chapel, due to many innovations made in the religious program. Throughout the course of the year eight different boys voluntarily took evening prayers. One other boy is to be especially com- mended for giving the Wednesday morning address before the entire School. Not only did this provide variety but it also kept Canon McClelland on his toes! The administration of Holy Communion has also slightly changed this year, with three members of staff becoming Lay Assistants. Mr. Grey, Mr. Rolston and Mr. McCracken all received permission from the Bishop to help with the administering of Holy Communion. Confirmation Classes this year were well attended with a total of 18 newly confirmed members of the Anglican Church, while three others who attended the Classes were confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church. Although many changes were made, many of the Chapel ' s traditions were preserved and strengthened. A total exceeding $3,000. was donated to Operation Eyesight from the boys ' pocket money. Several guest speakers visited the School, and their ideas and contributions are greatly appreciated. The continued success of the School Chapel can be directly attributed to those who give so unselfishly of their time and ef- forts. Canon McClelland ' s endless and tireless work preparing for services, teaching Confirmation Classes, and helping boys through their adolescent years is the backbone of the School Chapel. His wife and Mrs. McCracken year after year decorate the Chapel with beautiful and appealing floral arrangements which enhance the Chapel ' s atmosphere. The good example set by these people is a model for all to behold with true gratefulness and endless ad- miration.

Clare, D. Porter, J. Brandon Between October and March, 16 Con- firmation classes were held. These classes were 45 minutes to 1 hour in length during which we discussed a wide variety of topics, including evil, the Ten Commandments, prayer, the Apostles ' Creed, and Holy Communion. The purpose of these classes was to help us to understand the Faith of which we were to become full members. The classes were not only informative and interesting but challenging, and also filled us with spiritual comforting. They were very enjoyable and did not seem to take very long at all. Upon re-reading this I notice that I haven ' t mentioned what Confirmation is. Con- firmation is the confirming of the vows made at your Baptism by your Godparents because, at that time, being an infant, you were not capable of making these vows for yourself. Infant Baptism dates from those early days when Christians were persecuted by the Romans. When a family became Christian through Baptism, it was common for the children and the slaves to become Christian too - otherwise the family would be divided - some Christian and some not. But this meant that another step had to be introduced for those who were baptized as infants in order to give them the opportunity to make those same vows for themselves or to confirm those vows. This was called Confirmation. My Confirmation ceremony was held on March 15th along with 16 other boys and one girl. It was both interesting and moving, and allowed me to partake in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Joshua Brandon 23 24 1ST XV RUGBY We began the season with three straight losses to the University of Victoria Jutes, Nanaimo R.F.C. (under 19) and St. George ' s, juggling our team around in trying to come up with the best com- bination. The loss, 18-25, to St. George ' s was an excellent game and, despite a certain looseness in defence, gave us confidence for the matches to come. Our next three matches against Brentwood, Magee H.S. and St. Michael ' s resulted in three narrow wins and showed that our defensive play had improved greatly over earlier games. We then lost a hard fought match to Prince of Wales, beat St. George ' s 8-0 at home and lost a heartbreaker to Brentwood. However they had lost a heartbreaker to us earlier so a win each was probably a fair result in our two fixtures. Paul Le Blanc at prop, was an excellent captain both on and off the field and had the respect of both the players and the coaches. He is a fine forward and gave a good lesson in propping to each The most even and interesting Independent Schools ' rugby competition in many years was brought to a sudden end in mid-November by the weather. A heavy snowfall, which blanketed the Lower Mainland, including balmy Victoria, was accompanied by a continuing cold spell and meant that there was no opportunity to fit in the cancelled games later on in the term - a great pity as the competition was curtailed with all four schools still in the hunt. We had won three of our five matches with only our return fixture against St. Michael ' s University School to come. St. Michael ' s and Brentwood had each won two and lost two with two games yet to be played while St. George ' s, with one game remaining, were at 2 wins and 3 losses. We were thus in the driver ' s seat and definitely fancied our chances of winning our final match against St. Michael ' s Respite having only scraped home by a single point earlier in the season. one of his opponents. The rest of the pack was a workmanlike lot and was fit and mobile. It would be difficult to single out any one player from it as they all had their moments. The backs as a unit were probably as good a group as we have had in recent years. Roger Schmitt, last year ' s scrum-half, moved to fly-half and adjusted well to this most difficult of positions. The move was needed because we had to make room for Sebastian Wade at scrum-half and we felt the half-back combination would work best with this pairing. We were right and they formed a very effective partnership and were responsible for the smooth working of the backs as a group. Thus the team as a whole, although smallish and relatively young, really came on well and was better than its record suggests. If the majority of them can go on the upcoming tour to Australia and New Zealand in July, they should be able to give a very good account of themselves. 27 R mkm 1 E M £1 ; H | Hflrl H H k ' E - 1 B Hj f Vi t F m 9 ■ ;, 28 Standing: (L-R) Mr. J.

This year ' s team matured with every game and the disruption of the season by snow was a great disappointment to the members of the squad. The team was captained by Blair Carson and by David Fullerton when Blair was on first team duty. We attempted to run the ball at all times and scored several fine tries. The highlight of the season was our win in Vancouver against a very large Prince of Wales team. 30 31 3RD 4THXV The 3rd XV Standing: (L-R) Mr. M. Fernandez, T. Westergard, T. Tetrault, J.

Benjafield The 1985-86 season, with talented and dedicated players, proved to be a highly successful and enjoyable time. We had intensive coaching (the addition of Mr. Fernandez to the coaching staff) which produced positive results. The seniors in the group were there by choice and were ready to work hard at training sessions to improve their skills. Training and playing in the snow proved their devotion to the game. It is this dedication that is the vital factor responsible for the success at all levels. The 3rd XV can boast a host of talented young men, many of whom were playing their final games for the School. Providing experience and leadership were S. Ruzicka, S. Grey, P. Bryden and J. McNair. These seniors worked well with the rest of the team, captained by S. Tardif. Special mention must go to the exploits of the two workhorses of the team, propforwards T. Westergard and H. Kan. The 4th XV also had a highly successful season. Led by M. Kaye this team showed the spirit needed to have a winning and enjoyable season. With many newcomers on the squad, seniors D. Frankovich, M. Sharp and R. Reeve did a good job of leading the way. I am sure they will never forget the final victory of the season when they suc- cessfully overcame St. Georges and three inches of snow. C. Lien, G. Purcell, P. Crawford and the rest of the team played as though oblivious to the conditions. The third squad of the group, 5th XV, had the toughest task of all. Most were new to the game and keeping this in mind, they played extremely well. It can be considered a certainty that many of those young men will keep at rugby and blossom into fine rugby players for the School. Despite the few games played by this group, all players continued to train with enthusiasm. The 1985 86 season was one of positives. Many players from the 2nd game will be playing a much better brand of rugby next year because of the dedication and hard work demonstrated this year. Con- gratulations on an excellent year of rugby and good ruck next season. R. Greger and S. Tardif 32 5THXV ' r:r : ; ■ Standing: (L-R) Mr. M. Fernandez, D. Ruttan, P. Molina, J. Goult, S.

Turton 33 COLTS There can be little doubt that this year ' s edition of the Colt ' A ' rugby team had tremendous potential. All the elements were present for one of the finest teams the School has seen in several years. This potential, however, never reached fruition as the team struggled to put together a consistent per- formance for a whole game. Talented players like Cam Barker, Chris Cottrell, John Krotez, Miles Lawrence and Barnaby Wade, and tremendous effort by the whole squad enabled the team to reign victorious over the public schools they played. However, they did not hold up as well against the independent schools winning only one of the two games played against Brentwood, losing both games with St. George ' s and also losing the one game played against St. Michael ' s. The team would like to express their gratitude to Mr. Dickens for his energetic support and guidance throughout the season. Their captain, Chris Cottrell, would also like to congratulate them on their ex- cellent effort and hard work during the season. Chris Cottrell Standing: (L-R) Mr. B. Carr, C. Cooper, J.

Godwin 34 The Colts C being made up mainly of inexperienced players, got off to a bad start at the beginning of the season, losing 60-0 to Saints . Following this loss, Mr. Dickens and Mr. Carr worked the team vigorously with drills and wind sprints. Over the season the team showed improvement (losing to Brentwood only 7-0) and, with the coaching addition of Mr. Schieldrop, things looked promising for their re-match against Brentwood. They played well and were down only 4-0 at the half. The second half was well played, but they ended up losing 19-0. SMU was the next and last game of the season and the players were anxious to win their first game and end the season on a good note. Alas, nature intervened and it snowed heavily for a couple of days. The game was cancelled and their hope for redemption vanished! All-in-all, the Colts C improved tremendously during the year. They should be congratulated on their effort. Standing: (L-R) Mr. B. Carr, R. Stabbert, D. Wyder, M. Meheriuk, D. Strong, C. Henderson, T. Kiel, M. Graham, S. Bunnell, A. Waldman, Mr. G.

Hammond, L King 1 A 1 The Junior Colts started the season rather slowly and as always, came up against more experienced players from the other Independent Schools. This year we were able to field two teams which gave us some depth and provided competition for positions on the ' A ' team. Our first match saw both the ' A ' and ' B ' teams go down by a wide margin to St. George ' s. However, this was not indicative of the play, as we had our moments. The first game is always an interesting one from a coach ' s point of view, as it gives a fairly good indication of the character of the team. We were not disappointed! One worry we did share was tackling, a skill that plagued us throughout the year and cost us in the close games. Our next encounter was S.M.U. Both teams were evenly matched and although we came out on the losing end, we were not discouraged by the result. The ' A ' team attacked from all points of the field but failed to finish off by putting points on the board. Getting to the point of breakdown and maintaining possession of the ball were lessons to be learned. The ' B ' s were unlucky not to win as they certainly played the better rugby. A powerful winger on the S.M.U. side decided the fate late in the game but the boys could hold their heads up. Two of our worst halves came in the Brentwood games. Shawnigan, just off a three day break. 36 ■ , Standing: (L-R) D. Murchie, S. Grenfal, T. Tordiff, D. Kish, K. Brown, G. Reid, E. Gonzalez, C. Morgan, Mr. D. Leary Sitting: (L-R) B. Erling-Tyrell, S. Wiig, A. Morrow, D. Suarez, W. Khan, I. Pritchard, S. Watler Front Row: (L-R) T. Ruttan, T. Clare, S. Smith, D. Schweitz suddenly found themselves facing a massive deficit at the half. To both teams ' credit, play improved in the second half, particularly in the ' B ' game. However, tackling again was a major factor. The ' A ' team gave up four very soft tries, two of them directly from penalty situations. Yet another lesson was to be learned at our final Independent School ' s match. While we played quite well, we had tremendous difficulty defending against the kicking game. To St. George ' s credit, they kicked extremely well and I am quite sure most teams would have experienced the same problem. However, all was not lost! We finished the season on a very high note, winning our final game against George Bonner, a team we had previously lost to. Both forwards and backs put together excellent performances and deserved their win. Many promising players leave the Junior Colts and move up next season to the Colts, where I am con- fident they will continue to improve and get on the winning end of those games. Many thanks to Mr. Leary and all the players who contributed to a most worthwhile season! M.R. Hall 37 Standing: (L-R) Mr. S. Noble, I. Kramer, I. Gossage, P. Silcock, B. Barr, S. Ho, S. Pattison, P.

Akiyama The team photo of this year ' s Juniors says a great deal about this team. They were a small but hard-working and determined group. In fact, it was one of the smallest Junior teams (both in numbers and stature) in years. There was only a handful of team members with previous ex- perience while the majority were rookies . Most, however, took to the sport with enthusiasm, and skill development was significant among all. Tim Campbell captained the squad to a deceiving 1 and 5 record. Two of the losses were only minutes away from being victories. SMU provided us with our only lopsided defeat. To single out any individual as being a standout would not be fair, as our high points (and low points) were always team efforts.

Our season started early this year with a game against Brentwood in December. Although the team was beaten, we vowed to come back after Christmas and play some good basketball. Our first games back were at a tournament in Parksville at Bellenas. After a close 2 point game vs. Ballenas we were soundly beaten by Kwalikum and Port Hardy. The team did not fare well during the remainder of the season and we managed only a few wins. However, our never-die spirit kept us in most of the games until the end. The team was made up of 1 1 permanent players and 4 recruits from the undefeated Under 17 team: Cam Barker, Chris Cooper, Shawn Marshall and Jon Hokanson. The first string, consisting of Fred Martin and Garth Friesen at guard, Paul Bryden, Al Chase and Mark Wooldridge at forward, was backed up by a second string of Paul Yeh, Mike Kaye, Scott Flemming, Feisal Panjwani, Brad Jermyn and Marv Sharp. Although we lacked many of the vital skills. « i m I « i V i«Ni 1 y K I Standing: (L-R) Mr. S. Noble, P. Yeh, B. Jermyn, M. Kaye, P. Bryden, F. Panjwani, M Sharp Seo ec .- (L-R) G. Friesen, F.

May you enjoy it as much as we have and continue the basketball tradition of Shawnigan. The team thanks Mr. S. Noble, our coach, and David Hanson, our manager. Mark Wooldridge The U17 Basketball team had an extremely suc- cessful season. With an outstanding record of twelve wins and two losses, the team finished first in the Mid-Island Division. The team ' s initial skill level was high and it continued to develop throughout the year. Hustle, determination and coaching were skill elements in securing a victory in the Independent Schools ' Tournament and a second place in the Mid- Island Tournament. The first game against SMU was by far the team ' s top performance of the entire season. With the outside shots of Chris Cooper and the consistency of Cam Barker, the team was skillfully led by these two captains. They were both voted MVP of the Independent Schools ' Tour- nament. Reserve forwards Duncan Strong and Kaldean Brown improved in all areas of their game especially in blocking out on the boards. On the defensive side, Shawn Marshall and Jon Hokanson excelled in rebounding and shot-blocking. The guards, and particularly Blane Fowler and John Krotez, carried out their duties without flaw. BASKETBALL - U17 44 When the season came to an abrubt hah after the Independent Schools ' Tournament, some of the players joined the senior basketball team. Next year ' s team will be led by first year players Chris Goodall and Wes Tomlinson, who worked hard to improve their skills this season. The superb coaching of Mr. Williams gave the team a goal to aim for and they reached it. Congratulations on an excellent season!

Schmitt, D. Fullerton FLYING HIGH 46 British California - hardly! Once again snow practically ruined our season. This year, however, we experienced several further hindrances, such as Wilberforce restrictions and injuries galore. The season began promisingly with a 1-1 tie at Brentwood. We dominated the game for long periods with John Jung scoring and Seb Wade hitting the post twice. Sadly, a late goal pegged us back. Despite working hard on conditions, with Mr. Dickens as the coordinator, the team seemed to lose momentum. A 3-1 home defeat to Brentwood was very worrying. As a result, Mr. Jarvis, the coach changed the formation to 4-4-2 for our away game at St. Michael ' s. The result was a convincing 3-1 victory. We scored three delightful goals by Berry, Wade and Jung with Templeton and Gough strong and decisive in mid- field. Then off to Manning Park. The result: a serious knee ligament injury to one of our most skillful players, John Jung. Luckily, the young John Greenall in Grade 10 proved to be a plucky, hard- working replacement. Our lowest point of the season was one week prior to the Independent Schools ' tournament with a 6-2 home loss to Brentwood. The coach must take part of the blame here, for in coping with the injuries etc., he placed too many inexperienced, yet promising, players in the back four. Off to the tournament. A shoestring squad with Le Blanc wearing a knee brace, Game in action for the first time in a week and Howell-Jones dragged out of Lonsdale ' s House at a moment ' s notice. The first game was the repeat of a year earlier: a fine per- formance against a more skillful side, St. George ' s, with us being unlucky losers 3-2. We scored two fine goals by Wade and Saito; they, however, were aided by some costly defensive errors. Nevertheless this was one of our finest performances of the season. Brentwood was next. We came out charging to avenge our previous week ' s humiliating defeat. We tackled aggressively and provided some thrilling moves on the way to a comfortable 3-1 victory with goals on Saito, Greenall and Howell-Jones. Sweet revenge! A third place finish, but we were oh so close to getting 1st or 2nd. The season ended with School Colours being awarded to Glenn Templeton, a fine captain who led by example through a tough season; to Paul Le Blanc who completed three years of service to the 1st XI and to Sebastian Wade who worked as tirelessly as ever in the mid-field all season. Congratulations to these young men and to all for their fine efforts. Mr. Dickens and myself enjoyed our involvement with you. P.J. Jarvis U-16 SOCCER Senior soccer was quite short on numbers this year; there were only enough players to make a complete 1st XI and half of a 2nd XI. To solve this problem some of the able, more ex- perienced U-16 players were brought up the ranks to play for the 2nd XI, and the rest of the U-16, less ex- perienced players, played for the U-15 team. The 2nd XI had a good season only losing one game. The younger U-16 ' s fit in with the senior players quite well to make a good 2nd XI overall. Un- fortunately the Independent Schools Soccer Championships do not have a tournament at the 2nd XI level. Subsequently an U-16 team was formed from the 2nd XI. This team participated in the Independent Schools tournament at S.M.U. but although it was a strong, capable team, we managed to lose the first game to St. George ' s in a very close shoot out. This only qualified us for third or fourth place. We were able to place third in the tournament which was somewhat of a disap- pointment to the members of the team, but at least we ended the year victorious over Brentwood. 48 U15 16 SOCCER Standing: (L-R) Mr. M.

Akiyama On Ground: (L-R) P. Silcock, P. Stronge With an eager, young group of avid, but in some cases inexperienced players, we started the year off in the heavy rains of late January. As the team was comprised mostly of new boys, it seemed as though we would need to undergo some rigorous training from our coach, Mr. Fernandez, on his first assignment. As it turned out, we managed to pull through the year with an average share of training. Early on in the season, it was ob- vious that we had some skilled soccer players. With the multi-talented Stefan Massimino, leading the attack against our bewildered opponents and aggressive tacklers such as Kazuya Kamimura and Piers Stronge on defence, we managed to keep a good record during the season. Our team was a little unfortunate, because although we started the year with a few strong, experienced players to lead the newcomers, we ended up losing them to a higher team who needed their talents as well. This hurt our team, but we managed to carry on in a determined manner and win most of our games anyway. Throughout the term, the team was successful, and we all enjoyed the season. Many thanks to Mr. Fernandez for all his hard work. Barnaby Wade Standing: (L-R) P. Ely, B. Horner, S. Tardit, R, Snidanko, S. Grey, R. Greger, Mr. G.O. Dickens Seated: (L-R) M. Lawrence, S.

Most of the competition this year was at the senior level with a team of eight seeded members under the captainship of Sean Ruzicka. The team won two matches against Brentwood: one at Shawnigan (12-0) and one at Brentwood ' s new courts (11-1) and another over SMU (11-7), making them independent school champions. The coach, Mr. Cox, worked with the members of the team to help them with their skills, and everyone gained valuable experience from his instruction The season finished with a very large turnout for the in-school Greenwood Tournament, and the inter-house competition. Ripley ' s won the competition, while Copeman ' s placed a close second. The Greenwood match ended with twice-defending champion Sigfstead against second time finalist Ruzicka. The match was an evenly and well played series that left Sigfstead as the champion for the third year in a row. Also throughout the season, both Sigfstead and Ruzicka participated in several major tournaments including the B.C. Open Championship and The Pacific Northwest Championships tournament. Both students enjoyed good success: notably Sigfstead, narrowly losing in the seniors of the B.C. ' s. Good luck to next year ' s squash players. Standing: (L-R) Mr. S.E. Cox, T. Sigfstead, P.

Cunningham i 13 After a year ' s absence, badminton made a welcome return to Shawnigan - not as a sport, but as a Life Skill under the auspices of the activity program. About twenty boys formed a very enthusiastic group who met twice a week in the spring term. The emphasis of the program was individual improvement and enjoyment rather than competitive play. The level of skill improved enormously over the term. A team was entered in the Independent Schools ' Tournament (coming a respectable third ahead of host Brentwood) and we also played a most enjoyable game with Cowichan High School. Badminton will be back next year! D. Leary 53 ICE HOCKEY JUNIOR This year Shawnigan had a small team both in numbers and in size. In wins and losses we were at the bottom of the heap, but the games were never complete thrashings. We always put in a strong team effort and managed to keep the scores close. The team showed character in never giving up. This year can be considered a learning experience for the junior players and as they move up to the senior level, they will be a great asset to the Shawnigan hockey program. Congratulations for the fine effort. Special thanks must go to Mr. Fraser for his great coaching at both the junior and senior levels. Jim McCordic (Captain) JoeKamon Back Row: (L-R) G. Purcell, A.

Smith SENIOR We were somewhat apprehensive this year heading into the Independent Schools ' Tournament. As defending champions, we were expected to walk all over the opposition, but Brentwood had shocked us by out-hitting us and winning all of our pre-tournament confrontations. In our only other game, in Vancouver, we did manage to play as a team and aided by Griff Smith ' s two goals, we beat St. Georges 3-2. However, Shawnigan entered the tour- nament with an abundance of team spirit and a strong desire to retain the trophy. Our first game against St. Georges was a close, hard- hitting game. The final outcome was a 4-4 draw, even though we dominated the play. All four of our goals were put in by Jay Roberts (M. V.P.) with the help of our key play-making forwards. The tournment ' s second game ended with St. Georges defeating Brentwood 3-2. This left us with no alternative but to win by more than two goals, in order to capture the trophy. We did, in style, by thoroughly thrashing Brentwood 5-1, with three goals from Joe Kamon, one from Roger Schmitt and one from Rob Tordiff. We totally shut down the Brentwood offence by solid checking and a strong defence led by Jim Mc- Cordic. Congratulations for the strong comeback effort and let the Gotthardt Cup remain forever Black and Gold. 54 55 ROWING For the second year in a row Mother Nature has given Shawnigan rowers the cold shoulder. The lake was frozen completely for much of January and February, and the Head of the Lake Regatta was cancelled for lack of open water. Nonetheless, training in the rowing centre and in the weightroom went ahead at full intensity, and the many novices began to wonder whether rowing could possibly be worth it all. All crews keenly looked forward to the real thing. The main regatta season is during the Summer Term, of course, and our untested crews were ready to prove themselves when they had their first competition in late April. Shawnigan was represented at Maple Bay Regatta, Brentwood Regatta, Seattle ' s Opening Day, B.C. Championships, Pacific Nor- thwest Championships, Shawnigan Regatta, and Canadian School Championships. In overall points we won at Maple Bay and our own regatta, placed a close second at Brentwood, and came an impressive fifth at the CSSRA Championships. Well done! COLTS Coached by Mr. Carr, the Colts were undefeated in both their 4 + and 8 + races. They were even victorious in the J.V. 8+ competition at the B.C. Championships. Five members of the Colts A crew competed in St. Catharines, an indication of the talent in this group. The Colt Novice 4+ shows considerable promise, too: with only a few weeks on the water they won their event at the Shawnigan Regatta. (Go Lakers!) The Colt B rowers were variously coached by Mr. Candelaria and Mr. Dickens, and the depth of the programme owes much to the support and encouragement of these coaches. BANTAMS Good things come in small packages, and this is certainly evident in the Bantam ' s results. The 8 + and 4+ were undefeated throughout the season, and three members of Shawnigan ' s St. Catharines contingent were drawn from this group. The Ban- tams were ably coached by Mr. Schieldrop and Mr. Hall. SENIORS Coached by Mr. Hill and Mr. Yates, the Senior Programme consisted of the Varsity, the Lightweight 4 + , and the Sr. Novice 8 + . The Lightweight 4 + competed well in its class and also won several J.V. 4+ events. The Varsity had a very good season. Memorable races include victories in the 8+ and 4+ at the P.N.W. Championships held in Seattle, a first in the Varsity 4+ at the Shawnigan Regatta, and a spec- tacular eights race at the B.C. Championships in VARSITY EIGHT + T. Kaul, I. Kennedy, K. O ' Kennedy, M.

The Jr. Heavy 8+ was a clear 10 seconds ahead of second place Denis Moris, and the Jr. Heavy 4+ had the longest road to the finals with 31 entries in their division, and their bronze medal finish was very fine indeed. Shawnigan placed fifth of 81 schools in the boys ' overall point tally. A WARDS Two people were honoured by having shells named after them this year. The Joe Grey - Silver Jubilee recognizes Mr. Grey ' s 25 years as founder and chairman of the Shawnigan Regatta. The Schieldrop was named in honour of Mr. David Schieldrop whose contributions and ac- complishments include coaching this year ' s very successful Bantams, two years of rowing with the Harvard Lightweights, and an outstanding career in Shawnigan (Head of School, Captain of Rowing . . .). To both of these gentlemen, thank you. The Michael Howrigan Trophy, recognizing the Most Outstanding Oarsman, was presented to Ken O ' Kennedy by Mr. Norm Howrigan. (Mike Vopni was a close runner-up, making the decision difficult to say the least). Ken now numbers five gold medals from the Canadian Championships, and Ian Ken- nedy has four. The Bourne Trophy, for the most Effective Member of the Crew, went to Florian Tovstigo. School Colours in Rowing were presented to Jonty McNair and Rob Meekison, who both earned their passage by strong performances in the Varsity boat. The efforts of the Captain of Rowing, Ian Ken- nedy, were recognized at the Awards Dinner; 1986 has been a very fine year of rowing for Shawnigan, and the credit is due in large part to our talented and enthusiastic young captain. PARTEZ! ... a toutes Vitesse! Shawnigan bids farewell to two very fine coaches, as Brian Carr and David Schieldrop return to university. Both have coached their crews to undefeated records, and have worked innumerable hours in doing so. Recognition of their contribution was made at the Awards Night, and Mr. Carr was presented with a sterling silver SLSRC tie pin and adopted as a lifetime member of our club, honours which Mr. Schieldrop already holds. P.D. Yates o TRACK AND FIELD The Senior Track and Field squad sloshed through the wettest April and May in recent memory. This naturally affected the level of performances but, as we were to discover later on in our track meets, we were not as weak as we suspected, as the general standard was down in all the schools. The field events were especially hard hit and training for the jumping and throwing events was severely curtailed. However a reasonable standard was achieved in the Track events and we were well represented by Joe Kamon in the sprints and 4 x 100m, and by Fiesal Panjwani, the Captain, Damian Gough, Sean Grey and Robert Tordiff in the 400m and both relays. In the field events, Paul Bryden hurdled well and was our most successful high jumper, whilst Steven van Halst was our mainstay in the throwing events, doing well in the discus. A good team effort saw us win the I.S.A. Meet for the second year in a row and the 18th in 30 years. Paul Bryden, 1 10m hurdles, and Cameron Barker, javelin, qualified for the B.C. ' s but neither of them was able to advance to the finals. D.W. Hyde-Lay 62 JUNIOR TRACK A small group of very hard working sprinters and distance runners were at the heart of this year ' s junior squad. Though the group as a whole was not strong on talent, some fine performances were turned in at the track meets. J.C. Lewis, Kaldean Brown and Terry Ruttan were stalwart performers in the middle distance events. Kaldean was also busy at the hurdles along with Frank Chang with i 63 64 yviji ili ' l ilHkLsy m- mi Standing: (L-R) Mr. S. Noble, D. Howell-Jones, D. Payne, H. Kan, S. van Halst, S. Flemming, D.

In the field events Jonathan Hokanson (discus - shot), Troy Young (discus) and Rob Stabbert (triple jump) trained under adverse conditions for most of the season. All three qualified for the Islands with Jonathan and Rob showing particularly well in their events. S. Noble 65 This year the 1st XI reached unexpected heights of success. After a slow start, due to weather conditions, we went on to win the Independent School Championships. The veterans from last year, R. Schmitt, G. Templeton, D. Howell-Jones, and S. Wade held the team together until the new recruits gained more skill and experience. In the latter half of the season we played in the Independent Schools Tournament. In our first game against Brentwood our new forwards, D. Fullerton and T. Sigfstead, played brilliantly putting together some great plays and winning 1-0. Our second game, against St. George ' s was probably the best we played all season and we won with a score of 2-0. The solid defence of T. Tetrault enabled us to keep the shutout. To conclude the season several of the players went to Vancouver and represented the Island hockey team. This season ' s field hockey was a great success with much of the credit owing to our coach, Aurther Van- death. S. Wade - .. 1 i HH IH - ' V - UNDER 16 -m sM f - lHi n klkJ ' -0 Standing: (L-R)Mr.S.

The Senior team did not fare as well; however, three of the top six players of S.L.S. who competed against the top six players from S.M.U. were seniors. S.L.S. won the competition eight matches to zero. Our boys were Byron Horner, John Jung, Zach Zenith, Mark Wooldridge, Miles Lawrence and Graham Benjafield. Byron Horner also won both the Coupe de Toute Saison trophy and the Grogan Cup this year and John Jung and Mark Wooldridge were awarded School Colours in tennis for their contributions. Copeman ' s House dominated Inter-House tennis with clear victories in both senior and junior events.

This has unquestion- ably been one of the most successful sailing seasons the School had enjoyed in over a decade. Starting early in the fall it quickly became evident that we had the makings of a very successful team. Anchored by Derek Thomas as Captain and com- plemented by Chris Graham, Axel Rohr and Malcolm Hammond the foursome rapidly demonstrated that they would be formidable opponents in any regatta. The early prognosis proved to be right. Every regatta we entered this year we won handily and in two cases scored very impressive victories. Perhaps the most satisfying win of all, was a very lopsided victory for the Brentwood (Roger ' s) Cup early in May. In this competition Brentwood conceded after only four out of a scheduled seven races. Equally satisfying, though perhaps not as emotional, was our win in the In- dependent Schools Regatta hosted by Brentwood this year. Again the above foursome, ably assisted by Ian McAllister and Stephane Tardif quickly dominated the series, and the result was the Independent Schools Trophy won with an impressive lead over the other competing schools. It has been many years, and certainly it has not happened in my time at the School, that we have held both the Roger ' s Cup and the Independent Schools Championship at the same time. It will be difficult, though perhaps not impossible, to put such a formidable crew on the water again soon. With the acquisition of another Laser II late in May of this year, we now have the finest fleet of Lasers of any school. With such a base of operation there is no reason why Shawnigan should not become an even more recognized sailing power around the Island and the Lower Mainland. R.L. Grass Standing: (L-R) Mr. R.

Shooting both on the target range and on the field course provided great fun, interesting challenges and useful practice. The latter was particularly difficult due to the varying distances between the targets and the up and downhill grade. This year ' s archery activity was highly successful. G.L. Anderson CYCLING Despite the inclement weather the cycling programme continued to grow and develop. This year the programme was changed from a recreational racing programme to strictly a racing programme. A total of 1 1 boys took part this year and all their training showed-up in the 9th Annual Tour du Lac. The race, won once again by Luca Segato was challenged by one of our School ' s unknowns Sebastian Wade. The Shawnigan School team placed second in the Tour behind Segato ' s Belmont High School. The future looks bright with the team joining a newly formed cycling club in Duncan, which will allow for more race experience. The team would like to thank the coaching of Mr. Fernandez for a gruelling and prosperous year. Remember guys - no pain no gain. Andrew Weaver Captain of Cycling Standing: (L-RJ B. Russell, G.

' The Golf Group consisted of 17 boys representing a great range in ability. The emphasis was more on recreational than competitive golf. A few of the boys had the opportunity of at- tending a clinic given by three of the local professionals and a team of four played in a local school tournament in which we placed second. The Inter-House Tournament was won by Lake ' s and the match play championship was won for the third time by Darren Gregson who defeated Clive Hen- shaw 2 and 1 in the 18 hole final. The season finished with a fun handicap tournament. The low net (pairs) was won by Simon Smith and Hiroshi Nakamura. The low net (individual) by Darren Gregson. The closest to the pin by Peter O.xley who with his 2 strokes on that hole had a net 0! And the longest drive by Cori Cimolino. Trophies for the winning pair were very kindly donated by Mr. and Mrs. Gregson. W.H.H. McClelland ' ■-t r 74 SKI WEEK The School once again relocated for a week of skiing and festivities at Manning Park. The weather and ski conditions were excellent and the hill was thoroughly enjoyed by young, and young at heart! Many highlights come to mind - the first ever mini ' Carnival (Quebec-style, with a live Bonhomme!), Chris Cooper (junior) and Paul Robinson ' s (senior) victories, the mysterious raiders in white suits. Sergeant Earl ' s worthwhile demonstration, the individual racing ladder, the heavily-laden overnight campers who had trouble getting going in the parking lot, Mrs. Hyde- Lay ' s conquering of the chair and the slopes, and, finally, the well-organized inter-house racing, which was won by Groves ' in the senior division and Lake ' s in the junior. Most felt that Manning ' 86 was one of the best Ski Weeks ever. Many thanks to Mr. Grey for his organization. It ' s a great way to get rid of the February blues! - ' -3 k i , ,, M 76 m ' - J ' I 77 78 Every two years the senior science classes of Shawnigan Lake were able to take part in a tour to Washington. This year, 40 students from the physics, chemistry and computer science departments took part in this event. On March 6 the tour began. After several hours of travel, by bus and boat, we arrived at our first destination, McChord Airforce Base. The base was of special interest to us all. Besides all the food you could eat for under two dollars, most of us found the close up tour of state of the art war planes incredibly fascinating. From the airbase it was off to a submarine base. We were all anxious to see the famous Trident submarines, however due to unfortunate circumstances and tight security the tour did not fulfill our ex- pectations as the unexpected arrival at the base of a new submarine meant we could not visit the training facility. Keeping up with a busy schedule next morning, the science classes began with an early start to visit the Trojan Nuclear power plant. After sev eral bomb checks and security frisks we were able to explore the inner workings of a fission powered generator. After a hard days work the students were allowed out on the town of Longview, to burn off any excess energy that might have been obtained from the plant. Next day we blasted off to Mt. St. Helens. Because of cloudy weather we were unable to actually see the mountain, but were entertained by several films at the tour centre. It was then off to the Olympia Brewery to quench our thirst and have a tour of the plant, assisted with a lecture on the fine art of making beer. After the short stop we stumbled back on to the bus and drove back to Seattle. Here the Seattle Science Center was the focus of our visit where we saw the Imax film, ' The Dream is Alive ' and explored the center. We then boarded the bus and fastened our seat belts for the short flight to the Boeing plant. Here we ended our four day tour with a look at the immense 747 and 767 assembly line. In conclusion the science trip was a great success that was en- joyed by one and all. Not only was it a trip to see many interesting sites, but it made us aware of how the scientific theories we learn in class are applied practically in the real world. S. Pankiw D.

C ' est une occasion de parler frangais et espagnol dans un atmosphere d ' informalite - ce qui n ' est pas toujours possible dans les classes. Jusqu ' ici, on a offert des soirees de jeux, de musique et de films et nous esperons pouvoir continuer le club I ' annee prochaine. Hemos empezado el club con varios jeugos de diferentes niveles. Los jovenes ban par- ticipado en juegos de cartas, la lotteria, y juegos de tablon. Tenemos un campeonato de billares planeodo, una serie de peliculas para ver, y unas comidas tipicas de Espana, Francia, Quebec, y Latino- america. El club dura una hora y ha sido muy divertido. CLASSROOM As has become the custom, the year for the Grade Eights began with a three-day camping trip on Gabriola Island a few days before the beginning of classes. Unfortunately it rained almost the whole time, but we kept busy, sitting under a large tarpaulin writing, sketching, singing songs (lead by Josh Brandon), and playing innumerable games. When it did stop raining we would dash out and put the boats in the water, practise ascending and descending skills in full climbing gear, navigate around the orienteering course, or play the ever-popular Capture the Flag . The early morning run and swim was not the most popular event, but the majority braved a quick dip in the Pacific after a jog through the rain. The meals boasted better attendance and there was plenty to eat - charcoal broiled pancakes, baked oysters, flame-grilled hamburgers, and even a cheese-cake for dessert. Thanks to the leadership of senior boys Rhys Martin, James Robertson and Guy Porter, and staff members, Messrs. Rolston, Noble and Hill, all went smoothly, and after a couple of trips to dry out wet sleeping bags in the local laundromat, everyone remained dry the second night. The boys got to know each other a little before being confronted by the rest of the School, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves, at least in retrospect if not while wet and shivering round a smouldering fire sipping stewed tea liberally flavoured with ash. N.R. Fairbank OUTDOORS CLUB - a - rf This year the Outdoors Club met on Monday afternoons. There were 15 boys in this activity for the first two terms, but in the final term the demand was so great that we formed an additional Friday afternoon group. The Grade Eight Expedition began the year - we had a very wet three days on Gabriola Island; three senior boys gave up the last few days of their summer holidays to help with this. During the Indian Summer of September and mid-October we did some hiking and boating, and then as the wet weather closed in on us we spent much of the time working indoors, maintaining the boats and building a fibreglass kayak. Rhys Martin also built his own kayak. We hope to add a kayak to our fleet every year now that we have been able to obtain a mold. When the snow came unexpectedly in November, we were able to get out on cross-country skis for a few weeks. At Ski Week in February eight boys skied to Lightning Lake for some winter camping. On the theoretical side, we saw films on hypotherm ia and canoeing techniques, and 40 boys from the school completed the Red Cross emergency first aid course in February and March. In the summer term we planned several canoeing and kayaking trips down the Cowichan River, a three-day canoe trip to Portland Island, some caving, a little climbing, and some overnight hikes. Next year we hope to begin con- struction of a permanent ropes course beside the playing fields. Thanks should go especially to Sebastian Wade, Roger Schmitt, Sean Grey and Damian Gough whose enthusiasm and leadership throughout their final year made working with the group such a pleasure. N.R. Fairbank white-water RIFLE CLUB This year ' s marksmen were busy three times a week throughout the year and the rifle range, with over 500 individual attendances in the first two terms of the year alone, was busier than in any previous year. Altogether, the boys earned between them 26 Bronze awards, 17 Silver and 8 Gold. In addition Kai Taylor, having passed through all three of these levels, successfully finished his Sharpshooter level and started the long haul which will lead him next year to a Silver E.xpert Shield. For this activity it was a highly successful year. G.L. Anderson 90 The junior photography club has had a very profitable year, benefitting from a large group of very talented young photographers. Notable among this set were Tom Koechl, Barnaby Wade, Jason Lewis, Paul Oxley and Steve Turton who worked long, patient hours to produce many first-rate images. Jason ' s and Steve ' s trick double exposure prints were fascinating examples of what can be obtained in the darkroom. Barnaby concentrated on a wide variety of nature scenes while Paul produced a large assortment of photographs featuring diverse subjects. Tom reached a level of expertise rarely encountered in a beginner. His superb city-scapes of Vancouver, his action shots, his still-life prints and candids were all works of art ! Tom was a very worthy recipient of the Junior Photo prize. We are looking forward to a new era in the photography club due to a very kind donation from the Koechl family. The facility now boasts several new counters, cupboards and drawers, a new 3-unit sink and - what an asset! - temperature stabilization valves with multiple outlets. We are all indebted to the Koechls for this gesture. The future bodes well for all photographers at Shawnigan. How can their talents fail to develop?! S.A.S. Lane 91 MUSIC PROGRAMME Shawnigan is one of the few schools in Western Canada that does not include music in its academic curriculum. However, music in its many forms is evident all over the campus at different times. The instrumental pro- gramme this year was under the direction of Mr. Gordon Clements, and involved about a dozen students playing strings, woodwinds, brass and per- cussion. Three students, best known as the Taiwan Trio - Paul Yeh, Spencer Liu, and Frank Chang - performed at many events throughout the year, and have shown what can be achieved through hard work and dedication to one ' s instrument. They rehearsed and performed baroque trios, often with a harpsichord played by Graham Webber, and they placed first in their class at the Cowichan Festival. Graham, who is studying for his ARCT diploma in piano, was also successful in the Festival. A brass and percussion group Terp- sichord involving Scott Bunnell and Chris Wilkins (trumpets), Steve Godwin and Jeff Nye (trombones), Andrew Baycetich (tuba), and Tom Tompkins (percussion), performed music of the early Renaissance, as well as accompanying some of the carols at the Christmas Carol Service. A small beginner band was formed, composed of students learning a second or third instrument. Half a dozen boys studied the piano, and 10 were enrolled in guitar lessons with Mr. Jack Duckworth. The choir, this year with a membership of 33, led the singing in Chapel each week, and provided music for the Carol Service in December and the School Music Night at the end of March. Many members of the choir were also involved in the spring production of The Pirates of Penzance. Next year we hope that boys studying band instruments will have an opportunity to earn academic credit for so doing, thus raising the profile and import of music in the School. N.R. Fairbank MUSIC NIGHT BLACK (iOLD The ' Black Gold ' has faltered a little this year. Although the newspaper gained a great deal of subscription support in September, the practical support of many varied contributing articles and letters from staff and students was missing this year (notable ex- ceptions being Messrs. Hyde-Lay, Fairbank and Wild). As the newspaper group was rather small throughout the year, we were not able to generate enough stimulating copy and our readership appeared to be rather blase about the whole enterprise. Nevertheless, the ' Black Gold ' refused to compromise its high standards by going the way of all flesh as has the Sun chain of newspapers . . . not that the Headmaster would have approved anyway! Many thanks go to the whole group for their efforts and to the unfailing help of the School photographers.

Jarvis P.J. Jarvis The Christmas Carol was a highHght of winter at Shawnigan. Rehearsals began in September and continued throughout the term, till the cast and crew were ready for the final production in December. The play ran for three nights to packed houses. The adaptation that we used was by Shaun Sutton, because this was written for a large cast. The setting decided upon was simple and effective with a few major set pieces and open staging. The play revolves around the character of Scrooge and the success of the play is directly attributable to our scrooge, Robert Meekison. Rob Played his first role as Squeers in the School production of Smike last year. This, his second major role, required strong characterisation and great emotional depths. He lived up to our ex- pectations and gathered the large cast around him to create a most enjoyable and satisfying per- formance. The cast had a number of very strong per- formances. Sean Grey as the ghost of Marley was 99 memorable, his tor tured voice and deathlilce movements were striking. Damian Gough and Sarah Shaw were good as the Cratchit couple, they brought a feeling of warmth to the play. The two portly gentlemen, namely Graham Webber and Michael Wild were fun and helped create the comedy in this tragedy. The stage sets were constructed and worked by Garth Friesen and his Merry Men. The props were under the eye of Mike Kaye and the lighting was again spot on under the watchful eye of Paul Robinson. The play was Directed and Produced by Mr. J.S. Grey ably assisted by Mr. J. Sarsfield and Antony Ostler. J.S. Grey 100 i THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE The second major production of the year was the updated version of the Gilbert and Sullivan Musical, Pirates of Pen- zance . Casting was begun in January and the rehearsals t hen took place on a regular basis until the play was put on in April. The production dates in the summer term, seemed to be perfect. The cast and crew were able to reach their peak and the outcome was a memorable production. We played to sell out houses for three nights and our guests were more than com- plimentary. The performance was full of that necessary ' Pizzazz ' . The cast was fortunate in having some very strong leads and they ensured a secure and fun show. Greg Stone had charisma and energy as the Pirate King and so was very effective. Peter Oxley played Fred and gave an outstanding performance, being sincere, emotional and believable. Perhaps the strongest character was Mike Wild as the Major General. He was in his second role at the School and he showed the potential that he has in this activity. We were most fortunate in having two excellent ladies as the female lead of Mabel. Miss Debbie Parminter was Mabel. Corinda Davies, as the understudy in her first show, was ex- cellent and shows exceptional promise. She had the lead for the opening performance. The lead as Ruth was very well acted by Mrs. Donna Campbell, who gave experience and strength to the show. The daughters of the Major General were young ladies from the Cowichan Vallev, to whom we are most indebted. The young ladies gave colour and vitality to the show, Our chorus of Pirates was fierce and skilled, their singing was enthusiastic and their actions dynamic. Their ' cat-like tread ' was rivetting! Our Police Chorus was superior in every way. Led most ably by Sergeant Webber, they stayed in step and were the favourites of the gallery. The stage production showed thought and originality. Under the direction of Garth Friesen, the stage was transformed from an open area to a ship of the line. The building of the set was mainly in the hands of Paul Le Blanc and Mark Wooldridge. Props were again looked after very well by Mike Kaye and the lighting ran smoothly under the watchful eye again of Paul Robinson. The singing and band were under the Musical Direction of Mr. N. Fairbank. The cast sang with enthusiasm and vigour, ac- companied by a band of skilled musicians on the synthesisers, piano, bass and drums. The Production and Direction were the responsibility of Mr. J.S. Grey, ably assisted by Mr. J. Sarsfield and Antony Ostler. The musical was fun to do and fun to watch, what better review could be given! It was a pleasure to work with such talented and pleasant young people. We look forward to the new year and a new Musical. J.S.

People shall cry and wonder alone If this is the fate that has been cast in stone Once it has passed there won ' t be sound just the whisper of fallout being blown to the ground.

Todd McKay is not content with the outboard he built last year. His current work is a 19 ft. boat powered by a 454 cu.in. inboard! Hardly the run around the local boating pool type. However, Todd ' s is not the only boat to take a prominent position in the back area of the workshop. Malcolm Hammond is building a very fine 14 ft. outboard, and his standard of work- manship is very high. Greg Stirzaker prefers the small type of boat that sits a little closer to the water, an 8 ft. outboard. This too is progressing nicely. We had a donation of several pieces of burl-like cuttings from a cedar log that was being cut up locally. Consequently, several boys have been busily manufact uring wall clocks from the burls. These, along with table tops from the same material, have provided much interest this term. Kai Taylor made a western cedar picnic table for his House in a couple of activity periods, thereby creating much interest from the other Houses and as a result more are being built. Derek Thomas has completed his computer desk, and with his talent, it took very little of his time. He chose western maple for his project and the finished work is very fine indeed. Mark Hunter continues to struggle along with his oak coffee table, a good looking item but not close enough to the completion stage for this his final year. Several boys throughout the year make an attempt at carving, but very few have the patience to take their time, preferring instead to create a Michaelangelo type sculpture in ten minutes, or less! But not so for Barnaby Wade. He selected a nice piece of Jelutong and carved a superb miniature of a male figure that must be seen to be appreciated. His success in this area has prompted some of the Grade Eight students to try their hand at carving with some fair results. But the quick and easy-to-make clock still proves to be the most popular item with the usual number being made. Hafiz Damani and a couple of his friends decided that the usual wall clock was not for them and they are creating very fine mantel clocks, with a movement that must be hand wound every eight days. The Woodwork activity continues to be a popular area of recreation for a large number of students in the School, and we are indeed fortunate to have such a facility at our disposal. R.

Car t th chool. y R. Carr I The School Drafting program was revived this year with more students selecting this option. The year 1986 87 appears to be even more popular with larger numbers electing the courses in Grades 11 and 12. Perhaps the attraction is the new Auto CAD system that we purchased this summer term. This electronic drawing program enables us to produce the drawings on the screen of the computer and have the results drawn by a plotter, with a choice of several colours. The light pen which is attached to the Victor 9000 computer (kindly donated by Mr. Hanson) allows the student to write on the screen as well as provide input via the keyboard. The program is very comprehensive but broken down into easily managed drawing operations. Each group of commands can be mastered in a few hours and the Auto Cad ' s drawing capabilities are virtually limitless - bound only by imagination and skills that are developed by using the program. This type of equipment enables us to be in the forefront and to offer students the most up-to-date in technology, and is a fine addition to the computer program already in use in the School. R.

Lonsdale Trophy winners for the first time in 10 years! It has been a year of many achievements which began with a thrilling 1st place finish in the Around the Lake Relay with Head of House, Paul Bryden, in schoolboy storybook fashion fending off a dramatic last leg push by Lake ' s House. Our overall success was the result of solid academic achievement (consistent first place finishes by the Juniors in the Tri-Weeklies and respectable 3rd or 4th places for the Seniors) and excellent athletic achievement characterised by good sportsmanship, harmonious team play and some fine individual performances. Most importantly, however, the year was marked by harmony within the House as the result of a close, unified Grade 12 group. ver New Year ' s Highlights: - Seb Wade winning the Tour du Lac - ridden a bicycle before? - Blane Fowler chosen for exchange to Zealand. - final term blitz of wins in Senior and Junior Tennis, Field Hockey, Junior Track and Field. - School Colours in Cycling - Andre Weaver - School Colours in Tennis - John Jung - Double School Colours to Paul Bryden - Triple School Colours and Groves ' All-Rounder prize to Sebastian Wade - Florian Tovstigo appointed School Prefect - Byron Horner appointed Head of House P.J. Jarvis L O N S D A L E This year has been a particularly bountiful one for Lonsdale ' s. Along with a new Housemaster, Mr. Davies, we also acquired a brand new T.V., pillows for our common room, and a jungle of plants in our hallways. Our juniors landed a first place finish in one academic assessment, showing that we have a strong academic base for the next two years or so. Unfortunately, our seniors did not manage as well, but were always gallant and diligent in their efforts to finish in the top of the standings. The many pizza parties and House outings created a very recreational atmosphere in the House, culminating in the crowning of Clive Henshaw as the Leary Cup champion of Ping- Pong at our Christmas end-of-term party. Well done, Lonsdale ' s! Duncan Strong 130 G R O V E ' 85- ' 86 proved to be a good year for Groves ' House, especially coming second overall in its neverending search for the Lonsdale Trophy. The House did well in all aspects of Inter-House events. In particular the juniors were a strong force in Academics, holding first or second throughout most of the year. Going into most of the Inter-House sport events, however. Groves ' was ranked last!! This proved wrong as Groves ' House ' s competitive nature and House spirit raised to all of the occasions and came up with many fine performances. Within the House, living conditions were improved by the new furniture, the ping-pong table, and the fooseball table. The House spirit remained excellent and reached a high point with the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. McCracken ' s new son, James. Groves ' will continue to be a predominant figure in School Ufe and I am proud to be a member of such an enthusiastic House. Glenn Templeton r L A K E All in all the year went extremely well and very fast. We had a slow start in the academics and sports end but we very quickly progressed. We reached the House ' s highest academic average ever and we won many Inter-House sports to keep the cabinet full. This year was by no means a quiet year especially on the top floor, it must have been our rather large Grade 11 class. The junior grades were also quite large except for the Grade Eights, there were only four. The prefects and Grade 12 ' s this year demonstrated excellent leadership. therefore, lessening my work load. This year marks the end of Mr. Graham Anderson ' s (29 years) term of Housemastership. It is sad to see him go but as he says it is time to push along and give someone else a chance. I now only wish next years Housemaster, Mr. Peter Yates, a successful term however long it may be and also to next years graduating class and prefects. Paul Le Blanc Head of House .

After 5 years of walking, talking, living and breathing Shawnigan, ihis is the perfect op- portunity to look back on the years that have meant so much lo nic. Shawnj i is a school in which an individual is ve for excellence in not only one, but :ea.s. i( is one of few schools that offer an programme. It has a scope of activities that of schools many times its size, it be: academics, athletics, or activities, is something here for everyone. The wide of opportunities gives the student the choice ecializing in something he is good at or trying something he has never done before. This is what wnigan to send 42 very different in- ther than 42 clones, out into ihe real many all-r T 86, ' retu ' ships ' are lea new an Today ' ay of each school year is sentimental us; the graduating class in particular. e last day that we, the Grad Class of 1 be together as a group.

Memows and friendships built up on the rugby field, in 1 class and during enjoyable events which would now amuse the Headmaster. m At the begirining of the year 1 said that thel success and happiness of the year would depend almost entirely on the attitude of the students; you proved me right by making this successful and thoroughly enjoyable year. A special thanks to th|| grad class for being so supportive and vvorkiiMteo well together. This class showed a unity - c camaraderie rarely seen in a group this size, was proud to be a part of it. We all owe a lot t staff for their dedication and patiejice. Ihe? continuous caring support is an impoiMf paTOoi Shawnigan ' s ability to make the most ' of every ' students potential.

Panjwar 153 I THE HEADMASTER ' S CLOSING DAY SPEECH Saturday, 21 June, 1986. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Governors. Ladies and Gentlemen: Good afternoon and welcome to our 69th annual prize-giving and graduation ceremonies. It is a distinct pleasure to welcome the many parents and friends of the Shawnigan family who have joined us today to honour the 1986 graduating class. The events of the day are especially designed to honour the 42 young men in front of me. There is no question that one ' s hight school graduation marks a significant milestone in one ' s life. It is a day to give thanks: a day to feel a justifiable sense of pride and accomplishment: a day for reflection and thought and certainly a day of transition. .- t the outset, a special vote of thanks and acknowledgement is due to the graduating class themselves. The staff of the School relies in no small measure on the Grade 12 class to set the tone and spirit of our community and this year ' s senior students have demonstrated maturity, ihoughtfuiness and a genuine concern for the School. They have lead the School by the example of their deligent efforts in the cla.ssroom, their determination and talent on the playing field and their active participation and enjoyment of the activities programme. In particular, I want to congratulate Feisal Panjvvani and his School Prefects for iheir quietly effective leadership and their special efforts in continuing the development of School unity and improving the lines of communication between the students and the staff. Student leadership is essential if our goals as a com- munity are to be realized, and it is a task characterized by difficult choices, peer pressures and long hours. There is no doubt that the School community owes Paul Le Blanc, Rob Meekison, Glenn Templeton. Mark Wooldridge, Blair Carson. Paul Bryden, Sebastian Wade and Feisal Panjwani a vote of thanks and ap- preciation for their fine efforts on our behalf. A. warm and heartfelt thank you is offered to those who are perhaps the most important - but least recognized - factor in the scheme of things. I refer, of course, to our parents. Parenting is often a daunting experience, particularly so when the object of your affection is that remarkable species known as the adolescent male! Yet in so many ways the support, the understanding and the concern of a parent is vital in a boy ' s growth and developntent. Despite our relative isolation, I am delighted to see so many parents in attendance at all manner of School functions. Your presence and involvement make a world of difference to your sons and your belief in what we are trying to accomplish is a source of strength for all of us. Your encouragement in word and deed is a catalyst for the continuing improvement of the School, its programmes and its facilities. I draw your attention to just one example which stands behind you. The magnificent new flag pole is a gift of Mr. Jack McKay, father of a graduating student, and Mr. Norm Magee, father of a new boy entering Grade 8 next year. This generous donation is most appreciated and is typical of the thoughtfulness of our parents. I am quite confident that the parents and the students would be the first to join me when I offer a special thank you to the men and women of the Shawnigan staff. While I am constantly amazed by the breadth and depth of their talents, it is the outstanding use of these talents which makes the difference. The love of subject, when wedded to an abiding concern for youth results in a com- mitment to teaching which is rarely seen. Perhaps this year ' s Ministry of Education ' s Evaluation report on Shawnigan Lake School started this most succinctly - In a world of shifting values and lower standards it is refreshing to discover enclaves where excellence is actively sought and achieved. Shawnigan is indeed blessed to have a leani that sets such a fine example of service to the teaching profession. 1 would like to take this opportunity to specifically mention some notable staff changes that are forthcoming. At the con- clusion of the year. Mr. Dick Smith will be leaving Shawnigan after 9 years of loyal .service. Dick ' s sense of humour, concern for his students and his remarkable organizational skills will be missed. In particular, Dick ' s long association and excellent work- as a student advisor in Copeman ' s House have been much ap- preciated. We all wish Dick and Jill and their family best wishes in their new endeavours. In addition, we bid farewell to Brian Carr who has made a significant contribution to our rowing and rugby programmes while completing his own university education. Brian will be remembered for many things, not the least of which is his bubbling personality and willingness to lend a helping hand. 1 would be remiss if I did not refer to one other change which will be particularly evident in Lake ' s House next year. After 29 years of housemastering, Graham Anderson relinquishes that position today. Fortunately for the school, Graham will continue his teaching responsibilities as well as assume the role of advisor for I I f I some of our most gifted students. I know that 29 years of housemastering cannot be summed up in a few words. For so iat4( hpufjiroftrtfti t w M Cis hnm lAj i ndarM rms. H!s firm belief m tne need to trust youn| Idents with guidance and wisdom, to lend a a sympaihetic ear (as well as the occasional jolly good bollickine ); these are the ' ' ' ' Milliiliil ' il illlM ' ' ' marked Graham as a truly outstanding mj a t wiiigan h in- debted !o you, sir, and I offer our congratulations and heartfelt gratitude i oi your Sciiool. I am pleased to say that Mr. Peter Yates assume the role of housemaster in Lake ' s House and jle psition is well underway. Following in the footsteps of Gfffi3 ersoo will not be an easy task but f have every confidence thai e ' s will be in fine hands. In our continuing attempt lo develop a comprehensive university guidance and careers planning office, 1 have appointed Mr. Phillips Jarvis to assume the po.sition of Registrar, Mr. Jarvis ' new role will combine the tasks performed so admirably in the past by Mr. Gotthardt with a thorough programme of career plaaning for ail students. The first stages of this service where init i flw|ffi fe year and, by all indications, it has been a most worthwhilel88™e. Today is also a day to feel pride in the significant ac- complishments of the year. Shortly you will hear from the Dean of Academics as well sure that you will that have marked the 1985 86 School year. I will only preface their comments by saying that there is a new lightness in spirit about the School, a pervadingjair, of confidence and an eager anticipation of -t j xfe-rfialiq e jjl i The diversity of the Shawnigan ex i5 ijlits of the ftorts Qf ot students are students and ' ill who are ■ ' ■ivileged to atteh3 this schbof re extremely fortunate because it is a i outstanding example of what can be achieved when a strr - ' .-- ive will and a clear vision of excellence are brought into concert. Graduation day should also be a time for some reflective thought and introspection. On may speculate at length as to the reasons for the highly successful completion of another school year. What are the decisive factors involved which translate into success or failure? 1 suggest that perhaps it is a function of how well a School brings out the great energies and talents of its students. As with any organization, it is a question of how well a community helps its members find a common cause and how well atiytriatsTrorncme year to tfte next, f thitiic ffetyot will finff any fine School such as Shawnigan owes its resilience to the power of what 1 call beliefs and the appeal these beliefs has to all me mbers of our School. I firmly believe that any School, in order to survive and flourish, must have a strong set of values on which it premises all its policies and actions. Furthermore the faithful adherence to such values is the most important ingredient ioM success. The basic piiiosophy, spirit and drive of a School hav Hf more to do with flL relative achievements than do e noiw ' _ resources, innovation, good timing or good luck. TheMMBlK ' certainly affect a school but they are, I think, transcendd pl how strongly we believe in the basic precepts and how faithfujBy they are carried out. A And that is my message for our graduates. While we all pi you healthy economic resources, innovative thinking, superior liming and the best of luck, I truly hope that your Shawnigan edacation has helped to provide you with a set of values and beliefs. Honesty, decency, compassion, diligence, determination and self- confidence - those are the values of Shawnigan and no matter what the future brings, each one of you can be truly successful if you :less and the true filled with paradox:- excitement aiia 55J!6( iSu j mph and tragedy, wise decisions , i and, no d o u bfT ' s csnfe f do n ' ones . If you hold on to your values ' with a passion and put ihem into practice, you will be a leader amongst men. As Old Boys of the Scho rfou nwJoJn a select group of -in- dividuals who ' t ' e n dptflBMBBpe world disproporti to their nu mbeff TfraBtra ' a WR common thread in pattern of success has been their allegiance to a strong value system. To all of you - graduates, students, staff, governors and friends - 1 thank you for the continuing opportunity to serve as your headmaster and wish each of you a safe, enjoyable and relaxing summer holiday. DEPARTING STAFF MR. BRIAN CARR Mr. Brian Carr, a Brentwood Old Boy, joined the Shawnigan staff in the fall of 1984. He was an Advisor in Lake ' s House and coached rugby and rowing at the junior levels. Mr. Carr soon became affectionately known as Dad , B.C. or C.C. (Coach Carr). In 1985-86 he coached the Colts A rowing programme to an undefeated season. The School will miss Mr. Carr ' s coaching and humour. There is no doubt that he has contributed a lot to Shawnigan, by his coaching and radiant personality. We wish Mr. Carr the best of luck at UVic next year and in the years after as well. Ken O ' Kennedy MRS. SUSAN CARTER Susan Reed came to work in the kitchen at Shawnigan 7 1 2 years ago and then moved into the office as Receptionist Secretary. As Susan Carter sh e now leaves in order to take up duties as full-time homemaker for her husband, Ken. Her cheerfulness, friendliness, willingness and attractiveness will be missed by us all at School. Nevertheless we all wish Susan (and Ken) good luck and happiness in the exciting months which lie just ahead - first the building of their new home in Maple Bay and then, sometime in November, the arrival of their first child. All the best, Susan, enjoy . . . Olivette R. Blanchette P MR DICK SMITH I I Mr. Smith, also known as Sparx , is a man the School is going to miss. Here is a man of honesty, integrity, dedication, good nature and wit. I for one am convinced that he could quite easily be a writer in Britian ' s Punch magazine. He has served the school well as a soccer coach, French teacher, advisor and statistian. You have served us well, sir, and will surely continue to do so wherever Hfe takes you. We will always remember you, and your favourite saying: The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. - Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Roger Greger MRS. OLIVETTE BLANCHETTE  At the end of the school year Mrs. Blanchette ( Olivette ) decided to retire from the office staff to the rewarding pursuits of her beloved children and grandchildren. During her five and a half years of service to the school Olivette impressed everyone with her ability to seemingly type for many people at once yet still produced top quality work. The staff will miss Olivette ' s attention to detail and her willingness to help, even at the most hectic of times. Also the boys will miss her friendly demeanour.
