Headrnasteris Report The School Year 1984-85 marks the school's 79th year of existence and my eighth year as Headmaster. In terms of cups, trophies and honours won in rugby, soccer, basketball, cricket, badminton, tennis, volleyball, track and field, cross- country and field hockey, this year almost certainly ranks as w the finest the school has ever seen. In music, art, drama and debating, this year has also been a vintage year: I think of the West Side Story production at the McPherson Playhouse, the German Play, the French Play, the one-act plays, the full- length musical put on by the Junior School, other musical performances by choral and instrumental groups, as well as the memorable solo performances given in Chapel. Academically, SMU this year retained its pre-eminent position among schools in B.C. and across Canada, ranking again as top overall in University of Waterloo and University of Windsor maths contests. This was the year that Bryan Feir ranked first among Grade ll students in B.C. in physics and among the top fifty of 500,000 competitors from thirty-seven countries in the MAA international maths contest. It was a year in which Junior and Senior students excelled in essay contests and in which Gosta Struve-Dencher won the Vancouver Island, the B.C. Independent Schools, and the B.C. Provincial Debating Contests. It was this year that Ken Oppel's book was published internationally. This was also the first year that Japanese has been introduced in to the school. in Grades 1, 2, 3, thanks to Mr. Richard Bonnycastle of Calgary and the support of Mr. Masuda of Yokohama, Japan. This was also, let it be noted, the year when the Board of Governors, under the Championship of lan Jessiman, cleared the way for girls to enter SMU beginning in Grade 1. But apart from all the honours and accolades won by SMU pupils, and especially by members of the 1985 graduating class, there is something far more important to be said. This year's graduating class was not only multi-talented but it was also exceptionally mature, responsible and caring. lt set an example for all the members of the school to try to match or, if they can, to excel in their final year. To the two School Captains, Gareth Rees and Shannon Hill, and to the Head Boy, Steven Kasapi, my congratulations on an outstanding year. And to all the members of a fine graduating class, warmest good wishes for the future. We're all of us at SMU sorry to see you leave. ,e 1 X .X . x . f .. gf as X I f-f I ' i John Schaffter Headmaster
