It would be easy to regret Shawnigan ' s loss as the McClellands embark upon a new chapter in their lives, but instead it is more appropriate to express our happiness for the contribution they have made here in two decades which have been characterized by kindness, wisdom, generosity and, above all, by a sincere interest in all people - young and old, big and small - who have known them. Horace joined the staff at Shawnigan in 1967 as School Chaplain, a difficult role to fill, but one in which he excell- ed. Horace ' s success lay in the unique blend of per- sonalities he developed, being spiritual father to the boys while at the same time earning their deep respect as teacher and rugby, cricket and golf coach. The rapport that Horace maintained with the students is clearly illustrated by the close contact he still enjoys with so many members of the extended Shawnigan family: he writes letters of recommen- dation for them, he marries them, he baptizes their children, he entertains them and, though it may seem sad, he buries them. Apart from his permanent position as Chaplain, Horace served in a variety of other roles while at Shawnigan: he was briefly, the Housemaster of Lonsdale ' s, he was Assis- tant Headmaster, Acting Headmaster and between the years of 1975 and 1978 he was our seventh Headmaster. No matter what hat Horace wore, he immersed himself in the job at hand and completed every commitment with an unsurpassed thoroughness. Never did he lose sight of his position as counselor, however, he was always more than ready to give a minute or an hour to new boy or senior teacher alike when his advice or comfort was sought. Sheila ' s quiet and unselfish devotion to the school found her fulfilling a diversity of functions: arranging flowers in the Chapel and main building, washing the Chapel laundry, driving boys to medical appointments, and working long hours in the costume cupboard during school musicals. For many, her cordon bleu cuisine was a highlight - countless rugby teams and servers will long recall the bombe for desert! Less obviously, but even more importantly, Shawnigan has benefitted gr eatly from Sheila ' s indirect devotion to the school in the tolerance she showed for Horace ' s commitments to the school. Few wives would be able to put up with a spouse who served the school during such irregular hours, seven days a week, for twenty years! We hope Horace and Sheila McClelland enjoy a very happy retirement. Boring and hum-drum it will not be as they begin their mygratory lives in Cowichan Station and Bor- rego Springs, California. From Boys, staff, old boys, parents and friends of Shawnigan go our fondest wishes, and an especially big thank you! for all they have done. Stephen Lane. STAG REPORT 86-87 This year has been exceptionally good regarding the progress that we made with seemingly so lit- tle time. Everyone put in an incredible effort and showed total commitment to this arduous activity. I was very pleased to see many new faces and have noticed that there is a lot of talent in this group, which will be reflected in the book. I enjoyed working with everyone involv- ed in the making of The Stag. A special thanks goes to Mr. Rolston for giving his time, guiding our work on the book, and also many thanks to Mrs. Rolston who also donated countless hours of her time to help with the designing of the pages and also for bringing food to help us make it through the afternoons. As well, a special thanks to Rhonda in the office for so patiently typing the endless stream of written reports. Jason Blanchette, Editor Left to Right from the Top. Jason Blanchette Mr. D. Rolston Mrs. L.Rolston Majid Jamshidi Willy Khan Aaron Bewza Mike Walker % NEW STAFF JAY CONNOLLY Jay graduated from Shawnigan Lake School in 1980 and has returned to the fold as a part-time staff member. He received his hv. - r j b B.A. from U. Vic in 1985 and is currently working on his fil CJ9 ■ Master ' s degree in writing. Jay is involved in many aspects of school life, including Pl l V y i P coaching, teaching, and tutoring. He is also helping out in the ' 1 library and is in charge of the school newspaper. He, his wife KfW M. h , -- , Maureen, and their 2 year old son, Jack, are living in the main building. B Jay feels that Shawnigan gives many great opportunities to young w j people, as well as preparing them well for the future. We are hap- fl BT 5. py to welcome back this old boy who is bound to make many 1 U positive contributions to the school. MARIUS FELIX We are very pleased to welcome Marius to the staff. He is a familiar face to many, as he attended Brentwood College as a stu- dent and later taught and coached there. Their loss is definitely our gain! Marius has been an international rugby player and rower. While attending the University of Washington, where he completed his B.A., he made his mark as stroke of their successful Varsity VIII crew. Currently he is playing rugby for Cowichan R.F.C. (Dun- can) and keeping busy at Shawnigan with his coaching duties, as well as contributing to many areas of school life with his varied talents. He and his wife, Andrea, have built a beautiful home on the lake and we hope they will enjoy a long and happy association with S.L.S. 10 RICHARD FARRELL Rick has joined us from London, Ontario. He had a taste of S.L.S. life last winter at ski week and decided to return for more! Rick is doing duty and living in Ripley ' s House as well as con- tributing to the school in many other areas. He graduated from Ryerson Institute in Toronto with a diploma in Photography, and is a welcome addition to the photo club and yearbook staff. He will also be coaching Bantam rowing and is currently looking after the running and weights program. We hope Rick enjoys his year in the west and we welcome him to the staff. JAMES MACIVER Mr. James Maclver is one of the new staff members who joined the Shawnigan family this year. He was born in Kamloops, B.C., went to high school at Williams Lake School, and attended the University of Victoria. He has a degree in music which he earned at U. VIC. Mr. Maclver will be a music teacher at Shawnigan and will be responsible for the school band. Because Mr. Maclver will be participating in a European singing group next May, he is not too sure if he will come back to Shawnigan next year. He is also planning to go to university in England to get his Master ' s degree. On behalf of Shawnigan Lake School, I would like to welcome him to our school and we hope he will have an enjoyable stay with us. Majid Jamshidi Grade 10 11 SHAWNIGAN GOES CO-ED FOR 1987 h to W II ( The following is an exclusive interview by the yearbook staff with Renate Grass. Yearbook: When did you come as a student to Shawnigan? Renate: In January of 1987. Yearbook: Why Shawnigan? Renate: I became disenchanted with my previous school. I didn ' t feel welcome or that I belonged there, I found it impossible to break into the strong, existing cliques. As a little girl, I had always dreamed of going to Shawnigan but, of course, thought it would never be possible, so when the opportunity came to go to Shawnigan I felt I couldn ' t pass it up. Cowichan High was out of the question because of the semester system. Yearbook: What were your initial feelings when you heard that you were accepted at Shawnigan? Renate: At first I was quite wary - how would the guys accept me and react to me? After my past experiences I was concerned about breaking into existing cliques. It also was a concern that I was going to be the only girl at the school, however, above all, I was hopeful and excited, mingled with a bit of nervousness. Yearbook: When you finally entered Shawnigan, what were your first impressions. Renate: Right from the very start I felt welcomed by everyone. The guys were friendly and they seemed to accept me as one of them. I feel it has helped to be able to be part of the field hockey team because I can work alongside the guys. Yearbook: Now that you have been with us for half a year, what has it been like? Renate: Really, I have been very pleased. Most of the time I seem to be treated like one of the guys. Of course there were times that it is a little awkward such as if other students think someone is becoming too friendly with me then they call him names and set rumours flying - the result being he shys away from me. I feel I must be careful not to get involved with anyone in particular at the school because that would put an unnecessary strain on all relationships. It is difficult to meet guys from outside of the school, due to time restraints, however, there is lots of time later for this. This is not a major problem. At this point, I like being a friend to everyone so that at a dance I don ' t have to worry about who I dance with. joyed this and I look forward to even more next year. I ' m sure that with my increased presence in the house that the boys of Groves ' will have to adjust as well. I have also found that it is important for me to keep up my friendship with girls from outside of the school. All my girlfriends are jealous of me. They would love to be able to go to Shawnigan! There is one complaint that I do have and that is I would really love to have a room that I could call my own, where I could do my prep. It is fine at home but I feel like I need to be part of the school in this regard. Something else is odd about being one of a kind in a situation: the teachers notice me right away. I can ' t miss a class or sit back without a comment from the teacher. It would be nice at times to be anonymous. Yearbook: Do you feel Shawnigan should be co-ed? Renate: This is tough to answer. I know that by going co-ed the boy ' s presentation of themselves would be smarter, however, this quickly leads to competiton and showing off. At present I really enjoy the casualness of the boys. They do not have to impress anyone. I also feel that with a single sex school the comradery is superior. I guess what I am saying is that I would be quite happy for Shawnigan to remain single sex (plus me!). Yearbook: One last question. How has it been to be a student at the school where your father is teaching? Renate: This year has been great, I feel that our relationship has grown deeper and closer. We get to see alot more of each other now. I am a bit concerned about next year however, because I will be in one of my father ' s classes. I suspect he will treat me the same as anyone else, or he might be more strict. I am sure it will all work out fine. Thank you Renate for your thoughts and we all wish you a great final year with us. I have, of late, been a bit more involved in the house duties during prep. I have en- RETURNING STAFF R.L. Grass 14 J.C. Sarsfield 15 16 MEDICAL STAFF The medical department in any boarding school plays a very impor- tant, 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 emergen- cies and 2) the ' Sick Bay ' (a 9 bed hospital) 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 medical staff consists of: W. Douglas McCauley, B.A. Eugene W. Shahariw, D.M.D., Rolf Maijer, D.D.S. M.D. We are very grateful to these men and their staff for providing the school with such excellent medical and dental care. Major renovations and upgrading of the radiology and Emergency Departments have made the Cowichan District Hospital an even better and more modern fully accrediated institution. We are fortunate to have such a fine facility so near at hand. Once again, it has been another busy year but the general health of the school has been very good. Mary Hyde-Lay, R.N., Head Nurse.

Campbell, J. Davies, P. Hill. Confirmation is a very important time in a person ' s life. It marks a point at which old habits are dropped to make room for growing up in the real world. Being confirmed is like a second baptism. When you are baptised your parents made vows for you because you are too young to make them yourself. When you are confirmed you are remaking those vows after you have understood them. In early November, 13 boys began to participate in a series of confirmation classes. They started at 6:45 p.m. and usually ended around 7:30 p.m. we discussed the Ten Commandments, the Resurrection and all other aspects of the Christian faith. On the whole, I and everyone who took part in the classes, found the interesting, fulfilling and a supple- ment to our faith. They gave us a good understanding of our beliefs and vows. We would like to wish Canon McClelland success in his future and I am sure the new chaplain will provide similar inspiration to next year ' s confirmation class. Shane Bowes (Grade 9) 23 CHAPEL The services in the Chapel have followed the same format as in recent years (with services for the whole school on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. and Wednesdays at 8:10 a.m.). Those, at which attendance is voluntary, have been Evening Prayers, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Celebrations of Holy Communion on either Friday evenings or Sunday mornings. There have been the usual special services - Thanksgiving, Remem- brance Day and Founder ' s Day, at which the guest speaker - Mr. Ian McPherson, D.F.C., Lake ' s House 1935-39, held the interests of all with many amusing reminiscences and anecdotes. The Festival of Lessons and Carols was again held on the last Sunday of the Fall Term and the offerings were given to Operation Eyesight. During the year, a Font, designed and carved by Jim McCullough and a Ewer crafted by Ted Walker, a local potter, were dedicated in memory of Frank Duxbury 1900-1982. With the whole school as congregation a few weeks later, the Font was used for the baptism of James Peter Roaf, son of old boy Peter Roaf and his wife Beverly. We were again grateful to many members of staff who spoke at the Wednesday morning services and for Steven van Halst, Michael Wild, Stephen Montague and Colin Scott who on many occasions conducted Evening Prayers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are also grateful to Messrs. J.S. Grey, D.G. Rolston, and W.J. McCracken for their ready help as Lay Assistants at the Eucharist. The Chapel Committee was also very grateful to Mrs. McClelland and Mrs. McCracken for the fl oral arrangements which added greatly to the atmosphere and the beauty of the Chapel. By the time these notes are read, the Reverend Gordon Payne will have taken over as Chaplain and he and his wife and family have our very best wishes for a fruitful and very happy ministry at Shawnigan.

This not only made life difficult at the top, but the ripple effect was felt to an even greater degree by the 2nd, 3nd and 4th XV ' s. The playing records of these teams suffered accordingly. The 1st XV never- theless acquitted itself well. Undoubtedly, the most enjoyable game of the season was the final home fixture with St. Michael ' s. We were anxious to atone for the loss we had suffered at their hands earlier in the season. Although we lost again, 15-29, it was an ex- cellent and enjoyable match. It was a severe blow to lose our Captain and fullback, Paul Robinson, (shoulder, and out for a month) and Garth Friesen (leg) to injury in the same match. These two were key players. The casualty list continued to rise and included flanker, John Krotez (hand); prop, Chris Cot- trell (leg); centre, Chris Cooper (wrist); and two or three useful 2nd XV players. Whilst our team was seriously weakened by these losses, their replacements came through with flying colours. The forwards were extremely well led by prop, Ian Kennedy, who set a standard of fitness and commitment that has seldom been equall- ed at the School. His leadership and drive were infectious and he was invariably one of the best forwards on the field. The hooking duties were shared between Shaun Jackson, our exchange student from New Zealand, and Rhys Martin. Shaun was more robust in the loose but Rhys was the quicker striker. Florian Tovstigo came in at prop to replace the injured Cottrell and did extremely well for a converted 2nd XV wing! The locks were Ken O ' Kennedy, a reliable work horse and Michael Kaye or Matt Burke, both tall, both good in the lineout, both on the lean side and both improving with each game. Alan Campbell adapted to a new game, for him, amazingly well. He will become an outstanding 8 next season. The flankers were John Krotez and Anthony Ostler, both short but tireless workers, and quick around the field. John had a particularly good season, always near the ball and always pressur- SHawnigAN Ij TtH 27 ing the halfbacks. Anthony ' s strength was in covering in defence and in his tackling, though, on occasion, he surprised us all with his running skill. Stuart Wright and David Fullerton were an effective link at halfback with Stuart scoring a number of cheeky tries. Todds Sigfstead, Chris Cooper and later, his replacement, Miles Lawrence, were solid in the centre, especially Todds who never played at any level below total commitment. David Howell-Jones, Angus Walker and Cam Barker, were effective wings and Cam showed his versatility by playing fullback when Paul Robinson was not available, and was also our main place kicker. Our aim was to play 15-man rugby and whenever we got our fair share of the ball, we succeeded in doing so. Mr. D. Hyde-Lay ! -«jj= V  Wn f $ ■ Ik ' f T ' BP - L. 7-13 vs Magee S.S.

Their play naturally suf- fered as their ranks became depleted through attrition, either to the call of the 1st XV or to injury. Thirty-three players were played during the season. Despite these minor calamities, they acquitted themselves well and all their matches, except one, were close. Barnaby Wade deserves special mention for his captaincy of an every changing team. He never allowed it to interfere with his own play which was always of a high standard, and had he been called upon to play for the 1st XV, he would have acquitted himself very well indeed. Others who were fairly regular members were backs - John Turk (ever improving), Allan Chase (centre), Angus Walker (when not on 1st XV duty), and Joe Kamon and Drew Stratford (on the wings). The steadiest forwards were Jason Hildebrandt, Hoover Kan, Rhys Martin, Stuart Halliday and Simon Game. There is little doubt that at full strength the 2nd XV was a good side and could well have won all it ' s matches. Mr. D.

The year promised some of the greatest results ever with the return of many experienced players along with a host of promising new boys. The 3rd XV began the year on a positive note with vic- tories over Brentwood and St. Georges. The team, predominantly grade twevles, was led well by Blane Fowler until his unionunate injury, and all players with consistent hard work were seniors Greg Purcell, Rob Chickite and Tom Tetrault. Steady play in the backs, especially on defence, was provided by Mike Vopni, Rob Broadbent and Mark Graham. The tough job of playing in the back row and in the backs was handled well by Kai Taylor and Jan Morton. So many players contributed to the fine rugby played this season, the en- tire second game squad must be congratulated. Brad Jermyn Top Row (L to R): Mr. D. Williams, P. Crawford, R. Broadbent, S.

The 4th XV, like all the teams, suffered injuries but with a great deal of determination and dedica- tion to the sport had some impressive victories and always played a tough, physical style of game. Led by Brad Jermyn, players like Pat DeWitt, Shawn Marshall, Albi DeNardi, Paul Crawford, Graham Benjafield, Tony Kaul and Jamie Robert- son played hard every time out. Coming up from the 5th XV and showing great promise were newcomers Tony Vlahos, John Frankovich, and Doug Copley. Overall, the scoreboard for the Second Game was Standing: (L-R) Mr. Williams, R.

To Mr. Williams and Mr. Fernandez, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Second Game for another season of which we can be proud. Brad Jermyn Standing L-R Mr. D. Williams, H. Nakamura, M.

Mr. Dickens and myself were quite convinced that with another couple of months this group could realize their own potential. Nigel Mayes and Rofe Swinton played consistently well and no doubt these two will have a good shot at the lock positions on the next year ' s 1st XV. Dave Lionas, at number eight, was really coming into his own, playing aggressively and with commitment. Up front, Wes Tomlinson, Zack Zenith, and Troy Young shared the propping duties, with Guy Porter doing the hooking. Quite a good front row, with their strength being set scrummaging. Flanking were newcomers Marc Synenko and Cor- bin Blume. Considering their inexperience at such vital positions, they accounted well of themselves. As a unit these eight played ex- tremely well. The Colt ' s backs experienced a rather erratic season. Many of the pool of players were moved from position to position in an attempt to find the right combination. By the end of the season we had Steve Logie and Dave Suarez at the half-back and stand-off posi- tions. Both are talented players but really must commit themselves far more in attack and defence. Another season at this level would do a great deal for both players. Darren Earl and Ian King took up the centers and by the end of the season were looking quite reasonable. I look forward to seeing Ian playing on the wing next year. On the wings, Hafiz Damani and Steven Clarke played with tremendous spirit and determination and finally at fullback Chris Goodall. Chris is a talented athlete and a player to watch in the future. As a final point I would like to thank all of the Colt players for endur- ing the constant nagging, moaning, whining and hours of post mortem from the two coaches who live and breathe the game in the fall term. Well done on a long season! M. Hall Standing: (L-R) J. Lewis, S. Morrow, A. Morrow, M. Robinson, P. Bradley, J. Tisdale, M. Hammond, S. Sutton, T. Clare, Mr. G. Dickens. Sitting: (L-R) C. Sperber, J.

The ' B ' team ably led by Jay Bertagnolli, did not experience many wins, but the spirit with which they played the game was always encouraging. The ' A ' team was fortunate to have some good athletes. The front row of Paul Hill, Hamish Nixon, and Peter ' Good Hands ' Dry, set up a formidable scrummaging platform. The locks Xander Allison, Joel Scott, and Christian Matter, supplied a solid push and were lively, loose players.

The Team ' s success was due, to a large degree, to Tim Campbell ' s leadership. A special thanks must also go to our two coaches Mr. Felix and Mr. Leary. A job well Enjoy your future rugby and remember, be humble, hungry and hard! Mr. M. Felix 37 JUNIOR RUGBY Over all, the Juniors had an excellent season. We kept only two of our players from last year ' s team, and for most of the new-boys, the fall term marked a first exposure to rugby. Despite their inexperience, the team was in many respects strong. Selecting fifteen starters for each game often proved difficult, since, in many instances, we had two or three equally strong players for one position on the field. For example, this year ' s first- team props included Charles Smith, Jason Davies, Luigi Denardi, Nick Price, and Chris Lowdon; at flanker there were difficult choices to be made between Chal Steiger, Mark Lamont, and Alistair Nixon. On the wings, Jimmy Tin, Christian Westarp, Aaron Bewza, John Wiggins and Darren Bunnell developed nicely. Delwyn Klassen, perhaps our most con- sistent tackier, started the year at flanker but moved into the second row when Stephen Harper took ill. Both Harper and our number eight and place-kicker, Michael Dice, provided the team with much-needed lineout height as well as strength in the pack. In the backs, fly-half Shawn Pattison, full-back J.J. Collins, and centre Richard Pyke used their strong kicking skills to move the ball out of our Back Row (L-R) Mr. J. Connolly, J. Davies, D.

Because of his size and running abilities, Richard Pyke provided our main scoring punch, but good passing among the backs and strong support from the forwards set our best scor- ing efforts in motion. Bobby Dahl and Darcy Repen also played consistently and gave the line an added boost. A special thanks to the able coaching of Mr. S. No- ble and Mr. J. Connolly - a most enjoyable season. Mr. J. Connolly. 38 U15 RUGBY - SUMMER TERM The U15 rugby team captained by Tim Campbell played in the Victoria summer league once again this year. The goal for the team was to run the ball at every opportunity from every field position. We surprised every team we played with our style and we won six of the seven games we played. Our only loss (16-14) was to a Brentwood team that was at least a year older than us in every position. We won the return fixture quite handily by a score of 22-9. The team contained many players of great promise, our half-back combination of Bruce Campbell and Pat Maguire was excellent. In the centre Mike Dolman and Troy Dennison were unstoppable. The forwards were very mobile and the sight of Andrew Laing, Tim Campbell and Stephen Harper running with the ball was daunting for the opposition. The extra season of rugby will have a great effect on the basic skills of the team members and much is expected of them during the next season. J. Davies, Coach. Back Row (L-R): C. Perry, D. Kuta, A.

The truth is that a group of twelve gifted seniors blessed with hustle and determination formed a team that arrested its com- petition with some outstanding basketball. The success of the season lay in the average players per- forming better than average. Alan Campbell was a very healthy addition to the Shawnigan program. His overwhelming strength made him the team ' s top rebounder. Standing (L-R): Mr. Noble, B. Fowler, F. Chang, S. Marshall, M. Kaye, A. Campbell, C. Barker, M. Mendlemen, A. Walker, C. Cooper, F.

I would like to congratulate all the boys for their enthusiasm and patience throughout the season. We played very well in the I.S.A. Tournament, having to use many under-age players, and were led very capably by Kaldean Brown. We hosted the district Bantam tournament, and our team defensive skills were too good for the opposition. I know many will be playing for the school in their senior years, and I wish them the best of luck. D. Williams. Top Row (L to R): Mr. D. Williams, M. Schlittner, P. Maguire, S. Morrow, T.

Graeme Magee, Arash Virani and Chal Steiger shared guard duties for many of the games, but Charles Smith, Jimmy Tin and Johnny Tu worked hard at their skills and turned in some strong performances as well. Richard Pyke and Michael Dice gave the team most of its scoring punch, and the strong shooting and rebounding abilities of Stephan Harper, J.J. Collins and Bill Robertson rounded out our strong forward ranks. Although we faired poorly in the under-fifteen tournament at St. George ' s this year, the team won each of its league games and went on to win the mid-island championship. Each member of the team should be proud of his effort and commitment this year. If these players continue with basketball, our rival schools will see some very strong basketball in Shawnigan ' s future. Jay Connolly, Coach 43 XI SOCCER Unlike many other years where the team ' s efforts yield- ed no rewards, this year seemed to fall on the peak of our performance. Our season of hard work was finally crowned with the title of Independent School ' s Champion. Many of the players on this year ' s team had played together for almost four years, yet we had never won the final tournament. With this in our minds we headed into the competition. During the season the team had looked promising with many skillful and hard working players. A strong defence was lead by S. Wright, and an ag- gressive midfield led by the captain and T. Sigfstead, all we had to do was prove our dominance in the tournament. Our first game was like a number of previous tour- naments in that it ended in a shoot-out. This dreadful reality spread a nervous shiver through the team, but with a few precisely placed shots we entered the finals against Brentwood. It was in this game that the height of A. Campbell finally payed off in two outstanding headers. These, along with two other goals from Barker Lawrence sealed our fate in a 4-2 victory. With this title under our belts we now look forward to next year ' s strong team. The title could not have been ours without the able coaching of Mr. Dickens. Barnaby Wade. 47 2ND XI SOCCER The Second XI performed a useful role over the season in spirited practice games with the first XI which provided ex- cellent preparation for the latter in their successful pursuit of the Independent School ' s shield. Also the team provided an excellent reserve pool for the 1st XI with John Frankovich playing in goal for their win over S.M.U., Blane Fowler and Chris Cottrell sharing up the defence when called upon and Graham Benjafield, the 2nd XI Cap- tain, providing the critical left foot cross for the winner to be scored in a game against Brentwood. As for the seconds themselves, although they tried hard, they could not quite come up with a win. Our first game against Brentwood saw us up 1-0 through the clever goal by Top Row (L to R): B. Chan, S. Murphy, J. Hammill, H. Jamshidi, R. Snidanko, J. Goult, C. Lien, Mr. P. Jarvis. 2nd Row (L to R): M. Suarez, B. Fowler, D. Fullerton, R. Stabbert, R. Blake, S. Liu, T. McPherson.

The U15 went to St. Michael ' s playing Brentwood first. With a big win 4-2 they headed into the finals against St. Michael ' s. Both teams were evenly matched, in an excellent head to head game which, unfortunately, resulted in a 2-1 win for St. Michael ' s. Overall, this season has been an excellent one, with abundant potential to look forward to in the years to come. Many thanks to our skillful coaches Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Jarvis for an enjoyable season. Hafiz Damani (Grade 10) 49 I u The 1986 87 season, with talented and dedicated players, proved to be a highly successful and enjoyable time. We once again participated in the In- dependent Schools ' competition and faired well. Most of the competition this year was at the senior level with a team of 8 seeded players. The squash team won against Brentwood College whipping them 10-8 in matches both at home and away. Against S.M.U. down in Victoria the opposite occurred, losing decisively 10-5 in matches. Although the team did not remain the I.S.A. champions we showed alot of character by always b eing tough competitors. Competition inside the school closed the season on a high note with a large turn-out for the Greenwood Tournament, and the Inter-House Competition. Ripley ' s won the competition narrowly defeating Copeman ' s in second. The Greenwood ended with 3 time defending champion Sigfstead in the final against surprising finalist Nakamura. The match displayed some good squash with Sigfstead as the eventual winner. Standing (L-R): Mr. S. Cox, J. Wiggens, J. Cheng, C. Weinhaupl, J. Morton, A. Baycetich, P. Duchart, B. McAfee, T. Kwok.

BADMINTON Badminton flourished again and worked hard to improve their skills, the emphasis was on recreation and individual progress but we did enjoy two Friday evenings playing against Brentwood as well as an inter-group House competition. The House trophy was taken by Copeman ' s in a close fight and the groups singles trophy went to Frank Chang for. his performance in that competition. Badminton has, once again, a firm base in the School as part of the Activity Programme, and we hope that as many students as possible will join this lifetime sport next year. D. Leary. 53 SENIOR HOCKEY The 1987 Senior Hockey team had a surprisingly good record of 5-1 going into the Independent School ' s Tournament. We had beat Kerry Park twice, swept Brentwood in all of our three meetings, and lost only to St. George ' s. This year ' s tournament was hosted by St. George ' s, the 1st game saw St. George ' s narrowly edged Brentwood 4-3. We played St. George ' s immediately after. Our team played extremely well, and through great perseverance and checking managed to tie the game 4-4, with a backhand goal by Joe Kamon with just over a minute left in play. Our second game was against Brentwood and we got off to an early lead. If we beat Brentwood by more than one goal, the Gotthardt Cup would be ours, but it was not to be. Leading 5-3, with 6 minutes left in the game, tragedy struck. Greg Purcell was sandwiched by two Brentwood !l L I i i mtii !% i ■• pf- Standing (L-R) Mr. L. Fraser, M. Taylor, T. Young, G.

The delay and loss of one of our prime checkers deflated the team and Brentwood rallied to win 6-5. St. George ' s was 1st, Brentwood 2nd and Shawnigan had to set- tle for 3rd. The season should not be considered a disappointment as we did have a very young and inexperienced team. Of the 12 regular players, only 5 were grade 12 ' s and our defence, led by Tony Vlahos, consisted of 3 grade 10 ' s and a grade 9. The team played all year with incredible effort and spirit; good luck next year. Joe Kamon, (Captain) JUNIOR HOCKEY This year the Junior Hockey team lacked size and numbers, nevertheless, life goes on. After just two practices we played our first game against Brentwood and as expected we got slaughtered. But through hard work we managed to cut our goals against in the second game by one, and in the third by half, loosing a hard fought game 6-3. In our final game with great goaltending by Alex Poulios and strong defence by Cam Roberts and Tony Vlahos we managed to c ut our goals against in half again. We were all over Brentwood but couldn ' t manage to put the puck in the net, loosing our final game 3-0. Considering we had a very young team, we did exceptionally well. I ' d like to thank Mr. Fraser for coaching us through a great season.

Our own Head-of-the-Lake Regatta (6.25 km.) was the only competition held during the term, and all six Shawnigan eights showed well. Summer Term There were six local regattas held during this term, not in- cluding the Canadian Championships. Results were as follows: - Maple Bay Regatta: there was a total points trophy awarded at this competition, Shawnigan would have taken it easily. It was a fine beginning to the main regatta season. - Brentwood Regatta: Again Shawnigan showed well, placed second overall to the host club. - Opening Day Regatta: Shawnigan ' s Varsity V1I1 easily dominated the high school event at this popular competition, winning over crews from Lakeside, Overlake, Brentwood, Everett-Cascade, and Green Lake. Since the feature event was between UW ' s first boats and the USSR ' s top men ' s and women ' s university crews, the security and i«i 56 press coverage was astounding! - Seattle Youth Regatta: Shawnigan dominated this regatta in nearly every event we entered. Most memorable was undoubtedly the Varsi- ty victory in the First VIII ' s event - our first win over Brentwood in (too many) years. - B.C. Youth Championships (Elk Lake): Shawnigan won the Effi- ciency Trophy, awarded to the club which has the best overall per- formance relative to the number of members. No need to say more. - The 26th Annual Shawnigan Regatta: Once again under the able chairmanship of Mr. Grey, our regatta has grown to gigantic propor- tions. Twenty-three clubs were represented this year, with over 900 rowers competing. In the final analysis Brentwood edged Shawnigan by a mere 2 points to win the DeWitt Trophy. Canadian School Championships There were 93 clubs represented at St. Catharines this year. Shawnigan entered three events, and brought home two golds and one silver, placing 8th overall. Outstanding! In the finals the results were as follows: - Jr. heavy 4+: .s7 Shawnigan (stroke D.J. Lionas, 3 N.P. Mayes, 2 R.W. Tomlinson, 1 C.R. Henderson, cox J.J. Bertagnolli); 2nd Denis Morris; 3rd Brentwood. - Jr. 64kg 4+: 1st Shawnigan (stroke G.E. Maier, 3 D.J. Murchie, 2 «! S i m Pr-gT yjcH jL3 A pit ' ■ p T jr.  G.A.T. Bryan, 1 J.J. Kueber, cox J.J.

THE CREWS Varsity The First VIII had very close and exciting races, but had to be satisfied with second place in all but two. The 4+ fared better, trading first with Brentwood on a fairly even basis. The pair, Ken- nedy and O ' Kennedy, placed first in all of their races. Junior Varsity This crew is certainly deserving of the most improved award. The 4+ was very competitive, posting a win at the Seattle Regatta, and the 8 was barely edged to second at the Shawnigan Regatta. Scullers Our two man sculling squad of Paul Robinson and Kai Taylor did ex- tremely well. Both won a number of events in singles categories, and they drew many compliments for their fine handling of the .double in all regattas. Colts These lads were undefeated in both the 8 + and 4 + . What more can be said! Lightweights The 64 kg. 8+ and 4+ both went undefeated, and frequently the ' B ' 4+ was hot-on-the-heels of the ' A ' crew thereby giving Shawnigan an impressive one-two finish Novices The Novices, most of them juniors, scored no wins, but they show a great deal of promise. They often found themselves pitted against seniors from other schools, and it is to their credit that they gave of their best in spite of the odds. A number of these new rowers will be vying for spots on the ' 88 Colt, Ltwt., and J.V. crews. AWARDS School Colours: R.J.G. Broadbent, A. Kaul, I.S. Kennedy, M.C. Maier, K. O ' Kennedy, F.N. Tovstigo, M.B. Vopni. Michael Howrigan Award: (for the most outstanding oarsman): I.S. Kennedy. Bourne Trophy (to the individual who contributes most in time and energy for the betterment of the rowing club): J.J. Bertagnolli. Rob Dawson Trophy (to the outstanding Shawnigan sweep-oar crew at the Shawnigan Regatta): Varsity Pair (I.S. Kennedy, K. O ' Kennedy) Captain ' s Tie-pin: A sterling silver club tie-pin was presented to Ian Kennedy. His ac- complishments include being Rowing Captain for the past two years, stroke of the Varsity VIII for the past three years, and stroke of Canada ' s bronze medal 4 - at the World Championships in 1986. Ian ' s remarkable enthusiasm and drive have provided a tremendous boost to crew spirit, and his example has done much to raise the standard of excellence in Shawnigan rowing. IN CLOSING The number one requirement for success is a fit and dedicated group of athletes, but without a good coach they will not achieve their potential. We have again been very fortunate to have a committed team of coaches. Mr. Farrell has guided the Lightweights through an excellent season, capped off with a gold-medal performance in St. Catharines, and we wish him well as he moves on to further his career as a photographer. Mr. Felix ' s successes with the Colts crews speak for themselves, and it is reassuring to know he will be back again in ' 88. In the Summer Term Mr. Hall once again provided invaluable assistance by coaching the Novices; his time and effort do not often have a high profile, but without his help a great number of boys would not be able to even try rowing. Mr. Hill has coached the Varsity to its greatest success in many years and our best wishes go with him as he returns to university in Ontario. P.D. Yates 57 ■ VARSITY EIGHT + cox: T. Kaul. stroke: I.

Local track clubs did their best to provide some substitute meets and we were very grateful to them for this, but of course, it was just not the same. Fortunately, being an independent school and therefore naturally not subject to the work to rule campaign, we were all able to participate in our own Independent Schools meet, this year hosted by St. George ' s on the Vancouver College track. This meet thus became the only real focus for our season. Once again the Seniors were victorious, their 19th win in the 32 years the competition has been in existence. Pride of place must go to our Captain, Joe 62 Kamon, who won three events and anchored the winning sprint relay team. Anthony Ostler ran strongly in the middle distances, winning both the 800 m. and the 1 ,500 m. , while other double winners were David Fullerton in the long and triple-jumps, and Cam Barker in the high jump and javelin. In the throwing events, both Steven van Halst and Hoover Kan performed very well. However the most exciting event of the day was the final one, the 1,600 m. relay where David Howell-Jones, running the anchor leg, made up all but 2 feet of the 25 m. deficit he started with at the begin- ning of his leg. The under 16 age group, competed well and achieved a number of very steady performances. They were led by Kaldean Brown (middle distances), Stephen Clarke (in the jumping events), and Troels Kiel (in the throws). They 63 placed third overall of the six competing schools. The under 14 s, although small in number, were strong in ability and placed a good second in their age group. Three boys did the most damage - Michael Dice (a thrower), who set a school record in the javelin, won the shot put and plac- ed second in the triple jump and discus, Richard Pyke, who won the high and long jumps, and J.J. Collins, who ran very strongly in the sprints and in the relay. All three of these boys have great promise and should form a strong nucleus for the track team in the years to come. At the end of the season. School Colours were awarded to Joe Kamon, David Howell-Jones, Anthony Ostler, Steven van Halst and Hoover Kan. D. Hyde-Lay 65 FIELD HOCKEY 1ST XV Field Hockey this year attracted an unusually high number of players, and with this new found selection, much hidden talent became evident. With some very skilled and ex- perienced players to back these new recruits, a strong potential of hockey players was set up. Our 1st XI consisted of a number of well rounded veterans who provided a sturdy base for the up and rising rookies to fit in with. This team showed a great deal of skill throughout the season and held a close rivalry with Brent- wood. It was unfortunate however, that in the Independant School ' s Tournament the team lacked the intensity to hold the title, loosing both to Brentwood and St. George ' s. Although these results were a disappointment to us, the season was by no means un unsuccessful one. Experienced players such as T. Sigfstead, G. Friesen, and R. Martin Standing: (L-R) S. Wright, R.

At the inter-house level, heavy competition was seen be- tween a number of skilled teams. It was a very close tourna- ment which ended in a three way tie, Copeman ' s winning the Senior and Groves ' the lunior. This clearly showed how the standard of hockey was very equal in all the houses. This interest in the game has provided a good stock for next year ' s teams, which should again be full of potential.

As the season progressed, the senior team became more adept and at the I.S.A. Championship we almost ousted Brentwood from their number one position. Byron Horner deserves special mention as he dropped but o ne set in the entire competition. Certain members from the senior team also went to Nanaimo to compete in two tournaments. They represented our school very well indeed. Earlier in the year, Zac Zenith defeated Byron Horner for La Coupe De Toute Season and it looks as if they may be meeting again for the Grogan Cup final should Zac be able to vanquish Todds Sigfstead who has eliminated the fourth and fifth seeds to advance to the semi-finals.

Un- fortunately, a third date was impossible to arrange and we were not able to test ourselves against S.M.U. or St. George ' s this year. In matches against Brentwood our relatively inexperienced team did well to win one while loosing twice. The team was ably cap- tained by Piers Stronge and also consisted of Jonathan Bahl, Jeremy Gibson, Stuart Ho, Graeme Magee and Mark Schlittner. Several others also represented the school. Many of the team will still be eligible for Junior Play next season and this augurs well for Shawnigan tennis. In an inter-house competition, Ripley ' s, lead by Jonathan Bahl, won a well contested competition. Mr. Leary Standing (L-R): A. Wolliams, J. Gibson, D. Mortlock, J. Bahl, J. Hulbert, R.

DeNardi 69 SAILING Introducing Shawnigan ' s fastest and most dynamic watersport, sailing! This year the tradition continues in the light of last year ' s unquestionable successful season. This season, the team was led by captain Ian McAllister and backed up by a quick quintuplet consisting of Malcolm Hammond, J.C. Lewis, Matt Robson, myself, and uh, oh of course, Adrian Dodds! This year we put the finest fleet of sleek Laser 1 ' s and 2 ' s on the water of all the high schools in British Columbia and Western Canada. Needless to say, with an armada this strong we expected to win. The first Regatta of the year was held in Cadboro Bay at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. It was somewhat an experimental regatta, we were just realiz- ing the skill level of our team. We did well however, beating our con- tending competitors from Brentwood College by a handy margin. The next regatta was the Maple Bay first annual open invitational Laser regatta. Again we proved successful, placing in the top ten out of 46 boats in every race, with some outstanding sailing coming from Malcolm Hammond and Ian McAllister. In the midst of all these regattas, we practised three times weekly in both excellent and poor wind conditions, and despite repeated attempts by Adrian to demolish the entire fleet we made it through the season free of drownings and injuries. It might also be added at this point that our rigorous sailing program was supplemented by a number of crazed days when the wind blew over 30 knots and a majority of the team could be found breaking the sound barrier, shortboarding and wavejumping on the frothy lake despite the small craft warning. Keeping with the tradition of last year when Brentwood came to compete on the Lake in the Indepen- dent Schools Championship, we sent them back once again defeated. Finally, we rounded off a triumphant and enjoyable season this year with a victory over Brentwood in the twenty-fourth annual Roger ' s cup regatta. For the second year in a row, we clobbered the competition and by the sec- ond day, we were ahead by an incredible one hundred and ten points, which is an insurmountable lead and sound victory in sailing. Special thanks go to our veteran coach, Mr. Grass, and to Mr. Sarsfield, who joined us this year full of helpful advice on how to sail the Great Lakes and related water-bodies. This year we strengthened our foothold on both salt and fresh British Columbian waters; next year ' s team, half of which has already earned it ' s colours, hopes to be expanding it ' s horizons to regattas in the United States. So good luck and bon Voyage to next year ' s team. Simon Game. Standing: (L-R) Mr. R. Grass, S. Game, A. Dodds, C. Lowden, Mr. J Sarsfield. Seated: (L-R) J. Lewis, M. Hammond, I.

An unusually mild winter made it possible for Mr. Ander- son, Mark Graham and I to shoot consistently from September to June. When the days became shorter and ear- ly evenings made it difficult to shoot out of doors we used the Cowichan Community Centre ' s indoor facilities and entered a national indoor mail match in company with other archers of the Cowichan Bowmen. Mark was with us for the first two terms, after which cricket in the summer term drew him away. Mr. Anderson and I returned to the outdoor field course during the whole of the summer term. This consisted of some challenging shooting. Fifteen targets spread over several acres. Shooting uphill and downhill at targets ranging from 6 to 60 metres with every distance in between. Needless to say, like the field course itself our own shooting varied just as widely - from good to dismal! However, all in all a most successful and enjoyable year with the bow. Paul Bradley 72 CYCLING Cycling has grown and developed as a sport at Shawnigan. The quality of riders has improved over the years, one ex- ample of this is that Shawnigan won the annual Tour du Lac race around the Lake, which we hosted for over 50 High School Competitions. Luca Segato ' s (from Belmont), fast pace during the race led to record times. Segato broke his record by over one minute, his best time now stands at 31 minutes and 34 seconds. The top Shawnigan time was achieved by Jeff Nielsen, a time of 31 minutes and 54 seconds with the second time at 31 minutes and 58 seconds by Barnaby Wade. The inter-house standings from the race were: first Copeman ' s, then followed by: Lonsdale ' s Ripley ' s Wmm Standing (L-R): P. Yeh, C. Lamont, J. Nielsen, S. Tarfif, C. Weinhaupl, Mr. M.

Jeff Nielsen. 73 GOLF This year ' s group was the most promising that we have had in recent years. Some of the Juniors have great potential and if they are prepared to put in the necessary practice they could, and should, do very well. There were two divisions in the Individual Match Play Championship. In the Junior Division the two seeded players, Darcy Repen and Michael Johnston, met in the final over 18 holes. This match was closely contested but Michael was generally in the lead, sometimes by as much as 3 holes. and was a worthy winner by 2 and 1 . In the Senior Division, the finalists predictably were Darren Gregson and Clive Henshaw who have dominated the Gold scene in recent years. Clive was seeded No. 1 but Darren, who has the priceless ability to score well when not playing particularly well, is always hard to beat. They parred the first 2 difficult holes but Clive lost the next 4 and although he got back to 2 down after 15, Darren deservedly won on the 16th green and retained the Goody Trophy which he has now won for the past 4 years. The Inter-House Competition was noteworthy for an outstanding 9 holes by Clive Henshaw. The weakness in his game is chipping but on this occa- sion he solved the problem by hitting all the greens in regulation, including the par 5 in 2 strokes. He is to be congratulated on his 25 points (3 points for a par) which is a school record. Both Darren and Clive richly deserved School Colours. W.H.H. McClelland KIWEEK This year ' s ski week, at Manning Park, was met with exceptional enthusiasm by the students and staff. We all left the school on February 8, packed into six charter buses. When we got there, everyone unpacked and settled in, ready for the next day ' s skiing. After more than a half hour wait in the rental shop, excited students made straight for the chair lifts. That first day ' s skiing conditions were very good. The next day, the snow was icy in the morning, but the sun came out and skiing was good. There were many tired legs that night! The rest of the week the conditions were similar. This year ' s carnival was a considerable success. The snow sculptures were well designed and constructed, with the winner being Lake ' s House, for the second year in a row. Afterwards, there were sugar pies for everybody and relay races. On all the other nights, classes of students went to seminars. The topics of these were C.P.R., hosted by Sgt. Earl; Motivation, hosted by Brian Powell; Aids, by Dr. Barclay; Safety, by Judge Porter, and a staff panel, by the members of the teaching staff. On the racing scene, the cross-country race was won by iSigel Mayes (51 min.), the senior downhill slalom by Paul Robinson (42 sec), the junior slalom by Cam Robert (44.81 sec). Many thanks to Mr. Grey, all the staff who helped out, the students, and to Manning Park. Everything was perfect except on the last night, when thieves stole a number of expensive items from three of the staff cars. Aaron Bewza 77 s c u B A For the first time in a number of years a SCUBA pro- gramme was organized in the second and third terms. 20 boys successfully completed the P. A. D.I. open- water course, and we look forward to planning dives and further courses next year. Nick Fairbank C RICKET RETURNS TO SHAWNIGAN After a hiatus of fourteen years, cricket returned to the Shawnigan scene this year, albeit as part of the activities pro- gramme. The generators of interest in the sport have been Mr. Dickens and Mr. Jarvis who are both active members of the local Cowichan Cricket Club. The activity met twice a week with some sessions taking place on the outdoor cricket at Cowichan Club grounds on Elford Road while during incle- ment weather indoor cricket was played in the gymnasium. A solid core of 12-15 boys attended the activity faithfully with another 10 or so coming on a drop-in basis. The boys enjoyed the activity and some of them, like Mark Graham, Blane Fowler, Stewart Wright, Barnaby Wade, David Fullerton, Richard Pyke, Steve Quinn and Arash Virani could develop into talented cricketers if they persevere with this sport which demands so much patience and concentration. The prize in this activity went to the ever-ebullient and talented Blane Fowler for a high level of involvement and enthusiasm. P.J. Jarvis Glenn O. Dickens 79 s WIMMING 4 80 Main gardens o UTREACH 86 87 Outreach was an activity dedicated to serving the community of Shawnigan Lake. Its main goals were to help the old, give aid to the sick, and to entertain the youth. Angus Walker, Al Campbell, Cam Barker, Joel Scott, and John Krotez made weekly visits to the Acacia Lodge Old Folks ' Home. They set up picnics, dances, and visits to the school ' s chapel ser- vices. It was a rewarding experience for both the boys and the senior citizens. Another facet of the activity was to raise funds for Rick Hansen by collecting bottles and newspapers. Steve Quinn readily accepted his tasks of acquiring and storing them. Hoover Kan was a leader in the clan of Beavers which met each week in the school gym. He taught the youngsters many new skills and games with enthusiasm. The activity also allowed the time for some boys to be Big Brothers; Steven VanHalst filled this role well. The coordinator of Outreach 86 87 was Mr. McCracken. He spent many hours organizing and scheduling the numerous events which the activity participated in making it extremely successful. J. Krotez BEAVERS Through the Outreach 86 87 activity this year, I was chosen to take part as a Beaver Leader in the local Shawnigan community. Basically, Beavers are a group of 4-6 year old children who have come together to learn and play. After a two month period of training, I was officially confirmed as a Beaver Leader and was awarded with the title ' Bear ' . Following my ap- pointment, I have been part of many of their meetings including field trips to the Police Sta- tion, Fire Station, camp fires, treasure hunts and many other activities. Unfortunately, my career as a Beaver Leader ended as my graduation came along. But throughout this period, I have gained a lot in learning how to communicate with children and I hope my role as a Beaver Leader can be followed by someone else next year. Hoover Kan. DRINKING DRIVING COUNTERATTACK c OUNTER-ATTACK On the 23rd of April, a mock accident was organized by Colin Scott as a part of his Law Course. The project was intended to show the effects of mixing drinking and driving. The accident was staged at the school gates and involved a number of students as victims, as well, the presence of the Ambulance, Fire Depart- ment, Police and towing company. To record the event, the news depart- ments of Channel 3, and Cowichan News were on hand. The accident was followed by a short seminar for the school, at which time issues dealing with young people and their driving habits were raised. Colin Scott c LASSROOM CANDIDS I Hr ' ;fl , n8 Sk JfTA ' a ' %j ■ 1 1 c AREERS DAY On Friday, May 22nd, the School was fortunate to experience Careers Day ' 87. This event will take place every two years and its focus is to give up-to-date career information to our Grade 10-12 students. We were privileged to hear many outstanding speakers representing a fairly wide cross-section of fields. Further- more, the Old Boys of the School comprised the vast majority of the presenters thus proving to the boys the illustrious possibilities towards which Shawnigan can lead. The list of speakers was as follows: - Keynote Speech How to Land the Big One by Pat O ' Callaghan (R 1965) now of Caldwell Partners, the leading executive search company in Canada. - Law - Brian McDaniel (La 1966) - Dentistry - Dr. Ash Varma (G 1975) - Entrepreneurship - Regan Trethewey (La 1965), David Fitzpatrick (friend of Paul Baylis) - Police - Sgt. Al Hickman (La 1964) - Accountancy - Michael Ell (New bursar at S.L.S.) - Medicine - Dr. John Barclay (R 1966) - Pilot - Capt. A . Harvey (S.L.S. parent), Rob Hearn (C 1976) - Stockbroking - Russ Quinn (G 1966) - Marketing Public Relations - Peter Roaf (R 1967) - Engineering - Jochen Boehm (La 1976) - Computers - Ron Fretwell (R 1975) - Design - David Watson (S.L.S. Governor) The School owes a great favour to all these gentlemen for taking the time to lend their experience and their expertise to, in many cases, their school. P.J. Jarvis. Re ACH FOR THE TOP, 1987 A revival of the Academic Quiz formerly seen on CBC took place this year and we were fortunate to have Mr. McCracken act as regional coordinator. We had enough interest for two teams, a Junior and Senior team. Two full-scale tournaments were held at the school complete with tours and dinner. We hosted five schools from Victoria, who ventured over the Malahat. The work to rule campaign in the public schools put an end to the competition just as we were about to hold the championship round. We hope that Reach For The Top will continue in September and we wish the future school team well.

C HESS BRIDGE This spring term brought the instigation of the activity Chess Bridge. Most students preferred Chess but several keen boys learned the basics of Bridge as well. Next year, if enough in- terest is shown, competitions will be held with other schools. S. Candelaria 86 G RADE 8 EXPEDITION On Thursday. Island. September 4, the Grade 8 Expedition left for Gabriola After arriving, we set up our tents and had a brisk run and swim. Mr. Noble took us on a nature walk and we inspected biological life at low tide. Afterwards, we had a particularly appetizing dinner. On Friday we went for another run and swim. The weather was still beautiful. Breakfast was palatable. Mr. Rolston then had each boy map an area one metre square and sketch an object in that area. Activities then led us into a well-earned supper. After supper we played kick the can until dark. Some songs were sung and then bed and sleep were in order. The next morning was calm, cool, without a cloud in the sky. A third run and swim kept most of us quiet during breakfast. We left around one o ' clock and returned to school without any incidents occurring. On the most part this was a very enjoyable weekend for the boys, including myself. Delwyn Klassen 87 During the first third terms the senior group met on Fridays and the junior groups on Mon- days. The emphasis was on white-water kayaking, but we also learned some basic techniques of climbing, survival campcraft, cross-country skiing, and canoeing. As usual the year began with the Grade 8 trip to Gabriola Island. Several senior boys gave up the last few days of their holidays to help with this 3-day trip whose intention is to give the new grade eights a chance to get to know each other before the formal beginning of the school year. The following weekend trips took place throughout the three terms: September 20-2 1 Surf Kayak Championships at Long beach October 4-6 Marble Meadows hike October 19 Cowichan River kayak run October 25 Cowichan River kayak run January 18 Day hike, Mt. Finlayson February 10-11 Cross-country ski trip, Manning Park April 4-5 French Immersion camp at Rathtrevor Park May 10 Cowichan River kayak run May 23-24 Cowichan River Foopath hike May 30-June 1 Portland Island canoe trip June 7 Surf Kayaking at River Jordan In the second term we spent much of the time indoors maintaining the boats and equipment, and several boys made their own fibreglass boats. Rhys Martin, Jan Morton, and Ian McAllister built kayaks and Marc Knight built his own 16 foot canoe. Thanks are due especially to Mr. Fernandez, Rhys Martin, Ian Kennedy Paul Robinson for their help in the running of the programme this year. Nick Fairbank . ' O UTDOORS CLUB 88 J v ' Spi ■■ I i ll if  0 B i . l - 1 i , Rifle CLUB This year the rifle range was another great suc- cess, 35 bronze, 16 silver and 8 golds were earn- ed. Again, the attendance was very high, 828 to be exact, making riflery one of the most popular ac- tivities in the school. The range went through a small face-lift inside. During Earth Day S. Montague and myself spent the day dusting and removing old junk that had accumulated throughout the 50 years since the range was built. Mr. Anderson painted the backstop black with gold numbers, following an abortive attempt by yours truly to paint it fluores- cent orange. We received a donation of three new rifles: an Anschutz, a Winchester 75 and a Walther. This generous donation was given by Mr. Regan Trethewey, who is a Governor and a Lake ' s old boy. We are looking for an even more successful year in 1987-88. John Kiss Grade 11 90 YEARBOOK PHOTO CONTEST WINNERS 91 The junior photography group thrived again this year thanks to the superbly equipped facilities, the inspiration of Mr. Rick Farrell who joined Mr. Lane as instructor, and of course to the enthusiasm of the students. Late last year the club was blessed with some sophisticated new plumb- ing, including multiple temperature-controlled water outlets, and beautiful cabinets, a gift of the Koechl family. We then purchased several new Beseler enlargers so that the club now boasts 7 of these fine machines. Mr. Rick Farrell, with a diploma in photography, was a breath of fresh air in the club. His youthful enthusiasm encouraged one and all to pro- duce a wide variety of captivating prints. Particular mention should be made of the excellent work of Charles Smith and Nigel Mayes. Charles ' painstaking attention to detail was exemplary, and his large prints of the gardens by night, and of the multiple images of the hand- held pistol will serve as a permanent record of the standards which can be achieved by a novice grade 8 photographer. Nigel, who only joined the club at Christmas time, soon established his prowess by earning an award at the Cowichan Valley Arts Festival in February! (So, too, did Mr. Farrell.) Nigel ' s bulging portfolio belies the quiet unassuming at- titude he demonstrated during club sessions. He produced outstanding images of scenery, beautiful portraits and candid shots of friends, and first-rate special effects prints such as time-exposures of star trails, and close-up pictures of reflections in bubbles! It was only fitting that Nigel should earn his Junior Photo prize. With a strong nucleus of very able photographers we look forward to next year ' s programme. We will miss Rick ' s presence in the club greatly, but wish him all the best as he pursues his career in London, Ontario. Keep in touch, Rick! Stephen Lane. 92 A small number of boys continue to take advantage of the music programme which is at present entirely outside the academic curriculum. Under the supervision of Mr. J. Maclver a rock band was formed and they successfully performed for a dance with Q.M.S. in May. Several boys received private in- struction on guitar, clarinet, piano drums. The string players worked under the direction of Miss Shelagh MacFarlane in the first term, and performed at a concert in November. They also played incidental music for the plays at Christmas. On May 22 Graham Webber, Spencer Liu, Paul Yeh Frank Chang performed for the Lake Cowichan Musical Society. A recital was held in the chapel on June 9th featuring many of the school ' s talented instrumentalists. A new venture this year was the Shawnigan Chorale - a 14-voice vocal ensember composed of staff boys. This group first performed in November when we hosted Q.M.S. in a joint concert. Their final performance was held on May 28, and featured an eclectric collection of songs spanning 5 centuries. It has been a great advantage this year to have had a new grand piano in the northwest wing of the main building where a number of old dormitories are being used as practice rooms. We hope to have this area as a fully fur- nished Music Centre in the near future.

It was decided that, as we had good leads, the foundation was there for a great show. Yet one question remained, would it be worth it? From the beginning, the omens did not look good. Our undaunted director J.S. Grey was wrought with fear in November over whether or not we would have enough young ladies to start rehearsing. Luckily we had sufficient members by December to fill all of the roles. The show got off to a flying start. We returned to school in January with high hopes and expectations. It is true that some of the major scenes needed some work, but we had 3 Vi months before opening night and im- provement was assured. Then tragedy struck - our leading lady was in- volved in a car collision on the way back from S.L.S. to her school, resulting in a serious neck injury. When, soon after, Shawnigan was blanketed with a heavy layer of snow, Mr. Grey was involved in yet another automobile accident just metres from the village. But such is the dedication of this man that little could keep him under convalescence and away from the school for very long. Dur- ing this time, rehearsals were taken by a team of 3, Mr. J. Sarsfield, Mr. N. Fairbank, and A. Ostler. Mr. Grey ' s absence was cause for some concern, yet calmer heads prevailed and when he returned to the director ' s chair the cast knew all was well. At last March turned to April and cast and crew were eagerly anticipating opening night. The end result was three nights of enjoyment for the capacity crowds and the personal satisfaction that we could pull-off our ' dearest ' professional production. Although it was too quick in its ending, many memories will never be forgotten. The answer, therefore, is yes!, it was worth it. In closing, I would like to thank many peo- ple for their contributions in making My Fair Lady a success. Mr. Nick Fairbank, for his way with a conductor ' s baton, and orchestra; Mr. Marius Felix and his slave stage crew; Madammes McCracken and Cox for, once again, top notch costum- ing; lighting with Paul Robinson and his crew; set painting and design by Mr. Mrs. Rolston; the enthusiastic chorus, without them there would be no show; Mrs. J. Bodkin for her help as choreographer; and the leads, Paul Duchart (Col. Pickering); Graham Webber, (Alfred P. Doolittle); Tim Campbell, (Freddy Eynsford- Hill); Mrs. G. Cain, (Mrs. Pearce); and Mrs. R. Frowd, (Mrs. Eynsford-Hill); and last but not least Mr. Joe Grey. Their successes are due in no small part because of his motiva- tional skills and maximizing the talents of those he works with on a continual basis. Thank you.

Was it the peer pressure, or was I just envious about something I had never ex- perienced? I was curious, curious like something was crawling around inside me, waiting to jump out. My muscles were pumped and were readily anticipating the pun- ishment that they were about to receive. I carefully sat down in the sleek piece of Spanish mahogony and realized everything was just as I had imagined it. Everything seem- ed to fit. After completing my first and quite successful rowing season, I have come to the conclusion that in the immortal words of George Polock, Rowing is a symphony of move- ment. Xander Allison THE EXILE A wanderer, I ' ve known, An exile far from home, Wept as he made his way, Alone, in this new land. Now, everybody had deserted him, Even our Almighty had deserted him, There was everything he wanted, Because there was nothing he possessed. Stuart Ho WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, 1986 It finally happened. The event that we had taken for granted for so long, had finally happened. For almost one hour, time stood still. ICBMs rained down on every major city in Britain, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany, and most importantly, the United States of America. It had everyone terrified and con- fused, especially the President. High above, NEACP-2 (Nuclear Emergency Airborne Command Post-2) circled the White House. The President, stunned, looked at the half of the Washington Monument that still stood. Fifteen miles away he saw the dead residen- tial area. Indeed, that missile had had, The White House written on it. But thanks to Superior Russian missiles, the metal goliath had failed to hit the mark. But what had him most hyped was the riot that had made its way from the residential area to the White House. In amazement, he watched as mass hysteria took a grip on the crowd. Senior Citizens, adults, teens, and even children, tried to force open the White House gate. On the other side of the gate, secret-servicemen were spraying the crowd with automatic gun-fire, adding more pain to the people already being crushed between the gate and the on-rushing crowd. Even Red Cross volunteers were being slaugh- tered by the hatred-blind people they were trying to treat. The President grimly bit his lip, thinking of what the land of the free, home of the brave would be like after this finished. My God, he muttered, what have we done. Stephen Harper. Spencer Liu, Grade 10 THE TWO PATHS It was dark that night, and I had trouble trying to walk. It didn ' t seem to matter much because of the burden laid upon my shoulders. I was to deliver a message to the King, and if it didn ' t get there before morning the day after next, my mission would have been to no avail. I stumbled i n the darkness, and fell into a pit. I clambered out when I finally had my wits about me, but it was already morning. I was to be leagues away from there at this time. I began to hurry. I came to a branch in the trail, and had little time to contemplate what had happened. I knew the area well, and did not know how I had gotten there. I saw nothing that I recognized, but I was determined to deliver my message. I made my decision quickly. I saw that the way that I had chosen led to a ravine. I knew then how far off my target I was. I was afraid that my message would not be delivered on time, if at all. Then strength surged through my body, and made the decision for me: I would cross the ravine, and deliver the message, no matter what the odds.

I was about halfway across when I felt the bridge start to sway dangerously. I had failed to check the stabili- ty of the swayback. I felt the frying of the ropes, and I knew that doom was fast ap- proaching, unless I did something. I did. I ran. That was what saved my life. I had leaped over the final board on the crossing, just as I heard the ropes break and turned to see how close to death I had come. Even as I turned, the bridge fell into the I looked around and realized where I was. I was at the edge of the King ' s realm, and that shortcut had saved me a great deal of time. I hurried on to the keep, and arrived just as they were swinging the gates shut. I had delivered the message and my mission had been a success. Another very busy year in the workshop! Perhaps one of the more interesting projects is the storage chest made out of oak by Stephen Harvey. He went to a great deal of trou- ble to construct the shelf inside the chest in a grid fashion from strips of one-half inch oak. This type of shelf is usual- ly made from a piece of plywood, and Steve spent much time to perfect his work. The boat builders Greg Stirzaker and Malcolm Hammond have not been able to complete their boats this year although Malcolm has made a fair amount of progress with his. Clocks continue to be ex- tremely popular and over one hundred have been taken home to grace the walls of the fortunte recipients. Greg Purcell has been busily engaged in some very fine wood turning. The lid that he made is rather unique and com- pliments the exceptionally well made bowl that resembles the seldom seen biscuit barrels. Hafiz Damani has almost finished the rocking horse that he is making for some very fortunate child. Alex Poulios has barely had a chance to breathe between projects either for his family or Lonsdale ' s house. It is surprising how the housemaster can find pro- jects for the house once he discovers that there is a talented boy around, and Lonsdale ' s have indeed been very for- tunate this year. He has made a very fine clock for the house along with numerous other items. Graeme Magee has made an attractive table from Ash and Luigi Denardi has made a number of items, not the least of which is a very good looking and unique paper towel rack. Ray Carr V V SONERAI AIRCRAFT CONSTRUCTION Much work has been done on the aircraft again this year. We anticipated that it would be either finished or close to comple- tion this school year, however, it was not so. John Kiss has worked diligently on the canopy framework and the locking mechanism that is available from either inside or outside the cockpit. This part of the structure is almost ready for the plexiglass canopy and the surrounding aluminum skirt Tom Tetrault and Ryan Snidanko have almost completed preparation of the right wing spar for the installation of th rivets in the main spar web, and the cap strips that provide the strength to the wing. Stuart Wright has been busily engaged making the various parts required for the operation of the rud- der pedals and the brake levers. Kai Taylor has been responsi- ble for the installation of the tail feathers and the turtle deck, and Ben Gibson has been engaged in various tasks which in- clude the installation of the bell-pan members that protect the pilot and passenger from below. We had a visit from the local T.V. station in Duncan who spent some time preparing a fif- teen minute tape that was aired each day for a week. This prompted several enquiries regarding further possible future aircraft construction projects. DRAFTING This has proven to be a popular choice once again for the grade 1 1 and 12 students, with four students completing the Architectural Drafting course and eight students opting for the grade eleven Mechanical Drawing programme. Unfortunately we lost our Victor computer half-way through the school year due to a problem with the mother board. This is under repair and will be back in operation in September.

' From that point on the Lonsdales champions of 1985-86 went downhill somewhat. While having some great athletic stars in Cam Barker, Stu Wright, Blane Fowler and new boy, Alan Campbell, the strength in depth was not there, particularly in the juniors. Despite this fact, trophies were still won in Tennis, Field Hockey and Soccer. The grade twelves had a strong feeling for the house; however, the strength lay in individuals. Next year ' s group is far more unified and under the leadership of Blane Fowler, Head of House, and Barnaby Wade as Copeman ' s first Head of School for eight years, then there should be definite improvements. As well as many good news boys in the house last year, most of whom are returning, we had the fine addition of Mr. Felix as an assistant in the house. His energy and com- mitment were excellent attributes brought to the house and his helpfulness was exemplified at the end of the year by our using his lake-front property for the house party. Finally, this year, I say goodbye to Copeman ' s after five enjoyable, productive, and sometimes heart-breaking, years. I shall miss the energy of Copeman ' s House and feel confident that my successor, Mr. Noble, inherits a house with a great deal of potential. I wish him well in the future and I am sure he will find the post stimulating. P.J. Jarvis, Housemaster 121 GROVES ' HOUSE Back Row (L-R): C. Westarp, P. Steiger, C. Lowden, D. Zybutz, N. Price, M.

Groves ' achieved mostly first and second finishes. The academic ability of the men of Groves ' was apparent as they were able to win the prestigious Academic Shield. Groves ' had the pleasure of hosting a New Zealand ex- change student. Matt Burke. Chris Goodall was later chosen to travel to Matt ' s school for the yearly exchange. A major accomplishment this year was the Groves ' R R project. All members of the house helped level the land and lay sods in the vacant lot behind the house. A basketball court and a covered barbecue shelter were also constructed. Grass ' arrival to Shawnigan. Groves ' definitely had an un- fair advantage over the other houses because of the addition of this young lady. The excellent year could not have been achieved without the tremendous sense of house spirit and genuine deter- mination which every member generated. The house con- stantly received rewards for their fine achievements. Groves ' often enjoyed treats such as ice cream and cookies, compliments of Mr. Mrs. McCracken.

The house, under the leadership of Steven ' SPUD ' vanHalst, has completed a very successful year, and its sights are set on an even higher finish next year. We also moved up from fifth to second place in the ' Academic Shield ' and captured the senior inter-house golf, junior soc- cer and junior field hockey trophies. A house barbecue, kindly donated by Mr. Mrs. Steve Assu, has been constructed at the side of the house. The Phoenix has also been constructed at the side of the house; an oak carving of the house emblem by the local craftsman Jim McCulloch was unveiled at our annual ' Lonsdale ' s Day ' . The carving was paid for from the proceeds of the in- famous ' J.D. ' shave-off at ski week. Throughout the Fall term we were fortunate to have an exchange student from New Zealand in the house.

In addition to having the live-in assistance of Mr. Farrell, Ripley ' s was lucky in having Mr. Lane, Mr. Fairbank, and an ex- cellent group of grade twelves to be our role models. As well as having three School Prefects, we had, for the fourth year in a row, the Head of School, Garth Friesen. Ripley ' s started the 1986-87 school year at a verit able gallop, winning the Round-the-Lake relay. Ripley ' s started in first, thanks to Todds and soon moved into second. With five legs to go, Ripley ' s powered it on catching Copeman ' s with the final burst by Michael Vopni, thus, stripping Copeman ' s of their trophy for the first time in an eternity. In every inter-house event we gave it our all, and with the ever-effervescent spirit of Mr. Brian Powell pervading, it is a wonder that we lost anything at all. We showed our colours in the inter- house cross-country, proving once again the mighty prowess of each Ripley ' s individual. As Ripley ' s moved to the slopes of Manning Park, we had great success, placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in cross-country skiing and win- ning Sr. Downhill. The juniors, though under-estimated, won their share of events and showed their mettle. Ripley ' s played a vital role in ' My Fair Lady ' , the in- credible play directed by Joe Grey. The people in the house played key positions, Graham Webber, Garth Friesen and many more. Rick Nigel took many brilliant pictures that now decorate our fine house. Graham Webber, the pianist, received the Stag Award for his excellence in music. Ian, our Head of House, earned the Stag Award for rowing and Garth also won a Stag Award for his excellent all-round contribution to the School. In academics the intellectual seniors were dominant, with somewhat less-devastating results in the junior section. This year was another smashing success for Ripley ' s Day, with almost all of the parents and many friends showing up. Another highlight of the year was the ac- quisition of Lee and Rip, our Feline mascots. Our house also had barbecues each Sunday in the summer term, often with the gracious company of Q.M.S. guests. It was truly a whole-house spirit that allowed us our suc- cesses this year, and I thank our assiduous housemaster, Mr. Grey, as he is our fearless leader and the key to all our victories.

His friendly, jovial nature has always been uplifting. Rick ' s enthusiasm and expertise aided numerous boys in the Photography Club this year. As well, the entire school enjoyed Rick ' s closing day slide and tape show of Shawnigan, A Year To Remember. Ripley ' s House and the rowers will miss Rick as he spent many hours working with these boys. I know that I, as well, will miss him for he has been very valuable in supplying the yearbook with his excellent photos. We all wish you the best in the future. Don Rolston. JEFF HILL Jeff came to Shawnigan two years ago and immediately set to work establishing himself as an able advisor, good coach and witty teacher. Jeff was attached to Groves ' House and it quickly became ap- parent that his relationship with the boys was going to be a strong one built upon mutual respect and fun. It is fitting that Jeffs last official act at Shawnigan will be to accompany the crews on the rowing tour this year to England. He has had a strong influence in rowing and he knows that his coaching will be missed. The Shawnigan community wishes Jeff well as he heads for the University of Western Ontario to complete his education degree. I am confident that this will not be the last we see or hear of Jeff Hill. W.J. McCracken. JAMES MACIVER Originally from Williams Lake, Mr. Maclver studied music at U.Vic., graduating in 1986 with a degree in performance. He had spent several summers whilst at university playing in the Band of the Ceremonial Guard at the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. At Shawnigan, he helped with the instrumental music programme, tutored mathematics, and did duties in Lake ' s House. A keen squash player, he also helped to coach that sport in the second term. He is returning to U.Vic, this fall to complete a two-year education programme, but we hope he will find time to visit, perhaps to play a game of squash, and to play in the orchestra for the next musical. We wish him all the best as he pursues his further career. N. Fairbank. HEAD BOYS SPEECH TO THE GRAD CLASS Throughout our years at Shawnigan, we have heard our English teachers talk about something known as the circularity of life. In grade eight, those words scared me, but now I final- ly understand what they mean. We progress through educational cycles: we start in grade eight as unsure boys and finish in twelve as mature young men. In those five years, attitudes have been shaped and characters have been molded. We have established qualities here that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Now, in grade twelve, just after we have become Big Men on Campus , we have to start all over again in a new cycle - be it university or the workforce; it ' s back to square one. However, at the end of grade twelve, after a dozen years of formal schooling, I think it ' s time to look back over the years to see what we have learned and discovered, particularly at Shawnigan. If you were to ask a Grad the one thing that he learned at Shawnigan, it would not be a physics formula or the correct way to execute a rugby tackle, he would probably say that he learned how to, (or how not to) get along with people. Shawnigan forces an individual to associate with people that he normally wouldn ' t be seen with: the athletes can ' t separate themselves, nor can the academics. This school forces us to deal with each other, not avoid each other. This naturally causes tension and often results in a conflict where harsh words are exchange - and that ' s when Shawnigan is beneficial. You can ' t just run home to your parents and forget about the whole ordeal because you know that you are going to en- counter that person later in the day. So what does this teach us? Firstly, it teaches us to see both sides of an issue, and second- ly, it teaches us not to lose our heads so quickly. Another quality that is learned at Shawnigan is the ability to take advantage of the opportunities presented before us. I need not go into an indepth list of activities or sports that a student can take, but I would rather just put forth a question: how many of us would have participated in these activities and sports had we not been at Shawnigan? Would Steven van Halst have joined a local Parish in Surrey as a Sacristan? Would Ian Kennedy have rowed his way to many Canadian Champion- ships? Or would Michael Wild have joined a Drama Club? I think we all know the answers to these questions, as a result, we leave school a step ahead as what F. Scott Fitz gerald calls the most unlimited of all specialists - well rounded men. We will leave the School today for the last time with different memories both good and bad. We are about to enter a new cy- cle and a new range of opportunities. We are starting at the bottom again, but after applying what we learned here at school, we will eventually be on top. Grad time is a time of mixed feelings and emotions: pleasure in completing school, fear of the unknown, and I imagine of bit of loneliness. Our best friends are here and we will soon have to say goodbye. Nevertheless, years from now, when we are all busy in our careers, let ' s stop occasionally to remember the good friends; the good times, and the tough times, and then let ' s remember how fortunate we were.
