As the year draws to a close there arc z number of occasions when I and others contemplate the task of sum- marizing the whole great mass of events and accomplishments that has been this school year. So many students, so many successes large and small, and so little space. Ard every year, V/Vaf accepts this task an( does it so admirably.

The Junior School, Middle School and Senior School all have so many opportunities for the students to display their various interests and talents. Occasions such as our whole school concerts, or the Christmas assembly, allow every- one in the school to get a sense of the sweep of experiences that our students are involved in. This book is a record of that sweep of experiences, in more detail, and in greater breadth.

It has been a year when our sense of community has come to the fore on a number of occa- . sions. In the aftermath of cata-

f J strophic world events last Sep- p« tember, our students, teachers, parents and alumni all had their moments of leaning on this diverse, embracing community which is ours. At the other end of the spectrum, our Spring Fair, which brought together so many families, students, faculty and staff inspired so many positive feelings of support and good cheer that it was impossible to go away from the day without a smile.

I want to thank the students and faculty who spend many unsung hours putting together this book. It is a wonderful piece of work that you produce, and we are grateful for it.

Vivat!

Well, here is the reason I took this job. I get a whole two pages to voice all my

opinions, slander anyone I choose, and write as much controversial material

as I can think of. I figure it is my editorial right. Actually, I don't really know why

I took this job except for the fact that no one else would do it, really. The first

time I sat down in the editorial chair, I realized that we had not missed one, two but actually three consecutive deadlines

and were set to receive the books sometime in November (this of course, was with the delusion that something was going

to get done). Today, these two pages are all that we have left to finish in this 233-page publication - and I can honestly

say that I have had something to do with every single one of them. On this note, of course, if you find that we have misidentified you somewhere, or you find a couple of spelling mistakes, or a photo that hasn't been cropped properly I would like to extend a heartfelt "sorry" (with a small 's') - keep in mind, this really is harder than it looks. To all my friends, thanks for helping out with all and any menial tasks and keeping me company in the Yearbook room. Ms.

Worth, thanks for your guidance and for never doubting that we could finish this (haha). And Peege, my o

^^^ trusty steed, you know I could not have done this without you (that's right, it's all about ->/\.

f%^ the sparkling conversation). All the same, I hope you enjoy the book and that ,, v,# ^ | ^

'S. a B y/^ ^ it has captured something of the year for you to look back on. ■< ^( ^ 9

Acknowledgements:

This year, the yearbook has had more than its share of catastrophes. You would not be sitting there, carelessly flipping pages without the hard work of the yearbook crew. Considering the sheer size of this publication, there were surprisingly few people who put it together, and I would like to extend a huge thanks to all of them. DK who got us off on the right foot. Ann, Lavinia and all those hours with that 'expletive* grad section and everything else. Deanna, Claire, Kasim, Jaime and the borderline loss of sanity when it came to finding pictures for the middle school. Liz, Amanda and the junior school (enough said). Chantal, Clarence and the artsy part of this book. Evan and his single-handed mastery of photos. All the minions (Alex, Jimmy, Beckie, Whitney, Mike, Kaz, Jav, Vicky, Ash, yo mama etc) for all their moral support. And of course, PJ who did nothing... absolutely nothing (except for all the graphics in the entire book).

On a more serious note, a huge thanks to Ms. Worth for keeping us in line; to Mr. Humphries, Mr. Marchand and Mr. Jackson for their support with photography; to our school computer technicians, Mr.Przybylski, Mr.Ross and Mr.Archer for continuously increasing our account space; to Ms. Card, Sandra Moore, Janice Iverson, and the accounting department.for their support; and our Junior and Middle School Coordinators Diana Nason and Connie Booth respectively for keeping the lines of communication open.

I Wish

By Robyn Hope, 4G

I wish I could own a farm

So I could have a horse.

I would saddle myself up.

So the horse could ride me, of course.

The horse would put me in a stable With cows, a chicken and a hen. If 1 could not get out. I would sleep in a pen.

By Taylor Moon, 5H

Tight, tight, pull, pull And aiound the hooks and tie a bow

I had just tied my skates So I walked up all the

stairs and took off my guards, I stepped on the ice one foot at a time Then glided off,

I felt excitement being on the ice again First the lesson, I can always hear the edges of my coach coming up behind me. But not today, so it's just me And the ice I spinned and twirled and looped and for my sui-prise, I heard the zambonie honked so it Was time to get off I put on my guards and went downt the stairs And took off my guards.

If My Face Were Outer Space:

By Jeffery Miller, Grade 3

My head is Jupiter, fiery hot with an enormous spinning storm.

My eyes would be moons with craters deep.

My eyebrows would be spitting, shouting stars.

My mouth would be a black hole sucking up the Milky Way.

My forehead would be a rockship going to the moon.

My ears would be satellites, looking at Jupiter.

My teeth would be craters drifting in space.

My nose would be an astroid belt heading for Earth.

The Beach

By Claire Mackenzie

I hear loud waves crash against the shore 1 see a million seagulls maybe more I scoop up sand into my palms and let it run through my fingers

I smell salt from the sea, a scent that always lingers I balance on rocks that have been washed to shore by the tide I build a sand castle with tall towers and pebbles on each side

I feel a salty breeze blow through my hair The beach is full of tr^quillity. a beauty that is rare.

Sea Otter

By Elizabeth Fenje, grade 5h

As I stare into the sea so dark and blue. All of a sudden bubbles appear. Rippling our boat"s retlection. A little sea otter pops his head out of

the water with a "splash." But he also has a rock and a clam in his paws. As I sit frozen with interest, he turns onto his back and starts to crack open his shell, "Click, Click, Click." Then with a final "bang!"

It falls apart, with one swift motion He gobbles up the inside. "Slurp!" Then he dives down and picks up another one. Over and over again.

Triatlilons

Nathaniel Reid, 4J

By Scott Dallen, 4D

Transition is hard to learn

Running long distances

I did 5 major triathlons last year

At transition you can lose a lot of time

Transition time is critical

Hydration is very important

Losing 1 event could lower your confidence

Only determination and practice gets you to

the finish line

Needs lots and lots of training

Swimming, sweating, satisfaction

By Ross Prager, 4D

In the pocket,

I go along

Musky smells and darkness

Hand is lifting, up I go

Balanced on stub, ready to go

Feels like a barstool

Wind is rushing

Bang. I'm hit

Flying higher and higher

Dimples catch the air

What can I see, what can I do

Suddenly thump, I land on a green patch

Scmed ready to be hit again

Voice says "What a good shot"

Plunk in the hole I go.

Dinosaurs

By Emma Donald, Kindergarten

There were no dinosaurs when people were alive!

But how do scientists know about dinosaurs?

How do scientists know how big dinosaurs' brains were?

You might have seen a cartoon on TV that was about dinosaurs. "You might think that people were alive when dinosaurs were alive", said Emma. "But they werenlj!"

Just imagine the world With dinosaurs. I couldn't imagine the world with dinosaurs on earth!

Serenity - Based on "The fall of the Cowboy"

By Kate Peiffer. grade 5J

The horses' s hooves crunched into the new fallen snow as the horses moved toward the gate. There was serenity as the men slowly and quietly tied up the creatures, A light breeze was blowing as a blanket of darkness fell o\ er the farm. Then the horses lay down to sleep, the men left, and everything was peaceful.

The Ghost Town

Based on "View of Toledo"

By Ben Effa, grade 5J

Thunder booms in the ebony sky.

A bolt of brilliant lightning cracks through the

Sky. sending light across a desolate city.

Darkness reigns.

In the next flash, a deserted

City can be seen.

Clinging to the over-grown

Hillside, the old city sits

Crumbling, year after year.

A palace sits in ruins,

Its walls breaking down to blocks

Of ancient marble. A screaming wind

Blows through the luscious trees.

Rustles through the wild untamed undergrow lli.

Tragedy has struck this city.

Hallowe'en

The autumn leaves were colours of red and orange.

The little rows of cottages had sweet smells

Of freshly baked pumpkin pie drifting out of the windows.

The scarewcrow stcmds still on the pumpkin patch.

It's Hallowe'en, that's all he knows.

mM

Kids of all ages dress up in funny little clothes.

When night time falls, they run around in the neighbourhood.

With candy sack in one hand and flashlight in the other.

They have no worries, but one. their mother.

She stands there waiting, annoying them with her presence.

When their tummies are full and they're pleased, they go to their beds.

With the scan visions of monsters prancing around in their heads.

That's it folks, nothing to see there.

I'm just telling you the tale of the Hallowe'en scare!!

Grade Seven girls' volleyball team had a successful season in their league play placed fourth in the final tournament. Congratulations girls on your improved . wonderful enthusiasm and sportsmanship.

This year, our girls' volleyball team took a few weeks to "gel"" and settle into a regular commitment to the team and to the sport. However, once we got into our season in October, the girls enjoyed themselves as their skills developed. By the end of the season, in spite of remaining w inless. the team had shown significant personal and group improvement. Some members even had the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the game by helping w ith scorekeeping for a Junior Girls" Volleyball tournament in the Senior School. Congratula- tions on your individual developments, girls!

STRINGS

Our string ensembles started a new year under the baton of Mr. Trevor Jones, who took Mrs. Smith's place for the year while she took a leave of absence to be with her husband in Kuala Lumpur. Mr. Jones, a veteran strings teacher for 30 years in Victoria public schools, enjoyed a busy and productive year with our string students. Reviewing old skills and learning new skills was first on the year's agenda. A grade seven and eight string ensemble played for one of the first chapel sei"vices, and later in December, performed for the Middle School Carol Service. Then the grade eight strings joined the grade fours for the grade fours' debut concert at the Junior School assembly on Novermber 28. The grade eights along with a number of grade sices and sevens performed very successfully at the tradi- tional noon hour concerts at Chateau Victoria (December 7). and then at the Ocean Pointe Resort (December 12).

The second half of the year included two assembly concerts at the Junior School, one given by the grade six strings (February 26) and one by the grade seven strings fFebruai^ 6). to which parents and friends were invited. >ca«j«>i

The Grade 7 Intermediate Band performed at the Junior School with students demonstrating some of the instruments to the younger children. The annual SMUS Middle School Spring Concert took place at the University of Victoria involving even' student in Middle School in string ensemble , band imd^Micert Choir. The Evening of Jazz followed with School Stage Band joining with the Junior and Senior Jazz Bands and Vocal Jazz from Senior School in performance.

The year concluded with our Closing Ceremonies being held this year at the MacPherson Playhouse. Wind players from the Honour Band joined w ith the members of the Cross- Grade strings to form the Middle School Orchestra for this event.

Today is a day of celebration, a day marking a new era for the 2002 graduating class. Looking back, our days at SMUS were full of unforgettable memories... Though I was not a lifer — I remember vividly the day we stepped into the shiny halls of middle school as a bunch of bratty nobodies, looking real innocent and lost. We were instantly granted responsibilities with lockers and complicated sched- ules, as well as the title of being a middle schooler. We created artifacts for Egyptian night, had blast - literally! - in the huge school watertight on the fields, and experienced the joys and sorrowi of art class, among other things. With no desire of slowing down, we barged our way onto th( senior school scene. First arriving in grade nine, we were astonished by the amount of freedom in high school. Though the classes were larger and more demanding, we were presented with ^ great deal of academic and extracurricular choices, such as science electives, CAP program, etc| that eventually guided us to our interests and passions. Our years at senior school have been awesome. We strutted our stuff at the fashion show, had an awesome midnight skate, and put together a wonderful rendition of South Pacific. We will never forget the joys of lounging on sunny days in the quad, or simply hanging out in Challoner. Regardless of whether we were kicking back in the library or kicking soccer balls during spares, life at SMUS was in full motion. Ours is a diverse class with students from all over the world, from the gulf islands to Big brother down south, from southeast Asia to Slovakia, with a multitude of different cultures and interests. We learned from each other, sharing our strengths and weaknesses. We have built strong bonds of friendship which will last a lifetime. Our class has come a long way, producing national science and math competition winners. Besides academics, our class features national and provincial sports players, accomplished musicians, and wonderful outdoor leaders. Our class has well-versed essayists, talented actors and actresses, and even a geography champ! But we could never have come this far without the loving support of oui parents and the strong guiding influence of our teachers. They have taught us to pursue our dreams with passion. They have patiently endured our incessant parade of questions and numerous (stupid) mistakes. Their commitment to us, we will never forget. As Jacqueline Schiff said, "Travel the road that you have chosen and don't look back with regret. You have to take chances to make your dreams happen." Our future is full of opportunities; our options limitless, and potentials immeasurable. Now we are hopping off the senior school bandwagon to take long strides forward. We, the graduating class of 2002, will always have our friends, teachers, and SMUS to rely on. Through our blood, sweat, and tears, we have struck gold, the granddaddy of all prizes: graduation! To fellow grads, thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak, and best wishes to you all!

It is by no means an easy task to sum up the wealth of unique talent, warmth and richness of personality that the 1 34 unforgettable people sitting before you possess. Forthe last twelve years, I have had the pleasure of being a part of the growth of this class, in both maturity and numbers. Our final high school year in particular has seen a lot of individual successes. With the introduction of our new school mascot. The Blue Jaguars, we have left behind a banner to hang in the new gym in the hope that it will help kindle enthusiasm and growth of school spirit in future spectators and athletes. Our days here at SMU, whether it's been 12 years or 12 months have been spent collecting stories of sorts. It seems that life so far has been a continuous chain of unexpected events. It's hard to imagine as a wide-eyed and carefree kindergartener the long, sometimes chaotic, sometimes serendipitous, but always exciting path we would endure to be standing here today. All the laughs, tears and stories we created along the way are the essence who we Yes, it is the end of a chapter in our lives. No more mad dash Slurpee runs, or rainy lunchtimes crowed in the tuck shop and hallways of Challoner. It's the end of the thrilling out-trips where so many stories and friendships were built. And, with a sigh of relief we have had our last 2400-meter run! Now, as we all disperse across the globe, gathering enough air miles I'm sure to circle the earth more than a couple of times, we will all begin a new chapter, and we are more than prepared to face whatever challenges we will encounter. We owe a huge part of our preparation to the people who filled our inquiring minds with so many questions, and then

showed us the tools to answer them ourselves. I am of course talking about our teachers and coaches. To the English teachers who have helped us unearth meaning behind the seemingly foreign language of Shakespeare. To the music teachers who charmed music out of us at unnaturally early times in the ■

day. To drama and art teachers that give us opportunity to explore the wild and wacky depths of

,N our complicated minds. To the science teachers who taught us about naughty bits above and p

beyond the curriculum. To the humanities and math teachers who have such unbelievable

enthusiasm for their subject. To the second language teachers who've shown us a whole new

culture. And to coaches, that help us experience synergy, and the value of teamwork. We thank

you for your dedication, respect, and hard work. Hold out your hand in front of you. At the tips

of each finger is a complex swirl of lines. That pattern is different from the person sitting next to

you, from every other person in the world. We will all use our fingerprints, our own unique package

of talent, creativity and passion to make marks, take chances and break the moulds wherever we

travel. Today we celebrate each graduate, as we continue to write our stories. To everyone sitting here

today, you never know what new stories will be created if you don't seize the opportunities you are given.

Carpe Diem! And Vivat!

A word to remember me by: hmm, I don t even remember last week. The last two years have come and gone and new hope is on the honzon. First. I wish to thank my parents, by far the most influential and important people in my life. I know we havent always seen eye to eye. but its nice to know somebody will support you through whatever decisions you make. To all the people I should mention. Im sorry I cgn t To Patrick, however, I'm glad you always stuck close to me: I dont know what I could have done without you always there willing to help me out. Try not to forget all the crazy weekends, especially Van. and Mano plus the Nelly Furtado concert and John Payne. To all the laid-back house parents like Anderson and Field.

you guys are doing good jobs realizing its not fun having someone breathe down your neck all the time. To all the other grads,

the world is a scary place; I hope you haven't been sheltered too much. Peace Out.

I remember the first time I stepped into SMUS. All I could think of was the huge green field full of tall

strangers. Now, I look around the school campus and I notice the faces that have become far too familiar

simply to pass by. I have numerous valuable memories and I know I will remember them forever. My

Jinwoo knows: the five long unforgettable years: the middle school: the first two years at Bolton: the late night fire alarm: the night-time activities: cooking: when he left SMUS in1 999: when he came back next year because he missed it so much: entering Barnacle; the Grade 1 0 year which he felt was the best time; the Korean Garden: the rough Grade 1 1 year: the dish washing: the music: snowboarding and basketball: the university applications; the prefect tie: the cool Barnacle House staff; the neighbours: women: the outlaws;

Whistler; the night time DVD: the valuable talks. He will also keep these people in his mind forever: JH-back

le days, some fun; the Lim brothers- you are cool: Sam- good talk, workout, cars, snowboards, girls, and stuff; JW- we

keep in touch, all right? SY, I remember the Yang Chow Fried Rice; Jig- have fun in Toronto; JC- you have been the best roommate; YY -good luck in the future: US- you are tall; JW- hope you get faster, my friend; Ladies, work hard in the universities; RK- a.k,a. Magic Art Keum; HJ- the head size matters; RM- the super horse: Sister- have fun at SMUS; HS- hope you become a prefect later; good luck GRAD 2002!

1997-2002

To sum up my years at St, Michaels University School in 250 words is ndiculously impossible because I simply don't have that kind of time on my hands, I'll write about 200. 1 was here for four years (came in Grade . 8). I had a lot of parties; I went to a lot of parties; I had my heart broken once: and I watched a lot of football. Needless to say. I didn't do much work. but. hey! I still graduated so you might say I managed to beat the system. Anyway, thanks Mom, for always being there whenever I pretended not to need you; your incredible insight into my life and the advice you have given me is almost spooky but definitely cool as even the best looking teenage dudes need some words of wisdom now and then. I'd like to thank Neil Diamond for "Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show." That's all I got eh. so I'll just say a humble good night and if you ever need me I'll be chilling somewhere near Riverdale with Josie and her Pussycats. P.S. Brett Favre sucks and he single-handedly killed the Packers chance at an incredible dynasty.

I was dragged kicking and screaming into SMUS Middle School in grade six and after seven long years I have shared some great memories and made some incredible friends. Over the last few years many a night has started and ended in my basement, but a couple of highlights stand out. Grade Ten — messengerthree. clashes with the coastguard, dowhyfest. island champs with drinking tickets, and the Oak Bay native garden. Grade Eleven — listening to Too Short with Dewar, alumni and Howard Russell heartbreak, the arrival of Sollis, and Shawnigan Lake skinny dipping. Grade Twelve — Mt, Washington, a legendary trip, scenic routes with Sollis and the boys, Oburner and I on a tear, pool-wit Pyke, and Jawl always moving. To all my buddies, let's hope there are many more memories to come. To the girls who know I am all about sharing, caring, healing and feeling, thanks for your friendship. Thanks to the PE department for letting me be part of teams that lived and died together. Many adults have helped me throughout the years and although that's hard to believe, I am very thankful to the coaches, teachers and most of all my parents for their continuing support. My Dad once said, "you only live once" and I hope all the grads remember that wherever they go next, OQQ OftHO

Thirteen years ago it all started. Some twenty little runts came together to make the first of the 2002 grad

class. Now there are only a couple of us left, but many were added along the way. The Junior School was

chill, not much to worry about except naptime. The middle school was different; but the last four years are

the ones that really counted. Grade 9; everything here is huge. Grade 1 0; BH and I putting JP in the fridge.

Jazz band, Mexico, ML drank the water, JH handing out darts. Grade 1 1 : OB High, lunches at Bagga. JP.

BH, RE, start the chill, alien, hey hunter! Whistler. Vinced. MILO. M&J. Mischievous Robot. Smokey and

the Bandit. Priz Wok. Grade 1 2: It has been a long road, but we're almost there. To my friends, you know who you are. thanks

lor the great time! Peace. vn

I have spent six years at SMUS. I arrived in grade 7, not knowing what to expect, I then proceeded to conquer all. Petie. Gormie, Brent. Zulu is the language of The Hoodlums, but seriously it was Oak Bay O'Lyall does rule. Colson, maverick and iceman. Tony. I don't know what to say. Bogie, trade chemistry for McDonalds. Kipper, all I can say is resist. Ge-off. you're hilarious. Couvie. you're a bear. Jawly. you make me feel so short. Burnso. there is never a dull moment. Cob. squirrels are not safe. Davie. ACDC,

incredible event. Dew. you're the man. Vera, you're a great friend. Seaner. Jerry Springer and xanavison,

ha, summer of grade 9. Sally, you're so money and you don't even know it. Oy boss, this one time in Armstrong, we saw Stephanie? Michael Pykel Peek, you're my brother, but no Dragon Ball Z. Grannys, pappa. mom, dad. you are all the best, thanks, roox, you're an inspiration. "If you didn't care what happened to me, and I didn't care for you. we would zig-zag our way through the boredom and pain occasionally glancing up through the rain wondering which of the buggers to blame and watching for pigs on the wing.

1998-2002

Four years: whether they've been long or not I'll leave to the imagination. Thanks first to everyone who

welcomed me to the school back in grade nine. Everything was built on that year, so I'm glad it turned out

so well. I'm almost sorry to see this school go. but we're on to bigger and better. I played my first rugby here.

and met great people. JC, anatawa henna hito desu. Stu, be smart (enough said). DK. you cheap Tekkeh

player. Johnny, you live right up the road, and I hardly ever see you. Nicola. I won't call you Neec. Nick.

you crazy kid, we need to get together more. Everyone else, just know that this is a rush job. so sorry if I

don't get you. Of course. I couldn't write this without AMP. Thank you for everything. You've been great to me, I merely hope

that I can make everything up to you, staying with you forever. I love you. And now, I bid adieu. Thanks, that was fun.

Eighteen years ago the insanity began as I came into the world (kicking and screaming. Im sure). Mom and Dad. dakujem za vsetko: I could never have come so far without your love and support (to my little Pro: all I need to say is keep growing): to my teachers and coaches. I thank you for giving me direction. I think I might even have learned something along the way: and my friends - how could I have survived without you? Youre all crazy and 1 will treasure all the memories: Razzmatazz and all that jazz (remember

Nickelback?). banana boats & nutella. freezing during the OL trips, chem and bio class in general, cruising

in the K-car (or the shagon" wagon?!). McDs and "copious" amounts of welfare ice-cream, bum buddies, yellow mustangs. Australia, bbq and movie nights, looking for petty change with a metal detector, yearbook room all day/everyday, volleyball. basketball, volleyball. ..back to back Provincials = late night practices (and subsequent procrastination), too many bad llamas and so many good times. You guys really made it all worth it! So really, who is the more foolish - the fool . or the lool who follows him? Keep in touch and best of luck. 'Till the fork in the road meets again.,. My motto - sans limites.

David Burnett

1989-2002

Although still sporting the maturity of a two year old. I've made it to grade 1 2. After thirteen years at SMUS

I think I can safely say that thirteen years is quite a long time to spend in one place, especially when you're

there seven hours a day. There are a few choices I wish I'd made, and some I wish I hadn't, but I regret

nothing {except, of course, for the wrong choices I was just alluding to). As we approach grad I'm reminded

o( our first day in kindergarten. I don't remember much about that day, but there is one thing I am sure of;

we were a lot smaller. Over the years our class has grown in number, in size, and in spirit, and we are now

the most unruly group of people I've ever had the privilege of being a part of. To friends I've had for years, fnends I've had

for months, and friends I just never got around to making; I wish you all the best life has to offer. To teachers who have awed

and inspired me. as well as those who have left something to the imagination; thank you for your time and patience over the

years. I legve you now with this insanely useless bit of advice; laughter really is the best medicine.

My four years at SMUS have been full of unforgettable and unique experiences. I wish to thank everyone who has been part of the experiences, starting with my three roommates; Jin Woo. Speedo and Chan. Jin Woo, thanks for all the math help: John — I've now seen most of Tom's movies or at least their trailers; you never dropped out either, but the virus gets us all somehow; Trevor, you've been a great roommate and there won't be another like you despite what the phone book thinks; don't forget about Babe or Horse and remember no one wants to see It, especially not at dinner. To the rest; Adam — hope you never have to ride the bus again. Dual Bios!! Elliott, you are a mess, don't ever forget that. Fish-on. Orsy — Canucks 6 Leafs 1 . eh. Franklin?. Hansi — have fun. Brad. Aki — keep playing soccer because one day Canada will beat Japan. Mike Hu — happy 1 9th again. I will always remember it. Daisuke — happy birthday. I wish also to thank; Golian. Kuhn. Bogutz. Whitey. Stu, Chris Kim. Aashish. Liz Mitchell, Jose, Patricio, Melon head Lui. Yun Young, the tennis team and all the Bolton Buds (Penguins) for being the best house. Last and most, many thanks to Mom, Dad, Ed, and Chris; and. to the Camerons for making my stay here so much more enjoyable. BHSflHBBE^^H;

I came to SMU way back in Grade 4. With a bunch of newbies. I remember meeting a group of great guys.

including that maniac E.H. First day of school was great, where Dave. Stu and Jav took me into their little

group. Junior school was awesome, middle school was interesting and senior school was amazing! I have

to say. O.L was great and camping in the snow was awesome. For those 17 years I've spent up at the

Alders, the last few have been sweet. And Stu. I schooled you at ping-pong, alright! Above anyone. I have

to thank T.C for teaching me everything he knows about Cncket for 8 fantastic years. Cricket has been a

great expenence. meeting tons of interesting people. I met Kaz, Rudi. Seb. Aslam, Henry and countless others. Winning that

shield. I can only hope to live up to expectations. So many great players have won it before. I'm running out of room and

time at SMU so I'll cut it short. Stu (Mr. Mac), you've changed a lot; I'm still taller and listen; Matt Good Band is way better

than Nickelback. you know it. Dave, you're still crazy and I won't forget I wouldn't be hanging around you guys if it weren't

for you. Thanks for so many great years!

Over the past two years. I've learned so much from SMUS. but most important I've learned after two years that I'm leaving this summer! Take care, all of you who are still staying — like Au-Yeung Chu. Eat more, you're not fat ah! Jo li yun. have you found a smart roommate yet? Wait a minute, get a girlfriend! Wilson, hope you get what you want! People who are leaving; Lavin (get more handsome friends!); Ann (still won't believe you'll go to Langara); Angel (main 41 ^' ) and Kelvin (diu! Take care la!). Keep in contact! To Clarence, good luck in Cornell ah! I have faith in you!

Trevor Chan

1999-2002

I arrived at SMUS in grade 10 and at first. I was nervous. My parents unloaded my bags and drove off as

soon as they could, leaving me alone with my 1 0th grade roommate, Hugh Macintosh. I quickly introduced

myself and he did the same, but in the weirdest fashion. As I recall, he said. "Hey, F. Hugh," and shook

my hand. Naturally. I took offence and this relationship didn't last; I got a new roommate in grade 1 1 . Jamie.

He was slightly better. Anyway. Ouinn. thanks for not coming back to SMUS; instead, you have the

priceless opportunity of wasting your life on some deserted island, trying to learn to speak French. Adam.

thanks for being a nice little bear and have fun studying at Cambndge. Don't spend all your time at the pubs. guy. Well, three

years have passed and with them have gone many of the best times I have ever experienced. I have met many interesting

people and through them. I have learned many important lessons that I will carry for the rest of my life. Oh. I almost forgot.

Happy Birthday, Daisuke!

It's been a while since I've looked back on my years at SMUS: in this moment of reflection I realize now many people have been significant to me: teachers who have influenced my academic and athletic careers, peers from whom I have learned much, and buddies whom I consider more valuable than confidant(e)s. David Burnett VIVE LE FOOTBALL! Be wary. Stuart, there are lots of bad girls out there, so make sure you have the right bait when you fish. Kasim. it's really been a pleasure being your fellow-tenor- saxophone player for the past four years: keep up that interest we share. Bogutz kun. I'm really going to miss the many hours we spent on Playstation 2TM. especially Final Fantasy X. -Thanks be to Yevon." Anne-Mane, my years at SMUS would've been completely different without you: be sure always to keep your optimistic attitude and be happy- Dear Mahsol. thanks for all those e-mail messages that helped and encouraged me: 1 wish you ^^f 7f,^'"9 J^ll.

If I learnt anything it's that expectations will be crushed, so sometimes you just have to run with it. When I got to Senior School the story finally got interesting. There I I was again at the bottom of the pack just waiting for my turn and now I'm here. Graduating. All that build up for this? I'm still the same little grade 9 ,ust waiting for my turn, just a little taller. Oh well. I'm sure I'll remember a 'ew things, maybe To the Grad class, I don't want to mention any names or expenences to remember me by. because if you need a small paragraph to summarize the awe that is Pete, then clearly I haven't been loud enough.

I came to SMU in Gr. 8 unsure, fresh from 8 years at an all-boys school. Now a 1 100 days of school. 48 exams. 1 2 university applications, too many early mornings, lots of friends, several litres of Coca-Cola, and . 72 km worth of 2400 runs later. I leave the school knowing that these past five years will forever be among tfie best of my life. My teachers: thank you for your inspiration and encouragement. My friends: Lyall-keep on Kermit dancing. Brad-you know I will always be better at everything (tennis and Smash Bros, included). Kipp/Dave/OByrne-RyReDaCh legacy will live on. Liz-Baby got back!. Florensh-need I say more? Buena suerte mi amiga!. Karlie-the Peach Rap. Ho-I didn't even have to undo the zipper!. Andrea- 1 love. ..cake. GracePH-rowing/fat whiney/big goofy. I cant even begin to write about all the good times I've had: Lyall's parties, stakeout at Munroe's. tennis provincials. Mario partying, addiction to pop. Mt. Washington (what photo?), golfing, dungeonball. rainy rowing and rugby days. OL. prefect-meeting cuisine (long live the mini-sandwich), road trips. Spanish, and being sarcastic. My "family (Mom. Dad.

As I've meandered about SMUS for the last twelve years of my life. I've come to conclude that the best way to fill up my jar of life is first to put in two precious gemstones: one. my family: Mum and Dad, so much to thank you for. Curran and Evan, thanks for paving the way. I love you forever: and two. my friends: you know who you are. Your craziness and kindness are forever embedded in my memory. You've proved that with great friends, even hippos can dance. I thank each of you for teaching me about being respectful, brave, and original. I couldn't have made it without you. Next into the jar, some smaller pebbles: passion, the music notes, rowing, education, ambitions to travel and work for National Geographic. Sprinkled in the gaps, sand warmed by the sun that soothes the toes, the moments, the experiences that my life would be incomplete without: Mercla. banana boats, llamas. Banff road tnp. Gladiator look-a-likes. chemistry class in general, a fair bit of ice and a whole lot more! If I've left a few grains of sand in some other people's jars of life. I'm satisfied. And. finally, no reflection is complete without a metaphor involving a road. So. just remember that on the road of life there are no passengers, only drivers. Drivers Wanted.

Well we did it: the graduating class of 2002. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Coming to SMUS as a sophomore (grade 1 0) to be one of the few. true, proud Americans to come through SMUS with a background of football. I did not find it easy. I managed, however, with the help of my friends. First, I wish to thank to my family for supporting me (and paying) through my years at SMUS. Colson - we're as American as they come. BB - I love you: your parents are cool. too. Aki -Sensi Dkke-chinko. (osoi yoruno ai). Kenny - you'll always be my li'l brother. Nick gets his rnoney for nothing and his chicks for free. Dewar is THE MAN. Finally. I would like to thank Cookie, for his guidance. Tanbe Club! Congratulation to all the grads of 2002! Good luck wherever you may go.

Graduation, the end of high school — the end of our childhood, the end of our beginning. I entered SMUS from

a small public school in Campbell River, not knowing what to expect. For my first and last year of SMUS its been

quite an expenence. Ive braved the most challenging and incredible year of my life: coming here was the best

decision I veever made. Thisyearhas zoomed by with the hoursof homework, studying, school activities.councils.

university applications and late-night chats to "Xiao Zhu. ' Timmis girls, what can 1 say. I love you and will miss

you tons. Bolton boys. well, let's just say it's been interesting living with you guys. Adios mis pequenos mejicanos.

I want to thank all my teachers for helping me through the tough times this year: I appreciate all the patience. Gratitude goes out to

Jonesy for the ab workouts in chem. class. Thanks to Mr. Gardiner for pushing me to learn to my fullest ability: 1 will never forget you

or your facetious classes To all my fellow prefects, boarders, f nends. and grads. good luck in your future endeavours. Grace. Chels.

Yon. and Aleksa: MU AH! I love and miss all of you guys at home. Clarence, you are definately my savior. I don't know how I'd survive

SMUS without you. I'll miss our late night chats and study sessions. Thanks for always being there with your good advice.

Mark Gorman 1999-2002

Choose SMUS. Choose classes. Choose sports. Choose fnends. Choose freaking big hair. Choose quadblobs. bottle hockey, and slurpy runs. Choose sitting in "character-building." sleep-inducing classes, stuffing your head with information. Choose swankiness. "sensitivity." procrastinating, roaming, and sticking it to the man. Choose your future. Choose life: but why would I want to do something like that? I started at SMUS in grade 1 0. Those were some crazy times. After that, grade 1 1 . also crazy times. Grade 12. you guessed it. crazy times. It's funny how that happens. Good night, and God speed. PS: Smoke me a kipper: 111 be back for breakfast.

My two years at SMU have been filled with good times and bad times. I have made good friends here (I

love you all) who have given me memories III look back on and laugh, cry or deny ever happened. Like

the time.VIP fast, fun and free girls! Mt. Washington trips. I was playing cards. I swear. Out of control

believing in me. I wouldn't be here without you. Good luck to GRAD 2002! Spread your wings and live your dream because

It s our time to fly.

I have been at SMUS for a little over a year now. and even though a year is not a lot of time, my life has changed completely So many great things have happened to me during my short stay. I wish to thank my family for encouraging me to come here, the best decision I have made, so far. To all my friends who have made my time here amazing-thank you. Especially to Chantal and Chelsea - I will never forget you two. the best friends I could ask for. (One word: -Bnckyard.-) Grace-we have had some fun times together

(backing out of a stall at Thriftys. -Bacon -. the crack). Rebekka-I am glad we had a chance to be roomies

- and best wishes to you next year! To all the Harvey boys - good times, good times. Geoff-what am I going to do without you as my mac n' cheese lunch date?

Ive spent over half my life here and its hard to believe it was nine years ago when I entered my tirst bMUb class Japanese Apparently 1 unknowingly introduced myself as a little boy. (My Japanese did improve!) Perhaps the most important thing I learned dunng my time at the junior school was that -cows eat grass Mercla is and always will be a legend. The middle school is a blur of memories: hiking with the boys, flamenco dancing Iretiru toil and trouble. I cant possibly sum up all the great times. The senior school has been . well ,

and bio forever For the record, lavender ice cream IS good! Peppo. Mo. Dood. and Piki eased the pain. SALTS was sweet I dont think I was ever really awake during early morning stnngs. Nickelback was incredible. Bad llamas, drag queens and blow- up dolls the locker told all. Volleyball rocked! We made provincials ladies! I used to think Id be here forever but it looks like forever has come and gone. Lots of love to my family and all the fnends Ive made along the way. You know who you are and your friendship has been truly invaluable to me. You wont be forgotten. Best of luck to the Grad Class of 2002.

From the moment I came to SMUS in grade seven I've had some great times, bad times and met some good people I have also met some terrible excuses for human beings (you know who you all are) whom 1 poorly chose to befriend and who subsequently ruined my life. All I have to say is that St. Michaels has definitely not failed in shaping me into the wonderful young man that I am today. 1 greatly cherish every minute I spent at this school but Id have to say that Im glad its all over so I can kick off my life-long career as a professional janitor. Good times that 1 will always remember; Dankshar. Washington. Shawnigan. I

Its hard to believe that something I've been planning since grade 9 has now become so hard to do. Ive had so many great memories and made so many amazing fnends that its impossible to list them all: I guess that s what the supplement is for. I'd like to thank my mom for her undying support and all those teachers who believed in me when no one else would. Its been one heck of a ride, and I cant say that Im glad it s done, I m

Three years have passed faster than I thought it could. When I first came here. I only could speak a little English and

It was very hard for me to adapt to life at SMUS. I had moments when I thought to give up trying and go back to Japan.

However, by the grace of precious people. I overcame many difficulties at SMUS. First of all. I am really thankful to

my mom and dad! Thank you for listening to my complaints on the phone! And I am also thanks to Yuml. Yumi is

a one of my best friends. She always helped me when I was depressed, and I always helped her when she was

depressed. I am sure I couldn't have survived without her help. Chiaki, you are my math teacher. Thanks for teaching

me math and staying with me in the foyer when I was on duty! Tsubasa, you are my special friend! Let's meet in Japan sometime. Anna,

I thought Fiona was the best roommate for me, but you are as good as Fiona! I am glad to be roommates with you this last year. I am

really worried that you might be late for school next year if I don't wake you up! Last of ail. Kyungmin, you are the one that I want to thank

the most' I spent most of the time with you in the last three years. I have thousands of precious memories with you that I can't explain

in words, t quarreled with you almost everyday, but we always made up! I hope I can stay with you forever. . .1 love you!

Finally, its the end of an everlasting journey. I have to say three years at SMUS was too long. It was no doubt a worth while experience and the happy times will forever remain in me but I am very glad that it's all over now. Farewell to the place where I learned a lot about the real world. Farewell to the ones who will never be able to understand. I'll never forget my days here: it is too deep of a scar. Thanks to all those who helped me along. Mandy, don't let anything get in the way, hang on tight and never give up. Chantal, you're

the only one who truly understood me. Thanks for listening. Aleksa, Beaver can never beat Monkey up.

Angle. See you in HK. Becks, thanks for the entertainment. Mom and Dad, thank you for everything, and you were right, this

was only an experience.

After 8 longs years I cant believe its finally over. Coming in grade 4. junior school was lots of fun with jail

lag and other adventures. I still remember in grade four I thought that by the time I graduated I would know

what I wanted to do with my life. With four months left I still don't have a clue. I've learned a lot over the

■years, but it seems the more I learn, the less I know. Maybe one day I will learn to keep notesand be

organized. I've had lots of great memories, which I will take with me and remember for the rest of my life.

Along the way Ive had some great teachers to guide me Including old man head McLeod and friends, mind

melt. Mr Leggatt for a great chem. class and teaching Andy and I how to fish To my parents and all those who made my

times her a little brighter I thank you. Remember: the great things in this world are not so much where you are but in what |^'^

direction you are moving. To all the grads of 2002 I wish you good luck. ^^^B

I entered SMUS as a boarder in 1 998; now it is hard to believe that I am graduating soon. In these four years.

besides going to school. I have learned how to solve many different situations. In my boarding life, there

have been lots of happy and sad memories in the past four years, and also I made lots of friends at SMUS. I

would like to thank my parents, who always have been there for me when I most needed it. To my two

brothers in SMUS. Martin and Wilson. Good luck to you all. God (and girls) be with you! To my sisters. Ann

and Lavin. really hope you can get a rich husband. Angel, get a boyfriend - and sometimes you work too

hard Clarence, nothing to say about her. Genius, we are in different level. Jeff . treat Clarence good. Sam. my sexy roommate

Ifs been a wild ride since I arrived a terrified thirteen-year-old at SMUS. All I can say is thank you to those people who made the past 5 years worthwhile. You know who you are. Ive had good times, met people who have changed how 1 think, and a few who ril never forget. I think Ive learned a lot. not |ust academic learning, but how to deal with life and my peers. Nickelback and New Years 2002. Saltspnng 2001 . Duen 2000 and who knows how many movie nights and yearbook room mornings are probably my best memones

(though there's probably some important stuff Ive forgotten). To the class of 2002. the only piece of advice

I have is to do what you want with the rest of your life: otherwise you'll never be happy. Always challenge authority, stay true to what you believe in, and you will rise to the top. To Anna, the girl who stole my heart one January night, no matter what happens next year III always look back on our time together as some of the best days of my life.

Ghpped by fear and apprehension I pushed my way through the heavy double doors to embark on my first day of kindergarten. Thirteen years later I find myself at another set of doors, these however, dont seem quite as daunting. .. I accredit this to both my behemoth size and also the wisdom that awaited me on the other side of that fateful entrance. My days at Saint Mikes have had their ups with their fair share of downs. The memories made, I know, will relive themselves in my heart many times as I walk the road that is the rest of my life. To all the people that made these memories I apologize for not knowing the words to tell you what you.mean to me. And to all my fellow grads- don't be afraid of excellence, and never deny the dance

In my five years at SMUS I have had many great experiences and met many inspiring people. The people I have met both teachers, coaches and fnends have impacted me in more ways than one can imagine. Mr Hyde-lay .and Mr. K, your teachings in sport have been invaluable to me on and off the field and I will carry them with me a long way. My memories and experiences at SMU include; out trips, rugby tours ^nd provincials boot and alumni games versus Oak Bay and of course one very entertaining rock concert put on by ACDC. To my close friends, and the guys, four of which I have schooled with since kindergarten H , ,ao uc^, , ,un cid I wish you all the best in the future. To all the teammates I have played with overthe years, those memones are irreplaceable! To the family. Mom, Dad, Liz and Pete, the thanks I can give you is never enough for what you have been and how much you mean to me. Lastly I wish to my class the best in the future. For all of those I didnt mention you know who you are and how much you mean to me! Always remember, '1 0% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to it". , ■ '.

a beauty a love. Every action and every inaction of my surroundings and of myself has shaped me into what I am and

what I will be. I can only hope that after I graduate the life lessons I have leamed in the SMUS community will stay in

That said I would just like to thank everybody who has helped me. whether by being a friend, or perhaps being a

parent or even by just being - without all of you I wouldn't be here putting this yearbook together right now. Of course were I not doing

this I wouldn't be losing circulation to my lower extremities due to prolonged sitting. But ultimately I think the loss of feeling is worth it.

I neverthought I'd say this, but in the end, it really has been worth it (this time Im not being sarcastic!). Although had there been no llamas.

excessive amounts of ice-cream or my extensive duties as a taxi dnver (of the K-car variety), it may not have been. No, that s a lie. It

definitely would not have been worth it without those things. "Welcome to PJ's taxi - where would you like to go today? - The Little Mei maid

Moreover, it was a life lesson. I will remember: 84 Pride!! Juoh, Kenji, Lewis, Jin, Brandon, Jack Jung, and last and least Jun Guk Do-just kidding-, we are the best! Grad 2002 hyung dul,

When I first came to SMUS in grade eight I was nervous. I had come from Vernon, a small town where I spent most of my years growing up. so I wasn't used to SMUS. But it wasn't long until I settled down. And as the year progressed. I met some good people who made me smile. Bogutz - you're a good friend. I still owe you for that trip to the F. Terminal. Johan - what can I say? you were always there for me. Thanks a lot, you're a true friend. Rach - you're the modest person I know, thanks for putting up with me. Chien

I started out at the very bottom (kindergarten) in Jr. Sch. That was such a long time ago. but I still have

these dreadful memories of the "bluebook" and winters in the little dress shorts. My journeys then led me

to the Mid. Sch, where my rugby career started with DMB, We weren't that good then, but I'd like to think

we're better now. The gr,8 dinner dance on the HMS Beaver signaled my end at the Mid, Sch, and I was

deported to where I am now, Sr, Sch, has given me many fond memories thus far: movie hangout nights,

BBQ/Hot tub at Tucker's, Japan TripOl , Castaway Wanderers BC Champs, rugby 7s and BCs in Van, a

number of fine social gatherings, some wonderful teachers, and great rugby coaching, Jav-pro body builder(when are you

Three years of my life in SMUS is about to come to an end. It was hard at first to get used to the life here, Ipu somehow I managed to ease through. I would first like to thank my family. Thank you all for your suppor emotionally AND financially! You guys are the best and I love you! Next, thanks to all my cool Jap fnends in H.K and Japan. Kousaku, Hiroshi, Ebicchi, Shibacchi, Teppi, Kemji, Chichiban, Marimin, Yuki. Yukiccho, Takafusa Daichan: thanks for all the fun we had! You guys are truly the coolest and best friends I've ever had in my life I really appreciate your support during my hard times. Also, thanks to my MSN buddies, although I didn't hav£ much time to talk to them. Last but not the least, the SMUS people, Mrs, Cook, Cookie, and HP's: Thank you for your support foi my three years in boarding! Mr. Cook: I regret that I didn't have guts to call you Cookie Ivan: Don't bring girls into boarding anc clean your room up. Austin: Sleep more. Peter: Don't spend too much time with girls and study hard. Yun-Young: Don't cry in May You know what I mean. Stephen: You are the funniest guy I've ever met. Jennie: I will not be there anymore to help you with youi calc and math. Alice and Clarence: I had fun teasing you two in chem. And finally to the teachers and Grad 2002. let's enjoy oui lives! P.S. Happy Birthday Daisuke! rsnnn nnnn

Over my two years at SMUS I have had some great expenences and hard reality checks. A certain rhyme

comes to mind when trying to express these ideas. "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had

many great academic, physical and personal falls, but with the help of his parents, teachers and friends

he managed to put his brutally beaten body back together again " Life lays many great opportunities down

for you. but it all comes down to whether you have the courage to take a chance on yourself and other

people, I had a great time meeting new people but remember friends don't come easy when you're the new

face on campus, but you can't be afraid to throw yourself to the lions. But in all seriousness, thanks for being there for me

in the line of fire— you're all good friends, "White Spot " yah buddy! Keep circulating because you know it's the right thing to

do. I move on leaving my footprint upon they rugby pitch where I will live in infamy as a member of the elite I was ever so

proud to join. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, the true inspiration and support you offered me was what kept me going

and made me realize how lucky I am to have parents like you.

Although I have been at SMUS for five years. I cannot honestly say that I will be sorry to leave. More like.ly a I will be jumping up and down and celebrating. But a small part of me will certainly miss this school (a little). I wish to thank to all my teachers for helping me with stuff that looked like gibberish to me at times: thanks also to all my house parents for cooking the yummiest food on Wednesdays, and thank you to all my friends for supporting me and cheering me up when I'm down in the pit. Ann and Lavin. you gals have been married

for four years now. and I wonder what you are going to do without each other. Im going to miss you guys

a lot, love you, and keep in touch! Clari, thank you for everything, -ah xim, " Alice, I wish you the best of luck next year (wherever you may be going). Ho, I'm really going miss you. our nightly chat about food. Ho #2. one more year to go, so work hard and good luck! Martin, Congratulations! You have graduated from the "La Ying'' school, Kelvin and Wilson, don't swear too much and don't play too much. Annie and Masey, have "fun" next year in boarding, I leave you with my sympathy! Kathie you have been a wonderful roommate throughout the year, thanks. Finally, Grads of 2002- wherever you may go, remember never to lose hope in everything you do, and good luck to you in the future! 1

Five years ago I took the longest ferry ride of my life and never looked back. I have been climbing relentlessly upward, and now stand with the cliff edge in front. All those that have loved, supported and helped me stand behind, holding their breath. This is takeoff, but before I step Into the air I would like to thank my parents who showed me what was possible, helped with the landings that weren't so smooth and refused to let me stay too long on the ground. I am propelled by memories, steered by friendships. As I prepare for liftoff. I

test the strength in my body and mind, confident that these opportunities and experiences have made me

more powerful than I can realize. My future is gleaming softly before me. Time to take flight. Goodbye and good luck

It seems it's been a long time since I came here. It was my first time living in a foreign country; I couldn t understand any English and I would just smile when I didn't understand what people said. Even though my English still sucks, I learned many things in this school during these unforgettable three years. Thanks to my friends and to my parents who helped me most. Good luck to Grad 2002.

Lala, there are lots. of ups and downs in my life, but we have been through a lot together. Thanks for the eternal love you give me. Ann, you are the most understanding fnend and the best listener.

1997-2002

My journey at SMUS is coming to an end. Five years of learning have shaped me into the person I am today.

First, my gratitude to God for blessing me everyday. Dad: thanks for always giving me the best. Mom:

thanks for all the support and care. Sis: thanks for all the great jokes when I needed. Andy: "I want bow

bow la!" -Let's go eat fish chips next Saturday." "Let's go watch movies this weekend." " Let's go eat fried

banana with ice-cream today." Although I won't be here, my hugs will always be here when you need them.

I will never forget all the memories we share. You've made my life beautiful! Please take care of yourself

when Im not around. Thanks for always being there for me and loving me! I Love You! Lavin, Ann: is my

hair longer? Ill never forget the time we've spent together, da san ba. Allan: I'll miss our long talks, my sister. Ivy: be confident!

Youre always my little sister! Yeonjoo. Thelesa: it's Andy La. Yoohyun: thanks for all the advices and food. Jennie: I hope

were still friends. Sam: na. Angel: hi angel. Time flies in a high speed and in a one-way path. Although my path wasn't always

stable. I appreciate all the people who walked through it with me. No matter how long before we see each other, no matter

how far we are apart, each one of you will remain dear in my heart.

Nurrachman Liu 1995-2002

Well, what can I say? My six years at SMUS. and twelve years of school, have come and gone. Time flies when you're having fun (most of the time, anyways). When I first arrived in middle school, I was a shy, short guy. Actually. I think I still am. Darn. But wait! At least I learned a lot, academically and personally. Along the way. I've met many amazing people. I've had a wonderful time at the school, and it has given me much... I'll always remember these memories. I thank all my teachers, who have taught me well and instilled in me

a fondness for learning, and especially those who have helped me so much in grade 12. Thanks to my

family, my mom. dad. and bro: your support has been invaluable. To all my friends, thanks for the great times, and I hope we'll keep in touch. To all the grads: I wish you all the best! "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Emerson .

2000-2002

I can still remember the first day when I came, crying on my dad's shoulder. I had never experienced boarding life until two years ago. It was really hard for me because I had to leave my family and friends and explore ■ this new place alone. These two years have been unforgettable, with the love from my teachers and friends. ■Thanks to Mrs. Skinner, who has always been nice to me. Math and music do go together! Mr. Gardiner, you helped me find fun in Bio. Ms. Johnston, thanks for pushing me up to ChemH. Also, many thanks to Mr. Weinerman, Mr. Leggatt. Ms. Hawes, Ms. MacDonald. Ms. Stanford. Ms. Ding and Ms. Tobacco. I mustn't forget to mention my dearest roommate. Kathryn. I really had fun rooming with you. I enjoyed the late night chats witn you, though sometimes I didn't get any response from you since you'd already fallen asleep. I will never forget the time when we studied for the Bio provincial together. Those stupid jokes (about your bf and the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) made me remember the diagrams. You're my best roommate: my best friend in SMUS. I'll miss you very much, ang eh, wa ga li gong daiyi. he be? kan bu dong bu yao xiao. ok...um....haha. gam xia li yi di di wa eh xim bi. m guan hua xing xia mi dai ji. ze xi wa yin wan boeh boeh gi eh dai ji. wa eh jin xiu li '^(oo)'^ li eh gong bo eh-

1 It feels a little awkward writing this since it is based upon the assumption that I am actually going to graduate.

Like a lighthouse in a bog. I've been described as brilliant, but absolutely useless. Nevertheless, I arrived at

SMUS in 1 998 with little more than a mullet, a hockey stick and a slight hint of an Arabic accent. As none of

these seemed to impress anyone at SMU, (tough crowd) I had to find a way to make friends. Three BC finals

and one shiny nng later I thank god that rugby found me. To the band of brothers. No regrets! To the girls/

future groupies?? I really meant it when I told you all you were the best. To the mountain crew, just remember

lappensin the woods, stays in the woods. Except for three steps and Bojangles. To the band, if we aren't famous by now,

we're probably living in a van - down by the river! Finally - to my family, thank you all so much for your support. I love you guys...

its like we're family... wait a minute. Final thoughts - Dankshar, Shawnigan, Kermit dances, Edgefests, lyallpoloozas - all this

leads us to the inevitable conclusion of what we knew all along - Olyall Ru.... well do I really need to finish that. Tum up the radio.

It's been a slice. "But everybody's gone, and I've been here for too long To face this on my own. well I guess this is growing up

Thank you so much Stephen for everything you've done for me: I would never be the person I am today

without you. Mom. Leah and Deisha. - thanks for keeping me company on the phone: I love you guys so

much. My sports career at SMUS will never be forgotten: to the volleyball girls- I don't know, Suz huh I

don't know. Clari- Fire alarm! Anna- well what can I say. without us. . .things would definitely be different.

Stump- Australia 2001 was a blast, thanks for making me laugh. Jo- wake me up. before you go go. Aleksa-

weve sure come a long way since grade 10: tell your mom she's the best! Ho- two years of being roomies,

my fondest memory is the day we got a hot shower, p.s. who are the top two and don't hold it! Chantal- J'aime le garcon de

noir.. .my French is getting there :) You're the most caring person I know, thanks for being you. Three years at SMUS has

left me with unforgettable memories I'll always treasure.

At last, the adventure of high school that will soon fade into gilded memories in my already far-too-crowded emotional database is at an end. I am still debating, however, which parts to remember and which to forget and be reminded of at somewhat embarrassing moments in my future (I already have the TV contracts). ril always remember being able to travel around the world (25 countries) and living overseas (Nepal, Denmark, Pakistan), experiences which have definitely contnbuted positively to my life. Mike: Where would I be had you not opened my eyes to the wonder world of the Internet? (Don't answer that question). Conal:

Arr, matey, keep them Spaniards at bay! Bailey: woof! Rebecca: My hair belongs to me. but you can always

join my crusade. Grace: Remember, you can go far with an accent like that (so long as everybody s like me) And here's advice foryou all: 1.) By utterly crushing a transgressor in full view of his compatnots, an enforcer not only solves the onginal problem beyond all doubt but also ensures that all that see it dare not stray from the path of the law. Eventually the actual physical presence of the enforcer is not required to enforce the law. 2.) Light a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. And finally, 3,) When life gives you lemons, invade Poland... Huzzah!

2000-2002

What can I say about my two years at SMUS? Well I guess after a rocky year of "insomnia in grade 1 1 ,

I really found who and what I cared about in grade 12. It's been a great grad year with great people. The

barnacle boys, Colson and Brian, and without a doubt Kat, have had a huge impact on my life. I wish I could

mention everyone but hey. you know who you are! I don't know where I'll end up next year or what I'll be

doing but I'll never forget any of you. Neither will I forget the places, the Rise, the beach. John's and

Barnacle house. To my house parents you've guided me through some hard times. To my best fhends

(you know who you are) I've had a great year with you guys and I will always remember the lost hours of sleep. Brian, hopefully

you will have an awesome time next year. Colson, never forget about what we talked about that day on the beach. Finally

Kat, What ever happens I'll always need you to organize my life! Well, Peace to the izzout,"lf you can look into the seeds

of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me, "—Mac Beth, 1:3

Of all my days at SMUS since 1 993, I've never encountered a sadder moment than the time my grad wnte- up didn't make it to the yearbook staff.. . but I can explain. The reason you are not reading my own words right now is that a band of thirty-two and a half ghost pirates jumped me while I was walking briskly to the computer lab to send off my 960 characters of fond memories and inspirational quotes. Before I knew it, the ugliest thirty-two and a half ghost pirates you've ever seen were jumping out of their ghost pirate ship cursing ghost pirate swears, and grabbing at my chehshed write-up. To make a long story short. I failed to hand in my own grad whte-up as it was in the possession of ghost pirate hoodlums.

These past four years have been challenging, insightful, memorable, but mostly fun. SMUS has seen me through the good and difficult times. To the best friends I could ask for: AM-you have been my mentor, Sunday sister and my closest friend. Thank you for your inspiration. MP- no more VIP, bhindi marks or Douglas furs! You've shown me my strengths and weaknesses. KV and FB-you've been so much fun. I'll never forget car rally and Jem and the holograms. Bonair crew?the hotness's have rocked this school! FG-Summer '01 was out of control" and I'm glad you were there to share it with me! Thanks for the pie, lazy weekends and dinner dates! Marlee-Last year was fun! Celebrating our passing grades with McLean is something I'll always remember! Ainsley- You've always been there for me. Thanks for being my best friend and sister for 1 5 years, for your support and for putting up with me! Lacy underwear, Diesel, Arby, "peace outs", pajama/movie hung over day, Jo's hospital visit, hot tubs, clean up. Where's my pants? To my Rio, Joel- I'm so thankful you're in my life! Thanks to my family for giving me constant support, encouragement and the opportunity to go to SMUS. Andrew-thanks for your answers and guidance. I hope I have made you all proud!

2001-2002

I would first like to thank my parents and grandparents for making this incredible opportunity for me possible. As I embarked on this life changing adventure. I was not sure what to expect, but with a warm welcome from Mr. and Mrs. Cameron and the rest of the Bolton House. I immediately started to enjoy . myself and to feel at home. I would like to thank my mentor. Father Edward, for his continual guidance and support. Jamie Ford for always being there for me and for making Victoria much more entertaining, and Walter for a truly appreciated fnendship. I would also like to offer my thanks and praise to my house parents, the Camerons. my room mate John Speed, my good friends Jamie and Trevor, and a paean to Mr. Common for everything. Finally I extend my greatest appreciation to my grandmother for making this possible and to my dear mother for her unstinting support and her truly unbounded love. It has been one of my greatest honors to attend St. Michaels, and I will carry the school s pride for the rest of my life.

Coming to SMUS in grade 1 0 was a huge and very drastic change for me. I couldn't ask for more! Kristie

- 1 can't believe I just did that. So many laughs off of that one! Winnie - Remember grade 10 always! I'm

always here for anything. Monkey! Beckie - Don't forget San Diego! "Turn the lights on, I'm scared"! You'll

miss the quality of the massages! Mar - Wanna go to the gym? Ashley - Gr.1 1 were the days! Elise - I lost

the number! Yori - I only wish I saw you around more! I love hanging with you! See you in Alberta. Anna

-The banana card says it all! Yellow mustang...! know this isn't the end! Kathryn - Hot tub? Thanks for just

being you! So many good times! B-ball - The bank is open! Milica - What am I going to do without you

around? We will always be the girls! Jelena - If only I got to know you better, I will always look up to you (even though I am

taller than you)! Milan - I can't count the number of times you made me laugh so hard. I'm your DD. Mom and Dad - You

are the ones who have helped me through it all. -Aleksa

My arrival at SMUS in grade 8 came as a great shock to me. I was fresh out of catholic school; holding hands was a sin and certain ■liquids" were only intended for the use of cleaning cuts. But in all honesty . and minus a few details, the only difference between elementary school and high school is the lack of a playground. Right now my goal in life is to be as carefree as I was when I was eight. I cannot imagine a time in my life when I cant laugh at my own foolishness even if it includes, well, basically almost everything I've done so far. The reason why I am who I am today is because I have never stopped laughing. I must credit this to the fact that I have been surrounded by the most interesting and incredible group of people for five years I don't think there is any possible way to sum up friendships that mean the world to me. You guys truly understand me and I could never thank you enough for that. To my parents, thank you for letting me spread my wings and soar among all my hopes and dreams. Without you I would be lost. You have given me every opportunity possible and I will' never forget that All I can say now is that graduating is a beautiful thing. Cheers!

■Time of your life" echoes through the nearly vacant theatre as the white credits roll up the screen. I read

"Mexikanz played by Nikita, Geoff, (What are ya doinman?) Nate. Andy, Pete. Chns. Bailey. Mark. J. P.

J.D. Support Crew ■■D.Williams. C. Skinner and the Family. " I close my eyes and feel like I did at the end

of Empire, when I knew there was so much more still to come. Sitting back. I just want to rewind and watch

it all over again. It's a backwards blur of a million mornings and classes, but the focus never stays there

for long: it draws in on the in-between times. The old friendships and the new ones, and the people I've

loved and love still. It skips over summers of skimboarding. bombin' the bay, Thetis. Kings Of The Street,

40 Mexikanz. frizz, beaches, sailing and sun. and whips past the long wet winters. I see myself shrink and get fat and I'm

suddenly at my first day at the old school (not yet so old). Who knew it would be these same people, love them or hate them.

that would be part of the strange community that grew with me and helped me to grow. Sitting alone in a dark theatre for long

periods of time isn't normal; sol step out. squint in the sunlight, and turn back to reality, thinking about what a sequel might

be like. "Lovin' is what I got. I said remember that. " Bradley

welcomed Ryan into the Fnday night PPC full of movies. N64. and moms. Dewar-1 2 years. 3 schools, a great

SMUS has been more than just something to look back on; Ive lived a lifetime here. Well, at least thirteen years anyway. Each one of those years seemed to go by slowly. I never expected to be thrust into my grad ■ year, with plans for the future, and a whole new beginning to life. And only now (with a few short months left), have I realized that the years I thought would last forever have slipped by without my even noticing. I've had so much fun with friends that nothing I wnte could do justice to the times we've spent. Some of the best fhends I'll ever have I've met here, some right from the young days of kindergarten, and many more

along the way. To my girls; I love you all. and never forget how fun. and amazing each of you are. in your own way. To all

the guys; It's definitely been fun! To those I have left behind; Hang in there; you'll be finished before you know it' To my family;

I want to thank you for everything, you've been great. I love you all! And to the siblings; You may have a long way to go yet.

but treasure every moment, have fun. and be good! And finally to everyone I've already mentioned, and to those I haven't;

I've learnt from you all, and with the knowledge I have acquired. I'm finally ready to cross the finish line. Good luck to the

graduating class of 2002. I wish each of you the very best! IT'S BEEN FUN!

If 1 were to acknowledge anyone for my triumpli and failure, it would be my parents. My 46 cfiromosomes

were pretty much essential in my life, as well as my education. Yes indeed, eacti of their 23 segments of

genetic information have come in handy, and I am grateful Mommy and Daddy. As far as faculty goes. Alan

will always be remembered. He introduced me to the pain and pleasure of two wheels. Judy T: I must thank

for getting me to run as hard as I could, even if she never remembered to bring Oreos. Leggat was

instrumental for teaching me to properly fly fish, instead of just waiving a stick above my head. McLeod

was a great...! cant quite place what it was but he was really great at it and I owe him more than I know. To anyone I have

made friends with. I wish you all the success, because I'm sure not going to have it. Keep in touch so I can borrow money

some day. The future is hazy and I think I lost the manual. Ah well, dam's de brakes.

Hyun Joo. don't give too much flirt on every boys- Min Gee, I hope you will survive at SMU. Min Jung, don't

put yourself too tight (you are too skinny!). Yuko, it was nice to be your roommate this year. (I wish I could

go to Japan dunng this summer.) Hyo Jung. I hope you'll get tanned a little (your skin is too pale!). And thanks a lot to my all class teachers. Lastly, to someone I truly love, thank you for being there' when I needed although you might have been suffered at the same time. I wish you the best and hope you'll achieve everything you wanted.

You'd think after 5 years of school here Id have more to say. I'll probably think of something profound to write long after this has been published but I suppose these things happen. I could always give my shout outs to AB and CD in the EFG but then I'd end up looking at this years and years from now and wondering who AB and CD are and if they still make EFGs anymore. In short, my time here has been well spent and I have lots of people to thank for that. You know who you are. To those I have loved, you know I love you. To those I didn t know, well-l loved some of you, too. To those I never got along with- don't worry: somebody else probably loved you for me.

When contemplating what to say in this seemingly unimportant bulletin of 1 8 years of life, it is hard to pick out specific moments which I can sincerely say that I will remember for the rest of my lite. However, a few things stand out in my life at SMUS. In chronological order: Playing soccer in grade 4, Breaking Brad's arm. Presents from Glen. Highlight reel soccer with Woody, Snowboarding with Karlie. Colts Rugby. Rugby Tour and the following second bout of

pneumonia. Joining the bodybuilding community with an equally as skinny Patnck in grade 1 1 . Discovering that -Life is all

It seems strange to be saying my goodbyes, when 1 feel as it I've only just arnved! I stepped of the plane

to glorious sunshine, thus was lulled into a false sense of security as I topped up my tan into September.

Somewhere along the line, the heavens opened and someone forgot to close the door. Several rain-filled

months later (and no, it does not rain THIS much where I am from!), I've finally grasped the 'lingo" of a

land where "pants" are trousers and "fries" are chips, and seem to have survived the culture shock! My

biggest thank you's must go to my roomie Candace, for putting up with me; Kathryn, for always being there;

and Rebecca, for all the car rides (lock the door!) and weekend adventures. There are so many people I have to thank for

making this year the success it has been, and there isn't enough room for you all. But to those people, you know who you

are. I will never forget you. There is always floor space in my crummy student flat in Edinburgh! Till we meet again... "The

A lot of people are really glad that school is over and they can move on to bigger and better things. I feel exactly the opposite. I really didn't want school to end— but the old cliche is true: ■All good things must come to an end." Before I finish, however, I would like to say, here's to the Grad class of 2002! Thanks Khstie (Here's to dancing around the room in kindergarten). Thanks Elise (we're going to conquer that French). To all the lifers: I'm really going to miss you guys. Thanks Kate and Jen for always sticking by me. To my family: thanks for such a wonderful education. And last but not least, thanks to all my teachers who made this the best time I could ever irhagine.^^ ._

(what kind of connect 4 will we invent next), and Kasim (Razmatazz, when are the dolls coming out of the

closet)! Senior school is a blast. Anna, I enjoyed your comments on 'bitch sport'. Alex, sometime tell me

some advanced rowing tips and thcks (haha). PJ man, you must admit the K car is a pretty phat place to be.

KOzone, we should chill more. Vicky, your teths skill is mind numbing. Sorry if I have omitted anyone. Yes.

I have some splendid teachers this year. Mr. Gardiner, thanks for your part in the cultivation of our brains. Mr. Leggatt. your

frequent tinkering with colourful potions suggests that you are none other than a wizard! Thanks most of all to my family, you

are very important to me. To the grads, I am glad to have known you, and wish each the best of luck. Witness grad diffusion

My love and thanks go out to Elsie and Mahsol, my geology study buddies, for all the times you guys stood by me. Khstie: I will never forget searching for your tennis balls in Windsor Park, a true adventure if you ask me. Devon: I'm so glad we got to know each other better. Thanks for being my geography partner in grade 11.1 hope I returned all your pens. To Rebecca, Megan, Anne-Mane and

support and sense of humour will stay with me forever and may our fhendship continue for many years to come. To my family.

you are the reason I am the person I am today. I love you guys very much. And finally to the Grad class of 2002. this is only

the beginning. Live it all! ■

tThanks for listening: Bogutz: would you like the oil checked today, too?; Grace: You're NOT annoying:

Alex: Hey look! No pessimism, Saltspring jokes, or my being misanthropic! Thanks for always being there. To my parents:

Thank you for everything, although I may not have ever expressed it enough. To anyone I forgot: my apologies - you know

it wasn't intentional. "I was trying to feel some kind of a good-bye ... I don't care if it's a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye,

The end of the beginning has arrived. Five years ago. when I first arrived in grade eight at the Middle School, I thought that graduation was a long way away. But time is a tricky thing: the present drags on. the future beckons, and the past whizzes by. My years at St. Michaels have taught me a lot about academics and about other people; but more importantly, SMUS helped me discover more about myself. An enormous part of this personal development and discovery I owe to my teachers: Mr. Young, Mr. Richards. Mr. Keble, Ms. Roth,

Mr. Gauthier, Dr. Matthews. To all of you, thank you. To those who made it possible for me to come to St.

Michaels in the first place - Mr. Wilson, the Hudsons. Mr. Snowden - thank you. To my parents for always being there - thank you. From the support, encouragement and inspiration of these people and many others, I have now arrived at a place of many diverging paths. Perhaps they all ultimately lead to the same place - 1 don't know. But what I do know is that with one hand holding a St. Michaels diploma and the other hand outstretched, anything is possible. One of my favourite authors. Oscar Wilde, once said, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. " I want to not only look at. but also reach for the stars.

2001-2002

Ryan came to SMUS in the year 2001 as a mid-sized, skinny kid from Philly. He walked and talked differently from everyone else, but there was something he had which others did not: the chill factor. What is the chill factor? It's something that Sollis brought to SMUS life, and something that has brushed off on his friends in a good way. Ryan wants to thank his mom and dad. To the SMUS guys: Keep muckin' it in the corners and keep it real. Ryan spent lots of time in the gym, but unfortunately it didn't pay off as he left SMUS as a mid-sized, skinny kid from Philly.

Wow. After 13 years of SMU, I'm not sure what to say, except that I guess I get one of those beer mugs. I've learned a lot. though I'm not sure that I can remember any of it. Junior school was fun, as was middle school, but the highlight was definitely senior school: parties, skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing. It was great. To those who helped me, my friends and family, thanks for everything.

John Speed

1998-2002

Upon entering the school in grade 9, 1 was oblivious to what was going on around me. I had no idea that

people were cutting corners by skipping the occasional class or, as a boarding student, sneaking out at

night. It was a sure fire way for me to lose my focus and to end up with the rest of the crowd. Despite it

all. I overcame the challenge by working hard and by being naive. Following that year, things started to

pick up and I found a new found respect for the school, as well as the students, upon the discovery of some

profound people who have taught me more than what I've learned in the classroom. There was the

eccentric Brian Wu who was my friend and mentor, my soft-spoken friend Daisuke Yukawa and my brother Paul who kept

me well grounded. Last but not least there's my parents who deserve more than their share of credit and appreciation for

lifting me up when I was down. I love them and thank them for offering me a fuller life. In a category of her own, I'm going

to mention someone who has been more than a friend. Talia Weston is unlike many who I have met and deserves a thousand

kisses for her impact on my life. In embarking into university, I can look back on my times at SMUS and say that they were

some of the best times of my life. I may forget the things I learned from my teachers but I'll never forget the people who have

paved my path to life long success and happiness.

This is my first and hopefully (I don't really want to repeat Gr.12) my last year studying at SMUS. In these few months, I've already gained so much experience that I feel my self grow old all of a sudden. Although not all things that I've gone through are good, it's not bad at all. Last but not least, thanks to all who became my friends and cared about me. I would really like to spend more time with you people, maybe outside school? A movie would be nice.

Well. Its been a long 13 years here at SMUS. Fnends. family and the odd teacher have made life here bearable, sometimes fun. Regrettably, I haven't been able to do everything I set out to accomplish: however, I've made many fond memories throughout my school days. Junior school: i can't remember much of those days. Middle school was great: DMB starting us off on our rugby careers. Senior school was, well, you all know how senior school is. Rugby was exciting as always, with 7's. KoZone Adventure Tours, and XV's.

Kristen Vernon 1995-2002

thanks to a few certain people. Flori. for the last 7 years you've been my best friend and partner in crime.

and La Fontana) , and our snowboarding supremacy. Thank you for always being there for me, and making

these years more exciting and unpredictable. Avalon: thank you for your invaluable friendship, support.

First and foremost, much love and thanks to mom and dad for blessing and chenshing me until this date No words can express my gratitude. To my one and only sister Sung Hyun who still haven't found the perfect one: I love you so much for always trusting and believing in me. To sweetest little piggy Julia Lee, I wish you good lucl< with your boyfnend. I l<now you are going to marry him. To Anna Park who lov.es "H.O.T", I know you are going to meet them someday. Just keep on dreaming. To Thelesa Chung who

hopes to marry a rich guy who's sister owns a beauty shop so she can get her hair done everyday. I know

you can make that dream come true. You just have to become super slender and loose at least 20 pounds from now on. To Yeon Joo Bae, I will miss our trips and missions to Ebizo (chop chop scallop cone and hot port noodle). To all the people I know in SMUS (including all the Koreans), you guys will remain most dear in my heart, I wish you guys the best. Lastly, thanks to all the teachers in SMUS. ^

1998-2002

I came to SMU in Grade 9 as a social outcast, a pasty sullehfriendless glasses-and-braces-weanng geek.

Now, four years later, I no longer have glasses or braces,,, I've got so many people to thank that I'd

personally strangle the character limit if it had anything resembling a neck. Hugh, thanks for Ph34r1 ng my

I33t h4x0r ski Hz and passing the Goat-torch to the next generation. Conal: always remember, if the

Scatman can do it, so can you. Rebecca, words cannot express how muchsdfhs°o'^@/DWA! Grace, thank

you for not kicking me in the groin repeatedly, even when I was being somewhat less than "devilish". Kasim,

just remember - we always do something fun. Pick two while you're thinking about that, Nicola, please don't shoot guys in

the head when they ask you what time it is. And, of course, thanks condolences to everyone else who's been in a room with

me on a regular basis and avoided going insane. It's been alternately fun and not fun, just like life, hmm? I know you're

supposed to end these things with a quote, so I'll use the only one that seems suitable...

"I could've stayed in the past. Could've even been king. But in my own way, I am king. Hail to the king, baby,"

Matthew Woodland 1996-2002

After receiving the call up from the GNS farm leaguesto the big show at SMU. Matt made a formidable

impression. His career spanned the same years as Big Country Reeves', although the latter enjoyed less

success. His illustrious career was highlighted by victories over Lakehill and Spicer's team, a tour to the

UK where he put his medicinal instincts to use to fix a remedy for Paps in suburban Glasgow and days

spent pondering the existence of the quintessential rabbert. Memories of peering out of a seedy stnp club

door to see Dunga and his version of Glasgow Jenny and the honey pot. Chucking the pigskin with Sally

' (So I was talking to Stephanie,,, you won't believe what happened). Learning the finer points of rucking

upon admitting to my sins at Maddenfest, A blery good Kaffir calling me boss ja? Sagasse, Expenencing the Cold War in

Costa Rica and the unforgettable adventures of scalp man. Matt showed his philosophical side as he contemplated how

many could fit in a car or on a cross (Good luck in Dagobah). Hambone good luck at Reefer U. Flori, Skipp, and Dutchie good

luck and stay chill, Bekki. you've made it all memorable, more than all the stars. Mom, Dad, Nana, and Georgie - thanks

for the opportunity to go here it was the greatest of pleasures. "A witty quote proves nothing," ^

1989-2002

I came to SMU a short (true) four year old with terrible hair, and I am proud to leave with a future in sight,

a million memories, decent hair, and the best friends anyone could dream of. Thirteen years of tears,

melodramatic middle school (Flor and Kristen), boys, time with friends, and so much laughter it hurts. And

gosh we had fun. The girls: you are my sanctuary, my shrinks, my saviors, and my replacement sisters.

Liz. you've always been there for me, and I will always be just a call away. Never forget our trips: Costa

Rica. Montreal, the Lake, and the laughs (millions of them)! Grade my US girl. Minions, dinner nights with

Sheila, -why are you STILL eating?" movie nights, and more, Aussie 03 is on. I'll miss you. Franny: you'll always be a mess.

TT was created on Halloween. You and Grace: Vancouver trips, modeling photos and all over trouble. Andrea: your

excitement and positivity will take you places that no one could ever dream of. Gall me when you've written your book (chem

1 1 ). Karls Mt.Washington is our haven. Stakeout at Liz's. The Bball girls:Steve will always be our princess. Bear you prove

that there are some amazing males on this earth. Mom and Dad, thank you for believing in me. Kath: my hero and my best

friend. I love you. To everyone who has touched my life at all, Thanks.

Good Lucic Grad 2002

Wind. Rain. More rain. Blisters. Any sport that involves so much discomfort is very special. A record number of almost 60 row- ers participated this year, and achieved ex- cellent results during a competitive season. Due to the extremely large team, some ath- letes practiced on the water Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday, while others attended on just Saturday. Regardless, all crews pulled

-y and sent on six crews to the Island Champi- onships. Special recognition goes to the Se- nior Girls 2x, which placed 2nd at the Islands; the Senior Novice Girls 8+ also placed 2nd, the Senior Novice Boys 8+ placed third; and the Junior Novice Boys 4x placed 3rd. All of the athletes involved this season improved tremendously, due to their commitmentand their great coaches. Thanks to Mrs. Walinga, Jeff Len and Tracy for their tremendous effort and dedication (sorry about all those crashes.'). This is the first year that SMUS will be sending a team on to the Nationals in June, in St. Catherine 's, Ontario. To all the rowers congratulations on a great season and pull hard!

The Senior Girls' team had the most successful season in SMUS history. The first

indication of the team's talent came with a strong second place finish at the ISA

K tournament where the girls were undefeated until the finals. At the Saltspring

'^ a Wildcard. Anna Burianova was named an All-Star at the Island Tournament. A

■ second place finish at the Wildcard tournament meant that the SMUS volleyball team

' would get a chance to compete against the top teams in the Province, arguably for the first

^ ^ time. So, the hotel in Mission became somewhat of a second home for two weekends in a row,

as both the Wildcard and the'Provincials took place in "downtown " Mission. During a stressful! exam week, the girls played volleyball during the day and wrote exams in the hotel at night. Making it to the Provincials, however, made this slight inconvenience worthwhile and the memories of this season will last longer than the pain caused by the exams. Thank you very much for a great season girls! -Anna

LLEYBALL

After the season opening ISA exhibition tournament, the team [ finished 2-2-2, which proved to be an uncanny prophecy of the season to come. The first fidl ISA game was tragically lost 24-12 to Brentwood. The team showed a general disinterest in tackling, which was further ham- pered by the season ending loss of P. Fernandez, the team 's best defender. Following a veiy lopsided home defeat to Shawnigan. the team quickly refocused its attention on St. George's, traditionally the toughest oppo- nent. Despite tremendous SMUS pressure in the waning minutes, several missed opportunities allowed the hosts decisively win. A 32-5 victory over Dover Bay, achieved with a balanced effort from both forwards and backs, certainly boosted team confidence. At Shawnigan, the team led for much of the match but couldn't pull together to win, which resulted in a 17-17 tie. B. Paick demonstrated some excellent skills, while A. Cavin again played a strong game as well. On a muddy day. D. Kim had tremendous success in the hooker position. The best performance of the season was

also the final ISA game at Brentwood. J. Kim was outstanding in open field play; his tremendous work rate in.%trumental m several of th -Many others also did their bit, especially in two e.xhibition victories against Esquinmit, and it was shame the season finished just as the _ _ f^- actually starting to win.

wins and 7 losses. Finishing with a re- / spectable 6- 1 record and in 2nd place in ■ the city competition.

The season should not be judged however by the record ^ of wins and losses, but by the personal K progress and team goals achieved along the way. Co-captains J. Mitchelmore from fly-half, and B.

season, with both skill and positional play. The team also suffered the loss of three / key players early in the season due to injury, or in the case of Craig Covin, pending jaw surgery. Throughout the regular season, the team started slowly against | opponents and found themselves trying to fight back from early goal deficits. The team worked hard and was led by Aaron Bogutz, Sean Bell and David Spicer. The league was also quite strong this season and we finished in a disappointing eighth place, which allowed us to compete in the Colonist Shield playoffs. With all players back from injury, we defeated fifth place Claremont in an exciting 6-5 overtime game and then went on to victory in the Colonist Shield final against Stellys. This was a strong fmish to a disappointing season, that left many wondering what could have been, lest the injuries.

The 2002 Track and Field team

featured a wide vari- ety of talents, from those that have never previously competed on a school team to others whose main athletic focus throughout the third term have been the meets in May and June. Overall goals for the season included personal improvement and encouragement of new athletes. With lots of hard work and cfefgrm^^p|ji(Hp^^. jumpers, and throwers advanced their skills and produced some excellent results. Once again the format of the Grand Pri.x League allowed students to experiment, receive expert coaching and enjoy extensive competitive opportunities. At the junior level, students were encouraged to try new events, maintain a high level of participation and develop fundamental skills. As the season ad- vanced impressive progression was evident, producing strong overall and individual results in the Ci^wtd-Island meets. At fh«i senior level several talented runners and vaulters focused on their specialties, resulting in numerous outstanding performances, sev- eral league records and many personal bests. Provincial qualifi- ers included Andrew Orr (2000m steeplechase), Anna Kohlen (pole vault), and Keny Spearing (3000m and 1500m steeple- chase). At the B.C. Championships all three of these exceptional athletes ran personal bests in their perspective events and finished in the top eight. The coaches. Ms. Tobacco and Ms. Hoffer wish to

I congratulate and thank all of the students who participated during the season. Well done!

Although, this year's Junior Girls basketball team didn 't have the most successful season they did have a great time playing together. Made up of a great mix of girls, we certainly proved to be the most fun loving of teams. Missing the city playoffs was definitely disappointing, but that didn 't discourage. The girls continued to practice and play extremely well, which was evident in the concluding tournament in Vancouver. It was wonderful to see the huge improve- , ments made by everyone from the first day oftryouts in December, right i the way through to the final games late in February. Congratulations . to all of the girls who played on the team this year, and it will f undoubtedly be exciting to see them progress over the next few years here at SMUS. Thanks also to their fabulous coach, Ms. Rebecca Hoffer, who pushed them to the limits, and helped develop their basketball skills. For the gr. 9 's. keep up the good work for next year's junior team, and good luck to the gr. JO's who are continuing on to the senior level. Remember, "Go hard or go home! "

From the outset, it appeared that perennial rival Mt. Douglas would be the elite squad on the Island, but that any one of six others might grab the coveted second berth to the BC AAA Tournament. So it proved for the team, after a topsy turvy regular season and playoffs.

In the City Tournament, a late game collapse against Claremont resulted in an eventual South #4 starting position in the Islands, an event sperhaps fortunately held at SMUS.

t In the opening game, against North #1 NDSS, some inspired second %alf defence against opposition star Angel Mack produced a six point WA>in. and another crack at Claremont, this time with a BC berth on the pne. A tremendous third quarter, sparked by Beckie Macdonald and ^nna Burianova, saw the team up 15 points with only seven minutes to %lay. A nerve jangling final few minutes, complete with the traditional M0meback by the visitors, ended only after a crucial foul line jumper from tare Tweedie and some late free throws guaranteed the win. \ At the BCs, the school 's first visit since that of the 1 998 Final 4 ted e team won one of four games to finish 13"'. Macdonald and Anna mrianovawere the main cogs in the team, with Tweedie. Jaclyn Platen, 'ebekka Keough and Andrea Thompson also playing a lot of minutes. Hhers who made valuable contributions included Robin Pierce, Jo ^ynn, Meara Crawford and Zoe Gamache.

; A solid nucleus of players returns for the 2002-2003 .season, with both le City and Island zones promising to be just as competitive. Thanks to ft for their efforts.

Theseasonbeganwith L; ' great expectations, given the \ :' ^ arrival of several talented Grade \ 1 Is from a successful Junior pro- gram. To this group was added three returning seniors, and newcomers Chris Ufford and Jeff Downs.

Unfortunately, a steady stream of injuries seriously dis- rupted any meaningful exhibition season, with key starters out for extended periods of time. However, despite the public school job action, which limited play throughout January, the team eventually began to show some kind of form in the New Year.

An 8-0 league record (including a 7 1-67 win overBC#8 Claremont) -et the stage for playoffs. With BC qualification at stake, the team came %rough underpressure, although two second half collapses against Claremont Itboth the City and Island finals underlined some fundamental weaknesses. I At the BCs, the squad played in fits and starts, never getting

mtracked against a powerful En ver Creek outfit on Day 1 . A subsequent win per LV Rogers (Nelson), and tough loss to Surrey's Fleetwood Park ended ite quest for a top 8 provincial finish.

i When at full strength, Logan Smythe, Ryan Willms, Jeff Downs,

'Craig Cavin and Mike Pyke formed the starting unit. David Spicer was an kjivaluable 6"' man. with Dave Jawl and Mark Quinlan also in the main Rotation. With all but three plovers returning, the team will begin the 2002- f003 season ranked top 4 in BC. How it will handle life under the microscope Remains to be seen.

I Manx thanks to Mr. Rick Humphreys and Mr. Cam Clark for their

Assistance, and to the minor officials for a difficult job well done.

The Junior Boys played through adversity^ this season. They began-^as-wt inexperienced group but showed steady improvement and learned to play well as a team. The season record was 15W - 8L. After a slow start to the season, and injuries to key players, the boys rallied to win 13 games in a row. This winning streak included a ]" place finish in the Emerald Tournament at Vancouver College and an exciting home victory in overtime over Reynolds in league play. The team

ended league play with 7W -2L and entered the city

, playoffs with high hopes. A teacher 's strike reformatted the playoffs to a single knockout format and unfortunately, a first round loss to Reynolds ended a promising season. Congratulations, to the boys, for their dedication and enthusiasm. Taylor Willms and David Crapo showed excellent leadership throughout the season. Adam Maclean gave a new meaning to hard work on the court. Grade 9's, Richard Ma and Andrew Cavin, played admirably all season.

The badminton team is a team that competes against all AA and AAA high sch top players from all the students in Grades 9-12.

In league play this year, the team had a 6-1 record. At the Lower Island Tournament, the SMUS team ousted last year's champs Oak Bay, and won in convincing fashion, beating Claremont 9 games to 2. This qualified the team for the provincials.

At the Provincial Tournament in Vancouver, the SMUS team appeared nervous at the start of the tournament, but settled in and performed very well for the remainder of the tournament. The games went as follows:

6-5 Loss vs. Eric Hamber i^

9-2 Win vs. Kelowna ^:

9-2 Win vs. Crawford Bay ^v

6-5 Loss vs. J. P. Burnett 6-5 Loss vs. Maple Ridge 9-2 Win vs. North Delta

The SMUS Badminton team finished a very respectable 7"' place in the province. This finish was the top on the island, second for AA schools, and was the best result the school has had in 6 years.

Leading the way this year was the undefeated singles champion. Brad Jawl. In addition, the doubles play ofKristie Tyrell and Shannon Ko was outstanding. The twin towers of Elliot Holtham and Trevor Chan proved to be too much for most teams, while Annie Au and Massey Poon gave their opposition the 'Hong Kong Flu '.

I thank each individual on the team, and I look forward to another unbelievable season next year.

This year's tennis season was one of the most suc- cessful in recent memory. Tennis stirred an unprecedented amount of interest this year, and as a result we were fortunate enough to have a very large and competitive team consisting of players of all different abilities from grades 9 through 12. Under the leadership of coach Dave Kirstine, the team en- joyed an unbeatetf Sfe'tU'tf/K awitf continued this streak Vancouver Island Championships, ultimately dej, Shawnigan Lake in the finals to win the Island title for the j. time in many years.

ffi SOCCER '

This year the junior girls ' soccer team had high hopes, with the skills of the returning players and I enthusiasm right from the beginning, hi a very competitive league in which many teams had several players with Metro and club affdiations, the inexpe- rience of the team and injuries led to a slow start. The team displayed tremendous determination through- out the season and were the only team to score on a very powerful Oak Bay squad. Coaches Steve KerrandBeth Johnston were pleased with the effort of all players and were impressed by the marked improvement in the team 's ball control and passing.

The 2002 version of the Senior Girls Soccer Team began the season with great promise due to numer- ous returning players and an excellent goalkeeper in Vicky Alfred. The large number of teams in the league, combined with a late start to league play resulted in two pools being created and then a cross-over at the mid-season point into tiers "A^ "AA" arm "AAA^ /Ai^ a~''AA" school this~ vented us from having some challenging mate against "AAA " teams late in the season, whii would have proven beneficial. Our league pl< was strong, winning five of eight games, enablin'^ us to qualify for the first ever Island Tournament. In a back-and- forth match against Gulf Islands, we were defeated in the final minutes 1-0. tlius ending our bid to return to the Provincials. I commend all of the girls for their efforts this season and wish them much success in the future.

The 2002 senior rugby sea- \k ||y y^ ' H F . _ Y . m son began with much anticipation as ■

tlw 1st XV set its sights on claiming the provincial title. The squad competed in the BC Premier I competition before entering local playoffs, while the 2nd XV played in the local league as well I as exhibition games. The 2nd XV produced some promising rugby, recording two wins over each of Spectrum, Esquimalt and Claremont but going down to the Brentwood College and Oak Bay 2ndXV's, and visiting Holy Trinity School from Ontario. To the team S credit, it ended the season with a fine come from behind win over West Vancouver and a one-sided victory against Claremont in the city semi-final. Among the many solid performers we re fullback and goal-kicker Liam Gorman, flyhalf Chris Dewar. hooker Paul Bregg, prop Ryman Wong, lock Conal Shepherd and number eight and leading try scorer Tosh Matsumura. The 1st XV season started well with t^vo victories overBrent\vood College. Most unfortunately, in the second of these games. fullback Mike Pyke. recently returned from National team duty at the U19 World Cup in Italy, suffered a serious hand injury that would keep him out of action for a month. This altered the team 's preparation for the weather delayed Boot Game against Oak Bay, played in front of 1200 people at UVic. The tecun played well, but despite a late rally the Boot returned to Oak Bay. iM-elve of the squad then took part in the BC Sevens Tournament, reaching the Cup semifinals. The team then defeated G.P.Vanier in Premier play before inking on Oak Bay in the much anlicipated Alumni Dax match. After a slow stan the team bounced away to lead by 1 7 points . midwtt y th rough the second half but had to hold on desperately as Oak Bay fought hack to within three points at the final whistle. This victory guaranteed a game against Car.wn Graham from North Vancouver for the overall Premier title. Although the team began well. Carson Graham was too strcmg on the dav. winning 55-24. Next up was the Howard Russell Cup final, with the sea.wn series against Oak Bay, and crucial ranking position for the BCs at stake. Sdly errors immediatelv after halftime left the team not only playing into the elements but also 22-7 in arrears, i ,

Then in the best nassaee of play all year, the squad caught fire, scoring three spectacular tries V. , ;

w the final. Despite a disappointing fourth place BC finish, the season still had its J^

successes. Much fine rugby was played while all involved gained many valuable I

memories and experiences. While not wishing to take anything away from the team

effort, .several players deserve mention. Scrumhalfand captain Dave Jawl lead from the _ __ -, — ...-

front and was named as a non-traveling reserve for the Canada U19 team. He was ably kn. <

supported in the backs by wings Reed Kipp and Pieter Colson (who represented the USA

at the U19 World Cup), fullback Craig Gavin, while centre Dave Spicer was top scorer

(10 tries, 118 points) and was named to the BC School Commissioner's XV. In the

forwards, prop Paul Jenkins, lockJasonKo, andthebackrowofMattLyall, Chris Adair,

Yet another good year is unfolding. Again some 60+ students have been actively involved in playing cricket this year at SMUS. The players were given the opportunity to play in J or more of 4 different types of teams, namely: 1"' XI, 2'"' XI. Midweek League and Girls. Good leadership was shown in these teams by Andrew Murgatroyd, Stuart Jones, John Campbell, Kasim Husain, Hugh Macintosh, Nick Black, and Meara Crawford, who. between them, organised teams for the approxi- \ mately 40 games we played in the 6 weeks of "Summer".

- J

A

H^*-

In general we did very well against the competition, which in the Midweek league is quite formidable with many players having some 20 or 30 years cricket experi- ence. In general, our fielding was extremely good, our bowling excellent, but unfortunately, perhaps, there was often insufficient depth in the batting. Neverthe- less, with excellent all-round ability shown by Takaya Brunner, Owen Parrot, Ashish Kumar, Fahad Jahangir, Colin Macintosh, Ivan Celuszak and Nader Ahmed, combined with the excellent wicket-keeping ofNavraj Chima, and for the I girls Jaimie Lai, Victoria Lai and Chelsea Phipps the next couple of years bode well.

As usual I would like to thank Tony Cordle, Mel Jones, Donna Williams. David Gauthier and, in particular, Mike Walsh for all their help and assistance.

Our core team this year consisted of the Orr brothers, Andy and Robert, Cassidy McLean, Jason Zapantis, the Mexican connection of Jose Piirata and Patricio de la Garza, Mark Bridgeman and Jonathan Ejfa from the Middle School. Our race season consisted of three mountain bike challenges at the local "mecca ", the Hartland Road Dump, a "time trial" road race at Willis Point, and culminated with the BC High School Open Mountain Bike Race in North Vancouver on May 25. While we didn't win any races, we were an enthusiastic group that showed steady improvement during the campaign. Andy Orr is the one rider who will be graduating this year.

THE GREAT

Rain or shine (with lots of enthusiasm) the

Senior School students set out on their grade

^ trips at the beginning of they ear. Sea Kayaking in

the Gulf Islands, Surf Kayaking in Tofino. mountaineering in the

mountains, "Jionie-cooked" meals, rock climbing in Skaha, whale-

"watching... these are just a few activities that the students had the

opportunity to enjoy. As always, thanks to the Grade 12 leaders who

played an invaluable role in helping oversee and organise the trips.

After the initial burst of activity in the fall, the spring ^nd

summer proved to be equally exciting. With the new group of

leaders in training testing their skills, more trips were in order (sea

kayaking, backpacking and snow-camping among ihe many

activities available). In short, another great year in the outdoors at,

SMUS. Thanks to everyone for your support and enthusiasm over

the year!

Chapel services at Senior School occur on Wednesdays and Fridays and this year, Boarders Chapel had special events in addition to the usual Sunday evening services:

The Venerable Bagdro, a Buddhist monk, shared his experiences of imprisonment, torture and escape from a terrible life in Tibet. A meeting with the Dalai Lama resulted in the dedication of his life to World Peace. His visit to SMUS elicited many questions from stu- dents who learned that freedom of speech and freedom of religion' are not available in some countries and that to express one's thoughts/beliefs can result in imprison- ment or more.

At Christmas, a candlelight "Lessons and Carols" service with wonderful singing by the mass choir and gathered community contributed to the festivity of the season soon to begin as students left for their break.

Chapel Wardens, Grade 1 2 students Ivan Golian, James Maledy, Avalon McLean, Adam Miron and Grace Quinn assisted the Chaplain in the preparation of the Chapel for Senior School and Boarders

services, serving with dignity, rever-

Ience and joy as lectors, taper bearers and Crucifers at regular and special services.

Amusing how rain always thundered On broken couples. And under shadows. Perhaps laughter depresses the sun.

Not motivational on crippled Mondays, More cynical then I first looked, your Pictures still refuse to move out of the fames.

Ever since I was blinded, I fail to see Reflections. Dreams should stay dreams, While reality should be as cruel as the last.

Sorrow lives like us, under milestones Of life. Born and died at the same time. With senconds to spare, moments to remeber.

I gave the last gasp, and sank like the old Lady sitting dead on the front porch that Sunday afternoon, where no one cared at all.

So goes love as we weaken the strength of three words.

Finally, we were thrilled with the response from the number of sUidents who helped out at the SMUS second annual participation in the Victoria Festival of Trees event. This year's theme of "Youth and Peace" proved to be a wonderful choice and the students and staff who participated and those in the community who viewed the trees at the Empress Hotel enjoyed the event! This community service programme contributed $1500 and many gifts and toys to the BC Children's Hospital. Great work! Thanks to all the students who support the Admissions office in so many ways throughout the year!

Peer counselling at SMUS is made up of a keen group of students who volunteer their time to help their friends. Acquiring basic counseHing skills is the main order of business, backed up by learning what resources are available to people who need help with life situations. One of the most difficult things that peer counsellors learn is that people have to provide their own solutions to their o\\ n problems. Harassment, violence, suicide, depression, addictions, eating disorders, sexual issues are some of the topics that get .specific attention. The time conmiitnient for peer counsellors is significant, but so is the satisfaction of helping. It is a tluee-season activity . and the formal meeting times are a small part of the time spent. Some students have been with the group for three years and continue to learn. The concrete advantages of being a Peer Counsellor Lue varied: the hours can be counted toward CAPP work experience or for the service component cif the Duke of Edinbiugh program, it is a useful acti\ ity to have on a university resume, and the learned communication skills are attractive to employers. Besides all that it is fun. and an opportuni!\ to relate to other students in a very different wav. It is also fun I

Art and Squash Clubs

The art club began this year when students expressed a desire tor more time to work in the art room and to try unusual projects together as a group. We began our first projects experimenting with clay and paper mache and tossed around ideas of how to develop a project idea wiih a\ lew to sell our work. For Halloween we carved the peel ol pumkins away and allowed for a variety of levels of light to show through. In December, students designed and painted their own ties with a holiday theme and created a beautiful group display in the library. As the year progressed, more projects unfolded including designing and making the stage sets for the musical "South Pacific" and other playful explorations in the world of the visual arts.

Squasli is game offiitense skill, fitness, and concentration. The SMUS squash club metevery Tuesday and Thur.sday at the Nautilus Sports Centre on Quadra St. and Reynolds. The club comprised a wide range of skill le\ el. and so everyone and anyone was welcome to drop in. Instruction and lessons were also offered, if desired. Some students have fun playing each other and developing a healthy sense of competition, whereas others take a more relaxed approach, and are more sociable on the court. Some even enjoy practicing squash on their own time. This year, squash was enjoyed thoroughly by all, so come join the fun!

[ In many ways, this has been a building year for both the Junior

Chess is an excellent activity for the mind that involves planning, problem solving, strategy and intuitive thinking. The SMUS chess club meets every Monday and Wednesday in the Science Building in room 210 at 3:30pm and ains until 4:45pni. Chessboards and pieces are provided, and everyone is welcome to drop in. The current membership comprises a wide range of ability levels, as well as a wide range of age levels. Junior and Middle School students are welcome to drop in as well as Senior School students, and in fact some of the most regular current club members are Middle School students. The club provides an opportunity for students to play chess with other students, and chess puzzles are set up on a demonstra- tion board to be solved by the insightful student. Saidents add variety to the afternoon by playing chess variants such as Siamese Chess or chess-like games of their own creation, which seems to be a big hit especially among Middle School Students. Come join in the fun!

Arts Council is a devoted group of students consisting of at least two students from grades nine to twelve.

These students have been selected by their peers and meet every week to discuss student life on campus and how

I we can expand their experience and involvement in and out of school. We do this by planning activities and events

hat will interest, motivate, and encourage students in art. music, and drama, whether it is within the school or

intside. For instance, the council has set up trips throughout the year to watch theatre at the Belfry, to watch

ymphony performances, and to see operas. The council is also in charge of setting up special e\ents such as the

soon to be annual talent show. The goal of all these activities is to give students the opportunity to experience

things that they normally would not be able to. These are a few of the things the Fine Arts Council does to

encourage student involvement in all sorts of arts and to show the students that there is more to St. Michaels

University School than academic. And second, expose students to something they may have not seen before.

The /Vcademic Council consists of student representatives from all grades who bring forward various concerns. The counciFs role is to search for solutions to these issues and to nnpro ve situations for the future. The council also worked on improving rapport between faculty and students; one way in which this was done was by creating an academic council e-mail address. Another project undertaken by the Academic Council was to recognize students who do not normally receive formal academic recognition. In the future, the Academic Council hopes to expand the connection between the representatives and other students in order to facilitate the best possible exchange of ideas. The reputation that this council hopes to begin to establish is one of pro-activity and enthusiasm. All its members meet on a regular basis and are continuously working for the benefit of the students.

Student council— the presidine student leader'sWp co""'^'' ^t the school— senses as a forum for strident concerns to be discussed, voiced to faculty, and ultimately acted upon. This year' s council, comprised of 1 4 dedicated student leaders ft-ora grades 9 through 1 2 under the superN ision of Mr. Tongue, tackled several pertinent issues such as the school dress code. school awards, and school social functions. It is always difficult to simply make reforms to school traditions, yet this year s council succeeded in makina amendmems to the school's uniform policy, and also in initiating positive change on seve- other fronts Though severarprojects have not yet been fully completed, hopefully next year's council will be able to p up where this year's left off. Thanks go out to all of student council members for demonstrating such a high level of commitment, and for representing their grades Sft. well.

This Spring Break 1 5 of the field hockey team hit Barba- dos, lead by Mr. Hunt and Wendy. Some may think we mainly went for the sun, sea, sand and nightlife. . . and they would be wrong.

The Trip didn't exactly start off the right way. with a4- hour delay in Toronto, but this did not dampen the spirits of those in search of sun. Eventually we reached Bridgetown. Barbados, to sweltering heat (not helped by black tracksuits).

We played our first game the next day at a "hockey pitch"" which mysteriously resembled a "4' s" cricket pitch with a set of goal posts. Sadly, due to extreme heat and fatigue we lost our first game to the Barbados All Star Juniors. Tlie run of bad luck didn't end until our third game, which was a convincLng 4-0 witi. OvenOL our hockey playing was superb, merely caught off guard by heat, fatigue, strange potholes and funny humps.

In our free time the team spent many tiring hours perfecting tans (excluding a certain Ms. McVie) and socializing, at the expense of Mr. Hunt's blood pressure!

Mr&Mrs. Jackson 's Barnacle Bulldogs were a force to bt reckoned with this year. First things first, we did whoop oi Bolton in basketball, for all of you who thought it was i rumour, it wasn 't. The blend of people this year was a strong one - with such superbulldogs as Kevin and Sunhyung'. genius (wow), Tom Taylor's Skateboarding extravaganct (watch out for landings!), and Hafeez taking care of tin ladies, who wouldn't agree. The ruffians this year can b( summed up in a single name, Manville, a one man gang totally devoted to creating unrest and playful disturbance ' but I must say he added a great amount of excitement to thi house. Late night activities were put somewhat to an end dm to the great affection of our houseparentsfor the video cameras, yet maybe one or two or thirty slipped away unnoticed, or maybi they thought they got away, all I can say is paper and tape, paper and tape!! Once again this year we let Winslow thmk, key worH THINK they were in charge, but we know who really rules the BARAVIN scene! As head of house I couldn 't have been a part c a better group of prefects, Sam, Tim, Brian, Stephen, Jinwoo(Asst. Head), Jim, Agung the third, and assisted by Jeff were all to, form The hard work that the prefects put in to the house can only be known by those who have done it. Helping the younger boys house duties, and contributing in everyway possible is all part of the prefects 'job, and with some ups and downs they did a grea job and more than once covered for me while I was away. Barnacle nights out were spent at the Max, ice cream parlour, thi Keg laser tag, Japanese Village, and other venues. The main men of the house big man SHA YE, rock star FRANKLIN, and twinkl toes ISON were indisputably the best houseparents ever, keeping us out of trouble and helping us to achieve everything we coulc I speak for everyone when we give them a huge thank you. Well, as this year of the bulldog closes, it won't be without grea memories - huge feasts, and happy smiles, and the friendships made should last for a long time. Thanks to our Houseparenti Mr&Mrs. Jackson who have completed another successful year in Barnacle, thanks for your guidance, good humour, and food

We began this year looking to continue our dominance ofth^ house competitions, but a limited schedule has left it i doubt to this point. The beginning of the year prove challenging due to the lack of prefects and Trevor Char arriving several days late, leaving the ship to be run by Callendar and the four other prefects. The early addition oj Adam "BEAR " Miron, contributed to the spirituality and . video collection of the house. Bear was an excellent replace-

# W ^ Up C 4^ I mentfor Brian "Dexter" Kuhn despite his many traumatic

experiences in the infirmary. The house also welcomed many new faces including a bumper crop of immigrants from the Mexican border and unnaturally tall basketball players. Despite defying sleep and spending most of his time with "Homo, " Boone managed to fit in time to "work out" with "Speedo " and run the school newspaper. The house also received another member from the beaver family. Henry "I don 't know " Cheung united with his older and wiser brother Alex to terrorize third floor. After the heart-breaking split between Mike Hu and Whitey. Miles took over as Mike 's new roommate leaving the room vacant on frequent visits to Queen 's University. Meanwhile. "Whitey " teamed up with fellow basketball player Chris Ufford. Certain members of the house migrated over to Tinimis House, occasionally returning for a friendly visit. The house was also well represented by Saudis of first floor. Winfield "Limpie" Lau, a fellow first floor bud unfortunately cracked his cranium during an extreme snowboarding excursion, but thankfully has recovered fully. Mr. Common proved to be more than up to the task of assistant House Parent with his late night espionage and musical ensembles. Many Congrats to Mr. Bat man on his new role as the school 's art teacher. Mr..... ham, your Starbuck runs are very appreciated and be prepared forfuture tests of house member's names. A final thankyou to the Cameron 's for being outstanding house parents throughout all ten years that a Callendar has been in the house. The house is much indebted to you for your warmth and patience. Best of luck to all future Bolton Buds. -Trevor Chan & Jamie Callendar, Heads of Bolton House

Harvey House had another outstanding year. Without the seemingly parental guidance provided by the Cooks and Mi Walsh we would of had no foundation from which to grow We welcomed the year with seven prefects: Akinori, Peter, Kyung-Min, Steve, Hansi, Martin and myself. For the othei 32 boys living in Harvey House cleanliness was obvious!) an option which many cared not to partake in. I believe the boys cleaned their rooms a collective 8 times over the course of the year, myself included. House games was (to a fen students) sometimes referred to as "nap-time ", but a strong effort was put forth at house games where we consistently played well. However, this so called "nap-time " was generally the only sleep harvey boys had, since our main nocturnal pastimt was prowling the halls and ordering pizza at 2AM in the morning. Ready tofdl the departing grade 12 's shoes, the grade Us are working on their leadership skills and I think it 's safe to say that I leave the house in good hands to the elite few who can become harvey house prefects. Spirit is something that thrives in Harvey House because we are all like one big happy family. We were sad to see the departure ofgrade.8 advisor Steven MacDonald, who left mid-way through the year, only for a James Tesarro to assume the position. Thanks to the house parents Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. Walsh, Andrew Field and Elliot Anderson for a wonderful year. -Ivan Golian, Head of Harvey House

Welcome to Syinoiis house radio news, live from Symons foyer. We are your hosts, Alex and Yori assisted by all the Symons prefects. Overall, the year went by well with a minimum amount of gatings, Friday night preps and work parties. This is especially impressive considering the flex- ible interpretations of curfew and lights-out that prevailed for most of the year. As for the sports highlights of the year: housegames began with a marvellous victory and culmi- nated in a tug of war triumph. However, we will not mention what happened between these two events. For a change, Symons was actually acknowledged as a somewhat sporty house. Evidence leading to this would be the frequent spotting of shoes and shin guards left to air out, either in the halls or hanging out of windows. Academically speaking, our girls did surprisingly well. Considering that during prep many of them where caught with a phone-shaped tumour attached to their heads or were at least chatting on msn or icq. Despite this, the house did well academically with an average IQ of at least two times that of Harvey house. For Entertainment news, relationships and boys were a big part for most of the Symons girls this year. The house did well romantically, despite the Harvey boys ne.xt door (except for Minjung and Richard, Yuko and Kyung Min, and Fellenz who developed a following of grade 10 's). Warning: stay off the couches. One event that provided laughter for many people was the incessant roaring that went on between Miranda and Clarissa throughout the year. Now onwards with news in Health: Everybody knows that you gain weight when you enter boarding life. The cause of this is evidently BH or the weekly baked goods provided by Mrs. Forbes. Or was it the prefects who organised the different food nights, including Thai snacks, Nacho night, and bake night. Our weekly squeaky cleans soon turned into biweekly, even monthly squeaky cleans. Throughout the year, new species of bacteria were found dwelling somewhere in Clare House r 's room. To top it off, we would like to thank all the House Parents, Mrs. Forbes, Mrs. Farrish, Mrs. Ford, and Ms. Parker, for making this year successful and enjoyable. The prefects of the house, Chelsea, Chantal, Keldi, and Yuko, greatly added to this success. Symons girls, you are all great! Wait a minute: News, just in... there seems to be two, no wait, three brand new species of bacteria dwelling somewhere amongst Clare Hauser's room. We tried to record everything that happened, but could not keep track of all the occurrences. -Alex Lea and Yori Hagi, Heads of Symons House

Taboo

You have to pay price to live in the best house on campus. Walking to and from classes everyday to the far off home in the back corner isn 't easy, but there is no complaining; I mean we do, and will continue to DOMINATE house games. The view out of our big windows is incredible, and we 're not talking the sunset we 're talking the box seats we have to the guys rugby fields. ..Speaking of guys, I'm sure if you asked cmy Timmis girl they would have countless "wondeiful" things to say about the Bolten Buds next door. HMC, more formerly known as Mr. Ed. has managed to find his way up stairs to visit Ms. Shergold on numerous occasions, Speedo, should we even count the casual walk-ins during the wee hours of the morning. And not to mention having wet T-shirt contests with water balloons 24-7. That pretty much sums up the great memories we will always cherish of the Buds. Thcmksfor the good times boys, don't forget what comes around goes around: }.. . What ever happened to the penguin anyway? However, having Bolton next door did have its up sides. The Camerons ' always treated us as their own providing the goodies and making sure we were up to speed with our languages. Not to say we weren 't provided with treats from our own house parents. The delicious Wednesday nights, Timmis house parents spend all day cooking up a storm just for our luxury of spending family time together. Our favorite chef Wendy was a newcomer to our house this year, as was the cheerful spirits of Jasmin; both newbies defmitely filled the shoes of our long lost Ms.Hannan and Ms. Walinga. Joining the crew with the returning of J ana and Ms. Hyde -Lay, all 4 together made the perfect team. Thanks, you made a difference. Now to the girls. Considering the chat queen and the English exchange student did have the highest priced seats in the house, they didn 't seem to pay much attention to the hotties down below because the ball was already rolling in Grace 's love life and Candace was just too preoccupied in her overwhelming studies. On the second floor you willfmd Clarence with her nose in the books and then there is Katherine, who didn 7 seem to mind the Bolten Boys all that much. Finally in the front, there is the stress free Kathie always smiling while Angel, on the other hand, loves observing her roomie watch movies while she spends quality time with Hebden. Being co-heads in Timmis this year left us with amazing memories we will always cherish. Thanks for the fun time girls and good luck next year.

Winslow House has survived yet another year filled with | crazy girls and wonderful memories. On behalf of the whole house, we would like to thank the Tweedies, Nicole, Becky, and Alice for their endless support and putting up with our countless shenanigans. We enjoyed many house activities during the year and will always remember the Christmas dinner at the Empress, go-karting, the pottery and craft evenings, the final pool party and dinner at Milestones. We also welcomed the new gr. 8 's this year with the help ofTara- Lynn. Mr. and Mrs. Tweedie, we'll always remember Santa ' Claus,(We 've never been more scared), the 20 extra pounds put on due to your delicious dessert nights and charades (we 'II pronounce it your way!}. Nicole, your energy has made our house lively and exciting. Becky you 're crazy just like us; we 'II always love you! Alice, congratulations! You survived your first year with Winslow, and we SWEAR we did not mean to leave you at the bowling ally; we blame it on Barnacle. Ann and Lavinia, what will you do next year without each other? Chaka will miss you guys! Cait and Cleare, too bad there 's no room for that telephone booth. Aly and Gretta, raise the roof Dalyce, Robin, Zoe, Corryn, and Clare, (hardcore athletes!) your rowdy wrestling was always entertaining. Don 't be deceived by the Somlai beauties, they are trouble! Pui, our closets have space if you need it. Kendall and Becky, what a dynamic duo! House games would be lost without Gene, and so would the mail. Adrianne the masseuse, you should get paid by the hour. Celia, so glad you came. Susanna, thanks for always being there during those chocolate emergencies. I (Grace) will remember being mocked for months about my horrific face expression in the newspaper rowing photo, and being sabotaged by the Barnacle hoodlums with shaving cream in the middle of the night. (Don 't think the fight 's over yet boys. ) I (Jennie) will remember my hair catching on fire at the Empress Hotel - that was pretty embarrassing! Thanks to Alice Liu for the fire alarm. From us, and the rest of the prefects; you girls rock! Good luck and take care of the house next year. WINSLOW FOREVER.

Mrs. Humphries' long and distinguished career

at SMUS has been marked by her participation

in the direction of many school musicals, her

dedicated instruction of choir class after choir

class, and her tireless encouragement of her

students to reach their full potential. The school

and its population have benefitted tremendously

from her musical prowess and unwavering

dedication, and she will be sorely missed as she

tours Europe over the next year. Many thanks

for the wonderful experiences and all the best in

retirement!

Barbara Leonard, originally from the Midlands of England, came to SMUS in 1982 after working for several years in an insane asylum and as a nurse in the British Armed Forces stationed in Hong Kong. Hired as a temporary part-time replacement for the head nurse, who was leaving the schooL Mrs. Leonard's "temporary" assignment soon turned into a full-time indefinite tour of duty, often involving 24-hour-long shifts. In addition to her nursing duties, she w as the houseparent of the now-defunct Har\ ey House for several yeais, and acted as a counsellor, friend, and "granny figure" for the young students under her supervision. Seeing the children in her care grow up and become \oung adults has been one of the most satisfying aspects of her career, and although she has recently scaled back her contribution to part-time weekend work rather than full-time, she will thoroughly miss the school, its students, and its faculty. Her retirement this year, after 20 years of faithful service to the school, coincides with the graduation of her grand- daughter. Chantal.
