Because this was my first year as editor, I was faced with the challenges of organiz- ing and leading the yearbook committee. Working with only one other experienced student, the first term started slow with the progressive learning of the new year- book workers. But, it was made up by the fast paced quality work put in during the last two terms. Working under a tighter budget we were restricted to a minimum of special effects and designs. However, through the prac- tical skills of this year ' s Stag staff, we managed to produce one of the best year- books Shawnigan ever had. Many thanks are given to Majid Jam- shidi, who has supported the Stag staff for a number of years. Special thanks to Mr. Rolston to whom I resorted for dif- ficult problems and advice, and could not have completed the book without. Thanks to Mrs. Rolston who was really needed during the last term. We were very grateful for the snacks she brought us that helped us get by. Regardless of our small size, this year has definitely been successful especially when our positive attitude and hard work pulled through during the last term. W.A.

At Brentwood, he finished his high school years, the last noticeable year as a Head of House. From there he went to U. Vic. and eventually transferred to U.B.C. where he finished his B.Ed. He comes to us from Col- lingwood School where he was a physical education instructor and a coach of swimming, field hockey and volleyball. Here at Shawnigan Lake he is a math instructor as well as a coach of volleyball and rowing. Excited to be at the school, he hopes to have a long, productive and happy career here. He would like to impress upon the students the attitudes of hard work, cooperative work, fairness, understanding and self respect. During his spare time, Mr. Morgan enjoys reading, theatre, music and volleyball. His favourite competitive sport is the triathalon which he has just recently com- peted in the Hawaiian Iron Man Race. Coming from such a disciplined man, it is easy to understand him saying in order to achieve anyth ing, you gotta wanna . Shawnigan wishes Mr. Morgan a happy career here and we hope his goals will be fulfilled. ■ |7 1 m ml ► up 1 1 For the first time in 20 years, Shawnigan has a new chaplain. Succeeding, but never replacing, The Reverend Canon Horace McClelland who retired earlier this year, is The Reverend Gordon Payne. Mr. Payne, 43, moved from Win- nipeg in August with his wife and three children. Mr. Payne was born in Winnipeg in 1944. In 1968 he received his Bachelor of Science degree from Bemidji State University, in Bemidji, Minnesota. In 1971 he received a Master of Education degree from the same university. Earlier this year he also received a Master of Divinity degree from St. John ' s College at the University of Manitoba. From 1968-80 and 1984-85, Mr. Payne was a teacher, then coordinator and eventually Vice Principal for the St. James Assiniboia School Division in Winnipeg. He was also a Physical Education Consultant seconded to Manitoba ' s Department of Education from 1980 to 1983. In 1984 he was named Physical Education Teacher of the Year by the Manitoba Physical Education Teachers ' Association. On June 24, The Right Reverend Walter Heath Jones, Bishop of Rupert ' s Land, ordained Mr. Payne to the Diaconate. Mr. Payne says: I have come to Shawnigan full of hope and anticipation. I ' m eager to serve boys who come here from all parts of the world. Community for me has all sorts of connotations, but foremost will be sharing God ' s love with students, staff and their families in whatever context we should meet. His goals are to encourage greater participa- tion within the services of worship, provide opportunities for education and dialogue within the community, introduce liturgies of a more c ontemporary nature and develop a ser- vice of worship which reflects the lives of those who make up the Shawnigan community. MEDICAL STAFF MMMNMHBMM Mary Hyde-lay The Medical Staff The medical department in any boarding school plays an important role. Here at Shawnigan we have two registered nurses. Thus 24 hour coverage is given everyday of the school year. The school medical staff consists of: W. Douglas McCauley B.A.M.D. - physician. Eugene W. Shahariw D.M.D. - dentist. Rolf Maijer D.D.S. - orthodontist. Mary M. Hyde-Lay R.N. - head nurse. L. Beth Hall R.N. - assistant nurse. Mrs. Hall and I are very grateful for the assistance and sup- port given by our medical team, their associates and staff. The Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan is fully equip- ped and accredited and covers virtually all specialty areas. Steven Quinn - son of Russell Quinn, who was an Old Boy of 1964, was the last boy to be admitted to our old Sick Bay, which is now being converted into part of the new girls residence. In September the new Sick Bay will be located in the upper level of old Ripley ' s House. The students will appreciate the view of the Kaye Gardens . It has been a busy year, but the general health of the students has been good. M. Hyde-Lay Dr. E.W. Shahariw Dr. R. Maijer ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF KITCHEN STAFF :. LAUNDRY HOUSEKEEPING STAFF i m MAINTENANCE GARDENING CHAPEL AND CONFIRMATION God has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not in virtue of our works, but in virtue of his own purpose and the grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus ages ago. ' ' 2 Timothy 1 :9 •v Chapel has been a time in which students, staff and com- munity have had an opportunity to gather, to participate, to reflect on their lives and to search for the meaning and purpose of being together to worship almighty God. Boys from all over the world come to Shawnigan many faiths and traditions are represented. The task is to em- brace all with God ' s love at some point and place within the context of our Chapel Program. Our Music Director, Mr. N. Fairbank has contributed to the worship services, sharing of his many gifts in both contemporary and traditional music. The Chapel Program has been enhanced by the participa- tion and sharing of staff members in the Services and by the visits we have had from friends of Shawnigan. Both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Bishops have graced us with their presence as did many of the clergy from the Diocese. For me as Chaplain this has been a wonderful year, one full of blessings. I know that God has called me to be here at this time and I give thanks every day for the privilege of ministering to his people here at Shawnigan Lake School. As God has called and saved us I know without a doubt that he will continue to minister to us in wonder- ful ways through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit here at Shawnigan Lake School and always.

From such a team effort it is difficult to single out players for special mention but there is no doubt that Peter Hinton, our New Zealand exchange student, added that little bit extra to the side. Just before term started we entered the S.M.U. International Rugby Festival in Victoria and got the season off to a good start by winning all four of our games. Our Independent Schools fixtures were all excellent matches and had we not given up a penalty in the very last minute of play in our home fixture with S.M.U. , we would have become Independent Schools ' champions. The team is going on tour in the sum- mer to New Zealand and Australia and should do well. 20 We had high expectations for the 1 st XV this season and they were fulfilled - almost. Twelve wins against two losses is a good record. Stuart Wright (scrum-half) was an excellent captain, both on and off the field, and he led a fine supporting cast. The backs were neat and skillful and strong defensively, but as a unit were not incisive enough in their running. Here we really missed the services of Canada Junior player, Andrew Murphy, who, due to a knee injury, hardly played at all. The for- wards developed into a good pack, excel- ling in the loose where John Krotez and Alan Campbell were outstanding. Those two, with Tom McPherson never far behind, gave us the best back row we have had for many years. Perhaps the main in- gredient to the teams success was in their togetherness . They all supported one another really well, backs and forwards alike, and were all good tacklers and strong defenders. They were quick to take advan- tage of opponents errors, mistakes usual- mm 2nd XV Era The 2nd XV were not a very strong team as their record shows, but were capable every now and again of playing really well. The forwards were a workmanlike lot, but behind the scrum things did not always g o smoothly despite the good intentions of each on the backs. All was not gloom and doom and there were many bright moments, and we saved our best efforts against our old rivals - Brentwood. Top Row: (L-R) Mr. D. Hyde-Lay, I. King, D. Earl, R. Swinton, N.

An- choring this group were Seniors Pat De Witt. Geordie Bryan, Guy Porter, and Charles Henderson. They led many pro- mising forwards, who will help the School in the future, like Marc Synenko, Corbin Blume, David Murchie and John Kueber. The back field had many difficulties on defence, yet did play some exciting ball. Many halfback combinations were tried and Pat Maguire, Steve Logie, Chris Sperber, and David Suarez will help the School next year. The team had its best games at the end of the season with a tie at Brent- wood and a close game at S.M.U. 23 4th XV LJJ - . .. v ui I I t; Top Row: (L-R) Mr. D. Williams, G. Stirzaker, C. Blume, T.

Forwards were never dominated and Spencer Liu, John Kiss, and Mitch Johnston helped the team with their strong loose play. John Walton led the team to a very close loss against Brent- wood and a much deserved win over St. Georges. Con- tributions of Hafiz Damani, Frank Chang, and Toby Clare helped to improve the performance of newcomers Osung Park, Colin Lemecha, Brian Lahiffe, and Mark Tomp- kins. All in all, a good season. Well done. 24 5th XV r W The 5th XV had a very good season. After a series of games with Brentwood, they came up with players that played on the 2nd XV or 3rd XV as well as ending with a winning season. If the 5th XV continue to get the games, under the watchful eye of Mr. Connolly, the senior rugby program will continue to improve. Congratulations to all players for a successful year.

The Colt ' s A continued their winning ways, losing only one Indepen- dent school ' s match. The Colt ' s B turned in a number of very fine performances, winning more than their share of contests, and the Colt ' s C , coached by Mr. Sarsfield, accounted very well of themselves, particularly in the nar- row victory over S.M.U. This year ' s Colt ' s A team, under Andrew Laing ' s cap- taincy, was in the fortunate position of having a number of talented and experienced players. As well, four of our new boys, Colin Creuzot, Grant Bell, Charlie Kryvenchuk and Doug de la Nuez earned starting positions and more than adequately met the demands of their respective positions. Joel Scott and Christian Matter provided the necessary depth in the forwards and Xander Allison ' s versatility helped fill in the occasional gap in the backs . The backbone of all suc- cessful teams is the tight five. Paul Hill and Colin Creuzot were very solid and steady props and Hamish Nixon ' s hook- ing was consistent. We were never quite settled in the sec- Top Row: (L-R) Mr. M. Fernandez, C. Creuzot, X. Allison, G. Bell, D. de la Nuez, J. Scott, R. Pyke, C. Kinderchuck, C. Matter, S. Quinn, Mr. M.

Higano ond row but those concerned, Doug de la Nuez, Xander Allison, Christian Matter, and Joel Scott accounted well of themselves. Cam Roberts had an outstanding season at number 8 and the two flankers Tim Campbell and Andrew Laing were a menace to most opposition. In the backs Tomo Akiyama provided steady service to Steven Quinn who directed the backline movements extreme- ly well for a first year fly-half. Troy Dennison is a very ex- citing and skillful inside-centre who played extremely well throughout the season. Outside Troy was Mike Dolman a very strong running center. On the wings were two newcomers Grant Bell and Charlie Kryvenchuk. Grant was very steady under the high ball and a deceptive runner, while Charlie was a speedster when the spirit moved him. Richard Pyke, playing up a level, made a tremendous amount of pro- gress often showing signs of brilliance. Richard will most certainly be a force in the years to come. Naturally having a winning season makes coaching a more rewarding ex- perience and this year is no exception. I look forward to watching the progress of all of this years Colt ' s players in the seasons to come. Congratulations to Cam Roberts, Col- in Creuzot, Tim Campbell, Troy Dennison, Andrew Laing and Richard Pyke for their selection to the Junior Indepen- dent School ' s team. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Sarsfield and Mr. Fernandez for their time, expertise, and their enthusiasm. Good luck to all you players in your senior years. M.R. Hall 27 As in most years, the Colt C ' s started the year slowly and the outlook wasn ' t very bright. As the team practiced and worked together, things began to take shape. With a loss to start the season, though, no one thought that things could get better. We suddenly began to get as a team and realized that we had the potential to steadily climb uphill. Our powerful front row consisted of Bart Straw and Bran- don Swan with Michael Miskulin booking. Great improve- ment was shown on the parts of Ian Gee, Saeid Jamshidi and Stuart Ho, who soon began to work as a team. We also had hard working players like Richard Amery, Stephen Whitehead and Wade Bruntjen, who always gave 100% in all aspects of the support. A late arrival to our team, Scott Shaver, was a very powerful addition for us. Of course, we couldn ' t have done anything without the help of our coach, Mr. Sarsfield! Well Done!

Tu The season began with many new faces of eager new Grade 9 students, many of whom has never heard of rugby football let alone played it. But after a great deal of hard work, tough training and skill acquisition the B squad was able to manage a 3 win 3 loss record. They were able to reverse an early defeat to Brentwood by 20 points to 6 into a come from behind victory at home of 12 points The scrum became a potent unit (after the ex- pert help of Mr. Davies on the scrum machine) with two fine hookers in Charles Smith and Mike Johnson. We had two ex- cellent line-out men in Ryan Mallory and James Payne who won a great deal of ball in the line-out and developed into fine runners. In the backs Jimmy Tin was fearless as was Mark La- mont at scrum-half who gave tireless efforts. Finally our Captain, Graeme Magee, controlled things well tactical- ly from fly-half and showed excellent kicking skills. Con- gratulations on a great season of improvement by everyone! P.J.

Edwards Ten years from now, we will look back on this season of Junior Rugby, and a smile will appear on our faces why? Not because we lost all our Independent School games, or had a small number of boys (21) to choose from. Certainly not because we lost Sam Price, a good athlete and player, who broke his leg early in the season. The smile will appear because we will remember this crowd of boys for their enthusiasm for the game. Never did they complain if they lost. Not once did they backdown from in- variably larger opponents. In every game the lads played, compliments were extend- ed to them about their tremendous desire, commitment, sportsmanship and tenacious tackling. This may not be the most talented crowd of rugby players, but watch them! From them will emerge some players who will be the pride of the school. And smiles will appear again on our faces. Good luck boys in your future rugby. M.C. Felix P.D. Yates 30 SUMMER LEAGUE Back Row (L-R) Mr. D. Williams, G. Burgess, A. Nixon, A. Laing, S. Harper, D. de la Nuez, R. Pyke, C. Kryvenchuk, A.

Davies The game plan was to run the ball at all times and many outstanding tries were scored as a result of this. The superior shape allowed our mobile forwards to win loose ball that enabled the wings to score most of the tries. Many players demonstrated great im- provement which bodes well for the future. Colin Creuzot, Doug de la Nuez and Ed Steidl were new to the game this year and played better every time out. Even though there were many changes to the backline, strong performances came from Richard Pyke, Chris Goodall, Troy Dennison and newcomer Charles Kryvenchuk. Captained by Tim Campbell, the team was an extremely dedicated group that was well deserving of its 6 win 2 loss record. Playing teams much larger than themselves, including senior teams from Alberta and Washington, the open style of play was exciting for players and for spectators. Congratulations go to all players on an entertaining summer season! D. Williams J. Davies 31 32 4 VfVfii A tgHif Standing (L-R) C. Lemecha, J. Jones, J. Bahl, K. Brown, S. Smith, Mr. J. Con- nolly Seated (L-R) A. Walker, M. Mendelman, C. Barker, C. Cooper, M. Grandin The senior basketball team had a difficult time of it this season. We had several talented players — including Cam Barker, who provided most of our scoring punch, Chris Cooper, Angus Walker and Mike Mendelman — but we had more than a lit- tle difficulty getting the ball through the hoop. Our division was tough this year — stack- ed with tall, talented, bench-strong teams — and we did not manage to win a single league game. It is to the credit of the boys, however, that the members of this team continued to practice hard and to play even harder, and it is important to note that we gave some of the strongest teams in our division a run for their money in late- season games. 34 35 BASKETBALL Undefeated in league play, with a nine win and three loss record overall, this was a successful season. Cap- tain Tim Campbell led the players through workouts and games with the I.S.A. Tournament as the goal. The level of play improved steadily; however, sometimes the pressure in key games caused problems. Tim Campbell, Richard Pyke and Mike Dice made a formidable trio in the key, and Scott Shaver and Ed Steidl attacked and defended the outside. Further strength was added up front by Charles Kryvenchuk, Wade Bruntjen and Bill Robertson with Graeme Magee and Faizal Sunderji supporting the back court. Doing an excellent job going both ways were Richard Pyke and Salim Gillani. A few of the players will be moving up to the senior team next year but the majority will return for another shot at the I.S.A. trophy. With one year ' s experience and the added maturity, it should be another strong year for the school in the mid-island league and in the In- dependent Schools. I congratulate all the players on their strong efforts, dedication and success this season and I wish all luck in future games. D. Williams Coach JUNIOR BASKETBALL REPORT The improvement in the skill level of this junior basketball squad was most noticeable as the season progressed. Although beginning with a number of losses, the margins of defeat decreased as the levels of skill improved and with it the confidence. Once we had achieved our first victory, albeit by the nar- rowest of margins, we ended up by winning three of our final five games - a satisfying achievement when measured against our prospects before the season began. A lot of credit must go to Charles Smith, the Cap- tain, for his example and great keenness and desire to improve. He was an untiring worker as was Daren Kuta, our only tallish player who was our centre. Jimmy Tin, the best ball handler and shooter, was also a valuable asset. These three were well backed up by the other members of the team, most notably Darcy Repen, Simon Edwards and Raymond Cheung. Thus a season that had begun as a bit of a disaster, ended up quite well.

Secondly, the team provided the firsts with solid competition during inter-squad practice games. Pro- mising players for the future first XI include David Teague, Chris Sperber and Mauricio Suarez. Finally, the team was able to win its final game of the season against Brentwood. We went down there full of determination and played a fine game winning 1-0 through a superb free- kick by David Teague. The team was led superbly by Cap- tain Blane Fowler.

In the early days of practice, the gym seem- ed filled with a confusion of bodies and volleyballs going in every direction. Never- theless, the improvement of skills ac- celerated at a phenomonal rate, due to the enthusiasm and effort of the players. With the confidence and skills improving, numerous games were filled with exciting rallies. Shawnigan can be proud of the team ' s efforts. It takes time to construct a programme from scratch; however, if the spirit displayed by this inaugural team is any indication Shawnigan will do well in the future. I offer my hearty thanks to all who participated. Joe Morgan 42 The 1988 Squash season saw Mr. Cox showing Mr. Candelaria the ropes. In competition, Brentwood defeated us throughout the season yet we saw them soundly whip every other team at the ISA Championships as well. St. Michael ' s University edged us out of 2nd place but we triumph- ed over St. George ' s. M. Nakamura maintained the number one position throughout the season and second position was held by T. Kwok and H. Nakamura alternatively. In the Juniors S. Ho and C. Charnock alternatively held the number one position. Inter-house competition saw some very tight matches. M. Nakamura, who received School Colours for all his efforts, led Ripley ' s House to victory. Congratulations to all members of the sport on a fine season. 44 Standing (L-R) J. (L-R) Mr. D.

Over 40 students tried out for an elite team, group of 14, who played and practiced throughout the first two terms. The standout of play was high and Shawnigan came through to be a close runner-up in the Independent Schools ' Championship, as well as beating Brentwood in exhibition play. The team consisted of Frank Chang, Scott Bun- nell, John Yeh (all who received School Colours for their service to the sport), Mike Nakamura, Alex Lam and Raymond Cheung. Several of the players also participated in tournaments in Nanaimo and Port Alberni. Next year Alex Lam will be Captain of Badminton and we look forward to several talented athletes moving up to replace our graduating players. We also look forward to our first chance to enter a mixed team in B.C. High School play. Standing (L-R) C. Blume, S. Clarke, G. Bell, C. Goodall, W. Bruntjen, C. Roberts, M. Ross, Z. Zenith, C.

The team had recorded its second best season in four years with a 5 and 2 win, loss record. This was possible with the addition of some key players, and also with the return of players such as Steven Clarke, Chris Cockcroft, Zach Zenith, Tony Vlahos, Michael Taylor and Corbin Blume. With these additional and return- ing players our team progressed to a very competitive level over the course of the season. 46 JR HOCKEY Standing (L-R) A. Poulios, T. Akiyama, T. Steele, C.

Deederly Another reason for our continued success during the season, was the teams ability to score goals and also the high level of goaltending we received from A lex Poulios and Brock Jackson, who together managed to hold the op- position to only 5 goals per game. Although we had a great season, our luck changed when the tournament came along. In the two games we played, we only managed to score a total of five goals whereas we had twelve scored against us leaving beloved Brentwood to go on to win the tournament. Saint George ' s finished second, while Shawnigan would finish third for the second season in a row. All in all this season was a very good year for S.L.S. hockey. The Most Valuable Player trophy was, for the first time, shared between three players; Miles Grandin, Tony Vlahos and Grant Bell. I, on behalf of the team would like to thank Mr. Lew Fraser for a job well done, and also on behalf of the departing players I wish luck to the future teams of Shawnigan Lake School. 47 ROWING 1987-88 Shawnigan ' s crews showed strongly in the early season, with both the Varsity and the Colt VIII ' s posting victories at our own Head-of-the-Lake, and with the Varsity winning again a week later on the 1800 meter Elk Lake course. Perhaps we could have done without the Easter holidays, though, because our crews were consistently second and third in virtually every regatta of the summer term. The ex- ception was the Varsity 2X of Rolfe Swinton and Steve Godwin, who developed momentum along the way and were able to win their event at the 29th Annual Shawnigan Regatta. Lightweights Coached by Mr. Morgan, this group comprised mainly novices and so they had to set their goals accordingly. There was good leadership from Chris Wilkins, Ian Prit- chard, and Paul Crooks. Nick Smith, only in his Grade 8 year, came on very well and shows good promise in this sport. Colts The Colt ' A ' VIII was again coached by Mr. Felix, and the ' B ' crew by Mr. Hall. The A ' s had a number of set- backs during the season, and never quite put things together to go as quickly as they had hoped. Nonetheless, they have some very promising rowers among their ranks (C. Roberts, J. Scott, C. Matter, S. Bowes, D. Zybutz, P. Hill), and S. Pattison and J. Payne will provide a fine foundation on which to build for 1989. The Colt B group was mainly novice, and they improved steadily throughout the season. Scullers This group was coached by Ian Kennedy during the sum- mer term. Rolfe Swinton and Steve Godwin showed well, especially when one considers how much of their training was self-directed. Varsity and J. V. These two eights (four fours?) enjoyed a good season 48 but, as mentioned earlier, were only able to manage vic- tories in the first regattas. One setback was the unfortunate demise of the Tavistock, the J.V. shell which was demolished by an angry windstorm at the Elk Lake Spring Regatta; without this boat the crews were forced to share equipment, and could not enjoy the regular competition of working out side by side. The Regattas The Head-of-the-Lake drew 350-plus competitors. The weather was magnificent — sunshine and flat calm — and everyone enjoyed themselves. The 29th Annual Shawnigan Regatta, under the very able direction of Mr. Grey, continues to grow. There were 1 ,350 competitors taking part this year, and we had to adopt a two-day format in order to fit in all the races. A special vote of thanks goes to Mr. Grey for putting on what must be one of the finest regattas anywhere. Awards The Dawson Trophy, presented to the most successful sweep oar crew, went to the Varsity 4+ of J. Ber- tagnolli, D. Lionas, D. Murchie, S. Halliday and F. Rose. The Bourne Trophy, Rowing ' s citizenship cup, was presented to Jay Bertagnolli for the second year in a row. The Michael Howrigan Trophy for the most outstanding oarsman went to David Lionas, stroke of this year ' s Var- sity 8 + , 4 + , and 2-. Stewart Halliday, this year ' s captain of rowing, was made an honorary life member of SLSRC. He was presented with the traditional sterling pin. Stewart has been a good captain and a relentless competitor; as this report goes to press, he has been selected and is training to represent Canada at the World Championships in Milan, Italy, in August of ' 88.

Ell Seated (L-R) J. Hulbert, M. Meheriuk, J. Kiss, P. Yeh, S. Montague This year, as in the Winter Olympics, Shawnigan introduc- ed Curling as a sport. Under the direction of Mr. Ell and with the as- sistance of Mrs. Magee and Mrs. Crealy about 18 boys ventured to the local curling club to learn the game. At first four, con- sisting of Greg Reid, Paul Yeh, Mark Meheriuk, and John Kiss was selected to play against St. Michael ' s at their facility. The first time we lost 11-1, but were able to close the gap to 3-1 on the rematch. Next year hopefully the team can start in the first term so that it may be possible to enter a team in the Provincial Championships. 54 This year ' s team was not a strong one, although, as is always the case in Track Field, there were some good individual perfor- mances, chief amongst which was Mike Dice ' s new school record throw of 52 m 26 in the Javelin. The Sprint Relay team (Takao Kitagawa, Scott Bunnell, David Stipec and David Payne) Mike Dice (discus) and Takao Kitagawa (triple jump) all qualified for and competed in the B.C. High School Championships, but none made the finals. These competitors, along with Stan Hotte, our hard working Captain, Frank Chang and Steven Clarke, formed the backbone of the team. Steven Clarke also qualified in the high jump for the B.C. Championships but due to a mix-up in the schedule (which was not his fault in any way), was unable to compete. A pity as he had shown by his consistency at the 1 m 80 level that he was ready for the big time . Fortunately, he has another year of eligibility. Standing (L-R) Mr. G. Payne, J. Kiss, D. Stipec, K.

FIELD HOCKEY This year ' s Field Hockey programme had an unusually large number of interested players to select the 1st XI from, consequently, we were blessed with some very skilled players. With an offense spear-headed with such players as John Turk, Daniel Rowbotham, Barnaby Wade, Mike Taylor, the team experienced some unusual flare. The defensive qualities of the team were also strong with the mainstay of the defense coming from Blane Fowler and Stewart Wright. With this as our 1 squad for the Independent School ' s Tournament we managed a three way tie with St. Georges and Brent- wood. This was an expected outcome and the team members were pleased with the season. Over the period of a season, the Junior Field Hockey It- Standing (L-R) H. Damani, M. Walker, D. Rowbotham, T.

After a slow start with us playing more experienced teams we grew into a very respectable team with great defense by Mike Ross in net and Brock Jackson, we were in nearly every game. Through the hard work of Steven Whitehead, Bill Robertson, Troy Dennison and Corbin Blume we had a pretty good offense. I think we played alot better than our record showed and quite often we would outplay the opposition and still lose, but the best thing all season was that none got frustrated and gave up, we always fought until the end.

Championships, tennis was introduced as a life-skill activi- ty and Mrs. Davies along with Mr. Noble joined Mr. Cox, Mr. Leary and Mr. Candelaria as instructors thereby put- ting the tennis courts into full use six days a week! Miles Lawrence, the Captain of tennis, and the entire senior team performed very well and had there been an award for the most improved player award, Cam Barker would have been the recipient. Highlights included the senior team wat- ching themselves on video-tape, receiving a top-notch ten- nis clinic from Kathy Fox, a level III instructor of the N.C.C.P. of Canada, and several boys attending tour- naments held in Nanaimo. In school competition, Mauricio Suarez defeated Cam Barker in the final of the Grogan Cup Singles Competition whereas earlier in the year Zac Zenith won La Coupe de Toute Saison. In inter-house competition Mauricio also was undefeated in singles though Copeman ' s House won the trophy with Alan Campbell and Barnaby Wade going unbeaten in all their doubles matches. It has been a pleasure to work with these fine athletes. S.S. Candelaria 60 JR. TENNIS The junior team had one of the most successful seasons on record, coming first equal on points with St. George ' s in the Junior I.S.A. Championship. Unfortunately, we were later judged to be second by the narrowest of margins using the procedure for breaking ties. In the tournament, Captain Piers Stronge and Stuart Ho took the Individual Doubles title, and were ably supported by Jeremy Gibson, Jonathan Bahl, Graeme Magee and Craig Charnock. Others who represented the School this year were Mark Sanders, David Dropulic and David Jones. Finally, we were delighted to have Mrs. Cerris Davies join the Coaching Staff this year and hope to see her again in 1989. D. Leary Standing (L-R) J. Tin, D. Jones, D. Dropulic, D. Repen, B. Dhaul.

This regatta consisted of two separate series of races, one at Shawnigan and one at Brent- wood. After the first day of racing, we were comfortably in the lead, and before the end of the second we were clearly the winners. The next regatta was the Independent School Regatta at Brentwood. This regatta consists of teams from Brentwood, Shawnigan, St. Georges, and St. Michaels; however, St. Michaels has traditionally pulled out at the last minute and this year was no ex- ception to the tradition. Again, the mighty Shawnigan crew was vic- torious! The next regatta was the inter-house competition. The powerful Groves team came m.£ ISM out on top. The final and largest regatta of the season was the Maple Bay Regatta hosted by the Maple Bay Yacht Club. This regatta was an individual regatta where everyone sailed for themselves. In this regatta Matthew Robson came third and Malcolm Hammond came first. This season Windsurfing, headed up by Jason Lewis, was in- clud ed as a part of the sport. The windsurfers worked on basic wind- surfing skills. A couple of the hard cores were out on the lake on Nuclear Wednesday, June 1st, when there was a double blow up, one on the lake and one in the panic ridden Master ' s Common Room. We are looking forward to an equally successful year in 1988-89! Malcolm Hammond 63 m + This year ' s golf programme was a hugh suc- cess with 15 boys being selected to take part. All practice rounds and matches took place at the very nice 18-hole Cowichan Golf and Country Club. All of the boys who participated enjoyed their play and everyone improved as the season progressed. The high- lights of this year ' s match play competition, the Goody Cup, took place in the semi-finals with upsets on both sides of the draw. Favorite and team captain, Chris Grafton, was defeated by Grant Bell and second seed Ian Gee was beaten by the much improved Marc Knight. Grant then went on to defeat Marc in the final in a close contest which saw them tied after 11 holes of play. Inter-house golf was also a closely contested affair with ex- cellent scores being recorded regardless of the steady rain. Ripley ' s finished first lead by Brian Kindrachuk and Groves ' was close behind bolstered by a fine score from Mike Johnston. Lonsdale ' s finished third behind Chris Grafton ' s leadership with Lake ' s and Copeman ' s not far behind. Chris Grafton was a fine captain and all the boys are to be congratulated on a successful season. Golf Coach Lew Fraser CYCLING The Cycling Program this year had a slow start because initially there were only three members. However, as the season got rolling we were flooded with eager new cyclists. There was a total of eight boys who participated this year. Thus began the training for the 1 1th annual Tour du Lac. This turned out to be one of the largest races in the Tour ' s history. Luca Segato, a three time winner of the Tour, did not race this year due to the fact that he was at the World Championships. At the last moment Colin Peters, of Stelly ' s High School, won the 1988 Tour just shy of breaking Segato ' s record of 32:33. Shawnigan ' s first rider across the line was Barnaby Wade with a time of 33 minutes and 45 seconds. Followed close behind by Simon Smith with a time of 35 minutes flat. Shawnigan placed, as a team, 6th out of 18. The inter-house standings from the race were; Copeman ' s first, and followed by; Lonsdale ' s, Groves ' Lake ' s and Ripley ' s. I would like to thank all those that helped with the Tour. Especially, I would like to thank Mr. Fernandez for pushing us that extra mile, and I hope in the future he manages to stop falling off his bike. Simon Smith 65 ft I I E S w u a Archery has always been a small group limited in size by the number a car can carry to the target range and field course of the Cowichan Bowmen near Duncan. On the other hand our group has made up in enthusiasm and dedication what was lacking in numbers. Archery can be carried on in any kind of weather but for the last two years exceptionally mild and dry winters have allowed us to shoot regularly under pleasant conditions. This year Jeffrey Harris was a begin- ner who made excellent progress with fine form and the potential to become a good archer. Paul Bradley made a commendable showing in the first tournament he entered, the Queen Vic- toria Day shoot in May at Victoria. G.L. Anderson 68 LE VOYAGE D ' IMMERSION Au mois de mai, 25 ebudiants de onzieme sont alles faire un voyage d ' immersion francaise. La destination etait le pare Pro- vincial de Rathtrevor a Parksville et le but etait de parler francais pendant 24 heures. Le groupe etait accompagne de quatre professeurs qui avaient prepare tontes sortes d ' activites — par exemple, le baseball, le volleyball, la petanque une chasse a tresor et une competition d ' orientation. On a fait aussi des chan- sons et des sketchs comiques. Le soir, on est alles manger au restaurant francais ' Ma maison ' qui nous a prepare un repar delicieux. Le voyage a eu un tres grand succes et tous les etudiants ont bien pro- fite de 1 ' experience. 70 SCIENCE TOUR ' 88 Every two years the senior science students participate in a tour of sites of scientific interest in the Pacific Northwest. This tour involved 38 students from the physics, chemistry and computer science classes. On Wednesday, April 27th, the tour began at the TRIUMF cyclotron at U. B.C. Students were given a two hour walkabout through Canada ' s national meson facili- ty, which has provided world science with many benefits including significant experiments in particle, nuclear, and condensed matter physics as well as knowledge about the strong force between nucleons. We left U.B.C. for Washington State and spent the night in Bell- ingham where students welcomed the chance to have an early night in spacious, comfortable and quiet accom- modation (Motel 6 ' s are well known for these qualities). Thursday began much like any other day but we were all concerned when one of the tour party had to make a short visit to a local hospital with a cut on his head from slipping in the shower. The agenda today involved a tour of the Boeing 747 767 assembly facility which might best be described as an incredibly large, essentially hollow building. The main assembly building is 11 stories tall, covers 62 acres and, by volume, is THE largest building in the world. It can hold as many as 16, 747 767 jetliners at one time. Think about that. The doors (4 sets of them) are the size of a rugby field! After a quick stop for lunch, we were off to see the Olympia Brewery. Suggestions to the brewery staff concerning a donation of just 2 seconds of production to the grad festivities or the chance to sample the different brews all met with little support. Friday morning we tried to get into McChord Airforce Base and spent a considerable time trying to convince the guards we were not terrorists in disguise. Fortunate- ly, allowed to visit the 318th Fighter Squadron and tour through NORAD Headquarters. No cameras were per- mitted and guards with mean looking guns and signs that read ' Use of Deadly Force Authorized ' told us we pro- bably had better not step out of line. In the middle of our tour there was a flurry of activity as an ' unknown ' flight line had been spotted on the screens. All returned to nor- mal after a couple of minutes but military people were a little perturbed for that time; we left the base feeling the Pacific Northwest was secure. Our next stop was the Salmon Bay steel smelter. This place was noisy, dirty, hot, and wet - a great contrast to the squeaky clean we had seen so far. For many, this was a real highlight of the tour: watching cars with engines getting crunched up into fist sized pieces, getting right inside the plant next to cauldrons of molten iron and standing 2 metres away from completed castings that still gave off tremendous heat were some of the sights we were able to see. Saturday morning we left for the Pacific Science Center and viewed two IMAX filsm: Water and The Dream is Alive . Once more into the bus for our flight to familiar skies and comfortable beds. We felt the trip was a success; a chance to see many interesting and practical applications of the scientific theories we learn in class. 71 GRADE 8 EXPEDITION m Once again this year the Grade Eights spent three days cam- ping on Gabriola Island prior to the term ' s beginning. We had good weather except the last day, and there was lots of opportunity to make new friends and learn about the school in a relaxed atmosphere. Everybody had a chance to do some canoeing with Mr. Fernandez, orienteering with Mr. Rolston, learn some camping skills from Mr. Morgan, or climb on the ropes course with Mr. Fairbank. In addition the students had an opportunity to observe the tidal life and do some drawing and writing. Each morning Mr. Morgan took the group on a run while breakfast was being prepared - on Coleman stoves as the weather was so dry and fires were not permitted. In the evenings after a game of capture the flag or kick the can we gathered around the kitchen area and sang songs and told stories as the hot chocolate was heated up. Many thanks to Jeff Nielsen, Shawn Pattison, Darren Earl, Albi De Nardi, Steve Clarke and Dave Lionas who gave up the last few days of their summer holiday to help out with the trip. 72 REWARD PROJECT The Reward is a forty metre schooner currently being constructed as a British Columbia tall ship . The hull is being finished in North Vancouver and other parts of the ship are being build in various parts of B.C. Shawnigan Lake School has become involved in this project promoted by the Canadian Mariner ' s Ship Society. There are several unique aspects to the construction of this ship. It is being built totally by donation, both of money and materials. The ship is to be used for technical trades training, and will be adaptable to a variety of purposes through the use of modules which will be easily replaceable depending on the particular activity the ship is involved in; for in- stance, if the mission is photographic, a complete photographic module including dark room and equipment can quickly be set in place or the deck in the space provided. We at the School are involved in finishing out the wheel-house, doing some elec- trical installation, and making small items such as belaying pins. J.C. Sarsfield 5 73 Once again cricket was an activity in the sum- mer term. Some new students were introduc- ed to the game while others like Blane Fowler and Stuart Wright built upon their skills and were able to help the local Cowichan Cricket Club in a couple of games. Some of the Ac- tivity sessions took place in the gym where the rudiments of the game were taught. After these skills were learnt we interchanged our sessions between the local cricket club ' s ground and our own top fields. Promising new players in the group were Miles Gran- din, Grant Bell and the Greek Connection of Tony Vlahos and George Hamplas. Many enjoyable games were played over the season and Mr. Dickens and myself enjoyed watch- ing the development of the students. We were faced with a difficult choice for the Activity prize and eventually chose Grant Bell for his all-round spirited contribution to the activity. Coaches: Mr. Jarvis Mr. Dickens CRICKET 74 75 OUTDOORS CLUB In the first and third terms we met on Monday and Friday after- noons to learn skills. Many students who were not formally in the activity also joined us for some of the weekend trips. The highlights this year were: - Kayaking on the Cowichan River - Canoeing in the Gulf Islands - Hiking on Empress Mountain - SCUBA diving trips - Camping at the Koksilah River - Hiking the Cowichan River Trail Nick Fairbank OUTDOORS CLUB 77 PHOTO CLUB Apart from gaining further experience in the taking and processing of pictures many of the members of the Club earned well-deserved recognition for their works in public exhibitions and shows: Nigel Mayes, Barnaby Wade, Dave Suarez, Mike Walker, and David Fraser were among those who exhibited and won awards at the Shawnigan Flower Show, the Cowichan Festival of the Arts, and a Gallery Show at the Cowichan Community Centre. Stirling Ward, an Old Boy (S.L.S. 1965-69) and now a very successful commercial and graphic artist in Vancouver, held a workshop for the Club in his studio in Vancouver and our visit to the Department of Photography at Langara College was an equally enriching experience. A major Club project for Seniors and Juniors was A Day in the Life of Shawnigan Lake School . Inspired by an idea by Mr. Peter Hulbert, hun- dreds of pictures were taken capturing School Life dur- ing a 24-hour period in mid-May. From this collection the best were chosen and mounted as a permanent display which was first shown on Speech Day and which we hope will be available for publicity purposes in the future. As usual, hundreds of Team and House pictures were taken by Photo Club Nigel Mayes, Barnaby Wade, and Darcy Repen were the principals involved. Nigel Mayes ' ■-;■■,■ wn ' m won the Best Photographer Award not only for his outstanding work as a photographer but also for the help and inspiration which he provided for all the students in- volved in photography. Jens Gotthardt 78 RIFLE CLUB This year saw two major changes in the Rifle Club. In the first place a limit of 30 was placed on membership. In the past attempting to accommodate all-comers has meant denying the better rifle shots time to maintain the high standards necessary to win Senior awards. As a result attendance overall has been slightly down com- pared to previous years (402 attendances). Even so the range has used over 12,000 rounds of ammunition. their Silver and 10 their Gold. Because more senior marksmen were able to shoot regularly a great number of senior awards were won. (10 Prone Crests and 2 Kneeling Crests). Outstanding performances were turned in especially by Darren Bunnell, Otto Roehlig, Ian Pritchard and Wade Bruntjen. The second change in the Rifle Club this year was mark- ed by a change in our affiliation from the IVI Pro- gramme based on Montreal to the new Recreational Target Shooting Programme with headquarters in Vanier, Ontario. This caused some dislocation for those boys who were already in the middle of earning an award. Nevertheless, 10 boys earned their Bronze, 11 Ripley ' s won both the Senior and Junior inter-house trophies and Steven Montague from the same house won the George Fraser Memorial Trophy for the highest score in the inter-house competition. This was the third consecutive year that he has won it. G.L. Anderson 79 w o R K WOOD For reasons unknown, lock boxes were the most popular item at the beginning of the year. It ap- peared that every boy was involved in the making of at least one. Once that chore was completed we settled down to construct more realistic projects. Malcolm Hammond worked furiously on his very large wooden power boat which will require many more hours of devotion before the launching date. He was also involved with Jason Lewis in the design and construction of a wind surfer board. The bug is contagious, Mark Synenko also has one under construction! Alex Poulios continues to build all manner of furniture for Lonsdale ' s House, plus several items for himself. At present he is engrossed in making some spiral candlesticks. A delicate project that appears to be progressing satisfactorily. 80 Bart Straw has completed a very fine gun cabinet from B.C. pine that has been very challenging for a first project. Clocks have again been popular, particularly for the one-project builder. They make a welcome gift and are easy to make. Wine racks have been the choice of some of the juniors and some interesting designs have developed. They ' say 7 that they are gifts for parents! The woodturning lathes are very popular, with bowls being the favorite item being turned. However, the baseball bat has also proven to be in demand. Grant Bell was responsible for this item; his model was exceptionally well made. Skate boards and snow boards were also favorites. Over 150 different students have participated in the activity this year, an indication that the hands- on experience is still an important element of life at Shawnigan. 81 We had a busy class this year, consisting of both Grade 11 and 12 students; the majority of which appear to be heading for Engineering, or Architecture. The AutoCAD was put into service and was a popular com- puter programme. The drawings produced this year are of exceptionally fine quality, and some are outstanding! Next year appears to be a busy one also, with several students opting for the Architectural programme. 82 t Unfortunately the Aircraft Construction class was not popular this year. However, we have made a fair amount of progress, particularly in the finishing of those items that were started last year. Some of the fuselage was prepared for painting and now sports a coat of grey ex poxy. The engine mounts are ready for welding inti position and they appear to be strong enough to accept the Volkswagen conversion engine that will power the Sonerai 2. We spent alot of time learning to install and remove the 5 32 inch diameter rivets that are an impor- tant part of the wing structure. The left wing is under construction and shortly it will be ready for the 0.025 aluminum skin. Progress appears to be slow; however, many small, unseen items have now been taken care of. 83 SWEENEY TODD - THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET - Once again, Sweeney Todd and his devilish assistant, Mrs. Lovett, stalked the halls of Shawnigan for blood. The demon barber was played by Colin Scott, but help for his murderous binges was given by Sarah Shaw as Mrs. Lovett. The hero, Anthony Hope (John Walton) and his love, Joanna (Christie McDermid) were a suitable pair of lovers playing opposite the Judge ' s (Rolfe Swinton) and Beadle ' s (Dave Lionas) scheming plans. Fer- dinand Rose became the ludicrous Dr. Fogg, a part tailor made, and Albi De Nardi was a high point in the show as the balding man. Blood, special effects and a minamalistic set, along with the superb direction of Mr. Grey, helped the show to be a definite highlight in Shawnigan drama history. ■■■■■I -gf rl Sadistic Dentists? World Conquest A skid-row flower shop, complete with an alien man-eating flower? Yes, this year ' s musical extravaganza managed to incorporate all of these many themes. Little Shop of Horrors marks the first time Shawnigan has at- tempted a modern Broadway musical, including the Rand B rhythms of the musical score. Audrey II , the odd alien plant with a deep, baritone voice, was undoubtedly the star of the show. The plant (that closely resembles an overripe avocado) ended up growing to a size of over eight feet long and five feet in diameter, a very imposing creature especially for Shawnigan ' s small stage. The plant construction as well as the set design was due, mainly, to many hours of work by John Walton, who was later made the first recipient of Shawnigan Drama activities colours. The stage crew headed by Mr. Felix, the lighting crew with E. Barbee, the costum- ing by Mrs. McCracken and Mrs. Payne and all the set decorations by Mr. Rolston, with help by R. Swinton and C. Scott, all cumulated to create a fantastic aura in the theatre. Mr. Grey for his Xth year was able to con- vert the Shawnigan youths to a group of skid-row bums and lower class citizens with his lively flair. Strong leads came from Tim Campbell (Seymour), Cathy Payne (Audrey), David Lionas (Musknik), Ian King (Orin), Steve Logie (the voice of Audrey II). The step into modernistic musicals was a success, what ' s next? Let ' s hope that future musicals continue to expand in their depth as Little Shop of Horrors has done so well. Rolfe Swinton ARTS AND LITERATURE A MYSTERY As I stepped outside, I was hit by an icy, cold breeze which held me in my spot. I looked over to the main gardens, but saw nothing, as they were full of a thick forbidding fog. A hymn loomed out of the chapel, it was loud, smooth, melodious. It echoed in the fog, repeating it ' s strong moving verses over and over again. I shivered as more cold air swept across my face, but I was hypnotized again by the mystery that lay before me. The fog was soft, white, shapeless, but inside I felt something else, something power- ful. I closed my eyes slowly, dreaming as if in heaven. I was awoken suddenly by a door opening behind me, never to return there. Paul Oxley, Grade 11 OPENNESS - A SYMBOL Before today, I have never really understood how much freedom we really have. As I stood in the sun, breathing the fresh air, looking across the eight acres of land that we play on, a thought struck my mind. If Africa had the amount of fertile land - they would use it to grow food and feed the never ending line of bloated stomachs, and hungry mouths. Then I realized how stupid we are also, if a city could have that land - they ' d build a mall or a parking lot. Although we are confined to a boundary, I ' d rather be confined to beauty than pollution and steel. S. Edwards, Grade 8 90 LAKE WEATHER THE PAIR Sharp winter winds slash and cut at the frothing mad waters. Water skiers glide over glass surface under an empty blue sky. Ice is broken as freezing rowers head out to practice. Pushed by a light breeze, a sailor enjoys a leisurely ride over rippled water. Spring squall wakes lake up. Broken, low clouds bring dark gusts, whitecapping, bobbing, deep blue waves. Thick fog muffles out any movement. Not a ripple nor a colour. Bright, end of year afternoons, tan resting swimmers. The mirrored image of the Kaschper shell on the still, icy water, is as perfect as the synchronisity of the two rowing it. No check, the boat is pulled powerfully through the water on a steady plane. Drive! Legs, back, arms, run, arms, back, legs, drive! Blue hands stuck firmly to the blades, feathering, squaring and feathering again. The strength, power, and endurance of the oarsmen propels the pair. It isn ' t enjoyable, yet, pain is for the moment, winning is forever. Jason Lewis, Grade 11 Spencer Liu. Grade 1 1 91 OPENNESS A Sense of Freedom Peering silently out of the window, while amongst my confinements, I see a small creature perched amongst its rustic surroundings. It twitters happily, and bobs its head, while having a chat with its companions. It turns its head, looks at me, and seems to smile. For it must understand that I am at peace with myself and I enjoy watching its actions. It carries on talking, and then without notice, it hops into the air, and gracefully glides away. Still sitting here, I realize that no matter how ' superior ' we are, we can never be as simple and so free as that lit- tle bird. Sam Price, Grade 8 Chikao Tsu-Chi Jfa 92 A SENSE OF FREEDOM While I was on the fields, many things gave me a sense of freedom: the wide open spaces, the big blue sky, and most of all, the bee that flew by my head. I found the bee symbolic of freedom, with a pur- pose. The bee flew around, col- lecting its surroundings, with no apparent care for time. Even though it had a purpose, to collect pollen, it seemed unaware that the collection of pollen was imperative for it ' s survival. This way it had no worries for survival, which I believe would be the ultimate freedom. Nick Smith, Grade 8 % Jl 1% Jerome Cheng, Grade 12 ONE MY GOVERNMENT Slowly it descends, Like a meandering stair; it twists and it turns deeper into that dark lair. Again The inky blackness pulls like a fish, on the line. Faster and faster the speed until the still time. Now Taut, like a rope the evening remains. Breath forever gone, the world loseth, it gains. One My government doesn ' t use Electric chairs. My government locks me up In a dark recess inside my skull Where I am forced to sit and curse And do sculptures in the wall With my thumbnail. My main source of food Is depleting itself. Aaron Bewza, Grade 9 John Walton, Grade 12 PRECIOUS MOMENTS OF SILENCE Before me were row upon row of books, smelling acutely worn and soothing. Their colours were somber, to match the woodwork, carpeting, and the horizon outside. Raindrops lightly danced on the win- dow panes and the thin wooden roof overhead. The florescent lights could be heard quietly humming, in- terspaced with the gentle ticking of the clock and the soft voices heard from the hallway. The quiet look of the wildlife gazing down at the silent readers was one of compassion. A moment of silence and a place of tradition can still be found in our bustling, modern lifestyles. Kaldean Brown 93 THE TREE As the brisk wind whistled across the field, the young pine tree was buffeted back and forth with an irregular rhythm. It was as though this tree was crying out and trying to break free of the roots holding it in its place throughout its lifetime, a prison without bars. It again swayed to the power of the wind and snapped up like a whip, spraying frigid water drops to the wet green below. It looked like the wind and the tree were locked in a wrestling match, one would get close to victory only to have the other throw them off. Each twig on every branch of the tree moved independently, but all contributed to the war effort of this living monolith. Many gusts of this cleansing air again attacked the tree, it bent over, only to snap back up, as the smell of pine permeated the air. Little did they know, they were fighting a losing battle. The tree would remain, waiting for the next windstorm to set it free, but in the meanwhile it would stand and cry a thousand tears. Spencer Liu, Grade 1 1 s Back Row. (L-R) S. Price, D. Jones, N.

Public Speaking has grown over the years with our public speakers hav- ing much success during this year in particular. The year consisted of a number of conferences, debates and speech contests, with Shawnigan fairing well in all. The two dominant figures in the program this year were Colin Scott and Rolfe Swinton. In October the pair went to Vancouver to participate in the Student Heads of Government Conference, representing the country of Ghana. Colin and Rolfe also took part in another Com- monwealth Conference later in the year in Victoria. Josh Brandon and Stephen Harper also attended this con- ference, representing the country of Grenada. Injjoth conferences Colin and Ro lfe won awards for best delegation. Stephen also attended a mock U.N. Con- ference in Victoria, playing the role of Russia. On the debating side of things, Colin, Rolfe, Charles Henderson and Tim Campbell went to the Regional debates in Nanaimo. It was a great learning experience for all as well as a success for Rolfe as he advanced to the Provincial debates which were held in Kamloops. This year Rolfe was selected to attend Forum For Young Canadians, a program held in Ottawa in which students from all over the country learn about and deal with the leaders of this country. For Rolfe the experience was very rewarding as well as interesting. As in previous years, Shawnigan again took part in the Cowichan Music and Speech Arts Festival. Many students participated in the areas of Public Speaking, Im- promptu Speech, Sight and Poetry Readings and the in- famous Bible Reading category. As was expected, Shawnigan brought home first place awards in most of the categories that they entered. Shawnigan students were given the opportunity again to show their speaking prowess in the Hector Mcintosh Public Speaking Contest held by the Rotary Club of Duncan. Two students, Hamish Nixon and Colin Scott won first the quarter finals held in the school and then their semi-final rounds to qualify for the finals. Hamish placed first in the Intermediate division and Colin gained top honours in the Senior division. Colin was also awarded the Hector Mcintosh trophy for Public Speak- ing by the school. In all it was a very successful year, with those who participated gaining experience and new insights into the techniques of Public Speaking. For Col- in and Rolfe it was a particularly rewarding year as they were both awarded the first School Colours for Public Speaking. A special thanks to Mr. McCracken for all the time and effort he has provided to this program. With his leadership the program will have an excellent and far reaching future.

However, as the year progressed, he proved himself as more than just a competent Housemaster. On the inter- house side of things, the house unfortunately came up short on the overall scale despite some excellent per- formances in soccer, cycling, and basketball. Some athletic stars such as Cam Barker, Alan Campbell, Grant Maier, Barnaby Wade and Stuart Wright shone brightly. Yet despite these individual performances, the team achievement was not always as wanted. The academic results showed steady improvement throughout the year. However, even when the perfor- mances were poor, the house spirit remained strong. Our crew of Grade 12 ' s this year showed us strong unified leadership and we look forward to next year ' s group for leadership and new ideas. Highlights of the year included Barnaby Wade winn- ing the Tour du Lac, hosting an exchange student from Australia, Glen Taylor, winter snowball fights with Lonsdale ' s House, triple School Colours for Cam Barker, Alan Campbell and Barnaby Wade and double School Colours for Stuart Wright. Unfortunately this year we have to say good-bye to Mr. Fernandez who is leaving for Spain. His friendly attitude and cheerful smile will be sorely missed throughout the house. Brian Lahiffe r Athough Groves ' House had a successful year, we could not manage to hold onto either the Lonsdale ' s Trophy or the Academic Shield. The Juniors were strong in academics while the seniors were strong in sports. We finished third in the standings, and we should do even better next year. This year, Groves ' had the pleasure of hosting two exchange students, John Amodeo from New Zealand, and Nick Arnott- Smith from Australia. We got rid of Piers Stronge for a term by sending him to Nick ' s school, Cranbrook in Australia. Groves ' lost two masters, Scott Noble to Copeman ' s and Jeff Hill to Western. We gained the experienced Graham Anderson and Dai Williams. Groves ' House celebrated it ' s 60th Anniversary this year, and many old boys came back for the celebra- tion dinner. The meal was highlighted by the presence of Mr. Tom Groves ' the brother of Colonel Groves, which keeps the link with our past. This year ' s success can be attributed to Mr. Mc- Cracken. Keeping the spirits high among the members of Groves ' was a hard task and he had the help of ice cream and treats from the masters wive ' s. We would like to thank all the members of the Groves ' family for an very successful year. A special thanks goes to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Cox, Mr. Hall and Mrs. Williams for all their caring assistance throughout the year. We are very fortunate to have the experience and concerned individuals associated with the house. To Mrs. McCracken and her chocolate chips a special plea for these to continue next year. Z. Zenith P. Oxley Copeman ' s was lucky that the year came to an end, because the gap between fifth and fourth in house standings was narrowing considerably every day. They will have nightmares all summer about next year! Equipped with three School Prefects and three House Prefects, the house ran smooth as silk. Chris Cooper, our allrounder Head of House and Deputy Head of School, shone in every aspect, and acquired eight House Colours, a new House record. Rolfe Swinton was touted as the epitome of an all- round student for his acceptance to Princeton, Yale and Brown (scholarship included too), Pat De Witt and Andrew Baycetich (who bear an astonishing resemblance to the two superheroes Captain Pep and Lakeman) kept the House spirit going until the last day. John Kiss managed to consume a major portion of the Columbian coffee reserves, thereby providing a great economic boost to that poor country, and rais- ing Shawingan ' s (especially Lake ' s House) status in the eyes of the world. Mauricio Suarez managed to 112 upset Zac Zenith (the school ' s most seeded player ?) in the Grogan Cup competition, to later win it in the final against Cam Barker. David pretty boy Lionas managed to become the Varsity VIII stroke one of the first XV second row, and be one of the leads in the school ' s play. (All in one year) Chris shifty Cockcroft was given a standing ovation at one of his piano concerts, after a brilliant perfor- mance (aren ' t they all). Steve Clarke set a school record for high jump (still in time for Seoul). strongly academic individuals - Nick Smith and Charles Smith. Both managed to finish first place in Grade 8 and Grade 9. We also had two highly athletic individuals, Mike Dice and Richard Pyke, who must be the first Grade 9 ' s to acquire House Colours. In all it was a strong year for the House, and there is promise of an even better one to come. On behalf of the House, we would like to thank Mr. Yates for tak- ing another year of unpredictable adolescents. The Junior section of the House was led by two David Suarez Lonsdale ' s First!! First!! First!! a constant repetition announced throughout the year during assemblies, that forced us to build a new, larger trophy case to ac- commodate the many awards. Under the guidance of Mr. Davies and the exceptional leadership of Prefects Miles Lawerence, John Turk, John Yeh and Tom Lui a great year was in store for Lonsdale ' s. The year began with a bang, as the house came together to win the Round-the-Lake Relay, releasing some of the potential that was in store for the other four houses. In the X-Country event, Wade Bruntjen in hi-tops surprised everyone as he crossed the finish line, to place first out of some 150 competitors. Tony Vlahos, Miles Grandin and Grant Bell were awarded as MVP ' s in hockey. In the rigorous events of field hockey and soccer, the house united to win overall, gaining more trophies as well as respect from the other houses. But there was more to Lonsdale ' s then just sports; academically the seniors and juniors vir- tually won every assessment period, led by Tom Lui, Kaldean Brown, Josh Brandon, and Stephen Harper. We were privileged this year with the addition of two new house assistants, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Dickens, who fitted in well along side Mr. Candelaria and Mr. Fraser. Another addition to the house, were the two exciting personalities of Peter Hinton and Justin Gallate from New Zealand, who gave us a taste of some Kiwi culture. Lonsdale ' s has come a long ways these last couple of years, from the bottom of the heap, to the top of the pile, consistently moving upwards making us 1 academically and deservedly, the winners of the Lonsdale ' s shield. Hafiz Damani The year began with the arrival of the new boys. We started the year by coming in with a strong second in the Around The Lake Relay. We then won the swim- ming with strong performances by Nigel Mayes and Tim Campbell. The House then got down to studies and under the academic leadership of Scott Bunnell we achieved first place in Senior and fifth in Junior. The members of the House were selected for many places in the school rugby teams, with Stewart Halli- day and Andrew Murphy playing on the firsts. Following the Christmas examinations we displayed our fine vocal skills with melodious carol singing in the Cowichan Valley. The second term produced ex- cellence in many areas. The Ripley ' s House Day was again outstanding. We had many parents here and the house produced the expected wins in the inter-house cross country. In particular David Murchie in senior and J.D. Ross in junior did exceptionally well. The third term rowing, track and field and drama, dominated the scene. With five members of the first eight in the house we dominated the inter-house row- ing. In the track and field we really came together and it was super. The House produced fine standards and wins were recorded by Stewart Halliday, Charles Henderson, Scott Bunnell, J.J. Collins, Xander Allison and David Murchie. The drama was ex- cellent. The school performed ' Little Shop of Hor- rors ' led by Tim Campbell and Steve Logie. This was the last graduating class which had lived in the old accommodation in the main building. We have been well and truly served by our Grads and, as a result, the House will be a better place for future generations. Throughout the year the House has been a happy place and we look forward once again to the new year. 113 114 r K?£gg ' .i E N pf s o 6 t V A I T I v ' y - N S r •.- - ■ mi GRAD CLASS OF 1988 faL 116 GRAD CLASS ' 88 HEAD OF SCHOOL — ( . a n DEPUTY HEAD OF SCHOOL BARNABY WADE, COPEMAN ' S 5 YEARS Activities: Rugby, Field Hockey, Soccer, Woodwork, Photo, Kayak- ing, Rugby Tour Ambitions: To live a full life and travel the world at every opportunity.

For those of us who will leave Shawnigan today for our last time as a stu- dent, this moment in history has been in our thoughts from day one on campus. But as we look out to the vast expanses of future prospects, it is impossible not to glance back with compassion on the time spent at Shawnigan. Whether you start the bottom in Grade 8 or merely stop in for t final years, Shawnigan is able to offer innumer able chances to excel in a diverse collection of fields. Each of us who graduate from this school can surely think back to experiences that have changed our attitudes and molded our thoughts in one area or another. As I recall my first weeks as a puny Grade 8, I am left with the haunting memories of such privileges as table fag. It is emories like these that captur e a secure position in our minds and in the years to come these thoughts shall never die. [ « fc Our lives at Shawnigan can be seen as a constant growth and continual maturing over a period of time that is ended here today. We are left with fond memories from all facets of Shawnigan life and we will venture out into the real world with qualities that are a product of the Shawnigan lifestyle. For, the graduate that Shawnigan pro-: duces is an individual with skills in areas that could have otherwise been neglected. Each one of us leaves here with the ability to live with others and this alone could be one of the most useful qualities that we are blessed with to survive in the world beyond these gates. After all our years of climbing the ladder and admiring those that tower above us, we finally reach the position that seemed eyond all hope. Grade 12 is a period when you are at the top and all the little juniors that scavenge below you are merely resources at your disposal, but as we leave the school and make our way towards University or life as an unemployed tatistic it is time to return to the bottom of the heap. The obstacles that will hinder our journey upwards are aspects of life that will have to be dealt with, but as many people have said If you can make it through Shawnigan, you can make it through anything. What we are left with as we step out of this life, is an education that will last for the rest of our lives, and although we will leave, the tradition stays with the school, will con- tinue educating all those that follow. Not only are we left with chemistry, physics, and biology but ith friendships that will last a lifetime, ates become brothers and teachers become athers as relationships are created that will form me of the strongest bonds to enter our lives, and s truly an experience that will stand prominent until our parting days. Now that the time has come when we must leave all of this, we are filled with mixed emotions, for although it is a great relief to reach this point, we can hardly help but think of the times past, and the people that made them. In departure from this place that has had so much meaning in all our lives it is only fitting to offer our thanks to all of those that gave us the opportunity to share in this ex- perience, for without our moms, dads, masters and family the Shawnigan tradition would never have been, and in the days to come the memories that are left here today will be implanted in our minds forever. We are leaving now but with us goes the spirit of Shawnigan, and we wish the school well as it em- barks in a new era in its history. May we meet again!

It wasn ' t long before she was made cook in the morning shift and due to her faithfulness and efficiency she became head cook of this shift. Starting at 5:00 a.m. each day was not always easy, nevertheless, in her twenty- four years she never missed a shift due to illness nor was late. Vera will be especially remembered for her fantastic homemade soups at lunch hour. The school is very thankful for Vera ' s commitment and service and we wish her all the best in the coming years. Norm Magee NICK FAIRBANK Nick first came to Shawnigan as an eighth grader, staying at the school until graduation five years later as a School Prefect. Not many years after, Nick returned to Shawnigan as a staff member. Now, once again he is leaving after a five year stay. Nick has served Shaw- nigan in the areas of music, choir, outdoors, french and above all from my point of view the organ. He has let me sit beside him to hear what it sounds like and I am sincerely grateful. Nick leaves us to circumnavigate the Pacific, no minor undertaking on your own in a 27 ft sailboat. We will miss Nick ' s wit, sense of humor, his gentleness and his tireless love for the school. We wish him fair weather, a fresh breeze, a fabulous experience, but above all a safe and happy return. Good luck Graham Anderson 140 MIGUEL FERNANDEZ Miguel ' s three years at Shawnigan have been filled with triumphs. A natural teacher, he has shaped the Spanish department into a vibrant and exciting area. This enthusiasm and dedica- tion led him to take a group of boys to Mexico on a cultural tour this past Spring Break. He will not only be missed in the classroom but also on the soccer and rugby pitches, as sponsor of the Cycling Club and in Copeman ' s House where his personable nature drew boys close to him. He leaves us in order to pursue his Master ' s Degree in Hispanic studies in Madrid, Spain. In- deed we will all miss him: his perceptive, fun- loving and spontaneous nature have endeared him to us. Buena suerte, Miguel! S.S. Candelaria SALLY SMITH ' S SAILING SPREE Or, Music has charms to sooth a savage sea Sally Smith, sixteen, slim, sexy, strong-willed, solitary, seemed stranded shoreward. So Satur- day she saw some sloops sailing south. She shouted, Stop! Swiftly she swam seaward. Seeing Sam Salter ' s sloop soonest, she struggled stern-wise. She stood somberly. So, some sloop! she said. She spied Sam ' s sailors: ship ' s chandler - Stewart Standish; ship ' s chef Stephen Stone. So Sally, Stewart, Stephen, Sam sailed south. Swells swished swiftly shoreward, sending shivers shifting Sally ' s stomach. Suddenly she seemed sick! Sooo sick! She sat silently several seconds seeing stars. Sailors certainly suffer sometimes, she surmised. Suddenly Sam shouted, Sally! See? Six seals swimming simultaneously! Sally sat sideways so she should see. Shazamm! she screamed, Such super swimmers seals seem! So slim, so sylph-like. Sally sat starboard, silently, sleepily. Soon she snored. Stephen said, See, Sam, Sally ' s sleep- ing. Should she sit so sea spray showers so? Said Sam, Shortly Stewart ' s switching sails, so Sally should switch sides. She ' ll slip sitting so. Sally still seemed somewhat sick. So Sam said, sing, Sally. Sing some sea shanties. Sally smiled. She slowly stretched. Seems sensi- ble, she surmised. She sang Shanendoah , serenading sweetly. Stephen ' s synthesizer softly strumming. So Sally, Stewart, Stephen, Sam, seals sailed south singing sextets. Swells subsid- ed; Sally ' s sickness stopped. So singing sooths savage seas, see!
