SPIRIT! 3 THERE IS NO DARK SIDE OF THE MOON . 5 FR. D.A. TONY VERRALL (CLASS OF ' 47) Father Tony Verrall came to Vancouver College in Sept., 1942 and graduated as school president in 1948. A five foot dynamo of energy, Tony excelled in every activity from drama to the Letterman ' s Club while maintaining an A average in his studies. His achievements as a cheerleader. Alumni booster, and major supporter of College Spirit, are legendary. In 1949 Tony joined the Christian Brothers and was a confrere of Brother French at West Park N.Y.. Father Tony was ordained a priest on March 14, 1959. He was a great priest and remained very close to College Alumni and students. He died of Lou Gehrig ' s Disease on Aug 31, 1986. A bursary has been established in his name at Vancouver College and his blessed chalice left in the care of the Brothers at V.C.. Sponsored by: TREASURE TOURS 6 MODERATOR ' S MESSAGE And then, almost imperceptibly, it begins. A few restless ideas scribbled and shouted and only half remembered. And from the randomness of these col¬ lected moments something happens. It is not always what you desire and rarely what you expect. Yet for some reason it works and like that first V.C. yearbook of 1925, and all the others published since, it becomes a celebration of our school year. Today the Collegian is recognized as one of the top annuals published in Canada. This is a tribute to the students who are the fundraisers, photographers, designers, writers, and editors who have joined talents in producing the book. Most of them are seniors and will graduate this year. We thank them and wish them well. Then we look forward to next September when a new staff will experience the tumultuous, exciting, creative madness that becomes the Collegian. 7 FACULTY FROM THE PRINCIPAL ' S DESK The apostolic concern of the Congregation of Christian Brothers is the Christian education of youth striving to reach maturity in a rapidly changing world that is unsympathetic to the message of Christ. All around are hearts to be won, minds to be enlightened, personalities to be formed. It is the mission of Vancouver College to give students the opportunity to grow and learn in an atmosphere conducive to the cultivation of Catholic ideals. Within the present student body, particularly among the graduating class, are numerous individuals who can ensure that society continues to be enfused with the spirit of Jesus Christ. Leadership has long been a part of the tradition of Vancouver College. It is my hope that the College will become known once again as a watershed of strong Catholic leadership. This potential is present throughout our student body, as it has always been present among our alumni. As you move into higher grades within the College, be prepared to take on new leadership roles. As you move out into the harsh realities of the world, be prepared to lead in other ways. Society today is in need of credible leaders. You have the potential. Choose to use it. Be always faithful to the ideals of your faith and your upbringing. They will serve you well as a stable foundation in a world that is continuously changing, and often difficult to fully understand. God bless you, and all that you do. Br. K.J. Farrell, CFC Sponsored by BOB AND ELSIE BUTLER 10 NAME: Mr Dario Sponza.

She ' s slowly taking off her clothes. She ' s just about finished and . . . click - AIGHH! I ' m awake. It ' s Monday morning, 6:45 a.m. I ' m awake. I can ' t move but I ' m awake. Ten minutes later I start to shake. The creature is rising slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y. I can ' t see a thing with all this light. Across the hall from my room I snag a towel and head towards the bathroom. I nearly break my neck, tripping over the laundry basket, - or is it the cat? It ' s only 6:58 a.m. so I guess there ' s no difference. In the bathroom, I quickly turn on the lights - by now my eyes have become ac¬ customed to the living. Unconsciously, I peel off my evening attire, climb into the shower and hit the water. AIGHHH! I ' M AWAKE! I ' M AWAKE! I ' M AWAKE! WHERE THE HECK IS THAT HOT WATER?!? Here it comes - Ahhh! It ' s now time to whistle the theme to the Andy Griffith Show and drive the other members of this household insane for seven minutes. Serves them right - darn early risers! I ' m about 30 seconds away from finishing when Mom pounds on the wall. Come on! You ' ve been in there for an hour! Mothers love to exaggerate when you aren ' t in an arguing mood. So I turn off the water still drenched in soap. Now time to shave. First must clean off one of those disposable razors you ' ve used 100 million times. I see my brother ' s electric razor in the corner. I spit on it. He woke me up at 5:45 with that damn thing buzzing. Brush my hair, brush my teeth, and it ' s off to get garbed! Let ' s see now. It ' s the white shirt and the blue tie, or the blue shirt and the grey tie. Ordinarily this would be a day- halting dilemma for me if it weren ' t for one important fact - no one cares. So I blindly dress up, pack my bag, and head downstairs. A shot of apple juice will do for breakfast - my digestive system hasn ' t woken up yet. I grab my keys and head for the garage. I push the garage door open. A crack of light enters at the base. Good Morning Sunny Suburbia! I load into the car and take off at 65 km h, radio blasting, sun blaring, sister screaming. After dropping sister off at generic female parochial school, it ' s off to my final destination - Vancouver College (for mercy ' s sake, I have omitted traffic-wars for it ' s nothing you people haven ' t seen or done). • • • ON THE WAY TO V.C. As I approach the parking lot, I think “If that stupid red firebird is in my space. I ' ll deface it! But it isn ' t, and I slide on in. 7:52 a.m. Why do I get here so early? I walk into an empty classroom. Blank chalkboards?!? - that will NEVER do! Time to crack out the old almanac and find out whose birthday it is. Ah-ha! Erik Estrada ' s, Andy Gibb ' s, Pee-Wee Herman ' s, . . . not Skitch Henderson ' s though. Hmmm, Cher ' s 567 in dog years today - that ' s worth writing. 8:02 a.m. A fellow student enters the room. Time for International Coin Hockey! I ' m West Germany. My record is 0-50-0. This isn ' t my best game. Nine to zero. Time for my big comeback. 10-0. Maybe tomorrow. 8:15 a.m. Time to do my “home work. Anyone I can copy off of? Of course not. Intelligent people don ' t come this early. 8:30 a.m. The first bell rings. In walks the homeroom teacher, a man who must stay in a room with 30 noisy guys and hand out letters. I almost heard one announcement today. The bell rings again and it ' s time to go to class. I will not describe what goes on in a V.C. classroom because academically, you will find little difference between it and any other school. The bell rings once more. 3:00 p.m. I attempt to go to my locker, but am blocked by the guy who feels obligated to do his “Saturday Night Fever” impersonation in front of me every day. I open my locker and the 92nd “great avalanche of ' 88“ begins. 3:20 p.m. I report to my after school extracurricular organization. It has given me a chance to sit and think and write about my day. As I said, it is not what happen s during school that makes V.C. special. It ' s what happens before and after. I don ' t know how to express it in words. Some call it spirit, but that ' s too difficult to even think about, and even¬ tually leads me to thoughts of sports. It ' s more than just sports. It ' s what makes me get there so damn early and leave so damn late. It ' s why I could never go to another high school. 29 Student B 6:30 The alarm bellows in my mind which is totally engrossed in the solemnity of sleep. Reluctantly I rise and make my way through an endless maze of clothes and various pieces of furniture. Finally, I ' m there, the bathroom. Into the shower. There it is, the wake-up tool I need the most, the last bar of the Zest. It doesn ' t work; I ' m still asleep. It ' s now time to grab a bowl of corn flakes and a cup of hot acidic solution - coffee. I ' m awake. My morning is complete. 7:00 Off to the educational institution known as Vancouver College. But first, half an hour of careful duelling and jockeying for position in the congestion of motor vehicles affectionately called rush hour traffic. 7:30 I leaves the safe confines of my automobile and am suddenly surrounded by the hostile and in¬ tricate world known as high school. Decompression in the caf. is 15 minutes as I discuss the evening ' s occurences with some of the other inmates. I then go off by myself to my assigned place of residence - homeroom. It is here that I converse with the other members of my compound about world affairs that concern only us. 8:15 Time to begin my work duty assigned by the subject teacher the previous day. 8:50 The bell has rung. Class is commencing. No problem. My day consists of six elaborate com¬ prehension periods; each a different, more demanding course. I love it. It is the epitome of learning. 2:50 I can ' t handle this. I don ' t love it. Sometimes I hate it. But I know it ' s necessary. I see it through. 3:00 Whew! Made it. Now I can go participate in the production of the institutional journal known as the yearbook; or play any sport, there ' s no difference. 4:00 As I work, I look out the window and see the various activities occur simultaneously. The energy, the drive, the willingness, the dedication in each participant, that ' s what makes this establishment great. Then I realize that I too am a part of this place. It is more than just a building, it is all the students joined as a community with the Irish spirit within each of us. 5:00 The day is over. I head home. 30 V.C. IS EVERYWHERE! 31 : | ! I. And for just $50 more, I ' ll throw in this dog. 2. So this is what the teacher sees 8 hours a day. 3. Look into the pyramid. You are getting sleepy, sleepy, ... 4. A group of elementary students perform for the mother ' s coffee party. 5. An innocent bystander watches as one of the ever so popular ' recess races ' takes place. 6. And if Mr MacCormack could hold the map still for one second, we could see that Warsaw is in fact the capital of Poland. 7. He sat, unaware that he was about to be the meal for some prehistoric reptiles. 8. David O ' Regan is put in the spotlight. 9. 1 will now set fire to the bird ' s nest so you can see that the birds are, in fact, missing. 10. We have a potential recess ' conflict ' here. II. You will observe that every student has his mandatory box of pencils. LIVELY Miss Mackinnon describes her class as lively and fun.

INVOLVED This grade five class was involved in all facets of life at Vancouver College. There were athletes, artists, and all-round students. Miss Herb had a fun year as grade five teacher, her first year at V.C. teaching this grade. The students contributed to school life and had a lot of fun in various school events. Watch out for the grads of 1995! DETERMINED Not to be outdone by anyone, this gang of grade sixers would usually see what had to be done, especially when it came to sprucing up the learning environment, and did the job with gusto and with pride in their own work. Their close ties with one another, more often than not, demonstrated loudly in closed combat on the football field, brought out the best of talents and character in many of them. Leadership qualities were challenged further this year when they realized they had become the senior class of the elementary section. They rose to that challenge on many occasions. As the senior class in 1994, this is the one to watch.

IN THE SPIRIT This year ' s edition of H.R. 7-1 got off to a fast start by collecting $2,000 for the Walk-A-Thon. By leading the school in this area, the boys showed their willingness to support the spirit of V.C. The class had also enjoyed a week at the Flying U Ranch in the Caribou and when the train pulled into North Vancouver to conclude the trip, they now knew where not to stand when addressing a horse. The students look forward to the challenges presented at College and if their original enthusiasm is any indication of success, you can count on the students from Room 107 for years to come. 48 FRONT ROW: (L TO R) Jamie Biggar, Jonathan Calla, Alex Wong, Bien Matute, Johann Dozva, Joey Boskovitch, Tim McGuinness, Ben Webber, Matthew Waroway, Chris Benning, Ashley Liu.

HIGH SCHOOL ART GALLERY 88 89 ALEX ' S NEIGHBORHOOD By Alex Basio I think that I shall never see, A mo vie made so terribly! The title was The Cultured Rogue, Which now is playing at the Vogue. The leading man is Schwartzenegger, Who played the role of a pizza maker. His store ' s destroyed by Pee Wee Herman, Paul Simon, and Ethel Merman. Arnold thus swings into action. And hires the help of Michael Jackson. Oprah Winfrey joins the pack. With Vannah White and Pat Sajak. Then the audience cheers and shouts. As the Osmonds get their teeth knocked out. Tammy Baker, whose name is Lola, Decides to model for Crayola. Then everyone is blown away, By Emmanuel Lewis and Joel Grey. So Arnold grits his teeth so mean. And takes a hold of his M-16. He fronts his enemies, five on one, And suddenly, begins to run. Climbs eighty flights and takes a leap! Don ' t ask me why, I fell asleep. FREEDOM By Rob Lee Oh, how I long to fly Amidst the clouds, the stars, the sky. To view the earth ' s beauty from overhead. To be near the heavens so far away. I will leave my borders with this flight. No boundaries, no restrictions to hinder me. Into the heavenly bodies I shall go. Limited by only thoughts and imagination. These thoughts change to dreams, To help me reach my goal. And I will fly like the wind Into the sky. But this is my spirit, That soars on high. And then, in me, silence, A wish fulfilled. MY LIFE AS ANTONIO SALIERI By John Haslam Antonio I love you I understand your torment I see you I am you You tried so hard You went along to Exist in idealism But were undermined by the sick gift of His genius Antonio, patron saint of mediocrity. I don ' t want to seek Vengeance on God. I know my talent is to appreciate. It feels like paralysis, seeing, knowing, feeling What is grand But not doing anything. 90 ON THE LEDGE Anonymous To those of you who might have thought That I would stay here, this you sought. And always keep a pleasant smile, And keep a whistle all the while. That I would prefer life to death. And choose not to follow MacBeth. These infernal thoughts you keep As I enter life ' s final sleep. To come no more from whence I came. And have my day poured on by rain. I ' d rather commit suicide Than hang around for genocide. And so at that I say good-bye; I ' m unrestricted, I can fly. HOPE Rob Lee Does it have to be that men Must duel it out again and again. All for power, lust and greed, And human life they do not heed? Is it to this fate we go. To hate and kill, these things we ' ve shown Or can we save us, just before This time bomb stops, there is no more? But will this happen? Is there hope? Can we stop it, learn to cope? All these questions, broken dreams - Are there answers? - Not yet, it seems . . . DARKNESS BRM I am the doorway whose barren light is gathered softly into the darkness of your eyes. I am ready and still your pathway is as dark as the weave of my perception. It is darker than the secret of death (which you conceal so cleverly) and darker even than the measurement of life. I am swollen with every burden that has become my desire. Each greed a soul, desperate and longing to be nourished by the flesh of your darkness. For in the well of every deep unspoken breath lives the freedom of your darkness as clean and brief as the moment when the smallest truth shall find me and as solemn as that moments passing. 91 92 93 CRHDUHTE5 mm TWELVE YEAR MEN ' 88 ANTON DANIELSEN MARTIN M. LYNCH BRENDAN MCCABE Anton has been stumbling through the halls of V.C. consecutively late for the past 12 years. He is best known for his sarcasm, sleep¬ ing, and annoying drum tapping. Now that he ' s out, no longer will teachers disturb his deep slumber. When not in school (which is often) he can usually be found acting like a juvenile with friends or bangin ' his drums. Anton was active in both football and basket¬ ball, but ended his careers early to fulfill his obligations in work detail after hours. After graduation, Anton plans to enter the field of recording arts. Martin has attended Vancouver College for the last 12 years. He enjoys playing the electric guitar, driving, and eating pizza subs. After graduating, Martin plans to attend Simon Fraser University and study Criminology. Eventually he hopes to become a lawyer as well as an enterpreneur. Brendan has attended Vancouver College since the first grade. He has been actively in¬ volved in the school band since the fourth grade and would enjoy continuing in the musical field in the future. Among his achievements in the school are winning the Religion Award in the second and third grade, and surprising everyone by actually getting on the honour roll in the eleventh grade. Apart from those, Brendan has done little to bring himself into the spotlight. Brendan would like to leave V.C. with a cry for peace and hap¬ piness throughout the world. 96 JOHN MULHERN John has been attending V.C. since grade one. His two most memorable years were grades six and seven with Br. Conti and Mr. Bum as his teachers. John has been so attentive to his studies that he has attended summer school since grade eight. When not studying extensive¬ ly, John can be found with his friends at the beach in the summer and skiing up at Whistler during the winter. ANDREW IAN THOMAS NATHANSON Andy counts himself lucky to have the honour of being a twelve year man at V.C. During his stay at College, Andy has participated in varsi¬ ty football, basketball, public speaking, tennis, and the grad committee. While maintaining honour roll status, Andy was an avid supporter of the Fighting Irish in every sport. His fondest memories include Saturday afternoons at O ' Hagan and being greeted by shouts of “help!” Andy plans to further his education at U.B.C. or an eastern university in the field of law. He would especially like to thank the brothers for their education and guidance. ANDREW LAWRENCE MATTHEW PORTER Andrew is one of the few rarities to have mysterious¬ ly endured twelve years at Vancouver College. Dur¬ ing his stay he has participated in all aspects of school life, ranging from track and field to football, in¬ tramurals, public speaking, school plays, and winn¬ ing the religion and citizenship awards in elementary. Andrew has proven himself both athletically and academically, and will always remember fondly the dedication and example set by the Christian brothers and staff as well as the numerous friendships made with fellow Collegians. Throughout his stay he has ex¬ emplified the school motto: “semper fidelis - “always faithful. Andrew would especially like to thank his parents for the 12 years of love and support given to him, and the $20,000 of tuition fees put forward which made it possible for him to experience all that he did. Andrew plans to further his education at U.B.C. and wishes the best of luck for the graduating class of ' 88. In September, 1976, the Grade One class of Vancouver College had twenty- one students. Now, twelve years later, seven of those students still survive, each year holding both the good times and the bad; but, all in all, their experiences at the College proved to be rewarding. These students, now proudly called Twelve-year Men , are Anton Danielsen, Martin Lynch, Brendan McCabe, John Mulhern, Andy Nathanson, Andrew Porter, and Kevin Stack. During their stay they have seen a wide variety of changes ranging from the creation of O ' Hagan Field to the leadership of five different principals. They have contributed to the growth and development of Vancouver College as a community through their participation in every aspect of school life. Not one o f the seven was ever a 9-to-3 type for any of their years at Vancouver College. The list of accomplishments is far too long to list here, as it encompasses most everything from being avid sportsmen and supporters to being disciplined, hard workers. They have learned that in order to get benefits out of Vancouver College, one must involve himself freely in the extracurricular activities that the school has to offer. They would like to thank the Christian Brothers for their example and dedica¬ tion, all the teachers for their unwavering help, and, especially, their parents whose love and support guided them to success. Anton, Martin, Brendan, John, Andy, Andrew, and Kevin are proud to have been a part of the heritage and tradition of the Fighting Irish . KEVIN PATRICK STACK Kevin, a 12 year man, has enjoyed his stay at V.C. He has participated in basketball for 7 years and has been a member of the Lettermen ' s Association for 3 years. He could always be seen at football games or track meets or just hang¬ ing around after school. During school he would always be boasting about the best city in the world - Chicago - or defending Rhythm and Blues music. In the future Kevin hopes to fur¬ ther his education and play baseball in the U.S. Kevin would like to thank all his friends that made his stay at V.C. great. He is indeed a proud member of the Fighting Irish. 97 ARNOLD FARGAS ARAO Arnold has been attending Vancouver College for five years. Since coming here in grade eight, Arnold has participated actively in school life - playing both Junior Varsity and Varsity football, being a sports trainer for the basketball teams, managing track and field, and is a member of the student council and the Lettermeris Association (receiving his Varsity Letter in grade eleven), as well as an honours student. Arnold ' s fondest memories come from grades 11 and 12, endur¬ ing long, arduous and meaningless classes with Mr. Clarkson, listening to Milan on the entire Kamloops trip, and furthering inter-school relations in the famous V.C.-Gladstone conflict of ' 87. What lies ahead for Ar¬ nold after the hallowed halls of Vancouver College? Well, Arnold plans to attend Arts at U.B.C. and become a teacher, perhaps to return to V.C. someday, somewhat wiser, and to continue the proud tradition of the Fighting Irish of Vancouver College. CHARLES ANDREW NELSON ARNOLD Andy has been coming to Vancouver College from Richmond for the past five years. In grades nine and ten Andy was a football manager and achieved his J.V. letter. He participated in V.C. ' s band program playing trumpet at both concert and stage band levels. After grad, Andy hopes to attend Western University to achieve a degree in accounting and spread the word “dude throughout Ontario. Andy would like to thank all his teachers for their support and guidance and advises the grads of ' 88 to go nuts! CHRISTOPHER G. ASCHER Fred (as dubbed by his buddies?) has made the long trek to V.C. for the past 5 years, 3 by chauffeur and 2 via his 455. While at the Col¬ lege, Chris has participated in the Band pro¬ gram, going all the way to the Canadian Finals in 1986. Chris has enjoyed his stay here, and to his surprise, most of the teachers he ' s en¬ countered. Future plans are to attend U.B.C. ' s Faculty of Education to become what else? A teacher. Who knows? Maybe in the future you might just see Chris (Mr. Ascher) roaming the halls of V.C. once again - Heaven forbid!! JOHN FREDERICK BAILEY SHAWN BALY ALEXANDER R. BASIO John ' s been at V.C. for 7 years and has almost enjoyed it. When not being threatened with be¬ ing kicked out of the school John can be found downtown taking in his favourite peeler, in the gym, or cleaningBathroom tiles in Kelowna. In the future John ' s plans include university, etc. John would also like to wish his friends Charlie, Paul, and Colin the best of luck in their careers. Shaun has been attending V.C. since grade eight. He has travelled from both Ladner and Surrey via B.C. Transit and later a small orange car. His stay at V.C. has been a memorable one and he would like to thank everyone who made it possible. After graduation Shaun plans to catch the first plane to Hawaii and later return to further his study in Criminology at S.F.U. Best wishes to all the grads and good luck in the future. Alex came from the ever popular St. Paul ' s School, and studied at V.C. for 5 years. He has had many exotic, polychromatic kaleidoscopic experiences including be¬ ing a member of the student council depuis 2 years, playing on the grade 8 basketball team for naif a season (because he thought it was too easy), and playing foot¬ ball in grade 10. He would like to thank no one in par¬ ticular except MAYBE his friends, his loving parents, Richmonites, Vancouverites, nerds, teachers, head- bangers, jocks, spocks, geeks, dorks, President Aouino, the King of Norway, M.C.,T.L., M.S., G.C., D.K., and of course H.B. After grade 12, Alex wishes to seek funnier jokes, to purchase a Walkman, to watch more Evil Dead - type movies, and perhaps, take up medicine in his spare time. Alex would like to end this grad write-up with a big bang. BANG! i 98 TREVOR CHARLES BASU Trevor has been attending Vancouver College since grade nine. He greatly appreciated the presence of Mrs. Small and Mrs. Sadro for enabling him to keep his male identity during his four long years in attendance at V.C. His most pleasurable times occured during school functions such as dances, football and basket¬ ball games, which his friends will never forget, and ne will never remember. When not found buried in his books, which got him on the honour roll every now and again, Trevor could be found “hacking butts in the smoke pit,” or experiencing experimental activities with his V.C. buds. Trevor ' s future plans are to be a nuclear physicist at Harvard. BRAD JAMES BENTZ MILAN ANTONIO BOLJUNCIC Brad has been amilessly wandering the halls of V.C. for six years now. As with everything there is the good and the bad, but for this graduate it has been mostly good. He would like to thank The Farm for the best times, especially his great friends D.L., T.V., S.V., M.K., R.C., M.S., H.V., S.G., M.Y., K.S., and B.P. The Farm ' s greatest moments include numerous times at the beach, uncountable trips to Fiasco ' s to discuss rude things, Whistler, Dong Nai, September 12th at H.V. ' s, and June 20th at D.C. ' s and the Cult with M.K. He thanks his various teachers and coaches for being patient and instilling some character in him. He would especially like to thank his parents for giving him all he could ask for and leading him down the right road in life. His future plans include becoming a Chippen¬ dale man, marrying rich for a short time, or maybe even entering law. Oh, Mr. Clayton, can I have my old seat back? Milan entered V.C. in grade 8 as a chubby little kid, but graduated as an immoveable wanna be person. He bussed it every day from his hometown East Van. and became separated from the Franklin Boys. This husky little lineman wobbling through the V.C. halls is almost always seen with his good bud¬ dy M.L. arguing about politics against J.R., M.E., and other S.C. figures. When not seen with the gang of W.P., T.C., N.E., T.S., A.C., J.F., and M.L., he can be seen with the, uh, almost im¬ aginary chowable partying Franchesca Vrentresca at Stanley Park. He can also be seen with his close sister Yvonne worry¬ ing about X or shaving beards with her girlfriends at ND. Milan, a member of the Lettermen ' s Association, has been involved in football and track in his past 5 years here. Bo takes pride in his school and at all events, and would like to thank memorable teachers like Dan I and his x attacks, Mr. Doyle and his yaps. Coach Beers and his B.B. and encouragement, Mr. Accili, Mrs. Sadro and the bad comer, and Mr. Farenholtz because it ' s all so logical. He ' d also like to thank D.K. and C.M, K.G., M R., T.C., G.K., and S.G. at L.F.A. Milan ' s goal is to hopefully at¬ tend S.F.U., to become an N.D.P. politician and to tell all troya Butana and other memorable sayings.

Craig has fond memories of party¬ ing with the guys and looks forward to more. Craig would like to thank Brother Rowland for a nice wel¬ come in Grade 10 as his homeroom teacher. Also Br. Rowland was a strong supporter of the soccer team and taught Craig History 12 and Law 12, for which Craig is thankful.

However, I soon got used to the dress code ana made some new friends. It was difficult at first but 1 hung in there until grade 12, and found that I was somewhat better for having done so. Over the years I found that my interest were the Arts and the subject of history, specifically my Art 11 course with Mrs. Davies, my Writing 12 class with Ms. Meehan, and my Western Civilization 12 with Mr. Matusicky. The reason for my taking such courses is that I want to better understand the need for Art in our society. This l feel will help me in my future career choices of photography or architec¬ ture, the two things I ' m best at. Many thanks to all my teachers and friends for their never ending sup¬ port. 1 wish them all good luck in the future. SEAN EDAN FLEMING Sean first arrived at College in grade 7, com¬ muting from the “exciting” municipality of North Burnaby.

Also during his stay he managed to attain academic honours for five years straight. When school is not in progress Joe can be found in a variety of places - on the beach catching some rays, on the golf course looking in the bushes for his ball, with his friends from College or with the ' ' Gang from Hamber ' ' . He thanks those who helped him along the way and wishes good luck to the grads of ' 88 in their future endeavors. In the future Joe hopes to enter U.B.C., Western, Mc¬ Gill, or a good university in the United States. ROBERT DANIEL GALSTER Rob came to VC in grade ten and has enjoyed being mellow having lunches at Mac ' s with K.M., B.E., K.S., and others. He remembers the night at the beach with K.M. but would like to forget the fateful night of basketball with B.E. He regrets being called a vegetable, blushing out of control whenever spoken to, and somehow never being able to make it on time - thanks for the notes C.P. After grad, he can be found listen¬ ing to U2, not having to be anywhere on time, and trying to forget the embarrassment of hav¬ ing to answer to L. Hauden. 107 STEPHEN JOHN O ' HAGAN GOEPEL RYAN EDWARD HARRIS SCOTT HARRISON Gopes has been coming to V.C. for seven years.

BRUCE DOUGLAS GRAHAM HARTNETT Hello there reader, my name is, was, and always has been Bruce. I came to Vancouver College in Grade eight. I joined many other new students in that year and together we made every grade the best. I would like to thank the rest of my graduating class for making Van¬ couver College the finest possible high school 1 could have gone to. To all the people who read this, I hope you have had or will nave as good a time in high school as 1 had. As for myself, while I was at the college I participated in all the ways I could; by playing football and volunteer¬ ing for the student council. In the future I am going to University to learn Architecture. After which I plan to build tall buildings in a single bound, faster than a speeding bullet. Thank you Vancouver College. 108 MICHAEL SEAN HYLANDS Mikey has travelled from the wooded slopes of West Vancouver for the past six years.

He would like to thank all the students ana teachers who had helped to make his adjustment to a new school easy. Tony has graced V.C. with his presence since he cruised in from Richmond in grade 8. While serving his sentence, he finally realized, Hey, there must be more to school than the hours be¬ tween 9 and 3. Tony was quite the handyman, always ready to help out with posters, in¬ tramurals, intramural posters, and various other activities. Those two times on the honour roll didn ' t quite satisfy him, and again he saw the light, so in grades 11 and 12 he joined the Soc¬ cer, Basketball, and Track teams as a manager, while earning his varsity letter in grade 11. As for plans for the future, Tony hopes to further his education in U.B.C. ' s Faculty of Science. 109 JOHN PAUL KERTI John came to Vancouver College in grade 8 from Bless¬ ed Sacrament Elementary School.

His message to them for the future: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER PETER M. KIM Peter (a.k.a. Blim, O ' Keefe, Sulu, Kimberly, Plato, Petri) has been attending Vancouver Col¬ lege since grade eight. When not immersed in incredible amounts of homework, he could be found attempting to play tennis, skiing the local mountains, playing pool, or watching rented movies with other C.C. members. Because of his dedication to his schoolwork, he was able to achieve honour roll status every term. After graduating from V.C., Peter plans to attend U.B.C. and become a part of the faculty of engineering. Eventually he plans to buy himself a Porsche 911 Turbo with choice mags. MICHAEL WILLIAM KOSUB Critter has been managing his wav to V.C. for the last 5 years, from various locations in Vancouver, with unreliable consistency.

Brad, Dave (Home away from home), Mike (Lighten up . . .), Ted (Why?), Rod (Son of Bud¬ dha), Keith, B.D., and all those annoying girls - you know who you are. For (on occasion) being there at crucial moments. And especially to D.B., R.S., M.V.R., and Admiral J.T.K., for consolation, opening his mind, and showing him what a human being is and what he can become. For the future Critter plans to form and follow a New Religion and do lots of rude things - Very rude things . . . Life is a sick feeling that never fully goes away, and a good feeling that never fully satisfies. ANDREW KISS Affectionately known as Sarge , Andy has been bouncing off the walls of V.C. since grade 8. In grade 12, he was an assistant-manager for the senior soccer team.

John came to us from S.F.X.; since then he has grown a great deal mentally, emotionally, and intellectually, but has yet to reach the towering height of 5 ' 5 . He has miracu¬ lously survived the past five years by carefully avoiding being trampled on. He has managed to become a photographer and one of the darkroom personnel for the yearbook. He even managed to take a picture. He can often be found - with the use of a microscope - at Q.E. park tennis courts, attempting to play tennis. John hopes to become a businessman in the future but his most immediate aspiration is to enter the Faculty of Commerce at U.B.C. S.S.. John would like to tell the grads of ' 88 to be careful out there; it ' s a mean world. Ill JOSEPH S.K. LAU RICKY WAI KEI LAU Joseph came to V.C. in grade seven from St. Francis Xavier school.

With memories of summer Wishers and winter dreams Which time can never change. MICHAEL JAMES LAWLESS Michael has been travelling the harrowing dis¬ tance from the depths of Lynn Valley for the past 5 years. His favourite classes have included avoiding Br. Rowland in Socials and History. Copying down many diagrammatical repre¬ sentations with Mr. Mackay proved very laborious, but his sailing stories and BOB lightened up the class. Algebra with Buck was the pits! And if he learns how to stand up properly he might be a teacher yet. After leav¬ ing V.C. Michael plans to enter the Navy and serve on the new frigates either by attending Royal Roads or by the officer entry pro gram at CFB Chilliwack. 113 RAYMOND LEE Raymond arrived at Vancouver College in 1985 and has been here for three years. His favourite teachers are Mr. Mackay, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Devenport, and the subjects Tie likes are Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and Algebra. He ' s pleased with his academic ac¬ complishment and really appreciates everything that the teachers have done for him. Moreover, he has participated in most of the activities at College. He now has a number of goals, such as entering the University of British Columbia, and becoming a qualified doctor. If he has the interest and the time, he will continue his stu dies and qualify as a surgeon. He knows that it will be hard to achieve these goals, but he will try his best. ROBERT ANTHONY LEE Rob has enjoyed making the scenic trek from sunny Richmond to V.C. for the past five years. He has been involved in every aspect of school life; achieving hon¬ our roll status in grade 8, participating in J.V. football, student council member, managing senior track and field as well as being the assistant editor of the Col¬ legian in his final two years.

After 8 years of strenuous brain usage, he is glad that he came through in one piece. Jose has been known to work, not for fame, but because of his sincerity.

And especially M.C. who put up with football for 2 years and who he will love forever. Unlike U2, Rob has found what he ' s looking for. DEAN MACLEAN Dean came to Vancouver College in Grade 8 from Sacred Heart School in Ladner. For the ast five years he has made the journey from sawwassen.

His future plans are to win a lottery. Failing that he wishes to attend U.B.C. GEOFFREY LAWRENCE JOSEPH K.F. MAK The years at V.C. were very memorable and educa¬ tional-according to Geoff or Yeff , who came to V.C. in grade eight from St. Joseph ' s College in Hong Kong. He spends most of his free time playing snooker, ten¬ nis, basketball, and video games. Yeff also enjoys listening to music (soft rock especially). During his stay at V.C. ne acted a bit weird sometimes (actually all the time) but he hopes that God will release him from the spell. After all ne thinks he ' s changed quite a bit in the 5 years at V.C. He decided not to participate in any sports at V.C. since the heartbreaking cut-off from the basketball team. Tennis? He ' ll think about it. In the future, he will continue his education at a university. He also hopes that he can meet a true friend instead of just acquaintances. Geoff would like to thank all the teachers that taught him and especially Mr. Farenholtz who taught him now to use syllogisms therefore logic. Finally, ne would like to dedicate this word to a long time acquaintance: flakes! ROBERT WILSON MACKIN JR. Known to his colleagues as Bob, and Robert to those who claim to posses a teaching degree, this enthusiastic and intelligent young man roamed the red carpeted halls of V.C. since 1982. Bob was not a 9 to 3 type; for if he was, he would have been 20 minutes late every day. Instead, he kept himself busy as editor-in-chief of The Voice, a proud member of the 1986 Var¬ sity Football team, a regular intramural participant, and even had a brief (5 minute) stint on the ping-pong team. Some fond memories include Mr. Kim ' s grade 7 class, Mrs. (Mavis) Davis ' double meaning art class in grade 9, The Grit , and going to the U2 and Cult concerts with Chicken , Doe-head , ana The Haz, Bob plans to pursue his passion for the written word by becoming a professional journalist. In both his forth¬ coming career as a scribe and in regular daily life. Bob will strive for (and he quotes The Edge, of U2) artistic and not com-, mercial goals. His personal credo, 1 think, therefore 1 am - outta here! dearly illustrates his satisfaction regarding gradua¬ tion. (One other thing: sorry, ladies, but marriage is out of the question.) 115 OLIVER ADRIAN MARTI Oliver has been attending V.C. for the past 6 years and has enjoyed most College life nas to offer. Despite his reputation with teachers that he talks too much, he has managed to stay ac¬ ademically inclined. While doing time at V.C. Oliver has spent much time participating in all areas of school sports. As a fan, Revilo, as he is known by some of his peers, would like to thank his fellow classmates as well as most of his teachers for making his long stav at Col¬ lege more memorable. Future plans include fin¬ ger painting, and if all else fails, he would like to attend University, hopefully Stateside. Oliver would also like to wish C.W., C.W., and P.B, all the best. To the graduates of 88 good luck and Reese ' s pieces! KEVIN W. MCELROY Propelled into an elevated state of consciousness {the runner ' s high) Kevin recalls his five years at Vancouver College: coming from O.L.P.H., partaking in five years of cross country and track, and receiving his varsity letter. A smile forms on his numbed lips as he bethinks the years on the track, dances (and the tackle of the week ,) the farm, and countless other memorable experiences at the College. Kevin is grateful to B.E. for the tip and everything else and to R.G. ski for continually amazing him with his talent for invisibility. As for the future, Kevin aspires to become a sanitary engineer, attend U.B.C., make a fortune, ana continue running; but probably not in that order. i i BRUCE MCLENNAN Brace has been at College for the last five years now. Throughout, he has been active in school life by participating on the V.C. swim team from grades 8-10 and the Varsity football team for his final two years. He would like to thank his friends and parents for all the great times in and out of school and for their fabulous support. Thanks to Mr. Canil as well for making the morning that much more interesting. Bruce will always be proud to be considered one of the boys’ ' of Br. Farrell ' s 11-1 homeroom. His plans for the future include becoming rich fast and liv¬ ing the high life. His favourite things include Gl. and nis mustang. JASON MCGILL Growing up in that fresh air, Jason has been making the long trek on the pony express from Ladner for the past 5 years. In his years of crawl¬ ing these halls, Jason has participated on the Varsity wrestling team and all aspects of school social life. He has survived the long weeks by not realizing until just recently that Monday was a school day. Following graduation Jason plans to purchase some small South American coun¬ try (on credit), preferably somewhere hot and sandy. In the unlikely event that this should fail he will probably have to go to university and get a job. He hopes to pursue a career in psychology, where he can mess with people ' s minds, or somewhere in the fashion industry where he can make people look really funny. He wishes the best to all V.C. grads of 88 and to the two C.W. ' s and P.B.. 116 ADRIAN ANDREW MCKENZIE Adrian has been travelling from far out Cres¬ cent Beach ever since grade 7. He has been ac¬ tively involved in V.C. athletics from the begin¬ ning of his stay until the end, participating in football, basketball, swimming and track and field. Adrian ' s academic status has never put him on the honour roll but it will have to do, as he plans to further his education down south in sunny California, where he hopes to continue on in football. Adrian will always remember be¬ ing a part of ihe mob mentality in Br. Far¬ rell ' s homeroom in grade 11-1. Adrian would like to thank his Mom and Dad and particular¬ ly his older brother Chris for warning nim about the dangers of the school life at V.C. (D.S.) JUAN PEDRO MEJIA I am, Juan Mejia. I came to V.C. in grade seven. Since then I have been elected for secretary treasurer three years in a row. I have been part of the yearbook staff, the book room staff, and have shown my spirit on all spirit days. I like bad jokes, grad pranks, and making computer programs. I hope to be recommended, win a couple of scholarships, pass grade twelve, and enter engineering at UBC or Uvic. The most im¬ portant thing I learned while at V.C. is that one should not wait but be patient. JASON JOHN MCKENZIE Jason came to VC in grade 8 from St. Anthony ' s School in West Vancouver. For the past 5 years, Jason has sur¬ vived the long and laborious trek from the top of the British Properties in West Vancouver. While at the Col¬ lege, he was actively involved in many aspects of school life, the most prominent of which was the ever popular ' nine-to-three type student club. ' He was the head of the Social Committee where he helped organize successful school dances and student coun¬ cil lotteries. Jason also acted as the head of the Dark Room Dept, for the school Yearbook. When not at school, Jason could be found at home studying hard so as to maintain his high level of academic achieve¬ ment. His future goals are to obtain an M.B.A. at UBC, and then to go out and take on th e business world. He would like to thank all the teachers and friends for making his stay a most enjoyable one, as well as Ricky Lau, who showed him how to get honours. The best of luck to the grads of 1988. FRANCO MICHIELLI Franco came to V.C. in grade 8 from Sir Mat¬ thew Begbie. In his stay at V.C. he participated with the Irish soccer team in grades 11 and 12 as a left winger.

MITCHELL Pat arrived at V.C. five years ago at the in- sistance of his parents. He slowly adapted to private school life and made it through the tough pre-grad years with the help of some ex¬ treme forms of music and lively friends. When not being told to get a haircut he spent his time playing guitar and creating intense noise with nis band. Pat plans to attend Columbia Academy of Recording Arts and work in the music business for life. JOHN-PAUL MORRISON John-Paul came to V.C. in grade seven, to the delight or more likely, the exasperation of his religion teachers. He has never supported any school teams (or any others for that matter) ana has been a nine to three type in everything ex¬ cept mathematics and computers. He is pleas¬ ed to announce that he has suppressed most of the traumatic memories resulting from grades seven to ten, particularly Brother Englis h; and that he won ' t have to block anything from grades eleven and twelve. John Paul would like to thank all his teachers from grades eleven and twelve for helping him to continue in his academic studies into engineering, particular¬ ly: Mr. J. Rogers, Mrs. Borovic, Mr. McKay and Mr. Devenport. V CHRIS MICHOLATOS Chris, the Richmond dyke fighter, came to V.C. in grade seven and met Adrian. Chris ' colour¬ ful personality is reflected in his nicknames: Micky, the Greek, and Psycho. The latter per¬ taining to his wrestling for which he was known for his unorthodox style. His wrestling partner was, of course, Adrian. Chris also participated in football and track and was famous for security at dances. Chris is intent on becoming a stockbroker and carrying on in the restaurant business. Chris spends his out of school hours working under tne tyranny of Alex (father) at Caesar ' s and searching Greater Vancouver for fun and excitement with his buddy Adrian (brother.) COLIN WILLIAM NAM In grade nine, Colin was given a choice. He could either go to Vancouver College, or the local public school. He chose the public, but was forced to come here anyway. That meant com¬ ing all the way from Tsawwassen every day, but that ' s OK because it was worth it just to meet some of the types of people at school, like RZ, the classic doorknob type. Among his closer friends, there ' s a system of: 1 buy you, you buy me, we buy him. Eg. Hey M.V., love those pants. Loved them last year. And the year before. And B.S. Hey B. how zit going? Glad to see you ' re back at school . . especially after seeing your front. To A.V., Holey_, what did you eat for breakfast? Hey uni. . . when you talk, can you turn your head away from me please? But seriously, all in all, it was a good four years. It ' s sad to think that the people he met and the friends he made will all split up and go their separate ways. So to all the teachers of Van¬ couver College ana all the grads of 1 88, Colin says . . . Good luck in your life and mayest thou succeedeth in all that thou doest. Colin 24:15 118 TREVOR NEIL NEWTON Trevor has been studying at V.C. since grade eight. An apt pupil, he has maintained a con¬ sistent honour roll standing for the past five years. A trip to France in grade nine provided many great memories. Trevor would like to thank Mr. Rogers, Mr. Freire, and Mr. Mackay for making classes more bearable. After graduating, Trevor plans to study at U.B.C. RICHARD NG These last five years have been a great ex¬ perience for Richard. He ' s had good times and bad times at the school, meeting interesting peo¬ ple, making new friends in V.C. and out. He leaves this school wishing luck to his fellow friends in the C.C. and to keep in touch. He gives special thanks to his closer friends in and out of school: J.P., J.L., P.K., and B.F. With him the class of ' 88 will be a memory that will live with him forever and ever. STEPHEN JAMES NOLAN Steve started school at Vancouver College in grade two, and has stayed with V.C. for most of the following eleven years. During his years at College, Steve ' s commuted from areas throughout the lower mainland, finally settling down across the street from the campus. He ' s managed to dabble in most aspects of school life including basketball, track and field, band, and yearbook, and has been a constant supporter of all the Irish teams. His favourite memory is go¬ ing to be the final exiting of College for good but he would like to thank Mrs Cheeseman, Mr Kim, and Brother Rowland for getting him started and keeping him going. Steve plans on attending U.B.C. and eventually becoming a surgeon. His thanks and best wishes go to his friends and all the grads of 88. RAY OLMA Ray has been at the College since grade 3. He has participated in Grade 8 basketball and has played in all fields of football and track, in which ne holds a school record in javelin. Ray can be found cruising in a Pacer with his friends Mr. T. and Mr. Z. Ray ' s future plans consist of be¬ ing an architect and designing cars in his spare time. He plans to continue his education on the East Coast. 119 JOHN PATRICK O ' REGAN Johnny O came to the College in grade 2. He is one of the very few 11-year-men. He cruis¬ ed through those years of elementary and high school. John made his last two years of high school productive as well as enjoyable and he plans to further his education at some univer¬ sity. He would like to thank those teachers, secretaries, friends and students for making his stay a pleasurable one. His enthusiasm was never dampened. He would also like to thank J.L.C. for influencing him to the extent that he did. ERIC J. PARIS Eric reluctantly came to V.C. in grade 8. He never participated in team sports but he did play in intramurals, occasionally, once in a while. Outside of school he enjoys skiing and soccer. His future plans are to go to University in On¬ tario. He hopes to become either a politician or a professional bus driver, for which he will take the same courses at University. If that fails he ' ll become a teacher. He had very few peeves about V.C., but he was annoyed by Computer Science Expectations. Eric will have many fond memories from V.C., and a few bruises from Br. Rowland ' s class. JAMES MURRAY PH1LLIPSON I arrived at Vancouver College on September 8th, 1986 for grade 11. This will be my second year here, and 1 have enjoyed being part of the school. 1 have found the students and teachers of Vancouver College to be, on the whole, bet¬ ter than the other schools 1 have attended. I ' m also glad I was able to spend my final years of high school here at V.C. As for my plans for the future, well 1 have managed to plan as far ahead as continuing school to get my degree in Business Administration. Finally I would like to wish my fellow graduates the best of luck and so long from Boris, or Casper. WARD A. PERVAN Swervin ' ' Pervan dropped into V.C. in grade 9 from New Zealand. The first thing he heard was Have you ever played football? Since then he has been actively involved in football, track and field, and the lettermans association. Wien not starting on offence and defence as number 72 - hey 72 Timea loves you - Ward can be found weightlifting, on the phone, or out with friends. He will never forget the times with his friends, the Billy Idol concert, dances, bounc¬ ing, harrassing teachers, and Timi. His future plans include a football scholarship to take him to university where he hopes to further his studies in business. 120 JOHN N.H. QUACH John came to Vancouver College in grade 6. His seven years at V.C. were fruitful and worth¬ while. He plans to continue his education either at U.B.C. or U.o.T. after graduating from V.C. He would like to thank all his teachers for their guidance, especially Br. Wood and Mr. Clayton. To all his friends, and the grads of ' 88, he wishes them all the best in the future. JOHN KILPATRICK REID John arrived at V.C. in grade seven, from Gilmore Elementary School in Richmond. Dur¬ ing his six years he has excelled in academics - achieving honour roll status every year. On the athletic side, Johnny survived a brief stint in track; but after coming to the abrupt realization that he was not born to sprint, J.R. has stuck exclusively to the hardwood. John has played basketball every year since arriving at College. He became a Letterman in grade 10 and served as president of the Lettermen in his final year. Special thanks to Br. English and Mr. Burke, who have helped him to get the most out of his College years. John hopes to go to universi¬ ty and study medicine, and if he makes a few million dollars probably still won ' t be satisfied. ADRIAN ROBERTSON Adrian, the West Van. Highlander, came to V.C. in grade seven where he met Chris. Names such as Adie, Rambo, Jungle Bunny, and the Puppy have been used to describe Adrian. He was a member of the Provincial Swim Team, track and wrestling team, where he was known for his barbaric style. Adrian was heavily involved in the Lettermen ' s Association (Vice-President) and student council (social committee) where he represented Vancouver College at several leader¬ ship conferences. Adrian wishes to carry on his studies at U.B.C. in the field of medicine and specializing in emergency surgery. Adrian can be found out of school hours working under the tyranny of Alex (Caesar ' s), with one of his ladies, or with his almost brother, Chris. MALCOLM HENRY REID Malcolm was sentenced to V.C. six years ago, only to be labelled the X-Man by a fellow cellmate, S.F. Since then, X has participated in track. Varsity Soc¬ cer, a most memorable grade 8 football team, and all levels of Basketball. Malcolm received his Varsity Let¬ ter and was voted on the Lettermen ' s Committee in his final year. X will be remembered for: his unusual means of transportation to school (in what most peo¬ ple just called The Reidmobile ), his love for the game of Basketball, and doing crazy things at football games to keep the Spirit of the Fighting I alive! Memories of College include: receiving a handful of sausages in the butt from Mr. Burke, trips to Kelowna, Seattle, Portland and Kamloops, and of course the in¬ tense game of tiddley-winks played in the parking lot with Gladstone in the Spring of ' 87. In the future Malcolm plans to make millions by joining Mr. Clarkson ' s band of Welfare bums and recei ving monthly cheques in the mail for doing absolutely nothing! 121 LOUIE ROTA While flipping through the pages of the Col¬ legian it becomes evident what Louie did best during his five year stay at V.C. From posters for basketball to caricatures of teachers, Louie loved to draw. But drawing wasn ' t his full time job. He also played for the V.C. varsity soccer team during grades 11 and 12 (of course he was Italian.) he went to dances, football games, basketball games, and everything that had to do with Vancouver College. He was proud to be a part of the excitement V.C. had to offer. Thanks for the laughs O squad. Good luck Grads of ' 88. Don ' t worry about me - I ' m go¬ ing to be one rich, little Italian. TIMOTHY JOSEPH FRANCIS SANDERS Chicken has been saving his time at V.C. for six long, hard years. Trekking from Whiterock everyday, Tim has spent half his life on the buses, and the other half waiting for them. His fondest memories include Bob Doug, Cheech and Chong, and tucking in his long hair when he didn ' t have his hair cut. He spends his precious time listening to good music, going to a good show, trying to play guitar, and chasing girls. His pet peeves are people trying too hard to be popular, and know-it-alls. Tim also enjoys losing his voice at Fighting Irish games. He could end up anywhere in the future, maybe university, but ladies, he ' s not getting married. He would like to thank his Mom for making the tastiest lunches every morning, his Dad for somehow paying his way, and anyone else who made his stay doubly meaningful. Amen. JASON ANDREW ROBINSON Jason has been attending V.C. since grade 10 and has commuted from Whiterock (not Surrey) each day for the past three years. He would like to thank everyone who made his stay so memorable ana wishes them luck in the future. After graduation he plans to attend College to expand his knowledge. Let ' s reflect on that. ANTHONY JOHN LUKE RUSSELL Anthony came to V.C. from the depths of Oakville, Ontario in grade two and is therefore one of the rare 11 year men. In grade ten he moved to Richmond and is still proud to call it home. Anthony played football from grade 8 to 10 and wrestled in grades 8 and 9. For this he earned his J.V. Letter. After that he joined the yearbook staff and was named editor. He was editor once again this year and is pleased to pre¬ sent this radically different book. Anthony will have fond memories of grade six with Br. Con¬ ti, setting off faulty smoke alarms, and playing baseball in the yearbook room with Rob, Carlo, and Mark. Anthony will be remembered for his humoristic pieces of art and his poems - in¬ cluding the Clarkson Shuffle. In the future he plans to attend the University of Victoria and then lead a life of espionage and intrigue. 122 HEINZ ALEXANDER SCHWARTZ Heinz first came to Vancouver College in grade 7 from Lord Kitchener elementary school in Van¬ couver. When not working or stuyding, Heinz enjoys listening to music, playing the clarinet, playing tennis, using computers or skiing. He has been playing the clarinet for six years and has been a member of the Beefeater Band and has been involved in the school band through¬ out his stay. In the future he plans to attend U.B.C., most likely in the field of Engineering. Heinz also thanks his parents for their support and help over the years. JAMES GARY SCOTT Jim arrived at VC in 1983 and has been com¬ muting from Tsawwassen for the past 5 years. He has participated in various clubs throughout his stay and has coached the Fighting Irish swim team for the past two years. When not study¬ ing, Jim can be found soaring above the clouds in a Cessna-152. Other interests include skiing, cycling and lifeguarding. His immediate plans are to attend Royal Roads Military College or UBC and eventually pursue a career in aviation. Jim would like to thank the teachers of VC for their support over the past years and wish all his fellow graduates the best of luck in their futures. SIMON N. SCULLY Simon, after moving to Canada from Malaysia, attended Immaculate Conception elementary for 7 years before entering V.C. in grade 8. During his stay he played grade 8 football. After an early retirement to play hockey in grades 9 and 10, he returned to play on the offensive line for the Varsity Squad. Simon ' s fond memories are Air Band ' 87, playing quarters at J.D. ' s, Kamloops football trips with J.P.D. and B.M., being strand¬ ed on the Squamish highway with P.F. ' s fire¬ bird, but most of all being a member of Br. Far- rel ' s homeroom (11-1). In the future, Simon hopes to continue playing football, get filthy ricn, marry a certian blonde haired girl (L.D.) and move to a deserted island in the Bahamas. In closing, Simon would like to thank his parents for standing by him throughout the years, and he woula like to wish all the best to the grads of ' 88. LEO W. SEEWALD III Rev. Leo has been attending V.C. depuis six ans, and don ' t think it hasn ' t been a little slice of heaven. He would like to congratulate all of his fellow grads and hopes they all pass. Leo also wishes to express his gratitude to all his teachers, in particular, Mr. R.C., who has in¬ spired and given meaning to our lives. To con¬ clude, Leo only wishes to clarify his desire to be controversial in a quote taken from Edward Gibbon, There is only one thing worse than the man who will argue over anything, and that ' s the man who will argue over nothing . 123 MARK JOHN SEMEINS Mark came from the deep dark depths of Richmond to attend Vancouver College. His scholastic career at V.C. began in grade 8 where he has found memories. The first 5 months of secondary school life for Mark was the absolute worst situation Mark has ever been in. However, he soon overcame this giant obstacle and started to contribute to the activities offered at V.C.. In grade 9 Mark played for the basketball team and in grade ten he managed the J.V. basketball team. In his fourth year at V.C. Mark tried his hand as the finan¬ cial director of the yearbook. Here he has to reflect upon the life of his good friend Desmond Steeldrum Banana. In grade 12 Mark played for the varsity soc¬ cer team. Mark would like to thank all his friends for their support throughout the years but especially his parents for their love and giving. Upon graduation Mark plans to run across Vancouver naked, join a monastery and take a vow of silence. This should be ample training for Mark ' s dream to become a sheepherder in the mountains of Europe. GORDON SETO Gordon, generally known as Brinsley or Gar by his fellow cohorts, came to Vancouver College in his pursuit of daily ex¬ istence. In this pursuit he stumbled upon the field of sports. In time he would trade in his Top-Siders for cleats in order to perform upon the football field, which he endured for a year. Basketball and volleyball held his interest for their duration but still his interest remained firmly in sailing. The America ' s Cup, bien sur. His pet peeves are groupies who claim to love U2 but can ' t seem to recall one song sung by the group, and people who can ' t spell U2. His secret desire involves showing up at L.L. Bean in the middle of the night and having his picture taken in front of the canoes downstairs. Aspirations include member¬ ship in Yale ' s secret society Skull and Bones , the answer to the Caramilk Secret, and the removal of any mode of transpor¬ tation requiring exact change. He wishes good luck and pro¬ sperity to the fillk entering Commerce, and disaster and calamity to those entering the Sciences and Engineering. All except Stephen Dee, who will eventually wind up being hired by Ricky Lau and remaining his personal slave (until Ricky retires with his $100,000,000 at age 36). ()K.) Gordon was also known as the backbone and the compelling force behind the ‘CHINESE CONNECTION . He leaves behind his words of wisdom: You might not be first, but you can always be next! MARTIN J. SHEN The two things we never have enough of - time and space - are infinite - C. Thomson. Martin came to the College in grade 7, through the greatly appreciated introduction from Mr. Stack. In his 6 years he has joined such rough sports as tennis and the soon to be formed (and ever popular) badminton team. He also participated on the Student Council for 5 years, the math club, and joined the yearbook in his final year at V.C. Over the 6 years, he has made many friends and has gone through such weird experiences as the Volvo Sprawl and the Seymour Street laps. Thus, he would like to thank both his friends and teachers for making his stay at V.C. an enjoyable one. After graduation, he plans to watch T.V. until it is time to report for duty at U.B.C. in the field of sciences. He would like to wish Biff and the C.C., J.Q., D.K., G.C., T.L., A.B. and all the Grads the best of luck in the years to come. P.S. The profundity of the quote in no way reflects the easy-going lifestyle Martin leads. It just sounded cool. BILL SHERRITT Bill has been forced to attend VC since grade 7. He thoroughly enjoys having onlv boys for classmates because it is so much tun. His misses his ex-classmates, C.W., C.W., and P.B., but still has fun making a mess of the parking lot with, M.V., C.N., R.O., R.Z., R.D., O.M., B.M., J.O., J.D., J.M., A.M., D.T., T.B., S.S., M.S., S.F., J.M., S.K., A.D., K.K., P.F., andJ.B.

His future plans include going to U.B.C. where he will enter the faculty of science. When not hitting the books or practising something Trevor can be found sleeping, eating, weightlifting, try¬ ing to ski, hanging out in Surrey with Kick 4 , strolling around Richmond, walking through Stanley Park looking for George, and bumming around with the gang. MICHAEL FREDRICK SHUMAS Mike came to V.C. in grade 8 from St. Andrew ' s elementary school, Vancouver. While attending V.C. he took part in the band, racquetball club, and most importantly, was there when the Fighting I ' s football and basketball teams needed support at their games. Mike ' s hobbies include racquetball, weightlifting, tennis, golf, and most of all trying to meet girls. He can be found in the racquetball courts during most of his free time, and hopes that it will pay off in the future. He will remember all his teachers who have made his stay at V.C. more than enjoyable, and will also remember the library staff who will most likely remember him. After graduation, Mike plans to attend V.C.C., turn pro in rac¬ quetball, and then who knows what. Again, he would like to thank the super staff of V.C., and most of all his parents wno patiently stood behind him, and made it all possible. KEITH A. SIDDALL Keith has been coming to V.C. for 5 years, at least to the best of his knowledge. His memories of the past, though vague, tend to be basically good, due to his immense popularity. He has survived and learned much from his sordid ex¬ perience of the last five years, and has matured into a well-bred skid , as his friends call him. His future plans are to go into partnership with Mr. Sponza and manufacture undershirts. He would like to thank all the members of the P.F. for some extremely memorable times, especial¬ ly the marathon men, A.A. and J.R. Quotes: Albatross - Monty Python Let ' s reflect on that - A. A. DAMON DARNELL STEPHEN TAYLOR Damon arrived at V.C. in grade 12 after spend¬ ing time at St. Thomas More. While attending V.C. he competed in Football and Track.

ALEX C.Y. TSANG GEORGE TSANG Alex has been in Vancouver College since grade 8, and now must leave and search for his future.

How far I go, Depends on me! 126 MARK VAN PYKSTRA Mark has been coming to V.C. since grade 6 all the way from Tsawwassen. Although you will never get him to admit it, he has enjoyed his stay. In the winter you can find Mark on the slopes and in the summer, on the beach. Mark would like to thank his parents for their sup¬ port over the last 12 years. In the future Mark plans to attend law school. EDWARD VON DEHN Three abstract ideas are molded by one. It is thought then locked away, never to be rearranged nor disputed. At different times throughout our lives, we are affected by the world ' s ideals from every angle. But it ' s the people who really meant something, they are the ones who shape our past. At last I know something now, but the more I know, the more there is. My feared society can be created, wnen the future is neglected. And without the instantaneous moment of conception, our past will cease to build. Why we conceive our future in an abstract non-recordable moment, is why we believe things can be changed. Why not, it ' s only time. (Excerpt from a poem by Roland Sehgieger.) EDGAR ALLEN URSUA Allan, or Eddy, came to V.C. in grade 8 from Blessed Sacrament Elementary school, Van¬ couver. Struggling to get out of bed every morn¬ ing, Allan would head for school from sunny Richmond to study diligently (or tried to). Not a nine to three type, he was involved in foot¬ ball gr. 8-10, track, student council and was an avid supporter of the Irish basketball team. Future plans include finally moving out of the house (just kidding mom) and furthering his education. Alan would like to thank hisparents who cared enough to send him to V.C. (even though he objected to it at first) and the teachers who made his stay most enjoyable. MICHAEL J. VINT Mike arrived at V.C. in grade 8, not really understanding what he was getting into; sim¬ ply doing what he was told and listening to his brother, who was already attending V.C. Mike adjusted to the V.C..lifestyle, as you could tell since his name was so well known in the office. Yet some others never really got settled in and it took them 3 years to finally realize that V.C. was not for them. Michael studied hard, played intramurals, and weight-lifted in the bunker. Michael ' s future plans include going to U.B.C. and receiving a degree in the art of dentistry. If that fails he would like to be a tallyman on a South American dock. “Come Mr. Tallyman, tally me banana! 127 STEFAN VON DEHN Stefan came to the College in grade 8 from Our Lady of Perpetual Help and has enjoyed all Col¬ lege life has to offer. Lie has participated on the V.C. soccer and tennis teams, and has enjoyed being part of the cheering section at the foot¬ ball and basketball games.

He thanks all his friends for his pleasurable stay here. Party on, grads of ' 88! TREVOR WRIGHT 128 CARLO ANTONIO YLAGAN Carlo came to College in Grade 10 to escape a boring California lifestyle. Since that time he has excelled in both academics and athletics. He has been a proud member of the Fighting Irish Var¬ sity Football Team for the last two years. In the near future.. Carlo plans to attend U.B.C. or return to California for his post-secondary education. Although he is unsure of exactly what courses of study to follow, engineering is, hopefully, a possibility.

GREG EDWARD ZOWTY Greg arrived at Vancouver College in Grade 8 from St. Augustine ' s Elementary School. He hasn ' t been able to get involved with many school activities because the majority of his spare time is consumed by working part-time at a veterinary clinic. Some interests of his include high diving, golfing, dancing, and karate. As Greg leaves V.C. he would like to thank his lov¬ ing parents, amiable teachers, and especially Mrs. Borovic (who had to endure two years of him) for their help in motivating him to succeed. I must say my stay here was a pleasant one; I learnt a lot. Greg wishes all his friends the best of luck in whatever they plan to do. Hopefully I will see some of them again in the near future. Greg plans to enter U.B.C. with a good academic standing and further his educa¬ tion in the field of Computer Science. 129 WALKATHON The 1987 Walkathon was again a tremendous suc¬ cess.

There is Elementary, Intermediate, Concert, and Stage Band. All of these levels hold at least two concerts per year. Our Stage and Concert Bands compete in many music festivals both as a group and soloists. Every year these boys do well in competition, and for the second time in three years our Stage Band has been invited to the Cana¬ dian National Jazz Band Festival.

On Wednesday, March 16, National Liberal Par¬ ty Leader, John Turner, visited Vancouver College on invitation from the Social Studies department. Mr. Turner made a brief speech in praise of the democratic process and encouraged students with sufficient talent to become involved in the process. He said that democracy needs you. After his speech, Mr. Turner fielded many well thought out questions, ranging from his views on the plight of Canada ' s aged, to his stance on the purchase by Canada of nuclear submarines. Of course, the two big issues, Meech Lake, and Free Trade, were discussed as well. The experience was invaluable to all those who had the chance to meet with Mr. Turner this day. 145 LITURGICAL SERVICES Five times in the school year the community of Vancouver College, now numbering over 1000 per¬ sons, gathers to worship God in the name and Person of Jesus. At the beginning of the school year we place ourselves anew under the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit; during Advent and Lent we celebrate the great mysteries of our faith; in May we honour the women whose nurturing love continues to enable Vancouver College members to grow in age, wisdom, and grace ; and we complete our school year by reminding our graduates that they remain closely united with us in spirit even after they move on to other pursuits. Through this very oneness in community we celebrate in our mass. Our communi¬ ty liturgy of worship reflects the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as we move into the 21st cen¬ tury. And we leave our celebration with the mission of Christ freshly planted in our spirits: Go in peace, to love and serve. May it always be so. Parent ' s Association Fashion Show 1988 The Fashion Show was held in March this year at Oakridge. The theme was “Spring 88“ with all proceeds going to Vancouver College. The event was rather special with music entertainment provided by members of the Vancouver Symphony. Wine and Hors-D ' oeuvres were served to the audience which included several local celebrities and members of the media. 147 148 The Social Committee, comprised of Allan Frankland, Jason MacKenzie, and Brad Bentz, took pride in organizing several successful dances this year. There were dances at Christmas, Hallowe ' en, Spring, and also for the odd Friday. Many different schools were in attendance including L.F. A., St. Pat ' s, Marion High, S.T.M. and Crofton House. Good Luck to next year ' s social committee in any of their ventures. 1. The Siamese Twin Watoosie. 2. Sometimes I get this ringing in my ears after I stand next to the speakers too long. 3.

This was the first year back into the Public School league, and the team finished the year with an impressive 9 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. This was an unofficial first place, because the games were counted as exhibition only. The Irish defended their title as Independant League Champions as well, downing St. Pat ' s 5-1 in the final. It ended up with Gladstone having first place in the league. Strong play this year came from Captain Craig Chainsaw Chiasson, who had 9 goals, and from assistant cap¬ tain Franco Maradonna Michielli, who had 6 goals. Good perfor¬ mances also came from Chris Puglia Cocco in goal, Stefan Von Dehn, David Morais, and John Peterson in the midfield, and from Mark Rethy, Nick Marchi, and Malcolm X Reid on defense. A special thank-you goes out to Mr. Devenport, Tony Ivancic, Andrew Kiss, and Senior players Chris Cocco, Stefan Von Dehn, Kevin Cockell, Paolo Bongo, Louie Rota, San Kurianparambil, and Mark Semeins for their contribu¬ tions, and a round of applause for all the fans, especially Kevin McElroy, Ted Von Dehn, Br.

Reports say that this team played great defensive basketball by the end of the year. The varsity team of 1991 promises to be an excellent one, provided the players work extremely hard during the off-season.

Despite the availability of individual talent, the team was not able to work as a unit and lacked the necessary intensi¬ ty and speed, essential for competitive play. This, combin¬ ed with a series of injuries, prevented the team from achieving its potential. As a result, the team finished league play with a record of 3 and 3. The overall record for the season was 9 and 18.

The 1987-88 edition of the Varsity Fighting Irish was a hard working and exiting team. They finished the season with a 5-1 record in league play highlighted by a 5 point win and one point overtime win over arch rival STM Knights. The team had a good lower mainland tournament with two convincing wins and one difficult loss to No. One ranked Richmond. In the provincial championships at the Agrodome, the Irish and their loyal fans represented Van¬ couver College in fine fashion. After destroying L.V. Rogers of Nelson 116-70, the Irist went on to defeat No. Two ranked Oak Bay to make the Final Four. Unfortunate¬ ly they lost a heartbreaker to Seaquam in the semi-finals. However, they rebounded the next day to dominate a strong Alberni squad and capture third place overall. The team should be remembered as a great defensive team which set a standard of hard work and commitment that will be an example for future teams to emulate. The entire Vancouver College community is very proud of the job you have done and we congratulate you for a very successful season. 169 — j yL. ' • QV?JL SSM.‘ 1 1 170 f-y Im 1.

High School Intramural pro¬ gram is to provide leisurely athletic competition for those students who, for some reason, cannot, or will not par¬ ticipate in the major school sports. The alternative nature in choice of sport attracts students, as the program offers indoor soccer, basketball, volleyball, and street hockey. The grade 8 ' s, 9 ' s, and 10 ' s compete as homerooms, while the grade ll ' s and 12 ' s form four separate teams. Schedul¬ ing allows for a regular season and playoffs with grade level trophies and certificates of Intramural Achievement for championship team members at stake. One added feature of the intramural program is the so- called MATCH OF THE CENTURY, in which the staff engages the students in basketball and indoor soccer with pride at stake, of course.

GET INVOLVED 179 % m 180 181 THE STUDENT COUNCIL Vancouver College has had a student council for many years, but only in the.last two years, with the introduction of the constitution of the Student Council, has its function been clearly defined. This has allowed recent councils to run more smoothly and efficiently. The council is made up of an executive council comprising the of¬ fices of president, vice-president, and secretary treasurer. There were several committees on the council such as the grad and social committees. This year ' s president was Edward (Ted) Von Dehn, the vice president was Wesley Fong, and the secretary treasurer was Roberto Garcia. The grad committee president was Martin Ertl, and the social committee leader was Jason McKenzie. There were several dances sponsored by the student council, as well as guest speakers like John Turner and Molly Kelly. The 2nd annual car rally was also put on by the student council this year. 184 GRAD COMMITTEE FRONT ROW: (L TO R) Martin Ertl. BACK ROW: (L TO R) Andy Nathanson, Jason McGill, Paul Fraser, Ricky Lau.

Every year, students from grade 7 to 12 are encouraged to join the Collegian staff. The Collegian is the yearbook for Vancouver College. It is a large production, which takes many hours after school for most of the year. The Collegian usually consists of 200-250 pages, with about 60 colour pages. This makes it the largest secondary school yearbook in Western Canada. To keep this standard up, the yearbook must raise between 25-o0 thousand dollars every year. Funds come in from personal sponsors, adver¬ tising, picture sales, and book sales. There are four main areas which students can take part in: layouts (designing the book), darkroom (developing pictures), photography (taking pictures), and finance (fund raising ancl basic accounting). Every year there is an executive staff and there were a few new faces on this year ' s executive. The staff this year was comprised of Anthony Russell (editor), Robert Lee (assistant editor layouts). Carlo DeMello (financial direc¬ tor), Jason McKenzie (darkroom head), and Jonathan Chow (head photographer). The moderator for the book was Mr. Bruce McKay and the financial moderator was Mr. Carlos Freire. 186 1. The 1988 Collegian Staff. 2. Alex and Mar¬ tin taking dictation. 3. That does it! I quit!

Once again this years editor was Robert Mackin. He and a small, yet competent staff reported on infor¬ mative, humourous, and important local and world issues.
