THE  SENIOR  SCHOOL

Headmaster's  Word 


Last  year  was  frenetic  enough;  this  year  has  been  sim- 
ply pyrotechnic  with  achievement,  an  important  condition 
in  any  good  school  and  not  merely  for  kudos  gained  in 
disseminating  results.  It  is  simply  that  with  a  myriad  of 
activities  comes  the  chance  for  many  students  to  excel  at 
some  event,  an  even  more  important  condition  in  a  school 
firm  in  the  belief  that  its  true  quality  lies  in  the  people 
who  make  up  the  school. 

S.M.  U.  is  fortunate:  it  has  outstanding,  caring  students 
and  superb  teachers.  These  two  groups  feed  off  each  other: 
the  younger  by  absorbing  the  art  and  effectiveness  of  the 
teaching;  the  older  by  appreciating  the  reception,  creativ- 
ity and  energy  of  the  learning.  While  this  respect  abounds, 
S.M.  U.  will  continue  to  attract  good  students  and  teach- 
ers who  in  turn,  will  make  S.M.  U.  buzz  with  activity  and 
achievement.  This  is  a  spiral  to  be  encouraged. 

In  this  ambiance  pace  is  all  important.  What  continues 
to  be  the  fabric  of  S.M.  U.  's  existence  is  the  student  who 
plays  the  cello  angelically  in  one  of  our  quartets,  followed 
by  a  session  as  a  prop  for  the  1st  XV  between  debating 
in  the  Provincial  Championships  just  before  preparing  for 
examinations.  In  a  co-ed  school  the  fabric  could  as  easily 
be  represented  by  the  student  who  competes  in  the  gruelling  'hill  climb'  just  after  appearing  as  a  ballerina 
in  the  school  musical  between  winning  the  latest  essay  competition  just  prior  to  preparing  for  Advanced 
Placement  science  exams.  The  permutations  are  numerous  thankfully,  and  seem  to  reflect  what  univer- 
sities are  seeking  in  their  prospective  scholarship  candidates:  vigor  in  academics  and  extra-curricular  activities. 
That  is  not  to  say  the  "bookworm"  is  a  forgotten  and  unvalued  entity  in  our  society;  if  anything,  the 
student  is  studying  even  harder  these  days,  ostensibly  because  the  scholar  cannot  be  one-dimensional.  Time 
has  to  be  managed  appropriately  to  allow  student  involvement  in  a  number  of  activities  without  disturbing 
the  rhythm  and  creativity  of  academic  learning.  From  this  demand  often  comes  the  criticism  that  S.M.U. 
attempts  too  much.  We  have  to  operate  this  way.  S.M.  U.  is  a  spawning  ground  for  adult  life.  In  this  early 
training  the  critical  mind  must  be  developed  to  ask  the  right  questions  later;  the  body  must  be  prepared 
physically  for  the  rigour  of  future  demands;  the  person  must  accept  readily  the  value  of  teamwork  and 
cooperation;  and,  the  citizen  of  tomorrow  must  possess  that  selflessness,  integrity  and  loyalty  to  be  able 
to  contribute  to  the  good  of  mankind. 

Imagine  the  activities  young  adults  must  sample  to  be  prepared  for  a  world  demanding  these  qualities? 
This  is  the  point  at  which  the  competitive  edge  of  those  mathematics,  debating,  physics  and  essay  com- 
petitions make  an  impact;  where  the  camaraderie  and  achievement  of  team  play  in  rugby,  fleld  hockey, 
cross  country  running,  soccer,  track  &  fleld  and  basketball  really  count;  where  the  sense  of  community 
participation  in  Multiple  Sclerosis  fund-raising  becomes  important;  and,  the  collegiality  of  playing  in  an 
orchestra,  band  or  a  thespian  role  builds  cooperation  and  tolerance. 

Luckily,  there  seems  to  be  no  shortage  of  volunteers  for  this  way  of  life  at  S.M.U.  Each  year  brings 
forth  its  student  leaders  who  set  the  pace,  and,  each  year  yields  its  special  list  of  achievements.  All  those 
who  contributed  over  the  last  12  months  I  thank  sincerely  and  implore  Grade  12  students  who  are  leaving 
us  to  continue  to  practise  the  degree  of  commitment  they  have  shown  as  valuable  members  of  the  S.M.  U. 
family. 


David  R.  Penaluna,  B.A.,  M.Ed.

Board  of  Governors 


This  yearbook  marks  another  highly  successful  school 
year  for  SMU.  The  large  number  of  awards,  competitive 
achievements  and  recognitions  which  the  students  of  the 
school  have  won  rival  that  of  past  years.  Indeed,  it's  be- 
coming routine  that  each  new  school  year  at  SMU  is  con- 
sidered an  outstanding  one.  And  that  is  as  it  should  be. 

But  the  success  of  the  school  can 't  be  measured  only 
in  terms  of  prizes  and  competitions.  The  school  is  working 
well  when  all  its  parts,  students,  staff,  parents  and  alumni, 
come  together  to  create  a  climate  which  allows  the  stu- 
dents, as  individuals,  to  learn  and  grow,  to  be  positively 
challenged  and  to  accept  responsibility. 

And  while  I  have  no  doubt  that  we  have  such  a  climate 
at  SMU,  the  only  real  measurement  of  the  school's  suc- 
cess is  after  you  graduate  and  look  back  at  the  school. 
Were  you  happy  at  the  school?  Did  you  learn  ?  Were  you 
properly  prepared  for  whatever  faced  you  after  you  left 
the  school? 

It's  my  strong  belief  that  when  you  read  these  remarks 
years  after  this  yearbook  is  published  and  answer  these 
questions,  you'll  agree  that  the  climate  was  right  and,  in- 
deed, that  the  school  gave  you  an  excellent  education. 

My  only  request  is  that  you  not  forget  this  school.  As 
an  alumnus,  keep  an  eye  on  it.  Be  satified  that  the  cli- 
mate continues  to  be  right  so  that  others  can  benefit  as 
you  have. 

It's  a  privilege  for  me,  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Gov- 
ernors of  the  school,  to  congratulate  all  students  and  staff 
on  another  outstanding  year.

Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  Members  of  Staff,  Honoured 
Guests,  and  Fellow  Students,  it  seems  like  only  yesterday 
when  50  of  us  Graduates  were  graduating  from  the  Junior 
School.  We've  been  fortunate  enough  to  have  Mr.  Pen- 
aluna  as  Headmaster  whom  we  got  to  know  very  well 
through  such  intimate  events  as  his  Friday  afternoon  de- 
tention streets:  Penners  Picnicks.  Grade  8  brought  many 
new  developments,  when  about  100  members  of  the  Grad 
class  started  at  the  Senior  School.  There,  we  have  had 
the  privilege  to  experience  the  wonderful  Headmastership 
of  both  Mr.  Penaluna  and  Mr.  Schaffter;  we  are  the  last 
class  to  fondly  remember  the  late  Reverend  Davies,  we 
have  seen  the  New  House,  Wenman  Pavillion  and  Chris- 
tine Duke  Theatre  appear,  and  the  sundial  disappear,  and 
if  the  shock  of  the  establishment  of  a  third  campus  was 
not  enough,  it  is  the  prospect  that  on  an  alumni  day  some 
time  in  the  future,  when  we  pursue  the  old  school  tie,  and 
received  our  degrees  from  U.  Vic,  or  if  the  present  trend 
continues:  SMU.  Vic,  and  elsewhere,  we  may  not  be  vis- 
iting the  old  campus,  but  an  even  grander  S.M.  U.  possibly 
situated  somewhere  in  Central  Saanich,  with  an  extensive 
campus,  and  perhaps  even  a  Fine  Arts  Centre.  S.M.U. 
will  stand  not  for  Saint  Michaels  University,  but  for  School 
Moving  Up-Island.  In  retrospect  we  now  realize  Mr.  Piete's 
hidden  purpose  of  his  Outdoor  trips  each  year.  After  being  inflicted  with  outrageous  rashes  from  poison 
ivy,  lack  of  sleep  and  hygiene,  and  strange  gastronomical  upsets,  we  realize  that  this  clever  psychological 
repellent  therapy,  was  to  make  the  boarders  appreciate  the  exotic  diets  of  Brown  Hall.  Our  education  at 
S.M.U.  has  been  a  rich  tapestry  woven  in  many  pieces  over  many  years,  many  of  the  brightest  threads 
of  achievements  have  been  such  accomplishments  as  Island  Championships  in  Senior  Girl's  Grass  Hockey, 
and  Senior  Track  and  Field,  Provincial  Silver  medals  in  Senior  Boy's  Cross  Country  and  Senior  Hockey. 
This  May,  a  Math  Mobile,  that  is  a  van  containing  five  Euclid  Contest  Winners,  was  navigated  by  Mr. 
Smith  into  U.B.C.  to  learn  that  they  were  first  in  B.C.  and  second  in  Canada.  Essayists  have  won  the 
Commonwealth  Competition,  placing  us  first  in  B.C.  and  have  also  excelled  in  the  U.B.C.  essay  com- 
petition. Our  Rugby  Warriors  successfully  completed  their  tour  of  the  British  Isles,  surviving  a  train  hi- 
jacking in  Ireland,  and  a  Poll  Tax  Riot  in  London,  such  things  memories  are  made  of.  S.M.U.  brought 
colour  and  glamour  to  Victoria  with  their  production  of  Kiss  Me  Kate.  Prefects  continued  the  tradition 
of  pioneering  hip  new  uniforms,  and  opted  for  the  white  braid  '  'Mexican  Tuxedo ' '  look.  The  '  'Brian  Bunch ' ' 
looked  as  if  they  had  turned  into  a  Moriarchi  Band.  On  theme  day  this  year  the  Grads  tried  to  shed  some 
light  on  the  concept  of  looking  Cheezy  with  their  "Cheeze  Day":  we  did  this  mostly  by  dressing  in  bad 
taste.  Robert  Louis  Stevenson  said  that  "to  become  what  we  are  capable  of  becoming  is  the  only  end  in 
life".  That  is  only  true  if  two  factors  exist.  For  the  first  factor,  one  must  be  fortunate  enough  to  have 
the  calibre  of  teachers  which  are  present  at  S.M.  U..  They  have  gone  out  of  their  way  to  instruct  us  with 
patience  and  humour  and  inspire  us  with  assignments.  Roughly  translated  that  means  we  have  hundreds 
of  essays  to  write,  many  Chem  back-titrations  to  attempt,  and  zillions  of  obscure  French  Conjugations 
to  memorize.  It  has  been  quite  a  productive  year  for  the  Staff,  apart  from  educating  and  coaching  us, 
they  have  established  their  own  Baby  Assembly  Line.  Three  babies  came  from  the  Science  Lab,  and  one 
from  the  English  Department.  SMU  believes  in  keeping  it  in  the  family  and  these  babies  will  be  our  future 
teachers.  I  would  now  like  to  pay  homage  to  the  second  factor  which  is  responsible  for  all  our  success 
and  on  behalf  of  the  Graduating  Class  give  thanks  to  all  of  our  families  and  Special  Friends  whose  love, 
self-sacrifice  and  never  ending  support  have  made  all  these  steps  towards  achieving  our  destiny  possible. 
It  is  very  important  that  we  do  become  what  we  are  capable  of  becoming  so  that  we  can  contribute  to 
society  and  to  the  quality  of  life.  Our  Grad  Class  has  the  capability  to  fulfill  that  end.  I  would  like  to 
take  the  opportunity  to  offer  the  best  of  luck  to  all  the  Graduates.  And  now  Ladies  and  Gentlemen  I  present 
to  you  the  Graduating  Class  of  1990,  Thank-you  very  much.

MR.  PENALUNA,  HONOURED  GUESTS,  MEM- 
BERS OF  STAFF,  PARENTS  AND  FELLOW  STU- 
DENTS, 

IT  SEEMS  HARD  TO  BELIEVE  THAT  OUR  FINAL 
YEAR  HAS  ALMOST  PASSED  AND  WE  ARE  GRAD- 
UATING. WE  HAVE  ONE  SHORT  BUT  CRITICAL 
WEEK  OF  ST.  MICHAEL  S  LEFT  TO  US  BEFORE  WE 
HEAD  OFF  IN  OUR  DIFFERENT  DIRECTIONS. 
MOST  OF  US  ARE  PROBABLY  WONDERING 
WHERE  THE  TIME  HAS  GONE.  IT  SEEMS  LIKE 
ONLY  YESTERDAY  THAT  WE  GRADUATED  TO  THE 
SENIOR  CAMPUS  AND  STOOD  IN  AWE  OF  THE 
GRADUATING  CLASS  OF  '86. 

THIS  YEAR  WE  HAVE  HAD  ONE  OF  THE  LARG- 
EST GRADUATING  CLASSES  IN  THE  SCHOOL'S 
HISTORY.  WHILE  THIS  HAS  SIGNIFICANT  IMPLI- 
CATIONS FOR  THE  COFFERS  OF  ST.  MICHAEL'S, 
IT  HAS  PRESENTED  SEVERAL  CHALLENGES; 
SUCH  AS  TR  YING  TO  FIND  A  HOME  BIG  ENOUGH 
AND  A  FAMILY  BRAVE  ENOUGH  TO  HOST  THE 
TRADITIONAL  "AFTER  GRAD.",  AND  ATTEMPT- 
ING TO  REPRESENT  THE  COLLECTIVE 
THOUGHTS  AND  ACCOMPLISHMENTS  OF  SUCH  A  LARGE  AND  HETEROGENEOUS  GROUP. 

IT  WOULD  BE  SAFE  TO  SAY  THAT  WE  ARE  UNANIMOUS  IN  OUR  APPRECIATION  OF  THE 
HEADMASTER  AND  THE  STAFF  FOR  THEIR  SUPPORT,  THEIR  UNTIRING  ENTHUSIASM  AND 
THEIR  DEDICATION.  OFTEN  BERATED  FOR  EXCESSIVE  HOMEWORK  OR  UNRELENTING 
TESTS,  THE  STAFF  HAVE  PERSEVERED  -  ESPECIALLY  MR.  FAULKNER,  WHO  DESPITE  CON- 
STANT HURDLES,  CONTINUES  IN  HIS  DIFFICULT  QUEST  FOR  UNIFORMITY.  ALSO,  ONE  CAN 
ONLY  SPECULATE  ABOUT  THE  CORRELATION,  IF  ANY,  BETWEEN  THIS  GRADUATING  CLASS 
AND  THE  CURRENT  BABY  BOOM  AMONG  STAFF! 

THE  GRADUATES  OF  1990  HAVE,  LIKE  PAST  GRADS,  PARTICIPATED  AND  SUCCEEDED 
IN  A  WIDE  VARIETY  OF  ENDEAVOURS  -  SUCH  AS  ATHLETICS,  MUSIC,  ART,  DEBATING, 
MATH  CONTESTS  -  THE  LIST  IS  ENDLESS.  ON  THE  SPORTING  FRONT  SMU  EXPANDED  INTO 
SEVERAL  NEW  AREAS  INCLUDING  STREET  HOCKEY.  UNDER  THE  DYNAMIC  DIRECTION 
OF  OUR  OWN  MR.  LAIDLAW,  A  RIVETING  SCHOOL  TOURNAMENT  TOOK  PLACE  IN  WHICH 
THE  INFAMOUS  "LEGION  OF  DOOM"  EMERGED  VICTORIOUS.  AND  ONCE  AGAIN  THE  AN- 
NUAL STAFF-STUDENT  ICE  HOCKEY  PLAY-OFFS,  THE  "MANLEY  CUP,"  SAW  THE  STAFF 
SUFFER  AT  THE  HANDS  OF  THE  STUDENTS. 

OUR  CLASS,  WITH  ITS  UNIQUE  COMBINATION  OF  INDIVIDUALS  AND  ACCOMPLISHMENTS 
CAN  STAND  PROUDLY  KNOWING  THAT  WE  RALLIED  TOGETHER  IN  A  WAY  SOME  THOUGHT 
ALMOST  IMPOSSIBLE.  MANY  OF  US  NOW  HAVE  A  FAIR  IDEA  OF  WHERE  WE  ARE  GOING 
AND  WHAT  NEEDS  TO  BE  DONE  TO  GET  THERE.  THANKS  TO  MR.  FEATHERSTONE,  ALONG 
THE  WA  Y,  WE  MAY  EVEN  WIN  MANY  GLITTERING  PRIZES  A  T  FUTURE  COCKTAIL  PAR  TIES. 

ON  BEHALF  OF  THE  GRADUATING  CLASS  I  SAY  "THANK  YOU"  TO  THE  SCHOOL  AND  TO 
MY  FELLOW  GRADUATES  AND  FRIENDS,  "GOOD  LUCK".

Yearbook  Staff 


This  year  the  yearbook  staff  got  off  to  afresh  new  start.  We  moved  from  the  dark  corners  of  the  top  of  schoolhouse, 
and  progressed  to  new  and  better  places:  we  occupied  half  of  a  classroom,  well,  actually  it  was  a  portable,  but,  in 
any  case,  we  had  more  room.  It  was  here  that  we  met  every  Monday  and  Thursday  after  school  with  a  regular  crew 
of  Senior  School  Students. 

It  would  not  be  right  to  progress  any  further  without  recognizing  this  group.  Firstly,  Laura  Bradbury  assumed  the 
never  enviable  task  of  heading  the  photography  section.  She  was  assisted  by  many  members  of  the  school  population, 
in  particular:  Scott  Marks.  Andrew  Khoo  and  Helen  Truran.  They  did  an  admirable  job  representing  all  the  grades 
in  their  film.  Andrea  Sharpe  and  Renee  Dugan  were  the  Boarding  Houses  coordinators  and  made  sure  that  the  Houses 
were  shown  to  be  an  active  part  of  school  life.  Other  students  who  never  failed  to  work  industriously  at  our  meetings 
were:  Vanson  Field  Gr.  12,  Sandy  Yew  Gr.  10  and  Noelle  Davis  Gr.  9.  Finally,  but,  by  no  means  least,  our  deepest 
gratitude  is  due  to  three  girls  from  Grade  11  who  have  worked  indefatigably.  These  are:  Kate  Jacobs,  Jennifer  Mor- 
timer and  J  obi  Norman.  Without  their  support  the  yearbook  would  never  have  been  as  successful. 

Many  thanks  also  go  to  Mr.  Hyde-Lay  for  his  wonderful  powers  of  organization  in  the  area  of  assembling  sports 
teams  for  pictures  and  teachers  for  write-ups.  Also,  Mr.  A.  Jones  must  be  thanked  for  putting  together  the  artwork 
pictures  and  Mr.  MacKay  for  his  efforts  in  the  music  section.  The  Middle  School,  once  again,  did  an  incredible  job 
in  producing  their  section  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Richards.  The  Junior  School,  with  the  help  of  J  obi  Norman, 
also  must  be  thanked  for  their  work.  They  were  organized  by  Mrs.  Campbell,  who  has  promised  to  continue  in  this 
position. 

Few  people  really  realize  the  difficulties  involved  in  putting  together  a  yearbook.  One  person,  however,  who  does 
is  our  yearbook  coordinator  Mr.  Smith.  He  was  the  one  who  made  all  the  phonecalls  to  the  publishers,  he  was  the 
one  who  badgered  teachers  for  write-ups  and  he  was  the  one  who  collected  everything  together  at  the  end.  Thank 
you  ever  so  much.  Thanks  go  to  everyone  who  helped  us  in  every  aspect  and  for  making  this  year  'printable'.

Sean  Affleck 


Sean  Arnold  James  Affleck,  also  known  as  "Shamu"  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  six.  Origmaliy  from  Saudi  Arabia 
(Freckles?),  he  now  hails  from  Connecticut,  one  of  the  few  East  Coast  boarders  at  the  school.  Sean  surprised 
us  all  when  he  and  MB.  passed  Grade  10  and  in  doing  so.  set  a  new  record  for  laps  of  the  pitch.  Sunny  days 
would  find  Shamu  enjoying  a  picnic  and  sipping  on  some  fresh  orange  juice.  As  well  as  showing  his  musical  talents 
at  dances  and  on  stage  Sean  showed  his  athletic  talents  on  the  Grad  Ski  Trip.  His  grace  and  elegance  cannot  be 
put  into  words  (moose  on  skis!?).  Shamu  also  tripped  out  on  the  Grade  1 1  Mexico  adventure.  The  journey  saw 
him  expand  his  massive  Spanish  vocabulary  with  such  words  as  "mopez"  and  "mas"  along  with  a  quote  of  his 
own  (  +  K.M.+S-E.)  "unos,  dos.  tres,"  Our  smilmg  friend  plans  to  go  to  U. B.C.  in  the  fall  and  on  the  completion 
of  his  degree  he  has  two  career  plans;  either  open  a  bar  or  start  up  the  long  awaited  Cuervo  Treatment  Centre. 
Good  luck.  Shamu  and  no  maner  what  Grad  honour  you're  voted  into  we  still  love  ya.  you  ogre.  See  you  in  Mexico. 


Rosemarie  Alkoff 


After  two  years  at  S.M.U..  Rose.  (Gypsy),  a.k.a.  Pink  or  Poser,  breezed  into  Grade  12  only  to  find  this  was 
lough  stuff!  Of  course  the  two  a.m.  nights  with  M.S.  didn't  help  the  study  habits!  What  did  you  guys  talk  about 
anyway?  Sanity  was  a  fragile  thing  and  was  seldom  part  of  her  vocabulary.  It  was  sustained  only  by  the  states 
of  depression  and  rare  "up"  moments,  the  frequent  "I  want  a  baby"  phases  and  last  but  certainly  not  least,  the 
well  known  "Don't  talk  to  me  before  noon"  grouch  moods.  Of  course,  her  over  bubbly  roommate,  Jeanie  ("Lola. 
L-G-L-A,  Lola")  contributed  to  picking  up  the  pieces  along  with  EC,  N.D.  and  the  rest  of  the  boarding  gang. 
Although  she  may  have  began  her  life  as  a  rather  meek  Grade  10  poser  turned  into  the  mean.  New  House  house- 
keeper, whose  favorite  thing  to  do  on  a  Wednesday  night  was  to  slap  on  those  half  hours  to  anyone  with  an  unmade 
bed. 


Homa  Amin 


Homa,  a  resident  New  Yorker,  graced  us  with  her  presence  in  Grade  1 1  finding  out  that  Victoria  isn't  such  a 
bad  place  after  all.  Homa  brought  as  much  excitement  to  our  lives  as  anyone  could  ask  for.  Between  trips  down- 
town, late  nights  in  New  House,  and  "Oh  my  God"  trips  to  Muffin  Break.  Homa  will  leave  behind  many  good 
memories,  attempting  Calculus,  2:30  a.m.  jaunts  to  A&W.  driving  a  taxi;  these  were  all  things  we  don't  do.  Games 
were  not  Homa's  favorite  though  she  is  an  avid  ski  racer.  Homa  managed  to  get  some  good  grades,  and  plans 
to  lake  business  next  year.  We  all  hope  that  your  two  years  al  S.M.U.  have  been  happy  ones  -  we'll  miss  your 
cheerful  smile. 
Best  of  luck  for  the  future,  we  won't  worry  about  you.  the  La  Boheme  will  miss  you. 


Sasha  Angus 


In  Grade  11  he  was  new, 

And  he  lived  with  Body  and  Bu. 

He  had  a  big  bash,  and  spent  his  dad's  cash 

Then  didn't  know  what  to  do. 

In  Grade  12  he  joined  the  select 

By  becoming  a  New  House  Prefect. 

He  was  straight  with  the  woman,  and  always  a  bossman. 

And  definitely  left  his  effect. 

The  Captain  of  the  team  he  was  picked. 

Cause  of  his  sweet  tennis  tricks. 

A  great  academic,  and  military  medic. 

Will  progress  to  the  great  U  of  Vic. 

(.  .  .  if  he  gets  in)

Ian  Archibald 


A  member  of  the  O'Donals  coffee  club  with  PKT  and  JR  has  quite  a  record  of  academic  achievemenl  although 
(here  is  no  visible  effort  evident.  After  attaming  the  title  of  fifth  in  Canada  in  Math,  he  has  been  coasting  on  the 
self  reward  of  that  alone.  lan's  rugby  career  was  ended  abruptly  during  a  game  vs.  Brentwood  for  the  Colts  C 
Team  in  which  he  broke  his  collar  bone.  The  Green  Land-cruising  machine  will  be  sorely  missed  as  a  character 
builder  in  the  S.M.U.  parking  lot.  The  captain  of  the  Road  Kills  Hockey  Team  scored  many  goals  with  his  "collector's 
item"  stick.  Archie  did  help  JP  in  attempting  to  rid  si>ciety  of  the  music  of  PKT  yet  he  prefers  not  to  undergo 
the  physical  punishment  this  First  XV  prop  dishes  out.  lan's  pet  peeve  is  having  marathon  phone  sessions  with 
JP  and  PKT  explaining  and  re-explaining  Chem  assignments.  He  aspires  to  go  to  U.B.C.  to  join  his  sister,  and 
later  become  a  robotics  engineer. 


Anita  Barker 


Anita  is  a  boarder  from  Vancouver.  B.C.  She  has  panicipaled  in  cycling  and  given  assistance  in  drama  productions 
(backstage)  and  as  a  marshall  at  cross-countr>  races.  Anita  will  likely  spend  next  year  in  Europe  before  entering 
University  in  this  province  in  1991. 


Adrian  Behennah 


Adnan  has  spent  six  memorable  years  at  S.M.U  He  made  quite  the  impression  when  he  arrived  at  S.M.U.  in  gr,  7.  His  goofy 
banana  antics  teaming  him  the  name.  "Banana")  will  be  remembered.  He  quickl)  became  known  for  his  impressive  academic  abilities 
and  as  a  result  was  appointed  School  Captain  Scholar  m  gr.  12.  In  addition.  Adnan  excelled  at  athletics,  such  as  X-Country.  track 
and  rugby,  music,  his  Prefect  duties  in  grade  12.  and  just  about  everything  he  tried.  Needless  to  say.  however,  there  was  another 
side  to  Adnan.  BeneaOi  the  skin  of  the  mild-mannered  scholar  lurks  a  real  rebel  and  party  animal.  AB.  fell  easily  for  S.F.'s  practical 
jokes  in  Grade  9  and  10.  culminating  in  an  incident  with  a  lock  and  a  door  at  a  certain  female  changing  room  at  a  certain  Racquet 
Club  dance  (our  prize  prefect  and  School  Captain  were  sentenced  to  a  week's  kitchen  duty  and  community  service  for  this).  In  all 
honesty,  however.  Adnan  did  manage  lo  present  lat  least  on  the  surface)  a  civilized  appearance:  he  toasted  the  Queen  at  Common- 
wealth Society  dinners  with  CD.  and  philosophized  on  the  quantum  nature  of  naked  singulanlies  with  the  Math  Crew.  AB  (Doc 
Savage.  Spidey)  will  also  be  remembered  for  his  versatile  tastes  in  reading  matenal  which  have  included  Milton.  Douglas  Adams, 
Arthur  C  Clarke.  Shakespeare,  as  well  as  his  sleezy  magazines  and  lurid  Spiderman  comics,  Adnan.  in  fact,  was  so  fond  of  his 
comic-book  heros.  that  he  appeared  at  a  cross  country  race  dressed  in  a  superman  costume.  Known  for  his  tastes  in  the  bizarre  and 
the  unexpected,  the  School  Captain  can  be  seen  sipping  cups  of  coffee  or  tea  m  Brown  Hall,  philosophizing  about  aliens  or  the  New 
Age  with  a  few  friends  Adrian's  memones  will  include  bombing  around  town  and  doing  late  night  excursions  to  China  Town  with 
Deek  and  Company,  watching  Westoby  make  a  fool  out  of  himself  at  Don  Mee's.  patrolling  the  campus  with  AH.  S.F,.  CD., 
and  V  F  .  nuitv  French  .Ayatullah  skits  with  B.C.  and  the  "dog '.  and  taking  part  in  "espresso  talks'  at  the  Magic  Com  Next  Year. 
Adnan  plans  to  take  pre-med  at  either  U  B.C..  McGill  or  U.V.IC.  With  his  grades,  Adrian  should  have  no  problem  gening  his 
M  D   and  he  will  without  doubt,  fulfill  his  lifetime  ambition. 


Mike  Bendickson 


Micheal  Brian  Bendickson  made  the  trek  down  from  the  thriving  metropolis  of  Campbell  River  in  Grade  8.  Mike 
settled  in  and  worked  hard  in  the  true  style  of  newcomers  to  S.M.U.  -  then  it  happened.  Mike  became  roommates 
with  S.A.  and  they  haven't  looked  back  or  seen  straight  since.  Mike  has  had  more  than  his  fair  share  of  misad- 
ventures but  has  been  somewhat  in  line  by  the  threat  "One  more  time  and  you're  outta  here."  Unlike  his  roommate 
in  Grade  12  G,S.  who  called  the  bluff  and  now  enjoys  the  quiet  life  in  Revelstoke.  Sorry  man  it  was  a  close  call 
but  G.S.  had  to  get  the  category  "always  in  trouble."  Belter  luck  next  time.  Mike,  Affectionately  known  as  "Body" 
was  very  active,  and  besides  being  a  member  of  the  Second  XV.  he  enjoyed  working  out  with  weights  especially 
the  60  lb.  variety.  Mike  enjoyed  the  lucrative  occupation  of  knocking  down  defenceless  trees,  however,  this  part 
time  employment  did  not  satisfy  his  destructive  nature,  and  drywail  and  pre-fab  doors  became  his  next  victims. 
Body  somehow  misinterpreted  the  rules,  and  he  figured  if  the  Clarkes  could  have  a  car  on  campus,  so  could  he. 
Mike  soon  found  himself  enjoying  the  scenery  on  the  drive  up  island.  Mike  also  gave  up  his  services  to  the  school 
for  a  full  week  after  everyone  else  had  gone  home.  The  school  buses  have  never  been  so  clean.  What  a  guy.  Mike 
was  a  happy  member  of  the  Mexico  crew,  although  take-off  was  a  bit  hazy.  Watch  out  for  girls  in  hard  hats  at 
the  90's  rock  during  Hora  Feilze!  On  the  Grad  Ski  Trip  Mike  enjoyed  the  hot  tub  at  Zeppo's  and  oh  yeah  the 
skiing  was  pretty  good,  loo!  Next  year.  Body  hopes  lo  head  East  to  either  Western  or  Carlelon.  His  goal  -  To 
make  lots  of  money  and  retire  early!  The  best  of  luck  to  ya.  Mike!  Oi!

Martin  Bowers 


This  Hawaiian  surf  dude  first  attended  SMU  at  the  Junior  School,  and  has  since  made  valuable  contributions  as 

a  prefect  (both  in  Grade  7  and  Grade  12).  a  musician,  a  mathematician,  and  most  importantly,  a  road  hockey 
player  (all  without  exhibiting  a  shred  of  effort).  Despite  a  busy  schedule,  he  still  finds  time  to  drink  coffee  at 
O'Donals.  and  complain  about  the  girls  and  weather  in  Victoria  compared  to  those  of  Hawaii.  Martin  takes  great 
pleasure  in  disrupting  "Gary"  classes  by  talking  continuously  to  I. A.  about  fishing  trips  and  other  matters  of 
great  importance,  but  will  never  forgive  the  latter  for  scamming  so  many  extra  marks  in  Chemistry,  In  his  spare 
time,  Martin  scuba  dives  (just  can't  kill  enough  fish  with  a  rod  and  hook,  eh  Martin?)  and  practises  his  basketball 
hook  shot  (the  only  one  he  can  do).  Martin  will  go  on  to  do  well  at  whatever  it  is  he  wants  to  do  well  at,  and 
will  always  have  spare  money  to  lend  for  coffee. 


Laura  Bradbury 


"Whai  a  long,  sirange  trip  Us  been."  Laura  arrived  at  S  M.U  in  grade  seven  wiih  a  lot  of  dreamy  noiions  (there  are  only  going 
to  be  four  girls  in  our  grade?  How  cool')  It  turned  out  to  be  more  "trying"  than  "cool"  but  the  four  "pioneers"  were  finally  accepted 
after  thev  played  a  rugby  game  and  went  through  rugby  training  with  the  guys  After  that  legendary  rugby  game  (where  Laura  won 
the  guys'  respect  by  taking  off  G  L  "s  glasses  and  jumping  on  them)  the  rest  of  the  year  became  vivjdly  memorable  There  was 
dancing  in  the  showers,  songs  in  ihe  quad,  snowball  fights  in  the  back  field  (sorry  Timothia).  and  most  importantly,  the  senior  school 
dances  where  numerous  soap  operas  began  Grade  8  began  with  some  interest  in  a  grade  10  boy  but  eventually  J  J.  Goodwin  and 
junior  girls'  grasshockey  preoccupied  her  whole  existence  The  only  memories  of  grade  8  &  9  were  dances  and  grasshockey  (Laura's 
claim  to  athletic  C*)  fame  at  S  MV)  In  grade  10  Laura  decided  to  rebel  and  ditch  grasshockey  and  her  life  became  one  long  party 
What  a  blast!  She  teamed  up  with  J.J  and  R.C.  and  patiently  listened  to  their  personal  crisis'  involving  certain  gr  12  guys.  Who 
will  ever  forget  the  J.C.  cast  party "^  Remember  "guys,  it  was  funny  last  night,  but  it's  not  so  funny  anymore!"  Mt   Tolmie 

was  our  second  home,  and  was  immortalized  in  Dougie  Easdon's  much  worshipped  picture  Laura  continued  in  much  the  same  way 
in  gr,  1 1  but  in  gr.  12  something  remarkable  happened.  Laura  hctame  responsible  Granled  she  had  been  on  T  C  's  much-feared 
tennis  squad  for  three  years,  but  he  didn't  exactly,  leach  her  respunsibility  Laura  was  named  a  prefect,  elected  on  the  short-lived 
grad  comminee.  became  Head  of  Photography  for  the  Yearbook,  and  called  Herb  Erwin  a  lot  about  the  grad  supplement  The  only 
thing  she  was  not  too  diligent  about  was  attending  aerobics  but  well  nobody's  perfect.  She  also  was  a  little  bit.  shall  we  say 
careless?  at  Paul's  B-day  party  at  her  house  Everybody  knows  that  "what  I  am"  only  sounds  good  when  played  REALLY  LOUD 
on  dad's  brand  new  stereo.  How  were  we  supposed  to  know  it  blows  the  amplifier  at  12?  The  sparklers  well,  mom  never  needed 
that  place  mat  anyway  and  the  burnt  spot  on  the  carpet  is  under  a  chair  leg.  Responsible  people  don't  usually  sing  the  "Electric 
Company  "  song  with  J.J  and  J  M.  in  Grenfell's  English  class  but  we  all  need  to  let  loose  sometimes.  Laura  will  be  jening  off  to 
spend  a  year  in  France  next  year  on  a  Rotary  Exchange  and  then  hopes  to  go  to  McGill  to  find  herself,  actually  get  a  B.A,  with 
prerequisites  for  advertising  or  journalism.  She'll  always  live  by  her  favorite  quote,  "you  only  live  once,  you  might  as  well  get 
all  the  good  laughs  you  can!"  Adios  Amigos! 


Tim  Brierley 


Tim  first  came  to  SMU  in  Grade  5.  when  anybody  could  get  in.  Tim,  the  guy  of  names,  perhaps  "Gummy" 
being  most  famous.  Once  Tim  got  his  car.  the  mechanic  was  born,  and  a  year  later  Tim  wiped  the  grease  from 
his  face  and  looked  at  "the  car".  Although  Tim  has  a  "sweet"  (heh  Ian)  car,  he  can't  honestly  say  he  has  not 
been  on  probation  once  or  twice.  Tim's  plans  for  the  future  are  uncertain;  maybe  a  Canadian  Tire  mechanic  (just 
kidding).  U.V.I.C.  or  U.B.C.  is  in  sight,  or  else  he  will  just  go  fishing,  (Well.  Joe,  'Juan!). 


Colin  Brown 


Colin  firsl  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  8  and  is  probably  better  known  as  "Rookie".  This  name  began  to  surface 
after  Colin  seemed  to  encounter  certain  blunders  and  misfortunes  such  as  lighting  parts  of  Garibaldi  campsite  on 
fire  (including  Thor's  shoe).  He  was  quoted  as  "attempting  to  revive  the  fire  with  just  a  touch  of  kerosene", 
Colin's  most  prized  possession  is  without  a  doubt  his  Volkswagen  Bug,  Probably  more  correctly  referred  to  as 
an  insect  rather  than  a  real  car,  Colin  is  convinced  that  no  Ferrari  or  Porsche  is  faster.  This  is  probably  why 
Colin  wears  with  pride  the  notorious  "VW  Club"  patch  on  the  arm  of  his  Grad  jacket  One  quickly  points  out. 
however,  that  S.M,U.  does  not  have  a  VW  Club?!  Nevertheless.  Colin  hopes  to  graduate  this  year  and  attend 
U,V,1.C.  in  the  fall,  where  he  will  enter  Law  School,  after  completing  his  undergraduate  degree.  He  will  be  missed 
on  the  Squash  and  Cross  Country  teams,  but  hopes  to  carry  on  these  activities  at  university.

Nick  Bullock 


Nick  escaped  to  S.M.U.  from  Shawnigan  Lake  School  in  ihc  1 1th  Grade,  and  his  acquaintances  ranged  from  Mr. 
Kayal  lo  Greg  Coreman.  His  first  impressions  of  S.M.U.  began  with  the  exhilarating  run  at  the  beginning  of  the 
year,  where  as  fast  as  greased  lightning  he  blazed  around  the  ver>  green  field.  He  soon  discovered  that  his  hair 
was  far  iixi  long  and  by  no  means  acceptable  for  a  respectable  young  lad.  4-5  hair  "trims"  monthly  followed 
the  frequent  requests  for  a  "cut".  He  vaguely  remembers  being  dragged  through  mud  slides  behind  New  House 
with  A.B-  A  few  surprise  nightly  "visits"  from  step  brothers  and  friends  made  for  some  bizarre  nightly  occur- 
rences which  fortunately  were  soon  forgotten.  His  favorite  sporting  event  was  mountain  rec.  cycling  with  A.B. 
through  vast  vegetation  and  thick  forest.  Mushroom  burger  barbeques  were  a  definite  highlight  at  A.C.'s.  S<,x>n 
he  moved  out  to  live  with  a  lovely  family  finding  confinement  in  boarding  unbearable.  He  is  king  of  Nick  land 
and  looks  very  much  forward  to  Europe  for  a  trip  in  September  and  working  hard  at  home  in  California,  where 
he  can  do  anything.  One  day  at  a  lime  he  grooves  on  forever! 


Brent  Bundon 


Brent  came  to  St.  Michaels  in  Grade  9  as  a  feather-haired  rocker.  He  quickly  adjusted  to  S.M.U.  life  and  over 
the  next  four  years  made  many  accomplishments.  In  Grade  10.  Brent  was  on  the  I.S.A.  All-Star  and  member 
of  the  Colls  A  rugby  team.  However,  his  back  injur,  forced  him  to  exchange  his  cleats  for  a  pair  of  Speedos 
and  a  spot  on  the  TEAM  SWIM.  He  resurfaced  in  Grade  12  making  a  special  appearance  on  the  Fourth  XV  but 
decided  it  wasn't  for  him.  These  contributions  were  minor  compared  to  the  commilmenl  he  made  as  co-captain 
of  the  "SULTANS  OF  CHEESE"  hockey  team.  An  intense  competition  Brent  dedicated  the  season  to  his  Weiner 
dog  Malika  that  became  ver\  ill  halfway  through  the  year.  Not  only  a  fine  athlete.  Brent  also  excelled  in  the  fine 
arts  under  the  direction  of  his  idol.  Do  McKay.  A  skilled  musician.  Brent  was  an  important  member  of  the  band 
aiKi  Mr.  McKay's  prize  student.  Learning  his  skills  from  MVC  McGyver  Brent  became  a  survivor,  and  used  his 
Nam  skills  to  almost  singlehandediy  lead  the  group  on  Garibaldi.  Brent  was  an  all-round  nice  guy  and  loved  by 
all.  Unfortunately  Brent  became  a  very  mixed-up  lad  in  Grade  12.  The  power  went  to  his  head  and  he  started 
up  a  secret  gang  in  the  underworld.  Under  the  direction  of  Brent;  Dwight  Lockwood,  Mike  Van  Camp  and  Robb 
Harker  attempted  to  run  the  Grad  Class  into  the  ground.  Despite  trouble.  Brent  felt  "it  was  casual".  After  living 
seventeen  years  in  the  "banger"  zone  of  Gordon  Head.  Brent  moved  uptown,  joining  his  buds  in  UPPER  TER- 
RACE and  becoming  an  honorary  member  of  the  famed  L'.T.C.  Next  year  Brent  will  attend  Queens',  Western 
or  U.V.I.C.  When  not  at  universit>'.  you  wiil  find  Brent  at  King  CABE  with  Thor  and  Jann  Margison. 


Peryl  Cain 


"Perly"  came  to  us  in  Grade  10.  gracing  us  with  her  dynamic  personality  and  beauty  .  .  .  {height  doesn't  matter.) 
Her  Grade  10  year  was  one  of  turbulent  friendships  and  romances.  Grade  1 1 ;  however,  brought  Peryl  stability 
-  (or  at  least  she  appeared  to  be  stable.)  Her  sophisticated  love  of  different  cultures  {food,  language,  people,  ce- 
nezas  etc.)  made  the  Mexico  trip  in  Grade  1 1  a  memorable  one.  Also  on  the  trip.  Peryl  discovered  that  she  had 
the  unique  talent  of  disguising  herself  as  a  drink!  Recognising  Peryl's  intelligence,  determination,  togetherness, 
she  was  elected  Head  Girl  by  her  classmates.  Her  responsibility  as  Head  Girl  has  been  fulfilled  above  and  beyond 
the  call  of  dut>'.  Despite  her  rigorous  schedule,  Peryl  always  has  enough  time  for  her  friends,  whether  it  be  to 
give  her  famous  advice  or  just  companionship.  "Perly's"  three  years  at  S.M.U.  have  been  highlighted  by  her 
great  achie\ements  and  many  victories  at  Debating  and  Public  Speaking.  She  is  involved  in  almost  all  facets  of 
school  life.  Next  year  Peryl  will  most  likely  go  to  England  on  the  GAP  exchange  and  then  to  U.V.I.C.  and  even- 
mally  McGill  to  study  Political  Science.  Don't  be  surprised  if  you  see  our  Head  Girl  in  the  House  of  Commons 
as  Prime  Minister!  Good  luck,  Peryl  and  Vaya  con  Dios! 


Barnett  Chai 


Bamett  came  to  school  in  the  year  1985  from  Malaysia.  He  lived  in  school  house  for  his  first  two  years.  Then, 
he  moved  to  International  House  for  just  one  year.  His  last  two  years  were  spent  in  the  paradise  of  Mr,  Tongue's 
house.  Bamett  was  quiet  in  the  school  just  so  that  he  could  stay  in  the  paradise.  He  spent  most  of  his  time  playing 
Badminton.  He  made  it  to  the  '"A"  Team  Bad  and  the  Fourth  XV.  Sneaking  out?  He  never  sneaks  out.  But  maybe 
a  few  times.  Skipping  Chape!,  though,  was  his  favorite.  "My  alarm  did  not  go  off.  O.K..  I  have  flight  training 
every  Sunday,  at  10  a.m.,  too."  The  paradise  later  on  was  converted  into  a  Noodle  House.  D.M.  was  quite  often 
there,  as  well,  to  eat.  Actually,  he  almost  moved  in.  The  famous  four,  with  whom  he  lived,  excell  in  Basketball; 
they  can  even  "slam".  Who  said  Bamett  had  no  curfew!  He  and  C.H.  and  C.R.  had  to  go  lo  bed  by  4  a.m.  DC. 
sleeps  in  the  aftemoon.  Everyday  during  the  school  year,  he  had  to  help  DM.  and  J.Y.  in  their  assignments  and 
so  on.  That  was  not  bad  for  that  increased  his  pocket  money.  Bamett  is  planning  to  go  to  U.B.C.  or  Carleton 
Universitv.  Keep  up  your  smash  and  good  luck!

Lucas  Chambers 


Creating  a  gym  in  International  House,  and  being  able  to  beat  up  kids  as  a  prefect,  he  made  a  statement  that  a 
real  man  should  have  at  least  thirty-inch  wide  arms.  He  decided  to  pump  iron  after  he  saw  the  picture  of  a  stud 
on  the  wall  of  his  sister's  room,  and  now,  he  has  successfully  gained  quite  a  few  muscles.  He  enjoys  pumping 
himself  up  and  harassing  J.K.  as  well  as  swimming  to  show  off  his  huge  upper  body  and  Weenie  F.  legs.  He 
shows  his  excessive  interest  in  Marine  Biology  which  explains  his  notebooks  which  are  full  of  drawings  of  sharks. 
Consequently,  his  marks  in  Biology  class  have  been  very  good.  He  certified  himself  as  an  open  water,  advanced, 
and  rescue  diver  and  had  some  great  experiences  of  diving  around  Victoria  and  down  in  the  Caribbean.  He  has 
enjoyed  his  great  two  years  at  SMU  and  plans  to  go  to  UBC  or  down  to  a  university  in  Australia  to  study  Marine 
Biology.  "Vallery"  will  be  greatly  missed,  especially  because  of  the  fact  that  we  can't  hear  his  famous  imitation 
of  the  famous  quote.  "You  broke  my  Nintendo,  rrright!"  anymore.  Best  of  luck  in  the  future! 


David  Chang 


David  has  been  at  the  S.M.U.  institution  since  his  arrival  in  grade  8  from  Taiwan.  Since  that  time,  he  has  proven 
himself  as  a  tough  rugby  player  supreme  ("the  Charger")  and  definitely  along  with  B.C..  one  of  the  founding 
members  of  the  Chong  Group  during  the  grade  1 1  University  Tour.  His  residence  at  the  Tongue  house  has  become 
a  regular  hangout  spot  where  people  drink  coffee  and  discuss  philosophy  and  politics.  This  is  probably  due  to 
the  fact  that  he  is  a  very  nice  guy.  A  very  fast  sprint  was  an  invaluable  aid  to  his  flanking  abilities  in  rugby. 
Perhaps  some  of  his  best  memories  come  from  when  he  was  walking  around  downtown  Montreal  at  night.  Dave 
is  planning  to  do  Science  at  university. 


Greg  Churchill 


Greg  came  to  St.  Mike's  in  Grade  10  and  has  found  the  school  to  be  both  challenging  and  fun.  He  will  always 
remember  the  embarrassing  (sp!)  moments  or  serving  his  fellow  students  at  his  part-time  job.  McD's.  Greg  looks 
forward  to  graduating  and  hopes  the  Grad  is  the  wildest  ever  in  S.M.U.  history. 


Chris  Clarke 


Gee  whiz  Chris  Clarke  is  a  nice  guy.  too  bad  his  nickname  is  Cock,  also  known  as  Cocke.  He  came  in  Grade 
6,  a  man  with  a  mission.  It  is  now  Grade  12.  and  his  list  of  accomplishments  is  far  loo  long  to  mention  here, 
but  some  include  playing  in  the  band,  until  Grade  1 1  when  he  got  tired  of  being  a  sacrificial  lamb,  played  rugby 
on  the  Colls  A.  and  with  the  First  XV  till  his  shoulders  stopped  working.  Grade  10,  the  year  Mrs.  C.  started 
paying  Chris'  tuition  insurance  is  a  blur,  so  we'll  skip  it.  Grade  1 1  would  have  been  smooth,  if  it  wasn't  for  a 
conflict  of  opinion  with  Constable  Irwin.  Despite  this,  Chris  "earned"  his  prefect  tie  in  Grade  12.  along  with 
a  Duke  Of  Edinburgh  silver  medallion.  He  will  be  remembered  for  taking  the  hinges  off  M.C.'s  door  with  Gumz. 
his  boisterous  laugh,  and  his  merciful  execution  of  the  Master  Blaster.  He  will  attend  University  in  the  East  next 
year,  and  take  business,  and  will  remember  his  friends  when  he  makes  his  fortune.

Greg  Clarke 


Greg  managed  lo  survive  seven  years  ai  SMU  without  upsetting  too  many  people,  and  even  bccatne  quite  well 
known:  (■'Hi.  Bl")  Though  he'd  like  to  be  remembered  as  being  a  rugby  star  or  head  of  New  House,  most  will 
remember  his  weird  ties,  his  nicknames,  his  brother,  and  his  belt  buckles  Rumoured  as  being  crazy,  Greg  actually 
stayed  out  of  trouble,  but  still  managed  the  odd  dance  lesson,  and  actually  enjoyed  himself  on  occasion.  If  any 
Banff  clowns  ever  hear  him  say  "1  just  want  to  be  left  alone"  -  believe  him,  he  does.  Greg  will  likely  end  up 
at  U  of  A  next  year. 


Robin  Coombes 


Robin  (Birdie,  Rockin,  Batman,  or  just  plain  Bob)  ventured  over  from  the  great  wilderness  of  Saltspring  Island 
10  give  the  big  city  a  try.  She  soon  adjusted  to  the  boarding  life  in  104  with  J. J.,  D.M.,  and  R.P.  (the  closets 
are  useful!)  Determined  to  be  tall,  she  spent  two  years  on  the  B-Ball  team  ■  but  to  no  avail  (I  guess  some  people 
weren't  meant  to  grow).  She  had  better  luck  with  the  V-Ball  and  cycling  teams  where  height  doesn't  matter.  The 
Mexico  trip  was  definitely  the  high  point  of  Grade  1 1  (can  you  say  Sanchez?)  cause  all  that  work  can  bring  a 
person  down.  However  beginning  Grade  12  as  a  prefect,  the  year  seemed  very  promising.  But  the  liaison  with 
a  certain  little  turtle  soon  put  an  end  to  that!  (1  hope  ■  cause  if  there's  rocks  ahead  we'll  all  be  dead!).  For  the 
future,  she  wants  to  join  the  navy  or  relive  the  Princess  Bride.  As  for  next  year,  she  is  going  up  the  road  to  study 
Biology  in  the  Co-op  program.  May  your  fiight  be  merry! 


Tyson  Cooper 


Tyson,  a. k. a.  Petra.  the  innocent  4  eyed  prairie  boy.  marched  into  Grade  8  only  to  be  shocked  by  the  small.  12-man 
School  House  dorms.  But  he  soon  shed  his  glasses  and  various  other  manners  and  began  terrorizing  S.M.U.  and 
its  contents.  Throughout  his  boarding  days.  Tyson  has  had  his  fair  share  of  weird  roommates,  namely  MP..  J.B., 
J.M.,  S.A.  But  who  turned  who  crazy  first  HMMM'?  Oh,  and  by  the  way.  Peeping  Tyson,  used  the  telescope 
lately?!  Although  he  has  participated  in  band,  badminton,  and  other  hobbies,  his  favorite  pastime  still  seems  to 
be  with  the  female  species!  After  5  years  and  approximately  15  girls,  he  has  finally  settled  with  R.C.  (the  poor 
girl).  Tyson,  with  luck,  will  enter  U  of  Saskatchewan  and  (god  forbid)  become  a  prairie  vet.  Good  luck.  Cooper! 


David  Coppard 


David  came  lo  the  coast  from  the  sprawling  industrial  heartland  of  British  Columbia  -  Williams  Lake,  He  spent 
a  year  at  Parkiands  Schiwl  adjusting  to  the  quaint  surroundings.  Gone  was  the  hum  of  a  distant  tractor  pull  at 
dusk,  and  the  soft  rumble  of  a  motorcycle  in  the  halls.  He  has  gotten  used  to  it.  however,  and  towards  the  end 
of  the  year  learned  of  the  existence  of  S.M.U.  Here  was  a  place  where  you  could  be  justifiably  pompous,  so  he 
leaped  at  the  chance  to  attend.  His  most  excilmg  moments  at  the  school  came  with  watching  his  marks  plummet 
in  the  initial  few  weeks.  Fortunately  they  rebounded  before  he  left  to  become  a  jockey.  Other  moments  included 
experiencing  Mr.  Creek's  innovative  bus  driving  (he  still  sits  by  the  fire  escape)  and  scoring  two  goals  in  road 
hockey  almost  accidentally.  He  also  enjoyed  the  brief  glimpses  of  absolute  power  occasionally  being  in  charge 
of  closing  the  library  gave  him.  (la  bibliotheque  c'est  moi.)  The  rest  of  the  time  he  prided  himself  on  being  able 
to  go  for  hours  without  forming  an  expression  on  his  face.  He  hopes  this  will  prepare  him  for  a  future  career 
as  a  nervous  banker.  He  will  take  commerce  al  U.B.C.  and  intends  to  spend  his  spare  time  avoiding  sharp  objects 
and  strange  animals.

Jack  Coyne 


Jack  will  be  remembered  for  his  many  exploits  and  advenuires,  all  of  which  will  not  be  mentioned  here.  Known 
to  his  friends  as  an  insomniac  armed  with  the  ever-present  bag,  which  contained  everything  from  silly  putty  to 
stingrays,  he  was  a  devout  follower  of  the  teachings  of  the  Venerable  Gregario  who  commanded  '"Carpe  Diem". 
"Jacko"  had  the  inhuman  knack  for  finding  people,  even  when  they're  in  another  city  and  was  able  to  implant 
strange  thoughts  into  their  unsuspecting  minds  (Have  you  ever  seen  Quadrophenia?)-  After  being  voted  the  most 
valuable  player  on  the  First  XV  for  two  consecutive  years,  "'Action"  also  played  on  the  B.C.  All-Star  Basketball 
team  for  the  third  time,  making  him  a  well-rounded  athlete  indeed.  Having  completed  his  five-year  mission  (from 
Grade  8  to  12).  seeking  out.  and  that  sort  of  stuff,  this  anomaly  plans  to  go  someplace  and  do  something  or  other.

Mike  Crape 


Mike  Crape  left  his  Gold  River  reservation  and  arrived  at  St.  Michaels  in  Grade  10.  Mike  became  quickly  loved 
by  all  as  he  gained  101  nicknames  including  Barbu,  Starbu.  Baldu.  Grubu.  Lobstu,  Rugbu,  Bubarian,  Jigaboo. 
Boostrip,  Booweiser,  Emmanuel  Boostein,  007.  Conan  the  Bubarian,  Boo  Diddley.  Boo  Belly,  Boo  Jackson,  0036. 
Peek  a  Boo,  Mikeesh,  or  just  commonly  BOO.  Michael,  amidst  ib  broken  noses  and  bad  knees,  managed  to  do 
more  than  his  share  for  athletics  at  S.M.U.  He  played  rugby  for  Colts  B  and  the  Second  XV,  soccer.  Track  and 
Field,  and  was  captain  of  the  Gold  team  in  Grade  12.  But  these  are  minor  activities  compared  to  the  major  roles 
he  played  on  the  "Sultans  of  Cheese"  hockey  team  and  the  ultimate  honour;  1st  XV  touch  judge!  Mike  will  always 
be  remembered  for  his  outgoing  personality  and  his  fascinating  grin  (especially  by  L.M.).  Boo  knows  pick-ups! 
As  Michael  leaves  S.M.U.  and  heads  to  the  University  of  Western  Ontario  he  leaves  us  this  memorAble  quote; 
"HARSH".  Good-bye  Michael.  We  hope  your  summer  is  as  good  as  your  last  one. 


Emily  Cronin 


Em  walked  into  S.M  U  as  a  cute,  curly  locked  Grade  10.  After  showing  off  her  so-called  musical  talents  in  both 
orchestra  and  choir,  she  proceeded  to  dazzle  everyone  with  her  record  swim  times.  She  then  drove  into  Grade 
1 1  with  her  mean  green  party  machine  VW  Bug  complete  with  AS.  in  the  front  seat.  Oh,  and  by  the  way.  Em. 
pay  attention  when  you  drive,  running  red  lights  can  be  potentially  dangerous!  Frequently  known  for  her  noisy 
laughs,  and  loud  voice,  it's  no  wonder  she  managed  to  get  R.A.  into  trouble.  ("And  you  were  daft  enough  to 
listen  to  her  .  .!")  Who  would  have  thought  that  the  seemingly  quiet  Grade  10  would  turn  into  the  glamourous 
prefect  that  she  is  now?!  Good  luck.  Auntie  Em,  and  remember.  "There's  no  place  like  home."

El  Rojo  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  10  from  Ottawa.  As  a  newcomer  to  Victoria  and  the  school.  Greer  had  no 
trouble  fitting  in  and  having  fun  right  away.  Every  year  Greer  has  taken  part  in  Girls"  Soccer  and  has  been  a 
strong  member  of  the  team  despite  her  size.  Her  unmistakable  voice  can  be  heard  every  day  in  the  girls'  changing 
room  or  back  showers  {Greer's  favorite  hang-out!)  and  helped  profoundly  in  the  choruses  of  both  of  the  school 
musicals  "The  Mikado"  and  "Kiss  Me  Kate".  Greer  has  had  many  fond  memories  of  high  school  starting  with 
Slave  Day  (could  you  imagine  Greer  Grier?)  all  the  way  to  the  Grad  ski  trip  where  she  definitely  skied  her  buns 
off!  (Lets  download  from  the  top,  OK  guys?)  Greer's  school  life  at  S.M.U.  has  been  very  exciting  for  her.  and 
somehow  she  always  has  fun  with  her  amigos  Nick,  Big  Al,  Tums.  and  Jules,  at  Girls'  Nite  (or  was  it').  Through 
the  good  times  and  the  bad  times,  Greer  has  been  a  great  supportive  friend  who's  always  ready  to  have  fun!  Keep 
in  touch  Greer  -  you've  got  what  ii  takes  to  go  far!

Rachel  Curran 


Rachel  has  spent  five  interesting  and  fruitful  years  at  SMU,  Her  best  memories  include:  Grade  nine  German  with 
Frau  G..  hiking  the  West  Coast  Trail  (nice  timing.  Sack!)  and  spending  the  belter  pan  of  Grade  12  trying  to  con- 
vince S.E,  that  she  really  is  an  intuitive  thinker  Thanx  goes  to  Smick.  Spog.  Neem.  Sack,  Ecna.  N.B..  and  of 
course.  T,C  .  whose  incredibly  low  mark  in  Bio  made  up  for  a  lot.  Also,  of  course,  to  A.B..  who  made  us  realise 
how  stressful  and  duty-full  the  life  of  a  prefect  really  is  Rakel  hopes  to  begin  pre-med.  courses  at  McGill  next

Jed  Dearborn 

In  Harvey  House  he  was  the  head. 

Til  his  face  got  exceedingly  red. 

After  one  shon  jog  in  ihe  mud  and  the  bog. 

He  woke  up  in  the  infirmary  bed. 

This  turned  him  excessively  mean. 

After  tailing  with  the  great  rugby  team. 

From  success  on  Colts  "A",  they  got  lost  on  the  way. 

To  becoming  a  great  1st  XV. 
From  Eaionia,  Jed  came  as  a  hick. 
In  the  city  he  learned  very  quick. 
Scoring  women  was  easy,  "till  they  called  him  cheesy, 
Now  he's  off  lo  the  great  U  of  VIC.

Sarah  Donald 


Sarah  came  to  SMU  in  Grade  7  with  LB-,  M.W.,  and  S.S.  Days  in  Middle  Remove  were  filled  with  bunched, 
swooshed  and  flipped  hair,  wedgies  (except  for  L.B.'s  PENNYLOAFERS).  vegetable  soup.  Mrs.  L.  rehab  talks, 
and  changeroom  hideouts  from  .  .  .  THE  BOYS!!!  AAGGHH!  Since  then  Sarah  has  shed  "the  bunch"  and  become 
an  enthusiastic  door  warden.  She  has  been  a  part  of  the  Mikado.  Kiss  Me  Kate  and  the  First  XI  grass  hockey 
team-  She  has  gained  valuable  cultural  enrichment  both  from  the  Mexico  trip  in  '89  (we  did  not!!)  and  the  Britain 
tour  in  '90.  "The  Woody"  and  memories  of  his  many  dastardly  deeds  will  always  remain  an  unshakable  part 
of  our  souls,  as  well  as  his  excursions  lo  a  certain  restaurant  chain  (English  at  the  University  of  Alberta  you  say?!) 
Sarah  may  one  day  migrate  to  New  York,  (unless  The  Woody  gets  lost  on  the  way)  and  become  an  actress.  She 
will  probably  get  lost  in  all  her  fan  mail,  but  that's  OK-,  her  "room's  a  mess"  anyway.  Next  year  Sarah  will 
study  Drama  at  either  UB-C-  or  the  University  of  Alberta- 


Niamh  Donnelly 


Equipped  with  her  *'fro"  and  green  glasses,  NiamNiamNiam  entered  Grade  II  at  S.M.U.  from  Edmonton  at 
the  tender  age  of  15.  The  runt  of  the  pack  participated  in  basically  all  sports  on  the  face  of  the  earth  -  namely 
basketball,  volleyball,  track,  and  squash.  Horses,  cars  and  canoeing  .  .  .  whoops,  kayaking  are  some  of  her  main 
interests  along  with  her  great  success  in  academics  (microchip).  She  soon  developed  into  the  New  House  "tutor" 
with  a  special  eye  for  the  new  boy-you  know  who.  Niamh  can't  decide  to  go  to  Brussels  or  U.  of  A.  to  study 
Medicine    Must  be  tough!  Best  of  luck  Drac!!

Renee  Dugan 


Renee  flew  into  the  S.M.U.  community  (not  in  economy  class,  of  course)  for  Grade  II,  from  the  peaks  of  Mt. 
Everest.  Nepal.  A  dedicated  viewer  of  Arsenio.  this  prefect  could  often  be  found  in  the  common  room  drinking 
diet  rootbeer.  if  not  diet  rootbeer.  then  regular  rootbeer;  if  not  roolbeer,  then  diet  Coke  ...  but  definitely  noi 
Crush!  A  former  Calgarian,  Hacksaw  has  survived  her  two  years  in  boarding  with  the  help  of  her  faithful  friends 
N.D..  A.S.,  and  J. P..  This  Yanks  academic  achievements  are  monumental  in  the  field  of  Probs  and  Stals.  with 
Mr.  Wilson  assuring  her  that  "all  she  has  to  do  is  pass."  When  not  investigating  the  mysterious  smoke  coming 
out  of  the  room  across  the  hall,  she  sometimes  could  be  seen  going  to  games,  a  racquet  in  her  hand.  She  was 
a  brutal  threat  to  her  "smashing"  partner  A.S..  who  had  the  bruises  to  show  for  it.  Though  she  was  without

Tom  Duke 


Tommy  is  a  nice  boy.  sweaty  and  a  little  hairy,  but  nice,  Tom  was  not  always  a  6  foot  four  215  lb.  prop.  Grade 

8  was  marked  by  countless  wrestling  defeats  to  M.V.C,  and  PG.  as  Vinman  the  Terrible.  However  in  Grade 

9  the  cello  man  scored.  Was  there  any  doubt  that  these  two  would  end  up  at  Grad  together?  Well  from  the  "switch" 
with  Moss  in  Grade  9  Tom  went  off  to  the  Far  East  to  improve  his  rugby  and  gain  some  memories/  nicknames 
from  his  Big  Bro,  Tom's  life  at  S.M.U.  prospered.  In  Grade  1 1  Tom  earned  his  spot  on  both  the  First  XV  and 
B-Ball  Team.  In  Grade  12  Tom  captained  rugby  and  basketball  as  well  as  keeping  up  legendary  status  as  playboy 
and  scholar  Tom  is  the  kind  of  guy  who  will  miss  everyone.  He  is  the  cute  and  loveable  type.  As  well  as  giving 
all  he  could  to  the  Sarahs,  Tom  gave  very  much  to  every  aspect  of  the  school,  especially  the  boarders  who  were 
constantly  given  the  so-called  privilege  of  cruisin'  in  the  Love  Machine  -  "I'm  in  there".  Tom  stands  remembered 
as  somehow  evading  the  illustrious  title  of  "Cheesy".  But  we  know  the  truth.  Tom  was  everyone's  friend,  he 
had  lunch  with  P.M.  almost  every  day  m  Grade  1 1  as  they  pondered  over  Trig,  equations.  If  at  all  possible  Tom 
plans  to  spend  a  year  abroad.  Then  Tom  will  drive  to  any  University  that  will  take  him,  that  is  if  he  finds  his 
jacket.  Anyway,  good  luck  Tom,  don't  ever  change. 


Nicole  Duncan 


Nicole  escaped  from  St.  Margarets  and  graced  us  with  her  presence  in  Grade  10.  This  drastic  change  corrupted 
her  "sweet  innocence"  when  she  became  emersed  in  .  .  .  BOYS!!!  and  learned  the  essence  of  the  "FIESTA" 
only  to  escape  with  a  month  abroad  wine  tasting  in  France  and  learning  about  other  cultures.  Nic  will  be  fondly 
remembered  for  her  great  love  and  ability  in  afternoon  aerobic  sessions,  Nicole  will  never  end  her  obsession  with 
trees  and  Vancouver  Island  wildlife,  and  next  year  Nicole  hopes  to  enter  U.B.C.  to  study  Business  Administration 
after  which  she  will  become  involved  in  her  father's  business.  Hopefully  becoming  the  next  real  estate  tycoon 
and  carrying  on  the  family  tradition.  Good  luck  in  whatever  you  do  and  keep  in  touch  no  matter  how  far  away 
your  career  takes  you.  Ciao  Nic.  "I  get  by  with  a  little  help  from  my  friends  .  .  ." 


Chris  Dyson 


Chris  Dyson  was  a  St.  Pat's  refugee  and  found  his  way  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  8.  Through  his  happy  years  at  S.M.U. 
he  acquired  numerous  names  such  as  "Big  Guy",  "The  Dyser",  and  "R.F.".  Chris  brought  with  him  a  happy 
personality  which  affected  (he  whole  grade  ...  to  a  degree.  His  piano  playing  was  an  inspiration  in  morning 
chapel,  and  in  Grade  1 1  he  worked  for  the  good  of  the  grade  as  a  rep.  to  the  Student  Council.  Chris  was  involved 
in  many  scandals  through  his  early  years  as  a  result  of  S.  P. 's  doings.  One  of  the  more  tame  ones  being  his  rumored 
links  to  S.E.  and  K.M.  Chris  was  also  a  fine  athlete  who  excelled  in  cross  country  running  and  represented  the 
school  in  many  track  meets.  Among  his  many  memories  he  will  take  with  him  will  be  the  university  tour  and 
his  close  personal  and  perhaps  inseperable  bonding  with  one  J. P.  Chris  will  also  be  remembered  for  hosting  Chi- 
nese New  Years  Dinner  with  C.B.  and  his  cross  .  The  Dyser  will  also  be  remembered  for  his  slormtrooperlike 
tactics  on  the  student  body  while  serving  as  one  of  the  core  group  of  prefects.  He  will  also  hold  true  to  his  long 
Sunday  nights  of  sipping  coffee  at  the  Village  Inn,  plotting  the  direction  of  prefect  policy  with  the  rest  of  the 
"Big  5".  those  being  C.B.,  S.F.,  A.B.  &  A.H.  Take  care  Chris  and  keep  in  touch.  Those  of  us  who  knew  you 
will  always  be  grateful  for  your  friendship. 


Sacha  Edgell 


"Hey  Sacha,  what  should  I  put  in  your  grad  wri(e  up?"  We  all  know  that  Sacha  (a.k.a.  Sackey.  Sack  Attack, 
or  Smasha)  came  to  S.M  U  with  R.C  in  grade  8  from,  where  else,  NHS.  Familiar  with  the  private  school 
style  of  life,  Sacha  soon  settled  down  and  became  an  active  member  of  the  S.M.U.  "Family".  Sacky,  an  avid 
athlete,  was  a  member  of  the  First  XI  Field  Hixkey  team  (Holy,  this  skirt  is  so  big),  and  T.C's  tennis  team  (But 
Sir,  you  never  look  when  my  serve  goes  in).  In  her  final  year  at  S.M.U..  Sacha's  academic  efforts  payed  off 
and  she  emerged  as  School  Captain,  as  well  as  a  prefect.  When  she  is  not  studying,  jumping  around  in  aerobics, 
or  performing  her  "captainly"  duties,  Sacha  is  counting  the  hours  to  the  weekend  when  she  can  go  for  a  ride 
...  on  her  horse.  Sacha's  most  vivid  memories  of  S.M.U.  include:  surviving  five  years  of  "biology"  (you  can 
refer  to  the  text  on  that  one!),  and  strolling  the  West  Coast  Trail  in  Grade  1 1 ,  where  she  learned  several  "survival 
techniques"  Next  year  Sacha  plans  to  attend  McGill,  Western,  or  U.Vic,  to  study  science.  Good  luck,  Sacha. 
Remember;  wherever  you  go,  there  you  are. 


Sarah  Elford 


There  is  so  much  that  1  could  write  down  for  you.  with  all  the  memories  of  this  school.  Where  can  I  start?  Well. 
Sarah  came  from  Monteray.  where  she  was  the  leading  patrol  girl,  to  St.  Mikes  in  Grade  8.  Not  surprisingly 
at  all,  she  quickly  fit  into  the  social  scene  and  got  stuck!  She  still  managed  to  take  the  time  to  sleep,  eat  breathe, 
and  uh,  uh.  oh  yeah,  do  sports  She  has  been  on  the  senior  soccer  team  for  4  years,  being  the  key  scorer  (not 
surprisingly).  She  was  also  on  the  senior  Basketball  team  and  Track  team  for  3  years.  Oh  yeah,  field  hockey. 
she  played  for  3  years  on  the  senior  team  being  captain  for  the  last  year.  In  Grade  10  Sarah  was  in  the  school 
play  Jesus  Christ  Superstar  moving  props  WOW!  But.  was  it  worth  if  (It  being  the  cast  party)  In  Grade  1 1  she 
went  on  the  Mexico  trip,  which  she  found  highly  educational,  and  inexpensive.  So  I  ask  her  today,  are  you  still 
stuck?,  and  she  says  yes.  and  I  love  it!  So  what  is  the  Wild  and  Crazy  Girl  going  to  do  with  all  her  future  years? 
She  says  work  for  the  National  Geographic  as  a  Photo  journalist  in  Africa  and  get  married  at  30.  In  my  opinion 
she'll  get  tired  of  all  those  bare  butts  and  return  to  Canada  and  get  married  to  a  certain  T.D..  then  work  part 
time  at  the  water  slides  so  she  can  look  after  the  little,  black  boy  she  intends  to  adopt.  Wow.  what  a  life.  Just 
remember  Mullet  1.  Gooey.  Gano  Stew  forever!  See  you  next  year  in  England  on  the  Gap  Exchange! 


Sean  Ewart 


In  Grade  9  Sean  arrived  at  SMU  as  a  shy  hicktown  lad  Within  a  few  weeks  Sean  had  beed  transformed  into 
a  typical  SMU  boarder.  Sean's  School  House  memories  include  vicious  pen  fights  with  Mike  B,  and  the  admittance 
of  Liz.  his  sister.  Sean's  next  three  years  were  spent  in  International  House,  (why  we  will  never  know).  While 
in  International  House  Sean  managed  to  pass  out  in  the  bathroom,  play  a  zillion  games  of  pool,  and  become  a 
God  (Prefect).  Throughout  Sean's  illustrious  SMU  career  he  participated  in  a  wide  range  of  athletic  endeavors. 
In  Grade  1 1  Sean  somehow  managed  to  play  for  the  Colts  A.  then  in  his  senior  year  was  a  member  of  the  not- 
so-prestigious  First  X'V.  In  second  term  Sean  played  soccer  well  enough  to  make  the  First  XI.  Last  year  Sean 
was  fortunate  enough  to  ravel  to  Vancouver  to  paruke  in  the  Provincial  Track  meet.  There  he  specialized  in  the 
4X400  relay.  Academically  Sean  excelled  in  all  areas  of  mathematics  and  science.  Sean's  future  plans  are  to  enter 
either  Queens  or  McGill's  Science  Faculty,  and  then  become  a  doctor. 


Craig  Parish 


In  Grade  9  Craig  came  to  SMU  from  Cranbrook  (don't  worry  you  aren't  the  only  one  who  hasn't  heard  of  Cran- 
brook;  at  least  it's  better  than  Femie),  Each  year  Craig  changed  houses  to  become  one  of  few  who  get  lo  experience 
each  residence.  After  fairly  quiet  stints  in  School  and  International  Houses  Craig  flourished  as  a  ruthless  prefect 
in  Harvey  House!  His  most  vivid  recollections  from  that  year  were:  Rick  and  "None  of  that  scrubb  stuff,  Derek 
hanging  from  the  door  handle  in  a  laundry  bag.  and  the  unforgettable  Dr.  B.  and  his  psychiatric  services.  Not 
one  to  take  sleep  lightly,  Craig  could  be  called  lazy  though  he  was  quick  when  free  food  was  involved.  Craig 
had  particular  grumbles  including  Chain  Saw  Ted.  and  those  who  didn't  appreciate  his  backwards  clock.  Always 
a  rugby  semi-jock  Craig  was  captain  of  the  Third  XV  and  was  probably  the  only  fly  half  to  know  every  slat  from 
ever>'  game  he  played,  not  to  mention  action-packed  dorm  replays.  Known  by  many  to  have  a  stinky  fridge,  and 
a  terrible  humming  voice  to  go  along  with  his  incessant  whistling  Craig  would  like  to  leave  you  with  a  profound 
comment  coming  direct  from  Vladivostok:  "If  you  want  to  dump  her.  at  least  wait  till  the  ferry  ride  is  OVER". 
Bye  Craig,  and  get  that  stupid  grin  off  your  face.

Aaron  Farnsworth 


A  deep,  bareful  clamour  is  sued  tonh  as  the  endless  sky  of  gloomy,  grey  clouds  paned,  slightly.  From  this  cavity 
tore  a  beam  of  seemingly  solid  light,  emmersing  a  boy,  a  child  that,  in  a  radiant  pool  of  gold-  From  the  boy  a 
rush  of  air  emerging  from  his  lips,  quickly  changed  to  a  cry,  an  unnerving  blend  of  fear  and  wonder.  Then,  as 
the  boy  looked  upwards,  it  stopped.  Arching  his  back  he  stretched  his  frame  and  raised  his  arms  upwards,  slowly 
he  rose.  Ascending  the  brilliant  beam  he  left  the  cold  chthonian  darkness  behind. 


Vanson  Field 


Taking  a  long  pull  on  his  cold  milk.  Van  the  Man  leaned  back  in  his  chair  and  reminisced  on  his  past  8  year 
at  S.M.U.  It  had  by  no  means  been  an  easy  journey,  but  by  God.  he  had  made  it.  with  flying  colours  no  less 
He  would  always  remember  these  days  of  his  youth,  when  he  would  walk  among  his  people,  white  pipmg  glintinj 
in  the  summer  sun.  and.  pointing  his  long  arm  of  the  law  at  some  malfaisant  who  had  somehow  penetrated  tb 
S.M.U.  Force  Field  of  Virtue,  quietly  decreeing  "you're  busted".  Yea,  these  were  the  golden  years  indeed,  Bas 
ketball,  French  Horn,  lusty  babes  ,  -  .  he  had  seen  it  all,  and  come  out  of  it  a  better  man.  But  where  to  now 
oh  mighty  warrior?  He  looked  to  the  East,  where  the  early  morning  sun  was  glinting  off  the  white  clouds.  Thenc 
must  I  go.  for  what  man  seeks  to  deny  fate?  Draining  the  last  of  his  milk,  he  got  out  of  his  chair  and  mounle- 
his  white  stallion,  then  rode  off,  looking  no  more  backwards,  but  to  the  future,  and  the  mysteries  of  life  that  surel 
no  man  will  ever  predict  but  will  just  as  surely  unfold  themselves  in  due  course  as  fate  deems  wise.  (Science  at  U.B.C. 


Scott  Fletcher 


One  of  S.M.U. 's  core  prefects.  Scon  has  enjoyed  a  memorable  six  years  at  the  school.  After  arriving  from  Glen- 
lyon,  Scott  quickly  established  himself  as  one  of  the  leading  members  of  his  grade.  Scott  also  quickly  became 
known  for  his  unusual  practical  jokes  and  set-ups  which  gave  new  definition  to  the  word  "hokey."  (Just  ask  CD!) 
In  Grade  10,  Scott  was  elected  to  Student  Council  and  handled  his  political  duties  with  much  professionalism. 
That  same  year  Scott  helped  to  get  our  present  School  Captain  into  a  very  embarrassing  situation  at  a  dance  at 
the  racquet  club,  (He  never  did  replace  the  lock  to  the  ladies'  changeroom).  In  Grade  11,  Scott  joined  The  Dyser. 
Rob,  and  the  Chang  Gang  on  an  excursion  to  the  snowy  wastes  of  Eastern  Canada.  Scott  did  make  many  new 
friends  on  the  University  Tour.  One  especially!  Today  Scott  is  at  the  top  of  J.P.'s  hit  list.  Grade  12  has  been 
a  busy  year  for  Scott.  Scott  can  often  be  seen  bombing  down  in  the  Taurus  on  his  way  to  defend  Canada  from 
Commies,  Ruskies,  Parti  Quebecois,  Elizabeth  Cull  and  the  rest  of  Mikey's  Socialists.  Indeed,  Scott  found  that 
his  military  experience  came  in  handy  when  he  achieved  prefect  status.  Scott  again  carried  out  his  prefect  duties 
with  a  high  degree  of  professionalism,  and  could  often  be  seen  patrolling  the  corridors  with  AH.  for  delinquents, 
(garbage  duty  for  you.  Farnsworth!)  and  protecting  the  prefect  room  from  vandals.  Scott  will  be  remembered 
most,  though,  for  being  a  very  personable  and  likeable  chap.  All  of  his  friends  will  surely  miss  him  next  year. 
Good  luck  Scott! 


Rory  Forbes 


Ror>  arrived  at  SMU  many  years  ago.  in  Grade  six  (when  girls  were  a  scarcity),  as  a  Harvey  House  boarder. 
After  crying  his  way  through  his  first  year  and  finally  convincing  his  parents  to  save  him,  he  became  a  full-fledged 
day  student.  Except  for  B-Ball.  Rory  participated  in  all  sports  with  a  heavy  emphasis  on  rugby,  being  well  adjusted 
to  any  back  position.  Working  his  way  up  to  the  2nd  XV  m  Grade  1 1 ,  and  showing  great  promise,  he  then  sustained 
an  injury,  which  fortunately  healed  in  time  for  the  1st  XV  tour  of  Britain  in  1990.  After  his  good  friend.  M.R.. 
departed  the  school  "prematurely",  Rory  and  R.L,  linked  as  friends  to  form  a  potentially  hazardous  combination, 
Rory,  now  known  as  GOOMBA  or  WOP.  could  easily  be  found  at  any  form  of  social  "get  together"  with  his 
infamous  "LeCar",  Perhaps  the  only  person  who  knows  Rory  belter  than  R.L.  is  A.L..  Rory's  second  half.  Fond 
memories  for  Rory  include  the  Mexico  Trip,  his  many  boarding  house  buds,  and  playing  pool  at  J.G's  house  in 
their  numerous  spares  (coincidentally  at  the  same  time!)  Rory  contributed  much  to  the  overall  spirit  of  SMU, 
and  its  halls  will  never  quite  be  the  same  again  without  his  friendly,  outgoing  nature  and  devilish  smile.  Next 
year  these  will  probably  be  found  with  Rory  at  the  University  of  Western  Ontario,  along  with  his  other  partner 
in  crime. 


Michael  Ford 


This  Brentwood  nian  troni  Williams  Lake  decided  to  try  his  hand  at  S.M.U.  near  the  end  of  Grade  eleven.  His 
real  mark  came  in  Grade  twelve,  however,  when  he  became  part  of  the  glorious  Second  Fifteen  and  then  went 
on  tour.  As  a  biurding  member  livmg  wiih  Super  Yoo  he  helped  found  the  week  night  club.  His  hobbies  include 
basket  weavmg,  quarters  and  collecting  B.B's.  His  hopes  next  year  are  to  either  go  to  U.  of  Vic.  if  he  gets  in. 
or  New  Zealand  if  all  else  fails. 


Paul  Ford 


Paul  made  his  cross  lo  S.M.U.  after  attending  Glenlyon  for  six  years,  however  due  to  his  natural  intelligence 
and  instinct,  it  was  not  too  late  to  save  him.  Nobody  at  school  knew  or  recognized  him  due  to  a  curtain  of  black 
locks  that  hung  from  his  forehead.  With  his  vision  considerably  impaired,  he  got  hitched  with  A.M.  and  had  a 
long  and  fruittiil  relationship.  It  was  in  Grade  10  when  Paul's  rugby  career  truly  began.  After  having  played  on 
the  wing  he  decided  to  try  a  much  more  skillful  and  demanding  position  in  the  pack.  As  a  second  row,  Paul  made 
the  2nd  XV  in  Grade  1 1  and  was  the  cornerstone  of  the  back  row  for  the  1st  XV  in  Grade  12.  His  skill  and  de- 
lerminaiion  gave  him  a  position  on  the  I.S.A.  selects,  the  B.C.'s  Under  17"s  and  the  prestigious  Crimson  Tide. 
He  hopes  to  play  for  Canada  one  day.  but  the  1st  XV's  tour  to  the  U.K.  was  this  year's  priority.  Paul  is  not  only 
an  athlete,  but  a  scholar  as  well.  This  in  addition  to  his  leadership  qualities  and  charisma  led  him  to  his  current 
position  of  S.M-U.  Head  Boy,  and  he  keeps  the  title  in  the  family  for  the  second  year  running.  If  only  there  were 
another  Ford  to  fill  Paul's  shoes  next  year!  Outside  of  school,  Paul  was  a  budding  young  anarchist  ready  to  take 
on  the  world,  and  it  was  not  until  Grade  1 1  that  he  traded  his  leather  and  studs  for  a  Polo  shirt  and  a  Raiders 
hat.  Whatever  Paul  does  in  the  future,  he  will  do  well,  and  hopes  to  make  a  great  deal  of  money  doing  it.  "Too 
cool  for  school,  too  smart  for  the  real  world"  Take  it  easy.  Pal. 


Dirk  Gombos 


Dirk  Zoltan  Gombos  (Zolt.  Ernie)  first  arrived  at  SMU  in  Grade  8  with  no  idea  what  the  next  five  years  held 
in  store  for  him.  His  first  year  was  filled  with  weekend  excursions  to  Johnny  Zee's  and  his  Grannie's.  In  Grade 
9.  Dirk  found  himself  on  the  Student  Council  and  briefly  in  the  arms  of  A.M.  Ernie  impressed  everyone  with 
his  inner  abilities  at  Reilly's  and  his  soccer  abilities  with  R?L.  in  Grade  10.  Having  lived  in  China  for  2  years. 
Zoh  was  ready  for  Mr.  Skinner's  "English  as  a  second  language"  Class  in  Grade  1 1.  He  again  teamed  up  with 
R.L.  in  International  House  where  their  friendship  for  overseas  students,  especially  Chinese,  blossomed.  They 
survived  Miss  Thompson's  legendary  Grade  1 1  choir  class,  chapel,  rec.  cycling  and  even  Mexico  ("des  emador 
por  favor")  and  even  managed  a  trip  or  two  to  McDonalds.  Dirk  was  made  a  prefect  with  fellow  roommate  C.C. 
in  Grade  12.  seemed  to  enjoy  schcwl  {Mrs.  Gwilliam's  Algebra  12  class  with  R.L..  R.F..  T.Y..  S.N..)  and  even 
made  a  couple  of  friends  {A.B.).  Dirk  will  be  remembered  for  his  charity  work,  school  productions,  and  Math 
contests.  He  has  aimed  down  scholarship  offers  from  Harvard.  Stanford.  Oxford.  Cambridge,  to  stay  close  to 
his  Granny's  at  Camosun  College. 


Peter  Goodier 


Jeet.  Peia  Goodier  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  8  as  a  skater  punk  from  Hell  and  slowly  convened  himself  to  a 
jamming  bluesman.  Jeet  had  many  e.xciting  adventures  in  School  House  in  Grades  8&9.  from  dorm  raids  to  helping 
M.V.C.  bully  and  torment  Tusk  Jake  the  Snake  was  considered  bad  to  the  bone  especially  after  that  crazy  night 
that  left  L.B.  in  tears.  Jeep  has  always  been  a  great  customer  at  Johnny  Zee's  and  Lyie's,  forever  increasing  his 
record  collection,  who  says  people  no  longer  buy  records  J.G.?  In  Grade  10  Jeep  mellowed  out  from  his  wild, 
on  the  run  life  to  learn  the  guitar,  that  modeled  and  restricted  Jeet  into  Jeep,  the  illustrious  pumpkin  head.  This 
prepared  Jeep  for  Grades  1 1  and  12  where  he  was  under  the  guidance  of  the  Yiddish  yet  distinguished  M.V.C, 
which  inevitably  caused  Jeep  to  return  to  his  previous  life  of  crime.  Besides  living  life  in  the  fast  lane  with  a 
certain  K.M.  Jeep  was  also  a  member  of  the  legendary  Grade  1 1  choir  class.  In  Grade  12  Jeep  kept  himself  out 
of  trouble.  He  was  honoured,  thrilled  and  privileged  lo  be  the  neighbour  of  R  L.  and  E.N  in  Grade  12  and  espe- 
cially thankful  for  rooming  four  out  of  his  five  years  at  S.M.U,  with  M.V.C.  Jeep  has  been  a  competitive  rugby 
and  soccer  player  serving  the  First  XV  in  his  Grade  12  year.  Jeep  will  be  attending  U.B.C.  next  year.

Dave  Guernsey 


The  Gumz  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  8.  where  he  had  no  trouble  causing  trouble  in  School  House  in  the  infamous 
dorm  36.  After  an  attempt  to  burn  School  House  down,  Dave  decided  to  try  a  few  years  in  International  House 
taking  full  advantage  of  Mr.  Cummings  "blind  eye".  A  final  year  in  New  House  has  proved  to  be  a  little  safer 
managmg  to  stay  away  from  Cornelius  Owen-Flood.  Dave  took  fiill  advantage  of  his  rugby  skills  in  Grade  8 
going  on  the  Rugby  Tour  to  Britam.  and  again  on  Tour  to  Britain  this  year  after  a  very  successful  year  on  thi 
first  XV.  playing  fullback.  Physics  was  not  one  of  Dave's  favorites,  but  he  managed  to  use  much  of  what  ht 
learned  to  good  use  and  has  enjoyed  quite  a  few  ladies  over  the  years.  We  won't  worry  about  you  for  the  future 
Through  the  parties,  the  long  weekends  and  the  trips  to  Maui.  Dave  has  managed  to  get  some  good  grades,  and 
plans  to  take  commerce  next  year.  Don't  forget  your  friends  when  the  money  starts  raking  in'  All  the  best  Dave, 
and  T.F.S.!! 


Clint  Hanson 


Future  goals  .  .  .  well  .  .  .  mmm  ,  .  .  Waterloo  I  hope,  but  who  knows  maybe  MIT,  (yeah  right!).  Anyway, 
I  guess  I  should  say  that  before  coming  to  S.M.U.  as  a  boarder  I  spent  a  year  and  a  half  in  the  highlands  of  Papua, 
New  Guinea.  (Where's  that''),  Don't  worry  about  it,  I'm  still  trying  to  figure  thai  out.  As  far  as  my  impressions 
of  the  school  go,  it  has  been  an  enjoyable  year  up  to  now  and  I  can  bet  Graduation  will  not  be  boring.  But  I  do 
have  one  complaint.  Brown  Hall,  yuck!  Big  improvements  there  would  be  welcomed  in  my  books.  Other  than 
that,  S.M.U.  is  alright  and  even  great  sometimes.  Oh  .  .  .  there  is  one  more  thing.  I  hate  "cheese".  That  word 
should  definitely  be  nuked  from  S.M.U, 's  vocabulary.  Well,  Something  new.  My  hobbies  consist  mainly  of  Com- 
puters, scuba  diving  and  reading.  As  far  as  a  future  career  goes,  it  will  probably  be  in  Computer  Engineering. 
That's  about  it.  I  doubt  anyone  would  read  this  far  anyway.  So  I  guess  this  is  it.  later  man  .  .  . 


Robb  Harker 


Robb  is  an  S.M.U,  lifer,  and  hopes  to  be  able  to  carry  on  the  grand  tradition  of  previous  lifers  such  as  Jann  Mar- 
gison  and  John  Quirk.  A  seemingly  innocent  boy,  his  friends  and  teachers  have  discovered  the  real  truth  about 
Robb.  If  you  want  this  truth,  just  ask  his  favorite  admirer,  Mr.  DM.  A  typical  jock.  Robb,  thrilled  S.M.U.  spec- 
tators with  his  dazzling  play  on  the  rugby  field.  When  not  kicked  out  for  his  disagreements  with  the  Refs  calls 
he  captained  the  Colts  C  and  played  for  the  Fourth  XV.  A  multi-talented  person.  Robb  starred  on  the  alto  sax- 
ophone until  Grade  1 1 .  Unfortunately  a  conflict  arose  between  Mr.  M.  and  Robb  about  who  would  run  the  band. 
Tired  of  being  Mr.  M's  sacrificial  lamb  and  out  of  fear  that  he  would  be  "squashed  like  a  bug",  he  ended  his 
musical  career.  Robb  still  holds  the  record  for  the  quickest  suspension,  the  second  day  of  school  in  Grade  9  for 
bullying.  He  blew  pepper  in  Phil  Westoby's  eyes.  Despite  great  efforts  by  T.M.  and  J  P.  the  record  stands  and 
it  appears  that  it  will  last  forever.  Robb  was  born  in  Victoria  and  has  lived  here  all  his  life.  He  is  going  to  U.V.I.C. 
and  will  probably  live  in  Victoria  the  rest  of  his  life. 


Yumiko  Hayashi 


■yumiko  Hayashi  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  9.  from  Nagoya.  Japan.  She  hated  the  alpine  hike  on  the  first  day 
of  the  school  year,  her  memories  of  it  are  filled  with  nightmarish  blue  things  (tarps)  that  supposedly  protected 
them  .  .  .  yeah  right.  Stupidly  she  skipped  the  Grade  10  year  (missed  all  of  the  fun)  When  she  was  in  Grade 
II,  Yumbo  became  one  of  the  neatest  students  in  the  enure  school.  Yumiko's  red  bullet  has  often  been  seen  in 
the  parking  lot  at  Safeway.  However  since  Yumiko  met  K.W.  and  K.Y.  she  started  having  some  attitude  problems, 
such  as  -  well,  they  are  quite  unmentionable!!  She  was  also  very  attracted  to  medium  McFries  and  often  seen 
spending  her  spare  time  at  McDonalds  with  her  friends  for  at  least  two  hours  a  day,  three  times  a  week.  Whether 
she  stays  in  Canada  or  goes  back  to  Japan,  good  luck,  (of  course  we'll  miss  you).  Yumiko.

Carlo  Henley 


Carlo  came  lo  SMU  in  Grade  9  from  way  up  north  in  Courtenay  just  in  time  to  be  among  the  last  group  of  elite 
boarders  able  to  experience  the  luxury  of  life  in  Schtxil  House.  Nightly  dorm  raids  kept  life  interesting  for  the 
boarders  (and  housemasters),  Unfonunateiy.  the  late-night  snoring  of  A.V  made  sleep  a  valuable  commodity. 
Grade  10  saw  Carlo  move  up  one  step  in  the  SMU  boarding  ladder  -  to  Iniernaiional  House.  Carlo  decided  to 
room  with  S  E..  and  all  was  peaceful  until  J.B.  moved  in  -  Nyaahh!  After  one  more  year  in  International  House. 
Carlo  reached  the  pinnacle  of  the  SMU  boardmg  scene  -  Tongue  House.  There,  under  the  watchful  eye  of  the 
big  guy  upstairs,  life  was  easy.  Carlo,  his  roommate  C.R..  and  the  Oriental  Connection  next  door,  had  almost 
as  man>  modern  conveniences  as  J.M.  Three  T,V,'s,  three  computers,  two  video  games  and  two  fridges  made 
sure  that  homework  time  was  at  a  premium.  During  his  career  at  SMU.  Carlo  played  for  the  2nd  XI  soccer  squad 
and  (he  "special  forces"  4lh  XV  rugby  team.  He  hopes  to  head  east  and  attend  the  University  of  Waterloo  to 
study  Engineering.  If  not.  Carlo  may  remain  in  B.C.  to  study  at  the  University  of  British  Columbia,  or  here  m 
his  adopted  hometown  of  Victoria  ai  the  University  of  Victoria. 


Allan  Holdsworth 


Our  reasonably  tame  springbok  marches  to  the  tune  of  his  own  drum  usually  but  becomes  explosively  involved 
on  occasion  when  his  carefully  guarded  energy  levels  are  overlooked.  He  is  determined  to  rule  the  "Hotel  World" 
starting  m  London  and  working  west  ...  He  probably  will!!  A  tennis  player  it  is  alleged. 


Eric  Hotton 


The  Batman  of  Panagopolis.  Known  by  all.  loved  by  none.  Eric  has  graced  SMU  with  his  presence  since  Grade 
five  and  has  had  many  accomplishments.  He  frequently  graced  the  First  XV  rugby  team,  showing  his  tremendous 
skill  and  his  specialty  play  "the  'ol  lemon  meringue".  Also  known  as  "Preek".  he  starred  in  basketball  and  has 
become  a  legend  in  his  own  mind  (luckily).  Eric  has  the  dubious  distinction  of  spending  more  time  personally 
with  B.F.  than  any  other  student  in  SMU  history.  Although  Eric  is  leaving  his  name  will  long  remain  between 
SMU's  walls  (it's  graffitied  in  all  the  washrooms). 


Tanya  Hubbard 


Tanya's  exploits  at  SMU  were  more  than  far  and  few  between.  Arriving  in  Grade  8  on  the  shores  of  SMU  with 
Moira  and  Anne,  this  Norfolk  refugee  found  that  SMU  students  have  parties  that  last  a  lifetime.  Tanya  also  found 
that  she  enjoyed  this  way  of  living  and  decided  to  make  school  a  full  time  social  profession.  Tanya  has  helped 
at  the  Q.A.  and  will  always  devote  time  to  helping  others  Besides  being  a  Prefect  and  a  top  student  academically. 
Tanya  held  up  the  social  side  with  her  "merry  good  cheer"  Always  to  be  found  around  her  4  partners  in  crime 
(who  by  the  way.  had  no  influence  on  her  whatsoever),  this  red-headed  lookalike  never  managed  to  miss  a  social 
event,  even  when  the  event  dragged  her  down  to  Mexico  in  Grade  1 1  or  to  Invermere  in  Grade  12  (not  to  mention 
Kingston).  Tanya  found  a  way  to  put  her  practical  life  on  the  shelf  and  have  a  "wee  bit  of  fun"  (to  say  the  least!). 
Needless  to  say  that  Tanya  fared  well  with  the  linguistics  dept.  at  SMU.  Whether  it  was  French  (Montreal),  or 
Spanish  (Mexico),  and  even  German  (Oktoberfest).  Nobody  has  more  fun  than  Tanya.  Next  year  we  will  see  Tanya 
at  UBC  or  Western  where  she  will  snidy  the  fine  art  of  partying  with  a  little  business  on  the  side.  Whatever  she 
does,  we  wish  her  well.  And  watch  out  for  those  spiders!! 
love  A.Y.,  CM  .  M  W.,  J  P

Ian  Hulme 


The  Inhumane  Hulme  has  been  at  ihe  school  since  Grade  8.  and  has  yet  to  do  up  his  top  button.  His  most  notable 
contributions  to  the  school  were  on  the  sporting  front,  as  he  was  a  member  of  the  Senior  A  basketball  team,  and 
a  somewhat  casual  member  of  the  Second  and  First  rugby  teams,  {'"hey.  I'm  only  here  to  improve  my  vert!"). 
Needless  to  say,  at  6'3"  he  was  one  of  only  two  seniors  able  to  slam  a  basketball.  His  most  noteable  academic 
achievement  was  undoubtably  a  physics  test  where  he  obtamed  the  correct  answer  accurate  to  2  decimal  places 
with  a  formula  even  he  couldn't  explain  afterwards,  (the  horizontal  component  of  the  force  of  gravity?!).  Following 
in  his  brother's  footsteps.  Stretch  has  yet  to  get  a  driver's  license,  and  only  wants  a  car  because  he  can't  carry 
his  windsurfer  on  his  bike.  When  He's  not  on  the  water,  the  court,  the  field,  or  at  the  gym.  he's  watching  T.V. 
("How  can  I  watch  the  Bulls  games  when  I  don't  have  cable?!") 


Jenny  Huston 


Jenny  "'Spinny  Blonde"  Huston  arrived  at  SMU  m  Grade  10  for  her  last  encounter  with  Private  Schools.  After 
escaping  from  Slelly's,  Jenny  was  relieved  to  wear  a  uniform  to  class  and  actually  have  homework  to  do  at  night! 
Even  with  all  the  changes,  Jenny  managed  to  have  enough  extra  time  to  be  a  reliable  member  of  the  debating 
team.  Jenny  has  also  taken  Choral  1 1  and  enjoyed  Art  and  Drama  12,  but  does  not  plan  on  going  professional!! 
For  two  years  in  a  row  she's  been  on  the  2nd  XI  Field  Hockey  team  {well  done.  Jenny!).  This  year,  she's  got 
on  the  Bay  High  School  Council  (winding  up  with  more  than  just  a  job  out  of  it.  too).  Her  fondest  memories 
of  high  school  include  partyin'  with  J.M.  X2.  the  Council,  her  buds  from  the  peninsula,  A.M.  and  M.J..  knee- 
boarding  at  the  lake.  She's  definitely  had  a  busy  Grad  year  dancin'  up  a  storm  and  rappin'  till  all  hours  of  the 
night  with  J.C.  Jenny's  goal  in  life  is  to  build  a  big  house  on  a  certain  spot  of  Mt.  Tolmie  and  own  a  trampoline 
in  the  backyard!  (thanks  for  the  memories  guys!!!),  Jenny's  been  a  great  friend  to  all.  and  her  caring  and  warm 
personality  will  be  missed  next  year  when  she  goes  off  to  university.  We  love  ya  Jen! 


Chris  Hutchinson 


Chris  is  from  Victoria  and  a  second  generation  student  at  the  school.  He  plays  saxophone  and  guitar  and  has  been 
involved  in  the  "Just  Say  No"  club.  Chris  has  made  steady  progress  which  will  enable  him  lo  register  at  UVIC 
in  the  fall. 


Nestor  Iturrioz 


Nestor,  better  known  as  "Nes".  came  to  SMU  in  Grade  12  from  the  country  of  Spain,  Seeing  that  rugby  was 
a  priority  in  the  school.  Nes  took  up  the  sport  for  the  first  time  and  in  a  span  of  three  months,  played  for  both 
the  3rd  and  4lh  XV's.  He  is  an  excellent  soccer  player  (like  most  Spaniards)  and  quickly  established  himself  as 
a  star  on  the  1st  XI.  He  has  a  proficiency  in  languages  and  this  has  greatly  impressed  others.  While  at  SMU. 
Nes  quietly  got  involved  with  a  girl  outside  school,  A.V.,  who  hails  from  Holland.  This  Spanish  stud,  if  not  se- 
rious, is  always  cool,  particularly  with  A.V,  Nes.  the  "IBIZA"  king,  has  fears  of  being  fat  and  does  his  best 
to  keep  in  shape  in  several  ways.  Room  307.  in  which  he  lived  with  K.W.  has  had  many  weird  experiences  which 
shall  not  be  mentioned.  His  presence  in  New  House  was  felt,  and  how  can  we  forget  his  nightly  'disputes'  with 
J.M.  from  the  third  fioor?  If  he's  not  in  school.  Nes  can  be  found  in  bed  or  at  his  desk  writing  letters.  He's  building 
a  reputation  as  the  SMU  letter  king  as  his  mail  has  yet  to  be  surpassed  by  anyone.  Nes  enjoys  skiing  and  had 
a  good  time  at  Christmas  on  his  first  visit  to  Calgary.  Although  an  avid  supporter  at  the  eventful  C.P..  Nes  had 
much  luck,  unlike  J.M..  L.V.M..  and  K.W.  He'll  keep  trying,  however.  Highlights  of  the  year  include  ski  trips, 
the  movies,  the  rats,  and  his  own  version  of  Spanish  boxing.  On  the  serious  side.  Nestor  will  be  going  back  to 
Spain  in  the  summer  but  he  will  be  back  sometime  in  the  future  for  his  M.B.A.  to  pursue  a  career  in  Business. 
Take  care,  pal.

Adam  Jinks 


This  ex-Georges  student  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  twelve  and  adapted  instantly.  Part  of  the  breakfast  club,  week 
night  club  and  numerous  other  organizations.  Adam's  hobbies  are  sleeping,  ptiunding.  and  flying.  He  is  also  on 
the  cycling  team,  road  crew.  Kiss  Me  Kate  and  Stage  Band.  Adam  hopes  to  be  the  39th  drummer  of  Spinal  Tapp 
or  go  to  U.  of  Vic.  if  he  gels  in.  Best  of  luck!  Long  live  Barley.  Jane  Fonda  and  M&M's. 


Nalini  Joneja 


Nalz  came  to  us  from  a  galaxy  far.  far  away.  Chewy  orbited  from  Kamloops  in  Grade  10  in  a  blue  Toyota  4X4 
with  two  feet  suspension  and  flood  lights.  Known  for  her  outrageous  dancmg  style,  shoes  and  earrings,  the  Queen 
of  the  Amazon  swung  from  vine  to  vine  in  order  to  aid  her  fellow  students  and  local  fire  fighters  (remember  Harold 
Street?)  but  her  heart  was  found  in  the  shower.  Her  infamous  ailments  baffled  the  medical  staff  earning  her  the 
reputation  of  an  alien.  At  one  time  she  was  a  member  of  the  S.M.U.  Tennis  Team,  but  due  to  multiple  injuries, 
her  life  was  reduced  to  a  honzontal  state  and  Cixline.  Yet  Nalini  could  not  be  caged  for  long.  Breaking  away 
with  her  hairv'  friend  from  Brown  Hall  (thanks  A.S.  &  R.D.)  she  escaped  to  her  second  home.  F,&S.  with  her 
second  family  (M.L..  CM,.  S.A..  &  M.B.).  ""The  one  with  the  big  hair"  started  out  as  the  killer  housekeef)er 
from  H.E.  double  plunger  and  finished  as  a  timid  (alright  we  lied)  prefect.  "Oh  .  .  .  here  comes  Nolz."  Dunng 
the  first  week  of  arrival  at  St.  Michaels  she  was  shipped  off  on  the  Robertson  accompanied  by  her  crutches,  and 
in  Grade  1 1,  suffered  through  "sweet"  Sayward.  bushwacking  her  way  back  to  civilization.  Now  the  millenium 
falcon  is  most  likely  destined  for  France  for  a  year  and  then  .  .  .  it's  off  to  another  galaxy,  above  and  beyond.

She  quickly  impressed  her  fnends  with  breaking  practically  all  the  rules  .  .  .  every  weekend.  Her  pleading  eyes  and  convincing

to  expel  a  certain  male  out  of  her  mind.  "Guys.  I'm  over  him  now.  really!!  '  Well,  between  devising  the  famous  number  system

finds  It  very  annoying  when  parents  never  fail  to  ask.  "so  what  are  your  plans  for  next  year,  dear'"  Someday  she'll  yell  back  "I 
DON'T  KNOW.  SATISRED'*"  All  her  friends  know  this  girl  is  destined  for  success  no  maner  what  she  does  She's  thinking  of

Jaiyan  Khleubsuwan 


Jaiyan  came  lo  S.MU.  in  1987.  He  got  a  long,  hard-to-spell  and  to  pronounce  last  name.  (Maybe  worse  than 
Arnold  Schwarzenegger.)  He  is  also  known  as  "Nal".  Since  he  came  here  he  is  really  quiet  in  the  school,  how- 
ever, he  smiles  all  the  time  (because  he  comes  from  the  land  of  smiles:  Thailand).  Since  the  beginning  of  the 
school  year,  he  has  never  been  lo  breakfast,  because  he  always  got  up  after  8:00.  He  might  never  skip  a  class, 
but  he  might  have  skipped  chapel  on  Wednesday.  Friday  and  Sunday  .  .  .  (Gee.  what  a  chapel  skipper!)  If  nothing 
goes  wrong,  and  he  just  makes  his  13  credits  in  order  to  graduate  (hopefully),  he  might  go  to  the  University  of 
Michigan  or  the  University  of  Virginia,  or  the  University  of  .  .  .?  It  depends  on  which  university  accepts  him! 


Andrew  Khoo 


Andrew  "Khooster"  Khoo  arrived  in  Grade  10  on  the  back  of  a  koala  bear,  straight  from  Australia.  His  adventure 
up  at  Sayward  forest  will  forever  be  remembered  as  quite  the  joke.  Remember  the  tuna?  He  has  since  then  dis- 
tinguished himself  as  a  photographer,  a  reader  of  a  certain  type  of  literature,  and  generally  an  O.K.  guy.  He  has 
contributed  his  services  to  the  Tennis  Team  with  his  unique  Serve  and  Volley  style.  This  West  Australian  U16 
Chess  Champion  is  also  known  for  his  locker  room  brawls,  where  he  K.O.'d  his  opponents  (P.K..  L.R..  and 
T.B  )  and  is  now  undisputed  locker  room  champ.  He  has  engaged  in  philosophical  discussions  with  certain  pre- 
fects, ranging  from  sublime  to  esoteric.  His  musical  genius  on  the  synthesizer  has  been  played  to  a  crowd  of  800. 
He  will  be  remembered  by  his  friends  as  the  person  who  manages  to  grin  and  laugh  at  the  world.  He  plans  to 
pursue  a  business  career  at  U.V.I.C.  Best  of  luck  to  you  Andrew. 


Peter  Kis-Toth 


The  first  thing  thai  comes  to  mind  when  meeting  Pete  is:  "What  is  he  still  doing  here'^!?"  Well,  no-one  really  knous,  but  somehow 
Pete  has  managed  to  survive  12  long  years  at  S.MU  (making  him  one  of  that  rare  breed  of  fools  -  the  Lifers),  and  now  he  finally 
even  sees  graduation  as  a  possibility  However,  if  one  were  to  graph  Cheesy's  Post  Secondary  educational  goals,  it  would  go  some- 
thing like  this:  Grade  9  -  Scholarship  to  Waterloo  Engineering.  Grade  10  -  Waterloo  Engineermg.  Grade  1 1  -  Scholarship  to  UB.C. 
Engineenng.  Beginning  of  Grade  12  -  U.V.I.C,  Engineering.  Xmas  Grade  12  -  U  V.l.C.  General  Studies.  Mid  Year  Grade  12  -"Nothing 
wrong  with  Camosun'",  End  of  Grade  12  -  "HELP!  Not  surprisingly.  Queso  has  always  cared  deeply  about  his  studies  (2/50  in 
Calculus'),  especially  after  he  got  his  MG  Convertible  (Hey  Guys,  it's  sunny,  let's  hit  the  beach!}  Despite  the  fact  that  he  crashed 
It,  the  second  day  after  buying  it.  Pete  has  tried  to  take  care  of  his  beloved  (my  car  is  RAD!!)  little  snotmobile.  Pete  is  a  distinguished 
member  of  the  O  Donalds  Coffee  Club  (where  he  spent  most  of  Comp  12).  and  also  a  despised  traitor  to  the  Chiefs.  In  addition 
to  his  great  academic  success,  (barely  passing  Spanish  1 1).  Kisser  has  always  been  an  athlete  His  size  and  strength  have  seen  him 
through  UI4  A.  U15  A.  Colts  A.  and  two  seasons  with  the  1st  XV  at  school.  He  has  also  played  three  seasons  with  the  Oak  Bay 
Wanderers,  two  seasons  with  the  ISA.  Selects  and  two  seasons  with  the  Jr.  Tide  as  a  powerhouse  front  row  (Prop  Dt'UUH!!). 
Pete  has  also  tned  his  hand  at  baseball  (Hey  Brent,  is  that  true  about  his  two  hit  season^*),  basketball  (Pine  Shiner  for  the  Filler 
"B'"s),  soccer  and  cricket  (whadya  mean  I  don't  get  a  glove?)  with  some  success.  Despite  his  Spanish  mark.  Pete  went  on  the  Mexico 
Trip  (to  enhance  his  understanding  of  other  cultures).  He  even  learned  a  few  new  words  such  as  Corona  and  Mezcal).  and  made 
a  new  friend  called  Jose  Cuervo,  Pete  also  went  on  the  1986  Rugby  Tour  to  England,  and  was  invited  this  year,  but  had  to  pull 
out  because  of  injuries  (whimp'l)  Well,  perhaps  we'll  see  the  goulash  man  gracing  the  halls  of  U  V  I  C.  next  year  (Huh.  yeah  - 
right!),  but  then  again,  maybe  not,  Whatever  you  do.  good  luck  and  in  the  immortal  words  of  Mrs,  Kistoth:  "Peter,  you  were  great, 
but  there  is  one  thing  I  must  say  to  you.  where  is  your  mouthguard'!'" 


Adrian  Kwong 


This  grad  is  different,  in  fact,  he  out  of  his  own  will  decided  to  attend  S.MU.  for  his  first  and  final  year.  Jumping 
into  the  deep  end  is  not  his  bowl  of  soup,  but  because  of  his  eccentricity  decided  to  do  so  anyway.  Probably  the 
best  time  he's  had  ever  in  the  past  eighteen  years  of  his  life  has  been  passed  down  the  tubes.  He's  got  not  much 
of  a  prospect  of  life  but  to  fix  stereos  and  thrash  computers  until  the  electron  run  away  because  they're  afraid 
another  surge  of  power  is  going  to  hit  them  Of  all  the  cars  and  expensive  cars,  this  individual  would  like,  il 
is  not  a  spons  car,  but  a  4  by  4  truck.  And  as  he  buffs  it  ".  .  .  it's  got  to  have  BIG  wheels  .  .  .".  In  fact  this 
semi-human  life-form  wishes  to  have  all  of  his  known  acquaintances  and  friends  a  great  life  and  wishes  to  project 
the  following  quote  to  all  the  aforementioned  "KWONGER  DUUUDE!  is  ready  to  the  world  and  possibly  the 
universe  if  only  I  could  find  a  spaceship  .  .  ."  Great  thanks  to  GRAD  90  S.M.U.!  M.L.,  J.G.,  A.M.,  D.S.,

Nate  Lampard 


After  having  been  deported  from  the  U.S..  Nathan.  Carter,  Lampard  arrived  in  S.M.U.  in  Grade  10  as  a  quiet. 
reserved  powerlifter.  His  football  skills  were  soon  transferred  to  rugby  prowess,  as  he  made  the  Colts  "A"  and 
I.S.A  Selects  in  his  first  year  of  Rugby.  It  was  not  until  the  Senior  Rugby  Tour  lo  Japan  that  Nate  truly  came 
out  of  his  shell,  and  thus  the  Bald  Eagle  was  bom.  Misted  by  a  short  Japanese  boy,  Nate's  apple  pie  and  milk 
soon  turned  to  Backbacon  and  .  .  .  Continuing  his  downward  spiral,  Nate  moved  in  with  the  U.T.C.,  condemning 
himself  to  a  life  of  crime  and  vice.  In  Grade  1 1  Nate  was  a  star  on  the  I  si  XV  new  grace  and  style.  By  Grade 
12  Nate  was  grudgingly  respected  by  even  his  Shawnigan  opponents  sporting,  their  "I  hate  Nate"  bodysuits.  As 
a  protest.  Nate  decided  to  exercise  his  civil  right  not  to  play  and  boycotted  the  last  two  1st  XV  games.  His  athletic 
abilities  were  not  limited  to  the  field  and  Nate  could  be  seen  shtwting  "treys'"  galore  for  the  BLUE  DEVILS. 
In  class,  Nate  showed  a  strong  aptitude  for  the  social  sciences  and  was  known  for  zealously  debating  any  issue 
with  Mr.  Mclnt)  re.  As  a  true  ladies  man,  Nate  was  always  flanked  by  hoards  of  female  admirers.  Like  a  salmon 
returning  to  its  birthplace  to  spawn.  Nate  plans  to  attend  Stanford  next  year  and  live  up  to  the  name.  Captain 
America.  Member  forever.  U.T.C. 


Graeme  Leeming 


Graeme  got  into  this  school  way  back  in  grade  5.  He's  managed  lo  uncannily  excel  in  pretty  well  even,  subject 
jnd  competition.  Alongside  his  academic  achievements,  Graeme  has  many  musical  talents.  He'll  probably  be  known 
lOT  his  hip  bass  playing  in  the  Stage  Band.  Graeme  has  also  excelled  in  sports.  Hee  hee,  do  you  remember  the 
Colls  rugby  game  in  the  snow  back  in  grade  8"^  Graeme  has  managed  to  become  a  member  of  various  soccer 
dnd  rugby  teams.  Graeme's  saying,  "Do  whatever  you  wanll."  will  be  remembered  by  all  advice  seekers.  His 
brief  little  escapade  with  C.R.  will  never  be  forgotten.  Graeme  will  also  be  known  as  one  of  Brian's  more  self- 
controlled  prefects.  Graeme  plans  to  study  science  at  a  Canadian  university.  Best  of  luck  to  you! 


Anne  Linder 


Annie  migrated  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  8  after  7  years  at  Norfolk  House.  It  was  in  the  first  week  at  Camp  Thunderbird 
thai  she  first  set  eyes  on  R.F.  Other  commitments  for  Annie  included  the  sporting  achievements  of  being  a  member 
of  Miss  Keziere's  cross  country  and  track  team,  if  for  nothing  else  to  impress  Mr.  Faulkner.  (Did  it  work?.  I 
guess  we'll  never  know.)  But  whether  in  a  bathroom  chat  with  S.E.  or  on  a  mission  in  Shawnigan,  Annie  can 
usually  be  found  with  her  other  half  J, P.  up  to  something  (no  good?!!)  Annie's  off  to  Germany  in  the  summer 
to  work  and  wherever  that  may  take  her.  before  reluming  home  to  attend  either  U.V.I.C.  or  U.B.C.  in  "91.  And 
who  knows  in  10  years,  maybe  Annie  will  be  an  Ambulance  driver  or  Helicopter  paramedic.  One  thing  for  sure, 
she  won't  be  a  professional  dishwasher  for  the  rest  of  her  life. 
Just  remember  Annie,  wherever  you  go.  we'll  always  be  looking  at  the  same  stars. 


Brad  Lloyd 


Brad  Lloyd  seemed  to  sail  into  S.M.U.  on  the  Spirit  of  Chemainus  in  grade  10.  Life  has  never  been  the  same. 
Brad  quickly  became  known  for  his  good  advice  and  voracious  appetite.  A  stawart  graduate  of  the  Colls  "C" 
team,  who  answers  to  ihe  call  of  "Beach.  Baby.  Bingo"  Brad  eventually  went  on  to  play  for  the  3rd  XV  and 
spare  for  both  the  1st  and  2nd  XV's.  A  guy  who  rides  his  bike  every  day  to  school  every  day  (except  when  it 
rains  hard!)  he  is  an  adventurer  and  lives  in  the  outdoors  or  scuba  dives  almost  every  weekend.  Perhaps  some 
of  his  fondest  memories  come  from  the  "high"  experiences  in  Squamish  on  the  Chieftain,  late  night  parties  with 
the  Tongue  house  club,  and  the  Banana.  Brad's  ambition  is  lo  eventually  become  a  civil  or  mechanical  engineer 
and  lo  continue  to  expand  on  his  worldly  experiences.

Richard  Lockwood 


Richard  "Roosler"  Michael  Lockwood  came  lo  S.M.U.  five  years  ago  in  Grade  8  as  a  boarder.  His  first  three 
years  at  S.M.U.  he  was  awarded  the  B.C.T.V.  Scholarship  and  turned  it  down  in  grades  1 1  and  12  because  he 
disliked  the  publicity  he  was  given  by  it.  Early  in  Grade  8,  Richard  learned  the  value  of  money.  He  would  spend 
S4  a  week  and  put  the  rest  of  his  $9  in  the  house  bank.  Richard  hails  from  the  metropolis  of  Armstrong.  B.C. 
"the  cheese  capital  of  the  world".  As  Grade  9  rolled  along,  Rooster  found  out  just  how  much  sandy  beaches 
(Willows)  really  are.  Although  Rooster  was  quiet  he  found  time  to  mingle  with  C.R..  J. P..  A.R..  N.B.  Though 
Richard  highly  disliked  McDonalds,  there  were  the  txld  limes  he  appreciated  the  fine  french  cuisine,  maybe  an 
art  lecture,  and  finally  a  play  or  two  and  he  did  enjoy  the  illustrious  choir  classes  with  Miss  Thompson.  There 
was  the  short  but  sweet  trip  to  Mexico.  Uno  negro  medela  por  favor!  Richard  showed  his  athletic  talent  by  making 
the  First  XV  Rugby  team,  later  to  proceed  onto  making  the  Junior  Crimson  Tide  and  finally  the  Island  Rugby 
Team  selects.  The  only  thing  which  concerned  people  about  Richard  was  his  growing  a  beard?  M.G. 


Mark  Longridge 


Mark  arrived  at  S.M.U.  in  1983  fresh  from  the  booming  metropolis  of  South  Ascot,  England,  and  after  the  shock 
subsided,  settled  in  quite  nicely.  Amazingly  enough  Mark  is  one  of  only  five  that  stuck  with  boarding  for  all  seven 
years,  and  over  this  time  he  has  contributed  in  his  own  distinctive  way  to  school  life  in  general.  Mark  has  competed 
in  many  math  contests  and  the  like,  with  pleasing  results.  Unfortunately  however,  unlike  some  of  the  artophobes 
in  his  classes.  Mark  has  had  a  strange  need  for  sunlight,  and  as  such  has  had  to  sacrifice  some  of  his  precious 
study  time  lo  pursue  other  activities.  Forced  to  quit  Rugby  due  to  poor  knees  and  a  healthy  brain,  Mark  looked 
for  a  more  civilized  sport,  and  took  up  cycling,  which  soon  became  more  than  a  passion,  Mark's  other  addiction 
at  school  has  been  his  ART.  Spending  many  a  long  night  in  the  art  room,  he  managed  to  spew  out  numerous 
creations,  including  a  large  collection  of  hands,  a  huge  $100  bill,  and  the  grad  clothing.  Mark  has  also  been  in- 
volved with  numerous  Grad  activities,  being  a  member  of  the  distinctive  New.  new.  revised,  improved,  yes  I 
think  we've  finally  got  it  right,  Grad  Committee.  Mark  had  the  distinction  of  being  the  man  to  bring  Grad  Paintball 
to  St.  Michaels,  and  also  of  receiving  the  most  head  shots  in  this  sport.  As  for  the  future.  Mark  plans  to  take 
Architecture  or  Engineering  at  Berkeley.  U.B.C-,  or  U  of  W  in  his  hometown.  Seattle.  Failing  this.  Mark  will 
most  likely  buy  an  Island  in  the  South  Pacific,  hire  a  midget,  and  cater  to  the  needs  of  desperate  mid-life  crisis 
victims.  Success  in  all  you  do  Mark,  see  you  in  the  real  world. 


Maia  Love 


Our  ballet  dancer  from  Kamloops  joined  S.M.U.  in  grade  II.  Maia  roomed  with  CM.  in  the  famous  30b.  known 
for  its  lemon  loaf  destructions,  dancing  sessions  with  CM,  and  N.J,,  power  cleaning  (unwanted  grass  and  dirt 
from  field  hockey  practices  was  removed)  claustrophobic  decorations,  and  Christmas  party.  She  spent  common 
room  evenings  with  H.A.  and  A.B,  pigging  out  on  late  night  pizza.  Although  shaken  by  S.M.U.  tutorial  life, 
grade  1 1  school  was  relaxing  in  Physics  and  definitely  enjoyable  work  in  Geography  (with  the  sexiest  man  on 
earth)  despite  negative  vibes.  After  a  brief  romantic  interlude  with  A.H  and  his  socks  at  Midnight  Oil,  G.R. 
and  others  made  her  so  high  we  had  to  peel  her  off  the  ceiling.  In  Mexico,  her  extended  birthday  celebration 
included  dancing  at  the  News,  a  trip  to  the  Mexico  City  Museum,  and  2:30  swims  with  A.B.  and  E.N.  The  Say- 
ward  Outdoors  trip  taught  her  to  appreciate  gorp.  dry  sleeping  bags,  and  the  fact  that  Dave,  the  map-destniclive 
counsellor,  would  rather  kill  Ronald  McDonald  than  Adolf  Hitler.  Her  move  lo  first  floor  in  grade  12  led  to  a 
cleaner  room  and  a  trippy  ceiling.  For  fine  food  she  journeyed  to  Tommy  Tucker's  and  Fogg  and  Sudds  with 
MB,,  CM.,  N-J,.  and  S.A,  (water  wasn't  enough)  On  the  grade  ski  trip,  Maia  discovered  that  senility  can  occur 
at  an  early  age  after  evenings  playing  the  awesome  dart  game  with  B,B..  cleaning  Zeppo's  kitchen,  and  then  having 
to  deal  with  complicated  chairlifts.  This  redhead  will  leave  S.M.U.  to  go  to  Western  and  let  them  also  experience 
her  sweet  and  innocent,  never  sarcastic,  personality. 


Danny  Ma 


h  is  impossible  to  overlook  this  fine  young  man  He  is  so  BIG  He  has  a  body  frame  of  an  offensive  lackle  bul  Ihe  lendemess  of 
a  soft  teddy  bear.  His  name  is  Danny,  This  300-pounder  •  well  almost  -  came  to  this  school  in  grade  10.  and  has  gone  through  a 
most  inlercsnng  3  year  period.  As  a  250  lbs  heavyweight  in  grade  10.  he  was  at  firsl  recruited  as  a  fine  prospwci  for  the  2nd  XV 
as  a  prop,  but  due  to  his  asthma  and  toe  injur>,  he  was  dropped  to  Colts  C  and  4th  XV  He  was  forced  to  drop  rugby  m  grade 
\  1  and  took  up  a  more  or  less  physical  sport,  badminton!  A  sport  he  had  only  started  in  grade  lOdurmg  the  "off-season  "  He  quickly 
developed  to  be  an  important  part  of  the  B-team  in  grade  1 1.  Unfortunately,  a  knee  injury  dunng  the  Chnstmas  holidays  sidelined 
this  hardworker  to  be  the  sixth  man  on  the  A-team  in  grade  12  instead  of  a  sure  staner  with  K  W  in  grade  1 1  as  the  A-doubles 
team.  In  academics,  he  had  a  little  trouble  in  his  grade  10  year,  but  soon  recovered  in  grade  II  and  his  grade  12  year,  averaged 
a  low  B  throughout  his  courses.  His  favourite  class  is  Algebra  12  with  Mr,  Greenwell  because  of  gtxxl  grades  and  funny  (ha!  ha! 
ha!)  basketball  jokes  His  worst  class  though,  is  Calculus  12  with  Mr,  Laidlaw,  not  because  he  was  a  bad  teacher,  but  because  of 
all  the  theories  and  laws  that  just  won't  get  into  his  brain.  His  favourite  pastimes  were  ordering  pizzas  for  Domino's  and  dishing 
out  devastating  bed-crushers,  Danny  was  also  chosen  as  a  prefect  of  International  House  and  really  cleaned  up  the  act  on  3rd  floor! 
As  part  of  his  extra  curriculum,  he  played  the  baritone  and  was  a  member  of  the  stage,  concert,  and  jazz  bands,  and  he  also  went 
on  the  tour  to  Barbados  last  Spring  Break.  The  best  part  of  Danny's  school  life  was  trashing  Mr,  P  G  with  K  W  Unfortunately, 
due  to  a  knee  injury,  he  could  only  "edge"  him  by  an  average  score  of  1 5- 1.  This  teddy  bear  ("Excusez-Ma")  will  surely  be  missed 
and  all  the  best  to  him  from  his  friends  in  post- graduation  studies  at  either  Western  or  Carlton  University.

Jason  Mabee 


Jason  Mabee.  a.k.a.  "the  Sive"  and  "Jammin*  J"  as  he  is  affectionately  known,  arrived  at  S.M.U.  in  grade  10 
from  the  big  city  of  Vancouver.  A  stylish  dresser,  he  found  boarding  life  difficult  to  cope  with,  living  with  M.P. 
wasn't  helping  matters.  Perhaps  he  was  best  known  for  his  musical  tastes  and  his  sometimes  short  tetnper  when 
anyone  put  down  Bobby.  Jason  was  never  much  of  an  athlete,  in  fact,  he  cancelled  his  subscription  to  S.I.  after 
only  a  couple  months.  He  did  manage  to  play  a  single  rugby  season  for  the  infamous  4th  XV.  well  part  of  a  season 
at  least.  He  was  also  the  star  goalie  for  the  league  leading  "Sultan's",  taking  them  all  the  way  to  the  Manley 
Cup.  Occasionally  he  could  be  seen  going  for  a  short  run  over  Mt.  Tolmie.  alone  of  course.  Jason  was  known 
for  such  quotes  as.  "I'm  not  cheezy!".  "I  didn't  touch  her.  I  swear!",  or  "Hey  choy  boy!!"  But  when  he's 
not  down  at  Domino's  managing  pizza  with  D.S,  and  M.C.,  he's  probably  downtown  bustin"  the  move  with  T.M. 
lo  the  wee  hours  of  the  mornmg.  Jason  hopes  to  go  to  either  Western  or  U.B.C.  next  year  and  hopefully  major 
in  business.  Good  luck  Jason  and  thanks  for  the  memories! 


Kristin  Mackenzie 


Kristin,  no  NOT  Kersten.  is  a  cool  enough  Gordon  Head  banger  that  came  to  S.M.U.  as  a  refugee  of  the  public 
school  system  at  gr.  9.  Her  impact  on  the  school  was  evident  from  the  start,  as  in  her  first  year,  she  received 
the  Chapman  Cup  for  gr.  9  overall  achievement,  although  she  never  quite  made  it  to  Speech  Day  long  enough 
to  pick  it  up.  Kris'  athletic  achievements  include  such  feats  as  field  hockey,  track  &  field,  rec  cycling,  and  almost 
rec  swimming  {and  you  call  yourself  a  lifeguard  Kris'?)  Over  her  years  at  S.M.U.  Kristin  has  earned  the  respect?! 
>r  at  least  the  recognition  as  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  socialites  ever  to  hit  S.M.U.  (after  Tanya's  she  never 
looked  back)  However,  in  spite  of  all  Kristin's  extracurricular  activities  she  did  manage  to  find  the  time  to  attend 
class  (at  least  some  of  the  time)  and  between  rock  concerts,  weekends,  or  one  of  her  15  spares  a  week.  Kristm 
could  be  found  pouring  over  Coleridge  with  Grenfell  or  debating  the  causes  of  W.W. II  with  Mr.  Mclntyre.  (watch 
out  for  those  chairs  Kris,  they  seem  to  have  a  habit  of  falling  over  on  ya.)  Next  year  Kristin  will  be  hopping 
over  to  Europe  to  work?!!  (is  that  the  right  word?)  before  going  on  to  university  the  following  year  (Harvard, 
'i  dle'^?)  But  if  you  want  to  look  her  up  in  10  years  just  look  for  a  VW  van  wizzing  down  to  Mexico  with  her 
little  black  baby,  that  she  adopted  while  workmg  for  World  Vision  in  Africa,  in  tow.  Well  Kris,  just  remember 
"you  shook  me  all  night  long"  and  "Viva  El  Mexico"  All-Ways!!! 


Donald  Maclean 


Donald  MacLean  (our  beloved  ESU) 

This  man  from  Edinburgh  came  over  to  S.M.U.  and  drew  and  drew.  Besides  that  he  didn't  have  to  go  to  school 
yet  he  still  made  his  commitment  in  running  and  the  choir.  His  hobbies  included  comics,  drawing  comics,  and 
reading  comics.  One  of  Donald's  more  famous  comments  were  "Let's  go  to  Sev's"  and  "Come  on,  it's  not  too 
late."  Next  year  Don  plans  to  return  to  Europe  to  go  to  St.  Andrews  University  somewhere  just"  a  wee  bi'  north 
o'  Edinburgh  and  a  wee  bi'  south  o'  Dundee.  Best  o'  luck! 


Christy  Madson 


Christy  migrated  from  the  beautiful  snow  covered  land  of  real  mountains  to  the  godforsaken  island  from  H-E- 
Double  toothpicks  in  Grade  eleven,  the  wonderful  world  of  SMU.  The  year  was  dabbled  with  volleyball  practises, 
four  months  of  mental  assassination,  whirlwind  recess  room-cleaning.  306  Christmas  parties,  the  traditional  week- 
end "shopping"  trips.  West  Coast  Trail  refreshments  and  morning  treks  up  ski  hills  with  Jeff  and  Chris.  Grade 
twelve  began  with  a  bigger  room,  and  even  a  stove  to  make  her  favorite.  KD  and  a  few  batches  of  cookies,  as 
well  as  some  interesting  words  ("In  Confidence?!?!")  that  accompany  the  experience  of  Head  of  House.  Next 
year  hopefully  off  to  Western.  Ryerson,  or  the  University  of  Calgary  to  study  business  or  tourism.  Cheers  Maddy 
here's  to  0,J,  (thanx  T.H,  and  A.Y.)  never  being  obnoxious  and  always  walking  slowly  without  a  killer  glare!

Julian  Manyoni 


"Yeeeaaahhh  Boiieee'  Ha!  Ha!"  In  gr  9  Julian  became  one  of  (he  select  few  lo  make  the  arduous  trek  from  Glenlyon  lo  S.M.U/s 
hallowed  hall  He  did  so  bringing  with  him  his  headbanger  music,  a  serious  attitude  problem  (B  A)  and  the  proud  symbol  of  his 
heritage  -  the  Fro!  That  year  was  a  quiet  one  for  Jules,  the  monotony  only  broken  by  his  beatings  on  Phil  Westoby.  Pete  Sharpe, 
and  Claude  McKenzie  In  grade  10  the  hair  grew  and  the  Pilsbury  Fro  Boy  emerged  His  aitimde  mellowed  and  he  began  to  assert 
himself  on  the  party  scene,  developing  for  Eastern  Eurof>ean  soft  drinks  ("Honest  guys,  its  water!")  Jules  is  the  strong  silent  type 
who  could  never  hurt  a  fly,  and  is  a  proud  member  of  the  Black  Men  Who  Help  Old  Ladies  Across  The  Street  For  A  Price  Association, 
Most  of  his  in-school  lime  was  spent  sleeping  through  IHL's  history  (while  maintaining  his  A  average)  and  finding  ways  to  avoid 
Mrs.  MacLeish's  math  class  with  Mike  Bendickson  In  grade  1 1  Jules  almost  disappeared  Burned  out  from  gr,  10  he  retired  the 
green  bag  and  receded  to  his  hole  m  the  changing  room.  C'Nah',  I'm  not  depressed  -  Vm  mellow!")  Julian  came  out  again  m  grade 
12  and  re-opened  the  green  bag    His  role  in  the  musical  gave  him  a  bit  of  a  reputation  as  a  cheese  monster,  but  that's  life! 

Jules  has  also  contributed  to  sports  at  S-M,U,  He  took  an  instant  liking  to  rugby  (you  mean  you're  supposed  to  hit  people?  AL- 
RIGHT'"! and  played  for  UI5A,  Colts  B.  Colls  A.  and  was  proud  of  being  the  meanest  player  on  ihe  3rd  XV  ("Hey.  I'm  not  cheap!") 
He  also  played  for  the  1st  XI  cricket,  Colts  A  soccer  and  was  one  of  the  more  vicious  CHIEFS-  Julian  plans  to  attend  Carlelon 
next  year  (if  his  car  will  get  him  there!)  with  the  idea  of  playing  pro-football  (Houston  Oilers  RULE!)  stuck  firmly  in  the  back  of 
his  little  mind!  During  the  day.  Jules  can  be  found  at  the  Hut,  eating  pizza,  listening  lo  Public  Enemy  and  wondering  why  he  can't 
be  like  Ravour  Flav,  Batman  -  "clear  the  way  for  the  prophets  of  rage.  Power  of  the  People  Say!" 


Thor  Margison 


Thor  slaned  ai  S.M.U.  as  a  cheerful  grade  1.  following  ihe  proud  Margison  tradition  begun  by  his  older  brother. 
Jann.  Thor's  career  as  a  S.M.U.  lifer  culminated  this  year  when  it  was  rumored  that  he  was  a  close  second  for 
School  Captain  Scholar.  All  were  surprised  when  Thor  wasn't  made  a  prefect,  but  he  made  contributions  in  other 
ways,  especially  as  a  valued  1st  &  2nd  XV  Flanker,  Although  most  see  Thor  as  a  responsible  "nice"  guy.  few 
know  that  he  was  once  a  member  of  the  infamous  Mission  Boys,  and  he  certainly  was  a  major  help  in  making 
this  year's  Chinese  New  Year's  Dinner  a  memorable  one,  Thor  was  also  one  of  the  Blue  Devils,  a  rogue  group 
of  supporters  who.  with  their  painted  faces  and  garbage  can  lids,  struck  fear  into  the  hearts  of  opposing  teams. 
As  well  as  being  involved  in  sports  and  other  similar  activities.  Thor  is  an  "all-rounder."  and  made  his  presence 
felt  in  arts,  crafts,  and  music.  He  wants  to  keep  his  dream  alive  of  playing  the  trombone  with  Robb  Marker  and 
Sticks  McKay  in  a  bar  in  the  Caribbean,  but  if  that  fails  he  could  always  fall  back  as  a  Conan  artist.  When  Thor 
isn't  in  school  (studying,  of  course)  he  can  be  found  out  at  Thetis  Lake  cliff-diving  or  roaming  the  streets  with 
Robb  and  Brent  in  his  van.  Next  year  Thor  is  planning  to  carry  on  the  proud  Margison  tradition  and  go  to  U.V.I-C. 
where  he  will  major  in  the  art  of  brewing.  One  of  four  lifers  left.  S.M.U.  will  be  very  sad  to  see  Thor  go  and 
make  his  way  in  the  world. 


Jeff  Marin 


Jeff  "Bones"  Marin  came  to  this  fine  establishment  in  Oct.  '86.  to  join  his  panner  in  ciime  M.VC.  He  slaned 
off  by  impressing  us  with  the  testicle  haircut  which  portrayed  his  big  .  .  .  forehead.  The  chicks  fell  for  his  manly 
but  skinny  legs  and  his  Banffite  wit.  He  has  been  an  avid  and  valuable  Colts  C  and  4lh  XV  player,  until  his  knee 
exploded  while  fiercely  ploughing  through  the  entire  Si.  Georges  forward  pack.  Jeffs  highlights  during  the  S.M.U. 
years  include:  the  building  of  Mann  House,  the  100  Power  Woof  Club,  Kodiak  in  the  Computers  lab.  Sultans 
of  Cheez,  road  hockey,  killer  B's  basketball,  and  the  57th  time  he  has  said,  "This  is  the  last  one."  Jeff  is  also 
blessed  with  many  talents  like  picking  fights  with  people  twice  his  size  when  in  the  right  frame  of  mind.  He  is 
also  a  master  at  Foyer  F-ing  and  doing  the  Blood  Hound  Shuffle  in  Wenman  with  A.S.  Jeff  plans  to  go  to  Western 
to  pursue  a  career  in  business.  Good  Luck  Jeff.  We  Love  You!  P.S.  Mickey  a  Goofy  rule,  hey  guys! 


Scott  Marks 


Scott  Marks,  a.k.a.  "Denzil",  came  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  10,  from  boonie  land  (Saanichton).  In  grade  10  we  saw 
the  studious  Denz,  but  in  grade  1 1  we  saw  the  beast  unleashed  He  took  to  another  form  of  consumption  other 
than  "Bonanza"  and  the  Hut.  He  took  to  taking  short  naps  at  parties  during  which  people  wrote  on  his  face.  He 
displayed  his  vast  athletic  capacity  as  a  member  of  the  Colls  C's  (remember  Beach  •  Baby  -  Bingo)  and  captain 
of  the  4th  XV.  He  graced  the  slopes  of  Whistler  on  the  Grad  Ski  Trip  (How  do  you  stop'')  His  fondest  memories 
are  of  Mexico  '89  (Cerveza,  amigo.)  Other  notable  mentions  go  to  rec  softball.  Sultans  of  Cheese  hockey  team, 
and  Garibaldi  (hey,  hiking  boots  do  melt.)  His  partners  in  crime  were:  Margison,  Bundon,  Harker,  Yardley,  Ma- 
bee,  Nojima,  Lockwood,  Bendickson,  Van  Camp,  Combos,  Crape.  Guernsey,  Marin.  Von  Maldeghan,  and  Ma-

Jim  Martin 


Jim  Martin  came  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  seven.  He  has  been  in  the  boarding  house  for  six  years  and  comes  from 
Langley.  B.C.  He  is  an  excellent  student  in  math  and  sciences  and  has  received  a  numerous  amount  of  prizes 
from  contests  in  these  areas.  His  hobbies  includes  scuba  diving,  video  making,  and  flying  remote  control  airplanes. 
He  has  not  made  any  fmal  decisions  as  to  where  or  what  he  wants  to  do,  but  he  will  probably  go  to  the  Mas- 
sachusetts Institute  of  Technology  and  take  up  Chemical  Engineering. 


Takuji  Masuda 


Takuji  Masuda  entered  SMU  in  Gr.  6,  from  Kamakura,  Japan,  without  a  word  of  English  in  his  vocabulary.  Over 
the  years.  Takuji  has  mastered  the  English  language,  yet  he  still  uses  as  few  words  as  possible  to  make  a  point. 
While  attending  the  Junior  School,  he  was  infamous  as  a  border  in  Harvey  House,  until  he  left  to  board  at  the 
Penaluna's.  where  he  settled  down  somewhat,  for  obvious  reasons.  Mrs.  Thatcher  was  the  next  to  be  burdened 
as  Taku  moved  m.  and  in  Gr.  10.  he  moved  into  his  own  house.  Always  one  to  live  life  in  the  fast  lane,  his  new 
freedom  led  him  to  adopt  a  more  rebellious  lifestyle.  As  event-Coordinator  of  the  Grad  Committee.  Takuji  has 
set  a  precedent  for  school  dances,  and  has  raised  thousands  almost  single-handedly.  A  remarkable  athlete.  Takuji 
has  played  soccer  for  the  1st  and  2nd  XI.  but  unfortunately,  his  illustrious  rugby  career  was  tragically  cut  short 
by  a  near-fatal  neck  injury  while  on  the  rugby  tour  to  his  homeland.  Since  his  close  brush  with  death.  Takuji 
has  turned  his  attention  to  his  studies,  among  other  things.  His  academic  prowess  has  gained  him  acceptance  at 
universities  including  Harvard,  M.I.T..  and  Stanford.  But  he  will  turn  these  down  to  attend  Pepperdine  U.  in 
Malibu,  California  to  study  surfing. 
Member  forever.

Julie  McCracken 


Julie  "Wild  Thing"'  McCracken  came  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  9  from  Oak  Bay,  bringing  her  outstanding  musical 
and  dramatic  talents.  She  has  been  involved  in  all  four  musicals  at  S.M.U..  and  has  held  lead  parts  in  three.  Julie 
has  received  numerous  academic  awards  since  her  arrival,  and  continues  with  steady  effort.  Despite  her  "good 
girl"  facade.  Jules  is  known  for  her  tremendous  energy  and  ability  to  party.  She  can  be  recognized  by  her  dis- 
tinctive laugh  and  can  be  found  most  of  the  time  booting  around  in  her  "blue  Wolwo"  wagon.  Julie  really  lived 
It  up  on  the  Grad  Ski  Trip,  where  she  realized  she  should  consider  a  professional  career  in  boxing,  (just  kidding 
Sugar  Ray!)  She  will  always  be  remembered  for  hosting  the  infamous  "Girls'  Nites"  which  always  had  unexpected 
guests.  Julie  hopes  to  go  to  U.V.I.C.  next  year  although  her  soul  ambition  is  to  be  a  housewife  and  a  mother. 
I  guess  you  kinda  need  the  basic  training,  huh  Jules!  Julie's  cheerful  smile  and  super  personality  will  never  be 
forgotten  by  her  friends  at  S.M.U.  We  all  wish  you  the  very  best  of  luck,  and  our  hearts  are  always  with  you. 
We  love  ya  lots  Jules  -  Aloha! 


Julie  McLay 


Mon  petit  Raoul,  is  a  vulnerable  member  of  the  Captain  Kangaroo  Club  and  will  always  be  a  secret  admirer  of 
Ed  Alabass.  Her  vast  Knowledge  of  astronomy  is  enough  to  make  anyone  a  smidge  boastful  and  her  mastery  of 
handling  orange  mousse  is  good  enough  to  put  her  in  the  Hall  of  Mirrors.  Pink  motels,  red  &  gold  velvet  wall 
paper  and  the  quest  for  keychains.  as  well  as  smoooth  S.M's  at  a  certain  sushi  village  will  remam  a  part  of  us 
forever.  Jules  has  a  knack  for  kicking  around  a  certain  boots  in  the  snow  as  well  as  playing  songs  (R-E-D  spells 
.  .  .)  other  talents  have  included  playing  "sweeper"  on  the  1st  XI  Hockey  team,  tennis,  volleyball,  track  and 
field,  and  captaining  the  B-ball  team.  This  bubbly  little  chanerbox  tamed  herself  in  gr  10.  to  win  the  "Most  Im- 
proved Student  Award"  and  proves  she  was  "all  that  she  could  be"  when  she  "joined  the  army."  (Attention!) 
If  Julie  can't  be  found  on  the  fields  or  talking  in  the  quad,  she  can  most  likely  be  found  whizzing  around  in  her 
red  Prelude.  Julie's  fondest  memories  are  numerous  and  unmentionable.  But  I'm  sure  that  they  include  "stirring 
the  pot"  whatever  they  are!!  Julie  is  not  sure  what  her  plans  are  for  the  future  but  she  will  probably  be  found 
in  a  university  back  east  or  on  a  quest  to  Jairmiu  (where  her  braids  intact  were  almost  as  funny  as  the  "effects." 
hairspray  and  chocolate  wars  on  white  couches.)  Other  experiences  include  problem  solving,  the  mastering  of 
photography  while  slaying  in  the  cabin  the  next  day  (it's  so  sunny.)  Well,  JuBabe  Good  Luck  in  your  futtire. 
we  will  miss  having  your  happy,  fiinloving  personality  around  us.  (snorts  and  all)

Edward  Narain 


Ed,  God  ihal  kid's  annoying.  Anyway,  he  established  himself  here  ai  our  glorious  school  in  grade  10.  He  briefly 
roomed  with  S.A.  &  MB.  before  irreconcilable  differences  split  the  love  trio.  Ed  really  enjoyed  classes,  especially 
the  ones  that  ended  up  in  Wenman.  in  his  room,  on  the  quad  etc.  sometimes  outnumbering  those  classes  of  the 
less  favourable  variety.  Sadly,  Ed  possesses  a  tropical  disease  which  enables  him  to  sleep  for  close  to  15  hours 
a  day,  Ed  played  soccer  for  2  seasons  on  the  1st  XI.  but  tragically  his  grade  12  season  was  shattered  due  to  an 
ankle  injury.  He  also  played  rugby  for  the  3rd  XV  this  year.  Ed  spent  his  last  year  in  boarding  with  the  charming 
R.L.  who  subiiminally  tuned,  twisted,  and  warped  Ed's  morals,  managing  to  rob  him  of  any  sense  of  hygiene. 
The  boarding  community  will  always  grit  their  teeth  in  memory  of  Ed's  immortal  words  "Don't  worry.  I'll  get 
you  a  new  one,"  Ed  has  enjoyed  his  3  years  at  S.M,U,.  making  a  lot  of  friends  and  contributing  greatly  to  the 
school,  Ed  told  me  to  mention  that  although  several  glamorous  universities  world  wide  have  all  showed  interest 
in  this  remarkable  Fijian,  that  he  will  return  to  the  sunshine  state,  downunder  at  Brisbane  University.  Don't  come 
back!! 


Susumu  Nojima 


Susumu  came  lo  St.  Michaels  in  Grade  10  as  a  non-english  speaking  Japanese  student.  He  soon  made  friends 
and  soon  picked  up  the  necessary  words.  By  Grade  1 1  he  was  completely  transformed.  The  once  innocent  Japanese 
student  can  now  be  seen  on  his  motorcycle.  Susumu  became  an  important  part  of  the  Rugby  teams  as  a  fearless 
hooker.  Susumu  hopes  to  attend  a  university  in  California  or  somewhere  else  where  the  sun  is  warm.  Sayonara  Noji! 


Tina  Passmore 


Tina  emmigrated  to  S.M.U.  from  the  strange  environment  called  PUBLIC  SCHOOL  SYSTEM  which  she  fondly 
remembers.  Tina  alias  "penny",  "Kenass".  "Tina  Tunafish"  (thanks  to  Mr.  McCracken)  came  to  S.M.U.  in 
Grade  9  as  a  young,  shy  fledgling,  a  status  which  has  since  changed  following  the  Mexico  Trip  of  87.  It  was 
on  this  trip  that  Tina  came  to  realize  (enjoy!)  the  wilder  aspects  of  SM.U.  life,  Tina  can  often  be  seen  driving 
around  Brentwood  in  her  lil'  green  Ghia  (Hey  Tina,  is  it  STILL  in  the  shop?!  What  happened  to  the  BIG  tnjck?(!) 
In  games  Tina  is  a  staunch  member  of  the  Field  Hockey  team  and  Soccer  team.  When  not  playing  games.  Teena 
is  off  to  the  all-day  rehearsals  of  Kiss  Me  Kate,  of  which  she  is  a  chorus  member.  During  the  Spring  Break  of 
1990.  Tina  will  be  enjoying  Bockbier  and  Bratwurst  on  this  year's  German  Trip.  Next  year  Tina  hopes  to  study 
"Big  Business"  at  Western,  U.B.C..  Ottawa  or  Queens.  On  a  closing  note.  Tina,  have  you  figured  out  yet  who 
wrote  Macbeth?!!! 


James  Pengilly 


James  came  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  7  and  is  rumoured  to  have  been  growing  his  hair  ever  since.  An  avid  Canucks 
fan.  James  was  the  all-star  goalie  for  his  road  hockey  team  in  second  term  (losing  only  a  few  games  because  he 
couldn't  see  through  his  hair).  When  not  trying  lo  save  society  from  P.K.T's  "tragic"  taste  in  music,  James 
spent  his  time  playing  Rugby  for  the  3rd  xv  and  horse  riding  (which  he  insists  is  a  studly  sport).  Despite  many 
hours  spent  with  a  coffee  mug  in  O'Donaks,  James  surprises  even  himself,  by  getting  good  marks  in  English. 
He  idolizes  Dan  Fielding  from  Night  Coun.  and  much  like  his  revered  hero,  he  has  faced  public  embarrassment 
more  than  once  through  the  combination  of  a  dirty  mind,  a  loud  voice  and  lack  of  tact.  His  pet  peev  is  missing 
an  "A"  by  1%  in  half  his  subjects,  and  his  consistent  "B"'s  have  earned  the  official  title  of  the  most  average 
student  in  the  grade.  His  plans  for  the  future?  To  get  rid  of  thai  horrible  smell  in  his  car,  "Well  it's  still  better 
than  a  scooter!"

Julie  Platz 


Jules  -  "the  hick"  came  from  the  thriving  metropolis  of  Gold  River  to  the  gossip  bound  halls  at  SMU.  in  her 
fateful  Grade  1 1  year.  It  all  started  with  her  reserved  admiration  for  P.W.  &  D.K.  Later,  she  would  be  seen  cruis- 
ing with  AH.  in  a  certain  MG  -  "out  for  coffee"  -  now  "Lance"  don'i  get  jealous!  Around  exam  lime,  things 
got  really  tough  and  she  resorted  toT.P..  much  to  the  dismay  of  R.D.  and  N.D.  Then  came  the  infamous  university 
trip  -  which  quenched  Julie's  thirst  for  .  .  .  knowledge  -  momentarily.  Getting  into  the  academic  swing  of  things 
in  Grade  1 1.  Julie  emerged  as  the  "b<iarding  brain".  Depending  on  her  motxl.  or  the  time  of  day.  one  may  be 
confronted  with  her  forward  inquiries  "What's  your  problem?"  or  one  of  her  "I'm  not  in  a  people  mw>d"  stares. 
To  keep  her  lean.  mean,  prefect  machme  runnmg  snuxnhly  she  pumped  weights,  ran.  swam  with  A.K..  and  gen- 
erally kept  her  ticker  ticking.  Her  adventures  in  Nepal  with  R.D.  &  R.P.  gave  her  only  a  taste  of  the  travelling 
she  hopes  to  do.  Keep  an  eye  on  this  soon-to-be  McGill  graduate  in  her  black  Jag,  a  law  degree  in  her  briefcase. 


Jennifer  Psyllakis 


Jen  migrated  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  10  after  two  years  at  Oak  Bay.  During  her  first  year  she  met  up  with  Annie, 
and  from  there  on  trouble  came  easily.  As  soon  as  Jen  got  her  ever-beloved  driver's  license  you  could  usually 
find  her  with  her  other  half  in  either  Shawnigan  Lake  or  the  middle  of  Metchosin.  In  games  she  kept  herself  busy 
by  running  well  for  Ms.  Keziere  in  both  cross  country  and  track.  If  nothing  else,  maybe  Jen  left  an  impression 
with  Mr.  Faulkner  by  being  one  of  the  "gruesome  twosome  twins".  Jen  will  travel  first  around  the  world  and 
then  preferably  the  outer  solar  system,  before  returning  to  the  croverdale  race  track  for  work.  U.V.I.C.  is  looking 
good  to  her  in  91.  where  she  will  carry  on  her  studies  in  Geography  and  Geology.  As  Jen  kept  on  reminding 
me.  "Stop  peddling  so  fast  and  coast  for  a  while." 


Troy  Purden 


Darren  Troy  Purden  first  graced  SMU  with  his  presence  in  1983  at  the  Junior  Campus.  A  love  for  the  glory  of 
rugby  was  instilled  very  earl>  on  and  led  to  a  tour  of  the  U.K.  in  1986.  Unfortunately  his  rugby  career  was  cut 
short  by  injury,  although  the  pain  of  not  being  able  to  play  was  often  worse  than  the  pain  in  his  back.  Troy  also 
played  on  the  "Killer  Bees"  basketball  and  soccer  teams.  Every  summer  saw  Troy  heading  out  on  the  high  seas 
to  wake  up  at  4:30  a.m.  and  fish  all  day.  Mmm  -  smells  good!  This  gruelling  work  led  to  the  purchase  of  the 
infamous  Silver  Bullet  in  1988.  The  Bullet  made  up  for  its  lack  of  brakes  with  a  lot  of  character  and  a  lot  of 
inventive  driving  by  Troy  Troy  could  be  heard  coming  long  before  he  could  be  seen  arriving  late  but  just  in 
time  for  Brown  Hall  Duty  with  B.F.  1  roy  headed  south  of  the  border  at  Spring  Break  on  the  Mexico  Tour  and 
he  adapted  very  quickly  to  Mexican  culture.  DTP,  KM.  SE  and  SA  could  be  seen  in  the  summer  term  heading 
off  in  the  Bullet  to  practise  their  Spanish  with  their  good  friend  Jose  who  they'd  smuggled  across  the  border  for 
a  better  life  in  Canada!  Troy  started  his  Grad  year  with  a  full  academic  schedule  but  couldn't  stand  the  fact  that 
KM  had  more  spares  than  he  did  and  he  soon  did  his  best  to  catch  up.  The  two  can  be  seen  waging  thumb  wars 
at  most  times  of  the  day.  Troy  is  also  an  awesome  surfin"  dude  and  can  be  seen  with  TM  catchin"  some  mbular 
surf  out  at  Sombrio.  Surf  on  dudel  Although  in  Grade  12  we  had  to  bode  a  tearful  goodbye  to  the  Bullet,  Troy 
still  managed  to  have  his  fair  share  of  "parking  accidents".  No  seriously  -  there  was  something  in  the  road!  Troy 
was  so  impressed  with  the  Mexican  people  and  their  country  that  he  hopes  to  return  to  ah  .  .  .  what  was  it 
.  ,  -  study  their  culture  in  more  depth  -  yeah,  that's  the  ticket.  After  one  or  was  it  two  years?  Anyway,  he  plans 
on  furthering  his  education  at  the  illustrious  UVIC  sometime  in  the  fiiture. 
Viva  la  Mexico!  DLTDF 


Christine  Reilly 


Christine  followed  her  brothers'  footsteps  in  1985.  and  showed  up  on  S.M.U. 's  doorstep,  full  of  energy  as  a  keen 
Grade  8  student.  Amazingly  enough  she  is  one  of  the  few  students  who  has  carried  this  energy  right  to  the  end 
of  her  time  at  S.M.U..  She  was  always  the  person  you  could  rum  to  when  you  had  a  problem  or  needed  encour- 
agement. It  is  not  surprising  that  she  was  awarded  the  "Miss  Nice  Guy"  trophy  at  Speech  Day.  This  talented 
young  lady  was  well  liked  by  her  peers:  she  was  nominated  onto  the  Student  Council  several  years,  was  an  avid 
member  of  the  Dance  Committee  (when  such  things  existed),  and  even  held  a  position  on  the  dreaded  Grad  Com- 
mittee. Christine  was  always  ready  to  devote  her  time  to  good  causes:  she  headed  the  30  Hour  Famine  and  each 
year  volunteered  for  Uncle  Willy's  M.S.  drive.  Above  all.  though.  Chris"  huge  contribution  to  school  life  was 
her  dedication  and  continued  efforts  on  the  Yearbook.  She  had  agreed  to  be  a  co-editor  before  realizing  that  she 
had  TWO  books  to  put  together.  Chris  never  complained,  though,  just  worked  solidly  until  done.  Christine  also 
found  time  to  be  an  extremely  talented  musician  and  artist.  Chapel  was  often  graced  by  her  beautiful  violin  music, 
and  the  halls  of  Schoolhouse  were  filled  with  her  masterpieces.  Christine  may  not  be  rushing  off  to  buy  a  white 
coat  and  become  a  doctor  right  away,  especially  not  after  Chem  class  in  Grade  11  with  Mr  McG's  chocolate 
cake  theories,  nor  after  Grade  12  Physics,  but  whatever  she  does,  she  will  do  well.  Goodbye  old  friend,  we  wish 
you  the  best  of  luck  at  McGill.

Gordon  Reilly 


Gordon  ReiUy  (a.k.a.  Goblin)  was  led  by  ihe  Lord  to  the  hallowed  halls  of  S.M.U.  in  Grade  7  along  with  Spuck. 
In  the  Senior  School,  this  aspiring  athlete  budded  like  a  young  sapling  and  made  his  debut  on  the  rugby  field 
as  a  Junior  Colts  "C"  XV  crashball  centre.  In  Grade  10.  the  sapling  matured  inlo  a  solid  oak,  anchoring  the 
Colts  "B"  XV  front  row  as  a  sturdy  hooker.  Grade  1 1  saw  the  emergence  of  Gordon  as  a  force  to  be  reckoned 
with,  playing  hooker  for  the  1st  and  2nd  XV's.  Apart  from  rugby,  nobody  saw  much  of  Gordo  during  his  Grade 
1 1  year  due  to  a  certain  ML,,  In  his  senior  year  Gordon  became  a  full  fledged  member  of  the  F.R.U.  as  well 
as  one  of  the  infamous  T.F.P.D.F.H..  He  also  toured  the  U.K.  and  Ireland  with  the  senior  rugby  team.  Off  the 
rugby  field  Gord  contributes  to  the  school  as  a  Prefect,  (exhale  O.K.?)  a  student  council  member  and  a  talented 
thespian  in  Kiss  Me  Kale.  At  recess,  everybody  wanted  a  piece  of  Gordon's  honeybuns.  Next  year,  Gord  plans 
to  go  to  Western  with  Spuck  and  Boo  to  study  commerce.  Thanks  for  being  a  friend,  member  always,  -  U.T.C. 


Leif  Reinhold 


Crossing  the  ocean  in  1985.  Leif  came  to  SMU  from  West  Germany,  Rising  from  the  basement  to  mathematical 
stardom,  he  spent  many  of  his  precious  lunch-hours  writing  Math  contests.  He  gave  up  on  his  musical  career 
after  singing  Pink  Floyd  at  midnight  with  P.K.-T.  on  the  Robertson  II.  After  working  his  way  up  from  Head 
of  Scorekeeping  to  Basketball  Team  Manager,  he  was  often  seen  ripping  his  hair  out  after  the  computer  calculated 
the  shooting  averages.  Known  to  completely  ignore  his  homework  and  still  do  very  well,  he  ended  up  spending 
a  lot  of  time  at  basketball  games  or  out-of-town  tournaments.  His  black  Jeep  usually  took  him  away  from  campus, 
so  that  little  is  known  about  his  social  life.  Rumor  has  it  that  he  went  to  a  lot  of  heavy-metal  concerts.  His  athletic 
goal  was  to  become  the  city's  best  broomball  player.  Maybe  we'll  see  him  building  the  world's  fastest  airplanes 
in  the  fumre.  He'll  really  miss  breaking  the  great  Prefect  -  God's  rule  by  eating  downstairs  in  Challoner.  He'll 
always  remember  P.K..  M.S..  K.W.,  N.S.,  and  especially  S.W.  Ah  well,  bye  all.  Leif  seems  to  fade  away  .  .  . 


Vanessa  Richards 


This  bnght  young  woman  arrived  at  S.M.U.  in  1985.  one  of  a  handful  of  girls,  who  would  spend  her  next  five 
years  getting  involved  in  all  aspects  of  S.M.U,  life.  Vanessa  could  often  be  heard  recounting  tales  from  the  sea 
upwn  which  she  was  an  avid  sailor,  distinguishing  herself  nationally  in  1990.  more  locally  as  a  sailing  instructor, 
and  not  to  mention  the  Yacht  Club  parties  where  she  was  also  an  avid  participant.  Her  athletic  achievements  include 
playing  on  the  Junior  and  Senior  Volleyball  teams,  and  even  taking  part  in  some  Track  and  Field  events.  The 
School  Yearbook  could  never  have  materiahzed  had  it  not  been  for  hours  of  work  spent  tirelessly  by  this  young 
lady,  who  helped  put  together  two  complete  yearbooks  -  an  awesome  achievement  often  taken  for  granted.  In 
the  Arts  Vanessa  is  a  noted  thespian,  having  played  major  roles  in  a  number  of  productions,  both  in  and  outside 
of  the  school,  and  also  displaying  her  talents  in  the  finals  of  recitation  competitions  each  year.  She  is  a  talented 
linguist  and  has  been  dul>  recognized  as  such  by  winning  the  French  Prize  each  year  (too  bad  there  was  only 
one  video!),  and  also  has  become  almost  fluent  in  German,  aided  by  the  fact  on  school  exchanges  and  lours  of 
both  France  and  Germany.  Vanessa's  scientific  merits  took  her  as  far  as  Chem  1 1/  Physics  12  1/2  in  which  Vanessa 
learned  the  true  meaning  of  Frustration  right  along  with  her  lab-partner-in-crime:  C.R.  The  sciences  taught  Va- 
nessa that  her  interests  lie  in  the  Arts  and  Humanities,  and  so  she  will  attend  the  Drama  Program  at  U.V.I.C. 
in  the  Fall.  Vanessa  is  a  kind  and  giving  person  and  a  truly  great  friend,  who  deserves  only  the  best  in  life,  and 
we're  sure  she'll  be  a  success  in  whatever  she  does. 


Alison  Rippington 


Big  Al  came  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  10  from  Oak  Bay.  Al's  bubbly  personality  and  non-stop  chattage  has  made  her 
one  of  the  more  noticeable  members  of  the  student  body.  Her  fondest  high  school  memories  include  Fiesta  '88, 
chatting  up  a  storm  with  many  of  her  friends,  and  her  grade  10  studies  of  the  Philippine  culture.  Alison's  excellence 
in  the  field  of  athletics  has  often  enabled  her  to  miss  afternoon  games  j>eriods  for  more  pressing  engagements. 
Alison's  sole  ambition  in  life  is  to  make  it  as  far  as  U.B.C.  where  she  hopes  to  study  arts  and  possibly  become 
the  next  Dr.  Ruth  or  Oprah  Winfrey.  Alison's  charm  and  warm  character  will  be  greatly  missed  by  all  of  the 
special  friends  she's  made  in  her  years  at  S.M.U.  Alison  will  be  successful  in  whatever  she  does  or  wherever 
she  goes.  We  wish  you  the  Best  of  Luck.  Cheers  Alison  .  .  . 
Friendship  is  the  inexpressible  comfort  of  having  neither  to  weigh  thoughts  or  measure  words.

Charles  Romaniuk 


Charles  came  to  S.M.U.  in  1987.  He  originated  from  the  hellish  torment  of  ""Highway  107"  in  International  House. 
Life  was  fast  and  fun.  The  hallowed  windows  of  the  highway  were  blessed  with  the  presence  of  Calvin  and  Hobbes 
lor  several  months.  These  same  windows  were  also  broken  by  a  cenain  D.C.  who  claims  to  have  punched  them. 
In  grade  II  life  improved,  in  some  ways.  His  new  rtximmate.  Jim  in  New  House,  had  money  galore  and  toys 
lo  go  with  It.  But  regardmg  his  sanitary  philosophy;  let's  jusi  say  it  was  a  bit  different.  Life  wasn't  as  fun  anymore 
but  it  was  still  fast  Tixlay  he  stands  in  a  brighter  light:  overshadowed  by  Mr.  Tongue,  upstairs.  He  lives  with 
Carlo  and  is  neighbors  with  the  oriental  noodle  twins,  Bamy  and  The  ■■Chang"ers.  Over  his  three  years  al  S.M.U. 
Charles  has  gone  from  a  tollkeeper  on  highway  !07  to  the  president  of  the  exclusive  Club  Tongue,  accessible 
off  Aldhdge.  via  a  long  driveway,  on  the  left.  Charles  hopes  to  go  to  the  University  of  Waterloo,  but  if  he  doesn't 
make  it,  "there's  always  Alberta" 


Jane  Rondow 


Jane  (Rhonda,  mutant  Janie  twin)  came  to  S.M.U.  in  grade  8  from  St.  Margaret's.  She  was  first  sighted  by  her 
fellow  mutant,  wearing  red  Converse  and  a  check  shirt,  running  no  one  quite  knows  where  (late  again?!!!)  Jane 
has  since  been  a  valuable  member  of  S.A.D.D..  Kiss  Me  Kate,  the  Mikado.  Jesus  Christ  Superstar,  and  the  en- 
vironment committee.  The  famous  laugh,  peach  facials,  poodle  look,  and  her  vast  knowledge  of  insect  species 
and  the  thesaurus  will  always  be  remembered,  as  well  as  the  mutual  acknowledgement  of  the  necessity  of  certain 
male  characteristics  Jane  will  never  suffer  from  lack  of  appetite,  even  if  it  means  missing  class  in  the  afternoon. 
Her  athletic  feats  include  trying  to  windsurf  at  Elk  Lake  with  M.W.,  and  skiing  almost  as  fast  as  those  snow  board- 
ers, Jane  is  also  an  enthusiastic  B-ball  player,  yes  she  did  get  a  basket,  and  a  key  position  on  the  1st  XI  hockey 
team.  When  Jane  isn't  driving  in  her  "great  while  whale"  she  is  either  singing  or  playing  the  spoons!  One  day 
Jane  will  be  very  very  famous  actress  with  tons  of  animals  and  kids!  But  first  she  will  study  either  Biology  or 
drama  at  U.V.I.C.  Good  Luck!  and  Take  Care.  "Every  one  carries  within  him  the  world  in  which  he  must  live" 


Tamara  Rusnak 


This  tall.  leggy,  blonde  joined  our  school  (our  SMUPER  school),  in  the  middle  of  Grade  8.  keeping  with  the 
tradition  that  she  is  never  on  time  for  anything,  including  the  school  year!!  Tamara  was  an  avid  participant  in 
sports  and  managed  a  place  on  both  the  basketball  and  volleyball  teams  for  three  consecutive  years  as  well  as 
swimming  competitively  on  a  local  swim  team.  However,  "Tum"'s  forte  was  on  the  third  fioor  of  Schoolhouse. 
where  she  produced  some  of  the  school's  finest  artwork,  always  having  at  least  one  portrait  on  the  art  wall  in 
the  corridor  of  Schoolhouse.  Academically.  Tamara  is  a  strong  student,  proving  that  Chemistrv  can  be  conquered 
with  a  little  work  .  .  .  and  tears  .  .  .  This  world  traveller  managed  to  soak  up  European  culture  on  two  trips 
to  this  overseas  continent.  She  went  on  the  France  Trip  in  Grade  10  and  to  Portugal  in  Grade  11  (I  don't  think 
she  ever  did  come  back  emotionally  .  .  .).  She  left  her  heart  on  the  beaches  in  Nice.  TYamara's  ftiture  plans 
include  Medicine  at  either  U.  of  T.  or  U.B.C.  although  her  friends  think  she  belongs  on  the  covers  of  Vogue. 
Wherever  she  goes,  this  "blond  wonder"  will  have  no  trouble  getting  there. 


Alex  Schutte 


He  came  lo  SMU  in  Grade  six. 

When  John  S   was  still  doing  uicks 

He  advanced  through  the  years,  without  hardship  and  tears. 

And  thought  that  the  system  he'd  licked. 

This  longlasting  boarder. 

Has  done  the  house  in  order. 

From  Harvey  to  School,  and  International,  which  ruled  (303), 

Back  to  Harvey,  then  New  House,  to  loiter. 
He  IS  also  one  of  the  select. 
Belonging  to  New  House  Prefects 
He's  in  all  the  plays,  and  a  star  he's  been  made. 
But  the  cast  always  keeps  him  in  check. 

He's  always  witty  and  quick. 

Writes  poetry  with  a  ball-pointed  bic, 

He's  rarely  asleep,  and  he  never  gets  sick. 

And  will  continue  at  the  great  U.  of  Vic.

Todd  Scott 


Todd  Scon  was  new  to  SMU  when  he  arrived  in  Grade  12.  Immediately  he  was  recognised  for  his  laie-night  Chem 
equations  in  his  sleep.  It  is  difficult  to  say  what  Todd's  favorite  sport  was.  but  he  enjoys  cycling,  kayaking,  scuba 
diving,  canoeing,  hiking,  and  everything  else  thai  can  inflict  pain  on  oneself  {except  rugby  because  it  requires 
that  you  hurt  other  people).  He  was  also  the  co-ordinator  of  the  Environmental  Group  and  he  hopes  one  day  to 
travel  around  the  world  in  his  kayak  Sorry  Todd  Best  of  luck  at  Dalhousie.  Thanks  for  the  memories  and  we're 
really  really  really  sorry  (to  see  you  go)ll 


Andrea  Sharpe 


Andrea.  Andy,  was  a  very  committed  member  of  the  school.  She  was  not  only  given  the  'honour"  of  being  a 
boarding  prefect,  but  also  was  a  tremendous  asset  to  the  Yearbook  Staff,  with  her  sidekick  Rene,  After  two  years 
at  the  establishment.  Andrea  noted  many  changes,  and  we  did  in  her  (that  beautiful  long  hair).  She  probably  will 
never  forget  booting  around  in  Em's  Green  Bug  throughout  most  of  Grade  1 1  and  12  and  the  Grad  Ski  Trip. 
Good  luck  Andrea  we  will  miss  you. 


Joe  Siddiqi 


Joes  artistic  talents  made  quantum  leaps  and  bounds  as  he  raised  from  the  depths  of  demonic  portraits.  Shafiq's 
greatest  setback  was  his  wimpy  scafoid  endloss  bone  that  ended  his  career  in  professional  rugger.  His  pizza-eating 
abilities  were  unequalled  as  he  ate  the  weird  stuff  any  time  he  got  the  munchies  and  nothing  else  would  do.  Hoom 
Bada.  a  former  Joe  &  the  No-Hairs  member,  this  anomaly  was  an  avid  guitar  strummer  until  he  found  more  in- 
teresting pursuits.  Jose  greatly  enjoyed  Gregario's  Lit  classes  where  he  would  listen  to  the  multitude  of  Captain 
Kirk  quotes.  He  was  just  spaced  .  .  . 


Dave  Skulbru 


Dave  Nils  Skulbru  (aka  Spuck),  came  to  the  hallowed  halls  of  SMU  in  Grade  7  from  the  thriving  metropolis  of 
Gold  River.  B.C.  It  was  at  this  time  that  he  became  acquainted  with  GR  and  laid  the  foundation  for  the  UTC. 
Daverino  coasted  through  his  classes  at  SMU.  relying  on  tremendous  natural  ability  rather  than  countless  hours 
of  tedious  studying.  Although  he  has  had  the  odd  personality  clash  with  his  teachers  in  the  past,  he  is  now  under- 
stood and  well-liked  by  his  mentors,  as  well  as  his  peers.  David  is  one  of.  if  not  the  best  athlete  in  the  grad  class, 
and  played  scrum-half  for  the  1st  XV  this  year.  His  main  contribution  to  the  school,  however,  is  on  the  basketball 
court,  where  he  is  Captain,  and  one  of  the  best  players  SMU  has  ever  produced.  He  is  regularly  selected  as  an 
all-star.  His  3-pointer  at  the  buzzer  to  beat  the  heavily  favored  Lambrick  Park  truly  put  him  in  the  "hero"  cat- 
egory, and  he  will  undoubtedly  go  down  in  SMU  history.  Spucker  is  still  searching  for  the  "Ms.  Right",  but 
SC.  JM.  GC.  and  SA  don't  think  he  will  ever  settle  down.  Next  year.  Dave  will  probably  become  the  first  SMU 
student  to  play  in  the  NBA  but  failing  that,  he'll  go  to  Western  with  Cord  and  Boo,  among  others  in  the  Escort 
GT.  You'll  miss  him  when  he's  gone,  guYs. 
Member  forever.  U.T.C.

Megan  Smith 


Megan  came  to  SMU  as  a  naive  and  gullible  Grade  10  from  the  bustling  metropolis  of  Powell  River.  Going  to 
school  with  people  she  hadn't  known  since  kindergarten  was  a  change,  as  was  the  availability  of  a  McDonald's. 
She  never  she'd  get  used  to  calling  teachers  "sir"  and  "ma'am".  Her  nicknames  "Pardon  me'"  and  "mega- 
phone" are  attributed  to  her  clear,  distinct  speaking  voice.  Megan  "prtKrastination"  Smith  thought  she  might 
have  a  chance  to  "get  her  life  together"  when  she  started  at  SMU,  but  then  she  met  J  W.  and  hasn't  recovered 
since.  At  last  count  she  had  18  English  essays  due  (&  overdue),  Maybe  if  she  woke  up  before  8:00  and  didn't 
fall  asleep  in  the  shower  she  might  occasionally  make  it  to  tutorial.  Back  rooming  with  K.Y.  again  in  Gr.  12. 
after  thoroughly  annoying  AS.  in  Gr.  1 1,  meant  PIZZA.  The  red  roses  in  her  desk  resulted  from  a  social  life 
primarily  outside  of  SMU,  mostly  involving  Mt.  Doug  grads.  If  she  wasn't  busy  doing  homework  at  the  last  min- 
ute, she  could  be  found  at  the  bottom  of  Challoner  joking  around  with  S.W.,  N.S.,  K.W..  L.R..  and  P.K.  SMU 
wasn't  always  easy,  but  the  people  made  it  all  worthwhile.  Besides,  how  else  could  she  find  out  which  drugs 
the  Romantic  poets  were  on? 


Nicola  Stewart 


Nicola  arrived  at  SMU  from  Courtenay  and  became  the  school's  first  female  Grade  8  out-boarder.  After  Grade 
9.  instead  of  transferring  to  the  dorms  she  had  already  transferred  from  the  upstairs  bedroom  to  the  downstairs 
bedroom  in  Mrs.  Wenman's  house  and  had  now  confused  the  Wenmans  as  to  whether  or  not  she's  in  for  dinner 
for  five  years.  Nic.  who  went  about  in  her  own  quiet  way  with  3  earrings  in  her  left  ear.  thought  that  she  had 
mastered  procrastination  but  changed  her  mind  in  Grade  10  when  she  met  M.S.  and  J.W.  She  then  wanted  to 
take  lessons  from  them  but  still  hasn't  gotten  around  to  it.  As  for  her  relationships  they  have  mainly  stayed  outside 
the  school  where  she  was  more  lively  and  outgoing  anyways.  In  Grade  10  Nic's  best  friend  was  S.W.  who  lived 
out  of  town  and  spent  much  of  her  time  commuting.  Now  that  both  Nicola  and  S.W.  live  in  the  same  house  Nic 
sees  even  less  of  S.  Weird  what  happens  when  boyfriends  come  along.  Oh  well.  Grade  12  was  the  worst  -  deciding 
what  to  do  for  the  rest  of  her  life  almost  ruined  it.  Hanging  around  on  the  bottom  floor  of  Challoner  "saved" 
her  from  insanity  •  or  did  it?  Anyway,  the  other  five  -  S.W.,  M.S..  K.W.,  L.R.,  and  P.K.  will  always  be  re- 
membered and  even  though  Nic's  lunches  were  always  small  they  still  weren't  supposed  to  be  eaten  there.  Humph. 
A  cheery  (sort  oO  good-bye  from  Nic.  and  see  you? 


Mark  Stock 


In  Grade  II  Mark  came  to  SMU  from  the  metropolis  of  Tumbler  Ridge  (yeah,  that's  the  place  Mr.  Dunlop  was 
talking  about  in  Geography  class),  Mark  was  immediately  put  at  a  disadvantage  when  he  was  put  m  dorm  202 
of  International  House  with  some,  well  .  ,  .  different  roommates.  Mark  discovered  that  there's  more  to  French 
than  just  bonjour  and  was  soon  admitted  to  Ms.  Keziere's  bonehead  French  class.  Mark's  experiences  up  North 
finally  proved  to  have  some  usefullness  when  he  was  selected  by  Mr.  Laidlaw  to  be  the  skip  of  the  school  curling 
team  (WOW!!).  In  Grade  12  Mark  became  a  prefect  in  New  House  and  soon  moved  in  with  M.B.,  who  taught 
him  a  few  new  habits  (although  not  all  good).  In  this  final  year  Mark  became  a  powerful  force  as  the  full  back 
of  the  3rd  XV  rugb>  team  as  well  as  being  a  member  of  the  school  tennis  team.  Next  year  Mark  hopes  to  travel 
east  to  attend  either  Queen's  or  Western  to  study  business  and  then  go  on  to  get  a  law  degree.  Good  luck,  Mark, 
at  whatever  you  choose  to  do.

Lara  Tomaszewski 


Lara  T.  migrated  from  the  all-female  confines  of  Norfolk  lo  join  the  ranks  at  SMU  in  Grade  10.  Since  then  her 
outgoing  personality  has  earned  her  many  friends  and  certain  admirers.  This  year.  Lara  is  a  dedicated  member 
of  the  M.B.  crowd,  escaping  campus  most  lunch  hours,  spares,  and  even  certain  classes,  to  sit  in  our  favorite 
restaurant  and  have  a  .  .  .  coffee.  Lara  has  distinguished  herself  in  the  past  three  years  on  the  debating  team  and 
has  dedicated  herself  to  the  demanding  sport  of  aerobics.  Lara's  fun-loving  personality  graced  both  the  France 
and  Mexico  trips  in  Grades  10  and  1 1 .  and  both  countries  are  still  recovering  from  her  ceaseless  quest  for  culture 
and  a  good  time.  Next  year  she  plans  to  take  her  love  of  culture  and  sense  of  adventure  to  Europe  (England) 
on  the  GAP  exchange,  and  if  she  ever  returns,  she  will  attend  either  UBC  or  McGill. 


Helen  Truran 


Helen  "Mullet"  Truran.  also  known  lo  some  as  Helen  ahhh  .  .  .  Smith!!!,  has  been  a  member  of  the  SMU  family 
since  Grade  9,  when  she  was  recruited  from  St.  Margarets.  From  the  very  beginning  of  Helen's  stay  at  SMU 
she  hurled  herself  into  the  sports  program  as  a  key  member  of  the  1st  XI  Field  Hockey,  soccer,  and  basketball 
teams.  I'm  sure  Helen  will  never  forget  the  '88  B.C.  basketball  tournament  (or  hotel),  at  Bums  Lake,  at  which 
she  was  welcomed  with  a  surprise  on  her  pillow  upon  arrival  and  a  snowball  through  the  window  at  2:00  a.m. 
Or  the  time  when  on  a  field  hockey  trip,  she  was  locked  out  of  her  hotel  room  wearing  .  .  .  Nevertheless  Helen 
was  always  an  enthusiastic  and  crucial  player  in  such  sporting  endeavors.  Helen's  enthusiasm  was  not  however, 
limited  to  on-campus  activities  .  .  .  (come  on.  come  on  .  -  .)  as  she  took  place  in  several  "grad-type"  social 
occasions  over  the  years.  Next  year  Helen  will  be  travelling  to  England  to  spend  a  year  working  (and  whatever 
else  that  might  include)  as  a  member  of  the  G.A.P.  exchange.  Good  luck.  Hel.  although  I'm  sure  you  won't  even 
need  il.  And  remember  Mullet  II,  to  always  "be  all  you  can  be"

Mike  Van  Camp 


One  of  the  two  kings  from  Banff,  Mike  arrived  on  the  scene  here  in  September  1985.  easily  fitting  in  and  picking 
up  women.  In  Grade  9  Mike  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Dorm  36  Rebels  who  terrorized  School  House 
for  the  entire  year.  Grade  10  found  Mike  as  a  regular  quad  romper.  Who  could  ever  forget  terrorizing  Crazy 
Bill  every  night  after  his  11  p.m.  pitstop.  I  wonder  how  no  one  could  explain  the  underwear  in  the  comer  of 
the  room  because  J.M.  and  G.C.  had  nothing  to  do  with  it.  Mike  could  also  be  found  chasing  B  around  I.H.  in 
the  raw  with  a  face  cloth  m  his  left  hand.  Grade  1 1  found  Mike  picking  up  a  new  sidekick  and  his  lifelong  love 
S.W.  Mike  was  mmoured  to  have  a  romantic  encounter  with  L.K.  in  Oak  Bay;  who  knows  why  they  call  you 
a  bloodhound,  you  seemed  to  do  it  quite  well  during  your  piston  dance  around  the  campfire  with  C.C.  Mike  is 
an  avid  player  of  rugby  and  if  he  had  not  hurt  his  foot  in  the  early  season  would  have  been  the  captain  of  the 
Isi  XV  after  Mikes  life  is  mgby  or  it  could  be  basketball  after  showing  superior  leadership  with  the  Killer  B's 
in  Grade  11.  The  team  was  pretty  good  even  if  it  had  a  2-8  record.  In  the  hiture  Mike  can  be  found  at  Harvard 
studying  business  "only  if  the  computer  makes  a  mistake" 
Good  luck  in  the  future,  we  love  you.  Moss.

Luke  Von  Maldeghem 


This  big  German  slud  arrived  at  Chaicau  de  Si.  Michaels  from  Calgar>  in  Sepicmber  1985.  He  seemed  lo  have 
no  problems  attracting  the  women  like  velcro  with  his  fine  German  pick-up  skills.  Luke  seemed  to  dazzle  the 
schix)!  with  his  fine  rugby  skills  in  the  Colts  A,  even  though  he  was  in  a  younger  grade.  He  was  one  of  the  famous 
three  that  received  the  privilege  of  building  the  indestruclable  MARIN  House  "Who  knows  why  CC  and  JM" 
or  who  can  ever  forget  the  famous  surprise  package  for  two  compliments  of  LVM.  How  about  the  snapshot  with 
Mickey  &  Goofy  with  GC.  CC.  and  JM  in  Anaheim.  Luke  can  also  be  heard  singing  with  JP  with  his  beautiful 
tenor  voice  in  the  Grade  1 1  choir  Who  could  ever  forget  the  supposed  trip  lo  7-11  at  the  beginning  of  Grade 
10  even  though  we  had  good  intentions  we  never  did  reach  7-11.  thanks  to  the  blondy  who  glowed  in  the  dark 
and  could  easily  be  seen  by  PKT  In  the  future  Luke  can  be  found  on  his  bike  with  the  Hells  Angels  and  eventually 
ending  up  al  Sturgis  "bike  rally".  Who  knows,  in  the  future  you  could  probably  find  LVM  appearing  on  the 
Newlywed  Game  with  LW  and  taking  the  grand  prize  of  a  trip  to  the  Grand  Cayman  Island  with  LW  Luke,  a 
prized  possession  of  Mr.  MurdiKh's  can  be  found  dazzling  his  Geography  class  with  his  knowledge  of  the  land 
on  which  we  live.  In  the  future  Luke  plans  lo  attend  Western's  school  of  business.  Good  luck.  Big  Guy.  and  never 
forget  the  good  times. 


Katie  Wadds 


Coming  to  S.M.U.  in  Grade  II  from  the  KiMtenays  left  Katie  wondering  if  anything  would  ever  be  the  same 
again.  Victoria  was  strange  to  the  country  bumpkin.  It  contained  orange  double  bubble  gum,  lies,  and  bald  men. 
To  her  friends  in  the  valley  .  .  slay  there  says  she:  and  watch  out  for  KazI  Katie  and  Kaz  learned  what  it  was 
like  to  ride  in  a  Pietemobile  and  look  at  rainfilled  stars  under  a  duck-taped,  garbage  bag  covered,  and  smoke-filled 
tarp,  a  most  learning  experience  Toasts  go  to  Rm.  202,  a  strange  room,  and  to  the  basement  of  Challoner.  It 
housed  the  six  of  us,  our  lunches  and  our  boredom!  Good  to  break  free  eh  guys!  And  Katie  shall  end  with 
.  .  "I'm  going  10  Prydain,  marry  Taran.  have  Manisha  and  live  happily  ever  after!"  Oh  wail.  Kaz  has  to  re- 
member, "moon".  We  will  miss  you! 


Susan  Walsh 


I  didn't  waltz,  or  skip,  or  bop.  or  breeze,  or  flit  into  this  SMU  community.  I  just  sort  of  "got"  here.  And  then 
I  went  downtown.  And  then  I  went  skiing.  All  the  time.  And  now  I'm  graduating.  I  don't  know  any  of  you  and 
none  of  you  know  me.  I  don't  play  sports  -  I  nde  a  bike.  And  I  ski.  I  don't  indulge  in  the  Brown  Hall  delicacies 
-  I  eat  out.  I  don't  really  live  anywhere  -  I  jusi  come  from  somewhere  (That  "other"  school).  No  one  seems 
to  believe  this,  but  I  really  do  like  it  here.  I  do  have  friends  and  I  will  remember  Jess  &  Niamh  &  the  "I'm  terribly 
sorry",  the  Washington  weekend  and  Whistler  and  always  my  muffin  head. 


Philip  Westoby 


And  now  for  something  compielety  differeni  .  .  .  It's  one  of  the  select  few  to  make  the  pilgrimage  from  Glenlyon. 
Phil  entered  "SMOO"  in  Grade  8  (Well,  they  only  accept  the  best).  His  5  years  have  been  memorable  to  say 
the  least.  Flip  will  be  remembered  for  his  distinctive,  yet  illegal  uniform,  with  his  fake  Italian  suits  and  paisley 
handkerchiefs.  He  also  will  be  remembered  for  ordering  and  being  refused  a  dnnk  at  a  certain  sleazy  Chinese 
restaurant  (ask  CD)-  The  Westoby  coffee  stops  with  CD  at  the  Muffin  Break  and  sailing  weekends  with  his  cadet 
corps.  Westoby  hopes  to  become  a  chartered  accountant  but  he  seems  lo  have  changed  his  plans  to  law,  politics, 
and  commerce.  Phil  won't  be  holding  any  parties  for  a  while.  "We  all  have  a  desire  to  create  something  that 
will  show  we  were  here"  Prof.  Dr.  Ing.  N.C.F.  Porsche  "sure,  whatever"  Phil  Westoby

Liz  Whitmore 


Ai  the  end  of  Ihe  1986  school  year.  Oak  Bay  High  spewed  forth  yet  another  pupil  who  had  decided  to  immigrate 
to  S.M.U.  Her  first  thoughts  of  the  school  were  ruined  with  a  sidetrip  through  Straihcona  Park,  where  she  learned 
that  ■■mellow"  was  a  synonym  for  ■■Hell".  She  arrived  on  campus  with  her  kneesocks  pulled  up.  in  honour  of 
her  guide  and  mentor.  B.F.  She  started  off  in  all  the  top  sets,  but  rapidly  learned  that  she  could  never  be  a  braino. 
Grade  10  was  an  unmemorabie  year  that  ended  in  a  month-long  party  in  France.  She  proved  that  the  B-word  and 
teachers  are  alright  so  long  as  the  teachers  don't  know.  Liz  mellowed  out  a  great  deal  in  Grade  II.  She  made 
sure  that  everyone  minded  their  ■■P^'s  and  ■Q^'s  in  Mr.  C's  bookstore.  The  Sayward  expedition  in  June  turned 
out  to  be  very  educational  for  Liz.  The  basics  of  Chem  1 1  were  reinforced  by  an  avid  fisherman  J5C. 
■■Bases  are  slippery  lo  touch.  Fish  are  slippery.  Therefore  fish  are  bases". 

In  Grade  12,  Liz's  socks  hit  her  ankles,  grey  cardigans  were  acceptable  No.  1  dress  (in  her  eyes)  and  Liz  was 
her  own  guide  and  mentor.  Liz  was  able  to  produce  a  suitable  excuse  for  every  occasion.  We  might  remember 
her.  then  again,  she  won't  let  us  forget.  STAY  GOLD! 
■■This  IS  the  end  of  the  innocence." 


Moira  Wilson 


Moira  began  her  six  years  at  SMU  as  one  of  the  1st  four  junior  GIRLS.  Shower  dancing,  back  wars,  "the  fiip". 
M-E-T-H-0-D.  and  certain  letters  will  always  be  a  part  of  her  inner  soul.  Since  then  Moira  has  been  a  part  of 
the  Track  Team.  SADD.  Gr.  12  choir  and  the  1st  XI  grasshockey  learn.  How  about  basketball,  moi'?  And  how 
could  we  forget  a  dedicated  door  warden'?!  Her  falling  in  plant  pots,  butterfiy  and  thesaurus  hangups  and  "crucial" 
mistakes  are  continuously  hilarious.  In  the  immortal  words  of  our  hero.  Chevy  Chase.  "Try  to  breathe  through 
your  nose".  Being  a  certified  member  of  the  Ed  Alabass  fan  club,  exploits  such  as  purple  mousse  treatments,  SM's. 
keychains.  astronomy  class  and  the  quest  for  Jammu.  are  all  vital  aspects  of  life  destined  for  the  '■hall  of  mirrors". 
And  as  a  fan  of  the  red  velvet  and  shag  palace.  Roo  remembers  Nova  hotstuff  .  .  .  Chevy  hotsniff  ...  as  being 
sleek  and  smooth  mobiles,  just  like  her  accomplice.  Petite  Raoul.  Moira  found  the  Mexico  Trip  in  '88  and  the 
British  hockey  tour  in  '90  to  be  culturally  enhancing  experiences,  as  was  the  Grad  Ski  Trip  (octopus^').  Moi  can 
often  be  seen  fiying  around  in  Twinkie  (soon  to  be  married  to  Woody)  with  the  top  down  and  the  music  of  The 
Cull  blowing  in  the  wind  (Billy  Duffy  really  touched  this  shoe!)  and  Moira  only  loses  her  keys  sometimes  . 
Moira  (who  will  always  like  louring  universities  more  than  hiking  the  West  Coast  Trail)  will  be  remembered  for 
her  smiling  face  and  her  ability  to  make  people  laugh.  Next  year  Moira  will  study  Arts  at  either  Western  or  McGill. 
Good  luck.  Moi.  and  take  care! 


Ina  Wong 


Ina.  better  known  as  ■■Eeeena"  or  "Inikininika"  arrived  at  S.M.U.  in  Grade  9  after  a  stint  with  K.M.  at  Arbulus 
and  other  such  public  institutions.  However  she  quickly  adopted  the  more  refined  tastes  and  attitudes  characteristic 
of  students  attending  S.M.U.  In  her  most  important  lesson  of  Algebra  21,  Eena  learned  that  bare  legs  are  never 
an  option  for  a  "real  lady"  On  Saturday  nights.  "Indecisive  Ina"  can  be  seen  cruising  downtown  in  a  red  GTA 
with  B.W.  In  Grade  9.  Eena  distinguished  herself  as  a  member  of  the  exclusive  bathroom  gang,  which  was  disbanded 
after  an  ugly  dispute  with  B.F.  '■Speedy^'  could  often  be  seen  with  "Flash"  searching  for  the  elusive  shortcut 
on  the  chiptrail  across  hole  9  of  the  Henderson  Golf  Course.  Ina's  fondest  memories  of  S.M.U.  are  Tuesdays  and 
Wednesdays  when  she  only  had  three  classes  a  day.  ("What  a  lough  life!)  Smu's  own  Donald  Duck  hopes  to  attend 
McMasler,  or  U.B.C.  and  study  "REAL"  Biology.  Good  luck  Ina!! 


Kenny  Wong 


Ken  came  to  SMU  from  the  wacky  jungles  of  Malaysia  two  years  ago.  While  at  SMU,  he  made  the  2nd  XI  in 
soccer  in  his  Grade  II  year,  and  this  year  after  some  hard  work,  has  played  on  the  1st  XI.  Ken  hopes  to  be  soccer's 
next  Bryan  Robson  and  that's  a  big  hope!  There  has  yet  to  be  a  day  where  Ken  has  not  admired  his  hair  in  the

Philip  Woodcock 


When  Phil  first  arrived  at  SMU  in  Grade  8  he  became  well  known  for  his  "low  maintenance"  haircut.  Although 
rarely  seen  at  school  parties,  the  Canadian  Navy  is  well  aware  of  his  partying  ability.  On  the  rugby  front  Phil 
was  one  of  the  select  few  to  make  the  difficult  transition  from  p*>wer  2nd  row  to  dar/ting  speed  wmger  for  IHL's 
"Rebels".  Academically  Phil's  efforts  have  been  frugal  however.  Grade  12  saw  his  true  brilliance  blossom  in 
Chemistry.  Phil's  easygoing  attitude  will  be  dearly  missed  by  many.  If  Phil's  future  gt>es  as  planned,  the  Merchant 
Marine  will  be  gaining  a  stout  recruit.  Good  luck  y'all  -  Curly  E  &  Rocket  Reek 


David  Woods 


Well  we  finally  made  it!  Eleven  and  2/3  years  and  it's  time  to  write  something  about  graduating.  Even  though 
I  was  only  at  SMU  for  a  year,  for  all  those  pet>ple  who  had  warned  me  how  bad  it  would  be  here.  I  invite  them 
to  try  Grade  12  at  any  other  school  and  compare!  I  will  leave  with  a  great  many  memories:  easy  Histon,'  tests 
and  impossible  French  tests  (although  I  did  learn  something),  the  "little  notes  on  this"  in  Chemistry  !  1  (yeah!!). 
I  enjoyed  Mr.  Skinner's  English  class  and  his  video-watching  concepts  (Don't  forget  to  check  those  exam  marks. 
LeiP)  I  tried  to  sleep  through  Algebra  but  had  to  tr>'  Mr.  Laidlaw's  "msoluble"  problems  in  Physics.  There  were 
lots  of  good  times,  especially  soccer  with  KW.  JM,  and  NI  on  Papa  Cordle's  awesome  1st  XI.  The  three  game 
season  was  short  but  sweet,  and  thrashing  the  Juniors  regularly  was  fun,  GchxI  luck  to  them  next  year,  except

Suzanne  Wright 


Hailing  from  the  Great  WTiite  Nonh  though  never  claiming  it  Suzanne  arrived  at  SMU  in  Grade  10.  Pnvate  school 
was  a  shock  to  the  system  of  a  public  school  student  like  Suzanne,  uniforms  and  actual  respect  for  teachers  were 
a  new'  experience.  The  Robertson  II  was  a  great  holiday  in  Grade  10.  of  course  being  partnered  with  JW  was  quite 
an  experience  (did  she  EVER  get  an  essay  in  *).  We  had  a  great  time.  Grade  11  was  a  real  hike  (right  Megan!), 
between  scoring  basketball  with  LR  and  sailing  with  KW  and  a  spastic  Mr.  P.  We  did  have  a  good  time.  Delia 
falls  with  MS  was  ftjn  but  hiking  and  camping  are  not  good  for  a  warm  blooded  creature  like  Suzanne,  especially 
in  the  rain.  Chem  Labs  were  Suzanne's  nemesis,  peace  keeping  between  IW  and  LW  was  a  big  chore.  This  year 
Suzanne  spends  her  time  illegally  munching  and  frantically  copying  homework  in  the  basement  of  Challoner  with 
friends.  She  intends  to  take  engineering  at  UVic  next  year  and  have  a  great  time  at  it.  Good  luck  SMUites  and 
tr>'  not  to  get  too  involved  with  Mt.  Tolmie  next  year. 


Kazue  Yanagitani 


Kaz  in  Grade  10  with  her  weekly  15  spares  became  incredibly  adept  at  skipping  chapel,  classes,  hilorial  and  break- 
ing the  school  rules  During  her  three  years  at  SMU.  Kaz  has  threatened  many  times  that  she  would  leave  -  but 
always  ended  up  returning  we  think  because  of  the  'S'  men  .  .  .  Her  shyness  is  slowly  fading.  She  has  gone  from 
"Hr's  to  asking  questions,  good  for  you  Kaz!  The  Cookie  Monster  that  filled  her  thoughts  in  Grade  1 1  soon 
was  replaced  by  the  Beaver  and  Physics  help  ...  do  you  really  need  it  Kaz?  Her  future  ambitions  are  hazy;  she 
hopes  to  go  either  to  U  V.I.C,  U.P.S.,  or  U  of  W.  Once  there  she  hopes  there  will  be  no  Room  202,  which  is 
similar  to  room  lOH!  (1984).  1  will  miss  you  Kaz  -  remember  always  "moon".

Tom  Yardley 


My  name  is  Thomas  Yardley.  or  more  commonly  known  as  Harley.  I  came  from  my  homeland.  Sallspring  Island,  in  the  third  term 
of  Grade  8  Having  adapted  lo  the  "culrure  shock"  of  a  new  school.  I  passed  Grade  8  with  ease  In  Grade  9  I  was  a  member  of 
the  Dorm  36  rebels  which  included:  G.G..  M  V.C.  P.N.G.,  D.G..  J  M  .  and  Jim  M,  We  held  dorm  raids  on  all  other  dorms  and 
caused  havoc,  much  to  the  dismay  of  "the  King".  IHL,  Then  on  the  last  night  of  the  second  term  ii  all  began  The  morning  after 
the  night  before  I  awoke  to  Jeff  Mann  laughing  at  my  face  and  something  on  my  neck  My  reign  began.  In  Grade  10  1  moved  in 
with  Jeff  Zohrab  at  the  Klebber  to  International  House.  This  is  where  Boo  came  into  my  life,  and  still  is  to  this  very  day.  Various 
weekends  passed  and  Marin  still  laughed  at  my  face  Apart  from  these  hitches.  Grade  10  passed  relatively  smoothly  Grade  1 1  saw 
a  move  into  the  "classiest"  room  of  my  life  with  E.N.  and  G  S  One  term  was  enough  and  Dorm  302  disbanded  after  the  X-Mas 
break  G  &  E  moved  lo  203  and  I  moved  m  with  Jammin"  Jason  Mabee  and  Jordan  Bennell  Converting  Jason  from  rap  to  traditional 
music  proved  a  failure.  Nevertheless  Jordan  kepi  us  both  amused.  I  was  a  member  of  the  Mexico  Trip,  on  which  I  had  the  greatest 
time  of  my  life.  Memorable  moments  include  driving  scooters  and  14  days  that  I  can't  remember  entirely.  In  the  third  term,  while 
trying  out  to  be  a  prefect.  JM.  and  myself  decided  to  take  a  week-long  holiday  My  hopes  for  being  a  prefect,  however,  were  not 
totally  destroyed,  1  am  a  senior  monitor  along  with  S.N.  in  Harvey  House  The  first  weekend  ended  in  a  trick  and  thus  ending  my 
reign  (more  details  in  the  supplement)  Although  I  am  not  into  sports.  I  was  a  member  of  the  Sultans  of  Cheese  road  hockey  leam. 
I  have  enjoyed  Grade  1 2  but  my  favonle  grade  was  the  ninth  I  hope  to  go  to  Western  or  UBC  or  Carleton  To  my  fellow  classmates. 
I  sincerely  wish  you  all  the  best,  (except  for  Boo!!)  To  fellow  cheeseballs,  remember,  it's  not  something  you  do  once  in  a  while. 
It  is  a  way  of  life. 


Justin  Yau 


'"Youuuoh"  -  Shut  up  Grizz 
"What's  your  name?" 
"Eh?" 

"Do  you  speak  English''  WHAT-IS-YOUR-NAME''" 

Well,  this  is  the  first  day  Justine  -  oops,  sorry  -  JUSTIN  -  came  to  one  of  the  chaotic  second  fioor  dorms  in  International  House 
at  St.  Michaels  -  not  very  fluent  in  English. 
"Are  you  from  Hong  Kong?" 

"Huh**  Oh??!  -  Yeh."  -  Ahh,  finally  a  sign  of  communication! 

From  then  on  everything  started  lo  go  fairly  well  ...  at  least,  he  survived  his  first  year  at  SMU  in  Grade  10.  and  went  on  "suc- 
cessfully" 10  his  grad  year.  Please  don't  get  me  wrong  -  I  do  mean  he  had  three  successful  years.  A  gifted  goalie  in  soccer,  he 
makes  the  spectacular  look  routine,  and  the  routine  spectacular.  He  appeared  in  the  Times-Colonist  newspaper  for  being  a  member 
of  the  International  Soccer  Stars  when  his  team,  the  Grade  10  Colts,  captured  the  ISA  Colts  soccer  crown  Justine  -  sorry,  again 
-  JUSTIN  has  also  a  very  creative  mind  which  properly  helps  him  to  become  one  of  the  best  artists  in  the  school  In  Grade  1 1  Justin 
(Ha.  I  got  It  right  this  time),  turned  his  attention  to  a  new  sfXJrt,  badminton,  and  did  equally  well  while  he  was  still  on  the  2nd  XI! 
A  strong  B-team  member  who  became  part  of  the  A-ieam  nucleus  in  Grade  12.  and  leads  the  team  for  broken  racket  strings!  (He 
also  leads  the  team  for  not  showing  up  for  practises,  but  he  usually  shows  up  when  needed  in  a  game).  Outside  school.  Justin  is 
a  friendly  person,  an  awesome  snooker  player  who  also  plays  extremely  well  in  table  tennis  He  also  owns  a  Nintendo  set  and  a 
Hi-fi  system.  No  wonder  he  is  so  popular  among  his  fellow  students. 
"Yeaouuu  .  .  ." 
"Shut  up.  Gnzz." 

Justin  certainly  improved  his  English  quickly  as  well    The  scholl  will  certainly  miss  this  unique  character  and  we  all  wish  him  well 
in  his  post-graduation  studies  at  the  Emily  Carr  College  of  Art  and  Design 


Andrew  Yoo 


Andrew  Yoo  arrived  at  SMU  in  Grade  11  at  the  same  time  as  I  did.  We  moved  into  room  101  in  International 
House  with  "the  Klube".  That  year  was  defmitely  a  tough  year  for  both  of  us  but  we  enjoyed  it.  Andrew  was 
a  great  friend  and  sometimes  a  good  roommate  (except  when  he  complained  about  my  snoring).  He  took  advantage 
of  many  of  the  extra-cumcular  activities  the  school  offered;  he  played  team  rugby  on  the  thirds  and  team  soccer 
in  the  cold  and  mud.  During  his  two  years  he  also  became  a  rescue  scuba-diver.  The  one  thing  I'll  never  forget 
about  Andrew  is  how  much  he  played  his  guitar.  If  you've  got  to  practise  that  much  to  become  a  good  player, 
I'll  never  take  up  the  guitar.  I  really  enjoyed  being  with  Andrew  for  these  two  years  and  I  hope  he  had  fiin  at 
SMU  and  1  wish  him  all  the  best  for  the  future.

Alana  Yuill 


Alana  arrived  in  Grade  10  from  the  sophisticated  hills  of  Switzerland.  During  her  first  years  at  SMU  she  spent 
many  an  evening  with  those  older  Grade  12's  (DF,  LE,  DM.  JL).  Alana  also  spent  many  hours  playing  soccer 
for  her  favorite  teacher.  Mr.  Mclntyre  and  countless  hours  preparing  debates  for  Mr,  Featherstone.  Alana  found 
the  social  life  one  of  the  more  interesting  aspects  of  SMU.  She  was  known  as  the  girl  who  danced  all  night  in 
Mexico.  She  will  never  forget  the  art  of  cleaning  a  car  or  walking  through  Uplands  (or  rather,  running).  The 
tour  of  McGill  was  one  of  our  more  sobering  adventures  (Like  Hi.  my  name  is  Joeile.  I  go  to  McGill  -  and  I 
like  it  here).  Another,  those  two  young  boys  from  Winchester.  Alana  plans  to  study  political  science  at  Carleton 
or  follow  in  PC's  footsteps  and  go  to  UBC.  Whatever  she  decides  to  do.  she  will  keep  drmking  very  large  glasses 
of  orange  juice  with  CM  and  TH  in  the  booming  metropolis  of  Invermere.  She  will  be  remembered  for  her  "sto- 
ries" and  her  beautiful  smile. 
Keep  on  reelin'  'em  in! 
Love  (the  4  partners  in  crime)

S.M.U.  enjoyed  another  splendid  year  in  this  Commonwealth  wide  competition. 
All  the  participants  from  the  senior  campus  were  certificate  winners  at  the  provin- 
cial level.  Five  went  on  to  gain  success  in  London  along  with  three  who  completed 
their  essays  while  still  in  the  Middle  School. 

The  chief  examiner's  report  from  London  indicated  that  we  were  the  top  school 
in  British  Columbia.  Noted  for  a  special  commendation  were  Danielle  Topliss  and 
Suzanne  Obdrzalek  who  have  gained  top  awards  there  for  two  consecutive  years.

2nd  Row 

L.  to  R.:  Adrian  Behennah.  Sasha  Edgell,  Mr   Murdoch,  Peryl  Cain.  Paul  Ford. 

Once  again  the  students  at  S.M.U.  have  cause  to  be  grateful  to  their  council  representatives.  Much  hard  work 
has  gone  on  behind  the  scenes  and  the  members  have  been  diligent  in  presenting  the  points  of  view  of  their  peers 
concerning  many  aspects  of  school  life.  I  was  particularly  impressed  with  the  responsible  manner  in  which  information 
was  collected  from  the  student  body  for  the  council's  report  on  the  1989-90  exam  schedule.  Also  pleasing  of  course 
was  the  Headmaster's  response.  It  is  gratifying  to  see  democracy  in  action. 

My  thanks  to  a  fine  team  of  conscientious  representatives.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  working  with  you. 

K.A.  Murdoch, 
Chairman

The  1990  "Bratwurst  Express"  was  a  great  success  thanks  to  the  fantastic  leadership 
of  Frau  Thatcher  and  Mr.  Cameron.  Our  group  of  28  saw  a  full  range  of  attractions  and 
experienced  the  culture  and  cuisine  of  Germany,  Austria.  Holland  and  even  a  bit  of  France. 
Our  3  week  trip  included  stops  in  12  cities:  Amsterdam,  Hamburg,  Berlin,  Vienna,  Salzburg, 
Munich,  Lindau,  Colmar,  Heidelberg,  Cologne  and  Den  Haag.  As  each  city  brings  fond 
memories  to  us,  we're  sure  we've  brought  unforgettable  memories  to  stunned  citizens  us- 
ing public  transpon  as  they  will  recall  the  many  packs  and  bags  that  bowled  them  over 
each  time  we  got  on  a  bus.  When  we  arrived  at  our  first  destination,  we  were  grateful  to 
finally  escape  our  9'/;  hour  trip  through  hell,  only  to  become  tourist  targets  of  Amster- 
dam 's  killer  trains  and  bicyclists.  However,  Dennis  and  Co.  proved  to  have  adjusted  quickly 
as  they  promptly  got  themselves  lost  in  the  Red  Light  District  (hmmm  .  .  .  was  it  really 
"lost"?).  Everyone  must  agree  that  the  highlight  of  the  trip  was  the  25  km.  trek  to  the 
Berlin  Wall,  which  was  well  worih  it.  Other  highlights  included  the  opera,  various  castles, 
churches  and  cathedrals,  and  of  course  the  concentration  camp  in  Dachau,  which  suspicious- 
ly resembled  our  hostel  back  in  Berlin.  Scott  F's  patronizing  voice  ("Is  that  bag  getting 
heeeaaavy?")  won't  be  forgotten  by  any  of  his  unfortunate  victims.  We  must  also  com- 
mend Frau  for  her  admirable  job  in  abstaining  from  killing  Andrew.  And  yes.  Andrew, 
it  was  good!

SMU  Math  90 

Nineteen  ninety  was  an  unprecedented  year  for 
S.M.U.  in  the  math  competitions  at  all  grade 
levels.  In  the  Pascal  (Gr.  9),  the  team  of  Chris 
Drohomirecki,  Jahangir  Charania  and  Matthew 
Franklin  placed  third  in  B.C.  and  ninth  in  Can- 
ada with  7  students  on  the  Canadian  Honour  Roll 
(top  1%  in  Canada).  In  the  Cayley  (Gr.  10),  the 
team  of  Dylan  Smith,  Choshu  Ito  and  Jennifer 
Ellis  placed  fifth  in  B.C.  and  twelfth  in  Canada, 
with  11  students  on  the  Canadian  Honour  Roll. 
For  the  first  time  in  the  school's  history,  SMU 
placed  first  in  Canada  on  the  grade  11  Fermat, 
with  the  team  of  Mark  Van  Raamsdonk,  James 
Morley  and  David  Radick.  A  record  13  students 
made  the  Canadian  Honour  Roll.  In  the  grade 
12  Euclid  competition,  SMU  demolished  all  of  its 
B.C.  competition,  coming  out  way  ahead  in  the 
team  of  three,  the  team  of  five,  and  the  team  of 
ten.  The  team  of  Mark  Van  Raamsdonk,  JeffZoh- 
rab  and  Ian  Archibald  placed  a  close  second  in 
Canada.  In  the  American  High  School  Mathe- 
matics Examination,  SMU  finished  first  in  its  re- 
gion, which  includes  2  provinces  and  8  states. 
Nine  students  made  the  honour  roll.  With  so 
much  mathematical  talent  at  all  grade  levels,  and 
an  excellent  crew  of  math  teachers,  SMU  looks 
forward  to  a  bright  future.

Boarding  Report 


In  many  ways,  this  year  marks  the  end  of  an  era  in  residence. 

An  unusually  large  group  of  boy  borders  who  have  been  here 

for  a  long  time  (6  or  7  years)  graduated.  Along  with  them,  Mrs. 

Merrell  Harlow  decided  that  it  was  time  for  her  to  move  on 

too.  It  is  quite  remarkable  to  realize  that  Merrell  has  taken  care 

of  every  girl  border  to  have  graduated  from  this  school  up  until 

this  time.  Before  their  existance,  she  was  responsible  for  the 

"tads"  in  Harvey  House.  She  has  spent  twenty  years  of  her 

^ ,     ^^      ^  life  looking  after  our  boarding  students  who  summed  it  all  up 

Ir^^^    ^■-'  -  very  simply  when  they  presented  Merrell  with  a  Roy  Vickers 

■1%     ^  painting  with  the  inscription  "Thanks  for  all  the  caring."  We 

WML     ^m"  *'  wish  Merrell  much  peace  and  quiet,  living  in  her  own  house 

Wmm    ^m  _^^^  at  last,  and  hope  that  in  the  quiet  moments,  she  will  recall  many 

JKi  i^^^Hll  happy  memories  of  her  life  at  S.M.U.  International  House  has 

seen  some  changes  this  year.  Mr.  Rhodri  Samuel  took  over  the 
house  in  September,  and  much  interest  was  stimulated  by  the 
arrival  of  his  first  child  just  before  the  end  of  the  school  year. 
We  hope  that  the  family  will  remain  contented  through  the  hurly 
burly  of  boarding  life  over  the  next  few  years. 
Amongst  all  of  the  excitement,  the  House  functioned  extremely  well.  With  a  new  style  of  leadership  the 
boys  quickly  realized  the  expectations  were  going  to  be  high  and  that  there  was  little  room  for  manoeuvre. 
A  strong  support  team  of  Messrs.  M.  Owen-Flood,  P.  O'Fee  and  B.  Kuklinski  ensured  consistency  in  dealing 
with  the  students.  The  prefects:  Jeff  Zohrab,  Chris  Clarke,  Dirk  Gombos,  Sean  Ewart,  Lucas  Chambers  and 
Danny  Ma,  had  a  good  blend  and  understanding  with  their  charges  leading  to  an  overall  happy  and  productive 
House. 

Harvey  House  was  also  blessed  with  a  strong  and  united  team.  Mr.  Evan  Jones  worked  tirelessly  to  keep 
the  morale  and  activity  high  and  was  impressively  supported  by  Messrs.  N.  Coghlan,  D.  Craig,  and  O.  Jost. 
A  special  mention  here  for  Mrs.  Barbara  Leonard  who  did  much  of  the  behind  scenes  work  organizing  the 
boys  and  mothering  everybody. 

I  was  delighted  to  see  so  many  of  the  Harvey  House  boys  receiving  awards  at  the  Middle  School  Prize  Day. 
This  augers  well  for  the  future. 

I  would  also  like  to  thank  the  many  senior  boys  and  girls  who  helped  to  look  after  our  Harvey  House  boarders 
during  the  year.  A  special  mention  here  to  Jason  Dearborn  and  Michael  Crape  who  led  the  prefects  in  the  House. 
Returning  to  the  New  Residence,  an  outstanding  job  was  done  on  both  sides  of  the  House  by  the  prefects. 
Renee  Dugan,  Christy  Madson,  Andrea  Sharpe,  Nalini  Joneja,  Julie  Platz  and  Niamh  Donnelly,  on  the  girl's 
side  and  Sasha  Angus,  Greg  Clarke,  Craig  Parish,  Alex  Schutte,  Mark  Longridge  and  Mark  Stock  on  the 
boy's  side.  Luke  Von  Maldeghem  and  Rose  Alkoff  also  did  a  fine  job  keeping  the  House  in  tidy  order. 

Merrell  Harlow  was  ably  assisted  by  Messrs.  J.  Goodwin  and  G.  Nugent  and  Ms.  Joanne  Cowan  in  the 
smooth  running  of  the  House. 

I  was  personally  very  pleased  to  see  the  Grade  12  boarders  take  a  leading  role  in  the  variety  of  activities 
organized  by  the  Grad  class  this  year.  These  long  term  boarders  have  certainly  learned  the  meaning  of  com- 
munity living  and  team  commitment. 

In  fact,  in  general,  the  boarders  gave  up  an  inordinate  amount  of  time  helping  out  at  school  functions,  as 
well  as  a  noticeable  upsurge  in  the  amount  of  time  spent  doing  volunteer  work  in  the  community.  It  is  a  very 
busy  life,  but  in  most  cases  a  rewarding  one. 

Peter  Tongue 
(Director  of  Residence)

the  Spring  Concert  and  Speech  Day. 
Some  of  the  events  to  be  remem- 
bered were  Paul  Malin  's  beautiful  ren- 
dition of ' 'Round  Midnight' '  with  the 
senior  stage  band,  Christine  McKay 
singing  '  'I  Hate  Men ' '  with  believable 
conviction;  Mr.  Buckingham's  bag- 
pipe solo  on  Remembrance  Day;  Jeff 
Zohrab's  outrageous  guitar  solos  on 
"Hot  Wire"  with  the  senior  stage 
band  and  Chris  Dyson 's  amazing  per- 
formance of  Beethoven 's  third  piano 
concerto  with  the  senior  orchestra  un- 
der the  direction  of  Miss  Cowan  who 
left  at  the  end  of  the  year  to  teach 
"back  east".  Mr.  MacKay  and  Mrs. 
Humphreys  will  continue  on  in  1990 
with  the  help  of  Miss  Trudi  Conrad 
in  strings. 
A  few  of  the  ensembles  from 
1989/90  are  pictured

Grade  10  Band 


Grade  10  String  Quartet 


This  year's  Grade  10 
Band  was  a  very  fine  group 
of  instrumentalists.  Many 
of  the  Grade  10  players 
performed  in  the  Brass 
Ensemble,  Stage  Band  and 
Orchestra.  The  Grade  10 
Band  played  at  the  Fall 
concert  in  November  and 
at  the  Spring  concert  in 
May.  Mr.  MacKay  helped 
several  individuals  to  de- 
velop their  soloing  tech- 
nique with  exceptional 
results.  The  Grade  10 
Band's  rendition  of  the 
"Chromatic  Chromag- 
non ' '  at  the  Spring  concert 
met  with  much  applause. 
It  featured  soloists  Bryce 
Dearborn,  Paul  Malin, 
Tony  Talarico,  Justin 
Mark,  Jamie  Scott  and 
Ann  Behennah.  We  look 
forward  to  an  even  more 
successful  Grade  11  Band 
next  year. 


Senior  Stage  Band 


Senior  Stage  Band 


The  Senior  Stage  Band  was  made  up  of  primarily  Grade  11  and  12  students.  All  band  members  will  remember 
the  infamous  rehearsals  on  Monday  and  Wednesday  mornings.  The  group  performed  a  variety  of  music  at  both 
the  Fall  and  Summer  musical  evenings,  as  well  as  participating  in  two  jazz  festivals  in  Nanaimo  and  at  UVIC. 
The  band  also  played  at  the  Junior  and  Middle  Schools  as  well  as  for  Auxiliary  functions.  Although  many  mem- 
bers of  the  group  were  lost  to  graduation,  next  year's  group  will  be  just  as  promising. 

A  special  thanks  to  Mr.  MacKay. 


117 


Senior  Brass  Ensemble 


This  year  saw  the  bringing 
together  of  a  five  person  brass 
ensemble.  The  five  brass  play- 
ers, Kersten  Gustafsen,  Aye- 
let  Porzecanski,  Charles 
Romaniuk,  Jamie  Scott, 
Paul  Malin,  practiced  their 
melodious  tunes  every  Thurs- 
day at  lunchtime  with  Mr. 
MacKay.  They  learned  a 
large  repertoire  of  Christmas 
carols  and  the  very  ambitious 
piece  called  "Ave  Verum". 
This  group  went  largely  un- 
noticed during  the  fall  term. 
Their  moment  of  glory  was  the  Christmas  concert  where  they  delighted  us  with  carols  from  way  up  in  the  organ 
pit.  All  of  these  players  also  sacrificed  time  to  the  concert  band,  jazz  band,  and/or  orchestra  as  well.  Good  job,  guys!

Choir 


Grade  10  Choir 

This  year  was  an  exceptional  year  for  the  S.M.  U.  choir.  It  was  Mrs.  Humphrey's  first  year  teaching  music  at  S.M.  U. 
and  she  has  proven  herself  to  be  an  enthusiastic  and  sympathetic  teacher.  Some  of  the  favourite  selections  this  year 
were  "Memories"  and  "The  Music  Of  The  Night"  from  Andrew  Lloyd  Weber's  "Cats"  and  "The  Phantom  Of  The 
Opera",  "Tears  Are  Not  Enough",  and  "Every  Time  I  Feel  The  Spirit"  (with  Mr.  Cordle  as  soloist,  of  course!). 
The  best  after  school  sessions  included  singing  carols  at  the  Eric  Martin  Pavillion  and  at  the  S.M.  U.  Christmas  Ser- 
vice. It  was  a  great  start,  and  we  know  that  next  year  will  be  just  as  enjoyable.

Alpha  and  Omega 


The  theatrical  production  of  Alpha  and  Omega  originated  as  an  improvisational  exercise  in  Mr.  Skinner's  drama 
class. 

Four  grade  ten  actors  Kirsten  Benzon,  Natalie  Alvarez,  Tammy  Passmore  and  Lisa  Angus,  along  with  stage 
manager  Joanna  Piercy,  successfully  developed  their  skit  into  an  intense  one  act  play.  The  production  explored 
the  theme  of  acceptance  of  mortality  among  the  terminally  ill. 

It  was  performed  during  three  lunch  hours  in  front  of  the  internationally  renowned,  intellectually  superior  minds 
which  conglomerately  form  a  system  we  fondly  refer  to  as  '  'St.  Michaels  University  School. ' '  Later,  the  play  was 
entered  in  a  regional  drama  festival,  where  it  acquired  awards  including  Best  Canadian  Script  and  Best  Actress 
(Natalie  Alvarez). 

Alpha  and  Omega  is  an  enlightening  example  of  the  timeless  accomplishments  of  which  the  gifted  are  capable. 
We  salute  Mr.  Skinner  for  his  hair.

Kiss  Me  Kate 


St.  Michaels  musical  production  this  year  was  Kiss 
Me  Kate,  written  by  Sam  and  Bella  Spewack.  Mr.  Colin 
Skinner  once  again  took  over  the  director's  chair,  Mr. 
Reid  took  hold  of  his  magical  baton  and  conducted  the 
orchestra,  and  Mrs.  Humphreys  worked  many  hours 
with  the  chorus  and  soloists  to  make  sure  they  all  knew 
their  words  and  notes!  Kim  Brieland  also  returned  to 
spritz  up  the  production  with  dancing.  Finally,  we  had 
actors,  singers,  dancers  and  musicians  working  together 
to  put  on  Kiss  Me  Kate. 

The  musical  was  a  play  within  a  play.  The  actors  in 
KMK  were  playing  actors  in  Shakespeare's  "Taming 
of  the  Shrew".  We  had  many  unforgettable  highlights 
during  our  3  performances.  It  isn  't  often  that  we  see 
Dan  Fill  and  Dave  Taylor  in  leotards!  And  how  many 
stools  did  Christine  Mackay  (Kate)  actually  break  while 
gladly  throwing  them  across  the  stage?  Many  people 
put  in  many  long  hours  of  rehearsals.  The  final 
product  was  well  worth  it.

The  1989-1990  season  was  a  great  success.  The  Blue  Devils  finished  with  a  22-14  record.  Great  chemistry  developed 
as  the  season  progressed.  Players  worked  extremely  hard  at  achieving  their  dreams  as  a  team.  We  reached  the  finals 
of  the  Cowichan  Welcome  Back  tournament,  losing  a  hard  fought  final  against  Oak  Bay  70-66,  after  leading  by  11 
in  the  fourth  quarter.  We  received  our  first  invitation  to  the  16  team  Police  tournament,  a  premiere  AAA  event. 
In  January  we  travelled  to  the  Totem  tourney  in  Port  Albemi,  reaching  the  finals  before  losing  to  an  all-star  team 
from  Adelaide  South  Australia.  February  1-3  saw  our  participation  in  our  4th  annual  Blue  Devil  Classic.  We  won 
our  first  game,  but  lost  tough  games  against  Nechako  Valley,  Agassiz  and  Lambrick  Park.  The  highlight  of  the  season, 
and  perhaps  the  most  exciting  game  in  our  history  took  place  February  6th,  against  number  one  ranked  Lambrick 
Park.  Unbeaten  in  league  play  and  overwhelming  favorites,  the  Lions  ran  into  "true  grit".  The  Blue  Devils  "dia- 
monded and  oned"  and  full  court  pressed  relentlessly.  With  7  seconds  remaining  and  trailing  by  2  points  and  with 
possession  of  the  ball,  the  Blue  Devils  moved  the  ball  from  deep  in  their  own  end.  With  the  ball  in  David  Skulbru 's 
able  hands,  we  attacked.  Under  extreme  pressure  and  with  time  running  out  "Skullers"  launched  a  shot  from  "down- 
town". To  the  delight  of  SMU  screaming  fans  the  ball  went  through  the  hoop!  What  followed  was  bedlam. 

The  low  point  of  our  season  took  place  in  the  Vancouver  Island  championships  at  Campbell  River.  Winning  our 
first  match,  we  played  Robron  in  the  semis,  losing  a  heartbreaker  in  overtime.  On  Saturday  with  a  chance  still  of 
advancing  to  the  Provincials,  we  beat  Ballenas  in  the  morning,  setting  up  a  third  place  match  against  the  hosts,  Carihi. 
In  a  classic  match  up  with  2  tired  but  excellent  ball  teams,  the  Blue  Devils  fell  one  basket  short  in  a  magnificent  effort. 

Individual  highlights  included  David  Skulbru 's  multi-accomplishments.  He  tied  Martin  Brooks '  record  against  Lam- 
brick Park  with  43  points  (including  an  all-time  record  of  9  three-pointers)  and  50  points  against  St.  Georges.  Only 
5'9",  but  with  determination  and  skill  extra-ordinaire,  David  became  a  school  legend  as  a  ball  handler  and  shooter. 
We  hope  he  will  join  Peter  White  as  our  second  player  ever  in  the  University  ranks.  Co-captain  Tom  Duke  will  be 
remembered  as  a  team  player  and  leader.  Although  Tom  did  not  receive  many  individual  acolades,  he  had  a  fine  senior 
session.  The  improved  play  of  Ian  Hulme,  Nate  Lampard  and  Eric  Hotton  also  played  a  vital  part  in  the  team 's  success. 

I  would  like  to  thank  the  grade  ll's  that  contributed  a  great  deal:  Jason  Reynolds,  Jeremy  Cordle,  Max  Humphreys, 
Dave  Radick,  Gerald  Ip,  Dave  Hamilton  and  Rob  McTavish.  I  know  your  senior  session  will  be  great.  A  special  con- 
gratulation to  our  superb  managers  Philip  Kayal  and  Leif  Reinhold  -  two  of  the  very  best!  Moreover,  our  program 
would  not  work  without  the  fine  scorers  and  timers  that  put  in  countless  hours.  Our  appreciation  of  your  effort,  espe- 
cially the  co-ordinators  Jim  Martin  and  Vanson  Field,  goes  I  hope  without  saying  -  thank  you  very  much!

A  tremendous  amount  of  talent  was  available  for  this  year's  Junior  Boys  Basketball  team,  and  with  it  came  great 
expectations.  Solid  preseason  results,  and  winning  the  prestigious  Island-Mainland  Challenge  in  Nanaimo  in  January 
seemed  to  confirm  this  potential,  and  so,  despite  formidable  obstacles  in  the  form  of  city  rivals  Arbutus  and  Spencer, 
Up-Island  power  Albemi  and  several  tough  Vancouver  schools,  it  became  clear  that  anything  less  than  a  provincial 
championship  would  be  a  disappointment. 

Alas,  the  disappointment  came  in  the  shape  of  a  50-39  provincial  semi-final  loss  to  Spencer,  whom  we  had  beaten 
twice  relatively  easily  earlier  in  the  year.  After  two  excellent  performances  in  the  big  event  versus  R.C.  Palmer  and 
Brookswood,  we  chose  the  wrong  time  to  play,  inexplicably,  one  of  our  poorest  games  of  the  year.  Full  credit  to  Spencer 
who  played  well,  but  a  horror  show  of  missed  shots,  unforced  turnovers,  and  freak  bounces  more  accurately  told  the 
tale!  A  comeback  54-52  win  over  Abbotsford  the  next  afternoon  for  3rd  place  was  somehow  little  consolation. 

Congratulations  to  all  team  members  for  hard  work  and  steady  improvement.  A  36-7  win-loss  record  represents 
notable  achievement,  even  if  the  penultimate  game  of  the  season  presented  a  bitter  pill. 

My  thanks  to  you  all  -  let  us  learn  from  our  errors  and  look  ahead  to  the  challenge  of  next  season.  The  1990-91 
Senior  team  should  certainly  be  a  provincial  AA  contender  -  Hard  work  and  best  of  luck!!

Basketball:  Junior  Girls 


This  year's  Junior  Girls  Basketball  team  was  comprised  mainly  of  grade  9's,  with  only  two  grade  lO's  to 
add  any  experience  at  this  level.  Despite  a  slow  start,  the  team  started  to  gel,  led  by  Cari  Burdett  at  center, 
Paige  Macdonald  and  Allison  Garwood  at  guard,  and  captain  Nancy  Marks  at  the  swing  position.  The  team 
finished  one  point  out  of  the  playoffs  in  the  City  League,  but  won  the  I.S.A.  tournament  in  dramatic  fashion, 
undefeated  and  unscathed.  Tremendous  individual  improvement  was  seen  in  the  play  of  Lauren  Gainor,  Al- 
lison Burdett,  Kim  Wahl  and  Jessica  Chant,  while  the  popular  player  for  the  fans  was  late  comer  Dana  ("Jes- 
sica") Hahn.  With  the  experience  gained  in  the  rough  and  tumble  work-like  atmosphere  of  the  "B"  division, 
the  girls  should  do  well  next  year  in  the  more  skilled  "A"  division.

As  the  teams  were  made  up  of  young,  inexperienced  runners  this  was 
originally  thought  to  be  a  building  year  for  the  Cross  Country  program. 
Fortunately,  to  the  delight  of  all  twenty-eight  members  and  coach  L.  Ke- 
ziere, both  teams  enjoyed  a  successful  season. 

The  boys'  team,  led  by  a  grade  10  Kevin  Ewari,  grade  12  Colin  Brown, 
grade  10  Jim  Anderson,  grade  11  David  Radick  and  grade  10  Jason  Wint- 
ers placed  third  at  the  Island  Championship  and  an  outstanding  SEC- 
OND at  the  B.C.  High  School  Provincial  Championship,  which  took  place 
at  Beacon  Hill  Park.  All  of  the  boys  performed  brilliantly  under  the  pres- 
sure especially  Colin 


Brown    who    lost    a 

shoe  400  metres  into 

the  race.  This  was  the 

third  year  in  a  row  that 

the   boys'    team    has 

placed  in  the  top  two 

at     the     Provincial 

Championship.  The  S.M.  U.  boys'  team  now  has  a  solid  reputation  in  the 

province. 

The  girls'  team,  led  by  S.M.U.  '$  1989  "most  improved  runner"  Jen- 
nifer Psyllakis  (gr.  12),  Pam  Lewis  (gr.  11),  Alayne  Dawlings  (gr.  10), 
Tanis  Wahl  (gr.  10)  and  Jennifer  Ellis  (gr.  10)  placed  fifth  at  the  Island 
Championship  and  a  respectable  19th  at  the  Provincial  Championship.

This  year  marked  the  beginning  of  a  Four  Race  Cycling  Series,  a  first  in  Canada.  S.M.  U.  '$  strength 
was  the  Mountain  Bike  Race  which  closed  the  season.  A  dedicated  core  of  riders  gave  strong  placings 
in  the  "Highlands  Off  Road  Race"  on  May  23rd.  In  Category  A  (18  &  under)  Alex  Wardle  (Grade 
11)  placed  fourth,  closely  followed  by  Adrian  Luckhurst  (Grade  11)  in  fifth  place.  Cari  Burdett  (Grade 

10)  won  the  Girl's  Race,  while  Jason  Winters  (Grade  10)  scorched  to  a  brilliant  second  place  in  Cat- 
egory C  (15  &  under).  S.M.U.  entered  twelve  riders  in  this  specialized  event. 

Mention  must  go  to  Todd  Scott  (Grade  12)  for  his  leadership  and  enthusiasm,  to  Tyler  Bruce  (Grade 

11)  as  the  most  improved  rider  of  the  year,  to  Andrew  Valle  (Grade  9)  and  Jason  Winters  (Grade 
10)  ,  who  all  show  much  promise,  and  finally  to  Alex  Wardle  (Grade  11),  winner  of  the  BEST  ALL 
ROUND  CYCLIST  TROPHY  for  his  constant  effort  and  all-round  ability  in  both  the  Road  and 
Mountain  bike  events. 

S.M.U.  finished  a  credible  SECOND  in  the  overall  league  standings  with  Cari  Burdett  (Grade 
10)  the  leader  of  Category  B  and  Jason  Winters  (Grade  10)  completing  the  season  in  Second  Place 
in  Category  C.

Field  Hockey:  Junior  Girls 

The  number  of  girls  wanting  to  play  for  the  1989 
Junior  Field  Hockey  Team  was  overwhelming. 
Each  girl  was  given  a  chance  to  try  out  for  the 
team  and  positions  were  shuffled  until  about  half 
way  through  the  season.  1  finally  came  up  with 
the  strongest  team.  In  the  City  League  we  won 
five  and  lost  two  games,  placing  6th.  This  meant 
we  had  to  accept  a  challenge  from  the  Mid-Island 
3  team  Cowichan,  to  go  to  the  Islands.  We  won 
the  game  in  sudden  death  overtime  by  a  powerful 
shot  from  Shanti  Atkins.  At  the  Islands,  the  girls 
put  out  an  outstanding  effort  but  kept  on  coming 
up  short.  Our  final  game  against  the  home  team 
Qualicum,  would  place  us  7th/8th  place.  The  game 
went  into  overtime,  sudden  death  overtime,  and  to  the  other  coach's  dismay,  penalty  flicks.  The  girls  had 
spent  the  entire  season  practising  and  this  was  definitely  their  time.  We  pulled  away  with  three  and  Lisa 
Angus,  our  goalie,  kept  them  at  zero.  No  special  mentions  are  made,  as  the  girls  began  their  season  as 
individuals  trying  to  make  a  team,  and  ended  as  the  1989  Junior  Field  Hockey  Team. 
A  Superb  Effort!

Rugby:  1st  XV 


Before  discussing  the  1st  XV  season,  I  would  like  to  mention  a  special  occasion  that  took  place  during  the  summer 
vacation  when  the  Canadian  National  team  took  on  Ireland  on  our  doorstep  at  Centennial  Stadium  in  the  University 
of  Victoria.  On  that  historic  day  for  the  school,  three  of  our  recent  alumni  played  alongside  each  other  representing 
their  country.  When  Gareth  Rees,  John  Graf  and  Bobby  Ross  took  the  field  there  was  an  immense  sense  of  pride 
in  their  accomplishments  and  a  great  deal  of  satisfaction  among  the  coaches  who  had  contributed  so  much  to  the 
success  of  our  rugby  program  over  the  years.  To  these  young  men  and  their  coaches,  I  offer  my  personal  congrat- 
ulations on  an  outstanding  achievement. 

The  season  opened  uncharacteristically  with  a  haka  as  the  school  hosted  St.  Peters  School  from  New  Zealand  just 
prior  to  term  starting.  Fortunately  the  haka  roused  our  players  more  than  theirs  and  we  ran  out  convincing  16-12 
winners.  This  got  our  season  off  to  a  flying  start,  something  we  needed  with  only  four  players  returning  from  last 
year's  1st  XV.  It  became  quickly  evident  that  we  would  have  a  powerful  pack  capable  of  crushing  weaker  opposition. 
In  attempting  to  play  an  open  running  game  we  showed  some  limitations  in  our  handling  ability  and  some  inconsistency 
among  some  scintillating  running  and  counter  attack  which  brought  several  memorable  tries. 

As  the  season  progressed,  the  team  suffered  a  loss  of  confidence  and  struggled  to  win  close  games  against  good 
opposition.  Having  been  rather  unlucky  to  lose  the  first  Brentwood  game  7-8,  we  were  well  beaten  3-20  in  the  second, 
giving  Brentwood  the  l.S.A  championship.  S.M.  U.  came  second.  The  team  recovered  well  to  record  a  13-4  win  against 
James  Bay  in  the  Division  4  play-off  semi-final  and  were  unfortunate  to  lose  to  a  powerful  U.  Vic.  Jutes  side  in  an 
entertaining  and  closely  fought  final  10-14.  It  was  in  many  ways  a  frustrating  season,  the  early  potential  never  quite 
being  realised.  It  is  hoped  that  the  tour  of  Ireland  and  Scotland  over  the  Spring  Break  will  give  the  team  the  oppor- 
tunity of  fulfilling  their  early  promise. 

My  thanks  to  Mr.  Ian  Hyde-Lay  for  his  tireless  support  and  Tom  Duke  and  the  players  for  providing  some  magic 
moments.

Rugby:  2nd  XV 


The  2nd  XV  were  the  slimmest  of  margins  away  from  an  unbeaten  season.  Indeed,  only  a  9-9  draw,  and  a  year 
ending  6-3  loss  to  Brentwood  deprived  the  team  of  an  unbeaten  record.  Alas,  these  two  results,  also  cost  the  team 
the  I.S.A.  Championship. 

The  team  was  something  of  a  mixture,  as  players  from  the  2nd  and  1st  XV' s  changed  place  frequently,  as  coaches 
searched  for  a  cohesive  unit.  Indeed,  some  30  players  eventually  represented  the  1st  XV,  and  so  by  extention,  did 
the  same  number  play  on  the  2nds. 

For  the  team,  until  their  late  season  call  up,  halfbacks  Richard  Stone  and  Jason  Penaluna  were  afiesty  talented 
pair,  while  the  front  row  of  Dirk  Gombos,  Don  Sutton  and  Susumo  Nojima,  battled  against  all  comers.  David  Adams 
was  a  pleasant  late  addition,  while  in  the  back  row.  Josh  Ball  was  a  tireless  worker. 

Many  of  the  group  who  finished  the  season  on  the  2nd  XV  journeyed  to  the  U.K.  and  Ireland  for  a  five  match 
tour.  It  was  a  fantastic  experience,  and  augurs  well  for  all  the  grade  ll's  returning  to  S.M.U.  in  September,  1990. 

To  those  graduated,  remember  that  Rugby  is  a  running,  handling  game.  At  times  you  did  it  well.  Enjoy  the  game 
at  all  times!

Rugby:  Under  16 


The  Colts  Rugby  squad  had  an  excellent  season.  We  played  in  both  the  ISA  league  and  in  the  City  Junior 
High  School  league.  Our  first  game  of  the  season  was  an  exhibition  match  against  Glenlyon-Norfolk  and 
we  began,  well  with  a  win  against  this  team.  We  played  through  the  City  league  and  remained  undefeated. 
This  brought  us  to  the  final  against  Oak  Bay  High  School  at  Oak  Bay.  The  squad  was  very  psyched  up 
for  this  game  and  we  destroyed  Oak  Bay  38-0.  Because  of  our  city-final  win,  we  qualified  for  the  Island 
playoffs  which  took  place  at  Shawnigan  Lake  School.  We  won  our  first  game  and  our  semi-final  game, 
which  meant  that  we  had  made  it  to  the  finals.  We  ended  up  playing  against  Shawnigan  and  after  a  very 
hard  game  we  were  defeated  4-0.  This  left  us  with  a  second  place  finish  on  the  Island.  In  Independent 
Schools  games,  we  played  very  well.  We  beat  Brentwood  College  twice,  St.  Georges,  and  Shawnigan  Lake 
School.  Probably  our  hardest  game  of  the  year  was  the  first  match  against  Shawnigan.  We  came  out  of 
this  game  with  a  4-4  tie.  During  the  Spring  Break,  the  squad  is  heading  over  to  the  U.K.  for  what  should 
turn  out  to  be  an  exciting  tour.  The  Colts  squad  worked  very  hard  this  year  and  we  improved  greatly. 
Many  thanks  go  to  Mr.  Samuel,  Mr.  Jones  and  Mr.  Parker  for  their  support  and  excellent  coaching.

Rugby:  Under  15 


The  Under  15  Rugby  Squad  enjoyed  a  successful  season,  playing  a  number  of  matches  against  both  I.S.A. 
and  High  School  opponents.  The  'A '  15  won  the  majority  of  the  games  comfortably,  but  were  twice  nar- 
rowly defeated  by  St.  Georges  in  the  I.S.A.  competition.  The  second  of  these  tussles,  played  in  appalling 
November  mud  and  rain,  was  a  truly  wonderful  encounter,  played  in  great  spirit,  with  no  quarter  sought 
orgiven.  The  jinal  result  of  11-7  in  favor  of  St.  Georges  gave  them  the  I.S.A.  title.  Matches  between  the 
two  sides  in  future  should  be  well  worth  watching. 

The  'A '  Team  pack  was  a  workmanlike  unit,  anchored  by  Jamie  Grier  in  the  Second  Row,  and  an  ag- 
gressive loose  forward  trio  in  Ilja  Herb,  Robert  Card  and  James  Goodier.  Behind  the  scrum,  John  Edgell 
was  an  industrious  scrum  half,  while  centres  Hywel  Jones  and  Robin  Forbes  were  superb  in  every  match. 

The  'B'  and  'C  XV's  rarely  fielded  the  same  side.  Everyone  received  lots  of  opportunity  to  play,  and 
tremendous  improvement  was  evident.  Certainly  several  players  such  as  Damian  Monroy,  David  Ha,  Andy 
Rippington  and  Ryan  McRae  will  make  their  mark  somewhere  in  the  Senior  School. 

Special  thanks  go  to  coaches  Doug  Parker  and  Bruce  Kuklinski,  who  worked  very  hard,  skillfully  and 
with  great  humour  all  through  the  season.

It  was  a  challenging  season  for  SMU  tennis  this  year.  Due  to  an  unexpected  illness,  Mr.  Featherstone  was  unable 
to  coach.  This  role  then  went  to  Al  Klieber,  the  tennis  coach  at  SMU  Racquet  Club,  who  did  an  excellent  job  faced 
with  such  a  responsibility. 

The  team  performed  quite  well.  It  qualified  for  the  Provincials  but  defaulted  to  Brentwood  as  exams  were  nearing 
and  the  majority  of  the  team  was  in  eleventh  grade.  Spectacular  is  the  only  word  to  describe  the  girls'  team  as  it 
was  successful  in  nearly  every  competition  it  played.  In  pursuits  not  directly  related  to  SMU  team  tennis,  Cathy  Lambe, 
among  others,  played  very  well  in  closed,  sanctioned  tournaments. 

All  in  all,  the  SMU  tennis  team  did  an  admirable  job  of  coping  with  the  various  difficulties  it  faced,  and  persevering 
regardless.  Congratulations  for  a  job  done  well.

Volleyball:  Senior  Girls 


With  a  concentration  on  total  team  play,  this  year's  Senior  Girls'  Volleyball  team  proved  to  be,  in  many  ways, 
the  school's  most  successjul  ever.  Under  the  leadership  of  three-year  veterans  Robin  Coombes  and  Justine  Jung 
and  the  first-ever  grade  11  team  captain,  Nadia  Herb,  the  team  won  SMU's  inaugural  eight-team,  mid-season 
tournament. 

With  the  success  of  that  tournament  came  the  confidence  to  carry  us  to  a  second-place  finish  in  the  Lower 
Island  championships  and  a  berth  in  the  Vancouver  Island  championship  tournament  for  the  third  time  in  four 
years.  Unfortunately,  some  early  two-point  losses  in  the  tournament  marred  our  overall  success;  however,  we 
did  manage  to  match  our  best-ever  result  by  finishing  seventh  on  the  Island. 

Besides  Justine  and  Robin,  the  team  bids  adieu  to  the  other  graduating  players  Niamh  Donnelly,  Julie  Mclay, 
and  Tamara  Rusnak  and  to  two-year  veteran  manager  Nalini  Joneja.  With  five  returning  players,  Lisa  Cohen, 
Sarah  Hentschel,  Christine  Tyson,  Liz  Walton,  and  Nadia,  next  season  promises  to  be  exciting.

Tuesday,  March  13th  -  and  well  before  dawn.  22  eager  tourists  set  off  on  a  five  match  tour  of  Scotland  and  Ireland.  For  many,  it  promised 
to  be  a  chance  to  repolish  a  tarnished  domestic  season.  Amazingly,  all  bags,  money  and  passports  were  on  hand  for  a  5:40  a.m.  departure. 
The  show  was  on  the  roaod.  Prestwick,  Scotland  was  the  destination  via  Vancouver  and  Toronto. 

After  training  for  two  days  in  Edinburgh,  we  transferred  to  Haddington  for  our  first  game  against  the  club  Colts  side.  It  was  a  well  cont- 
ested game  which  should  have  been  won  comfortably,  but  required  a  late  opportunist  try  by  Gordon  Reilly  to  secure  the  win  16-12.  The 
alt  important  first  game  victory  had  been  secured. 

A  fabulous  day  followed  when  we  were  fortunate  to  witness  the  Scottish  Grand  Slam  victory  over  "the  auld  enemy"  England  at  Mur- 
rayfield,  and  the  celebration  that  followed. 

Onto  the  beautiful  city  of  Glasgow  for  our  second  game  and  the  return  fixture  against  The  High  School.  Having  lost  to  them  here  in 
Victoria  last  October,  the  party  was  keen  to  redress  the  balance.  We  chose  to  play  a  limited  style  of  play  in  heavy  conditions  and  a  strong 
wind.  The  forwards  played  magnificently,  winning  more  than  their  fair  share  of  ball  and  supported  by  superb  tackling  by  the  backs,  the 
team  pulled  off  a  victory  10-3  in  a  game  of  great  emotion  and  spirit.  To  follow,  a  dinner  with  the  field  hockey  teams  and  a  momentous 
hour  of  Highland  Dancing  led  by  the  kilted  Mr.  McHyde-Lay. 

Time  to  move  on,  across  the  North  Sea  to  N.  Ireland  and  then  a  train  ride  to  Dublin.  Here  we  were  to  play  Belvedere  College,  one  of 
the  leading  schools  in  the  country.  The  game  was  to  kick  off  early  at  9:30  a.m.  as  we  were  to  be  the  "curtain  raiser"  to  a  Wales-Ireland 
'  'Golden  Oldies ' '  International.  Many  of  our  players  were  still  recovering  from  the  hard  Glasgow  game  and  we  found  ourselves  under  extreme 
pressure  throughout  the  first  half,  but  as  a  result  of  some  great  defence  only  conceded  one  score.  We  kept  working  hard  and  with  only 
fifteen  minutes  to  go  realised  we  were  still  in  the  game  at  10-7  down  but  with  a  strong  wind  at  our  backs. 

A  sizable  crowd  of  over  3.000  had  now  appeared  ready  for  the  game  to  follow,  but  became  fully  involved  in  our  attempts  to  salvage  a 
victory,  sparked  by  some  great  counter  attack,  and  elusive  running  by  Jeremy  Cordle.  When  word  spread  that  he  was  the  son  of  that  beloved 
Welshman  from  Glamorgan,  Tony  Cordle,  the  crowd  came  alive! 

Alas  the  win  eluded  us  and  there  was  no  further  scoring.  The  crowd  however  did  respond  with  spontaneous  applause  for  both  teams  at  the  end. 

After  the  Golden  Oldies  game,  featuring  many  of  the  stars  of  international  rugby  over  the  last  twenty  years,  it  was  on  to  Lansdowne 
Road  for  the  real  game  between  Ireland  and  Wales. 

Next  stop  was  in  the  West  of  Ireland  at  Glenstal  Abbey,  just  outside  Limerick.  Perfect  conditions  allowed  us  to  play  a  more  expansive 
game  and  although  we  were  not  on  top  form  we  had  a  very  creditable  20-  7  victory  with  Scott  McQueen  having  a  fine  game.  Glenstal  proved 
to  be  a  peaceful  respite  from  the  otherwise  hectic  tour  activity,  in  a  most  beautiful  setting. 

A  long  bus  journey  followed  to  our  last  stop,  another  highly  reputed  rugby  school  in  Ulster,  Ballymena  Academy.  The  boys,  now  gelled 
into  a  close-knit  unit,  were  ready  for  the  final  game.  The  game  was  a  real  heartbreaker  as  we  caught  the  Academy  flat-footed  but  failed 
to  press  the  advantage.  We  played  our  best  game  of  the  tour,  but  unfortunately  missed  several  makeable  penalties  early  on  and  two  clear 
try  scoring  opportunities.  In  the  second  half,  two  tries  disallowed  and  a  likely  penalty  try  not  awarded,  hurt  us  considerably  as  we  went 
down  12-9,  although  late  in  the  game  we  did  score  our  best  try  of  the  tour. 

An  outstanding  rugby  tour  has  done  much  to  restore  the  pride  and  spirit  of  the  side.  On  the  field  they  have  played  hard  and  fair.  Off 
the  field  they  have  been  fine  ambassadors  for  our  school  and  country. 

The  final  leg  was  a  relaxing  weekend  in  London,  seeing  the  sights,  buying  the  last  few  gifts  and  momentos  and  lots  of  stories  and  tales 
to  recount  as  we  met  up  with  our  girls'  field  hockey  and  colts'  rugby  tour  partners. 

Everywhere  we  went,  the  hospitality  and  generosity  were  unbelievable.  Overall,  it  was  fun  -  a  tour  to  remember.  Around  midnight  B.C. 
time,  a  tired  but  happy  crew  with  lots  of  great  memories  arrived  home.  Still,  it  is  good  to  be  back. 

It  would  be  remiss  of  me  not  to  take  this  opportunity  on  behalf  of  the  party  to  thank  Mr.  Ian  Hyde-Lay  for  all  of  the  hours  of  hard 
work  and  organization  to  make  the  tour  such  an  outstanding  success.  Bravo  Ollie!

THE  MIDDLE  SCHOOL 


'm^tf^&m^" 


Middle  School  Director's  Foreword 


The  school  year  1989-90  was  for  me  a  milestone  in  the  brief  history 
of  the  Middle  School.  The  transition  period  which  could  not  be  labelled 
"honeymoon"  is  behind  us  and  faculty  and  students  are  working  as  a 
team  to  create  a  school  climate  which  is  positive  indeed. 

This  school  year  has  been  replete  with  outstanding  accomplishments 
in  Math,  English,  computer.  Music,  Art  and  Athletics;  many  of  which 
are  referred  to  in  the  Awards  section  of  the  yearbook,  so  do  read  on. 

There  will  be  a  number  of  staff  changes  next  fall,  so  I  would  take  this 
opportunity  to  thank  the  following  teachers  for  their  contributions  to 
Middle  School;  Florence  Moorman,  Robert  Bearpark,  Tim  Tottenham, 
Junko  MacKinnon  and  Tsukiko  Tsutsuki.  We  wish  them  every  success 
in  their  future  endeavours. 

The  grade  VIII  class  of  1989-90  was  an  exceptional  one.  This  group 
of  highly  talented  individuals  will  be  a  great  asset  to  the  Senior  School 
and  continue  to  represent  S.M.U.S.  in  commendable  fashion.  We  en- 
courage them  to  compliment  us  with  an  occasional  visit  in  the  future. 

A  sincere  thank  you  to  everyone  who  contributed  to  the  Middle  School  over  the  past  year  and  with  your  continued 
support  the  next  one  will  be  even  more  rewarding. 

Marilyn  Levitt

A.  Regen. 

The  girls,  although  coming 
up  against  some  stiff  compe- 
tition, improved  upon  their 
skill  level  and  on  their  ability 
to  compete  with  some  of  the 
best  school  teams  on  the  Is- 
land. 


Grade  6/7

There  was  great  improvement 
from  all  the  players.  Well 
done!

The  team  had  an  outstanding  year.  They  went  undefeated  in  the  VISSA  league  and  continued  their  dominance  right  through 
to  the  final  tournament,  where  they  won  all  four  of  their  games  and  won  the  final  by  defeating  St.  Andrews.  Well  done,  guys!

F.R:  D.  Stevenson,  J.  Clapp,  E.  Connelly, 

A.  Shostak. 

The  team  played  in  the  compet- 
itive public  school  league,  which 
fostered  16  teams.  In  our  division 
we  had  an  outstanding  record  of 
9-0,  which  helped  us  to  move  into 
the  playoffs.  It  was  during  the  semi- 
final game  against  Royal  Oak  that 
the  team  came  up  short,  losing 
61-60  on  a  last  second  shot!  The 
boys  regained  their  spirit  and  went 
out  the  next  night  to  beat  Lambrick 
Park  for  third  spot  in  the  city.  Spe- 
cial thanks  to  Ted  Anderson  for  his 
time  and  commitment  towards  the 
team.

The  1989  St.  Michaels  team  was  comprised  of  fifteen  eager  and  hard-working  young  men,  who,  for  the  most 
part,  had  been  playing  together  for  three  years.  This  was  the  season  long  waited  for  and  the  boys  admirably  rep- 
resented the  school  in  the  VISAA  league  and  at  the  Canadian  Independent  Schools  Boys  U-13  Invitational  Soccer 
Tournament  which  was  held  this  year  at  Ridley  College  in  St.  Catharines,  Ontario. 

Many  hours  of  practice  and  preparation  during  the  summer  paid  off  in  enormous  dividends  as  the  boys  placed 
first  in  league  play  with  a  record  of  five  wins  and  one  tie.  As  the  time  to  leave  for  Toronto  approached  the  intensity 
of  the  practices  increased  under  the  direction  of  Coaches  Alford,  Bearpark,  Manson-Blair,  and  Pollock. 

Arriving  in  Toronto,  the  boys  spent  their  first  night  away  in  a  not-so-relaxing  manner  at  the  Relax  Inn!  This 
was  quite  evident  in  a  4-2  loss  the  next  day  at  St.  Andrews  College  in  Aurora,  Ontario.  Nonetheless,  St.  Michaels 
bounced  back  with  a  convincing  4-0  victory  the  following  afternoon. 

After  visits  to  the  Ontario  Science  Center,  the  CN  Tower,  and  the  Hard-Rock  Cafe  in  the  Skydome,  the  team 
travelled  to  Niagara  Falls  and  St.  Catharines  where  they  were  warmly  billetted  at  Ridley  College. 

Although  they  didn't  win  the  tournament,  the  St.  Michaels  team  surprised  everyone  with  their  tenacity  and  of- 
fense. Opening  day  victories  against  Hillfield-Strathallin  (2-0)  and  Halifax  Grammar  School  (5-1)  were  followed 
by  a  tough  2-1  loss  to  Crescent  School  from  Toronto.  In  the  next  round,  the  boys  soundly  trounced  last  year's 
champions  and  favorites  for  the  1989  crown.  Lower  Canada  College  (4-2).  However,  a  slight  let-down  followed 
and  even  an  additional  drink  of  carb-up  could  not  help  and  we  were  defeated  in  the  semi-finals  by  St.  Johns  Ra- 
venscourt,  a  team  that  relied  on  a  strict  defense  to  nullify  the  St.  Michaels  scoring  machine.  Still,  the  boys  had 
been  most  successful  and  were  fine  representatives  of  the  school  both  on  and  off  the  field.  Although  it  was  a  great 
team  effort,  the  individual  achievements  of  Chris  Pollock,  Tim  Stevenson,  Jamie  Mclver,  Gethin  Jones,  and  our 
goaltender,  Mischa  Greenwood,  must  be  applauded.  The  1990  tournament  in  Winnipeg,  Manitoba,  hopefully,  will 
see  four  of  our  players  returning.

D.  Manson-Blair  (coach). 

Every  season  is  different  when  you  coach.  The  weather  changes,  the  competition  evolves  and  the  players  you 
have  are  totally  new.  And  what  shall  happen  you  ask  yourseip  We  had  such  great  success  the  year  before,  how 
can  we  possibly  match  that?  These  thoughts  almost  bring  on  a  fear  to  start  again  an  inertia. 

Yet  the  first  practice  with  the  1989-90  Aztecs  &  Warriors  gave  me  a  glimpse  of  freshness,  that  tantalizing 
ray  of  hope.  This  year's  players  had  disguised  their  talents  in  a  rich  soil  of  willingness  to  learn  and  it  became 
quickly  apparent  that  it  was  going  to  be  a  year  when  48  boys  were  going  to  learn  more  about  a  sport  and  them- 
selves than  in  any  previous  season  that  I  have  coached. 

The  Aztecs  quickly  established  themselves  as  a  fun-loving  bunch  willing  to  tackle  anyone  and  anything.  They 
had  a  richness  of  indefatigable  spirit  that  the  results  would  never  allude  to.  They  would  prove  later  in  1990 
to  be  the  pool  from  which  players  would  be  selected  to  create  a  City  Championship  team. 

The  Warriors,  through  sheer  hard  work  and  an  incredible  desire  to  learn,  improved  dramatically.  Those  es- 
sential ingredients  of  happiness  and  friendship  were  there  too,  to  make  practices  fun  and  games  exciting  and 
full  of  team  work. 

In  the  Fall  of  1989,  the  Warriors,  with  flashes  of  brilliance,  won  the  I.S.A.  Championship,  captained  by  Cory 
Lee,  whose  full-back  talents  left  most  teams  in  awe  as  they  watched  him  score  devastating  tries.  The  pack  led 
by  Victor  (the  Mexican  tank)  became  cohesive,  fast  and  very  fit,  and,  from  an  opposition 's  point  of  view,  every- 
where all  the  time.  The  ball  handling  of  the  3/4  line  was  magic,  combining  great  intelligence  and  incredible 
speed.  Teams  would  wince  and  hope  that  the  duet  of  Steve  Price  and  Emmet  Connolly  would  not  get  the  ball 
or  they  would  have  to  tackle  creatures  as  allusive  as  cheetahs  covered  in  rhino  armour! 

In  the  Spring  of  1990,  the  Under-135  lb.  rugby  teams  took  to  the  field  in  a  city-wide  9-a-side  competition. 
They  ran  and  ran,  never  once  looking  up  to  see  if  they  had  won.  It  was  with  this  attitude  of  attempting  excellence 
and  willingness  to  learn  in  every  game,  that  it  was  other  schools  who  had  to  regrettably  keep  track  of  our  un- 
defeated record  in  league  play.  The  final  tournament  was  held  in  a  full  round-robin  format;  5  games  in  one 
day.  Though  we  won  every  game  and  the  City  Championship,  it  was  the  style  of  play  that  captivated  everyone. 
There  were  brilliant  moments  all  day. 

I  congratulate  all  players  for  allowing  us  to  work  with  you:  I  congratulate  you  on  your  personal  and  team 
successes.  You  are  now  an  exciting,  friendly,  powerful,  skilled  squad  of  players,  whose  success  at  the  Senior 
School  is  guaranteed. 

I  thank  the  wonderful  coaches  of  Mr.  Evan  Jones  and  Mr.  Nick  Coghlanfor  their  humour,  energy  and  bril- 
liant minds.  Without  them  none  of  this  would  have  been  possible.

at  various  times.  After  two  months  of  preparation,  ten  students  were  selected  to  represent  S.M.U.  in  the  annual  V.l.S.A.A.  tournament.  Our 
results  were  sensational!  Of  particular  note  was  the  outstanding  play  of  Chris  Pollock  and  Joanna  Holdsworth.  who  as  a  Mixed  Doubles  team 
were  undefeated  throughout  the  season  and  who  both  captured  Singles  "A"  and  Doubles  "A"  titles.  In  all.  S.M.U.  finished  first  in  8  out  of  10  events.

Optical  Illusions 

Move  it  left,  move  it  right 
Can't  you  see  the  witch  in  flight? 
Turn  it  over  look  again. 
Witches  broom  or  horses  mane. 

Is  it  black,  is  it  white? 
Is  it  day  or  is  it  night? 
Sometimes  round,  sometimes  square. 
Optical  illusions  make  you  stare. 

Is  it  large,  is  it  small. 
Is  it  really  there  at  all? 
Perhaps  a  pebble,  perhaps  a  rock. 
Perhaps  some  geese  in  a  flock. 

Some  lines  move,  some  lines  don't. 
Others  bend,  others  won't. 
If  you  really  look  you  will  find 
Fun  with  tricks  of  eye  and  mind.

Spring 

Life  and  beauty  come  on  the  wings  of  Spring, 
spreading  out  for  everyone  to  see. 

Silver  dew  drops  upon  the  ground 

shimmer  each  morning  like  minute  diamonds. 

Virgin  blades  of  grass 

peek  their  heads  out  of  the  earth. 

Flowery  blossoms  that  dare  to  bloom, 
spread  color  and  essence  through  grey  limbs. 

As  leaves  start  to  fall. 

Spring  wraps  herself  in  a  cocoon, 

and  we  must  thank  god, 

that  she'll  burst  forth  next  year, 

spreading  life  and  beauty  once  again!

A  cynic's  view  of  Autumn 

The  dreary  rain  and  fog  come  down. 
The  leaves  are  falling,  all  around. 
Clouds  disguise  the  clear,  blue  sky. 
Yet  all  around  me,  all  but  I, 
Enjoy  this  dreary  season  Fall, 
But  I  despise  them,  one  and  all.

Childhood  Days 

I  walked  in  and  looked  around, 
I  saw  shelves  with  forgotten  teddy  bears. 
Sitting  while  the  dust  accumulated  -  never  to  be  played  with 
again. 

Dolls  sat  silently  with  their  painted  smiles  and  vacant  eyes. 
Arousing  a  feeling  of  longing. 
Longing  to  be  together  with  them  again, 
A  happy,  carefree  child  wearing  long  braids  and  lacy  dresses. 
Playing  from  morning  until  evening,  never  an  evil  thought  in 
mind. 

Childhood's  boundaries  are  closely  guarded  and  once  you  leave 
its  protective  grasp. 
All  doors  are  locked  and  barred. 

In  the  real  world,  that  far  off  distant  fairy  land  may  not  be  re- 
entered. 

You  now  must  face  the  less  beautiful  things. 
War,  drugs,  aids  and  poverty. 

O,  that  I  could  crawl  away  and  let  everyone  else  worry. 
But  the  real  world  is  here  to  stay. 
How  I  miss  those  childhood  days!

Ages 

I  used  to  wish  I  would  grow  up  faster, 
To  the  age  of  an  older  girl  I  knew. 
Because  she  was  closer  to  being  an  adult. 
And  her  problems  seemed  quite  few. 

But,  then,  every  time  I  would  grow. 

And  reach  the  age  I  wanted  to  be, 

I  would  feel  really  dissatisfied, 

Because  she  still  seemed  better  off  than  me. 

My  biggest  wish  was  to  be  thirteen. 
Because  they  seemed  to  fit  in  with  every  age. 
Now  I  am  that  wished  for  number. 
Thirteen  looks  like  it's  trapped  in  a  cage. 

Children  seem  like  silly  babies. 

And  adults  just  don 't  understand. 

An  age  when,  one  moment,  I'll  be  in  despair. 

And  the  next,  feeling  extremely  grand. 

It's  strange  that  we  try  to  be  the  same. 
At  school,  so  all  friends  are  alike. 
But  with  my  family,  I'll  get  mad. 
So  I  can  do  and  be  as  I  like. 

Though  at  thirteen,  most  things  seem  wrong, 
And  emotions  are  in  such  a  varied  range, 
I  say  "life  goes  on",  when  really  I  wish. 
That  my  age  would  never  change.

CROSSES  OF  WAR 

The  crosses  have  been  erected  tall 
and  fearful  cries  echo  across  the  plain 
from  here,  from  there  from  every  where 
it  drifts  from  the  mouths  of  the  slain. 

Open  wounds  pour  free  from  soul 
from  sin.  from  hate  from  goals  untold. 
The  helpless  lying  among  the  flowers 
the  stories,  the  fables,  the  mysteries  unfold. 

The  mothers  at  home  sit  and  wait 
for  new  or  even  the  littlest  clue. 
Are  their  loves  still  alive  and  well 
"Where  are  you  my  love  where  are  you?" 

Now  it  is  over  and  gone  for  good. 
The  horrible  memories  erected  tall. 
In  row  and  row  and  row  for  miles. 
You  can  still  hear  the  painful  call. 

But  is  it  gone  for  good  forever 
Will  the  planes  be  flying  by? 
Will  blood  be  spewn  from  dying  men  ? 
Will  the  smoke  cover  over  the  sky? 

What  would  happen  if  it  all  came  back? 
Would  all  the  men  go  back  to  war? 
Would  children  cry  would  more  men  die, 
would  the  world  be  destroyed  forevermore. 

Would  the  crosses  be  erected  tall. 
Would  fearful  cries  echo  across  the  plain? 
From  here,  from  there  from  everywhere, 
Would  echoes  come  from  mouths  of  the  slain.

The  Legend 

He  rode  so  gallant  and  so  brave  through  forests 

deep  and  dim. 

His  heart  was  cold  as  he  rode  so  bold  into  battle  o'to 

win. 

His  armour  glistened,  and  his  army  listened  the 

enemy  for  to  hear, 

His  Lady  dear  she  shed  a  tear  for  she  feared  his 

death  was  near, 

Feared  his  death  was  near.

The  sword  secured  to  the  side  of  knight  till  the 

enemy  was  in  sight. 

He  drew  his  sword  from  his  silvery  scabbard. 

Withdrawing  it  across  his  chain-mail  tabbard. 

His  Lady  dear  she  shed  a  tear  for  she  feared  his 

death  was  near, 

Feared  his  death  was  near. 

Astride  his  steed  he  took  no  heed  to  dangers 

all  around  him. 

He  clashed  his  sword  with  an  evil  lord,  the  noise 

it  was  astounding. 

When  all  at  once  he  took  a  blow  and  in  that 

instance  he  did  know. 

His  Lady  dear  she  shed  a  tear  for  she  knew  his 

death  was  here. 

Knew  his  death  was  here.

TORCH  IT  OR  HELP  IT? 

The  Amazon  Jungle  once  lush  and  green 
Is  now  a  small  portion,  hard  to  be  seen 
Chainsaw  cutting  trees  here  and  there 
Soon  it  will  be  land  completely  bare. 

Animals  homes  cut  down  by  the  second. 

Not  a  cry  for  help  is  heard  or  beckoned. 

Smoke  and  flames  seen  a  hundred  miles 

away. 

Greedy  people  still  bum,  they  don't  care 

What  I  say. 

What  will  they  do  with  the  homeless 

animals? 

Use  them  for  testing  makeup  for  the  malls? 

A  small  voice  I  am  but  I'll  make  myself 

heard! 

Stop  torching  the  Amazon,  you're  ruining 

our  world! 

Joanna  Forbes 


A  mother  deer  and  her  fawn  quietly  step  out  of  their  den 

A  beaver  silently  swims  towards  her  dam 

An  eagle  soars  high  above  the  trees 

Everything  is  silent 

Almost 

Everything  except  for  a  buzzing 

Gradually  coming  nearer 

Gradually  getting  louder 

This  is  the  sound  of  chainsaws 

Greedily  stealing  our  animal  homes 

Stealing  their  lives 

This  is  our  world 

We  must  help. 

Along  the  seashore 

Lies  a  dead  bird 

Its  beak  and  wing 

Tangled  in  a  plastic  bag 

A  baby  otter 

Makes  meek  crying  sounds 

Its  coat  slicked  with  oil  and  dirt 

It  soon  will  be  dead 

Nobody  comes  to  help 

Nobody  cares 

This  is  our  world 

We  must  help.

The  Approaching  Winter 

Red,  gold,  orange  and  green 
Flaming  leaves  are  to  be  seen. 
A  time  that  comes  just  once  a  year. 
Lit  up  by  a  glorious  golden  sphere. 
Another  day  -  up  comes  the  wind. 
With  rain  and  clouds,  a  lonely  kind. 
The  gloomy  sky,  the  leafy  earth. 
The  fiery  trees,  a  seasons  birth.

The  Paddle 

As  the  paddle  dips  in  and  out 

To  the  rhythm  of  the  drums, 

Boomdada,  Boomdada, 

The  lone  Indian,  and  his 

Drummer,  paddling  into  the  on-coming  night. 

Their  destination  "The  New  World" 

Which  prospered  in  fish,  water  and  trees. 

As  the  silver  water  laps  against 

The  canoe,  and  the  paddle  dipping 

To  the  drumming  beat,  the 

Canoe  goes  on  and  on. 

Trying,  with  all  its  might  to  go 

And,  to  get  to  the  "New  World" 

By  sun-up 

On  and  on,  in  and  out,  Boomdada, 

Boomdada. 

As  the  canoe  comes  gliding  in. 

Like  a  graceful  bird,  the  drumming 

Stops,  but  now  the 

New  sound  is  growth.

My  monster's  name  is  Mr.  Boom, 

His  house  is  inside  a  hugh  mushroom. 

When  I  let  him  go,  he  goes  zoom, 

All  around  the  ballroom  room. 

He  can  fly  on  his  broom. 

Better  than  Mrs.  Magoom, 

He  loves  to  zoom. 

All  around  the  room. 

But  sadly,  all  creatures  meet  their  doom!

Orchestra 


Middle  School  Music  Programme 

Our  musical  year  started  in  October  with  a  visit  by  the  Victoria  Symphony  Orchestra.  This  performance,  to  which 
students  from  Junior  School  also  attended,  included  the  Mendelssohn  "Violin  Concerto"  and  "Peter  and  the  Wolf 
narrated  by  Stephen  Smith. 

Other  events  this  fall,  included  the  Remembrance  Day  service,  at  which  our  Grade  7  and  8  String  Ensembles  played; 
our  Christmas  Concert  and  Art  Display,  featuring  the  Grade  6,  7,  8  Bands,  Stage  Bands,  Orchestra,  Grade  6,  7, 
8  Strings  and  soloists. 

A  visit  by  "Santa"  and  "Mrs.  Claus",  together  with  members  of  the  choir,  as  Santa's  helpers,  visited  the  Kin- 
dergarten class  at  Junior  School,  much  to  the  delight  of  all  involved. 

The  culmination  of  activities  in  term  one  was  the  SMU  Carol  Service  at  Christ  Church  Cathedral,  where  once 
a  year  all  three  campuses  are  brought  together.  Our  90  member  Middle  School  Choir  sang  "Festive  Madrigal"  and 
"Angel's  Lullaby".  Two  of  the  nine  lessons  were  read  by  Tessa  Anglin,  Grade  6,  and  Ben  Luco,  Grade  7. 

Term  two  saw  the  introduction  of  two  extra-curricular  activities.  They  were  the  Festival  Choir  and  Honour  Band 
made  up  of  selected  students  in  Grades  6,  7,  and  8.  Both  groups  prepared  for  and  performed  in  the  Greater  Victoria 
Music  Festival  along  with  the  Grade  6,  7,  and  8  String  Ensembles. 

For  parents  unable  to  attend  the  Festival,  an  "Evening  of  Art,  Music  and  Drama"  was  held  in  the  TDC  at  the 
beginning  of  term  three.  The  "festival  groups",  togetherwith  our  extra-curricular  Stage  Band  performed  a  programme 
interspersed  by  drama  presentations  over  two  nights. 

Wrapping  up  a  busy  year,  which  included  individual  and  group  performances  at  assemblies,  was  our  Prize  Day  Cer- 
emony, held  this  year  at  the  University  of  Victoria.  On  this  occasion,  our  88  member  orchestra  performed  the  pro- 
cessional "Pomp  and  Circumstance",  the  National  Anthems  and  School  Hymn,  with  the  String  Section  featured 
in  "Rondeau"  and  "Minuetto",  and  the  Winds  and  Percussion  members  of  the  Honour  Band  playing  "Chesapeake 
Overture".  Once  again  our  combined  90  member  choir  performed  en  masse  Don  Besig's  "Flying  Free"  with  flute 
obligato  performed  by  Grade  8  student  Sean  Mark.

Successes! 


Public  Speaking 

The  month  of  April  featured  some  excellent 
performances  by  Middle  School  students  in 
both  the  Toastmasters  and  the  Optimist  Inter- 
national Public  Speaking  contests. 

In  the  Toastmaster  Youth  Leadership  con- 
test, and  competing  against  Senior  High  School 
students,  Leilani  Roberts  earned  a  4th  place 
finish  and  Elizabeth  Murdoch,  Ellen  Dragu- 
shan  and  Alyssa  Schwann  were  awarded  Cer- 
tificates of  Merit. 

The  following  week,  in  the  Optimist  Orator- 
ical Contest,  which  took  place  over  two  days, 
Elizabeth  Murdoch  and  Alyssa  Schwann 
earned  2nd  place  finishes  while  Ellen  Dragu- 
shan  received  a  Certificate  of  Distinction. 

The  girls  worked  extremely  hard  in  polishing 
their  speeches  on  the  topic  "The  Dream  is 
Alive"  and  their  results  were  well  earned.

In  the  International  Computer  Problem  Solving  Contest  sponsored  by 
the  University  of  Wisconsin,  our  Grade  6  Team,  with  the  coaching  of  Dr.  Lex 
McMaster,  excelled  again  this  year.  Two  of  the  teams  placed  1st  and  2nd 
in  Canada  and  4th  and  5th  in  the  World.  The  first  team:  Chelsea  Jones, 
Patricia  Mazuch,  Nicole  Pannekoek.  The  second  Team:  Ben  White  and 
Steven  Lobb  (the  boys  would  argue  that  there  was  female  domination  be- 
cause they  were  outnumbered!)

Odyssey  of  the  Mind 


The  Middle  School  entered  two  teams  in  the  O.M.  competition.  Team  1,  coached  by  Mr.  Todd  Manning,  was  com- 
prised of  Andrew  Pospisilik,  Cassandra  Miller,  Dominic  Loiacono,  An  Porzecanski  and  Jonathan  Aquino.  This  team 
entered  the  "Structures  in  Harmony"  problem,  which  involved  building  a  balsa  wood  structure  designed  to  hold  as 
much  weight  as  possible.  Team  2,  coached  by  Ms.  Susanne  Biden,  consisted  of  Caroline  Large,  Christian  Blagborne, 
Angela  Tongue,  Andrew  Field,  Jason  Kwon  and  Robert  Yeh.  This  team  entered  the  "Geographic  Odyssey"  problem, 
which  involved  building  a  self-propelled  vehicle  to  "visit"  various  countries  on  a  world  map.  Both  our  teams  did  well 
in  the  Vancouver  Island  regionals  and  advanced  to  the  Provincial  finals  in  New  Westminster.  While  we  did  not  place, 
we  all  learned  a  lot  and  had  a  great  time  in  the  process.

THE  JUNIOR  SCHOOL 


Director's  Foreword 


As  in  previous  years,  the  Junior  School  community  has  continued  to  abound  in 
energy,  creativity,  and  industry,  directed  to  producing  excellence  in  academic  achieve- 
ment as  well  as  other  aspects  of  life's  skills. 

With  an  enrollment  of  137  students,  ranging  from  five  to  eleven  years,  the  first 
targets  of  establishing  a  positive  working  climate  and  community  spirit  were  soon 
achieved.  All  students  had  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  every  programme  off- 
ered; this  they  did  with  gusto  as  evidenced  by  their  academic  results,  musical  presenta- 
tions and  athletic  performances. 
In  order  to  gain  insight  into  the  new  primary  programme  scheduled  to  become 
mandatory  next  year,  each  Thursday  the  primary  students  worked  in  mixed  family  groups  using  the  thematic  approach 
to  learning. 

This  year  could  be  said  to  be  a  year  of  "awareness".  Primary  students  reached  out  to  the  senior  citizens  at  large, 
to  entertain  them  with  their  Christmas  Programme,  then  served  them  tea  afterwards.  It  was  a  valuable  experience 
for  these  young  students  and  brought  tears  of  joy  to  the  seniors. 

Earth  Day  spanned  a  fortnight  with  assembly  presentations  by  each  class.  Grade  Two's  musical  composition.  Grade 
Three's  rap,  and  speeches  from  confident,  concerned  Grade  Four  students  will  always  be  remembered.  The  three  R  's, 
Reading  wRiting  and  aRithmetic  have  been  replaced  by  Reduce,  Reuse  and  Recycle. 

In  April,  the  school  assembled  to  greet  the  Parents'  Auxiliary.  On  this  occasion,  students  were  made  aware  of  the 
efforts  of  the  members  of  the  Auxiliary,  who  donated  the  climbing  frame  to  the  school.  Led  by  Grade  Five  student, 
Michelle  Butler,  they  were  formally  thanked.  All  students  have  been  able  to  develop  their  creativity,  flexibility,  and 
agility  on  this  new  structure  sitting  solidly  in  the  playing  field. 

The  Grade  Five  year  will  be  remembered  for  its  French/Art  cultural  evening.  This  visually  spectacular  presentation 
was  created,  organized  and  conducted  by  Madame  Davis  and  Mrs.  Forbes. 

We  will  miss  our  Grade  five  students  but  know  that  with  the  great  number  of  solid,  young  citizens  in  the  group, 
they  will  be  an  asset  to  the  Middle  School. 

The  year  ended  on  a  fairy  tale  note  with  the  marriage  of  Pamela  Hayley  to  Cliff  Yorath.  We  wish  them  many  years 
filled  with  happiness. 

The  camaraderie  of  the  staff,  their  good  humour,  goodwill,  and  hard  work  must  never  be  taken  for  granted;  through 
their  dedicated  efforts  the  Junior  School  thrived.  1989-1990  was  a  great  year!

Earth  Day,  1990 

Earth 's  air  is  being  destroyed 

By  gas  and  smoke  and  fumes; 

Let  us  clean  up  the  air 

So  birds  can  spread  their  plumes 
Let  us  save  the  Earth 
Because  she  gave  us  birth. 

Always  use  the  three  R's 
Recycle,  reuse  and  Reduce; 
Please  help  us  save  the  Earth 
Conserve  the  crane  and  moose. 
Let  us  save  the  Earth 
Because  she  gave  us  birth. 

We  want  our  water  clean 
Help  save  the  ocean  life. 
Conserve  the  ocean  scene. 
Rescue  Earth  from  this  scene, 

Let  us  save  the  Earth 

Because  she  gave  us  birth, 

Our  message  to  you  - 

Save  the  Earth.

Music  and  Drama 


String  Ensembles  -  Junior  School 

This  year  the  Grade  IV  class  was  divided  into  two 
strings  ensembles  that  followed  different  musical  paths. 
The  beginner  group  bravely  and  successfully  ex- 
perimented with  string  instruments  for  the  first  time  and 
ended  their  year  with  a  grand  finale  in  three  part  ensem- 
ble work.  Their  friends  in  class  who  had  previous  ex- 
perience in  string  study  became  an  enlarged  string 
quartet  and  rehearsed  pieces  that  had  challenge  and 
character. 

The  Grade  V  class  continued  as  second  year  players 
in  the  string  programme  (with  two  additional  beginning 
viola  students  who  spent  many  hours  on  catchup!).  As 
a  string  ensemble  of  twenty-five,  they  produced  a  fine, 
full  sound  in  their  music  making. 

Once  each  week,  selected  players  from  each  class 
rehearsed  as  a  string  orchestra  and  were  featured  at 
Prize  Day  in  June,  in  an  open  air  performance! 

Throughout  the  year,  our  string  players  played  in 
several  morning  assemblies,  at  the  Victoria  Music 
Festival,  and  in  the  musical  afternoon  in  May,  which 
presented  to  their  parents  and  overview  of  the  music  pro- 
gramme from  Grades  I  to  V.
