EDITOR'S  FOREWORD

1 996-1 997  has  been  a  very  special  year  for  the  yearbook  because  the  three  schools  have  decided  to  do  the  layout  and 
design  of  all  the  pages  on  the  computer.  It  has  been  particularly  difficult  for  the  Senior  School  because  we  had  to  train  all 
the  members  of  the  Committee  to  use  PageMaker  and  to  make  matters  worse,  I  am  a  complete  computer  idiot!  Luckily, 
with  the  help  of  Mr,  Jackson,  Mrs.  Richards  and  the  support  of  Ms,  Roth,  we  all  survived  the  transition  and  most  of  the  staff 
are  now  capable  of  operating  the  program. 

Special  thanks  to  Mr.  Smith,  for  photocopying  all  the  tiny  images  (Sorry  for  killing  all  those  trees!!)  designed  by  this  year's 
top  grade  1 1  artist,  David  Tseng.  The  Middle  School  section  and  parts  of  the  Senior  School  section  are  "equipped"  with 
"Flip-Pages  TM",  and  hopefully,  all  of  you  will  be  flipping  through  the  yearbook  more  than  once  for  "non-stop"  cartoon 
action.  Thanks  to  Aries  for  chatting  with  me  and  coming  up  with  this  fabulous  idea. 

Thanks  also  to  Mrs.  Card,  the  Accounting  Office,  the  Development  Office,  Mrs.  Moore,  Mrs.  Winters,  Mrs.  Nason  and  Mrs. 
Strauss  for  their  help  and  continuous  support.  The  yearbook  will  not  exist  without  their  assistance  and  constant 
encouragement. 

This  yearbook  cannot  possibly  be  produced  without  the  help  of  the  yearbook  staff  and  there  are  just  too  many  of  you  to 
mention!  A  big  thank  you  to  all  of  you  for  your  hard  work  and  for  giving  up  your  spare  time  everyday  after  school  to  help. 
To  the  grads  who  helped  out  this  year,  good  luck  to  all  of  you  in  the  future!  To  those  who  are  staying,  Steve  Wong  will  need 
your  regular  support  next  year  because  he  will  be  taking  over  as  Editor,  with  Vanessa  Lee  as  his  assistant. 

Some  final  thoughts  on  the  yearbook;  the  main  reason  for  joining  the  Yearbook  Committee  for  the  past  2  years  is  because  I 
feel  very  proud  when  I  see  a  page  that  I  have  designed  appear  in  over  600  yearbooks.  Besides  that,  every  single  page  in 
the  yearbook  gives  everyone  a  particular  memory  about  a  certain  event  and  this  is  what  makes  the  job  really  rewarding. 


Thanks  again  for  a  tremendous  and  truly  unforgettable  experience.

DIRECTOR'S    FOREWARD 

When  I  decided  to  make  St  Michaels  University  School  my  new  career  and  Victoria  my  home,  I  knew  I 
was  beginning  an  exciting  phase  in  my  life.  You  do  not  make  such  changes  without  long,  serious 
thoughts  and  lots  of  self  analysis.   I  had  to  think  hard  about  the  affect  upon  my  family  as  well  as 
myself.  I  had  to  weigh  the  benefits  of  change  opposed  to  stability.  In  the  end  my  family's  risk-taking, 
adventurous  side  took  precedence  over  any  qualms  that  we  had.  We  have  not  regretted  it  one  bit. 

I  knew  the  Junior  School  would  be  a  warm  and  busy  environment  where  the  attitudes  to  academics 
and  personal  growth  were  equally  balanced  in  a  nurturing  and  challenging  environment.  The  school 
has  provided  many  opportunities  for  me  to  learn  and  grow  this  year.  I  have  thrilled  at  the  excitement 
the  students  have  derived  from  their  studies.  At  every  grade  level  there  was  a  sense  of  energy  as 
new  projects  or  activities  were  initiated.  The  interest  of  these  young  children  in  their  own  learning  is 
always  high  and  constant.  Teaching  such  children  is  an  enormous  privilege  and,  of  course,  lots  of 
fun.  You  can  more  than  meet  learning  expectations  and  go  on  to  stretch  those  minds  further.  It  is 
humbling  and  energizing  to  be  a  leader  in  this  wonderful  school! 

I  would  like  to  thank  all  the  parents  and  students  of  the  Junior  School  who  made  me  feel  welcome 
from  the  first  day  on.  The  patience  you  have  all  displayed  as  I  learned  the  ropes  of  my  new  world  has 
been  long-suffering!  Neither  would  I  have  been  as  effective  without  the  support  of  the  marvelous 
teachers  of  the  Junior  School.  They  have  spent  many  hours  teaching  me  the  traditions  and  routines 
that  are  important  to  a  school  with  the  reputation  we  have  at  St.  Michaels  University  School.  Patient 
to  the  end,  has  been  Wendy  Wilson,  who  has  organized  me  daily,  weekly,  monthly,  with  never  an 
exasperated  word  or  look! 

Finally,  I  would  like  to  say  a  fond  farewell  to  Peter  Bousfield,  teacher  of  Grade  5  English  and  Grade  4 
Social  Studies  this  year.  After  many  years  Mr.  Bousfield  is  retiring  to  begin  an  exciting  life  on  the  golf 
course  and  tennis  courts.  We  hope  he  will  enjoy  every  well-earned  minute!  The  good  wishes  and 
resounding  thanks  of  the  whole  school,  teachers,  students,  young  and  old,  near  and  far,  go  with  him. 

Farewell  for  now-see  you  in  the  September  in  the  newly  renovated  halls  of  the  Junior  School!

St.  Michaels  University  Junior  School

Farewell,  Mr.  Bousfield 

We  bid  a  fond  farewell  to  Mr.  Bousfield  in  June.  After  a  long  association  witfi  the 
school,  including  his  early  education  and  26  years  of  teaching,  he  decided  he 
wanted  more  time  for  golf,  and  other  interests.  He  will  be  remembered  as  a  fine 
teacher  of  English  and  Social  Studies,  who  managed  yearly,  to  encourage  won- 
derful writing  from  his  students.  We're  happy  to  know  that  his  commitment  to  the 
school  will  continue,  as  he  will  be  involved  at  the  Development  Office.  We'll  miss 
those  wonderful  one  liners  that  put  smiles  on  all  our  faces.  Enjoy  your  well 
deserved  retirement,  Mr.  Bousfield. 

The  following  is  an  excerpt  from  a  song  sung  by  the  female  staff  for  Mr.  Bousfield 
at  his  retirement  dinner.  Lyrics  by  Sunny  Pollard 

Thank  heavens.  Bowser  Boy,  you're  going  to  join  the  newest  swinging  scene. 

Thank  heavens,  Bowser  Boy,  you're  changing  from  caffeine  to  Ovaltine. 

Your  charm,  your  laughs  still  lift  us  to  the  ceiling,  one  silly  comment  always  sends 

the  staff  room  reeling. 

Thank  heavens,  we've  worked  with  you;  we  won't  forget  your  charm,  your  wit  ...A 

teacher  such  as  you.... Without  you. ...What  would  boys  and  girls  do? 

Thank  heavens... .Thank  heavens.... 

Thank  heavens.... Just  for  you!

The  Discovery  of  Planet  X 
The  year  was  2046.  The  month  was  June.  There  was  a  probe 
sent  out  into  space,  to  see  if  there  was  a  Planet  X.  Discoverer  1 
was  two  times  as  fast  as  light.  In  one  hour,  Discoverer  1  was  at 
the  asteroid  belt.  It  went  past  Jupiter,  Saturn,  Neptune  and 
Pluto.  Then  Discoverer  1  blasted  up  to  the  stars.  The  probe 
had  all  sorts  of  stuff  on  it.  Oxygen  tanks,  astronauts,  cargo,  zap 
guns  for  shooting  unexpected  Aliens,  and  some  food.  Then 
they  saw  a  light.  It  was  bigger  than  all  of  them.  They  got  closer 
to  it,  but  it  was  only  a  star.  Then  they  saw  something  else.  It 
was  quite  invisible.  It  was  a  black  hole.  They  quickly  turned 
away  and  landed  on  a  planet,  but  it  wasn't  Planet  X.  It  was 
Planet  S.  What  had  happened  was  that  Discoverer  1  had 
landed  on  one  of  Planet  X's  moons.  Then  they  took  off  and 
Discoverer  1  landed  on  Planet  X.  They  got  off  the  probe  and 
took  a  look  around.  They  looked  around  and  saw  nothing. 
Then  they  heard  something.  It  was  getting  louder  and  louder 
and  louder,  and  then  they  saw  it.  It  was  an  alien  army.  They 
ran  back  to  Discoverer  1  (the  probe).  They  took  off  and  did  the 
same  thing  backward  all  the  way  to  Earth.  When  they  got  back, 
they  told  everybody  about  their  adventure.

RAIN 
As  I  look  out  my  window  at  the  pouring  rain, 
I  think  about  how  it's  rained  again. 
I  can't  go  outside  anymore, 
I  sigh  as  I  look  at  the  door. 
As  I  sing  a  song, 

I  keep  on  thinking  about  how  this  weekend  is  so  long. 
I  want  to  go  to  school. 
I  am  tired  of  not  one  rule. 
My  brother  is  at  a  sleepover, 
and  no  one  can  come  over. 

Just  as  I  look  outside  to  see  the  rain  has  come  to  a  stop, 
I  am  so  happy  I  begin  to  hop!

The  witch's  cackle  was  so  loud  that

Five  Little  Dinosaurs 
Five  little  dinosaurs  trying  to  roar,

Along  came  a  huge  wave  then  there  were  three. 
Three  little  dinosaurs  needing  something  to  do, 
Along  came  a  Deinoychus  then  there  were  two. 
Two  little  dinosaurs  staring  at  the  sun. 
Along  came  a  drought  then  there  was  one. 
One  little  dinosaur  our  story's  almost  done, 
Along  came  an  Iguanadon  then  there  was  none.

A  Winter's  Night  in  the  Snow 

As  I  gallop  through  the  woods  on  my  horse,  Calypso 
the  snow  gently  patters  on  my  back.  I  slow  Calypso 
down  to  a  walk  to  watch  the  soft,  heavy  snow,  come 
down  thicker,  weighing  the  branches  down  until  they 
almost  touch  the  ground.  I  watch  the  snowflakes, 
dancing,  whirling,  around  and  around  until  they  fall  to 
the  ground.  This  calm,  peaceful  world  is  suddenly 
shattered  as  a  pheasant  beats  its  wings  and  flutters  to 
the  sky,  causing  a  heavily  snow-laden  branch  to  sway, 
dropping  all  of  its  snow.  The  snow  becomes  thicker  so 
that  I  can  only  see  a  few  feet  ahead  of  me.  I  call  to  my 
horse  to  head  home,  but  my  voice  is  lost  in  the  wind. 
Calypso  didn't  need  me  to  tell  him  to  head  home,  he 
knew  already.  As  I  leave  the  dark,  cold  woods,  I  think 
how  peaceful  it  is. 

Diana  Izard,  4F 


Festive  Food 

As  I  walked  in  the  kitchen  I  could 
smell  that  old  fashioned  scrumptious 
smell  and  the  sound  of  the  water 
sizzling.  And  when  I  sat  down  we 
said  grace  and  the  lined  surface  of 
the  gnochhi  was  so  fluffy,  so  bumpy, 
so  spicy.  The  white  soft  gnocchi  so 
chewy,  so  chewy,  so  chewy.   At  my 
Grandma's  it  is  always  cheerful, 
always  warm.  The  old  flowered  table 
cloth  I  know  so  well,  always  warm, 
always  big.

The  Lion 

Prowling  through  his  fields. 
Lord  of  the  Land,  he  is 
His  mane-his  crownn, 
His  eyes-a  terror  to  gaze  on 
His  teeth  are  swords. 

As  he  turns, 

An  antelope  grazes  near. 

He  stalks  it. 

And  brings  it  down. 

He  roars, 

A  loud,  terrifying  roar. 

That  makes  echoes  over  the  land. 

As  the  king 

He  never  goes  hungry, 

Taking  food  from  others, 

Just  by  showing  his  proud,  muscular 

body. 

sleeping  in  peace, 

All  but  invincible. 

He  is  the  lion. 

Lord  of  the  Land

THE  HORSE 

THE  MUSCLE  LIKE  STEEL,

RUNNING  WITH  POWER. 

GRACE  AND  STEADINESS, 

THE  WIND  RUSHING  TO  MEET  WITH 

FORCE, 

GALLOPING  THROUGH  THE  LONG  TALL 

REEDS, 

SPLASHING  ALMOST  PLAYFULLY  IN  THE 

WATER, 

SPRAYING  ON  MY  BOOTS. 

THEN  I  REALIZED  WHAT  A  MAGNIFICENT

A  Sundae  In  May 

A  sundae  in  May 

Is  wonderful  I  say. 

A  sundae  on  a  hot  day. 

A  sundae  in  December 

Is  not  one  to  remember. 

For  something  hot,  is  a  better 

idea. 

A  sundae  is, 

as  you  will  see, 

A  wonderfully  tasty  thing 

If  it's  strawberry  or  butterscotch, 

Maple  or  cherry 

It  tastes  delicious,  all  the  same

JUNIOR  SCHOOL  MUSIC 


STRINGS 


The  string  orchestra  musicians  at  the  Junior  School  learned 
new  skills  and  performed  with  enthusiasm  on  serval  occa- 
sions this  year.  Grade  4  strings  learned  their  basic  skills  in 
the  fall,  and  subsequently  performed  in  school  assemblies 
and  at  the  Arts  Festival.  The  Grade  5  class  journeyed  with 
their  instruments  in  2nd  term  to  Middle  School  and  per- 
formed in  a  chapel  service.  At  the  end  of  the  third  term  their 
visit  was  to  the  Senior  School  where  they  experienced  a 
stringclass  with  the  Grade  10  students.  That  was  fun!  The 
cross  grade  orchestra  played  in  December  at  the  Monterey 
Centre,  at  the  Carol  Service  and  in  the  final  presentation  at 
Speech  Day.  It  was  a  fine  year  of  strong  ensemble  playing 
and  we  were  happy  to  introduce  our  new  school  director  to 
the  sound  of  music  making.

During  the  Christmas  season  the  Grade  5  and  12  choirs  and  Grade  5  strings 
performed  at  the  Monterey  Senior's  Centre  for  their  annual  December  tea. 
This  has  been  quite  a  tradition,  and  the  date  has  already  been  set  for  the  next 
gathering.  The  SMUS  Christmas  Bazaar  started  off  with  festive  singing  of 
carols  from  the  Grade  4,  5,  and  12  choirs,  and  the  term  ended  with  all  Grades 
K-5  participating  in  the  Junior  School  Carol  Service. 

In  February  during  the  mid  term  break,  members  of  the  Grade  4/5  choir  were 
invited  to  perform  at  a  Memorial  Service  in  the  Lt.  Governor  General's  House, 
and  in  March,  the  Grades  4/5  choirs  joined  in  a  massed  choral  celebration  with 
the  Grade  9,  10,  11,  12,  and  Alumni  Choirs  in  the  old  gym  at  the  Senior 
School. 

On  May  14th,  the  Grade  3  class  joined  forces  with  the  Grades  4  and  5,  and 
performed  several  choral  selections,  as  well  as  playing  recorders.  This  concert 
also  included  all  the  stnngs  players. 

The  final  presentation  of  the  year  was  at  Prize  Day,  which  took  place  in  the 
Royal  Theatre. 

It  has  been  a  pleasure  working  with  this  year's  Grade  5  class,  and  I  hope  they 
will  continue  to  sing  on  their  journey  through  the  Middle  and  Senior  School.

Snow 

As  I  slowly  blunder  in  the  cold,  dark  forest, 
As  the  snow  slowly  drifts  down  from  the  sky, 
I  am  trying  to  find  my  way,  I  am  trying  to  find  my 
way  home. 

As  the  snow  gets  heavier, 

As  a  bright  yellow,  bird  flashes  by, 

I  am  trying  to  find  my  way  home,  I  am  trying  to  find 

my  way  home. 

There  is  my  house,  I  see  it  over  there. 

The  one  with  the  windows,  frosty  and  patterned, 

I  have  found  my  way  home,  I  have  found  my  way 

home.

Wonderful  Spring 

The  golden  sun  casts  rays  of  yellow 

Upon  our  wonderful  world 

And  all  the  animals  that  share  Earth 

With  all  considerate  folk. 

Newborn  animals  chirp  and  bleat. 

To  peck  and  graze  from  day  to  day, 

For  us  to  look  at  Mother  Nature's 

Radiant  bouquet  of  countless  colours 

Flowing  to  meet  the  sea  of  sky. 

In  the  distance  the  clouds  flushed, 

A  joyous  pink  from  the  departing  of 

The  weary  sun. 

Soon  the  stars  will  set  out 

To  help  the  moon  to  lead  the  way. 

Evan  Morgan,  Grade  4F 


The  French  Board  Walk 

The  early  morning  touch  of  sun. 

Rose  over  the  town  and  then  began. 

To  sprinkle  its  light  over  the  sea. 

Which  brought  out  the  warmth  like  in  a  cup  of  tea. 

I  edged  toward  the  old  grey  dock, 

To  see  if  maybe  the  winds  could  talk, 

They  spoke  in  a  very  gentle  voice, 

"We  give  a  small  breeze  or  gusts  your  choice!" 

I  saw  a  mademoiselle  in  a  fancy  dress. 
Which  I  envied  for  my  dress  was  less, 
She  walked  her  normal  walk  with  style, 
Which  I  tried  to  learn  for  quite  a  while.

Wild  and  free 

A  long  golden  streak

A  speck  of  gold  on  the  horizon

Never  caught,  always  running 

On  long,  strong  legs 

Hunters  catching  nothing 

But  a  strand  of  a  long  golden  tail

The  Poppy 

The  Poppy 

I  am  a  poppy 

I  grow  around  the  graves 

I  am  both  happy  and  sad 

When  I  am  happy  I  take  care  of  the  people  who  died 

When  I  am  sad  I  remind  you  of  them 

I,  the  poppy  will  be  here  forever 

I  will  remino  you  to  think  of  the  people  that  helped 

the  families  grow. 

I  am  the  poppy 

I  twist  and  turn  around  the  graves 

With  my  bright  red  petals  people  see  me 

They  stop  to  think  "Thank  you  very  much" 

I  am  the  poppy 

I  am  the  symbol  of  war  and  peace 

People  wear  me  on  Remembrance  Day 

I  am  the  poppy  I  have  seen  everything 
I  was  lying  around  a  grave  when  it  happened 
I  have  seen  the  happiness  of  the  soldiers 
I  have  seen  the  hurt  souls  of  the  soldiers 
It  was  my  job  to  take  care  of  the  graves 

I  have  tried  to  make  war  stop.... 

But  what  can  I  do?  I  am  only  a  flower 

Taryn  Bodrug,  Grade  4F 


The  Poppies 

The  poppies  in  Flanders  Fields  blow. 

The  men  who  died 

lie  below  the  crosses 

row  by  row. 

These  mark  the  places  of  the  men 

who  lost  their  lives. 

Their  lives  were  cut  by  a  knife. 

They  fought  to  set  us  free 

They  see  us  above 

When  they  hand  us  the  torch.

1996-97  has  undoubtedly  been  one  of  the  most 
successful  years  for  sporting  achievement.  In  the 
Fall  Term  our  Cross  Country  runners  won  four 
championships.  A  team  of  60  runners  participated  in 
the  seven  races  and  showed  great  determination  in 
tackling  the  rigors  of  this  sport. 
The  Grade  5  Boy's  and  Girl's  Soccer  teams 
completed  their  seasons  undefeated.  The  Boys 
played  1 0  games,  won  9,  drew  1 .  The  highlight  of  the 
season  was  victory  at  the  ISA  tournament  defeating 
perennial  powerhouse  St.  George's  2-1  (  goals  by 
Brad  Booth  &  Nik  Puree!! ).  The  girl's  won  all  seven 
of  their  games. 

The  Basketball  season  was  again  incredibly 
successful.  The  Grade  5  Boys  were  undefeated 
and  won  the  ISA  Championship.  The  highlight  of 
the  season  was  the  Tournament  held  at  our  Senior 
School.  Students  from  Grades  4  &  5  played  64 
games  in  3  1/2  hours-  and  a  great  time  was  had  by 
all! 

Our  Swimmers  showed  great  dedication  in  attending 
early  morning  practises.  We  had  a  team  of  35 
swimmers  compete  in  the  Victoria  All  School 
Championships  and  secured  a  3rd  place  finish. 
The  Summer  Term  saw  the  Junior  School  again 
host  a  series  of  track  meets.  Participation  rates 
were  very  high  with  most  students  from  Grades  2-5 
running.  The  ISA  &  VISAA  championships  produced 
4th  place  finishes  against  strong  competition.

Middle  School  Director's  Foreword 


At  the  start  of  this  school  year  the  Headmaster  produced  the  school's  educational  philosophy  document 
which  has  given  St.  Michaels  University  School  a  clear  direction  and  vision.  The  paper  emphasizes  a 
commitment  to  excellence  and  to  the  development  of  the  whole  child  as  well  as  providing  a  framework  for 
a  sound  education. 

But  what  does  it  mean  to  be  educated?  We  often  think  in  terms  of  academics,  the  arts  and  athletics  and 
we  work  vigorously  to  improve  skills  in  these  areas.  We  reinforce  positive  values  such  as  honesty  and  respect 
and  strive  to  develop  a  sense  of  community.  All  these  components  are  essential  if  we  are  to  provide  an 
excellent  education  for  our  students. 

But  how  has  St.  Michaels  University  School  achieved  such  great  success  as  an  educational  institution? 
I  believe  it  is  the  understanding  that  the  process  of  learning  is  as  important  as  the  product  and  that  developing 
a  love  of  learning  is  the  true  purpose  of  education.  As  Leonardo  Da  Vinci  so  aptly  stated  -  "Just  as  eating 
against  one's  will  is  injurious  to  health,  so  study  without  a  liking  for  it  spoils  the  memory  and  it  retains  nothing 
it  takes  in." 

The  faculty  at  St.  Michaels  University  School  recognizes  various  learning  styles  and  abilities  and  actively 
involves  the  students  in  education.  It  concentrates  on  the  development  of  higher  level  thinking  skills:  skills  of  analysis,  synthesis  and  evaluation 
and  strives  to  produce  problem  solvers  and  creative  thinkers  while  reinforcing  basic  skills  to  ensure  a  strong  foundation  of  knowledge.  The 
staff  shares  a  great  appreciation  of  the  Arts  with  the  students  and  introduces  '1he  finer  things  in  life"  in  a  stimulating  fashion.  All  children  are 
encouraged  to  open  their  minds  to  appreciate  various  artistic  and  musical  experiences.  Physical  Education  is  a  source  of  great  pleasure 
for  many  students  and  opportunities  are  provided  for  both  competitive  and  recreational  pursuits.  Enjoyment  of  sport  and  character 
development  become  significant  objectives  and  contribute  to  personal  satisfaction. 

St.  Michaels  University  School  is  proud  to  produce  students  who  are  able  to  meet  the  challenges  of  university  and  who  are  able  to 
select  stimulating  careers  in  a  highly  competitive  world.  However,  the  school  is  even  more  proud  to  produce  students  who  exhibit  a  love  of 
learning  and  who  seek  new  opportunities  in  which  their  knowledge  and  experiences  are  broadened. 

Our  reputation  as  a  fine  educational  institution  continues  to  flourish  and  1 996\97  has  been  a  successful  school  year.  Academically, 
a  high  proportion  of  the  students  has  excelled,  with  the  grade  8  mathematics  team  finishing  third  in  the  Canadian  National  Mathematics  League 
and  the  grade  6  team,  sixteenth,  in  competitions  with  over  600  schools.  Our  Commonwealth  Essay  writers  dominated  the  Vancouver  Island 
Division  presentations,  accumulating  sixteen  awards,  including  a  second  and  third  place  finish  in  B.C.  All  grade  7  were  introduced  to  Writers 
in  Electronic  Residence  based  at  York  University  and  the  programme  allowed  the  children  to  e-mail  their  writing  to  professionals  who 
responded  with  constructive  comments.  We  will  continue  this  activity  next  year  with  just  a  few  refinements. 

Thanks  to  the  English  department  and  other  members  of  staff,  every  child  in  the  school  was  afforded  the  opportunity  to  participate 
in  recitation,  public  speaking,  and  debating  competitions.  The  most  skilled  performers  were  invited  to  share  their  talents  in  front  of  the  entire 
school.  This  was  a  fine  beginning  to  what  we  hope  will  become  a  Middle  School  tradition. 

Eight  of  our  young  artists  won  awards  in  an  international  competition  in  China,  including  a  gold,  a  silver  and  two  bronze  medals. 
Another  six  students  will  have  their  creations  displayed  in  the  Crayola  travelling  exhibition  occurring  later  this  year  —  only  eighty  works  were 
chosen  from  across  North  America,  and  a  grade  8  student  placed  first  in  the  local  Canadian  Cancer  Society  painting  competition.  In  addition 
to  individual  achievements,  two  outstanding  art  exhibitions  were  organized  and  each  contained  works  of  brilliance. 

The  musicians,  as  usual,  displayed  a  great  deal  of  professionalism  and  an  equal  amount  of  enthusiasm.  Numerous  concerts  were 
performed  and  each  one  in  its  own  way  was  a  masterpiece.  What  a  joy  it  is  to  see  our  students  develop  during  their  time  at  our  school  and 
how  often  we  see  audiences  shake  their  heads  in  amazement  when  they  are  fortunate  enough  to  be  present  at  a  performance. 

The  Outdoor  Programme  is  gaining  in  diversity  and  besides  its  usual  challenging  components,  its  academic  content  has  many 
exciting  prospects  for  next  year.  In  the  winter  term,  a  rock  climbing  course  was  offered  to  many  of  our  students  and  the  response  was 
overwhelmingly  enthusiastic.  We  will  be  pursuing  other  outdoor  education  opportunities  in  the  coming  year  as  part  of  the  P.E.  programme. 
Once  again  the  Middle  School  ran  over  twenty  athletic  teams  and  a  large  proportion  of  the  school  population  was  able  to  experience 
the  joy  of  victory  or  the  agony  of  defeat.  Our  Girls'  Under  1 5  Soccer  Team  travelled  to  Montreal  and  successfully  defended  our  Canadian 
Independent  Schools'  title.  The  team  for  next  year  is  already  practising  and  is  hoping  to  claim  its  third  consecutive  national  championship 
in  Halifax  during  the  first  week  of  October.  The  Boys'  Under  13  Soccer  Team  performed  well  in  the  national  championship  in  Ottawa  this 
year,  but  was  unable  to  master  atrocious  weather  conditions.  However,  the  marvellous  cultural  experience  was  appreciated  by  all. 

The  grade  8  rugby  team  had  an  exceptional  season,  winning  all  but  one  of  its  matches  and  securing  the  B.C.  Independent  Schools 
Championship.  A  highlight  of  the  season  was  a  thnlling  'come  from  behind'  victory  over  a  team  from  Swansea,  Wales.  Our  players  have 
the  potential  to  become  a  real  force  in  the  Senior  School  and  to  uphold  the  fine  traditions  we  have  in  this  sport.  The  Girls'  Grade  8  Basketball 
Team  also  had  a  wonderful  season;  despite  being  a  small  squad,  it  managed  to  get  through  a  few  rounds  of  the  city  play-offs.  Similarly,  the 
boys'  team  achieved  much  success  against  all  of  the  odds. 

Cross  country,  badminton,  field  hockey,  swimming,  track  and  field  were  all  competitive  sports  and  much  potential  was  shown.  Many 

thanks  to  all  of  the  dedicated  and  hard  working  coaches  whose  efforts  in  the  trenches  forged  many  of  the  best  teacher/student  relationships. 

Finally,  a  word  to  our  grade  8  graduating  class.  It  is  now  time  for  you  to  move  on  to  the  Senior  School.  The  Middle  School  faculty 

are  confident  that  you  are  ready  to  meet  the  challenge  and  to  emerge  as  outstanding  students,  as  well  as  fine  young  men  and  women.  On 

your  behalf ,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  teachers  for  the  dedication  they  have  shown  to  you  all.  We  will  follow  your  careers  with  great 

ji      interest  and  hope  that  you  will  visit  as  often  as  possible.  It  has,  indeed,  been  a  privilege  having  you  at  the  Middle  School.  Good 

______     luck.

The  badminton  season  was  quite  short  this  term  as  it  was  sandwiched  between  a  long  spring  breal<  and  track.  The 
turnout  for  both  the  grade  6/7  ISA  team  and  the  grade  8  team  was  extremely  good,  and  it  was  a  real  pleasure  for  the 
coaches,  Mr.  Alford  and  Mr.  Floyd,  to  see  so  many  students  interested  in  participating.  After  a  bnef  set  of  practices, 
members  of  the  6/7  team  travelled  to  St.  Patrick's  School  for  some  additional  competition.  A  group  of  grade  8's  joined 
up  with  members  of  the  senior  school  team,  coached  by  Mr.  Peter  Gardiner,  for  training  sessions  with  Anil  Kaul,  a 
local  coach  and  member  of  Canada's  Olympic  Badminton  team.  These  students  showed  significant  improvements 
in  their  level  of  skill  and  game  strategy.  The  tournament  week  (ISA  and  Victoria  City  Junior  Secondary)  took  place 
at  the  end  of  April  and  the  first  week  of  May.  Both  the  ISA  and  the  Gr.  8  teams  acquitted  themselves  well,  with  wins 
and  places  in  almost  all  categories  entered.

The  girls'  volleyball  team  had  a  gruel- 
ling schedule  of  32  games  over  the 
course  of  6  weeks.  Though  we  had  a 
bit  of  a  slow  start,  the  team  started 
working  together  and  combining  on 
some  spectacular  plays  late  in  the 
season.  By  the  end  of  our  round-robin 
regular  games,  we  had  accumulated  a 
respectable  1 1  wins  against  some  very 
strong  opposition.  Congratulations, 
and  many  thanks  for  a  well-played 
season,  ladies!

We  had  a  tremendous  turnout  with  close  to  30  girls  eager  to  play  volleyball.  We  were  fortunate  to  have  balls  for 
everyone,  and  practice  sessions  focused  on  skill  development  and  an  introduction  to  the  game.  Unfortunately  the 
league  play  for  this  age  group  is  very  limited,  and  so  we  had  very  few  weekly  games.  The  grade  7  girls  were  given 
priority  in  the  league,  and  in  most  cases  two  teams  were  able  to  play.  A  tournament  in  Vancouver 
and  the  final  league  tournament  provided  many  opportunities  for  all  girls  to  play  and  experience 
the  emotions  of  competition.  The  girls'  skills  improved  over  the  season  and  much  fun  was  had  by 

all.

U-1 3  Soccer -1996

F.R:   N,  Black,  J.  Binab.  A,  Orr,  E.  Holtham,  G,  Martin,  C.  Chapheau.  S.  Bell. 

Bright  and  early  one  late  October  morning,  the  boys  U-1 3  soccer  team,  accompanied  by  coaches  Mr. Evan  Jones, 
Mr. Don  Pollock,  and  parent,  Mr,  Steve  Martin,  left  Victoria  for  the  Canadian  Independent  Schools  Invitational  Soccer 
Tournament,  hosted  this  year  by  Ashbury  College  in  Ottawa.  Having  just  clinched  the  VISAA  elementary  soccer 
championship  with  an  undefeated  season  and  having  earned  a  3-3  tie  with  a  talented  team  from  Hazelwood  School, 
England,  the  SMUS  boys  were  pnmed  for  an  exciting  week  of  touring  and  soccer  in  Eastern  Canada. 

During  the  course  of  the  week  long  stay,  the  team  visited  Toronto  where  they  were  billeted  by  St.  Andrews  College 
in  Aurora,  Ontario,  Highlights  were,  most  definitely,  going  up  the  CN  tower,  watching  the  Toronto  Raptors  practice 
at  the  Skydome  while  we  ate  lunch  at  the  Hard  Rock  Cafe,  and,  of  course,  a  tour  of  the  Hockey  Hall  of  Fame. 
After  a  four  hour  train  nde  to  Ottawa,  the  boys  met  their  billets  at  Ashbury  and  Fraser  Lee,  one  of  two  Grade  VI  boys 
on  the  team,  courageously  volunteered  to  stay  with  an  Ashbury  family  on  his  own.  (All  other  boys  were  billeted  in 
pairs  or  triples!)  The  next  day  was  a  busy  one  indeed!  The  sights  of  Old  Town  Ottawa,  a  tour  of  the  Parliament 
buildings  (including  a  meeting  with  Victoria  MP  David  Anderson)  and  a  visit  to  the  Heart  Institute  were  the  highlights 
of  a  busy  day! 

Although  SMUS  won  one,  lost  one,  and  tied  one  game  on  opening  day,  the  boys  managed  to  reorganize  and 
revitalize  to  go  undefeated  on  the  second  day  winning  all  three  games.  On  Saturday,  the  team  lost  a  close  2-1 
decision  to  St.  Andrews  College  and  finished  the  tour  with  a  4-2-1  record. 

All  in  all,  the  season  proved  to  be  a  most  successful  one.  Leadership  was  well  provided  by  captains  Matt  Lemay 
and  Mike  Pyke  and  both  Justin  Binab  and  Matt  Woodland  were  recognized  for  their  outstanding  performances  at  the 
tournament.  The  greatest  success,  however,  came  with  the  dignified,  mature  manner  in  which  they  represented  our 
school.

We  had  an  enthusiastic  group  of  grade  6  and  7  students  this  season.  Practices 
were  held  twice  a  week  and  good  weather  resulted  in  some  good  games.  The 
team  was  strengthened  by  four  members  of  the  U-1 3  squad  when  they  returned 
from  Ontario.  After  the  league  games  we  hosted  the  ISA  Tournament  on  Oct. 
17th.  It  was  a  5-day  tournament  and  the  team  was  successful  in  the  morning. 
Unfortunately  strong  winds  forced  cancellation  after  lunch.

Under  15  Girls  Soccer 

On  Tuesday,  October  1st,  fifteen  excited  soccer  players  from  grades  7-9  and  two  Middle  School  teachers  set  off  for 
Montreal  to  take  part  in  the  Canadian  Independent  Schools  Junior  Soccer  Tournament,  which  was  to  be  hosted  by  five 
private  schools  in  Montreal.  We  hired  a  bus  for  the  morning,  which  enabled  us  to  view;  albeit  briefly,  some  of  the  notable 
and  historic  sites  of  the  city:  I'Oratoire  St.  Joseph,  Mount  Royal,  McGill 
University.  A  guided  tour  of  the  Centre  Molson,  the  new  home  of  the  Montreal 
Canadians,  was  next  on  the  itinerary,  and  to  our  surprise  and  delight  the  team 
came  out  to  practise  while  we  were  there.     Lunch  at  a  French  restaurant  was 
followed  by  a  guided  tour  of  "Vieux  Montreal"  where  we  were  fascinated  to 
discover  the  history  and  to  step  back  in  time:  quaint  cobbled  streets,  centuries- 
old  stonebuildings,  the  beautiful  Basilica  and  the  chapel  Bons-Secours. 


Thursday  was  the  first  day  of  the  soccer  tournament  and  fifteen  SMUS 
girls  had  their  hearts  set  on  the  unthinkable:  winning  back-to-back  cham- 
pionships. A  variety  of  weather  conditions  and  playing  their  opening  three 
games  on  a  heavily  used  community  field  dampened  their  early  enthusiasm. 
At  the  day's  end,  however,  SMUS  was  undefeated  having  beaten  Ambrae 
Academy,  Sacred  Heart  School  of  Montreal  and  a  very  talented  St. 
Mildred's  Lightbourn  School. 


Day  two  of  competition  had  the  SMUS  girls  playing  on  Lower  Canada 
College's  playing  fields  and  the  weather  being  kinder.  Victories  over 
Hillfield-Strathallen,  Centennial  Academy,  and  Country  Day  School  meant 
that  we  were  through  to  the  championship  semi-finals  and,  as  yet, 
undefeated. 

Saint  John's  Ravenscourt  forced  the  SMUS  girls  to  work  hard  but  when  the 
dust  had  settled,  we  were  through  to  the  finals  with  a  3-1  victory.  We  were  not  surprised  to  learn  that  our  opponent  would 
be  St.  Mildred's-Lightbourn.  For  forty  minutes  we  looked  to  be  in  complete  control  and  at  one  time  held  a  3  to  1  lead  that 
vanished  with  ten  minutes  remaining  and  the  score  now  3  to  2.  With  only  moments  left  to  go  in  the  contest,  the  referee 
awarded  St.  Mildred's-Lightbourn  a  penalty  shot.  The  shot  was  well  struck  and  true  but  Diana,  our  goalie,  dove  and  stopped 
the  ball  on  the  goal  line.  As  she  stood  up  to  volley  the  ball  downfield,  the  referee  blew  the  final  whistle  and,  St.  Michaels 
University  School  were  again,  CAIS  Champions!

This  year's  season  was  short,  busy  and  successful.  The  regular  season  play  with  the  other  Victoria  independent 

schools  proved  to  be  our  best  opportunities  for  the  development  of  a  team  strategy  and  familiarization  with  the 

fundamentals  of  the  game.  We  attempted  to  provide  everyone  with  exposure  to  a  variety  of 

positions  in  game  situations  and  worked  on  skill  development  and  fitness.  The  girls  responded 

extremely  well  and  although  our  win/loss  record  was  fairly  even,  it  was  clear  that  the  team  was 

coming  together  as  a  unit.  In  the  final  tournament  the  girls  went  undefeated  through  to  the  final 

championship  game  in  which  they  played  a  team  that  had  dominated  regular  season  play.  Both 

teams  played  superbly  and  SMUS  managed  to  score  a  goal  and  hold  a  powerful  opponent  to  55 

two.  Congratulations  to  the  many  girls  who  contributed  to  the  year's  success!    S.  Alford  (coach)

Despite  a  very  short  season,  this  group  of  students  developed  basic  skills  and  an  understanding  of  the  game 
quite  quickly.  Our  season  consisted  of  a  half  dozen  practices,  two  exhibition  matches  with  GNS  and 
culminated  with  the  ISA  tournament  in  Vancouver.  We  lost  our  two  matches  with  GNS  but  they  provided  us 
with  invaluable  experience  that  we  used  to  great  advantage  in  Vancouver  where  we  played  exceptionally 
jwell.  In  the  ISA  tournament  every  player  played  in  every  game  to  maximize  their  learning  and  in  the  finals 
]We  lost  to  a  very  talented  St.  George's  team.  Our  boys  have  now  laid  the  foundation  for  next  year's  Warriors.

This  year's  team  consisted  of  sixteen  enthusiastic  boys  who  played  several  games  locally,  went  to  Vancouver  and 
were  in  two  tournaments.  All  players  were  guaranteed  at  least  one  quarter  of  play  in  every  game  and  we  had  a  most 
enjoyable  season.  Our  final  tournament  at  PCS  was  where  we  played  best.  We  won  four  out  of  five  games  and  lost 
the  one  game  by  a  single  point.  This  team  should  provide  the  school  with  fine  prospects  for  next  year  when  they  reach 
grade  seven  and,  best  of  all,  they  were  fine  representatives  of  their  school.

We  Started  off  the  year  with  8  girls  who  had  never  played  together  before. 
Through  hard  work  and  commitment  the  girls  gelled  early  into  a  highly  competitive 
unit.  Rising  above  expectations,  the  team  charged  onto  the  city  playoffs  where  they 
played  with  heart  and  determination.  It  was  an  extremely  successful  season,  and 
I  am  proud  of  the  high  level  of  skill  each  team  member  achieved. 


Swimming 


Our  swim  team  enjoyed  its  usual  success  at  the  pool  again  this  year  with  some  excellent  results 
at  the  VISAA,  ISA,  and  elementary  school  meets.  Once  again  our  early  morning  practices  proved 
fruitful  with  approximately  35  swimmers  taking  part  on  a  regular  basis.  Thanks  to  all  those  involved 
for  your  commitment  to  the  early  mornings  and  your  effort. 


X-Country 


Unglamourous...true;  mucky. ..true;  hard  work. ..definitely;  personal  bests. ..absolutely.  That 
pretty  much  sums  up  the  grade  8  cross-country  season  this  year.  Great  commitment  from  a  small, 
but  talented  group  of  grade  6/7  and  8  students  who  trained  on  a  regular  basis  and  slogged  it  out 
through  some  of  the  toughest  courses  during  some  of  the  ugliest  weather  we  have  experienced. 
Congratulations  to  all  those  who  took  part.  It  was  a  great  year.

The  spring  field  hockey  season  is  shorl  and  sweet,  but  we  had  a  very  enthusiastic  group 
of  girls  and  boys  play  over  a  5-week  period.  The  team  played  great  and  improved  a 
tremendous  amount.  We  had  our  fair  share  in  the  win/loss  column  and  wound  up  the 
season  with  a  great  afternoon  of  games  at  Lansdowne.  The  number  of  teams  in  the 
league  continues  to  grow,  therefore,  the  level  of  play  is  rapidly  improving  which  is  very 
exciting.  Thanks  to  all  those  athletes  who  came  out  and  played  for  the  squad.

The  Terrible  Snow 

When  you  look  left  right  high  and  low 

All  you  can  see  is  this  terrible  snow 

The  people  of  Victoria  have  seen  many 

changes 

But  you  can't  ignore  the  cold  look  on  their 

faces 

The  men  are  angry  the  ladies  wail 

Probably  cause  they  missed  the  Boxing 

Day  Sale 

All  the  kids  think  that  the  snow  is  cool 

"Who  knows?"  they  all  thought  -"  there 

may  not  be  any  school!" 

If  you  go  outside,  you  would  likely  fall 

Even  worse  you  couldn't  even  go  to  the 

mall 

The  mall  owner  told  everyone  that  he 

chose 

That  all  the  stores  would  have  to  close 

It's  easy  to  say  and  easy  to  show 

That  most  of  Victoria  really  hates  snow!

The  Ballad  of  the  Snowball  Fight 

My  brother  and  I  were  out  in  the  snow, 
We  were  laughing  and  smiling,  our  eyes  all  aglow. 
The  thermometer's  reading  had  dropped  down  to  low, 
And  I  looked  on  brave  at  my  brotherly  foe. 

Before  I  could  think,  a  snowball  was  zooming 
Straight  at  my  face  at  incredible  pace. 
I  raised  up  my  hand  with  its  burden  of  snow  -- 
I  aimed  at  my  rival  and  I  let  it  go. 

My  brother  struck  back  with  a  rocky  ice  ball: 
The  force  of  the  sphere,  it  drove  me  to  fall. 
I  felt  myself  crash  down  innumerable  mountains, 
And  drown  in  the  ice  of  half-frozen  fountains. 

The  pain  of  the  shock  throbbed  through  my  head 
And  it  lingered  like  hot  molten  lead. 
When  I  opened  my  eyes  I  was  in  bright  sunlight, 
Maybe  I'd  dreamed  the  snowball  fight.  .  .

Volcano 

An  eruption  of 

Roaring  red  hot 

lava 

The  smoke  pours 

out  filling  the  air 

with  blackness 

Splashing  rivers 

pouring  out 

of  a  once 

Solid  summit 

Then  it  stops 

abruptly 

when  the  smoke 

clears  you  could 

have  never  guessed 

that  it  was  once 

a  lava  fountain

Under  the  Water 

Under  the  water,  the  deep  blue  sea 

the  deep  dark  black  is  surrounding  me 

As  I  look  to  my  left...  What  a  glorious  sight 

The  Titanic  stares  up  at  me  with  all  of  its  might 

It's  so  boring  down  here,  its  been  so  long 

They  said  I'd  never  sink,  I  guess  they  were  wrong 

I  see  a  human,  oh,  how  I  let  them  down 

That  stupid  iceburg  made  me  drown 

I  have  only  seven  legs,  and  I  should  have  eight 
for  the  human  that  hurt  me,  I  shall  patiently  wait 

When  I  see  him  shiver,  I  have  fear  and  hate 
I  know  the  next  time  I  see  him  I  will  reach  my  fate 

The  human  in  the  Titanic 

The  octopus  in  panic 

The  ship  is  now  a  battle  ground 

The  seven  legs,  await  the  round 

They  go  forth  into  war 

While  the  fear  of  death,  knocks  on  each  door 

Two  arms  meet  with  seven 

Now  they  both  are  in  heaven

Cloud 

Fluffy  and  soft  like  a  white  bunny. 

Moving  quickly 

Sometimes  slowly 

They  seem  to  huddle  together  for  warmth 

The  tail  is  big  and  puffy. 

They  never  ever  make  a  sound. 

I  wonder  where  they  go?

The  Bear 

The  bear,  the  predator 

He's  so  rare 

It's  hard  to  see  him  anywhere. 

Because  he's  a  bear. 

His  metal  teeth  tear  the  beef. 

From  his  prey  as  they  lay.

The  old  way  of  life, 
Needing  a 
Belief. 

Needing  something  after 
Life. 

Now,  we  call  it  their 
Iture. 
bw,  it's  dying, 
going, 

slowly  disappearing. 
For  we  need  it 
no  longer. 


No  hugs 

Nor  kisses 

No  romantic  rendez-vous  left  for  you 

They  were  all  taken  for  someone  else 

Someone  much  better  than  you 

You  were  too  busy 

Too  depressed,  maybe  tired 

Oh,  look  at  the  time!  was  your  daily  excuse 

You  refused  to  search  for  him 

The  one  meant  for  you 

When  they  followed  you 
You  turned  your  heei  on  them 
They  weren't  who  you  wanted 
You  were  saving  your  love  for  the  true 
But  he  never  came  to  you 

Now  you're  all  alone 

With  nothing  to  do 

No  places  to  go 

No  people  to  meet 

Left  all  alone  all  by  yourself.

The  Canoe 

The  white  canoe 

Glided 

Under  green  branches 

Sped 

Past  rocky  gray  shore 

Swept 

Through  clear  black  water. 


The  storm  is  arising. 
It  comes  fast. 
A  torrent  of  words 
Precedes 
the  thunder 
Of  the  blows  to 
the  wall, 

Anything  in  the  way 
Of  anger.

Love  is  like  the  ocean 
When  you  start  out  on  the  shore 
You're  too  afraid  to  go  in 
Scared  of  what  might  happen 
Scared  of  the  unknown. 

Start  in  tentatively 

Small  baby  steps  at  a  time 

Let  the  wet  sand  squish  between  your  toes 

And  the  water  swirl  around  your  ankles. 

On  some  days 

The  ocean  will  feel  deliciously  cool 

Others  will  feel  the 

Salty  water  sting  their  wounds. 

The  deeper  you  wade  in 

The  harder  it  is  to  swim 

Back  to  the  warm  security  of  the  sands. 

Sometimes  you  will  drown  in  love 
Or  maybe  you  will 
Lose  yourself  in  it. 

Love  has  tricks 
It  also  holds  power 
Love  is  scary 
Love  is  you.

The  Conductor's  Baton 

The  conductor  painted  the  sky  black, 
with  clouds, 
with  his  baton 

The  waves  lapped  at  his  feet, 
with  anger, 
with  rage 

Bolts  of  power  fell  from  the  sky, 
controlled  by  him, 
and  his  baton 

The  conductor's  power  went  beyond, 
he  was  brewing  a  storm, 
or  was  a  storm  brewing?

Volcano 

A  fiery  torment, 

destructive  as  it  is, 

the  volcano  bursting  like 

a  flower  blooming 

the  lava  flowing  like 

jam  on  ice  cream. 

A  fiery  torrent  of  smoke 

and  ash.  It's  destructive 

power  roaring  across  miles 

on  end.  Prepare  for  a  shock 

prepare  for  a  burst, 

you  never  know  where  it  could 

end  up  next.

In  the  Park 

If  you  have  the  chance, 
go  take  a  walk  in  the  park, 
close  your  eyes  and  just  listen. 

You'll  hear  the  birds  chirping, 
the  river  flowing  and  gushing, 
leaves  fluttehng  to  the  ground, 
the  soft  breeze  whistling, 
the  sounds  of  heaven. 

You  really  don't  realize, 

how  beautiful  nature's  sounds  are, 

until  you  sit  and  listen.

A  whirling  force  that  spins 
violently 
heartlessly 
A  razor  blade 

that  shreds 
buildings  apart 
black 
as  a  swirling  dust  cloud 
pursuing 

like  a  stampede  of  wild  animals 
its  black 
dark, 
transparentable  freaky  skin 
it  may  be  soft 
but  its  very 
powerful  I!

Cool  nice  refreshing 

people  are  fishing 

Where  the  fish  swim  all  day 

Where  the  dolphins  like  to  play 

Where  I'm  free  to  roam 

Where  I  feel  at  home 

Where  the  vastness  surrounds 

And  life  abounds 

Where  the  fishes  swim  in  swarms 

And  I  feel  nice  and  warm

Middle  School  Orchestra 


Middle  School  Music  Report: 

Ou  r  young  musicians  in  Grades  6, 7  and  8  have  had  another  busy  but  successful  year  with  many  Inappy  memories  to  recall.  Our  annual 
concert  was  this  year  held  at  the  University  Centre  in  February  and  featured  the  entire  student  body  of  S.M.U.  Middle  School  in  bands, 
string  ensembles,  choir  and  orchestra  with  special  items  by  the  "Scottish"  Fiddlers  and  the  "Three  Little  Maids".  A  rendition  of  Saint 
Saens'  Carnival  of  the  Animals  was  part  of  the  concert  programme.. 


Stage  Band:  Performances  by  members  of  the  Stage  Band  included  the  Parents'  Auxiliary  Christmas  Bazaar,  the  Alumni  Dinner 
Dance  in  May  and  a  visit  to  the  Junior  School  together  with  the  Grade  8  Advanced  Band.  In  November,  they  visited  the  Univer- 
sity Centre  to  see  Rob  McConnell  and  the  Boss  Brass. 

Honour  Band:  The  Band  is  preparing  for  the  Music  Festival  season  and  a  performance  in  Chapel  following  the  orientation  meeting 
for  Grade  5  students  and  their  parents. 

Concert  Choir  The  Concert  Choir  boasted  a  membership  of  97  students  and  performed  at  Chateau  Victoria,  Ocean  Pointe  Resort, 
the  Carol  Service  and  Prize  Day  at  the  Royal  Theatre.  Congratulations  to  all  soloists  who  sang  at  these  events. 
Theatre  Visits:  Our  theatre  visits  this  year  included  productions  by  both  the  Pacific  Opera  and  the  Victoria  Operatic  Society,  and  to 
round  of  the  year  a  visit  has  been  arranged  to  see  the  "Phantom  of  the  Opera"  in  Vancouver. 

String  Ensembles:  The  Grade  7s  launched  the  performing  season  in  the  first  term  by  playing  at  a  Junior  School  assembly  and  at  the 
Parents'  Auxiliary  Bazaar.  In  November,  the  cross-grade  strings  played  pre-concert  music  at  the  MacPherson  Theatre  for  a  gala  concert 
that  included  student  performers  from  S.M.U.  with  the  Victoria  Symphony.  The  Grade  8  class  performed  at  the  Chateau  Victoria  Hotel 
and  Ocean  Pointe  Resort.  A  cross-grade  chamber  group  accompanied  the  choir  at  the  Carol  Sen/ice  and  performed  a  movement  of 
Corelli's  Christmas  Concerto.  The  Grade  6  string  class  was  asked  to  lead  in  a  Tuesday  morning  Chapel  Service. 
The  study  of  Saint  Saens'  Carnival  of  the  Animals  .  which  was  performed  at  the  Concert  Evening  in  the  University  Auditorium, 
incorporated  student  talent  from  the  Art,  French  and  English  Departments  of  Middle  School. 

At  the  end  of  February,  the  Lafayette  Stnng  Quarted  spent  a  morning  with  the  string  students  by  performing  for  them  and  teaching  them 
in  small  groups. 
In  the  third  term,  the  string  students  are  preparing  for  the  Prize  Day  ceremonies  as  well  as  performances  in  the  Music  Festival  in  April.

Community  Service 


A  major  focus  at  St.  Michaels  University  iVIiddle  School  this  year  has  been  on  community.  This  "sense 
of  community"  within  the  school,  has  made  our  students  aware  that  respect  and  kindness,  and  dealing 
constructively  with  each  others'  differences  is  very  important. 

We  branched  out  to  the  Victoria  community  in  October  (through  the  Mustard  Seed  Food  Bank)  with 
our  "Peanut  Butter  Blitz"  and  helped  provide  many  school  children  with  lunches.  In  December,  our 
second  project  was  "Clean  Your  Closet."  The  "Hill  House"  Women's  Transition  Organization  and  the 
Mustard  Seed  Street  Church  were  ovenwhelmed  by  your  generous  support  of  clothing,  toys,  books,  and 
sporting  equipment. 

Our  third  project  involved  the  "Big  Brothers  and  Big  Sisters"  of  Victoria.  This  organization  provides  a 
wonderful  service  to  children  and  teenagers  who  live  primarily  in  a  one  parent  home  where  they 
desperately  need  a  role  model.  They  match  a  child  with  an  adult  who  becomes  involved  as  a  friend  and 
support  person  to  help  them  experience  a  more  positive  side  of  life. 

The  students  contributed  to"Big  Brothers  and  Big  Sisters" through  proceeds  from  the  Computer  Club's 
fund-raising  tournament,  our  March  14  Grub  Day,  and  the  St.  Patrick's  Day  Fun  Run. 

Many  thanks  to  students  and  parents  for  your  enthusiasm  and  commitment  to  our  community  service 
at  St.  Michaels  University  Middle  School.

DIRECTOR'S  FOREWORD 


Mr.  Peter  Tongue 
Senior  School  Director 


Another  action-packed  year  is  racing  to  its  conclusion,  although,  even  after  the  end  of  a  busy  school  year,  activities  will  continue.  For  the  first 
time.  Mrs.  Humphreys  and  her  senior  choir  have  been  invited  to  participate  as  members  of  a  mass  Canadian  Choir  to  perform  in  Carnegie  Hall 
New  Yort(.  to  celebrate  July  1st.  Such  is  the  calibre  of  music  in  the  school  that  invitations  abound  for  our  staff  and  students  to  be  involved  in 
Provincial  and  National  competitions.  Another  first  saw  the  senior  jazz  band  nse  to  second  spot  in  the  National  Jazz  Festival  held  in  Ottawa  in 
May.  as  well  as  perfonning  at  several  schools  in  Ontano.  A  highlight  was  a  reciprocal  visit  to  the  Father  Bressani  High  School.  Woodbndge. 
Ontano.  who  brought  a  band,  choir  and  rugby  team  to  Victona  in  March, 

Once  again,  the  B,C  Honour  Orchestra  and  choir  were  disproportionately  represented  by  our  students.  For  the  second  year  running  the  school 
provided  the  concert  master  for  the  orchestra,  this  time  in  the  capable  musicianship  of  Taylor  Rankin,  We  had  our  second  school  concerto 
concert  highlighting  Chns  Smith  and  Enc  Kim,  two  of  our  outstanding  young  musicians   The  music  composers  continue  to  grow  in  numbers  and 
quality,  and  it  was  wonderful  to  see  the  full  orchestra  perform  one  of  Michael  Kwan's  pieces  on  Pnze  Day,  The  Composer's  Evening  was 
beautifully  complemented  by  a  display  of  the  impressive  grade  twelve  art  work  created  this  year. 

Unfortunately,  the  planned  musical  'Grease'  could  not  go  ahead  for  copyright  reasons,  but  the  students  showed  tremendous  resourcefulness 
and,  under  the  dnving  influence  of  Devon  Hahn  and  Amy  Slegg,  put  together  their  own  Musical  Revue  of  some  of  the  show  stopping  numbers 
from  musicals  performed  at  the  school  over  the  last  ten  years.  It  was  an  unprecedented  success. 

The  grade  twelve  play,  Shakespeare  s  A  Midsummer  Night's  Dream',  saw  some  wonderfully  hammy  performances,  including  Nick  Stanger  as  BottonVPyramus,  Joel  Bowman  as  Snug/the  iion, 
and  Blair  Nelson  as  a  hilanous  Flute/Thisbe. 

The  intense,  at  times  funny,  at  times  tragic.  One  Flew  Over  the  Cuckoo's  Next',  was  superbly  performed  by  the  grade  elevens,  with  strong  lead  roles  from  Megan  Volk  as  Nurse  Patched  and 
Chns  Stolarski  as  McMurphy  (Jack  Nicholson's  role).  Other  grade  eleven  plays  were  put  on  as  lunch  time  theatre  presentations  and  were  much  enjoyed  by  those  in  attendance. 

This  has  been  one  of  the  most  successful  sporting  years  in  the  school's  history,  and.  in  temis  of  Provincial  performances,  SMUS  must  be  ranked  f  rst  in  the  Province  this  year.  The  year  began 
on  a  high  note  when  the  senior  girls'  field  hockey  squad  repeated  their  impressive  performance  of  last  year  in  winning  the  Provincial  Championship  in  Vancouver  in  early  November  This  was 
an  outstanding  all-round  team  effort,  and  the  girls'  thoroughly  deserved  their  success   This  was  quickly  followed  by  the  Colts'  Rugby  squad  winning  the  Island  championship,  with  big  wins 
against  arch  nvals  Shawnigan  Lake  and  Oak  Bay,  After  Chnstmas,  the  junior  boys'  (grade  nine  and  ten)  basketball  team  swept  all  before  them  on  the  Island  and  went  on  to  win  the  unofficial 
provincial  championship   The  school  year  then  finished  on  a  high  note  with  grade  nine  student  Natalie  Lisinski  winning  a  silver  medal  in  the  Provincial  Senior  High  Jump  Championship  (only 
the  second  medalist  the  school  has  ever  had)  and  the  senior  rugby  squad  proving  successful  in  winning  the  Provincials    Few  gave  this  team  a  chance.  Seeded  third,  we  required  victories  on 
successive  days  against  Oak  Bay  (6th),  Lord  Byng  (2nd)  and  Shawnigan  {1st) ,  Captain  Ed  Fairtiurst  led  a  determined,  first  time  tackling  team  to  victory.  Other  Provincial  playoff  performances 
of  excellent  quality 

were  provided  by  the  senior  boys'  soccer,  senior  girls'  basketball.senior  boys'  cross-country,  badminton,  tennis  and  senior  girls'  soccer  teams.  Congratulations  to  Female  Athlete  of  the  Year 
Deanne  Age,  who  has  won  a  full  scholarship  to  attend  the  University  of  Alaska  and  play  basketball.  Other  sports  in  the  school  continue  to  fiourish.including  cycling  and  cricket,  while  ten  pin 
bowling  has  become  a  very  popular  and  successful  intramural  activity 

Once  again,  the  senior  school  prize  day  and  graduaton  ceremonies  were  amalgamated  and  this  year  were  held  at  the  University  of  Victona  Auditonum  Centre,  The  major  pnze  winners  were 
rewarded  for  years  of  commitment  and  excellent  contributions  to  the  school. 

The  premier  award,  the  Ker  Cup,  was  won  by  Patrick  Gill,  an  extraordinary  young  man  who  featured  in  the  National  ranking  in  three  different  academic  areas:  mathematics,  physics  and 
chemistry   A  wonderful  musician  and  prolific  composer,  Patnck  was  central  to  the  success  of  the  jazz  band  on  his  melodic  trombone.  He  also  managed  to  find  time  to  perform  on  behalf  of  the 
senior  boys  provincial  cross-country  team. 

Kathryn  Wynn  was  the  leader  of  the  grade,  expending  enomnous  time  and  effort  on  b)ehalf  of  the  grad  class:  she  was  a  worthy  winner  of  the  Bnan  Dyer  Award  for  community  sen/ice  inside  the 
school. 

A  new  award  this  year,  the  Dartene  McCue  Award',  also  went  to  a  most  deserving  young  lady,  Andrea  Horsman  is  the  first  winner  of  this  Award  for  building  bndges  between  diverse  groups 
within  our  community. 

The  John  Nation  Bowl  goes  to  the  student  who  serves  the  community  in  such  a  way  that  you  would  want  this  person  as  a  next  door  neighbour  -this  year.  Van  Mak,  This  talented  young  lady 
has  led  the  jazz  band  vocals,  and  her  warm  hearted  nature  has  raised  the  spints  of  all  who  come  in  contact  with  her. 

The  Groos  Salver  goes  to  the  student  who  has  put  in  the  most  significant  contribution  to  community  service  outside  the  school,  Ufer  Robin  Featherstone  has  done  a  fantastic  job  tjoth  outside 
and  inside  the  school.  Talented,  detennined  and  caring,  Robin'scontnbution  has  been  enormous. 

It  is  pertiaps  fitting  that  Robin  should  receive  this  award  after  twelve  committed  years  to  the  school  at  the  same  time  that  father  Grenfell  has  decided  to  retire  from  teaching.  Grenfell,  a  larger 
than  life  character  who  has  entertained,  educated  and  inspired  young  men  and  women  over  the  last  twenty  years  will  be  sorely  missed  at  the  school  and  will  never  be  replaced.  I  know  that  he 
is  pleased  to  have  finished  marking  the  last  of  his  thousands  of  red  ink  covered  essays,  but  I  also  know  that  he  will  miss  the  aspects  of  the  school  that  enable  the  students  to  show  their  talent, 
creativity  and  character.  Our  very  best  wishes  go  with  Grenfell  in  his  retirement  from  the  school,  and  our  thanks  for  many  happy  hours  listening  to  his  intelligent  and  insightfijl  discourses. 

This  school  year  began  on  a  sad  note  when  veteran  campaigner  Commander  Douglas  Williams  died  suddenly  of  a  stroke  in  late  Septemtaer,  There  will  be  other  tnbutes  made  to  Douglas  in 
this  Yearbook,  but  I  did  want  to  recognize  the  outstanding  contnbution  that  "Uncle  Willy"  made  to  the  school.  In  the  latter  years  he  was  first  and  foremost  a  trend  and  counsellor  to  the  staff  and 
students,  and  he  will  be  missed  by  all  of  us. 

Looking  fonward  to  the  new  year,  I  am  confident  that  we  have  outstanding  leadership  and  talent  in  the  school.  The  new  student  leaders,  Jenny  Reed  and  Chns  Stolarski,  have  strong  support 
and  considerable  abilities  around  them  in  the  new  grad  class  and  their  prefect  body. 

We  look  forward  to  the  amval  of  our  new  Director  of  Academics,  DrTom  Matthews,  who  will  ensure  that  the  academic  side  of  the  school  retains  its  prominent  position,  as  well  as  wori<ing  further 
to  guarantee  that  all  of  our  students  obtain  excellent  teaching.  It  will  be  a  good  year.

The  valedictory  address  is  traditionally  a  farewell  to  the  graduating  class^  However,  I  refuse  to  say  goodbye  because  this  is  not  the  end  of  the 
class  of  '97.  Although  we  will  disperse  to  the  corners  of  the  world,  our  class  will  not  be  disbanded:  only  altered.  Connections  will  always  keep  us  part  of 
grad  '97.  We  have  built  friendships  which  will  extend  across  the  world  and  last  our  lifetimes.  As  well  as  giving  us  an  exceptional  education,  SMU  has  given 
us  connections  around  the  world. 

In  his  poem  "A  Valediction  Forbidding  Mourning ",  John  Donne  compares  the  parting  of  two  people  in  love  to  gold  being  beaten  to  an  airy  thinness: 
expanding,  but  not  breaking.  The  grad  class  is  also  like  a  piece  of  gold  that  will  be  beaten  by  the  hammers  of  time  until  we  will  wrap  around  the  world.  And 
everywhere  we  go,  we  will  take  with  us  the  glitter  of  gold.  Like  Gold,  we  will  continue  to  shine  wherever  we  go:  and  we  will  be  identified  as  graduates  of  SMU's 
class  of  '97  just  as  gold  foil  can  be  identified  as  gold. 

We  did  not  become  gold  on  our  own,  however,  I  think  I  speak  for  the  whole  class  of  '97  when  I  say  that  the  instruction  we  have  been  given  has 
been  first  rate.  We  would  like  to  thank  the  faculty  at  the  school  for  their  hard  work.  One  of  the  school's  great  strengths  is  the  fact  that  our  teachers  truly 
care  about  their  subjects.  The  music,  art  and  drama  teachers  give  us  opportunity  to  create,  as  well  as  perform.  The  English  faculty  teach  us  to  live  well 
and  think  clearly.  The  Math  and  P.E.  teachers  show  a  gargantuan  enthusiasm  for  their  subjects.  The  science  and  second  language  teachers  constantly 
enrich  the  material  given  to  us  to  the  point  where  provincial  exams  seem  trivial.  The  supreme  quality  of  instruction  at  the  school  is  a  testament  to  the 
dedication  of  the  staff  and  the  wisdom  of  our  leaders. 

There  is  a  group  of  people  whose  contribution  to  the  school  merits  special  recognition.  These  people  must  work  with  irate  teachers,  organise 
events  and  occasionally  even  stay  up  into  the  wee  hours  of  the  night  doing  extra  work.  Obviously,  I  refer  to  the  students.  To  state  the  obvious,  the  co-operation 
of  the  students  is  key  in  any  school.  My  fellow  classmates  have  an  enthusiasm  for  the  material  which  renders  classes  enjoyable.  Also,  the  students  contribute 
to  the  overall  character  of  the  school  more  than  any  other  group.  They  come  from  all  over  the  world,  and  each  contributes  to  the  school  in  their  own  unique 
way.  The  numerous  and  prestigious  successes  earned  by  our  artists,  scholars  and  athletes  are  a  reflection  not  only  of  the  quality  of  instruction  at  SMU. 
but  of  the  raw  material  our  teachers  have  to  work  with. 

To  those  students  not  graduating  this  year,  I  would  like  to  remind  you  of  the  colossal  opportunity  available  at  this  school.  You  attend  a  school 
where  you  may  participate  in  a  myriad  of  activities,  from  music  composition  to  scuba  diving  to  meditation.  Do  not  put  off  your  dreams  until  after  high  school. 
You  have  the  chance  to  follow  your  dreams  right  now.  Take  that  chance. 

To  the  grads.  I  would  like  to  leave  you  with  an  analogy.  If  life  is  like  music,  that  music  is  jazz.  We  find  ourselves  on  stage  in  front  of  the  whole 
world,  who  we  may  acknowledge  or  not:  and  we  are  in  a  position  to  play  if  we  want.  We  are  given  no  sheet  music:  the  whole  thing  is  improvised.  The  song 
has  no  name.  It  has  been  playing  before  we  arrive,  and  will  continue  playing  after  we  are  gone.  The  footlights  are  bright,  so  we  have  no  hope  of  seeing 
our  whole  audience.  We  all  have  stage  fright.  We  can.  however,  take  heart  in  the  fact  that  the  audience  has  no  idea  what  the  song  is  supposed  to  sound 
like  and  that  they  are  jazz  musicians  themselves.  When  our  turn  comes,  we  harmonise  with  our  friends  and  trade  fours  with  our  rivals.  We  hope  to  sound 
good,  but  there  is  no  real  way  of  hearing  ourselves  properly.  Some  of  us  enjoy  the  performance:  others  bitterly  complain.  As  in  life,  the  happiest  improvisers 
are  not  those  who  play  the  best,  but  the  ones  who  appreciate  the  music  most.  They  enjoy  the  music  without  feeling  the  need  to  compare  their  playing  with 
others,  as  they  know  there  can  be  no  absolute  comparison.  Life  defies  criticism,  but  is  conducive  to  appreciation. 

There  is  a  Calvin  and  Hobbes  cartoon  I  remember  in  which  Calvin  brings  a  snowflake  into  the  classroom  for  show  and  tell  and  says: 

Did  you  ever  notice  how  a  snowflake,  an  utterly  unique  and  exquisite  crystal,  turns  into  a  boring  molecule  of  water  the  minute  you  bring 
it  in  the  classroom?  Now,  while  the  analogy  sinks  in,  I'm  going  to  leave  you  drips  and  go  play  outside. 

In  one  way,  our  school  is  like  a  moist  deep-freeze.  SMU  has  allowed  us  to  crystallise  further  by  offering  opportunities  to  develop  ourselves  without 
melting  the  snowflake  it  was  given, 

I  speak  for  the  whole  class  when  I  say  I  have  mixed  feelings  about  graduating.  Many  of  you  I  will  never  see  again.  Many  of  my  casual  friendships 
will  melt  away.  I  want  you  to  know  that  you  will  always  have  a  place  in  my  heart  and  I  will  miss  you.  The  mixed  feelings  come  from  the  tremendous  excitement 
M  stepping  out  into  the  world  after  having  received  an  empowering  education.  We've  made  it,  Grad  '97.  The  world  is  out  there  waiting  for  us.  Let's  go  get 
em!

"He  has  guarded  the  Chapel  with  his  life,  and  somewhere  in  there 
today,  he  will  be  brandishing  his  walking  stick  in  one  hand  and  with  his  other  f 
he  will  be  shouting  "Yaberdabber  Doo!  Have  a  great  life-  'cause  I  did." 

Peter  Tongue 

"/  doubt  that  I'll  ever  be  able  to  forget  my  friend  Commcmder  Williams.  Since  grade  nine, 
when  I  first  came  to  SMUS  as  a  boarder,  he  had  helped  and  encouraged  me  not  only  in 
studying  French,  but  also  in  so  many  other  aspects  of  my  life.  He  soon  became  a  close  friend 
of  mine  and  I  value  every  moment  that  I  had  spent  with  him.  Whenever  I  need  to  laugh  or 
smile,  I  simply  think  of  all  of  his  funny  remarks  and  curious  little  habits,  whether  it  was 
drawing  me  pictures  to  reward  me  for  good  work  or  hearing  him  across  the  quad  yelling 
"Yabadabadool  Meny  Christmas!!",  even  though  it  would  be  the  middle  of  May.  Most  of 
all,  he  always  had  a  way  of  cheering  me  up  when  I  needed  it.  He  had  such  a  great  sense  of 
humour,  yet  when  he  wanted  to  he  could  act  seriously,  like  the  Commander  that  he  was.  I  feel 
very  fortunate  that  I  had  the  chance  to  come  to  know  Commander  Williams  and  I  only  regret 
that  others  didn  't  have  the  same  opportunity.  I  know  that  he  cared  for  all  of  his  students 
although  he  may  have  had  different  ways  of  showing  it.  Commcmder  Williams  always  had 
a  way  of  constantly  giving  me  words  of  advice  by  disguising  them  in  our  conversations. 
Whenever  I  beccune  frustrated  or  confused  over  French,  he  became  intolerant  reminding 
me  that  he  considered  me  a  top  student  in  French,  so  the  best  was  expected  from  me.  At 
least  every  other  class  he  would  sit  down  with  me  and  stare  me  straight  in  the  eye  and  say, 
'^Courtenay,  I  want  you  to  know  that  if  you  ever  have  any  problems  -  cmy  problems  at  all  - 
you  can  just  come  talk  to  your  Uncle  Willy."  He  taught  me  to  believe  in  myself  and  not 
doubt  my  ability  and  I  know  that  his  encouragement  has  contributed  to  all  of  my  personal 
goals.  He  has  left  me  with  not  only  wondeifid  memories  and  laughs,  but  also  with  a 
determination  to  do  well  at  whatever  I  t)y  and  to  dare  myself  into  achieving  beyond  what  I 
expect.  Although  my  heart  tells  me  to  grieve  for  him,  I  realise  that  it  is  selfish  to  feel  any 
regret  on  his  behalf  as  he  lived  a  truly  fidl  and  productive  life.  And  so  with  due  respect  to 
Commander  Williams,  my  mentor  and  my  friend,  I  look  forward  to  the  day  that  we  meet 
again.  II  y  etait  et  il  y  aura  qu  'un  seul  Uncle  Willy." 
Coiirtenay  Mitchell 


"I  went  to  school  one  day  with  a  terrible  cold.  I  had  tutorial  with  the  Commander,  and  he 
was  appalled  by  my  condition.  Sitting  beside  me,  almost  shouting,  he  said  "Comrie,  if 
there's  one  thing  I  learned  in  the  War,  I  learned  that  it  is  sometimes  better  to  make  a 
tactical  withdrawl.  Return  to  base,  regroup  the  troops,  get  a  rest,  form  a  new  game  plan, 
and  commence  the  offensive  the  next  day.  I  submit  that  you  are  in  such  a  position.  You  go 
home  at  once.  Fll  take  care  of  the  paperwork.  Go."

Geoffrey  Adams 


Well,  it  had  to  happen   I'm  finally  graduating   18  years  have  passed  since  I  was  born  and  the  doctors  said  "Those  pain  killers  won't  have 
affected  your  baby  at  all."  Shows  what  they  know.  Well,  graduating  is  pretty  cool,  Tm  taking  the  courses  I  like  and  I  have  lots  of  spares.  If 
school  had  always  been  like,  I  would  never  want  to  leave  So,  Have  I  achieved  anything  in  my  five  years  at  SMU'r'  Not  really   I've  been  to  one 
party  that  didn't  involve  the  singing  of  Happy  Birthday,  and  was  unimpressed.  I've  never  been  on  a  date.    I  haven't  walked  a  mile  in  another 
mans  shoes  and  I  don't  think  I've  walked  a  mile  in  my  own  shoes  either  Sad.  Well,  enough  dwelling  on  my  pitiful  existence,  I'd  better  get  on 
with  the  stereotypical  recounting  of  events  that  are  only  humorous  to  those  who  saw  them   KC,  your  endless  taunting  of  My  Duckys  and 
swoopy  hair  will  be  remembered,  I  have  no  doubt  you  have  laid  the  ground  work  for  deep  psychological  scars  that  will  take  decades  of 
therapy  to  work  out,  KBarnes,  In  grade  1 1  I  drove  you  home  from  school  on  a  daily  basis,  this  year  we  went  for  the  commute  to  school  in  the 
mornings.  We've  seen  Weird  Al  and  SWSE  and  I  think  It's  just  about  the  most  fun  I've  had  in  the  past  five  years.  KBourne,  There  really  isn't 
anything  more  fun  then  hiding  behind  Challoner,  skipping  another  2400  run  is  there '^  BB,  you've  nearly  made  me  laugh  out  loud  at  the  most 
inappropriate  times  in  English  Lit,  I'm  just  happy  you  didn't  get  me  kicked  out  of  class   Scott,  The  truth  is  out  there,  and  it's  got  PEMC  written 
all  over  it.  Well,  nothing  left  except  to  insult  some  teachers  and  class  mates.  Hey  Cam.  Madagascar's  a  fabulous  place,  Island  ya'know.  Hey, 
IS  that  a  bowling  bowl  in  a  hula  skirfi*  nope,  just  a  pnmate.  my  mistake.  Anyhow,  now  that  the  last  remaining  days  of  my  school  year  have 
been  made  awkward  I'll  leave  you  ail  with  some  words  of  wisdom  ,,  "Thank-you  drive  through'

Peter  has  been  the  pride  of  SMUS  for  the  last  four  years   Being  a  model  student  was  never  much  of  a  challenge  for  Peter  Peter  is  a 
natural  leader  and  a  gifted  athlete,  Peter's  position  has  made  him  a  great  favourite  with  the  rugby  team.  N/lany  people  have  been  afraid 

of  Peter  because  of  his  imposing  figure,  but  for  those  who  looked  beyond  his  manly  image

Well.  I  have  spent  4  years  at  SMUS,  and  loved  them   I  have  made  many  close  friends  along  the  way.  or  so  I  try  and  tell  myself  ;).  I

Boy All:  2  schools?  You  can  be  my  2  schools,  baby!      Memones:  Pumpkin  thieving,  poop-deck.  "You  silly  monkey",  Whatever,  Cam

everyone  happiness  in  their  lives.    Good-bye  dahlings! 


Devin  Arnold 


Descending  from  the  barren  arctic  wasteland  of  Yellowknife,  Devin  entered  grade  8  as  a  cowering  little  child  who  spent  his  time  squawking  like  a  parrot,  drooling 
over  a  cerlain  female,  and  generally  trying  to  adapt  himself  to  SMU  life    It  took  his  brain  a  while  to  defrost  from  the  cold  Yellowknife  winters,  but  K.W.  certainly 
helped  by  aggravating  him  a  lot.   Along  the  way,  he  gathered  many  fond  memories,  and  )ust  as  many  nicknames    The  fondest  of  the  fond  include  being  voted 
"cutest  guy  in  gr.  9",  the  "baddy  corner"  -  including  the  illustrious  undenfl/ear  foozball  game  versus  R.F.  and  S  I.,  his  psychic  mother  reading  the  auras  of  his 
fnends.  and  the  ever-growing  list  of  people  to  kill   His  cacophony  of  nicknames  includes   "Speedbaby",  "Sprocket"  ,  "Parrot".  "Kevin",  "Mr  Amold",  and,  of  course. 
the  infamous  "Scrotes"    He  didn't  smash  any  sports  records  (though  he  is  quite  an  enthusiastic  cricket  player),  but  he  does  have  the  notorious  accomplishment 
of  drinking  over  twice  his  body  weight  m  Slurpees,  and  consuming  one  McDonald's  chicken  fajita  for  every  day  of  August    He  will  be  remembered  for  many 
things,  not  the  least  of  which  is  his  fetish  for  14  year  old  girls  in  crotch-length  sailor  suits  waving  magical  wands    not  that  that's  a  bad  thing  or  anything    Devin  is 
still  unsure  about  what  the  future  holds  for  him  (although  we  could  call  his  mom  and  find  out),  but  some  of  his  ambitions  include  To  get  his  bachelor's  degree  in 
telepathy,  to  convince   the  feline  species  to  accept  him  as  one  of  their  own,  to  somehow  make  it  through  life  without  ever  having  a  real  job.  to  marry  Sailor  Moon. 
and  to  be  the  first  man  to  set  toot  on  Mars    Whatever  he  does  and  wherever  he  goes,  we  are  all  sure  he  will  still  be  cowenng,  still  have  a  file  with  the  FBI.  still  be 
collecting  Sailor  Moon  memorabilia,  still  be  drooling  over  the  same  female,  and  will  always  be  a  slacker    He  wishes  everyone  the  best  in  whatever  they  end  up 
doing    To  those  of  you  who  were  kind  to  him,  he  will  remember  you  when  he  is  rich,  and  to  those  of  you  who  pissed  him  off  -  watch  your  backs.   You're  on  nhe 
list",  and  he'll  be  coming  for  you  .

Coille  Atchley 


I  started  at  go  in  '95  and  when  the  light  turned  green  I  was  ott  at  full  tilt,  that  was  until  VY  hit  a  red  light,  and  I  promise  you  that  it  was. 
The  country  roads  caused  some  problems  for  AC  and  the  YJ,  "Hey  was  the  a  curb  you  just  hif".  Over  the  barners  and   past  the  sucunty 
guards  BB  and  I  wandered  aimlessly  until  we  found  double  A  hotseat  and  the  cncket  pitch.  The  fredly  hill  was  visited  all  to  frequently,  but 
sadly  never  spun  for  me  ,,,    I  took  a  small  detour  to  see  some  green  "Yall  run  back  to  your  cars  now".  Then  I  landed  on  a  chance  and 
went  straight  to  jail  were  I  faced  Heaven  and  Planet  rejection.  But  soon  enough  I  hit  a  straight  stretch  which  took  me  right  to  Holland   KR 
look  Its  the  forest  with  three  trees,  SNUPYAS'  I  rounded  a  bend  which  led  to  the  BV  gravel  roads,  and  the  powerline  trails,  I  still  sport  the 
scar  from  the  deadly  ski  pole,  and  once  there  was  a  white  YJ  ABRAKADABRA  its  black.  We  thought  we  were  smart,  but  we  took  a  wrong 
turn  from  Boardwalk  to  the  Cutblock   KR  you  will  always  look  like  a  troll  to  me,  signing  off  Brat  #1.  Gill  and  IVIeg  thank  you  for  taking  down 
some  the  barners  before  I  collided   head  on  with  them,  tvlom  thank  you  for  your  unconditional  support  and  I  promise  I  will  nde  at  H/lilner 
again  because  it  will  be  a  part  of  my  life  forever.  Dad  you  showed  me  that  there  isn't  a  day  that  passes  that  you  don't  learn  something 
and  I  am  greatfull  for  that  One  day  went  your  not  looking  I  will  wander  from  the  trough,  but  until  then  SHLURP  .. 
JD.BB.TB.VY.AC.RG.KW.KK,  DA.GG.MP.EC.I^D.SH  thanks  for  making  my  road  trip  full  of  memories.

Once  upon  a  time,  there  lived  a  girl  named  Tina.  She  came  from  a  far  away  magic  land  called  Logan  Lakenolndonesia.  She  came  to  a 
castle  (  NORSIRP)  named  SMU.  where  she  and  her  stepsister  slaved  for  many  wicked  stepmothers.  One  day.  Tina  escaped  to  a  ball: 
disguised  as  a  devil  she  met  her  Pnnce  Charming  That  night  Rapunzel  let  down  her  knotted  hair  and  her  and  her  stepsister  shimmied 
away  from  her  second  floor  window.  Her  second  year  was  filled  with  new  expenances  and  duties,  for  no  longer  a  servant.  Tina  was  a 
prefect.  The  next  year  was  also  filled  with  fames,  country  singing,  cocktails,  and  long  castle  duty  nights  but  so  far  she's  lived  happily  ever

I  wasn't  sure  what  was  more  appropriate:  "It  is  impossible  to  enjoy  idling  thoroughly  unless  one  has  plenty  of  work  to  do." 
(Jerome  K.  Jerome),  or  "It  is  almost  Impossible  to  over-estimate  the  unimportance  of  most  things."  (anonymous),  or  maybe 
even  "I  always  have  a  quotation  for  everything  -  it  saves  ohginal  thinking."  (Dorothy  L.  Sayers).

With  an  insanity  bred  in  him  by  years  of  being  a  Red  Sox  fan  (not  to  mention  incidents  such  as  Buckner's  error  in 

the  '86  series),  and,  laugh  as  you  will,  as  a  proud  ex-Calgarian,  Sean  came  to  the  school  in  grade  10  and  immediately  felt  at 

home  among  the  likes  of  Sarah  Inouye,  Simon  Grant,  etal.  With  events  such  as  the  tnumph  of  the  Harlem  Pancakes  and  the 

unexplained  disappearance  of  Dr,  Beach  fresh  in  mind,  he  set  off  to  live  in  Tokyo  for  not  nearly  long  enough  and  became  a 

Pokka  coffee  addicted  Japanophile,  Sean  begrudgingly  wended  his  way  back  to  our  barbaric  continent  and  again  settled  into  a 

less  interesting  life,  punctuated  by  events  such  as  the  Swift,  hiking,  hiking,  sleep  shifts  in  Physics  (Jupe  got  the  short  end  of  the 

Eunuch),  and  more  hiking.  For  all  his  amazing  friends  here,  plus  the  Mooth,  a  quote  from  Chuang-tse:   One  day,  Chuang-tse 

was  sitting  by  the  banks  of  the  P'u  river  when  he  was  approached  by  two  representatives  of  the  pnnce  of  Ch'u.  who  offered  him 

a  position  at  court.  Chuang-tse  sat  expressionless,  watching  the  river  as  though  he  had  not  heard.  Finally,  he  spoke:  "I  am  told 

that  the  prince  has  a  sacred  tortoise,  over  two  thousand  years  old.  wrapped  in  silk."  "That  is  true",  the  officials  replied.  "If  the 

tortoise  had  been  given  a  choice",  Chuang-tse  continued,  'do  you  think  he  would  have  preferred  to  be  alive  in  the  mud,  or  dead 

within  the  palace?"  "To  have  been  alive  in  the  mud.  of  course",  said  the  men.  Without  hesitation.  Chuang-tse  replied:  "I  too 

prefer  the  mud,  good-bye". 
Stick  with  the  mud.

Over  the  river  and  through  the  woods,  I  trekked  my  way  and  landed  at  SMU  in  1994.  From  the  unknown  of  Kitimat  as  the  Kitimat  Wamor,  I  lasted 
through  the  beats  and  waterfights  to  eventually  see  the  end  of  the  trail.  With  Rachel  as  my  guide,  I  made  it  through  Science  10.  Robin's  party,  and 
obtained  the  power  of  the  water  weenie.  My  joumey  was  made  even  better  with  the  encounter  of  'Ihe  gang".  Dee,  Stonze  and  Robin.  Another 
year  deeper  in  the  forest,  Andrea  and  her  remedies  I  was  off!  October  rolled  around  and  I  encountered  a  steep  hill  conquered  with  Becky  by  my 
side   With  a  raging  nver  over  the  edge,  and  a  dead  battery,  sixteen  candles  was  celebrated  at  the  top  of  the  infamous  hill.  From  then  on  the  days 
of  "I  don't  want  to  go  to  Physics!",  Camie,  pool,  Mission:lmpossible,  and  was  concluded  with  the  hotseat  of  314.  The  New  Year  rolled  in  and  out 
with  the  adventures  in  Richmond  and  that  "other"'  jeep.  While  Seattle  chats.  Oklahoma  hoedown,  water  towers,  the  hawk,  dance  parties  in  307, 
and  the  Metchosin  adventure  completed  the  second  leg  of  the  trek  As  the  heat  rolled  in  .  so  did  the  hats  of  Willie's  puddle,  seedoos,  and  the  power 
of  the  leep.  The  end  of  the  trail  is  near,  but  will  never  be  forgotten  with  my  crew(JC,  LW.  AH.  MD),  "In  true  greatness,  we  are  never  fully  prepared", 
Jen  and  I  making  History  ourselves,  planet  reiections.  and  that  ■^A/hlte "  explorer.  As  my  great  adventure  is  almost  complete.  I  would  like  to  thank 
some  very  important  people  who  helped  me  through  some  of  the  more  difficult  parts  of  the  path.  Mum  and  Dad,  without  you  I  could  not  have  made 
it  without  you  and  your  support.  Vanessa:  our  chats  have  meant  the  worid  to  me.  What  am  I  going  to  do  without  you  next  year^!  Dee  and  Stonze. 
you  have  made  my  years  here  so  great  with  all  the  laughs,  I  love  you  guys!!...  JAM'  Rachel  and  Andrea:  long  weekends,  sleepovers,  you  are  the 
best!  Collie. pro  skier,  skater/v-baller/b-baller/soccer  ..what  more  can  I  say..You're  tieautiful!!  Jen,Ford..Big  white  here  we  come!  Jenn,.bnng  on  the 
hugs!!  To  everyone  else....aurevoir  from  tamitlK!

would  like  to  thank  for  making  school  enjoyable:  Mr,  Leggat.  IVIrs.  Skinner.  Mr  J.  and  Mrs.  Humphreys.   Y'  all  are  so  cool.   Lauren-  Cream

me  the  opportunity  to  live  through  these  memories.  And  now.  some  thoughts  to  ponder. 

Maybe  in  order  to  understand  mankind,  we  have  to  look  at  the  word  itself:  "Mankind".  Basically,  it  is  made  up  of  two  separate  words- 
mank"  and  "ind".  What  do  these  words  mean?  It  is  a  mystery,  and  that's  why  so  is  mankind."  -Jack  Handey 

Perhaps,  if  I  am  very  lucky,  the  feeble  efforts  of  my  lifetime  will  someday  be  noticed,  and  maybe,  in  some  small  way,  they  will  be 
acknowledged  as  the  greatest  worlds  of  genius  created  by  man."  -Jack  Handey

It  has  been  a  long  three  years  at  SMUS  and  the  boarding  house.  Full  of  fun  and  sad  experiences  throughout  the  years.  But  after 
all,  it  IS  almost  the  end  of  the  high  school  life.  We  are  all  going  to  get  a  new  life,  a  different  life  from  now.  Even  though  each  of  us 
has  a  different  destination  but  we  shall  still  remember  each  other,  and  in  the  next  ten  years  hopefully  we  will  have  a  wondrtui 
reunion  of  Grad  '97.  But  it  is  still  a  long  way  to  go.  Whatever  will  happen  in  the  future  I  will  never  forget  what  the  teachers  and 
friends  have  done  for  me.  At  last  I  will  say  good  bye  to  everyone  and  best  of  luck  to  you  all.

Well...  I'm  finally  outty.   My  sentence  is  over.   It's  been  a  long,  long  road  but  it's  finally  over  and  I'm  off  to  bigger  and  better 
things.  There  is  no  way  that  I  would  have  made  it  without  my  doggs.  so  I'd  like  to  say  what's  up  to  a  few  people,  G.G..

see  you  at  Mcdonald's  and  next  year  we'll  make  an  even  bigger  sculpture,  CM.,  we've  had  a  lot  to  talk  about,  keep  eatin' 
that  feta  and  comin'  up  with  those  hunchchoppiing  "Skyros  styles",  harubdubdube,  we  got  blamed  for  it  all  but  we're  still

really  are  a  circus....  do  you  want  to  join  that  club  now?  Of  course  a  special  thank  you  goes  out  to  my  parents,  who  put  up 
with  all  the  things  I  did  and  didn't  disown  me.  I  almost  forgot  thanks  to  all  the  staff  that  was  so  anxious  to  get  rid  of  me.... 
picture  me  rollin'!  Peace!

A  refugee  from  Lambi  in  the  public  school  system  I  arrived  in  these  hallowed  halls  in  grade  1 1  and  have  never  been  the  same  since    Alone  and  afraid  I  was 
quickly  befriended  by  a  talkative  Greek  boy  who  introduced  me  to  a  Polish  scoundrel  with  indestructible  hair    Unavoidably  I  was  corrupted  in  a  matter  of 
days,  and  the  sweet,  shy  boy  who  had  arrived  at  SMUS  was  no  more    Seeing  that  life  at  SMUS  had  the  potential  to  be  very  bonng  I  quickly  reacted  joining 
a  consortium  of  new  students  with  similar  anti-establishment  tendencies   Joined  by  an  escaped  circus  performer  who  did  his  act  in  nghtfield  in  the 
summertime  we  went  about  making  life  more  interesting    In  the  fall  I  dnbbled  a  soccer  ball  down  the  field  but  it  wasn't  enough    I  decided  to  try  my  hand  at 
bouncing  a  ball    This  led  to  three  months  of  picking  splinters  out  of  my  ass  and  a  love  for  basketball  that  was  to  be  short  lived    January  to  June  were  the 
black  months,  when  a  malevolent  evil  controlled  my  life  with  a  spiked  whip  and  will  not  be  spoken  of  henceforth.  In  the  intervening  summer  I  pursued  my 
professional  baseball  dream  only  to  be  thwarted  by  a  malignant  ankle    As  my  Grade  12  year  rolled  about  I  possessed  a  new  confidence  and  surety  in  my 
surroundings    Also  my  old  trend  JB  had  escaped  the  clutches  of  Lambi  and  joined  me    Apparently  he  had  quite  a  night  of  festivities,  although  I  was  there  I 

don't  quite  remember ,  D  D  s  employment  at  Kmart  equaled  discount  pnces  for  our  small  clan,  with  their  generosity  rivalled  only  by  the  tuck  shop's. 

Writing  this  in  December  I  know  that  the  best  is  yet  to  come,  but  it  has  already  been  fun    Thanks  to  MP,  for  the  putting  up  with  me  while  I  complain  about 
my  problems  (your  taste  in  music  has  rubbed  off)    D  D  -picture  me  rolling    C  M  -don't  lake  the  |oke  too  far   J,\/  -i-GG-a  couple  of  players,  GT  -whipped 
D  S-we  rule  the  soccer  field,  J  B  -you  gotta  team  your  limit.  Thanks  to  all  the  people  who've  made  my  stay  at  SMU  an  enjoyable  one  and  thanks  to  my 
parents  for  putting  up  with  me.

Well,  it  took  seven  long  years  of  blood,  sweat  and  tears,  but  I  can  finally  declare  with  pride  that  I  made  it.  Yes.  I  have  learned  hov, 

to  tie  my  own  tie.  Thank  you  to  all  who  believed  In  me. 

To  be  serious  though.  I  could  possibly  do  justice  to  all  the  events  and  all  people  involved  in  my  strife  at  this  school  over  the  last 

seven  years  in  this  tiny  write  up.  Thank  you  to  my  teachers  for  their  understanding  and  support,  and  thanks  to  my  friends  for 

helping  to  create  so  many  memories  both  bad  and  good.  With  that.  I  close  and  burn  the  book  on  my  life  at  SMUS. 

Well.  I'd  like  to  thank  my  friends  A.B.C  and  D  for  all  the  memories,  see  ya  round  E.  F  and  G!  Ever  lend  money  to  H.  I.  J,  or  K, 

you'll  get  it  back  (if  you  know  what  I  mean).  L.  M  and  N  are  just  crazy  guys  who  will  be  missed,  but  not  as  much  as  O.  P.  Q.  R  and 

S.  If  you're  ever  down.  T.  U  and  V  will  be  there  for  you.  W.  X  and  Y  I'll  miss  you  all.  but  hey  Z,  who  loves  ya  baby?

Rachel  Gardiner 


■Rachum'  came  to  SMU  in  the  first  grade,  the  picture  of  innocence.  She  was  quickly  molded  into  the  ideal  smu  student, 
and  has  vague  recollections  of  chickens  and  snowball  detentions  with  RF.  She  soon  learnt  the  ways  of  the  world  in  grade 
9  with  her  introduction  to  SMU  cast  parties.  The  last  three  years  brought  AC  and  AH  which  led  to  post  dance  traditions  in 
Timmis  and  3  am  prefect  meetings  in  316.  The  honorary  boarder  has  shown  her  talents  as  a  musician,  a  devoted  prefect 
(can  I  borrow  your  tie?)  and  as  a  defender  on  the  first  XI  field  hockey  team.   Known  for  her  obsessions  with  jeeps, 
chocolate  and  the  wrong  pyjama  pants,  she  is  easily  recognized  by  her  "thinking  face'.  Rachel's  many  memories  at  smu 
will  never  die,  especially:  breaking  the  car(s)... bravo!. ..making  statements  with  V... brass  undies  (Oklahoma). ..patience  is  a 
what?. ..the  good  the  bad  and  the  mikes. ..doesn't  that  music  just  make  you  want  to  dance?. .."I'm  not  saying  a 
word!"...omniousoddness  ...waterfights  ...serenades  ...cmos  ...chem  shots. ..talks  with  MP(both  of  you)  and 
JD(clammy)...CA(my  twin). ..and  dreams  of  McGill  with  Mitz.  Always  remember,  follow  you  instinct  and  live  simple.

Patrick  Gill 


In  the  end,  all  will  be  irrelevant,  but  do  not  weep:  life  is  valuable  for  its  content,  for  life  itself.  The  bad  will  be  a  foil  for  the 
good.  "Bad"  and  "good "  are  relative.  The  joy  in  life  will  come  from  perception  itself,  not  from  content. 
I  came  to  SMU  in  grade  seven.   I  was  often  perceived  as  being  academic,  but  really  I  am  just  intense.  I  will  remember 
chamomile  tea.  hobnobs  and  camping.   I  love  music,  nature  and  the  persuit  of  truth.  When  I  leave  SMU.  I  won't  play  by  the 
unwritten  rules. 

A  big  thank  you  goes  to  all  my  friends  who  tolerate  my  insane  ramblings  and  untempered  idealism. 
It's  a  big  world.  Go  get  em!

quite  gotten  used  to  Victoria's  year  long  drougfit.  and  feels  more  at  home  on  a  ranch  with  her  wranglers  and  plenty  of  horses  to  nde!  Now  that  she  is  eighteen 
her  trips  to  Calgary  have  become  much  more  frequent  (wonder  why"?!)  In  grade  1 1  there  was  the  gomer  patrol,  and  good  stuff,  which  soon  moved  on  to  gomif, 
snarf  and  good  deal  when  the  patent  wore  out.  Buibi,  B-man  and  the  Butthead  moved  on  to  happier  grounds,  and  we  are  now  left  with  the  Bull  Rider  Then  again 
there  was  that  Blenz  fellow,  and  good  old  whasis  name  from  Johns  place  Our  weekly  runs  ceased  to  exist  when  the  mono  hit.  (step  away  from  that  van)  Then, 
there  was  the  ever  so  interesting  paunch  fixation,  and  the  constant  prayers  that  Domino's  &  Orange  Julius  would  live  forever  (and  move  to  V\/illiams  Lake!)  The 
Singia  mobile  peels  oft  as  trends  watch  in  horror  ..thank  good  for  holy  '#'>&  handles!  The  hysterical  Forum  calls  will  never  be  forgotten,  followed  by  peas  on

Yusuf  Harsono 

Yusuf  came  to  S.M.U  in  1992  from  Indonesia  as  a  boarder  with  poor  English.  He  settled  in  Symons  house  and  quickly  picked  up  his 
English  skills  as  he  quickly  made  a  lots  of  fnends.  However,  he  was  a  quiet  boy  until  he  met  and  became  a  roommate  with  FYMA  in 
grade  10.  He  remembered  the  good  time  with  JTB,  SH,  AY,  CH,  DL  &  DH  in  room  #309  and  #316  ie:  partying  at  night  such  as  playing 

cards,  ordering  pizza etc. 

Also  he  is  going  to  miss  activities  with  IT  the  tree.  LL  the  itil  man  and  to  the  Symons  crew  (  Cash,  Fly,  Moe,  Si-Fu,  Ah-Bae,  FYMA,  and

Had  I  known  the  ominous  sky  of  one  September  night  of  1995  signalled  the  coming  of  "Little  Mich"'  (vlich's  Destiny  with  SMU  has 
already  begun.  Being  Mark  Haus  (Grad  '95)  sister,  she  becomes  quickly  known  and  remembered  by  everyone.  Tiny  In  size,  better  yet 
her  enormous  contribution  at  SMU  makes  her  visible  everywhere  :  Yearbook,  Track  and  Field,  Badminton,  Band,  Computer  Lab, 
Biology  Lab,  Golf  Course...  As  of  her  destiny,  she  meets  SO  who  takes  her  as  a  nval  in  being  "characteristic"  (i.e.  weird)  yet  humorous, 
Mich,  being  a  very  organized,  keeps  up  getting  high  academic  grades  as  well  as  being  a  all  rounded  student  and  consequentially  has 
succeeded  in  being  one  of  the  most-liked  prefect  of  Timmis  House.  Not  only  has  she  made  so  many  friends,  she  manages  to  have 
"absolutely  no  enemy",  -  except  when  she  momentarily  arouses  people's  anger  by  cheenng  <— >  teasing  people  running  2400m. 
Finally,  a  personal  appreciation  from  "you  know  who"  for  keeping  good  track  of  her  (you  know  who)  Guy  h  istory.  It  was  worth  "Choco-

Shingo  Hirao 

Shingo  came  into  SMU  in  Gr.8  as  an  intemational  student  from  Japan  His  life  at  SMU  was  based  on  playing  basketball  and  having  fun 
with  people.  Although  he  was  not  a  big  Jap  boy  like  Ryuske,  he  still  made  a  basketball  team  for  junior  and  senior  team.  He  improved  his 
skills  by  playing  against  the  Onental  players(Sam,  Wayne,  Mark.  Spike).  Shingo's  big  change  at  SMU  was  after  the  arnval  of  CHUMMY 
in  93'. Shingo  became  a  bnght  boy  and  also  he  became  bad.  Soon,  he  became  a  prefect  party  club  along  with  Funk,  Babe,  Fly,  Moe, 
Rob,  and  Si-foo.  In  the  room  21 7  was  always  a  great  fun  after  the  exam.  Shingo  really  enjoyed  being  with  his  buddies  from  Symons 
House(Mamac,  STATE,  Hilo,  Skeleton,  Dan,  and  Charies),  along  with  Ryota,  Kulapat,  Snowball,  Chink  giri.  Captain,  and  Risa,  He  will 
never  forget  the  buzzerbeaper,  midnight  cooking  class,  and  the  activity  with  Bowman.  SAYONARA.

variety  of  interesting  creatures:  CJ-How  many  words  for  wagini?  Monkeys.  Library  display.  Keep  your  hands  to  your  self, 
that's  it  you're  cut  off.  GS-Little  bro.  Take  a  break.  Raspberry  tea.  Moist.  Kat  &  All-  Maintain  your  cool.  JF-  Monkey 
madness.  Brad  Pit  uncensored.  RB-  look  out  the  window  (surpnse).  Party  room  316.  VL-you're  gross.  JD-  snort  snort, 
bench  warming.  CP's.  AC-Tolmie,  Priscllla,  hold  me!  Free  Falling.  RG-  Cruising  in  the  buick  ,  card  games,  mother  voice, 
garlic  salt,  love  letters.  Casablanca  or  was  it  Gone  with  the  Wind.  Taking  money  out  of  the  jar  is  nothing  like  jumping  off  a 
bridge.  RG.  AC.  AH.  always  the  three  graces.  All  my  girls,  house  raids  rock,  TImmis  Taboo.  Thanks  for  the  memories 
everyone,  and  to  my  grade  eleven  Spanish  class  I'll  always  be  dreaming  of  you.

Jaclyn  Ivany 

Jacki  arrived  at  SMU.  in  grade  10  branded  a  "bleached  blonde  bimbo"  and  leaves  proving  to  be  anything  but.  Jax  has  been  through  a 
lot  in  the  past  3  years  showing  she  can  steal  any  show,  even  a  New  York  off  Broadway,  every  Juliet  needs  her  balcony,  and  sometimes 
you  really  do  have  to  kiss  a  few  frogs  before  you  find  a  prince...  or  C.K.  model  (nght  Jacki?)  Jacki  will  be  best  remembered  for  her  cute 
comebacks,  killer  smiles  and  pouts  as  she  whines  ""I  failed  my  Physics  test"".  I  can  promise  you  that  Jacki  will  succeed  ,.  By  the  way  Jax. 
when  you're  rich  and  famous  always  remember.  I  have  the  car  rally  pictures'  And  remember  Jacki  says...  M.P-  avoid  cowboys 
(especially  those  from  Seattle).  A.H.-  watch  out  for  pocket  change.  S.N.-  retain  your  god-like  status,  R.G.-  stay  away  from  those  carts, 
they're  mine.  B.B.-  No!  I  will  not  unlock  your  window!.  K.B.-  Dave-  E-mail-  it  wasn't  me.  M.D.-  Robyn  rules  the  stock  market.  S.T.-H.G.- 
The  M.M.  fan  club  now  has  5  members.  R.I.-  Are  you  Miss  Victora''  Thank  you  to  mom  and  dad  for  everything,  you're  the  greatest 
(mom  thanks  for  getting  rid  of  those  pesky  cops  at  my  parties).  LONG  LIVE  THE  QUEEN  OF  SARCASM  (you  know  who  you  are).  To 
my  grad  class  thank  you  for  everything.  I  love  you  all. 


Robyn  Ivany 

Robyn,  AKA  "The  Evil  Twin"  came  into  'Ihe  bubble",  as  she  puts  it,  in  grade  10.  Robbie  may  look  sweet  &  innocent,  but  boys  -  BEWARE 
this  brunette  boy-magnet  is  more  than  meets  the  eye!  New  York  city  will  never  be  the  same!  Robyn's  creative,  kind  nature,  and 
(sometimes)  sharp  wit  attract  the  most  interesting  types  of  people  from  all  over...  does  England  sound  familiar?  Robyn  is  one  of  those 
special  people  who  will  always  go  far  and  end  up  on  top.  Thank  God  she  finally  made  it  out  of  the  "A's"  (and  I  don't  mean  grades)  Robyn 
will  always  be  most  admired  by  her  little  sister  (by  1  minute)  "if  we  were  royalty..."  UVic  is  too  big!  How  will  anybody  ever  find  Robbie  for 
advice  between  classes?  A  few  words  from  me,  to  my  fnends,  B.B.,  MD.  see  you  on  Wallstreet  (when  you're  working  for  me.)  by  the 
way  Mrs.  Davel,  we  DON"T  like  your  games!!  PA.,  MM.  Youll  always  be  my  favorite  boyfriends.  R.G.  Til  always  remember  Pacific  Swift

quote  from  my  best  fnend:  "What  goes  around  comes  around...  with  a  little  help  from  us!"

Carys  Jones 

Carys  Jones,  a  proud  Welsh  raised  woman  who  has  truly  lived  up  to  her  name.  Arriving  in  grade  two;  SMUS  recognized  they  had  a  star 
in  their  hands.  Throughout  her  schoolastic  career  at  SMUS  Carys  has  managed  to  shine  not  only  on  the  basketball  court,  soccer  field 
and  field  hockey  turf,  but  also  under  the  bnght  lights  of  the  theatre.  More  than  her  athletic  talents,  she  is  also  praised  for  her  academic 
exellence  in  which  she  hopes  to  persue  a  career  in  POLITICS!  Carys  has  always  represented  the  school  as  a  model  student-the 
complete  package!  Out  of  school  she  is  an  intncal  member  of  the  community,  an  avid  reader  and  a  warnor  of  virtue.  People  are 
naturally  drawn  to  her  chansmatic  character,  wit  and  charm.  To  all  her  close  fnends  at  SMUS,  she  only  has  good  and  wann  hopes  for 
the  future.  To  the  staff:  she  is  grateful  for  all  the  guidence  that  has  led  her  to  the  legend  she  has  become.  Next  year  Carys  is  venturing 
to  Denmark  with  her  agent  to  work  on  her  modeling  portfolio.  She  will  be  deariy  missed  and  SMUS  can  and  only  hope  that  her  influnce 
has  planted  the  seed  in  which  other  SMUS  stars  will  bloom.  So  as  she  leaves  a  trail  of  broken  hearts  and  tearful  goodbyes  she  can  take 
comfort  knowing  that  her  legacy  will  remain  immortalied  within  these  hallways.  Carys  unfortunately  has  to  single  out  an  individual 
resonsible  for  her  above  achievments  and  aspirations,  to  my  best  friend  B.S.  I  will  keep  a  piece  of  you  in  me  for  the  rest  of 
my  life!!  Thank  you. 


Martin  Jung 


Martin  came  to  SMUS  in  grade  9.  Having  experienced  many  tough  times  with  strict  boarding  rules,  he  has  learned  many 
lessons  from  them.   In  addition,  as  time  goes  by  he  started  to  enjoy  boarding  life,  and  awarded  as  a  boarding  prefect.  He  will 
miss  all  of  his  Korean  fnends  especially  YKL.  SY.  RS,  ML,  DH,  JH  and  PK.   Night  basketball  with  SK,  RY,  SC,  SH.  IW.  KS. 
DT,  VL  and  activities  with  Seafood  L.  Cori  L.  SD,  were  his  best  times.  Martin  was  lucky  to  have  a  good  roommate  like  Mitz. 
along  with  KP  who  always  comes  every  weekend  for  a  party.  Thanks  to  the  staffs,  SG,  and  MJ,  who  have  taken  care  of 
Martin.  Everything  in  SMUS  will  be  missed  by  Martin  except  Brown  Hall  food.

Nicolas  Jupe 


Nick  (JUPeee)  came  to  SMU  as  a  dazed  and  confused  seventh  grader.  He  enjoyed  the  many  new  splendors  a  large  town 

had  to  offer  him.   He  also  realized  Victoria  wasn't  completely  boring  either.  As  the  years  passed  (and  S.G.  grew  more 

sarcastic  and  cynical)  Nick  grew  up  and  eventually  noticed  J.J.  was  an  idiot.   Er  hat  lernen  Deutsche,  but  soon  he  forgot  all 

the  grammar  and  most  of  the  vocabulary.  The  best  years  were  every  year  after  grade  nine.  Thanks  to  B.B.,  D.D.,  H.P.,  G, 

M  M..  AND  B.S..   Remember  Derek.  H.L.Sam  would  want  you  to  work  on  your  plies  and  pirouettes.   Now,  in  all  my  years  here 

from  Barrhead  I've  decided  that  the  one  thing  you  city  folk  are  lacking  is  cow  milking  skills.  So  here  is  a  quick  lesson. 

I  Grab  the  cow  firmly  at  the  top  of  the  nipple  just  below  the  bulk  of  the  udder. 

11.  Squeeze  and  pull  down  in  a  firm  but  gentle  motion. 

iii.  If  done  right  milk  should  be  coming  out  of  the  base  of  the  nipple. 

There  yor  go.  enjoy!    NOW  GET  LOST!!! 


Kristina  Kerr 


KRISTINA  KERR  (1993-97)  is  from  Victoria,  and  entered  SMUS  in  grade  nine.   She  has  participated  in  field  hockey,

soccer  teams  in  her  senior  year.  Kristina  plans  on  studying  business  at  the  University  of  Victona  Next  year  and 
hopefully  the  year  after  that  will  travel  to  England  on  the  GAP  programme. 


Jae  Hoon  Kim 


JAE  HOON  KIM  (1994-97)  is  from  Korea  and  has  been  a  boarder  in  Harvey  House.  Next  year  Jae  Hoon  intends  to  study

his  fnends:  K.K,  S.K,  J.H,  K.L,  J.Y,   R.S,  C.Y,  L.C,  S.O,  and  his  brother,  Jae-Hoon  Kim.   He  will  miss  every  one  of  them 

and  all  the 

people,  whom  he  has  known  in  SMU.   He  will  also  miss  some  parts  of  the  life  m  SMU.  and  will  be  missed  by  many  people 

here! 


Sunny  Kim 

Sunny  came  to  SMUS  in  grade  9.  Although  he  had  tough  times  adjusting  to  new  strict  boarding  life  style,  he  has  found  himself 
as  an  important  part  of  the  family.  It  was  a  matter  of  time  for  him  to  enjoy  his  life  at  SMUS  boarding  and  eventually  was 
awarded  with  prefectship  in  Gr.  12.  Anyways,  Sunny  will  be  out  of  the  SMUS  boarding  life  and  will  be  flying  and  running  away 
to  somewhere  in  States  where  they  accept  him.

Well  what  can  I  say  about  SMU?  I've  been  here  a  whole  three  months,  and  it  only  feels  like  it's  been  three  weeks.  It's 
been  good  being  here  though.  Thank  you  to  everyone  who  made  being  the  new  girl  actually  a  fun  thing.  Things  I  know  I'm 
going  to  want  to  remember  later  in  life:  days  at  the  Thetis,  4C,  Tainted  Love,  the  gorge.  Dippy  Skipping,  Holly  and  the 
Sprokets,  the  Dockyard.  Glanville  the  Turtle,  the  skatepark.  Pothole  Daughter,  the  Malibu,  my  times  with  Andy  &  Clif, 
canoeing  to  downtown  (and  getting  stuck,  lost,  and  wet  on  the  way.)  Mr.  Dodds,  Slurpee  runs,  trips  to  Vancouver  and  Mt. 
Washington,  Cowichan  Lake,  LONG  BEACH,  and  all  the  hours  I  'wasted"  just  hanging  out  with  my  fnends  (esp.  Holly. 
Kristina.  Sarah,  Melinda,  Zenna.)  I  had  some  awesome  times  in  high  school  and  I'm  looking  forward  to  having  lots  more  at 
university,  and  all  over  this  planet.  Nancy  and  Bri  - 1  hope  you're  with  me.

Maria  Kwari 


Our  cute  little  (very  little)  "Cobweb"  came  to  SMU  at  the  ripe  age  of  5  and  ever  since  that  day  on  the  steps  of  Barker  Library  where  she 
met  Sarah  I    her  life  was  never  the  same,     Maria's  fellow  lifers  will  remember  her  falling  asleep  on  her  first  day  of  school;  she  has 
improved  since  then  and  can  almost  slay  awake  for  a  full  day  now    Maria  soon  outgrew  her  tunic  and  Carebears  and  moved  on  to  the 
middle  school  where  she  met  her  Fairy  Friends,   It  was  also  at  the  middle  school  where  she  met  her  giant  (well  in  companson  to  Maria) 
friend  Keith  aka  Personal  Assistant  #1  and  from  then  on  the  4  am  chats  began.   When  Maria  finally  reached  the  senior  school  the  party 
era  with  The  Girls '  began,  as  Keith.  Michelle  &  Kath  can  attest  to  after  a  long  night  on  Salt  Spring  where   SS.  Player  pulled  into  her 
port       Maria  will  always  be  remembered  for  her  pre-dance  antics,  although  at  limes  her  mouth  should  be  washed  out  with  soap.   Always 
rememeber  Hello  Kitty  White  and  Purple  hair.  Test  Stress,  A  Certain  Boy's  Obsession,  Mana  Stones,  Cheese  Bread,  Mercedes,  Back- 
Seal  Dnving   Diamonds  and  Gold    Oh  yeah  and  to  B  L,:  'I  did  not  cheat"         We  often  gasp  in  bewilderment  at  the  amount  of  words  that 
Maria  can  fit  in  a  few  seconds,  though  I'm  sure  it  will  reflect  the  copious  amount  of  experiences  she  will  have  from  here  on. 
To  my  girls;  Michelle,  Kath,  Rach,  Case, Whit,  Lucy  &  Sarah  and  to  Keith  the  brat  of  all  brats    So  many  memones,  tears,  laughs  and  good 
times.   These  years  have  been  special:    I  love  you  all  and  couldn't  have  done  it  without  you.  .     ,     ,  ^ 

Well  folks  we  re  finally  here  and  "I'm  sad  to  say  I'm  on  my  way....  "    I'll  miss  you  all  but  whenever  you  think  of  SMU,  think  ol  me  ana 
always  look  back  on  these  days  with  a  light  heart  and  a  smile. 

"A  journey  of  a  thousand  miles  must  begin  with  a  single  step."  -Lau  Tzu 

Christopher  Lau 


The  "Master"  arrived  at  SMU  in  grade  1 1  and  was  given  this  honorable  'title'  after  the  Mid-Autumn  Festival  of  1995,  when  his  new  fnends 
discovered  what  an  amazing  guy  he  was.  Thanks  to  his  fair  and  "shiny"  complexion  and  his  resemblance  of  a  HK  muscleman,  he  was 
nicknamed  "Ng  Kong",  but  later  on,  when  we  found  out  how  much  muscle  Chns  actually  has,  this  title  was  no  longer  recognised  and  almost 
forgotten  by  now.  He  is  now  simply  known  as  "Seafood"  because  of  his  love  for  seafood not! 

Chirs  is  admired  by  his  peers  for  his  outstanding  grades,  incredible  wit  and  his  astonishing  bowling  skills,  however,  he  is  especially 

popular  amongst  girls  because  of  his  great chosptick-like  legs  and  the  fact  that  he  never  gams  weight,  no  matter  how  much  he  eats! 

If  s  a  miserable  fate  for  a  guy,  isn't  it? 

Apart  from  having  a  distinct  Bntish  accent,  the  Master's  sense  of  fashion  also  makes  him  unique.  His  apparel  brands  "evolved"  as  the 
year  progressed,  starting  with  Giordano  in  the  fall,  "Chick'  woolies  in  winter  and  finally  ending  up  with  his  most  "stylish"  collection  yet:  Calvin 
Klein. 

Although  we  all  know  that  Chns  is  quite  young  compared  to  other  grade  1 2's.  the  ever-changing  frequency  of  his  voice  still  makes  people 
wonder  whether  he  really  belongs  to  this  grad  class.  Perhaps  his  vocal  cord  is  damaged  because  he  never  stops  saying  "particular 

phrases"  in  Cantonese,  English,  Japanese.. ..etc.etc,  i,e.  this  year,  he  never  stops  saying " is  the  best!" ,  where is  a  new  grade  9  girl 

and  known  as  "K-mui"  by  the  Cantonese.

Vincent  Law 

•m 
Vinne,  in  all  his  innocence,  came  to  SMUS  in  Gr.8.  Vince  had  a  great  time  in  SMU.  It's  always  fun  listening  to  CL's  pick-up 
lines;  figuring  out  how  to  "inch"  the  Wong  family  (very  obviously);  try  to  understand  DT's  point  of  view,  the  late-night 
activities,  and  playing  Rugby  with  the  boys,  etc.  In  the  house,  thanks  to  his  wonderful,  not  to  mention  thoughtful  and  caring 
roommate-MPreston.  Vince  lost  all  his  self-esteem  and  confidence  in  his  room.   He  found  out  that  the  best  way  to  come- 
back IS  to  say  "Ha.  You  have  the  weirdest  roommate  on  campus!  So  there..."  to  his  roommate.  Vince  tries  to  stay  in  DT's 
room  as  much  as  possible.  Where  he  would  sit  down  with  Danny,  and  discuss  the  only  two  problems  faced  by  men.  He 
would  have  never  made  it  if  it  wasn't  DT's  CONTINUES  support!  Thanks  to:  DEIV&Co's  coconut  biscuits;  MW's  delightful 
smile;  YM's  beautiful  songs;  YA's  telephone  talks;  CL1's  silk  boxers  &  wine-glass;  IW's  worthily  lessons;  CW's  Armani  T- 
shirt;  AN's  forwarding  e-mails;  SL's  meaningful  thoughts;  JP&AS's  -  whatever!;  EH's  snowboard  wax;  CL2's  clean-minded 
jokes;  SB's  entertaining  argues  with  DT,  and  OS's  lovely  mushroom-rice...  See  you  in  the  future!

roommate  IT.  Yuen  also  miss  practicing  of  dance  moves  with  Stephan  in  the  Gym,  although  he  could  not  accomplish  some

Cassie  Lin 


Cassie  came  to  SMUS  from  Hsinchu,  Taiwan  in  Grade  10.  She  was  shy  and  scared  of  the  brand  new  environment  as  a 
boarder  in  Timmis  House. "  I  wanna  go  home"  could  be  heard  from  her  all  the  time.  Her  sweetness  was  soon  recognized  by 
people  not  only  inside  the  school,  but  also  outside  the  school.  She  began  to  make  new  fnends  and  this  motivation  changed 
her  personality.  She  became  more  vivid  and  began  to  accustom  to  the  boarding  community  which  tumed  out  to  be  her "  little 
home  "  in  Canada.  Her  room  was  described  as  a  grocery  store  in  the  school  because  she  had  a  lot  of "  junk  food  "  in  her 
whole  third  drawer  of  her  desk.  Sometimes,  you  could  even  find  noodles  or  cookies  in  her  closet,  because  the  drawer  was 
too  fulliii'  She  was  a  never  grown  up  girl  whose  acting  and  the  way  of  her  talking  were  still  like  a  kid....  Whenever  you 
walked  into  her  room  you  could  always  find  lots  of  teddy  bear  things  and  cute  stuff,  which  were  all  her  favorite,  around  her 

place  Also  you  could  almost  see  her  cooking  in  her  room  every  mid-night'!'!''!''  She  was  kind  of  tiny  though SIVlUS  gave 

her  many  unforgettable  good  and  bad  memories.  She  will  sure  miss  her  friends  who  have  helped  her  all  the  time.  Good  luck 
to  you  all!! 


Joy  Liu  

Joy.  originally  from  Taiwan,  came  to  SMUS  in  Gr.  10.  She  spent  all  of  her  time  playing  with  CL,  B.P.,  A.T.,  S.P.  (5  people 
group  activity,  crazy  and  wild)  dunng  her  first  year  and  had  more  fun  when  Yan  arrived  as  her  roommate  in  Gr.  1 1 .  Dunng  the 
year.  Joy  and  Yan  took  turns  sleeping  throughout  the  night.  They  got  along  well  and  had  a  great  time  living  together.  Joy.  being 
a  member  of  choir  for  more  than  3  years,  is  now  a  member  of  the  Pnma  Choir  (after  her  fine  contribution  in  the  musical  of 

Oklahoma.)  Joy  will  always  remember  her  favounte  song  from  choir  1 2:  Prayer  of  St.  Francis.. ."Where  there  is .let 

there  be  JOY."  Joy-joy  really  has  a  full  schedule  because  of  the  b-ball  score-keeping  and  participating  in  the  musical  functions. 
All  the  hard  work  paid  off  when  she  received  the  scholarship.  (Well  done!  Joy!)  However,  being  more  involved  in  the  Winslow 

House  boarding  community Joy  became  our  House  Keeper,  coming  around  weekly  on  Wednesday  nights  for  our  bath  mats

"your  whole  new  world." 


Silvia  Liu 


I  came  from  Singapore,  and  reached  SMU  in  December  1996.  Boarding  Is  a  new  experience  for  me,  and  I  like  how  one  can 

easily  find  a  friend  just  by  walking  a  few  steps.  But  I  cannot  deny  that  boarding  life  is  boring  and  very  different  from  what  I 
expected  it  to  be.  It  seems  that  we're  kept  up  only  in  studying,  sleeping,  and  eating.  Still,  I  must  say  that  I  have  learnt  a  lot 
by  being  away  from  home.   For  this.  I  offer  my  heartfelt  gratitude  to  the  teachers  in  SMU,  and  of  course  to  all  my  fnends  who 
had  taught  me  one  thing  or  another.   Lastly,  my  special  thanks  to  Renee  C.  Alice  H.  and  Tina  C  for  giving  me  so  much 
comfort  when  I'm  down  and  out.  "Life  is  but  a  game  of  chess,  you  learn  from  experiences  and  will  have  to  face  the  world 
with  a  much  revised  plan  of  how  you're  going  to  live.   Sometimes,  many  times.  I  find  a  mask  necessary,  and  it  pains  me  to 
put  one  on.  But  like  chess,  life  is  about  surviving. ..and  a  little  pain  does  good  to  the  growing  soul.  Maybe,  just  maybe, 
people  should  learn  to  talk  less,  listen  more,  and  learn  to  deal  with  things  more  quietly."  -Raymod  Austen

Yan  Mak 

Yan  Mak  came  to  SMUS  on  a  cold  and  dismal  September  day.  She  was  greeted  by  warmth  from  the  Winslow  Prefects  and  House 
Parents-  The  quiet  was  soon  shattered  by  a  bubbly  and  contagious  chatter,      hoping  that  this  noise  was  not  her  room  mate,  she  sat  in 
her  room  minding  her  own  business  not  knowing  that  this  "noise"  was  going  to  be  her  future  room  mate.   She  had  a  talent  for  singing  and 
was  given  solos  in  school  concerts.   Later,  when  she  was  not  asked  to  sing  solo,  she  decided  to  go  ahead  anyways...   Van's  hobbies 

includes:  Eating,  sleeping,  singing,  and  her  favourite  ..  TALKING  ON  THE  PHONE  AFTER  2:00am She  figured  out  a  brand  new  time 

table  where  it  would  enable  her  to  talk  on  the  phone  and  sleep  enough:  sleep  when  it  is  still  light  outside  and  wake  up  when  it  is  past 
midnight...   She  developed  a  passion  for  sparklers  and  bubbles  somewhere  along  the  way,  which  she  enjoyed  doing  in  and  out  of 
doors...   With  a  passion  for  Winnie  the  Pooh  and  pigs,  she  never  ceased  to  clutter  her  room  with  Pooh  stuff  and  in  her  later  days  at  SMU 
was  nicknamed  "Banana  Pig"    Known  for  her  love  of  eating,  she  never  failed  to  leave  the  sink  area  cluttered  with  dirty  dishes  and  wonder 
how  they  got  there  a  month  later.  . .   garbage  was  also  a  problem  in  grade  1 1  when  she  considerately  "freshened  up"  the  air  on  the 

second  floor  of  Winslow  House  one  day Yan  Mak,  we'll  always  love  you  and  we'll  never  forget  your  "electncity".   She  will  always 

remember.  .  Her  first  year:  J-JL,  OS.  SP,  YA,  SS,  Kams.  AH,  MH,  MW.  AN.  my  manager  EH.  my  secretary  OL...  Good  luck  to...  IW. 
VL,  DT.  CL.  A(K)Y.  Kim-kim:  keep  singing  CN  good  luck  in  all  you  do  PA:  thanks  4  all  your  hug 'n' kisses.  RS,  SD:  Sorry  for  all  the 
noise,  but  love  you  guys  anyways...

of  the  pollutants  that  would  cause  these  disorders  was  minimal:  all  tests  showed  the  concentrations  to  be  safe.  It  turns  out  that  pollutants 
can  be  concentrated  up  the  food  chain  so  that  what  is  safe  to  those  at  the  bottom  is  lethal  to  those  at  the  top.  It  is  worth  pausing  here  and 
considering  that  the  human  incidence  of  cancer  has  been  steadily  increasing  seemingly  without  any  explanation;  But  don't  worry  the 

concentration  of  pesticides  on  the  grass  the  cows  eat  has  been  shown  safe  in  all  tests "So  we  keep  asking  over  and  over,  until  a  handful 

of  earth  stops  our  mouths.  But  is  that  an  answer?"  -  Heinreich  Heine. 


Christopher  Mavrikos 


I  came  to  SMU  in  grade  8  and  since  then  it  has  been  a  very  long  road'  In  the  beginning  I  arnved  with  only  one  person  I  knew.  A  McV  because  we  had  been 
going  to  school  together  since  grade  2.  Soon  enough  being  my  typical  fnendly,  personable  and  talkative  self  I  found  myself  with  a  group  of  boys  who  at  that  time 
seemed  pretty  normal.  J. P..  H.W.,  J.N  ,  P.I.,  T.S.,  G.T  .  C  W   We  owned  the  middle  school,  but  our  legacy  had  to  end  sometime  and  this  brought  on  the  senior

Janika  McFeely 

At  birtfi  we  are  red-faced,  round,  intense,  pure.  The  crimson  fire  of  universal  consciousness  burns  in  us.  Gradually, 

however,  we  are  devoured  by  parents,  gulped  by  schools,  chewed  by  peers,  swallowed  by  social  institutions,  wolfed  by 

bad  habits,  and  gnawed  by  age;  and  by  the  time  we  have  been  digested,  cow  style,  in  those  six  stomachs,  we  emerge  a 

single  disgusting  shade  of  brown. 

The  lesson  of  the  beet,  then,  is  this  -  hold  onto  your  divine  blush,  your  innate  rosy  magic,  or  end  up  brown. 

-  "The  Bill  for  Darrell  Bob  Houston"  from  Jitterbug  Perfume  by  Tom  Robbins 

Thanks  to  all  my  friends  whio  gave  me  so  many  memories.

Andrew  McVie 


Blah,  Blah,  and  a  token  patronizing  Blah.  I  came  to  the  school  in  Grade  8,  left  after  Grad.  I  had  a  great  time,  except  for  the 
homework  and  classes.  Seriously  though,  thanks  to  everyone  for  all  the  memories,  good  and  otherwise.  Special  thanks  go 
to  the  patient  wonderful  people  in  the  Math  department  who  breath  a  sigh  of  relief  as  I  leave,  and  to  all  who  have  been 
victims  of  my  sarcasm  and  just  tolerated  it,  and  to  anyone  who  ever  gave  me  a  ride  to  Starbucks.  Aspirations:  ohhh,,, 
maybe  a  job,  a  family,  maybe  a  house  and  car.  If  that  doesn't  work  out,  I'll  just  create  my  own  banana  republic.  As  for  the 
initials,  if  you  feel  like  you're  being  missed  out,  you're  probably  very  important  to  me,  (Andrew's  Mood  =  tan  x)  Hey  Sean, 
got  a  spare?  Wanna  go  for  coffee?

Rlsa  Naito 


From  Tokyo  to  Victoria,  a  little  girl,  Rlsa  Naito  (Japanese  Queen  by  Saito  or  Untouchable  Girl,  by  CHU)  came  to  SMUS 
three  years  ago.  She's  been  though  bad  experiences  and  good  ones.  The  first  ESL  class  people  thought  she  was  a 
YAKUZA  from  IKEBUKURO  by  her  nose  ring,  the  weirdest  hair  colour  and  her  own  different  style.  Following  Da  Crew's 
tradition,  she  didn't  get  involved  and  always  seemed  to  disappear  after  school  and  Prep,  She  was  well  known  with  her 
huge  bodyguard  <Domino>  together  with  her  coolest  and  closet  friends  -  Da  Crew,  All  i  can  say  is,,,,  those  were  wicked 
times.  We  all  had  our  own  style  and  our  own  routine  but  times  change  and  Da  Crew  had  to  leave  for  no  reason  (Sach, 
Flav,  Flip.  Domino.  Danny),  but  me,  RIS.  CHU  and  Henry 

chilled  on.  Two  years  has  past,  and  she  joined  the  96'  crew.  Whatever  the  situation,  Ris  was  always  there  to  cheer  us  up 
and  was  always  the  person  to  talk  to.  She'd  especially  like  to  thank  PAT  (If  you  want  new  ones,  I  can  get  them!!).  DaMan 
from  the  Old  Crew.  The  three  years  I've  been  here  wouldn't  be  the  same  without  you.   She  will  also  remember  96/97  -  Wil. 
Saito.  Lem.  Fly.  Mahat.  Vas.  Kevin.  Ryota.  Lance,  and  Dave  -  Thanks  for  being  there  for  me.  And  of  course  my  Huggles 
who  have  supported  me  over  the  phone...  I  Love  you  all. 
Love

Yoshifumi  Nakanishi 

YoshI  "FLY"  Nakanishi  came  to  SMUS  two  years  ago.  This  once  short  and  shy  native  of  Tokyo,  Japan,  turned  Into  a  once 
again  short  but  crazy  "FLY"  from  Symon's  House. 

(  Don't  forget,  he  was  a  Prefect)  Known  for  his  unique  attitude  and  insane  speed,  he  was  for  some  reason  recognized  for 
his  unmatched  height  among  everything  else.  His  memories  with  Da  Crew  will  never  fade.  To  his  Harvey  brothers  KULA, 
LEM(July  6)and  VAS,  and  of  course  he'll  never  forget  the  Japanese  crew  RYO,  SHING  and  RIS.  Also  his  roommate  MJ.  To 
grad  '96s  CHU,  FUNK,  BAbe  and  STUD.   The  Fly  gives  his  thanx  to  everyone  that  has  helped  him  get  this  far.   Although 
the  hair  may  change  throughout  the  years,  it  will  always  be  hard.   He  would  like  to  sign  off  by  saying,  'Tve  grown  so  much 
in  the  past  two  years..."  (  Whatever  FLY!!  ) 


Blair  Nelson 

I  came  to  SMU  in  grade  10  after  six  years  at  GNS,  the  wonderful  school  that  it  is  (sarcasm  intended).   Memorable 
moments  on  the  Pacific  Swift:   L.W.,  K.B.  still  got  that  picture  of  my  back''!-that  hurt.   Hey  C.J.,  J.W.,  R.G.,  M.B.,  do  you 
know  what  a  walk  sign  looks  like??-  man,  that  cop  was  mean!   You  know,  the  Galapagos  have  really  big  turtles. 
Anyway,  to  all  my  friends,  best  of  luck  in  the  future. 


Aries  Ng 


Aries  came  to  SMU  in  Grade  1 1    She's  graduating  in  the  year  ol  1997.  and  as  a  Hong  Kong-nese.  it  is  a  special  year  to  her  As  a  proud  grad  97.  Anes 
always  believed  in  strong  Chinese  culture  and  always  teaching  younger  students  all  sorts  of  ancient  courtesies    Her  great  work  of  Art  has  always  earned 
much  respect  from  Jamie,  Renee  and  lots  of  others.  Anes  or  "AH  MOE  "(twin  name  with  MW)  is  a  procrastinalor    She  always  says  that  she's  going  to 
study  but  ends  up  sleeping,  eating,  talking  on  the  phone  with  J  C  and  doodling  at  the  same  time  And  yeah,  since  she's  popular  with  her  peers,  her 
gangster  fnends  always  break  into  her  room  and  interrupt  her  studying.  Loud  people  like  Y.A.,  O  L  ,  MW  ,  G  C,  (in  descending  order  by  how  loud  they  are) 
come  in  and  gossip,  use  ah  moe's  e-mail.  (  Thanks  Anes.  tor  always  shanng  the  computer,  even  when  you  have  tons  of  homework  undone!)    Everyday, 
she  needs  a  lot  ot  calcium  from  B-hall    (That's  probably  the  only  thing  she  cherished  @bhall)  NEVER  STEAL  milk  from  her,  she'd  go  funous!  Every 
weekend,  while  she's  at  Vancouver,  her  stupid  BF  would  call  her  from  8  am  to  2  00am  non-slop'  (15  min  intervals)  At  the  same  time,  her  lucky  neighbors 
would  have  to  put  up  with  nnging  noise  while  trying  to  study,  thinking:  "Don't  they  get  the  point  that  she's  not  there''  Geez! "  At  night,  her  light  is  on  forever, 
"work  IS  supposed  to  be  done  at  night",  COME  ON  guys  don't  you  know  that  line! 

Last,  we  want  to  congratulate  her  success  in  the  past  years  in  smu.  Her  badminton  skill  will  always  win  the  glory  for  smus  and  her  voice  will  always  sing 
beautiful  notes  to  all.  Good  luck  and  forever  young!

Sina  Noureddin 

m 
Here's  a  little  something  for  John  Q.  Public:    I  entered  SMU  in  grade  8  and  soon  found  that  it  wasn't  as  tough  as  I  had 
expected.   Some  of  the  teachers  might  describe  me  as  sarcastic,  but  then  again,  some  teachers  might  also  say  that  there 
is  no  place  they  would  rather  be  than  at  the  school.   Senously  though,  it  opened  a  lot  of  doors  for  me  and  I  have  no  regrets 
for  coming.   I'd  have  to  say  that  my  favourite  teachers  were  my  physics  teachers  and  my  biology  teacher  (hiiight!).   As  for 
all  my  friends,  I'd  like  to  say:   Foley,  you  still  make  me  sick,  but  you  were  one  of  the  most  real  people  I  ever  met.   Scott,  for 
an  "esquire,"  you've  got  some  pretty  white  skin.  Colleen,  you've  trusted  me  so  far,  so  trust  me  when  I  tell  you  that  you 
should  be  proud  of  who  you  are  (no  matter  where  you  go!).  Jacki,  it's  just  a  fro:  get  over  it.   Robyn,  there's  more  to  me 
than  a  sack  of  feathers  (I  think).   Pat  G.,  don't  major  in  chromatography  (if  there  is  such  a  thing).  Sean,  do  something 
about  that  nasty  neck-burn  (just  kidding!).   Amanda,  don't  become  a  chemistry  teacher.   Keir,  what  can  I  say,  the  name 
says  it  all.   Rohanna,  take  care  and  I  truly  wish  you  the  best  in  everything.   Dev,  the  truth  is  out  there.   Oh  yeah.  Colleen 
wanted  me  to  mention  the  drive  to  7-1 1  on  Christmas  Concert  night. ..and  the  lack  of  a  wallet...  Anyways,  thanks  for 
everything  and  the  best  of  luck  to  you  all.

Chantal  Nowak 


Chantal  came  to  SMUS  in  grade  eight.  The  little  Swiss  girl  managed  to  adjust  to  the  Canadian  environment  very  quickly, 
(especially  to  the  likes  of  certain  Canadian  men!).  The  most  important  thing  in  her  life  though,  will  always  be  her  love  for 
music,  particularly  the  violin  for  which  she  will  most  be  remembered.    In  the  last  couple  of  years,  she's  been  in  and  out  of 
school  (more  out!!!)  due  to  her  busy  music  schedule  at  the  Conservatory.  In  the  future,  Chantal  plans  to  study  music  in  the 
States  or  Europe,  and  later  she  will  certainly  want  to  return  to  Canada.

Sharon  Om 


The  "Coca-cola"  girl  arrived  in  SMU  3  years  ago  and  is  now  one  of  the  seven  prefects  of  Winslow  House.  This  night  owl  stunned  all  her 
peers  with  her  intelligence.superb  grades,and  her  amazing  ability  to  learn  fairiy  "useful"  phrases  in  other  languages,  especially 
Cantonese.  Right  now,  Sharon  is  known  in  the  Korean  community  as  the  respectable  Big  Sister,  UNNIE,  or  something  along  those 
lines.  Sharon  can  be  a  real  pest  sometimes,  and  you  would  have  expenenced  this  if  you  sat  next  to  her  in  physics  class  in  grade  1 1 .  You 
would  be  able  to  find  an  exquisite  aggregate  of  "un/happy  faces"  and  "stickman"  on  your  worksheets  when  she  tried  to  explain  the  many 
theones  of  physics.  Hopefully,  Sharon's  artistic  skills  will  improve  in  her  grade  12  year!  Although  Sharon  does  not  study  biology,  she  has 
a  particular  interest  in  other  people's  "lungs"  and  this  word  has  been  in  her  Chinese  vocabulary  for  ages.  She  leamt  how  to  "appreciate" 
other  people's  lungs  from  her  ex-roommate,  ML,  whom  she  misses  dearly.  Sharon  also  acquired  the  "aenal"  attack  skill  from  ML,  but 
she  stopped  the  "bombing"  this  year,  due  to  the  lack  of  human  targets  because  no  one  dares  to  walk  under  her  window  anymore.  Apart 
from  hangin'  with  her  boarding  pals,  Sharon  is  also  involved  with;  ED,DI.EB,OY,KE.NT,CO,LA,  and  her  most  recent  addtion,PK, 
Who's  next?

Serena  came  to  S.M.U.S  at  the  age  of  15.  She  was  a  bit  shy  due  to  the  ability  of  her  English  while  she  first  came  here. 
However  as  a  lovely  character  like  her,  she  soon  made  friends  with  everyone  and  got  alone  with  them. She  spent  most  of  her 
time  with  AT.  C.L.  J.L.  and  her  sister  B.P.  for  the  first  year.  After  her  sister  graduated  that  year,  she  started  living  indepen- 
dently and  grew  stronger  and  mature  for  the  rest  of  the  school  life.  She  planned  either  going  to  S.F.U.  or  challenging  another 
new  style  of  life  in  Japan  next  year.  Finally  she  would  like  to  say  thanks  for  all  the  friends  that  had  supported  her  and  having 
fun  together,  see  u  all  again  soon  ! 


Virginia  Peterson 


To  all  the  special  ones,  (and  everyone  else  that  I  can't  mention  cause  I  don't  have  enough  room).  RG,  you  have  been  there  through  it 

all.  bad  perms,  broken  arms  and  black  hair  dye.  You've  never  let  me  forget  all  the  moments  that  I  wanted  to:  marshmallows,  the  chapel, 

JP,  the  Robbie,  and  serenades.  Remember  the  red  roses,  the  feasts  and  Rueben  (that  was  his  name  wasn't  it?)always  your  EBPLP, 

and...  the  chicken  LAID  the  egg!!!! 

RE,  let's  head  up  to  WL  for  some  late  night  mini  golf,  and  keep  an  ear  out  for  the  truck.  Our  mission  to  find  the  Oak  Bay  Tea  Party  wasn't 

impossible,  but  don't  let  the  trays  dnve.  Call  me  some  time  and  we'll  take  a  spin  in  the  yellow  truck  (what's  your  number  again?) 

KL.  sandcastle  weekend  rocked,  but  no  bnnging  the  boys  back  to  the  trailer  park.  Keep  out  of  hot  tubs  with  creepy  guys  and  don't  forget 

your  visitor's  badge.  Remember  to  bring  your  shoes  cause  the  ground's  HOT!!!  Look  out  for  the  Bikini  B'tches  and  creepy  old  men. 

Never  forget  car  rallies,  parties  dances  (and  all  the  prep  before).  Don't  tnp  down  the  stairs  especially  if  the  cops  are  there  (now  where 

was  that  party  again?-ask  GT  he  remembers  lots  from  that  night  "were  YOU  there''")  Life's  biggest  dilemma-  what  to  wear!!!  I'll  give  you 

hints,  but  not  if  Maury's  on.  You're  always  there  stay  beautiful,  I  love  you  all. 


Keith  Phillips 


Keith  came  to  SMU  in  grade  6  straight  out  of  Sidney  with  the  biggest  grin  and  the  littlest  eyes  you'll  ever  see    Keith  soon  settled  in  to  the  Ivliddle 
School  with  Luke  and  the  gang.   He  remembers  his  busy  social  life  which  included  parties  every  weekend,  spin  the  bottle.  Metallica.  hanging  down 
town,  and  talking  to  Maria  til  4  in  the  morning    In  grade  8  Keith  started  one  of  his  traditions  and  went  on  his  first  tnp  to  Silver  Star.  To  Keith  the 
days  at  Middle  School  were  made  up  of  screwin'  around  and  having  Uncle  JJ  yelling  at  him  and  everyone  else.   As  Keith  grew  up  he  finally  entered 
the  Senior  School  and  as  each  party  passed  by  he  fell  more  and  more  at  home.   Due  to  these  parties  and  Rugby  (Some  of  his  greatest  highlights  of 
SMU)  Keith  probably  has  more  false  teeth  than  PKT  himself    Grade  10  was  all  about  hanging  Russ.  Rob  and  the  guys,  "hacking",  snowboarding, 
rugby,  and  watching  Star  Wars  (Past  times  he  still  greatly  enpys)    That  year  Keith  (Quite)  went  to  Ml  Baker  with  the  SMU  and  spent  some  quality 
time  on  the  hill  with  Duncan  (Spunk),  Shingo  (Shwingo),  Sunny  and  had  to  live  around  a  couple  of  wired  guys  related  to  Mr  Piete    In  grade  1 1 
Keith  decided  that  he  had  spent  way  too  much  time  on  the  bus  to/from  Sidney  so  he  intelligently  C??)  moved  into  boarding  where  he  became  a 
Bolton  Bud.   Keith  roomed  with  Danny  Tang  (DT.  Down  Town)  and  he  will  never  forget  the  memories  that  they  shared    He  would  like  to  thank  DT 
for  teaching  him,  by  personal  example,  that  the  best  way  to  party  is  to  do  it  a  couple  of  times  a  week  until  4  in  the  morning    Sometimes  DTs  "wild 
party  nature"  was  too  much  for  Keith  so  he  found  sanctuary  on  Mitss  (DM  J  H  G  D-T)  and  Martin's  (Marlinno)  floor  where  they  had  parties  of  their 
own!  Since  then  the  2  of  them  (Keith  and  Mils)  have  become  very  good  fnends  (Back-packing  Europe  this  summer)    Now  in  grade  12  Keith  is  at 
the  height  of  his  career,  but  he  still  has  the  mentality  of  a  4  year  old.    10  years  down  the  road  when  we  think  of  Keith  we  will  remember  fancy  flask. 
Raves,  playing  "music"  with  "Mad  Man ",  Dances  (Chandeliers  and  Window  jumping),  his  appearances  in  assembly,  snowboarding.  Bolton  Buds 
(Joint  Effort!!),  rugby,  numerous  hair  styles  (Some  good,  many  bad).  Molding  Mud  and  his  most  famous  saying,  "Anyhow  ..  "Keith  wants  to  thanks  to 
Mana  and  all  his  friends  for  a  great  7  years  at  SMU!!!  To  Scott  and  Todd.  Keep  on  UnicyclinglMM!

Joanne  Poon 

Joey,  the  bananna.  arrived  at  SMU  in  grade  12  and  joined  the  Winslow  House.  First  impnessions:  short,  skinny,  maybe  a  little  manly,  but  on  the  whole 
pretty  cool    She  was  a  buff  gal  and  stayed  in  shape  by  taking  daily  walks  to  1^1  Jae.    of  course  only  to  en|oy  the  scenery.  Her  favounte  pastime:  seducinfi 
guys  and  then  rejecting  them.  Although  after  a  while  she  found  the  perfect  match:  the  stud  with  the  MX-6  who  loved  curry  chicken.  School  life  was  a 
breeze  for  Jo    Instead  of  studying,  she  spent  hours  gossiping  on  the  phone  or  chillin'  out  with  Apple  (EL)  and  B-size  (AS).  These  three  were  inseparable 
and  were  always  making  a  not  (but  who  l<nows  what  rat  they  talked  about')  JP's  rad  personality  made  it  a  cinch  for  her  to  make  fnends  and  in  no  time  she 
was  fully  in  with  the  gang.  Every  weekend,  it  was  impossible  to  locate  her,  sometrady  ought  to  gel  her  a  cell  (hint,  hint)  Coming  to  SIVIU  was  a  huge 
change  for  her  but  she  adapted  well.  She  loved  SI^U  so  much  that  for  two  weekends  in  a  row  she  stayed  on  school  campus  and  checked  in  every  hour' 
Boy  was  that  ever  an  awesome  expenence. 

AS  &  EL:  Thanx  for  being  there  for  me  when  I  need  you  guys.  I  will  always  be  there  for  you  if  anyone  of  you  get  into  trouble.  AS:  Don't  drink  too  much 
juice,  or  else  you  would  turn  to  a  non-German.  EL:  Ha,  another  year  for  you  at  SMU!  Enjoy.  I  hope  you  will  find  someone  who  can  go  tambe  with  you    IW 
&  IVIW:  Don't  forget  to  invite  me  to  your  wedding.  EH:  Thanx  for  tieing  my  Dai  Lo.  Si-Foo:  Be  careful,  don't  fall  on  the  street!  DL:  "Juice,  juice,  I  want  more 
juice "  SS:  "I  love  woo  ying ".  YA:  I  love  you.  bark  po'  CL:  Thanx  for  all  the  time  that  you  spent  with  me.  I  am  glad  that  I  met  you  this  final  year  at  SMU.  All 
those  people  who  "inched"  me:  Watch  out,  I  will  come  back  for  you. 


Mlchael  Preston 


The  memories  were  great  but  it's  the  friends  I'll  remember.  EC  "All  our  careers  are  useless  someday  we'll  be  working  for 
you".  RB  "This  place  ain't  quite  the  same".  RE  "I'll  always  be  a  midnight  joker".  GF  "I  don't  have  any  answers".  VL  "Nice 
point  of  view".   KP  "Remember  it's  not  how  many  times  you  spin,  it's  how  long  you  stay  up  there". 

To  the  rest,  "  Far  better  is  it  to  dare  mighty  things,  to  win  glorious  triumphs,  even  though  checkered  by  failure,  than  to  take 
rank  with  those  poor  spirits  who  neither  enjoy  much  or  suffer  much,  because  they  live  in  the  gray  twilight  that  knows  not 
victory  nor  defeat.  "-  Teddy  Roosevelt 


Colleen  Saffrey 


Colleen  entered  SMU  in  Grade  5  and  was  instantly  a  hit  with  the  boys  with  her  combination  of  a  tantalizing  'good  girl"  act 
and  her  sexy  hair  floop.  Due  to  her  school-girl  phase,  her  earlier  days  basically  consisted  of  studying  and  eight  o'clock 
bedtimes.  She  continued  her  good  girl  act  all  throughout  Middle  School  and  well  into  Senior  School,  until  she  finally  learne  : 
to  loosen  up.   (Not  without  some  help  of  course!!)  She  Is  utterly  elated  when  realizing  that  she  will  never  have  to  play 
soccer  again  nor  endure  another  torturous  2400  meter  run-  both  being  her  least  favourite  memories  about  the  school.  Anri 
of  course,  how  could  we  ever  forget  Colleen  and  her  acute  anal-retentiveness?  Not  a  day  passed  when  she  did  not  bring  a 
minimum  of  12  sharp,  Venus  HB  pencils  to  each  test  (lined  up  on  her  desk  in  descending  size  order,  eraser  side  right).  And 
also,  her  insistence  on  having  a  calculator  during  English  tests!  Soon  Colleen  will  have  her  PhD  in  Psychology  and  will 
implement  her  mind  control  plan  throughout  the  world-  "I  am  the  one  in  control".  Still,  no  matter  where  Colleen  goes  or  what 
she  does,  she  will  always  be  our  #1  floop  goddess.

Andrea  Sam 

Andrea  a  k.a  B-size  and  Goun  De.  arrived  at  SMU  for  her  final  year.   She  joined  the  Winslow  House  and  was  forced  to  live 
with  the  craziest  but  coolest  roommate,  who  was  obsessed  with  cows!!  (T.B.)  Although  she  didn't  know  anyone,  she  was  able 
to  make  friends  in  no  time.  (Thanks  to  the  BIG  LAKE)  Within  the  first  month,  she  got  married  (S.S),  and  was  having  an  affair 
(D.L.)!   Boy.  what  a  FLIRT!!  Andrea  loved  going  for  leisurely  strolls  to  the  park  with  her  two  pals,  apple  (E,L.)  and  banana 
(J. P.). ..you  know,  the  swings  are  fun!!   Everybody  in  the  house  loved  her.  especially  the  houseparents.   For  two  weeks  in  a 
row,  they  didn't  want  to  do  anything  other  than  see  her  every  hour  on  the  dot!   During  the  weekends  she  would  spend  her  time 
hanging  out  with  gals  and  they  would  always  drink  JUICE  together.  (Baby  Duck  Licks!)  Andrea  loved  the  alphabet,  especially 
the  letter  0  (hmm...  wonder  why?)  In  the  evenings,  she  would  be  spotted  playing  B-ball  with  an  aSSwipe  (S.H.)  and  her  swell 
god  bro  (I.W.).  This  year  has  been  great  for  Andrea.   Andrea's  last  words: 

It's  been  a  hella  funk  year  thank  to  all  my  chillin'  buds:  Apple  and  Banana,  luv  ya  4-ever,  don't  know  what  I'd  do  without  you. 
Stay  sweet  and  pretty  always!  S.S.  &  D.L.,  the  coolest  babes  ever,  the  sex  was  sweet,  I'll  miss  U  tons,  juice  buds  till  the  end!

Next  year  Dan  plans  to  get  back  to  the  big  city  to  study  business  at  the  University  of  British  Columbia. 


Amy  Slegg 

Amy's  been  at  SMU  for  an  incredibly  long  time  of two  years.  While  that  may  not  seem  very  long  to  some  of  our  near 

"lifers"  (and  we  all  know  what  that's  synonomous  with!),  it's  been  long  enough  for  a  lot  of  fun and  little  too  much  time  in 

physics  class.  The  things  she  will  probably  remember  in  ten  years,  include  her  role  as  Ado  Annie  in  the  95/96  school 
musical,  Oklahoma;  her  incredible  survival  of  the  cast  party  afterwards;  and  her  even  more  incredible  survival  of  her  role  as 
co-producer  in  this  year's  Musical  Revue.  A  few  of  the  adventures  with  the  gals  (which  we  will  look  back  on  in  a  few  years 
and  say  "I  wonder  what  the  heck  I  was  talking  about  when  I  wrote  that!")  include:  BIG  WHITE,  "helper  dog"  and  the  "DNA 

test",  "oh  my  god was  that  a  cat?",  Shawnigan  and  "let's  go  swimming I  don't  care  if  it's  three  am!!!!i",  the  pumpkin 

and CORN!!!!  adventure.  "I'm  thinking  of  buying  a  Saturn",  the  "and  he  cups  it"  story  by  our  most  famous  story- 
teller and  'brass  undies'.  A  roast. ...er a "toast"  to  Freddy,  Lando  Jackson  Jr.,  Hamster  Ball,  and  to  all  the  gals,  her 

compadres,  C.N.  D.H.  K.K.  and  R.F.! 

To  everyone thanks  for  coming  out.  And  please,  stop  looking  at  my  pants. 


Nicholas  Stanger 

He  sat  beneath  the  mighty  tree  and  put  his  arms  about  his  knees.  Despite  the  throng  of  people  and  despite  the  palpable 
curtain  that  separated  his  world  from  theirs,  he  felt  something  like  a  mood  of  calm  cut  through  the  gibbering  of  his  thoughts. 
He  looked  at  the  glaring  whitewash  of  the  church  and  thought  'turtles'  eggs,'  and  then  he  remembered  a  snatch  of  a 
nonsense  rhyme  from  his  childhood.  He  stood  up  suddenly  and  began  to  lift  his  medical  robe,  but  was  forced  down  gently 
by  a  nun.  Sometimes  he  heard  voices.  Sometimes  they  made  him  do  things  by  threatening  not  to  go  away  until  he  did 
what  he  was  told.  Sometimes  they  made  him  itch  all  over  until  he  was  in  a  frenzy  of  ripping  his  own  flesh  with  his  nails. 
Sometimes  the  gap  between  herself  and  the  world  would  yawn  so  wide  that  he  would  look  down  and  see  an  infinite  void 
beneath  his  feet;  those  were  the  times  when  he  would  run  wildly,  trying  to  find  the  ground,  crashing  into  invisible  things  that 
made  him  bruise  and  bleed. 

-Louis  de  Bernieres 


Christopher  Stephens 


What  can  I  say  about  graduating  from  SMU?  Although  only  having  been  here  a  few  months  it's  been  a  great  year  and 
these  are  some  of  the  memories  I'll  take  home  with  me  of  96/97  :- 

1).  Fnday  nights  at  John  boys'  with  JG.  NA,  JM,  KP,  BE,  ER,  CN,  GB,  ST. 

2).  Surfing  Cadboro  bay  during  the  freak  Pacific  storm! 

3).  Snowboarding  over  Christmas  with  the  boys. 

4).  'With  no  direction  known,  and  complete  unknown,  just  like  a  Rolling  Stone" 

5).  Saturday  mornings  physically  challenged  . 

6).  Some  fine  Victonan  raves  with  AS,  KH,  JG,  KP,  MB,  SF,  RW.

THANKS  TO  THE  GRAD  CLASS  OF  98! 

REMEMBER  -  FACE  YOUR  FEARS  ,  LIVE  YOUR  DREAMS! 


Sylvia  Suen 


Sylvia  came  to  SMUS  in  Gr.  1 1  straight  from  Hong  Kong.  Her  first  impression  to  people  was  a  quiet,  shy  and  good  girl. 
However,  becoming  more  involved  in  the  Winslow  House  boarding  community....  her  wild  nature  began  to  reveal  itself  more 
and  more...  Don't  even  come  close  to  her  in  snow  ball  fight,  you  will  regret  it!   She  found  herself  very  relaxed  and  happy 
during  choir  class  in  Gr.  1 1  and  therefore  she  practised  her  vocal  skills  in  her  bathroom.   Her  frequent  singing  in  the 
bathroom  shows  that  she  has  the  potential  of  becoming  a  famous  and  successful  singer  in  the  future.  Sylvia  is  a  neat  freak 
in  Gr.  1 1 ...  a  single  speck  of  dust  on  the  carpet  will  drive  her  crazy.  Then  of  course,  immediate  action  will  take  place  and 
you'll  see  her  vacuuming  the  carpet  with  great  strength  and  determination.  Besides,  her  sink  and  shower  are  always 

sparkling  clean!   However  the  situation  has  changed  in  Gr.  12 In  grade  12,  she  has  become  more  cheerful  and  prettier 

too!  This  is  all  due  to  her  daily  "beauty  nap"  after  school  and  after  prep!  She  has  a  tendency  to  sleep  whenever  she  has 
nothing  to  do!  To  her,  sleeping  is  very  important!   She  would  like  to  say  thanks  to  YA  (her  ex-  roommate),  SO,  OL,  SS,  YM 
,  MH,  CS,  JL,  CL,  IW  and  AH  for  being  so  nice  to  her.  Anyways,  we  will  all  miss  her  in  the  future  and  her  cheerful  smile  will 
always  be  her  trade  mark!   Best  wishes  to  you!

Connie  Sze 

Connie  (aka  On!  On!  &  "inch-fly"),  joined  Winslow  House  when  she  was  in  grade  10.  She  changed  from  being  a  shy  girl  to  a  well- 
respected  prefect  in  her  house.  Well  done!  Connie  is  "always-known-as"  a  friendly  and  kind  person  amongst  her  buds:  SS.KP 
YA.JL.OL.YM.SS.SO.MH,  and  of  course,  her  roommate,  SP,  whom  she  thinks  is  very  cute  and  sweet.  The  above  are  also  on  Connie's 
list  of  "tVlahjong  Victims "  and  here's  a  word  of  advice  to  ALL  her  "mahjong  legs":  ONLY  play  with  Connie  immediately  after  Thursday 
night,  9pm!  Connie  is  very  diligent  and  can  get  pretty  stressed  sometimes,  especially  during  the  "exam  seasons".  Her  most  frequently 
used  phrase  during  the  months  of  January  and  June  is:  "Ngo  sei  la'",  which  means  "I  am  sooooo  dead!"  in  English  and "  Yo  estoy 
rendida!'",  if  you  prefer  it  in  espagnol.  After  having  served  in  the  Food  Committee  last  year,  Connie  decided  to  have  her  own  "Brown 
Hall"  in  her  very  own  room!  Her  daily  specials  of  authentic  Chinese  delicacies  are  as  follows:  MON-  Chicken  wings  with  oyster  sauce; 
TUES.-  Rice  with  Chinese  sausages;  WED.-  Braised  mushrooms  with  dried  scallops;  THURS.-  Shrimp  roe  noodles;  FRI.-  a  trip  to 
Chinatownli  Of  course,  this  schedule  rotates  )ust  like  Brown  Hall's,  To  those  that  are  constantly  ill:  give  Connie  a  call  and  she  will 
deliver  hot,  steaming  porridge  to  the  Infirmary GUARANTEEDi  There  is  no  service  charge,  but  tips  are  always  welcome! 


Danny  Tang 


"DT"  -  "Downtown!"  "Where  are  you  going  after  school?"  "DT  -  Downtown! "  Everyone  called  Danny  Tang  "DT  or  Downtown' 
He  came  to  SMUS  in  grade  9  from  Hong  Kong.  He  began  by  learning  English  in  E.S.L.  with  VLaw,  EHung....  Out  of  his 
memories,  Rugby  is  the  best  memory  for  him.  He  was  playing  right  -  wing  and  a  long  distant  try  was  always  on!  Four  years 
boarding  life  in  Bolton  House,  he  had  so  many  fun  times.  Every  time  on  duty,  he  loves  to  sing  a  song  to  everyone  to  wake 
them  up  in  the  morning.  At  night,  he  and  VLaw  were  cooking  noodles  and  did  other  "THINGS"  as  usual.  He  will  miss  all  the 
night  time  telephone  talks  with  ANg.  Finally,  he  would  like  to  thank  Mr.  &  r\/lrs.  Cameron  and  Mrs  Greenwell.  Best  of  luck  in 
the  future,  "DT'i  TAKE  CARE' 


Irvin  Tec 

Irvin  <I.T>  arrived  in  SMUS  in  1995.  Totally  new  to  the  concept  of  boarding  (WHAT  ?''''''  CURFEW  ??!!!!THIS  IS  A  ROOM

Recalling  the  first  two-weeks,  the  two  questions  that  would  come  up, "What's  that  smell  !!???" "  What  the  heck  is  Kim- 

Chee!!!'""..  "no  thanx  ,  I'd  rather  order  Pizza. .!!!"(nothing  else  but  Pizza-Hut).  Hey...  he  never  thought  boarding  would  be 
so  funliNever  forget  the  times  durin'  the  badminton  session. .(to  all  the  past  school  players."  never  thought  we  do  it, eh  ?? 
HAHa  <in  your  face>)  <I.T>  being  a  extreme  X-Files  freak  in  the  first  year  would  not  miss  a  x-file  show  for  the  world

"Brown-hall  ''  what's  that  ''"  Then  comes  the  time  where  he  has  to  prepare  for  World  war  3  ...  to  that  dreaded  N.S  camp. 

Hey.  all  good  things  come  to  an  end(always  remember  that,  nothing  is  free) To  all  you  guys  (B.O,  B,T,  laughing-boy,

I  came  to  smu  in  grade  six,  and  since  then  Thanks  to  the  memorable  moments  that  have  gotten  me  through:  AJ.H-  What  is 
the  secret  to  the  cookie  recipe?  Flicking  chunkers  off  the  pillow  at  cattle  point  with  AJ.H.  and  H.G.  "No,  that's  not  an  old  lady 
sprawled  on  the  front  doorstep,  it's  just  Hayley."  Trips  in  the  V.W.van  and  Mt.  Washington  chalets  with  J.M.   Bond  girls, 
espressos(this  must  be  a  joke!),  rumble  from  the  top  bunk,  bushes,  boats, and  hair-boy,  "La  di  doo,  la  di  de".  "Guys,  it  smells 
in  here".   No,  not  U2!  J.C.-my  bike's  making  a  funny  noise...  (  You'll  have  to  excuse  the  initials  and  the  run  of  lame  inside 
jokes.)  "I  do  not  regret  the  things  I  have  done,  but  the  things  I  didn't  do. "My  plans  for  next  year  are  to  go  away  for  a  while 
("we  shall  overcome"), Thanks  to  all  the  grads  and  teachers  these  six  years  interesting. 


Gap/  Tonque 

Gary  came  to  Canada  during  the  summer  of  '85  at  the  dear  age  of  five  as  an  innocent  little  English  boy  and  began  his 
S.M.U.  career  in  grade  1 .  (he  was  sentenced  for  life  that  fall)  The  memories  that  followed  are  ones  that  will  be  with  him 
forever.  Twelve  years  of  happy  times  and  nights  filled  with  great  memories  and  some  not  so  great  memories.  Other 
nights,  well  let's  just  say  weren't  remembered  at  all.   Memories  include  G.F  streaking  the  Causeway  in  his  tighty  whities 
singing  circus  tunes,  the  voluptuous  one  J.B,  four  foot  mystery  dates  courtesy  of  D.D.   Some  interesting  nights  spent  with 
G.G,  J,V,  and  D,S  and  as  for  C.G  and  L.W,  that  will  never  be  forgotten  or  forgiven.  There  was  never  anything  like  a  quiet 
Saturday  night  hockey  game  with  E.C.  As  for  K.L.  my  little  B.R.  you  know  where  you  will  always  be,  S.S.I.M.H.  p.s. 
What?.. ..Nothing!  On  the  athletic  front  Gary  was  successful  on  the  rugby  field  most  of  all,  attempted  soccer  and  basketball 
but  Gary  was  never  quite  cut  out  for  either.   He  found  much  more  success  on  the  old  hockey  rink  and  on  the  baseball 
diamond.  Gary  leaves  this  humble  establishment  with  an  abundance  of  knowledge  in  many  subjects  for  which  he  thanks 
his  teachers.  He  has  also  experienced  many  important  aspects  of  life  for  which  he  thanks  his  friends.

Matthew  Turner 


5  long  years  at  Smus  have  racked  up  so  memories  ifs  hard  to  cap  'em  all  up  a  paragraph.  Middle  school  meant  chillin  with  d.w(fever),  n.s.  r.m 
and  latter  the  legend  r.b.  K.w  was  their  from  the  very  start  and  still  is  4  life.  As  they  say  can't  sleep  mad.  Middle  school  was  up  and  down  but  it 
ended  with  a  bang  and  swoosh  eg  and  I  were  out  of  their  unharmed.  Senior  school,  grade  nine  was  a  long  year  of  learning  the  hard  way.  Don't 
face  wash  gr.  12's.  making  faces  in  chapel  and  writing  a  letter  that  all  most  toasted  cw  and  I's  existence.  Grade  nine  will  always  be  remebered 
as  tour  time.  The  meeting  of  the  bioys  and  demonstrating  our  selves  as  Canadian  coniseurs  of  many  things.  Boys=Trouble  and  their  was  plenty 
of  It  like  going  out  to  the  golf  course  with  Mr.  Lucky  and  getting  in  way  too  deep,  m.h  thanx  .  E.c  was  the  start  of  unexplored  territory  and  the 
name  rookie  really  developed  it's  meaning.  Special  thanx  always  goes  to  to  and  a.a.  Dyre  test  wholy  that  must  of  been  a  record  for  me  and 
m.gd.  Corona  the  magical  tropical  girl,  tall,  thin  and  always  a  good  time.  Memones  of  the  boys  were  always  best  when  meeting  at  the  keg  for 
refreshments.  Senior  years  were  the  best  as  I  could  see  the  end  of  the  tunnel.d.a  thanx  for  all  that  aqua  time  at  elk  lake  and  I  think  you  owe  me  a 
slurpee-400m  will  always  be  the  magic  distance.  B.B  was  salvation  through  the  slog  memones  of  camping,  maracaibo,  car  rallies,  valentines 
dances,  snowboarding,  Oct  22  I  thinkli  and  something  pesky  named  j.p.  Cw  always  meant  camping,  V.Ws  and  hanging  with  m.gd.  I'd  like  to 
thank  everyone  especially  b.b.  k.w,  cw,  d.w.  Hawaii  5-0  comes  strapped.

Pat  Vephula  

The  infamous  Kulaputt  (Pat)  Vephula  of  Bangkok.  Thailand  came  to  SMUS  three  years  ago  "really  enjoying"  his  stay.  Although  not 
having  any  idea  what  to  expect  or  do,  he  soon  became  known  for  maintaining  his  OWN  style  by  his  own  walk,  words,  clothes  and 
music.  Although  not  involving  himself  and  never  staying  on  campus  after  school,  he  somehow  became  recognized  by  everyone  for 
maintaining  his  funky  hairstyle,  consistently  trying  to  have  more  bottles  of  cologne  than  anyone  else,  continuing  his  weekend  routine  for 
the  last  three  years,  and  for  his  unmatched  pool  skills  (to  Bui  and  Chu,  you  know  I'm  da  best!!).  Dunng  his  stay  at  Harvey  House,  the 
people  that  knew  him  usually  had  one  question  on  their  mind:  "Yo  Pat!  Do  you  have  new  ones?"  He  soon  took  over  Saitoman's  "Ego" 
making  it  even  larger  by  looking  at  the  mirror  for  hours  and  no  one  will  ever  forget  his  philosophies  on  women  and  life.  He  will  always 
remember  hanging  out  with  the  Old  Crew  -  Sach,  T,  Domino.  Chu,  Flip,  Flavio,  Danny,  and  Henry  ~  I'll  never  forget  ya!  Especially  to  Ris, 
thanks  for  everything  you've  done  for  me  and  for  the  good  times  we  had.  Yet  at  the  same  time  he  will  never  forget  the  New  crew  - 
LEM,  MO,  FLY,  VAS,  Kevin,  U-Kawa,  Dave,  Lance,  and  Ese  Nen,  -  it's  been  a  long  cool  nde.  To  the  Koreans  -  JHK,  JWK,  and  KTK 
and  to  the  Cantonese  -  D-Tang  and  Gordon.  I'd  like  to  recognize  the  Grad  of  96'  -  Saito,  Vincent,  Bui,  and  Ese  Campos.  Finally  to 
LEM,  MO,  and  FLY,  you  know  I'm  Da  Man!!

Ivan  Wan 

From  grade  8  to  1 2,  Ivan  has  been  a  "boarder-lifer"  in  SMU.  And  although  he  never  really  got  down  to  school  work  like  he  is  suppose  to. 
he  got  through  the  years  with  more  than  he  needs.  Sports;  from  Basketball  in  the  winter  to  Rugby  in  the  spring.  Musical;  from  playing  the 
trumpet  at  7:30  a.m.  to  choral  singing  'The  Lord's  Prayer"  in  Chapel.  Leadership;  from  Head  of  Harvey  House  to  Day  Prefect...  all  of 
which  Ivan  gained  in  SMU  from  day  one  to  graduation.  Relentless,  determined,  and  hard  working  are  what  he  is  made  out  of.  Many  fun 
times  with  D.E.I.V,  (Danny  Tang,  Eric  Hung,  Ivan  Wan,  Vince  Law)  for  4  years,  from  Sliver  Stars  (2  days  ski  -  3  days  rest)  to  the  rugby 
field,  too  bad  it  didn't  make  out  at  grad.  Will  remember  roommates  Henry  W.,  Luis  C,  and  Dan  S..  Special  thanks  to  Bruce  K.,  Ted  A., 
the  Jones,  and  the  Johnsons,  whose  helped  Ivan  through  hard  time  and  shared  special  memories.  Basketball  motto:  "Offence  wins 
games,  defence  wins  Championships!"  "Dream  Senior-B-ball-starting-line-up":  Hsu  Ming  Hung,  Ivan  Wan,  Jo  Ng,  Ji  Hoon,  and  Shingo. 
Never  forget  England-Scotland  rugby  tour  with  Wilson  Chu.  Cori  L.,  Joanne  P.,  Donna  L,  David  L.,TomT.,  Mark  H.,  Michelle  H.,  Sylvia 
S.,  Sze  On-On.  Yvonne  A..  Susan  S.,  Vanessa  Y..  Josh  W.,  the  Js'  brothers.  Sunny  K..  Martin  J.,  Chris  L..  Carol  W.,  Simon  L.,  and  Mark

Keir  Wilmui 


It  has  been  12  years  since  I  first  arrived  at  the  Junior  school  and  looking  back,  a  lot  of  things  have  changed.  Obviously,  I  have  grown  up  .  i 

body  at  least you  can  decide  if  I  have  in  mind!),  and  my  circle  of  friends  has  changed  many  times.  When  I  look  at  the  Grade  one  kids 

today,  It  is  hard  for  me  to  believe  that  I  was  once  that  small.  I  was  once  so  foolish  and  gullible  (hehehe).  and  that  I  once  looked  that  cute  n 
those  little  gray  shorts.  But  I  would  like  to  think  that  I  have  not  changed  completely.  I  hope  that  there  still  exists  in  me  a  bit  of  that  wide- 
eyed  innocence  and  carefree  jubilance  that  all  the  Grade  ones  seem  to  have.  I  hope  that  I  still  don't  take  myself  or  life  too  seriously  —  after 
all.  they're  both  pretty  bizarre  when  you  really  examine  them.  And  of  course.  I  hope  I  never  get  to  the  point  where  I  can't  enjoy  a  good 
game  of  kissing  tag  now  and  again    .  )  When  I  look  back  12  years  from  now.  what  will  I  want  to  keep  from  whom  I  am  today?  I  have 
confidence  that  I'll  still  love  to  slack,  still  be  a  helpless  and  obsessive  flirt,  and  that  I'll  be  equally  cheesy.  Maybe  III  even  figure  out  how  to 

talk  a  bit  less  and  listen  a  bit  more,  I  certainly  hope  that  I'll  always  remain  sassy but  at  the  same  time,  strangely  _irreverent_.  However. 

no  matter  what  happens.  I'm  sure  that  even  50  years  from  now  I'll  still  have  a  smile  on  my  face  and  a  bit  of  that  Grade  1  immatunty  left  in 
me. How  can  one  condense  12  years  of  life  into  one  332-word  yearbook  write-up?  Everyone  else  seems  to  love  quotes  so  hey,  who  am  I  to 
buck  the  trend? 
"I  wonder  if  I'll  be  held  responsible  for  this?"     —  Lucas,  Empire  Records       Good-bye  everyone.  I'll  miss  you  all.  Love  Keir,  your  Euro-stud.

David  Wilson 


Starting  SMU  in  grade  one  enforced  a  prep  root  upon  myself.  This  in  addition  with  watching  too  many  80's  movies  and 
sitcoms  inspired  me  to  bring  back  the  "Brat  Pack".   Snowboarding,  rock  climbing,  mountaineering  and  kayaking  inspired 
me  to  work  a  little  harder,  get  into  a  good  school  and  live  the  rest  of  my  life  trying  to  "work  less  and  get  paid  more"  -  IB.  As 
long  as  you  have  the  fever  you'll  never  be  a  basket  weaver. 


Mellissa  Wong 


Ah  Mo  tirst  came  to  SMU  in  grade  1 1 .  and  the  first  thing  that  fascinated  her  was  a  certain  basketball  player.  I,W.  In  no  time,  she  fell  into  the  river  of  love  with  her 

basketball  idol  and  had  devoted  herself  to  'The  Greatest  l^an  in  Wan's  World",  Memorable  moments:Ws  basketball.Ws  b-ball  games.Ws  b-ball  sweatshirt.Ws 

roses.W's  phone  call  every  night  (sigh) 

Mellissa's  extraordinary  life  style.  Ah  IVIo  is  known  as  the  racoon  in  Timmis,  After  light's  out.  she  would  work  with  all  her  glow-in-the-dark  stalionenes.  Considerate  girl 

always  lip  toe  at  mid-night.  not  to  wake  the  dead,  never  thought  of  avenging  the  underground  musicians  (J.H,.  D.S.)  who  woke  both  her  and  her  roommate  up  early 

in  the  morning  and  would  never  shut  up  when  they  re  studying.  She's  a  mid-night  chef  and  she  sen/es  her  fnend  in  her  sexy  underwear   Weekends'  night  are  feasts 

and  mah)ong  game  with  Mel's  Ah  Moe.  Maggie.  Carol  and  Amy 

Her  attitude  in  class  Mo's  unique  way  of  teaming  in  class  hasn't  been  approved  by  teachers  yet.  She  listens  in  class  with  her  eyes  shut.  Like  an  enlightened  Buddah. 

she's  able  to  absorb  knowledge  and  yet  her  face  shows  an  expression  of  calm  peace  Sometimes  when  she's  attending  in  the  Gardin.  you  might  see  her  watering 

her  notes,  hoping  speciation  will  occur,  but  it  resuNed  in  a  puddle  everytime  To  all  the  house-parents  and  teachers,  "her  grade  was  not  affected  " 

Inside  story  Insane  lion  throwing  snowball  at  the  clueless  ewe  in  the  snowball  fight. 

Special  thanks  to  the  people  who  were  there  for  her  when  she's  upset  and  tried  their  best  to  cheer  her  up  at  times  that  were  most  needed  (though  all  failed  to 

succeed) 

Thanks  to  her  patient  roommates.  M.P  .  S.F..  R.N.,  J.C.,  and  all  her  friends,  especially  Ah  Moe  (A.N.),  and  last  but  not  least  'I.W,  is  the  greatest'.  And  love  to  her 

sister,  and  all  her  fnends  on  the  third  floor  of  Timmis. 

Love  to  all  and  good  luck  in  the  future. 


Kathryn  Wynn 

Kath  was  let  into  SMU  in  1989  on  probation  ...her  school  in  Ottawa  didn't  teach  her  how  to  pass  pnvate  school  entrance  exams.  One  year  at  the 
Junior  School  and  Robin.  Rachel  and  the  viola  girls  whipped  me  into  shape.  The  middle  school  brought  group  movies,  bad  hair  days,  skinny 
dipping  at  Arbutus  cove  and  some  girl  outside  of  Pezzazz  that  looks  like  the  other  hooker  from  Pretty  Woman.  Grade  8  at  the  new  MS 
introduced  endless  lunchtime  loafing  on  the  field  with  the  girls  and  all  the  old  boys:  Jo  dumbo.  Luis  Tequila.  Bush.  Cam.  A  tnp  to  California  gave 
birth  to  Skin — angel,  peepshow.  keep  creating.

What  a  year!!  Following  on  the  terrific  accomplishments  of  1995-96  (two 
BC  championships),  the  school  went  one  better  this  time  round  with  an  amazing 
three  provincial  titles.  In  early  November,  by  virtue  of  a  1-0  win  over  Collingwood, 
the  Senior  Girls  Field  Hockey  squad  successfully  defended  their  BC  crown,  while, 
in  March  in  Port  Alberni,  the  Junior  Boys  Basketball  group  capped  a  dominating 
34-2  campaign  with  a  convincing  victory  over  Brookswood  in  the  provincial  title 
game.  Then,  at  somewhat  long  odds,  on  the  final  Saturday  of  May,  the  1st  XV, 
by  defeating  Shawnigan  27-17  in  the  final,  joined  the  1991  and  1992  teams  as 
BC  Rugby  champions. 


There  were  numerous  other  successes  as  well.  A  great  number  of  athletes  again  represented  the 
school  in  some  15  sports.  Both  the  Senior  Girls  and  Boys  Soccer  teams  came  within  a  goal  of  reaching 
the  provincial  Final  Fours,  and,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Dave  Fisher,  there  was  a  continued  revival 
of  cricket.  The  Tennis  team  defied  the  odds  to  place  4th  at  the  BC  Tournament,  and  the  Senior  Girls 
Basketball  squad,  in  its  first  year  in  the  AAA  ranks  reached  the  Island  final  and  then  provincial 
championships.  Likewise,  an  overachieving  band  of  Cross  Country  runners  also  reached  the  BCs. 

With  both  the  New  and  Old  Gyms  operating  efficiently,  and  with  the  surface  of  the  playing  fields 
continuing  to  improve,  scheduling  for  both  PE  and  Athletics  was  again  much  simpler  than  in  past  years. 

Many  kudos  must  go  to  a  talented  group  of  coaches,  who  once  more  went  well  beyond  the  call  of  duty 
to  produce  quality  players  and  teams.  Likewise,  thanks  to  all  the  support  staff  personnel  who  toiled  so 
unselfishly  behind  the  scenes. 

To  the  graduates,  thank  you  and  best  of  luck  in  the  future.  To  those  returning,  continue  the  high 
traditions  set  by  those  who  have  gone  before  you.

1997  BC  CHAMPIONS 


It  was  quite  a  year.  Despite  considerable  preseason  pressure  and  expectations,  the  team  met  all  challenges  in  winning  34  of  36  games,  and  all 
seven  tournaments  entered  including  the  BC  Invitational  in  mid  March  in  Port  Alberni. 

The  squad,  a  number  of  whom  had  suffered  through  a  disappointing  season  a  year  before,  had  talent,  size  and  depth,  and  put  all  of  these 
characteristics  to  good  use  throughout.  The  only  two  games  lost  were  to  perennial  rival  Vancouver  College  in  early  December,  and  then  in  league 
play  to  Claremont.  This  latter  defeat  was  balanced  by  three  sound  victories  over  the  same  opponent  in  tournament  action,  while  the  hoped  for 
rematch  with  College  never  materialized  as  the  Mainlanders  were  upset  by  St.  Thomas  More  in  a  local  playoff,  and  so  never  reached  the  provincial 
event. 

Through  the  season,  point  guard  Danny  Boticki  solidified  his  position  as  one  of  the  elite  U16  players  in  BC  with  a  series  of  commanding 
performances,  and  was  named  BC  Tournament  MVP  in  Port  Alberni.  Also  in  the  backcourt.  Cam  Clark  added  much  improved  shooting  to  his  usual 
fine  passing  and  heads  up  play,  while  6'5"  posts  Jon  Gainor  and  Richard  Greenwood,  with  their  all  round  ability,  gave  all  opposition  matchup 
difficulties.  Rounding  out  the  starting  five  was  newcomer  Mike  Wighton,  who,  while  struggling  at  times  offensively,  was  a  fit  and  tenacious 
defender. 

Off  the  bench,  posts  Kevin  Simon  and  Craig  Kilshaw  were  invariably  competitive  and  effective,  with  guards  Milan  Mrdjenovich  and  Tim  Street 
equally  able.  Grade  9  Jason  Reeve  was  plagued  by  illness  much  of  the  year,  but  contributed  on  many  occasions  with  his  sound  shooting,  and  Josh 
Lam  improved  out  of  all  proportion.  Finally.  6'4"  post  Ryan  Jennings  also  was  making  a  telling  contnbution  before  succumbing  to  injury  in  early 
January. 

Thanks  also  to  manager  Kevin  Morin  for  all  his  hard  work,  and,  of  course  to  co  coaches  Mike  Shaw  and  Mischa  Greenwood,  who  had  as  much 
to  do  with  the  success  of  the  team  as  any  of  the  players. 

Next  year  will  bring  new  challenges  to  the  players  moving  to  the  Senior  ranks,  as  they  become  part  of  a  squad  which  should  again  be  in 
provincial  title  contention.

JUNIOR  GIRLS  BASKETBALL

It  was  definitely  a  season  of  ups  and  downs.  Plagued  by  extreme  inexperience  and,  not  surprisingly,  inconsistent 
perimeter  play,  the  team  competed  very  well  to  be  one  basket  away  from  qualifying  for  the  Island  Tournament. 

All  the  players  improved,  with  posts  Kat  Watson  ,  Vania  Gamache  and  Krystal  O'Byrne  all  good  enough  to  move  up  a 
thin  depth  Senior  squad  at  season's  end.  Of  the  others,  Sarah  Turner,  Carly  Somerset,  and  Jessa  Jennings  all  were 
prone  to  mistake  under  pressure,  but  did  enough  to  suggest  all  will  be  solid  players  in  ther  future. 

Many  thanks  to  1996  alumnus  Ms.  Roxanne  Boult  for  her  many  hours  of  coaching,  and  also  to  team  sponsor  Mrs.  Jean 
Ives. 

Hopefully,  the  crucial  lessons  about  commitment  and  constant  practice  will  have  been  learned  for  future  seasons.  Best 
of  luck. 


Ms.  Kim  Poland 


B.  R.  :  Mr.  Ian  Hyde-Lay,  S.  Romanchuk,  T.  Spicer,  S.Kim,  N. Millar.  S.  Tate,  A.  Dowhy,  J.  Lee,  B.  Johnson,  Mr.  Bill  Greenwell. 
F.R.  C.  Noel,  E.  Fairhurst,  S.  Hirao,  G. Gibbons,  I.  Wan,  R.  Yukawa,  M.  Danskin, 

It  was  never  going  to  be  the  easiest  of  seasons,  as  a  young  and  inexperienced  squad  battled  through  a  trying  year.  A  final  record  of  10-19  was  the 
school's  poorest  in  a  decade,  and  for  the  first  time  in  that  period,  the  team  failed  to  reach  the  Island  AAA  tournament. 

However,  despite  inconsistent  play  and  the  disappointment  of  the  final  week,  much  progress  was,  in  fact,  made.  Indeed,  all  the  players  are  to 
be  commended  from  recovering  from  the  wreckage  of  a  2-10  pre  Christmas  record,  which  included  an  0-2  start  in  league,  and  a  desperate 
performance  in  the  Dover  Bay  Tournament,  in  which  the  group  looked  about  as  far  away  from  a  legitimate  AAA  basketball  team  as  it  was  possible 
to  be.  Indeed,  the  group  then  bounced  back  to  win  six  of  eleven  league  games  in  the  New  Year,  and  was  in  contention  for  Island  qualification  until 
the  final  play  day  of  the  season. 

Not  surprisingly,  the  starting  five,  for  a  whole  variety  of  reasons  was  never  settled,  though  guards  Chris  Noel  and  Shingo  Hirao,  the  latter  our 
most  dangerous  scorer  and  therefore  heavily  guarded  all  year,  saw  the  majority  of  action.  Ed  Fairhurst,  who  though  limited  by  poor  shooting 
mechanics,  did  many  other  thins  well,  was  the  3  man.  with  Grade  lis  Nate  l^illar  and  Steve  Tate  in  the  post.  Off  the  bench,  when  healthy,  Tye 
Spicer  was  a  streaky  scorer,  and  Ryota  Yukawa  a  good  ballhandler.  Up  front,  Steve  Romanchuk  was  never  hesitant  to  do  the  blue  collar  work, 
while  Glen  Gibbons,  after  a  very  slow  start  to  the  season,  played  some  good  stretches.  Also,  Mike  Danskin,  Adam  Dowhy,  Ivan  Wan  and  Sunny 
Kim  practiced  hard  throughout  and  made  the  most  of  playing  opportunities. 

The  highlight  of  the  season  was  a  dramatic,  come  from  behind  71-67  win  over  Mi.  Douglas  (who  went  on  to  finish  9th  in  BC).  Perhaps  the 
turning  point  (the  wrong  way)  came  in  the  Police  Tournament  in  early  February,  when,  after  playing  extremely  well  against  a  talented  Carihi  outfit, 
the  team  frittered  away  a  ten  point  lead  to  lose  65-62.  The  players  seemed  never  to  recover  from  this  reverse,  and  two  crucial  league  games 
against  Parkland  and  Spectrum  subsequently  went  a  begging. 

Thanks  to  all  the  players,  and  to  manager  Ben  Johnson,  for  sticking  doggedly  to  the  task.  Thanks  also  to  a  band  of  scorekeepers,  led  by  Chris 
Stolarski,  who  covered  so  many  games  so  effortlessly. 

To  those  returning,  prepare  to  be  under  the  microscope  once  again,  as  with  an  influx  of  talented  juniors,  the  team  should  again  be  in  Island 
and  provincial  contention.

It  was  with  some  trepidation  that  the  team  moved  up  to  the  AAA  ranks  this  season,  as  much  to  guarantee  a  solid  schedule  as  for  any  other 
reason.  In  the  end,  it  proved  a  good  decision  as  the  team  won  a  number  of  key  games  at  the  right  times  en  route  to  finishing  2nd  on  the  Island  and 
reaching  the  BC  Tournament. 

Among  the  best  performances  of  the  year  were  a  64-61  loss  to  then  provincially  #2  ranked  Hentage  Park,  and,  having  lost  twice  by  a  single 
point  to  archrival  Mt.  Douglas,  turning  the  tables  on  them  59-56  in  the  City  playoffs  to  virtually  ensure  BC  qualification.  Then,  in  the  Island  final 
against  Lambrick  Park,  a  spirited  effort  had  the  team  leading  early  in  the  fourth  quarter  before  fading  away  to  lose  57-47. 

The  main  disappointment  of  the  year  came  at  the  BCs,  where  it  seemed  many  of  the  players  (the  notable  exceptions  being  Kristina  Kerr  and 
Carys  Jones)  were  either  very  tentative  or  happy  just  to  have  qualified.  A  first  round  matchup  with  Heritage  Park  should  have  been  a  closely 
contested  affair,  but  a  general  hesitancy  resulted  in  a  20+  point  defeat.  Relegated  to  the  consolation  round,  the  team  won  just  one  of  the  three 
remaining  games  to  finish  12th. 

In  the  starting  five,  guards  Jo  Nash  and  Deanna  Age  were,  when  on  song,  as  good  as  any  pair  in  BC,  with  the  former  a  solid  ballhandler  and 
defensive  ballhawk,  and  the  latter  an  excellent  outside  shooter.  Up  front,  Kim  Lobb  displayed  great  athleticism,  and  should  be  a  star  in  her  senior 
season,  while  posts  Kerr  and  Emily  Clough  battled  all  year  against  much  larger  opposition. 

Off  the  bench.  Carys  Jones  often  provided  the  necessary  spark,  while  Kathryn  Wynn  was  also  a  thoroughly  dependable  and  versatile  per- 
former. Kanoux  Larsen.  Coille  Atchley.  and  Donna  Lee  did  not  receive  much  opportunity  in  games  due  to  the  difficult  nature  of  the  schedule,  but 
all  improved  and  are  to  commended  for  their  contributions.  Likewise,  Kathryn  Watson.  Vania  Gamache  and  Krystal  O'Byrne  all  played  a  good  role 
when  moved  up  on  completion  of  their  Junior  season. 

IVIy  thanks  to  all  the  players,  to  assistant  coaches  Ms.  Sue  Tomio  and  Mr.  Brian  Chang,  and  to  manager  Carol  Lewis.  Most  of  all,  the  sincere 
gratitude  of  everyone  must  be  extended  to  Mr,  Gary  Laidlaw,  who  as  the  team  GM  looked  after  so  capably  a  myriad  of  off  court  affairs. 

Best  of  luck  next  year  to  all.

The  inaugural  season  of  Bowling  proved  to  be  a  great  success.  Though  largely  inexperienced,  the  tean' 
eventually  improved  the  strikes  to  gutterballs  ratio,  and  with  24  competitors,  far  outdistanced  all  rival 
schools  in  terms  of  participation. 

Following  the  regular  season,  the  team  of  Chris  Lau,  Charles  Huang  and  Yusuf  Harsono  qualified  for 
the  City  Tournament,  while  the  girls  also  contributed  splendidly.  Indeed,  on  an  individual  basis,  Susan 
Sin,  Olivia  Limbu  and  Stephanie  Anderson  all  figured  prominently. 

Further  congratulations  to  Colleen  Saffrey  who  won  an  Optimist  Club  of  Victoria  scholarship. 

Continued  good  luck  to  all  next  year.

The  1997  season  featured  a  young  and  initially  inexperienced  team.  However,  with  much  hard  work 
and  countless  practices,  in  a  variety  of  inclement  weather  conditions,  the  squad  advanced  its  cardio- 
vascular fitness  and  running  techniques  to  finish  with  some  satisfying  results. 

The  seven  races  in  the  City  league  provided  the  opportunity  for  all  the  team  to  compete  in  a  wide 
variety  of  races.  Race  sites  included  treacherous  obstacles  such  as  puddles  which  could  have  passed 
for  small  lakes,  not  to  mention  gale  force  winds,  snow,  sleet,  hail,  mud,  and  more  mud. 

All  age  groups  faced  stiff  competition  throughout  the  season,  with  both  the  Junior  Boys  and  Girls 
placing  third  in  the  City.  At  the  Island  level,  the  Boys  gained  a  fourth  place  finish,  with  the  Girls  in  fifth. 
Excellent  individual  performances  were  recorded  by  Heather  Orr,  Brian  Moss,  Mike  Wighton  and 
Jamie  Saunders. 
Thanks  and  congratulations  to  all  those  who  took  part.  Best  of  luck  in  upcoming  seasons.

Two  main  factors  made  the  1996  team  very  successful,  as  commitment  to  practice  and  races  allied  with 
great  depth  resulted  in  tremendous  individual  and  team  improvement. 

The  boys  squad  of  24  runners  finished  a  strong  third  in  the  City  competition,  and  them,  in  the  ultra  tough 
Island  meet,  ran  exceptionally  well  to  place  4th.  Fine  performances  were  recorded  by  Mike  Wighton, 
Dave  Wilson,  Rob  Bateman,  Yoshi  Nakanishi,  Chris  Lau,  Andrew  Williamson  ,  Alan  Lin  and  Pat  Gill. 
This  group,  competing  in  a  provinicial  field  of  over  350  runners,  then  again  did  well  to  finish  15th  overall 
in  the  BC  meet. 

Next  year's  goals  will  include  fielding  a  consistently  strong  girls  team  and  again  securing  a  berth  to  the 
provincial  meet.  The  relative  youth  of  this  season's  group,  combined  to  some  talented  Junior  racers, 
should  be  a  recipe  for  success. 
Thank  you  to  all  for  a  tremendous  effort.

Happily,  it  has  been  a  terrific  season  for  cricket  at  SMUS  this  year,  as  some  55  students  (including  15  girls)  took  the  oppor- 
tunity to  play. 

Though  the  win-loss  record  (particularly  in  the  "Mid-Week"  competition)  was  jeopardized  to  a  large  degree  by  the  decision  to 
involve  equally,  as  much  as  possible,  all  team  members,  this  was  a  positive  decision.  Indeed,  it  was  very  pleasing  to  note 
how  all  players'  skills  developed  rapidly  over  the  twelve  developmental  games.  Nonetheless,  several  excellent  individual 
batting  performances  were  recorded  by,  among  others,  Danny  Boticki,  Joel  Bowman,  Pat  Frisby,  Nick  Vagvolgyi,  Victor 
Drohomerecki,  Nick  Chng  and  David  Ingle.  On  the  bowling  front,  Emily  Clough,  Ryan  Munroe,  Sina  Noureddin,  Bryce 
Soderberg  and  particularly  Mahat  Johnson  proved  effective. 

Of  note  were  the  two  all  girls  encounters  vs  the  VDCA  women,  two  Junior  (U15)  vs  St.  Georges,  and  a  2nd  XI  game  against 
Stelly's.  Unfortunately,  both  scheduled  1st  XI  matches  vs  St.  Georges  were  rained  out. 

The  Alumni  game,  played  May  1 1 ,  was  very  exciting.  Unfortunately,  inconsistent  fielding  and  several  dropped  catches 
allowed  the  Alumni,  led  by  Mr.  Jeremy  Goodwin's  53  to  reach  162-7  declared.  Despite  a  spirited  24  from  both  Matt  Turner 
and  Grade  8  Glenn  Roberts,  the  1st  XI  was  soon  87-8,  before  a  superb  rearguard  action  by  Drohomerecki  (36)  and 
Vagvolgyi  (20  not  out)  almost  pulled  the  game  out  of  the  fire. 

To  finish,  the  match  vs  the  Staff  XI  was  also  very  entertaining,  though  some  rash  batting  by  the  top  of  the  order  put  the  team 
in  a  hole  at  28-6.  Fortunately,  another  great  stand,  this  time  from  Vagvolgyi  and  Johnson,  allowed  the  1st  XI  to  reach  108 
from  the  allotted  23  overs.  This  total,  however,  was  unlikely  to  ever  be  enough,  and  so  it  proved.  Mr.  Grenfell  Featherstone, 
in  his  last  match  for  the  Staff,  opened  with  a  series  of  crushing  boundaries,  leading  the  way  to  a  comfortable  six  wicket 
victory. 


Thanks  to  all  who  took  part  for  a  most  enjoyable  season

The  sport  continued  its  growth  in  popularity  on  Vancouver  Island,  and  now  draws  a  very  high  number  of  partici- 
pants. This  year,  in  both  the  Junior  Girts  and  Boys  leagues,  there  was  a  healthy  increase  in  nders,  which  made  for 
much  toughe.  competition. 

The  entire  SMUS  team  was  comprised  of  first  year  riders,  who,  did  remarkably  well.  In  the  five  race  Girts  senes, 
Clare  Hall-Patch  and  Genny  Burdett,  who  finished  fourth  and  fifth  respectively,  rode  aggressively  against  some  of 
the  best  young  cyclists  in  the  province.  On  the  Junior  Boys  side,  Evan  Crawford,  Ben  Acton  and  Kentaro  Guthne 
learned  a  great  deal  which  will  stand  them  in  good  stead  in  the  future.  Combined,  the  two  teams  placed  8th  out  of  17 
schools. 

In  the  Senior  Boys,  Nathan  Miller,  through  his  determination,  consistency  and  technical  ability,  placed  seventh 
overall  and  was  named  team  rider  of  the  year.  An  overall  3rd  place  continued  the  school's  strong  pertormance  in  the 
Senior  category. 

Special  thanks  to  Mr.  Mike  Ison,  who  helped  as  team  trainer,  and  to  Mr.  Larry  Borgerson,  who  acted  as  team 
manager  and  provided  excellent  first  aid  to  all  in  the  league.

Minus  all  star  goalie  Kim  Smith,  on  loan  to  the  BC  champion  Senior  team,  and  with  only  a  few  other  returnees,  the  Junior 
squad  did  superbly  well  all  season  to  finish  1st  in  the  City  league,  2nd  in  the  ISA  Tournament,  and  4th  on  the  Island. 

Captain  Olivia  Ibell  set  a  terrific  example  all  season,  while  the  tactical  nous  of  Charlotte  Reid  and  goalscoring  abilities  of 
Sabrina  Loiacono  were  always  well  to  the  fore.  Sarah  Wilson  proved  to  be  a  tremendous  fond  in  goal,  while  Lohen  Chilton

1996  BC  AA  CHAMPIONS 


No  doubt  this  short  synopsis  will  do  no  justice  to  the  1 996  team,  which,  under  great  pressure,  managed  the  difficult  task  of  repeating  as  BC  AA 
Champions.  The  team  received  more  than  a  few  bumps  along  the  road,  suffering  several  defeats  locally  before  rebounding  to  win  an  11  th  straight 
Island  title.  This  accomplished,  the  players  then  performed  splendidly  in  Vancouver  at  the  provincials,  coming  back  after  a  reverse  in  pool  play  to 
defeat  a  talented  Collingwood  squad  1-0  in  the  final. 

Co  captains  Deanna  Age  and  Knstina  Kerr  set  a  fine  example  for  the  remaining  players,  and  were  well  supported  by  the  remaining  seniors. 
Grade  1 1  striker  Kim  Lobb  was  a  key  part  of  the  attack,  while  newcomer  Kelly  Cox  had  the  distinction  of  finishing  off  a  superb  four  way  passing 
play  in  scoring  the  only  goal  in  the  BC  final.  At  the  back.  Grade  10  goalie  Kim  Smith  was  rock  solid,  with  no  one  stop  more  crucial  than  a  spec- 
tacular toe  save  late  in  the  same  provincial  title  game. 

Many  thanks  also  to  Jeff  Hunt  for  his  coaching  expertise  and  commitment.  To  all  the  players,  congratulations  again,  and  best  wishes  in  all  your 
future  hockey  plans. 

Wear  your  silver  pins  proudly!!

The  1997  season  began  with  great  promise  as  several  new  students  proved  to  be  fine  golfers.  The 
arrival  of  Chris  Holenderski  from  Saudi  Arabia  and  Scott  McCarten  from  the  Middle  School  strength- 
ened the  team.  Unfortunately  during  the  season,  some  of  the  older  players  were  unavailable  be- 
cause of  injuries  or  other  sporting  obligations  and  as  a  result,  the  team  did  not  fare  well  either  in  the 
Lower  Island  Tournament  or  in  the  I.S.A.  Tournament.  The  team  did  have  an  opportunity  to  salvage 
the  season  in  the  Staff-Student  Match  but  the  staff  proved  to  be  too  powerful  winning  by  a  score  of 
5-2.  To  Olivia,  Michelle.  Enc  and  Blair,  who  are  graduating,  and  to  all  the  others,  I  would  like  to  say

The  SMUS  Rowing  team  had  a  most  successful  debut  season  on  Elk  Lake  during  the  fall.  After  competing  in  three  regattas  and  24  overall  races, 
all  involved  had  gained  tremendous  experience,  suffered  through  every  type  of  weather  imaginable,  learned  how  to  steer  (almost!!)  and  learned 
the  ecstasy  of  "the  last  250"  and  the  agony  of  "over  the  heads  and  up."  (VIost  importantly,  all  learned  the  true  meaning  of  teamwork  and  the 
invaluable  lesson  of  hard  work. 

My  thanks  to  all  the  Grade  12s  for  their  leadership,  and  best  wishes  to  those  returning  for  another  season.  Further  good  luck  to  those  planning 
to  continue  their  careers  with  the  Victoria  City  Rowing  Club  in  the  spring,

Few  school  teams  in  recent  seasons  have  experienced  such  as  astonishing  turnaround  in  their  fortunes  as  that 
achieved  by  this  year's  9A  XV.  Following  substantial  defeats  in  the  opening  games  vs  St.  Georges  and  Brentwood, 
even  the  most  ardent  supporter  could  be  forgiven  for  wondering  if  the  group  had  embarked  upon  a  tryless  season. 
Fortunately,  such  dire  predictions  proved  unfounded.  A  renewal  of  commitment,  together  with  a  determination  to 
improve  skill  levels,  led  to  a  resurgence  of  the  team's  fortunes. 

The  turning  point  of  the  season,  a  splendid  try  scored  in  the  opening  minute  of  the  home  game  against  Brentwood, 
provided  the  confidence  and  stamina  to  sustain  the  necessary  effort  until  Tyson  Johnson's  last  minute  conversion 
sealed  a  memorable  victory.  Two  wins  against  Shawnigan  then  produced  the  unlikely  situation  of  a  possible  shared 
ISA  championship  -  if  St.  Georges  could  be  defeated  on  their  home  ground.  Victory  in  Vancouver,  however,  proved 
not  to  be  -  but  only  just!!  Resolute  home  tackling  on  their  own  line  denied  Jin  Hyuk  Chung  and  others  a  match  winning 
try  a  minute  before  the  final  whistle. 

Chung,  Kevin  Simon,  Kentaro  Guthrie,  and  Jonathon  Gordon,  ably  supported  by  the  rest  of  the  fonwards,  all  had 
excellent  seasons.  In  the  back  division,  Scott  McCarten  held  the  defence  together  with  his  unflinching  tackling,  while 
Mike  Passmore,  with  his  powerful  running,  and  Itsuki  Hayashi,  with  his  deceptive  pace  and  guile,  provided  the  most 
potent  attacking  options. 

The  9B  XV,  like  their  A  counterparts,  recovered  well  from  a  calamitous  opening  match  against  St.  Georges  to 
complete  a  season  of  three  wins  and  three  losses.  David  Ingle,  Nic  Hume  and  Eric  Goldstein  formed  a  solid  base  for 
the  scrum,  with  Eric  Findlay  and  Andrew  Fairman  developing  into  a  tidy  halfback  pairing.  The  many  newcomers  to  the 
squad,  such  as  Merlin  Ho,  deserve  credit  for  their  consistent  enthusiasm  and  marked  improvement. 

Special  thanks  to  Mr.  Chns  Spicer,  for  performing  miracles  in  transforming  the  B  group,  and  to  Mr,  Ian  Hyde-Lay 
for  his  coaching  expertise  and  explanations  of  the  finer  points  of  Law.

The  1 996  SMUS  Colts  Rugby  season  was  undoubtedly  a  great  success  for  all  concerned.  Overall  44  players  put  on  the  Colts  uniform,  1 2  for  their  very  first  rugby  expenence.  In  a  total 
of  27  games,  1 22  tnes  were  scored  spread  t)etween  25  drfferent  players.  More  importantly,  the  support  that  each  player  gave  to  the  whole  squad  led  to  a  tremendous  spirit  within  the 
group,  enabling  the  Colts  tradition  to  be  continued 

The  "B"  team  began  their  season  with  an  early  exhibition  win  over  the  Grade  9A  side,  but  lost  heavily  in  their  opening  Independent  School  match  against  St  Georges  However, 
they  bounced  back  the  following  week  with  a  convincing  victory  away  at  Brentwood,  only  lor  the  9A's  to  turn  the  tables  in  their  rematch.  The  "B"  side  continued  their  up  and  down 
performances  with  a  return  5-5  tie  to  Brentwood  and  a  lop-sided  result  away  at  Shawnigan  Lake,  but  where  the  team  never  stopped  playing.  The  "B"  squad  played  well  in  an  exhibition 
game  against  Lansdowne's  top  side,  only  to  suffer  a  further  loss  to  St  Georges  However,  the  "B"  squad  rallied  to  finish  their  season  with  everyone  playing  in  a  fine  performance  and 
sound  victory  over  a  weakened  Shawnigan  side  While  not  wanting  to  lake  any  credit  away  from  the  whole  team  effort,  the  play  of  captain  and  scnjmhalf  Graeme  Snowden,  along  with 
fellow  backs  Jon  Preston  at  flyhalf.  and  Taylor  Davis  and  James  Bigwood  in  the  centres  does  deserve  mention.  The  front-row  of  Lucas  Rankin,  Stephan  Chapheau,  and  Nick  Issac, 
lock  Lawrence  Lee,  and  backrow  players  Ere  Grant  and  Ryan  Jennings  also  deserve  credit. 

Following  a  pre-season  exhibition  win  over  Glenlyon/Norfolk  School,  and  a  Greater  Victoria  league  victory  over  Stellys,  the  "A"  team  were  a  little  weary  in  their  opening  Indepen- 
dent School  fixture  against  St  Georges  Nonetheless,  they  did  more  than  enough  to  ease  out  a  victory,  only  to  repeat  a  lethargic  first  half  effort  against  Claremont.  However,  a  few  stem 
half-time  words  and  a  refocus  of  tactics  resulted  in  a  solid  second  half  performance  and  victory  The  pressure  eased  somewhat  with  a  blow-out  win  away  at  Brentwood,  with  the  team 
now  knowing  what  they  were  capable  of  producing.  This  would  be  put  to  test  in  the  next  game,  an  exhibition  match  against  arch-nvals  Oak  Bay  Again,  through  sticking  to  the  nght 
tactics  and  playing  together,  a  convincing  victory  resulted  Unfortunately,  however,  the  team  lost  outstanding  flyhalf  Danny  Boticki  with  injury  for  the  remainder  of  the  season.  A 
readjusted  side  gained  a  further  league  win  over  Esquimalt,  earning  the  team  a  well-desen/ed  half-term  break. 

Gale  force  winds  and  torrential  ram  greeted  the  "A"  side  in  their  league  match  against  Glenlyon/Norfolk  School.  In  such  conditions  anything  can  happen  but  a  top  second  half 
performance  into  the  wind  secured  a  cold  yet  well-eamed  victory  The  second  Brentwood  match  again  proved  to  be  a  blow-out  win,  but  enabled  the  players  to  become  more 
accustomed  to  some  positional  changes  before  the  upcoming  big  matches.  The  first  of  these  big  games  was  the  league  encounter  with  Oak  Bay.  Both  teams  were  a  little  wary  of  each 
other  earfy  and  some  scrappy  rugby  resulted,  before  the  Colts  team  stretched  out  to  a  comfortable  win  Next  up  was  the  away  ISA  flxture  at  Shawnigan  Lake,  a  team  similarly 
undefeated  thus  far  Pertiaps  a  little  jaded,  the  "A"  side  never  really  got  into  full  gear  and  gave  away  some  soft  tnes  to  lose  by  a  big  margin.  However,  on  the  positive  side,  they  never 
stopped  playing  and  did  get  the  final  score  This  was  the  flrsi  ever  loss  for  many  in  the  team  and  some  soul-searching  was  required,  but  rather  now  than  later.  A  repeat  closely 
contested  away  win  at  St.  Georges  followed  setting  the  team  up  well  for  the  Victona  playoffs. 

Glenlyon/Norfolk  School  were  the  semi-flnal  opponents  and  many  quality  tnes  were  scored  in  a  healthy  victory  to  lead  the  "A"  team  into  a  place  in  the  City  Final  against  Oak  Bay. 
The  cold  weather  threatened  to  play  a  part  in  proceedings  but  the  ram  and  wind  held  off.  However,  the  Colts  were  unable  to  hold  off  Oak  Bay  for  long,  and  although  being  ahead  earfy 
in  the  game  it  was  not  to  be  our  day  A  disappointing  and  unusually  error  and  panic  filled  effort  that  needed  to  be  put  nght  before  the  Island  tournament,  and  as  fate  would  have  it  our 
first  opponent  would  be  Shawnigan  Lake  School 

With  the  belief  that  a  win  over  Shawnigan  would  ultimately  win  the  Island  title,  much  strategy  and  mental  preparation  went  into  this  rematch  to  bnng  out  the  best  in  all  of  the  players. 
Both  sides  began  the  game  nervously,  with  the  Colts  seemingly  gaming  the  upper  hand  only  to  allow  a  late  first  half  try  and  be  down  5-7  at  the  inten/al.  Again  after  some  uncompromis- 
ing words  at  the  break,  the  Colts  went  into  the  second  half  knowing  that  they  would  have  to  make  full  use  of  any  sconng  opportunities  This  they  duly  did  with  two  earfy  second  half  tries, 
before  hanging  on  with  great  conviction  and  fervour  to  gam  an  upset  19-12  victory  over  tournament  favourites.  With  much  jubilation  m  the  air,  the  players  knew  that  more  tough  work 
would  needed  in  the  next  days.  Dover  Bay  from  Nanaimo  was  the  semi-final  opponent  and  the  Colts  continued  their  efforts  from  the  previous  day,  racing  out  to  a  big  lead  to  secure  a 
place  in  the  Island  final  against  Oak  Bay,  with  a  chance  to  turn  the  tables  and  finish  #1  The  final  was  played  in  tnje  Canadian  conditions  with  snow  drifting  in,  and  the  Colts  side  playing 
some  quality  fifteen  a-side  mgby  going  out  to  a  1 5-3  lead  at  the  half,  and  continuing  on  for  a  thorough  and  convincing  25-8  victory  to  claim  the  Vancouver  Island  Junior  Boys  Rugby 
Championship,  last  claimed  by  SMUS  in  1990. 

Again,  the  emphasis  on  team  commitment  and  dedicafion,  as  well  as  fun,  skill  improvement,  increased  fitness  levels,  and  a  greater  understanding  of  the  game  of  rugby,  showed 
itself  in  the  camaradene  built  up  by  each  team  and  the  Colts  spirit  as  a  whole  Without  wishing  to  focus  on  individuals,  some  do  need  special  menfion.  On  the  stafisfics  side,  Craig 
Kilshaw  was  top  try  scorer  with  14,  while  Tim  Street  was  the  points  leader  with  12  tnes  and  a  further  88  points  with  his  boot  Close  behind  in  the  try  department  were  Reid  Chambers, 
Erik  Larsen,  and  David  Hsu  with  13,  11,  and  9  tnes  apiece  The  whole  "A"  team  fonward  pack  deserve  special  menfion,  especially  the  foraging  front-row  play  of  hooker  John  Andrachuk, 
prop  An  Shortt,  lock  Matthieu  Boyd,  flankers  Milan  Mrdjenovich  and  Enk  Larsen,  and  number  eight  Cam  Clark.  In  the  backs,  the  tenacious  play  of  captain  and  scmmhalf  Jason  Owen, 
transplanted  flyhalf  Craig  Kilshaw,  nght  wing  Bnan  Moss,  and  fullback  Tim  Street  was  always  notable 

Congratulafions  must  also  go  to  John  Andrachuk,  An  Shortt,  Cam  Clark,  Danny  Boticki.  Reid  Chamtjers,  Jamie  Saunders.  Tim  Street,  and  Grade  9's  Jonathan  Gordon  and  Kevin 
Simon,  who  were  all  selected  to  the  Vancouver  Island  Independent  Schools  (SMUS,  Shawnigan  Lake,  Brentwood,  GNS)  Under  16  team  to  attend  the  Higashi-Osaka  City's  Foundation 
30th  Anniversary  Junior  Rugby  Under  1 6  International  Fnendship  Games  in  March  1 997  in  Osaka,  Japan.  It  is  an  honour  to  be  selected  for  such  a  side,  and  this  inaugural  all  expenses

With  tew  returnees  and  limited  experience!  little  was  expected  from  this  year's  Senior  Rugby  crew.  How  wrong  one  can  be!  Beginning  in  early  January  the  40+  players  practiced  and  trained 
through  all  weather  conditions  in  search  of  starting  positions.  Inter-squad  trials  soon  took  place  and  the  teams  began  to  take  shape. 

The  2nd  XV  lacking  continuity  due  to  rarely  having  the  same  line-up  for  two  straight  games,  played  an  up  and  down  series  of  nine  matches.  Despite  solid  efforts  against  the  more  athletic  1st 
XV's  of  Belmont,  Stellys.  and  Dover  Bay,  losses  were  recorded  as  was  also  the  case  against  the  veny  strong  Lord  Byng  and  Shawnigan  Lake  2nd  XVs.  However,  in  a  three  game  series  with  cross- 
town  Esqulmalt,  top  team  performances  resulted  in  three  victories,  with  over  fifty  points  being  scored  in  the  final  encounter  Perhaps  the  season's  best  peformance  came  m  a  one  point  loss  to  the 
Carson  Graham  2nd  XV,  where  stout  defense  and  youthful  enthusiasm  showed  the  way  Top  performers  included  Grade  10's  An  Shortt  at  hooker,  Jason  Owen  at  scrumhalf,  and  fullback/wing  Tim 
Street  Likewise  props  George  Pemberton  and  Sunny  Kim,  and  locks  Peter  and  Eric  Kim  and  Chns  Stephens  all  played  well,  while  newcomers  Helmut  Lee  on  the  wing,  and  Joe  Gardener  and 
Omar  Alasaly  in  the  backrow  improved  markedly  Finally  centre  Andrew  Williamson,  and  wing  Matt  Turner  proved  useful  attackers. 

With  limited  expectations,  the  1st  XV  began  the  season  with  promising  exhibition  results  over  GP  Vanier,  GNS.  Dover  Bay,  Parkland,  and  the  visiting  Father  Bressani  school  from  Ontario. 
However,  twenty-two  points  down  in  fifteen  minutes  against  arch  rival  Oak  Bay  was  not  the  best  way  to  start  the  annual  "Boot  Game"  Vet  the  team  fought  back  bravely  and  finished  strongly  to 
score  at  the  final  whistle,  only  to  fall  25-24.  leaving  much  to  ponder  over  spnng  break. 

Immediately  upon  return,  the  1st  XV  opened  against  Semiahmoo  in  the  inaugural  BC  Premier  Senes,  a  competition  involving  nine  of  the  top  sides  in  the  province  In  a  low-sconng  affair,  the 
odd  fortuitous  bounce  and  a  last  second  Ed  Fairhurst  penalty  produced  a  10-8  win  With  the  next  few  weeks  certain  to  set  the  tone  for  the  remainder  ot  the  season,  some  very  hard  work  was  done, 
including  the  all-important  Mt  Tolmie  hill  sessions,  and  post-game  video  evaluations.  A  confidence  building  Premier  victory  over  Earl  l^arnott  led  the  team  into  a  clash  with  then  #1  ranked  Carson 
Graham  Direct  forward  play  and  aggressive  defense  resulted  in  a  resounding  22-13  win.  With  some  starters  resting  and  reserves  getting  a  needed  run,  a  victory  was  then  achieved  in  the 
Lower  Island  competition  over  Belmont 

Two  Premier  Series  games  followed  In  the  wet.  behind  Fairhurst's  31  points,  the  team  defeated  Magee.  before  a  lop-of-the-table  clash  with  Lord  Byng  Points  came  early  and  by  half-time  the 
1st  XV  led  by  20  points  The  patterns  of  play  and  discipline  faltered  in  the  second  half,  and  as  the  gap  closed  and  the  pressure  mounted,  the  mistakes  began  to  proliferate.  With  two  minutes  to 
play,  Byng  scored  for  a  deserving  win  27-23  This  defeat  provided  imponant  lessons,  and  in  many  ways  was  directly  responsible  for  later  successes 

Amidst  the  heavy  schedule  came  the  BC  Sevens  Tournament  With  |ust  a  few  days  preparation,  the  squad  showed  well  in  its  pool  wins  over  Robert  Bateman.  Cowichan,  and  Magee.  The 
second  day  playoff  games  provided  much  sliffer  opposition  and  resulted  m  losses  to  Carson  Graham  and  Abbotsford  Nevertheless,  the  tournament  had  been  a  more  than  worthwhile  experience 
and  was  followed  by  two  lop-sided  Lower  Island  victories  over  Claremont  and  Mt  Doug  before  the  much  anticipated  rematch  with  Oak  Bay 

There  was  so  little  between  the  two  sides  that  the  team  making  the  fewest  mistakes  would  likely  gam  the  upper  hand  So  it  proved,  as  with  two  SMUS  errors,  Oak  Bay  reversed  a  6-0  halt-  time 
deficit  to  edge  away  for  a  1 5-6  win  Again  the  lessons  were  absorbed  and  some  changes  made  prior  to  the  Alumni  Day  clash  against  Shawnigan  Lake  In  front  of  over  500  fans,  the  1  st  XV  jumped 
out  of  the  blocks  paced  by  ferocious  tackling  and  an  Adam  Dowhy  hat-trick  of  tries  Shawnigan  clawed  their  way  back,  and  a  heart-stopping  second  half  saw  Shawnigan  ahead  by  2  points  with  ten 
minutes  remaining  With  much  delight,  another  late  Fairhurst  penalty  helped  snatch  a  memorable  37-36  victory. 

Claremont  was  no  match  in  the  Lower  Island  semi-final,  setting  up  a  third  encounter  with  Oak  Bay,  this  time  for  the  Howard  Russell  Cup.  Again  the  first  half  was  a  seesaw  battle  with  the  team 
ahead  14-7  at  the  interval.  Despite  playing  into  the  wind  in  the  second  half  the  players  kept  the  pressure  on  for  a  24-19  win  A  third  place  in  the  BC  Premier  Series  was  then  secured  with  a 
resounding  37-5  away  win  at  Abbotsford,  After  some  final  tinkering,  the  BC  Tournament  loomed  large  in  everyone's  sights. 

A  big  and  physical  Penticton  side  were  the  first  opponents  at  the  B  C  's.  Some  slick  second  half  handling  produced  the  tries  necessary  to  pull  away  for  a  29-5  win.  This  produced  a  quarter-final 
match  with  Oak  Bay  Despite  a  fast  start,  the  team  trailed  by  5  points  with  ten  minutes  remaining.  Not  to  be  outdone,  a  superb  multi-phase  try  produced  a  25-23  win  and  a  spot  against  Lord  Byng  in 
the  semi-final.  In  torrential  ram  and  wind,  the  XV,  hard  on  defense  much  of  the  game  |usl  wouldn't  crack.  Tackling,  courage,  and  character  were  all  to  the  fore  as  waves  of  Byng  attacks  were 
halted  Finally,  the  team  got  back  into  the  game  and,  lor  the  third  time  in  the  season.  Fairhurst  slotted  a  match  winning  penalty  The  provincial  final  against  Shawnigan  Lake  beckoned. 

In  front  of  over  1000  spectators  at  UBC  Thunderbird  Stadium,  the  1st  XV  began  play  as  if  their  lives  depended  upon  the  outcome  Converted  tries  by  Fairhurst  and  Andrew  Dewar  secured  an 
early  lead  but  Shawnigan  came  back  to  make  it  14-7  at  the  break  Shawnigan  then  scored  10  straight  second  half  points  to  draw  level  1  7-1  7  Drawing  on  amazing  energy  reserves,  the  players 
steadied,  and  a  late  Fairhurst  penalty  and  spectacular  Ryota  Yukawa  try  guaranteed  a  27-17  provincial  championship  triumph 

The  dedication  and  desire  of  the  whole  forward  pack  was  noteworthy  Hooker  John  Andrachuk.  rugged  props  Andrew  Dewar  and  Adam  Dowhy  (team  award  recipient  and  14  tnes),  ball-winners 
Gavin  Barry  and  Steve  Romanchuk  and  flankers  Emir  Mehinagic.  Milan  Mrd|enovich.  and  Alec  Johnston,  and  aggressive  **3  Erik  Larsen  (10  tries)  played  superbly.  Behind  them  captain  and 
scrumhalf  Ed  Fairhurst  was  selected  to  the  BC  Commissioner's  XV  and  his  season  sconng  tally  of  31 5  points  including  a  team  leading  23  tries  (along  with  1 75  points  from  the  boot)  almost  defied 
belief.  Outside  him,  the  steady  play  of  flyhalf  Mike  Danskin  was  crucial  and  he,  along  with  centres  Dan  Sander,  Jeff  Vertes.  and  Quentm  Bregg  plugged  the  holes  and  kept  the  ball  m  front  of 
the  forwards  Wings  Colin  Parrott  (10  tries)  and  Ryota  Yukawa,  and  fullback  Chris  Noel  ran  hard  and  improved  defensively  with  each  game 

In  closing,  thank  you  to  all  the  players  for  such  an  enjoyable  and  successful  season.  Much  was  learned  about  commitment,  loyalty,  integrity,  team  spiht.  and  character  To  the  graduates,  best 
wishes  in  your  rugby  careers  and  may  you  keep  involved  with  the  sport.  To  the  many  returnees,  look  forward  to  next  season  to  more  and  more  hard  work.  Great  resolve  will  be  required  to  take  on 
the  new  challenges  that  await.  To  the  parents,  thank  you  for  all  your  tremendous  support  and  encouragement.  Final  gratitude  to  fellow  coaches  Mr  Peter  Tongue.  Mr  Ian  Hyde-Lay,  and  Mr  Chuck 
Shergold  for  their  expert  tutelage  and  assistance  throughout  the  year.

The  team  got  off  to  a  very  slow  start  this  season,  playing  several  strong  teams  while  attempting  to  assemble  a  squad  from 
those  players  who  had  not  left  town  for  the  Spring  break.  However,  with  a  return  to  full  strength  in  April,  solid  leadership 
from  the  Grade  10s  allied  to  good  goalkeeping  from  Danny  Boticki   produced  a  string  of  victories.  In  this  run,  the  defensive 
four,  led  by  Brian  Moss,  played  very  well,  while  Craig  Kilshaw,  Cam  Clark,  Graham  Snowden,  Scott  Brown  and  Itsuki 
Hayashi  supplied  the  offensive  punch. 

The  team  entered  the  sixteen  team  City  knockout  tournament  with  a  favorable  draw  from  the  unique  format  -  team 
names  drawn  from  a  hat  -  and  cruised  into  Round  2  with  a  5-0  win  over  Lansdowne.  A  superb  individual  marker  by  Chris 
Callender,  in  the  65th  minute,  was  then  the  difference  over  rival  Lambrick  Park.  Despite  a  disappointing  2-0  semifinal  loss 
to  Claremont,  the  group  still  had  one  final  chance  at  the  Islands,  but,  though  outplaying  Spencer  for  long  periods,  the 
subsequent  2-0  defeat  left  the  team  one  win  short  of  the  Island  finals. 

A  skilled  core  of  Grade  9  players  will  form  the  foundation  of  another  contending  team  in  1998.  The  Grade  10s  moving  to 
the  Senior  level  should  complement  a  number  of  talented  returnees  in  what  could  be  the  school's  best  side  ever. 

Thanks  to  all  for  their  time,  effort  and  commitment.

The  team  enjoyed  a  very  solid  season,  and  but 
for  a  heartbreaking  semifinal  shootout  loss  to 
Lambrick  Park,  would  have  won  a  first  ever  medal 
at  the  Island  Tournament. 

Overall  the  squad  won  eight  and  drew  one  of 
thirteen  matches,  with  goalie  Sam  Lawrence 
recording  five  shutouts.  Individually,  all  the  players 
had  their  moments,  but  Kim  Smith  and  Charlotte 
Reid  in  particular  were  consistently  reliable  on 
defence.  Carly  Somerset  and  Heather  Orr  supplied 
depth  in  the  midfield  while  Jen  Woodland  and 
Sabrina  Loiacono  provided  most  of  the  offensive 
punch. 

The  team  may  be  proud  indeed  of  a  spirited, 
disciplined  effort  throughout  the  season.  Thanks  to 
all  for  the  commitment.

Before  the  season  started  the  senior  players  dearly  wanted  a  second  chance  to  return  to  the  BC  Tournament  and  improve  on  1995's  disap- 
pointing 15th  place  finish.  Still,  with  many  newcomers,  and  the  first  month  fragmented  by  injury,  inclement  weather  and  numerous  school  trips,  the 
team  did  not  initially  jive,  and  indeed  struggled  to  finish  with  a  record  of  5-5-1.  This,  which  included  a  crucial  0-0  draw  with  powerful  Vic  High  in  the 
penultimate  game,  resulted  in  a  6th  place  league  finish,  which,  as  the  highest  placed  AA  team,  was  just  enough  to  qualify  for  the  BCs. 

At  the  provincials,  the  team  then  played  some  excellent  soccer,  not  actually  losing  a  game  in  regular  time,  but  still  finished  6th  overall.  A  1-1 
draw  with  eventual  champs  Langley  in  pool  play  was  all  that  stood  between  the  squad  and  a  Final  Four  placing. 

Blair  Nelson  and  Chris  Noel  shared  goalkeeping  responsibilities  throughout  the  season  and  together  often  frustrated  opposition  forwards.  Nate 
tVlillar  and  Nick  Stanger,  with  help  from  Gary  Tongue,  David  Lynch,  Tye  Spicer  and  f\/like  Preston,  controlled  while  the  midfield  featured  captain  Ed 
Fairhurst  and  tenacious  Dan  Sander.  Also  in  a  playmaking  role  were  BC  1st  team  All  Star  Ryan  Large,  l\/like  Danskin,  and  Chns  Mavrikos,  who 
enjoyed  a  superb  provincial  tournament.  Finally,  the  collective  speed  of  strikers  Graham  Fedorak,  Chris  Stolarski,  Ed  Callender  and  Colin  Parrott 
ensured  a  regular  supply  of  goals. 

Thanks  to  all  the  players  for  their  efforts.  Best  wishes  to  those  returning  and  to  the  newcomers  for  an  exciting  1997-98  campaign.

It  was  an  extremely  successful  season.  With  the  boys  a  highly  commendable  6th  in  BC  last  fall,  the  pressure  was  on  to 
match  that  performance.  The  team  moved  easily  thorugh  the  local  competition,  though  not  without  some  anxious  mo- 
ments against  Esquimalt  in  the  league  semifinals.  At  the  BC  Tournament, a  1-0  loss  to  Langley  ended  the  dream  of  a 
provincial  crown,  but  the  squad  rebounded  well  to  defeat  CE  London  and  Pnnce  George  to  claim  a  highly  respectable 
5th  place  finish.  Joann  Nash,  dangerous  all  season,  scored  nine  of  the  teams  ten  goals  at  the  BC's  and  was  named  a 
Tourney  First  All  Star,  while  Ria  Mavkrikos  was  placed  on  the  second  team. 

Other  notables  included  Grade  1 1  Carol  Lewis  and  senior  Strieker  Kristina  Kerr.  In  the  absence  of  Grade  10  Sam 
Lawrence,  Carys  Jones,  Jess  White,  Emily  Clough  and  Whitney  Davis  handled  the  goalkeeping  chores  by  committee. 

Thanks  to  all  who  took  part,  and  who  played  with  such  spirit,  skill  and  sportmanship.

With  many  enthusiastic  players  trying  out  for  the  1996-1997  team,  solid  progress  was  made  throughout  the  year.  The  ISA  tournament  was  held  in 
Vancouver,  in  mid  May,  with  the  boys  playing  at  St.  George's  and  the  girls  at  UBC.  This  proved  to  be  a  very  successful  day  for  the  girls.  Comfort- 
able wins  over  Brentwood  and  Crofton  House  put  the  team  into  the  finals  against  York  House,  where  Amy  Karchut  made  an  amazing  comeback  1  - 
5  down  to  take  out  the  set  in  a  tie-breaker.  This  produced  a  1  st  place  overall  finish  in  the  toumament.  The  boys,  although  benefiting  from  the 
tougher  competition,  were  unable  to  equal  the  girls'  efforts,  placing  4th.  With  local  league  matches  also  concluded,  the  team  then  finished  a 
commendable  3rd  in  the  City  Championships,  and  qualified  for  the  Island  Toumament  held  at  Brentwood  and  Shawnigan.  The  first  round  match,  to 
keep  the  team  in  the  running  for  the  EC's,  was  a  tough  encounter  against  Brentwood.  4-1  down,  the  players  dug  deep,  particularly  Chris 
Holenderski  and  the  boys  doubles  combination  of  Dan  Ishihara  and  Lemuel  Edillon,  to  fashion  a  brilliant  7-4  comeback.  Oak  Bay  then  proved  to  be 
too  strong,  which  left  a  match  verses  Mt.  Doug  for  3rd  and  4th,  and  a  place  in  the  provincials.  The  team,  once  again,  played  with  commitment, 
determined  to  turn  around  two  previous  league  losses. 

Leading  by  example,  the  ever  reliable  Mariko  Miller  took  the  team  to  another  victory.  After  some  contusion  with  the  number  of  Island  berths,  the 
team  was  deemed  to  have  qualified  for  the  BC's,  which  were  also  held  at  Shawnigan  and  Brentwood  at  the  end  of  May.  Convincing  wins  over 
Magee  and  MEI  resulted  in  a  pool  win.  Vanessa  Lee  displayed  some  fine  tennis  in  her  debut  singles  match  and  Amy  Karchut  and  Noelle  Quin 
proved  to  be  a  solid  doubles  combination.  The  team  then  in  the  semi-finals,  defeated  Brentwood  6-5,  but  were  well  beaten  by  Little  Flower 
AcademyA/ancouver  College.  A  subsequent  close  loss  to  Shawnigan  in  the  bronze  medal  match  yielded  a  4th  place  Provincial  finish.  Well  done  to 
all  the  team  on  an  outstanding  effort  throughout  the  entire  season.  Congratulations  to  Manko  Miller  on  receiving  the  girls  singles  award  at  the  BC's 
and  for  her  fine  display  of  leadership.  Best  of  wishes  to  the  team  in  future  years  -  goodbye  and  good  luck.

The  1997  season  centered  around  a  small  but  very  dedicated  group  of  athletes  who  used  the  early 
season  exhibition  meets  in  April  as  a  springboard  for  a  series  of  fine  performances  at  the  various  Island 
and  BC  meets  in  late  May. 

Depth  was  the  key  for  the  Junior  team,  and  the  cumulative  efforts  of  the  runners,  jumpers  and  throwers 
resulted  in  a  very  competitive  3rd  place  finish  at  the  City  meet  and  numerous  medalists  at  the  Island  level. 

In  the  Senior  competitions,  the  dedication  of  Dave  Wilson  and  Coille  Atchley  was  noteworthy,  and  both 
must  be  congratulated  for  their  maturity  and  leadership  throughout  the  year.  Another  asset  was  manager 
Mike  Adam,  normally  an  outstanding  performer,  but  this  year  unfortunately  sidelined  by  season  ending 
foot  surgery. 

The  season  highlight  took  place  at  the  Senior  BC  meet,  where,  after  a  outstanding  performance  in  the 
high  jump,  Grade  9  Natalie  Lisinski  became  only  the  second  SMUS  athlete  ever  to  win  an  individual 
medal. 


The  youth,  speed  and  dedication  of  this  year's  squad  bodes  well  for  the  future.  Congratulations  and 
thanks  to  all  who  took  part  this  year.

The  Junior  Girls  team  enjoyed  the  most  successful  season  in  school  history.  Playing  in  the  super  tough  GVJSSAA 
league,  the  sqaud  progressed  deep  into  the  second  round  of  the  knockout  competition,  and  only  a  series  of  close  and 
deeply  disappointing  losses  kept  the  group  from  reaching  the  Island  tournament  for  the  first  time  ever. 

Another  season  highlight  was  the  ISA  tournament,  held  in  mid  October.  Key  wins  over  Shawnigan,  Crofton  House 
and  York  House  put  the  team  into  the  final  vs  Brentwood,  who,  to  their  credit  were  the  better  team  on  the  day. 

Captain  Vania  Gamache  gave  consistently  strong  performances  all  year,  and  was  well  supported  by  setters  Sarah 
Turner  and  Jelena  Mrdjenovich.  Kelly  Dillon  and  Jo  Fairhurst  were  the  strongest  servers,  while  Kathryn  Watson, 
Shawna  McKee  and  Joelle  Hatton  were  always  fully  committed  to  the  tasks  of  digging  and  blocking. 

Thanks  to  all  who  made  such  a  spirited  contribution.  Best  of  luck  next  season,  whether  at  the  Senior  or  Junior 
level.

The  team  proved  something  of  an  enigma  this  season,  capable  of  playing  very  well  against  good  opposition,  but 
then  also  able  to  drop  down  to  the  standard  of  much  inferior  competition.  In  the  end,  this  inconsistency  proved  fatal, 
as  the  group's  hopes  of  advancing  to  the  Island  Tournament  were  dashed  in  the  City  playoffs. 

This  last  reverse  notwithstanding,  a  number  of  sound  results  in  league  play  were  achieved.  Also,  the  highly 
competitive  ISA  Tournament,  played  at  SMUS,  produced  a  creditable  4th  place  finish,  while  in  the  Lake  Cowichan 
and  Gulf  Islanas  Invitationals,  pool  play  wins  were  not  consolidated  as  they  might  have  been  in  the  semifinal  rounds. 

Individually,  all  the  players  improved,  though  some  still  found  it  difficult  to  make  the  sacnfices  necessary  to  per- 
form well  on  a  consistent  basis. 

Thanks  to  graduates  Emily  Clough,  Jen  de  Hann,  Coille  Atchley,  Andrea  Horsman,  and  Kathryn  Wynn.  Best  of 
luck  to  those  returning.

LIFE  AVENUE 

A  life  is  like  a  road,  and  to  live  a  life  is  to  walk  all  the  way  until  you 
reach  the  destination.  It  is  not  an  easy  journey;  most  of  it  is  up-hill, 
and  some  parts  are  very  steep.  There  are  cracks  in  the  pavement 
that  you  might  trip  over,  and  gaps  in  the  path  that  you  will  have  to 
leap  across.   If  you  do  fall,  you  will  have  to  pick  yourself  up  and 
continue  on  your  way.  The  route  is  twisted  with  frequent  curves  and 
turns,  making  the  voyage  even  more  chancy  because  you  never 
know  what  is  on  the  other  side  of  the  bend.   Furthermore,  there  are 
not  any  road  signs  to  warn  you  of  dangers  ahead  or  to  give  you 
directions.  Luckily,  you  do  not  have  to  travel  on  this  journey  alone. 
There  are  many  other  people  struggling  to  get  to  the  end  along  with 
you.  Some  may  choose  to  walk  beside  you;  a  few  might  even  offer 
to  hold  your  hand,  and  because  of  them,  your  journey  will  not  be  as 
boring  nor  as  difficult.  They  will  come  to  your  aid  when  you  are 
hurt,  carry  you  when  you  are  tired,  and  help  you  up  if  you  happen  to 
fall.  Most  of  these  people  that  appear  by  your  side  will  also  leave  at 
one  time  or  another.  They  might  start  to  walk  at  a  faster  pace  and 
leave  you  behind,  or  walk  too  slow  and  eventually  disappear  from 
your  side,  or  decide  to  join  another  group  of  people.  Some  might 
even  change  direction  and  wander  off  the  road.  On  the  other  hand, 
you  may  be  the  one  who  decides  to  leave,  and  walk  with  someone 
else  or  by  yourself.   In  any  case,  it  is  not  so  much  how  you  walk 
down  the  road  as  who  you  walk  with.

CLOAK  OF  APATHY 

Oh  I  long,  oh  I  long 

For  the  sweet  green  days 

When  my  fist  punched  a  hole  in  the  sky, 

When  reed  and  gong 

And  sea-spawned  haze 

Did  a  dust  dance  for  my  eye. 

In  the  wandering  dusk 

With  my  hand  in  the  stars 

How  I  would  play  by  the  shore 

And  sing  of  my  lust 

For  the  girl  of  afar 

For  whom  my  mind  yearns  no  more. 

When  did  this  thing  come  about? 

How  was  I  to  know? 

Should  I  dare  to  return  to  that  downy  sweet  bliss? 

Why  must  the  world  be  so? 

In  my  mind,  in  my  mind. 

Though  the  cockroaches  fly 

There  is  airy  remembrance  bright; 

So  in  cracks  I  can  find 

The  hidden  ruby 

Still  pregnant  with  earthly  light. 

You  make  this  come  out  of  me. 

You  squeeze  my  soul  till  the  bug  red  juice  flows  from  my  intestines  like 

river  and  ends 

up  in  the  eternal  fire,  burning,  burning  for  a  sulfureous  eternity. 

I  have  chosen  to  blind  myself  rather  than  confront  the  pain  you  left  me. 

Dame  Heavenly  you!  Why  must  you  be  so  untouchable,  yet  infinitely 
grappling? 

You  just  couldn't  be  what  you  seemed.  I  should  have  known.  But  why 

did  you  lead  me 

to  emotional  suicide? 

On  the  inside  I  am  screaming,  but  my  cloak  of  apathy  has  muted  my 

expression  and  left 

me  to  writhe  alone  in  my  self-made  torture. 

If  you  only  had  any  idea  how  much  pain  you  caused  me,  your  mind 
would  burn  out. 

It  hurts  me  to  feel  pleasure,  because  you  were  there  in  my  mind 

assailing  me.  You 
fireball  tongue  has  ripped  out  my  center  and  left  me  a  zombie! 

Why  didn't  you  just  kill  me  when  I  was  happy  and  unafraid? 

I  can't  enjoy  life,  but  my  hearts  stops  beating  and  insane  hope  forces 

me  to  walk  through 

the  world  dark  like  a  zombie. 

I  can  choose  nappiness,  so  it's  meaningless. 

IVIy  greatest  fear  is  apathy,  to  which  I  am  apathetic, 

I  laugh  with  no  reason,  smile  at  my  parents'  death  by  my  blade,  what 

could  ever  matter 

after  you  took  my  soul  away. 

All  is  a  swirling  storm  of  bitter  indifference.   I  cannot  react  to  the  world. 
I  can't  car 
anymore. 

I  am  dead.

Hypocrisy 

Catharsis;  the  definitive  lie. 

The  audience  feels  nothing,  learns  nothing, 

lives  a  lie  dies  a  hypocrite. 

Belief  is  all  it  is,  belief, 

Belief  for  the  sake  of  belief, 

A  transparent  attempt  to  stave  of  reality. 

Eliot  had  it  right. 

Until  "God"  spoke  to  him. 

What  a  waste  of  a  perfectly  good  suicide. 

What  to  do,  What  to  do? 

Cloud  my  mind,  dull  my  thoughts, 
let  ignorance  settle  in. 
Ah,  good  old  artificiality 

Let  Jesus  meet  Hitler, 

It  might  answer  a  few  of  my  questions. 

I'd  follow  the  true  light 

but  the  moths  are  flocking  to  it. 

I'm  alive  so  I'm  a  hypocrite,  or  maybe  just  a 

coward.

STEALTH  BOMBER.  MAGIC  EYE 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber; 
do  you  know  what  a  Stealth  bomber  is? 
You  need  to  look  beneath  the  surface,  and  you'll  see  it. 
We  are  improving  your  heart-eye  coordination. 

This  is  not  a  photograph  of  a  fantasy  beach 
with  silver  stones  and  redblueyellow  sand 
and  a  seaweed-coloured  cotton  candy  sky  - 
it  is  a  picture  of  a  Stealth  bomber 
and  if  you  concentrate 
you'll  see  it. 

I  promise. 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 

This  is  not  a  drawing  by  St-Exupery 

for  the  Little  Prince  on  the  sunwaves  if  Sahara; 

this  is  not  the  crystallised  vomit  of  a  lab  technician 

who  tried  to  be  Dr.  Jekyll  and  ended  up  in  Poison  Control; 

this  is  not  something  the  brain  surgeon  found 

swimming  around  in  King  Tut's  mummified  skull  - 

it  is  a  Stealth  bomber 

and  you'll  see  it 

if  you  ever  learn  to  relax. 

Trust  me. 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 
This  is  not  a  digital  mosaic  in  256  colours 
produced  by  serendipity  and  a  computer  crash 
This  is  not  God's  laughter  moving  on  the  face  of  the  waters 
This  is  not  a  dragon's  iris  or  a  silicon  chip  in  a  blender 
This  is  not  a  grain  of  Tinkerbell's  fairy  dust 
magnified  under  an  electron  beam 
which  if  carefully  studied  will  allow  us  to  fly  - 
it  is  something  permitting  flight  in  a  sleek  black  technical  sense 
it  is  a  Stealth  bomber 
and  honest  you'll  see  it 
jhe  day  you  cross  your  eyes  like  I'm  showing  you  how.

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 

It  is  not  imaginary 

invisible 

maliciously  hiding 

or  othenwise  deceptive  although 

Stealth  bombers  were  always  specially  designed  to  avoid 

enemy  radar. 

Don't  look  so  surprised. 

This  is  an  honest-to-goodness  Stealth  bomber 

which  you  may  have  seem  before  on  a  Hanoi  docudrama 

or  an  autographed  Saddam  Hussein  camouflage  T-shirt 

or  sketched  out  a  German  exercise  yard 

in  the  prison  where  Hitler  had  a  happy  fantasy. 

But  that  doesn't  matter  because  it's  not  here  to  kill  you 

it  is  only  playing  hide-and-go-seek 

Find  it  before  it  finds  you  - 

after  all  you  can't  stand  here  the  whole  lunchtime. 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 

You  lazy  fool  I  told  you  to  concentrate 

you'll  never  see  it 

you  don't  apply  yourself. 

Look  at  all  this  sweat 

did  I  tell  you  you  needed  that  much  effort 

loosen  up  you're  trying  too  hard. 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 

It  is  not  magic 

it  is  not  the  Original  Chaos 

it  is  not  a  mutant  angel 

it  is  not  Hiroshima  Nagasaki  Number  Two 

it  is  not  an  egg  thrown  from  a  skyscraper 

onto  a  patch  of  black  ice 

it  is  not 

any  of  these  things 

whether  it  looks  like  it  doesn't  matter 

it  is  a  Stealth  bomber  - 

it  is  a  Stealth  bomber 

and  you  are  going  to  see  it. 

Somewhere  in  this  picture  there  is  a  Stealth  bomber. 
fThe  secret  is  to  look  behind  the  picture.

I  think  my  soul  flew  away  yesterday 

she's  very  sensitive  and  gets  upset  easily 

last  time  when  this  old  man  in  tight  pants  yelled  at  her 

she  went  into  hiding  for  a  week 

I  think  during  that  time  she  joined  a  fitness  club  or 

somethin' 

and  had  pumped  a  bit  if  iron 

she  came  back  with  abs  of  steel  and  bulging  biceps 

but  I  recognized  her  right  away 

we  had  a  nice  chat  when  she  came  home 

and  she  told  me  that  she  had  been  to  heaven 

but  I  knew  that  it  was  only  a  fitness  place 

we  got  into  a  fight  yesterday 

cuz  she  said  that  I  was  taking  up  too  much  space 

I  had  pushed  her  into  a  corner 

but  she  spat  in  my  eye 

then  she  bought  out  a  pair  of  cut  out  angel's  wings 

and  flapped  off 

right  now  I  have  no  idea  how  long  she's  been  gone 

I  can  hear  the  loud  silence  inside  my  heart 

where  she  had  rented  her  little  apartment 

when  she  decides  to  return 

I  have  to  remember  to  ask  her 

what  its  like  to  fly 

and  if  she  had  a  pair  of  wings  for  me 

I  think  that  I'd  like  to  fly  sometime

THE  MUSICAL  REVIEW 


At  the  end  of  the  2nd  term,  many  students  felt  that  they  would  like  to  present 
their  own  Musical  Revue  of  the  past  1 0  years  of  Musicals  that  has  been 
performed.  Rehearsals  took  place  during  the  first  two  weeks  of  April,  and  a 
lot  of  fun  and  heartache  was  had  by  all  during  this  period.  Two  performances 
were  presented  in  the  old  gym  and  everyone  involved  in  this  adventure 
enjoyed  the  challenge  of  "putting  on"  a  student  production.

Ik-             T 

On  March  the  15th  it  snowed.  On  the  same  day  a  group  of  7  students  and  myself  were  preparing  to  leave  Victoria  for 
the  slightly  warmer  climes  of  France:  country  rich  in  history  and  culture,  land  of  chateaux,  baguettes  and  cheese.  After 
fighting  some  jetlag,  we  left  Hotel  Valgirard  to  discover  Paris,  the  'city  of  lights'.   It  was  fun  figuring  out  the  metro 
system  and  seeing  all  the  monuments  which  before  had  only  been  in  books  or  magazines.  Ordering  a  simple  thing  like 
a  sandwich  or  a  drink  made  it  suddenly  clear  the  importance  of  Grade  9  French.  We  dined  at  the  Eiffel  Tower,  visited 
Notre  Dame,  walked  inquisitively  through  the  catacombs,  and  fought  the  crowds  at  the  Louvre.  Although  exploring 
Paris  was  interesting,  it  was  tiring  and  quite  hard  on  the  feet  and  footwear.  After  this  tasty  introduction  to  parisian  life, 
we  took  the  fast  speed  train  (TGV)  to  Angers  in  the  Loire  Valley.  Here,  the  students  stayed  with  families  for  5  days. 
Now,  the  true  pressure  of  speaking  French  was  on  them.  How  would  they  do?  Quelle  experience!!  After  the  home 
stay  and  with  more  French  culture  under  their  belts,  the  group  headed  off  by  bus  to  visit  the  famous  chateaux.  Kodak's 
stocks  went  up.  Travelling  north  to  Normandy  and  Bntanny  we  were  awed  by  the  splendour  of  Mont  St.  Michel  and  the 
old-world  charm  of  St.  Male,  a  walled  city  on  the  rocky  coast.  One  day  we  travelled  along  the  coast  to  visit  the  D-Day 
beaches  and, of  course,  the  Canadian  and  American  cemeteries.  This  was  a  time  of  reflection  for  many  of  us.  On  the 
road  back  to  Paris  we  overnighted  in  Rouen,  a  city  on  the  Seine  river,  where  Joan  of  Arc  was  burned  at  the  stake. 
Julian,  our  tour  guide,  gave  us  many  good  insights  into  the  history  of  France  and  the  regions  that  we  visited.   In  short, 
a  terrific  trip  which  we  will  not  forget  for  long.  (Vania,  Elizabeth, Q.B,  Nick,  Terrence,Nic,  Richard  and  Monsieur  La

During  Spring  Break  1997,  IVlr.  Jackson  and  Mr.  Leggett  led 
twenty  students  and  four  parents  on  an  adventure  to 
Ecuador  and  the  Galapagos  Islands.  The  trip  proved  to  an 
experience  of  a  lifetime  and  will  be  remembered  by  every- 
one. After  passing  our  first  day  in  the  capital,  Quito,  we 
boarded  the  bus  (Ghostbusters!)  we  would  spend  the  next 
five  days  in.  Our  mainland  tour  consisted  of  a  lot  of  driving, 
with  a  few  stops  at  key  towns  along  the  way,  interrupted 
only  by  Mr.  Jackson's  geology  stops  ("Deanna,  what  kind  of 
rocK  is  this?").    Highlights  and  lowlights  include  the  kids  in 
Banos,  hiking  up  Cotopaxi  volcano  and  the  toilets  in  the 
Amazon.  We  began  the  next  section  of  our  journey  by 
flying  600  miles  off  the  mainland  to  the  Galapagos  Islands. 
Upon  arrival,  we  met  the  boats  which  would  become  our 
home  over  the  next  five  days.  The  Islas  Plazas  and  The 
Encantata,  and  the  crew,  who  would  become  like  family. 
Our  days  included  early  morning  hikes  on  the  islands  to  see 
everything  from  boobies  to  cindercones,  days  of  snorkeling 
with  mantarays  and  sealions,  and  nights  that  ranged  from 
watching  the  stars  to  discoing  in  town.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  the  memories  of  the  lunar  eclipse,  the  dolphins,  the 
birds,  and  the  tortoises  will  remain  with  us  forever.  Thanks 
Mr.  J!!!!!!!

No,  it's  not  an  oxymoron;  the  truth  is,  absolutely  everything  about  the  spring  break  London  Theatre  Trip  was 

fabulous,  even  the  weather.    Seven  days  and  seven  females  in  a  city  if  culture  and  shopping...  well  how  could  it 
not  be  a  success? 

Highlights  of  the  trip  include  front  row  seats  to  the  one-man  play  "The  Importance  of  Being  Oscar,"  and  back- 
alley  loitering  to  obtain  an  autograph  from  the  star  (none  other  than  Simon  Callow,  of  Four  Weddings  and  a 
Funeral.)    Equally  spectacular  was  the  art  exhibit  at  the  Barbican  Centre:  "Modern  Art  in  Britain  1910-14,"  which 
features  the  works  of  various  Bloomsbury  artists,  with  a  few  Van  Gogh's,  Picasso's  and  Gaugin's  thrown  in  to 
ensure  heart  palipitations. 

Musical  desires  were  fulfilled  by  the  Lyceum  Theatre's  production  of  Jesus  Christ  Superstar  (Cara  almost 
passed  out  with  rapture)  and  perhaps  moreso  by  Ali  and  Cara's  reggae  renditions  in  various  Underground 
stations!    We  also  spent  time  at  Westminister  Abbey  and  Cathedral,  Buckingham  Palace  (ask  anyone  about 
"Robert"),  the  British  Museum  and  Madame  Tussaud's.    Shopping?    Everywhere  and  all  the  time! 

It  was  a  great  trip,  with  the  best  company!

It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  see  the  park  benches  in  the  quad  being  enjoyed  by  our  students  this  year. 
The  benches  were  placed  there  as  a  result  of  a  Student  Council  initiative  and  financial  help  from 
the  Parent's  Auxiliary. 

We  have  held  meetings  on  a  regular  basis  throughout  the  year  attending  to  the  many  and  varied 
concerns  of  the  student  body.  There  have  been  questions  about  the  uniform,  the  sports 
programme  ,  the  timetable  ,  the  tuck  shop  ,and  so  the  list  goes  on. 

The  Council  is  not  a  high  profile  organization  but  it  is  important  to  recognize  it  as  a  vital  channel  for 
the  students  at  S.M.U.S.  to  voice  their  ideas  and  concerns. 
My  thanks  to  the  student  representatives  for  a  job  well  done.

Peer  counselling  at  SMUS  continues  to  involve  an  active  group  of  people  who  volunteer  their 
time  to  support  their  friends.  They  work  hard  to  acquire  basic  counselling  skills,  as  well  as  learning 
what  resources  are  available  to  people  who  need  help  with  life  situations.  The  open  house  at  the 
CRD  Birth  Control  Clinic,  and  a  visit  from  a  volunteer  on  the  Need  Crisis  Line  helped  us  look  out- 
side the  world  of  SMUS. 

The  time  commitment  is  big,  but  so  is  the  satisfaction  of  helping.  An  added  compensation  is  that 
peer  counselling  hours  can  be  counted  toward  CAPP  work  experience,  or  for  the  service  compo- 
nent of  the  Duke  of  Edinburgh  program. 


A  major  disappointment  this  year  was  that  the  Lion's  Club  Camp  at  Shawnigan  Lake  was  not 
available  for  our  annual  "retreat".  Between  that  and  academic,  athletic,  and  fine  arts  demands,  the 
peer  counselling  trip  never  happened;  this  in  spite  of  Becky's  willingness  to  host  us  on  Salt  Spring 
Island. 

In  May  the  group  did  some  work  with  the  grade  8  classes  on  the  topics  of  alcohol,  smoking  and 
marijuana.  Mr.  Yorath  was  very  enthusiastic  about  this  project  and  hopes  to  expand  the  contact 
between  peer  counsellors  and  middle  school  students  in  the  future. 

As  always  it  is  hard  to  say  goodbye  to  graduating  students,  although  we  wish  them  the  best  in 
whatever  comes  next.  This  year  they  are:  Peter  Andrachuk,  Tina  Barrett,  Becky  Bazzard,  Jen 
Coelho,  Jen  Ford,  Andrea  Horsman,  Joy  Liu,  and  Matt  Turner.  Other  members  of  the  group  are: 
Sabrina  Loiacono,  Louise  Ritson,  Rebecca  Anglin,  Roxanne  Black,  Emily  Huddart,  Carol  Lewis,

RECITIATION  COMPETITION

The  recitation  competition  is  always  an  exciting  event  and  this  year  was  no  exception.  The  finals  were  held  in  the  school  chapel  before 
an  audience  of  perhaps  eighty  people  and  there  were  some  wonderful  performances.  Lindsay  Basarab  began  the  evening  with  a 
polished  delivery  of  the  Desiderata.  Peter  Kim  in  the  cultural  then  moved  the  audience  with  a  heartfelt  delivery,  first  in  his  native  lan- 
guage and  then  in  English  of  a  poem  called  Birthplace.  He  was  followed  by  wonderful  performances  by  Clare  Jones,  Morgan  Evans, 
Jessica  Miller,  Vanessa  Lee,  Bronwen  Bell  and  Tara  Elson.  After  the  interlude,  Chris  James  instructed  the  audience  in  The  Addressing 
of  Cats  and  Goldie  Chan  delivered  another  moving  cultural  piece  called  Tradition.  Matthieu  Boyd  then  delivered  a  very  mature  rendition 
of  two  Leonard  Cohen  poems  and  was  followed  by  two  equally  strong  performances  by  All  Staseson  doing  a  monologue  which  goes 
dreadfully  awry  and  Jenny  Reed  delivering  a  dignified  recitation  of  a  Louis  MacNiece  poem.  The  evening  ended  with  an  engaging 
performance  of  Angels  in  America  by  Rachel  Magnusson.  Matthieu  Boyd  won  the  award  for  the  top  junior.  All  Staseson  was  the  top 
Dramatic  piece  by  a  senior  and  Peter  Kim  won  the  grand  prize  for  his  wonderful  performance  of  the  poem  Birthplace.  My  congratulations 
to  all  of  the  participants  and  I  hope  that  the  tradition  of  excellence  which  this  competition  represents  will  continue  well  into  the  future.

How  to  provide  students  who  love  to  read  the  opportunity  to  share  their  interests  in  bool<s  and  reading  with 
others?  The  answer  lay  in  formation  of  the  first  Booklover's  Club.  Our  goals  were  to  share  favourite  books,  nneet 
with  other  booklovers  in  the  school,  of  students  from  Grade  9-12,  three  staff  members  and  an  honorary  patron,  Mrs. 
Anne  Snowden  as  part  of  the  Club. 

We  listened  to  Ki  t  Pearson,  Tim  Wynn-Jones  and  Karen  Cushman  at  the  Children's  Literature  Round  Table 
evenings,  and  visited  the  Junior  School  to  hear  storyteller.  Nan  Gregory(How  Smudge  Came!)  The  7.15am  start  for 
the  Princess  Mary  Restaurant  Author  Breakfasts  on  mid-winter  mornings  did  not  deter  us  from  listening  to  authors 
and  artists  such  as  Roy  Vickers  and  David  Bouchard.  Mrs.  Snowden  hosted  a  Christmas  lunch  at  Reynold's 
House  where  we  shared  new  books,  excellent  company  and  Christmas  cheer. 

In  February  we  browsed  the  bookshelves  at  Bolens  and  chose  books  which  now  have  yellow  SMUS  Booklovers' 
Choice  stickers  on  their  front  covers  (look  out  for  orange  SMUS  Student  Choice  and  green  SMUS  Staff  Choice!) 
designed  by  Mrs.  Waksel. 

We  finished  off  the  year  with  a  t-shirt  competition  (thank  you  Miss  Greer,  Ashley  and  Lindsay)  and  a  wonderful 
potluck  bartecue  at  Reynold's  House  with  Mrs.  Snowden  where  we  said  farewell  to  Kathryn  Wynn  and  Michelle 
Phipps  and  made  plans  for  next  year.  In  the  Fall  we  will  welcome  all  interested  new  members. 

Thank  you  Kathryn,  Michelle,  Cathy,  Lindsay,  Katherine,  Philip,  Ashley,  Mrs  Waksel,  Miss  Greer  and  Mrs. 
Snowden  for  your  contribution  to  the  first  Booklover's  Club!  We  look  forward  to  another  enjoyable  year  sharing  our 
common  maxim:  "I  cannot  live  without  books"  (Thomas  Jefferson)

This  year  the  jazz  band  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  IVIacKay  did  a  tour  of  Ontario  .  We  started  the  trip  by  flying  to  Toronto 
where  we  connected  with  our  hosts  from  Upper  Canada  College  and  Bishop  Strachan  School.    The  next  day  we  played  an 
extremely  well  received  concert  for  the  girls  at  Bishop  Strachan.  After  that  we  went  to  the  CN  Tower  and  then  did  a  nice 
walking  tour  of  Toronto  with  Mr  Belliveau  as  our  guide.   He  along  with  Mr.  MacKay's  wife,  Audrey  (the  band  mom)  were  the 
other  chaperones  on  the  trip  and  appeared  to  enjoy  themselves  immensely. 

The  next  day  we  headed  out  to  Woodbndge,  an  Italian  community  on  the  outskirts  of  Toronto.   Mr.  Lettieri  had  brought  his 
band  out  to  our  school  in  March  and  his  students  were  extremely  receptive  to  us  and  treated  us  royally.  We  played  a  one 
hour  concert  for  them,  settled  in  with  our  billets  for  the  night  and  the  next  day  visited  Canada's  Wonderland,  an  outrageous 
roller  coaster  park.   It  was  great  fun  and  even  Mr.  MacKay  did  the"Drop  Zone"  a  couple  of  times.  There  was  no  way, 
however,  that  Mr, Belliveau  was  going  to  do  that. 

Our  next  stop  was  Lakefield  College  where  we  again  were  treated  most  kindly  by  Mr.  Grasmuck  and  the  students.  The 
concert  there  was  one  of  the  finest  any  jazz  band  from  SMU  has  ever  played  and  the  students  of  LCS  were  very  respon- 
sive. 

On  Saturday  we  bussed  to  Ottawa,  spent  some  time  touring  and  then  settled  into  our  hotel  where  Alex,  Patrick  and  Bryce 
put  on  a  mini  jazz  show  around  the  pool.  The  next  morning  we  were  off  to  the  National  Music  Festival  in  Hull.  We  listened 
to  a  few  bands  then  played  our  set  and  waited  for  the  results.  What  a  pleasant  surprise  for  our  group  to  win  a  silver  medal 
at  this  level.  Everyone  was  ecstatic.  We  then  went  to  the  closing  ceremonies  and  flew  home  the  next  morning.  All  in  all  it 
was  a  very  good  trip  and  a  fine  time  was  had  by  everyone.

In  the  words  of  Robert  Herrick,  "Old  time  is  still  a-flying"  and  this  year  is  no  exception.  It  seems  like  only  yesterday  that  we  welcomed  everyone  back 
from  summer  vacation.  We  were  joined  by  lyiike  (son  and  Kelly  Greenwell,  two  new  house  assistants  who  adjusted  quickly  to  their  new  jobs.  New 
students  were  Ken  Lee.  Omar  Alasaly  and  a  latecomer  from  England,  Jon  Hampson.  Greatly  reduced  in  size  due  to  the  top  floor  take-over  by  Winslow 
girls,  our  twenty-two  Barnacle  Baselisks  fought  bravely  in  the  battle  of  the  housepoints  to  maintain  their  second  place  finish. 

The  year  has  been  both  hectic  and  rewarding  for  most  of  us.  House  dinner  at  Earl's,  barbecues  at  the  G's,  inner-house  basketball  nights  and  ten 
pin  bowling,  movie  and  Pizza  nights,  are  just  a  few  of  the  popular  activities  in  which  we  participated.  Other  things,  somewhat  less  advertised,  have  also 
been  recorded:  the  return  of  Ryota's  long-lost  yen;  the  late  night  excursion  of  BJ  and  Mafu;  the  extraordinary  flood  in  J  and  O's  room  [ugh!]  GG  and  J's 
morning  sleep-a-thons;  GG's  strange  cackling  laughter  emitting  from  rooms  all  over  the  house:  weird  noises  from  Winslow  disturbing  the  dead  zone  of 
the  upstairs  hallway:  talkathons  in  the  front  hall:  strange  disappearances:  GG,  J  and  S's  marathon  morning  sleepins:  strange  smells-  Korean  cooking 
?'-!*$#  -  was  that  music?  GG,  J,  S  and  J-W  sleepins:  the  yucky  award-winning  room  of  J  and  S:  K's  yellow  specs  and  silk  pj's;  and  01  pacing  the 

halls 

On  a  serious  note,  there  was  a  lot  to  be  proud  of  this  year.  There  has  been  so  much  that  we  cannot  mention  everyone,  but  you  know  who  you  are. 
On  the  academic  front,  most  Bamaciers  made  satisfying  progress.  Well  done!  Hearty  Congratulations  to  all  those  who  have  given  their  untiring  effort  to 
Drama.  Rugby,  Basketball,  Soccer,  Badminton,  Scorekeeping,  Choirs,  food  Committee,  pop-can  collecting  and  volunteer  wori<.  Better  luck  next  year  to 
those  who  did  not  participate.  Tsk!  Tsk! 

There  are  some  bouquets  to  be  handed  out:  to  Mr.  Kuklinski  [Mr  3K  Coy],  our  able  assistant,  who  is  fast  becoming  a  world  renowned  Rugby 
referee:  to  Mr.  Mike  Ison,  [Big  Red]  who  came  to  us  from  Ridley  College  and  is  moving  over  to  Bolton  to  become  the  Grade  Eight  Supervisor:  to  Mr. 
Kelly  Greenwell,  [I  hate  Vancouver]  an  alumnus  of  SMUS,  who  will  remain  next  year;  thank  you  for  your  many  contributions  throughout  the  year  to  life  in 
Barnacle  House. 

A  big  thank  you  for  the  excellent  leadership  of  our  Head  of  House  Sendjaja  Desember.  ably  supported  by  Assistant  Sunny  Kim  and  prefects  Lucas 
Lee,  Borden  Tseng  and  Glen  Gibbons.  Finally  as  we  say  goodbye  to  our  grads,  Sendjaja,  Sunny,  Lucas,  Jae-Won,  Ben,  Borden,  Glen,  Jeff  and  Jon, 
and  to  James,  who  will  continue  his  education  in  England,  we  Bamaciers  wish  you  all  good  health  and  happiness  as  you  pull  out  of  the  SMUS  station. 
May  the  next  section  of  track  on  your  journey  along  life's  railroad  be  stimulating,  rewarding  and  smoke-free. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bill  and  Sylvia  Greenwell

This  was  a  year  of  a  lot  of  ups  and  two  big  downs   I'll  start  with  the  good  news   Within  the  last  twenty-four  hours  the  secunty  blanket  surrounding  the  identity  of  the  House  Competition  champions  was  finally  lifted. 

to  a  yawn  from  Yos  and  polite  applause  from  the  other  five  houses.  This  year's  version  of  the  competition  was  a  tight  affair  that  came  down  to  the  last  event  on  the  last  day  and  produced  a  result  that  was  a  tnbute 

to  all  who  participated,  but  in  particular  to  the  grade  twelves,  who  set  a  great  example  of  commitment  and  leadership   Bolton  performed  well  in  all  areas  of  the  competition,  showing  exceptional  musicianship  in 

basketball  games  and  a  deftness  of  touch  in  taping  a  fellow  student  to  the  gym  wall:  disqualified  in  the  orange-passmg  contest  for  eating  the  orange,  we  rebounded  in  the  wrap-a-studenl-in-toilet-paper  competition 

to  win  with  a  straight  flush.  My  one  regret  was  that  the  boarding  community  did  not  get  the  opportunity  to  witness  the  speed  and  skill  of  our  soccer  and  floor  hockey  teams,  but  this  was  partly  offset  by  the 

performance  of  our  relay  teams  -  Vmce.  Ed.  Chns  and  Danny  in  the  4X50-metre  relay  and  Jesse  and  Gustavo  in  the  race  to  fetch  a  replacement  egg  for  the  egg-and-spoon  race  after  we  lost  the  hard-boiled  one. 

Other  houses  might  be  interested  to  learn  that  our  success  this  year  has  been  due  to  avoiding  vegetables  and  having  mothers  who.  to  judge  by  their  phone  calls  dunng  prep,  are  much  younger  than  you  would 

expect;  the  tendency  of  the  basement  to  flood  at  the  start  of  the  year  also  kept  us  alert  and  fit. 

The  year  marked  the  end  of  an  era.  to  represent  it  in  any  other  terms  would  be  to  understate  the  impact  that  Messrs  Jeremy  Goodwin  and  Todd  Milford  have  had  on  Bolton  House,  the  school  and  westem 

civilization  in  general  since  the  beginning  of  the  nineties  The  announcement  of  Mr  Goodwin's  impending  retirement  from  boarding  did  not  come  as  a  shock,  since  his  shift  in  the  vineyard  has  been  a  long  one  and  of 

late  his  glance  has  strayed  with  increasing  frequency  and  ardour  to  his  golf  clubs  Nonetheless,  it  was  not  long  before  the  implications  of  his  move  began  to  sink  in  and  we  realized  that  next  year  the  comdors 

would  no  longer  resonate  to  stentorian  sounds  ot  displeasure  as  JJG  discovered  grade  eights  under  a  pile  of  laundry,  or  underwear  that  contravened  most  of  the  provisions  of  the  Geneva  Conventon;  or  Yos  in 

bed;  no  longer  would  we  be  treated  to  the  spectacle  ot  JJ  attacking  a  toilet  bowl  with  his  redoubtable  plunger  in  a  manner  reminiscent  of  Don  Qui)Ote  and  his  windmills:  no  more  would  the  pocket  money  be 

distnbuted  by  colour  rather  than  by  amount  Like  the  well-worn  but  beloved  jacket  of  an  elderly  golfer,  JJ  was  as  much  a  part  of  Bolton  House  as  the  walls  and  doors  -  more  dependably  so.  in  fact,  since  he  didnl 

sag  or  spnng  leaks  as  often  and  his  handles  didn't  fall  off. 

He  will  view  his  six  years  in  the  latest  edition  of  Bolton  House  with  a  mixture  of  tolerant  amusement,  fnjstration.  despair  and,  we  hope,  affection:  amusement  at  our  attempts  to  establish  any  kind  of  routine; 

fnjstration  and  despair  as  some  rooms  turned  into  archaeological  middens;  affection  for  what  has  become  a  large,  unnjiy  but  extraordmanly  loyal  family.  I  can  say  with  some  conviction  that  certain  memones  of  his 

association  with  the  House  will  haunt  him  to  the  end  of  his  days:  his  weekly  duels  with  Chns  Fulton,  the  king  of  the  bath  mat;  Dermott  Hutlon,  the  singing  nun,  Bawo  Daibo  and  Euan  Frew,  whose  room  provided 

living  evidence  of  the  ability  of  matter  to  expand  and  occupy  a  space  larger  than  that  available,  and  Yos,  who  spent  more  of  the  year  asleep  than  awake  and  is  probably  unaware  that  Mr  Goodwin  ever  addressed 

him.  These  ghosts  will  cause  him  to  shank  the  occasional  dnve,  but  he  will  remember  them  fondly  in  the  secunty  of  a  distant  bunker  or  clubhouse.  The  bronchial  moaning  of  the  vacuum  cleaners  on  Thursday 

evenings  will  be  more  mournful,  and  there  will  not  be  the  same  snap  to  the  closing  of  drawers  on  a  week's  worth  of  detntus  at  the  approach  of  the  Grand  Inquisitor.  He  will  be  missed. 

The  vacuums  will  also  be  playing  a  lament  for  the  departure  of  an  assistant,  a  fnend  and  a  mentor  whose  sojoum  in  the  House  has  been  shorter  than  JJ's  but  nonetheless  amazingly  nch  in  human  warmth, 

commitment  and  vitality   Todd  Milford  joined  us  in  September,  I993.and,  in  a  world  of  uniforms,  protocol  and  adolescent  stnving  for  sophistication,  at  once  stood  out  as  a  beacon  of  straightfonward  integrity  and 

canng.  Whether  as  House  Assistant  or  Grade  Eight  Advisor,  he  spent  most  of  his  waking  hours  helping  students  with  their  academic  work  or  personal  problems,  or  refining  esotenc  fnsbee  techniques,  his 

congenital  inability  to  refuse  a  favour  enmeshed  him  m  such  disparate  tasks  as  house-  sitting,  bike-mending  and  bootlegging  Starbuck's  coffee  for  the  duty  staff  and  prefects,  and  he  narrowly  escaped  a  gnsly  end 

at  the  paws  of  his  temporary  roommate  last  Chnstmas   Todd  has  been  so  much  of  the  heart  and  soul  of  Bolton  House  that  we  will  require  a  penod  of  chrysalis- 1  ike  introversion  before  emerging  as  a  new  and,  we 

tnjst,  reinvigorated  body.  In  casual  conversation  with  Ed  and  Mike  the  other  day  I  alluded  to  the  possibility  that  the  prefects  would  consider  a  grade  1 3  tenn  to  tide  us  over  the  loss  of  Messrs  Goodwin  and  Milford; 

their  hystencal  laughter  suggested  that  I  might  have  to  wait  some  time  for  an  answer  in  the  affirmative. 

Considenng  that  we  shall  also  be  losing  one  of  the  strongest  corps  pf  prefects  m  living  memory,  we  might  have  been  tempted  to  circle  the  waggons.  Fortunately,  we  can  face  the  future  with  perhaps  more  optimism 

than  we  might  have  had  reason  to  expect  In  Mr  Charles  Bumett  we  have  an  Assistant  House  Parent  who  understands  the  vaganes  ot  Bolton  House  and  bnngs  considerable  expenence  of  the  SMUS  boarding 

system,  on  lx)th  sides  of  the  fence,  to  the  job  of  filling  Mr  Goodwin's  shoes;  in  Hywel  Jones  we  have  one  of  the  people  for  whom  the  fence  was  built.  And.  of  course,  our  peripatetic  troubadour,  Cam  Culham,  will  be 

back  to  set  every  duty  evening  to  music  Our  slate  of  prefects  for  next  year  is  strong  and  imbued  with  the  tnje  Bolton  virtues,  whatever  they  are;  despite  the  occasional  nostalgic  glance  over  the  shoulder,  we  are 

looking  forward  with  confidence  to  another  fine  year. 

Farewell  to  David  Hsu  and  Geoff  Gledhill:  we  have  enjoyed  your  company  and  hope  that  you  will  visit  soon  To  Ed.  Mike,  Danny.  Vince,  Gary.  Enc,  Keith,  Voun-Keun  and  Irvin  -   thanks  for  everything:  your  loyal 

leadership  has  been  responsible  for  so  much  of  what  has  gone  nght  this  year,  especially  for  the  warm  relationships  that  are  so  vital  for  the  smooth  operation  of  a  student  residence.  You  pass  on  a  healthy  torch;  it  is 

now  up  to  Nick  and  company  to  get  Yos  up  m  the  morning  (perhaps  by  using  the  healthy  torch),  to  separate  David  and  Scott  from  their  skates,  and  to  find  the  toilet  plunger.  Our  fingers  are  crossed.

1997  marks  a  major  turning  point  in  the  demographics  of  the  boarding  community.  Symons  House,  it  was  decided,  was 
to  become  a  girls'  residence  for  the  '97-'98  campaign.  So,  despite  their  unanimous  conviction  to  stay  there  anyway,  the 
stallions  pictured  above  represent  the  last  bastion  of  testosterone  ever  to  grace  the  halls  of  the  building.  This  year's 
Sassenachs  did  not  "go  gentle  into  that  good  night"  but  forever  etched  their  names  into  Symons  House  lore.  For  example, 
legend  has  it  that  Yusuf  anf  Jack  were  once  found  awake  during  prep.  And,  although  records  of  the  event  are  spotty  at 
best,  it  has  been  speculated  that  Dave  may  have  at  one  time  sat  quietly  at  his  desk  for  almost  two  straight  hours.  Ji, 
historians  now  claim,  once  endured  a  whole  half  hour  without  talking  on  the  phone.  Word  is  still  out  on  whether  Ross  may 
have  done  the  same.  Daniel  and  Charles,  many  say,  set  an  unofficial  school  record  for  the  most  number  of  consecutive 
tutorials  spent  in  a  state  of  non-attendance.  Rigorous  scrutiny  of  the  log  book  also  suggests  that  Gary  may  have  at  one 
time  been  in  bed  at  lights  out  and  that  Richard  once  took  in  a  breath  of  fresh  air  (a  claim  supported  by  the  sharp  decline  in 
the  state  economy  of  Virginia  at  that  same  moment).  Records  also  point  to  an  incident  in  which  Milan  is  reportd  to  have 
passed  a  mirror  without  assuming  an  interminable  series  of  buff  postures.  And  perhaps  most  shocking  of  all,  a  member  of 
the  school  community  reportedly  spotted  The  Artist  Formerly  Known  As  Andy  on  campus  during  the  third  term.  A  rare 

sighting  indeed,  for  that  time  of  year.  And  speaking  of  sightings,  Shingo  was  once  seen  outside  the well,  these  are  just 

rumours  after  all.  So,  as  the  year  draws  to  a  close  and  our  graduates  scatter  to  the  four  winds  (and  the  others  to  the  three 
other  male  houses)  a  big  thank  you  must  be  sent  out  to  all  for  making  the  year  such  a  memorable  one.  Mr.  Evan  Jones  and 
Mr.  Scott  McQueen  also  take  with  them  our  best  wishes  as  they  take  their  leave  from  life  in  the  residential  bubble. 

Remember  chaps:  The  boys  may  be  gone,  but  the  legend  lives  on.

The  year  began  as  a  tumultuous  one  with  an  extended  house  (50  girls),  four  new  assistant  housemums  and  me,  new  to  the  position  of  senior  housemum. 
Many  of  the  returning  girls  felt  distressed  by  the  lack  of  familiar  faces  on  staff.  However,  the  new  housemums  were  enthusiastic,  optimistic,  and  ready  to 
commit  to  the  house  and  the  girls,  and  it  wasn't  long  before  they  proved  themselves  kind,  caring  and  supportive.   By  second  term  relationships  had  been 
formed  and  the  girls  were  into  a  positive  routine.  There  was  never  a  dull  moment  as  our  lives  seemed  to  be  one  (melo)drama  after  another  with  the  girls  and 
housemums  swept  up  in  the  constant  ebb  and  flood  of  emotional  experiences.  Jamie  (grade  1 1 ).  in  a  farewell  speech  to  her  roommate.  Mellissa.  at  the  year 
end  picnic,  eluded  to  the  often  intense  relationships  that  develop  in  boarding  when  she  stated  that  "you  either  hate  or  love  your  roommate!"  Thankfully  she 
loved  her  roommate  ("even  more  than  Ivan!").  However  not  every  roommate  painng  is  so  fortunate,  and  many  girls  go  through  the  experience  of  learning  to 
compromise,  to  communicate  specific  needs,  and  hopefully,  to  develop  compassion  and  diplomacy  in  the  process. 

The  year  was  extremely  eventful  with  weekly  activities  such  as  swimming  and  Family  Time  (baking  cookies  and  watching  90210  were  favourites).  Also, 
there  were  numerous  seasonal  activities,  Girls  nights  at  Wenman  Pavilion,  and  house  dinners  and  picnics.  Then  there  was  the  house  event  of  the  year,  the 
Winslow  Raid!!  The  housemums,  aliases  Vice,  Thunder,  Coug,  Lucky  Lady  and  Jimmy,  dressed  in  black  and  donning  sunglasses,  whipped  the  girls  into  a 
frenzy  of  excitement  and  house  spirit.  The  war  paint  came  out.  the  house  chant  resonated  throughout  the  quad,  and  the  Winslow  girls  were  left  shocked  and 
thoroughly  crushed  in  games  of  Shoes  and  tug  of  war!  One  of  the  girls  commented  she  felt  the  Timmis  spirit  "pulsing  through  her  veins!" 

Besides  these  many  and  varied  house  events,  the  girls  were  witness  to  the  progression  of  two  pregnancies.  On  the  eve  of  January  06,  a  few  hours 
before  our  house  meeting  to  welcome  the  girls  back  from  Christmas  holidays.  I  phoned  Ms.  Walinga  to  say  I  would  not  be  able  to  run  the  meeting  because  I 
thought  (though  I  was  not  convinced  )  that  I  was  in  labour.  Word  traveled  quickly  and  within  minutes  the  house  was  in  hysteria.   I  had  continual  knocks  at  my 
door  from  excited  and  expectant  faces  offering  everything  from  good  luck  hugs  and  a  dream  catcher  for  the  baby,  to  chocolate  chip  cookies!!   I  drank  raspberry 
leaf  tea  (supposedly  reduces  the  intensity  of  labour)  with  the  other  housemums  in  between  contractions.  It  was  wonderful  and  very  supportive  to  be  able  to 
share  this  emotional  and  awesome  experience  with  the  girls  and  the  housemums.  and  just  before  midnight.  Graeme  was  born  (in  the  hospital)!  And  as  I  write 
this,  Mrs.  Belliveau  sits  beside  me  with  a  very  distended  belly,  being  only  3  weeks  away  from  her  delivery  due  date.  We  wish  her  a  safe,  gentle  and  speedy 
delivery  of  her  baby.  There  are  many  more  such  tales  and  each  girl  will  have  her  own  favourite  stones  and  memories  of  the  year. 

Thank  you  to  our  prefects:  Andrea  Horsman  (head  of  house),  Vanessa  Yang,  Jennifer  Ford.  Michelle  Hau,  Amber  Hall,  and  Alisa  Cooper  for  their 
sterling  efforts  and  leadership  throughout  the  year.  To  the  housemums:  Ms.  Walinga.  Mrs.  Belliveau.  Ms.  Miller,  and  Ms.  Hannan,  my  dear  friends,  thank  you 
for  your  unwavehng  support  and  love  of  the  girls.  To  the  graduates,  we  hope  you  have  learned  from  your  experiences  here  and  are  now  ready  for  the  years 
ahead.  We  wish  you  all  the  best  and  expect  you  to  keep  in  touch.  To  Mrs.  Belliveau  and  the  girls  who  will  be  moving  to  Symons  house  (the  new  girls'  house), 
we  are  sad  you  will  no  longer  be  apart  of  the  Timmis  family,  but  comforted  by  the  knowledge  that  you  will  still  be  living  in  the  building  and  that  we  will  see  you 
daily.  Thanks  to  Ms,  Hannan,  affectionately  known  as  Jimmy,  for  such  a  warm  and  compassionate  spirit.  You  have  given  yourself  so  completely  to  this  school  , 
and  especially  to  our  house.  You  are  loved  dearly  and  will  be  missed  beyond  words.  We  wish  you  a  safe  trip  home  to  Australia  and  a  wonderful  reunion  with 
your  family.  To  the  girls  returning,  we  look  forward  to  a  smaller  house  and  a  fabulous  year  along  side  our  new  sister  house. 

Mrs.  Hyde-Lay,  Senior  Housemum

The  year  passed  far  too  quickly  in  a  whirlwind  of  activity  and  change,  September  arrived,  as  did  28  new  girls,  21  returning 
house  vets;  and  new  house  staff  Ms.  Hart.  Ms.  Hunter  and  Mrs.  Forbes.  The  increase  in  girl  boarders  caused  the  third  floor  of 
Winslow  to  extend  across  to  the  third  floor  of  Barnacle.  The  prefects  and  house  staff  held  their  breath  in  anticipation-  what 
would  this  year  bring  and  how  were  we  going  to  effectively  manage  and  connect  with girls? 

The  year  was  good  to  us  and  the  girls  are  to  be  credited  for  creating  a  home  which  was  filled  with  warmth  and  spirit.  The 
girls  learned  and  practiced  the  value  of  good  friendship  and  sisterhood.  This  year's  prefects,  Jen  deHaan,  Head  of  House, 
Yan  Mak,  Coille  Atchiey,  Marisa  Ishihara,  Sharon  Om,  Connie  Sze  and  housekeeper  Joy  Liu,  are  to  be  commended  for  their 
outstanding  contributions  to  the  house. 

This  year's  "sanctioned"  house  activities  included:  dinner  at  Macaroni  Grill,  movie  nights,  video  nights,  waterfights,  the  first 
annual  house  ski  trip  to  Mt.  Washington  (tagged  by  the  girls,  "chick  trip  1997"),  pizza  and  ice  cream  cake  nights  and  Mrs. 
Tongue's  snack  nights.  We  topped  the  year  off  with  an  elegant  evening  out  on  the  town  -  the  girls  were  dressed  to  the  nines 
and  we  started  the  night  with  a  Tally  Ho  Carriage  tour  of  Beacon  Hill  Park,  then  moved  on  to  the  Grand  Pacific  Hotel  for  dinner 
in  our  own  pnvate  dining  room. 

Beyond  the  classroom  and  the  house,  the  girls  were  also  very  generous  with  their  time  and  energy.  Many  of  the  girls 
performed  volunteer  duties  at  the  local  hospital,  spending  time  with  senior  citizens,  volunteering  with  alumni  weekend  and 
working  with  the  Global  Society. 

Thank  you  girls,  for  a  wonderful  year.  To  our  graduating  Winslow  girls,  we  wish  you  success  and  happiness  in  your  life 
ahead  and  beyond  the  doors  of  your  home  at  Winslow  House.
