The boys who entered, in order of achievement were: B. Chui, H. Cunningham, D. Yue, C. Blackstock, I. Ho, A. Cheng, W. McAlpine and R. Browning. A. Chu and CJ. Turner of Grade X also entered. I hope that next year there will be a larger entry for this competition, and that many of the Grade XII's will enter the Maths Assn. of America Contest. R.E.I-I.P. SCUBA DIVING REPORT Eleven students gained NAL'l scuha qualifications this year during the Spring Term. Once again. a large percentage ol these were junior boys who will lorm the nucleus ol' the divers at the school lor a number of years. At last the Scuba Club has managed to acquire two 40 cu. lt. tanks for both teaching and recreation purposes. This is only the beginning ol' a much needed equipment pool. Diving as a recreation is growing very rapidly but also, is more and more a requirement of marine scientists. A number of students have already expressed an interest in various aspects of subtidal biological work and we hope in the next year to undertake a project of this type. P.G. Gardiner 27

OLD BOYS' NOTES W.A. NIcC1LI.YRAY 11929-331 Hearty congratulations to BILL NIcC1LLYRAY who was appointed Chief justice of Alberta in November 1974. We know that Bill will adorn his high office, and that his richly deserved elevation will in no way diminish the sense of humour which is his alone. WAYNE KEIL 11962-691 WAYNE obtained his degree in Linguistics at the University of Victoria in 1973 and now attends Kingdon-Ward Speech Therapy Trust. a college affiliated with Cuys Hospital in London, England. LYNN EYES 11952-581 Old Boys will be glad to hear that Lynn is still running, and running fast. He is deeply involved in Master's Competition and at age 32 his times are: 100 yds. 9.9, 220 yds. 22.4, 440 yds. 49.7. Lynn represented Canada in the 400 metres at the Rome Olympics. D.L. TAYLOR 11945-491 Congratulations to Don who ran so creditably as a Conservative candidate in the last Federal election. To push as redoubtable an opponent as Tommy Douglas so hard was a great achievement. D.P. MORROW 11941-471 It seems that the school was favoured by a visit from POTTER not long ago. We feel sure that the Headmaster, who had no previous exposure to POTTER, must have heard many a knavish tale, though some we hope were tactfully withheld. H.Y. WARREN 11919-201 Word has been received to the effect that in November. 1973. His Royal Highness, Prince Philip. acting in his capacity as Honorary President, conferred upon HARRY the distinction of an Honorary Fellowship in the Royal College of Ceneral Practitioners of Great Britain. In view of the fact that HARRY is a Ceological engineer this is an unusual distinction, but then HARRY is not a usual individual. C.D. TAYLOR 11926-301 CHARLIE 1ELMO1 TAYLOR retired in August, 1974, and the firm of Taylor 8: Drury, for two generations an institution in Whitehorse is no more. CHARLIE will continue to live in the Yukon which he loves and it is hoped that with the development of the North his vast experience and interest may be of great value. He has already served on the Yukon Territorial Council. Your reporter has been visited recently by W.T. WILKINSON 11929-321, B.S. NIACK1D1l926-321 and A.P. PHILIPSEN 11930-331. TAIT is still going strong in Calgary and there seems to be no talk of retirement. BENTON however has retired and has been traced to an address at Sidney near Yictoria. ARNIE has left the Yukon and is now selling real estate in Yancouver. Many Old Boys will he saddened to learn of the passing on March 12, 1975 of Nlrs. lf. Nlcllonough. who. lor many years was a Iaithlul member ol the Office Stall. lnvariahlv willing and cheerful. she was a woman of rare spirit, and served the School with a loyalty seldom seen in this age. 28
