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


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


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

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


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

<Av 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Acknowledgements: 


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

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

Butterflies 

By  Claire  Jackson.  4D 

Fluttering  around  in  the  sky 
Sitting  on  branches  of  trees 
Making  things  bright  with  colour 
Looking  like  confetti  sailing  in  the  wind 
Making  people  feel  peaceful.

I  Wish 


By  Robyn  Hope,  4G 

I  wish  I  could  own  a  farm 

So  I  could  have  a  horse. 

I  would  saddle  myself  up. 

So  the  horse  could  ride  me,  of  course. 

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

It's  Halloween! 

By  Anna  Willnis,  Grade  Ofie. 

I  see  a  witch. 

I  hear  owls. 
I  taste  candy 

I  feel  my  mask. 
I  smell  soup. 
BOO. 


By  Taylor  Moon,  5H 

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

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

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

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

The  Pencil  Sharpener 

By  Eric  May.  4G 

Kids  lining  up  to  sharpen  their  pencils 

Buzz,  buzz  -  there  they  go 

Now  they're  nice  and  sh;irp 

A  gray  machine  is  everything  to  a  pencil 

It  loses  mv  concentration.  . 


If  My  Face  Were  Outer  Space: 

By  Jeffery  Miller,  Grade  3 

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

My  eyes  would  be  moons  with  craters  deep. 

My  eyebrows  would  be  spitting,  shouting  stars. 

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

My  forehead  would  be  a  rockship  going  to  the  moon. 

My  ears  would  be  satellites,  looking  at  Jupiter. 

My  teeth  would  be  craters  drifting  in  space. 

My  nose  would  be  an  astroid  belt  heading  for  Earth.

The  Beach 

By  Claire  Mackenzie 

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

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

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

Sea  Otter 


By  Elizabeth  Fenje,  grade  5h 

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

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

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

Triatlilons 


Nathaniel  Reid,  4J 


By  Scott  Dallen,  4D 

Transition  is  hard  to  learn 

Running  long  distances 

I  did  5  major  triathlons  last  year 

At  transition  you  can  lose  a  lot  of  time 

Transition  time  is  critical 

Hydration  is  very  important 

Losing  1  event  could  lower  your  confidence 

Only  determination  and  practice  gets  you  to 

the  finish  line 

Needs  lots  and  lots  of  training 

Swimming,  sweating,  satisfaction

How  did  die 
bears  get  blapk 
noses?    - 

By  Derek  Hyde-Lay.  grade  2 

A  long  time  ago  bears  had  red  noses. 
But  there  was  a  bear  that  wanted  a  black 
nose.  So  he  went  to  lie  under  the  black 
fiiiit  tree  on  his  back.  Suddenly  a  fruit 
fell  off  the  tree  and  hit  him  in  the  nose. 
That's  how  the  bgargot  a  black  nose. 


SnowMan 

By  Tavish  Gudgeon,  Grade  2 

I  wanted  to  make  a 

Snowman  but  it  was  Summer. 
Instead  I  made  a  dirt  man 

And  threw  it  at  my  brother. 

AGolfball'sPoint 
ofVicw 

By  Ross  Prager,  4D 

In  the  pocket, 

I  go  along 

Musky  smells  and  darkness 

Hand  is  lifting,  up  I  go 

Balanced  on  stub,  ready  to  go 

Feels  like  a  barstool 

Wind  is  rushing 

Bang.  I'm  hit 

Flying  higher  and  higher 

Dimples  catch  the  air 

What  can  I  see,  what  can  I  do 

Suddenly  thump,  I  land  on  a  green  patch 

Scmed  ready  to  be  hit  again 

Voice  says  "What  a  good  shot" 

Plunk  in  the  hole  I  go.

There  were  no  dinosaurs  when  people  were  alive! 

But  how  do  scientists  know  about  dinosaurs? 

How  do  scientists  know  how  big  dinosaurs'  brains  were? 

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

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


Micheal  Rossi,  Kindergarten 


Once  upon  a  time  there  w  as  a  prince  and  a  princess  and 
there  was  a  dog.  "'Princess,  we  must  sell  our  dog."  "Look 
how  much  money  we  have  made!  I  want  to  spend  it." 


Serenity  -  Based  on  "The  fall  of  the  Cowboy" 

By  Kate  Peiffer.  grade  5J 

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

The  Ghost  Town 

Based  on  "View  of  Toledo" 

By  Ben  Effa,  grade  5J 

Thunder  booms  in  the  ebony  sky. 

A  bolt  of  brilliant  lightning  cracks  through  the 

Sky.  sending  light  across  a  desolate  city. 

Darkness  reigns. 

In  the  next  flash,  a  deserted 

City  can  be  seen. 

Clinging  to  the  over-grown 

Hillside,  the  old  city  sits 

Crumbling,  year  after  year. 

A  palace  sits  in  ruins, 

Its  walls  breaking  down  to  blocks 

Of  ancient  marble.  A  screaming  wind 

Blows  through  the  luscious  trees. 

Rustles  through  the  wild  untamed  undergrow  lli. 

Tragedy  has  struck  this  city.

The  Ocean 


The  tranquil  waves 

Lapped  against  the  side  of  the  boat 

The  candles  burned  brightly 

Under  the  darkening  sky. 

A  ring  of  honeyed  light 

Surrounded  the  horizon, 

Pouring  its  golden  rays 

Over  the  highlands. 


The  air  was  cool 

Against  my  hollow  cheeks 

The  wind  lightly 

Played  with  my  hair.

Hallowe'en 


The  autumn  leaves  were  colours  of  red  and  orange. 

The  little  rows  of  cottages  had  sweet  smells 

Of  freshly  baked  pumpkin  pie  drifting  out  of  the  windows. 

The  scarewcrow  stcmds  still  on  the  pumpkin  patch. 

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


mM 


Kids  of  all  ages  dress  up  in  funny  little  clothes. 

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

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

They  have  no  worries,  but  one.  their  mother. 

She  stands  there  waiting,  annoying  them  with  her  presence. 

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

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

That's  it  folks,  nothing  to  see  there. 

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

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


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

STRINGS 


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

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

BAND  &  CHOIR 

Music  at  the  Middle  School 

Another  busy  year  has  come  and  gone.  Following  spring 
break,  rehearsal  went  into  full  swing  for  the  many  perfor- 
mances in  which  our  students  participated.  On  April  20th,  the 
Stage  Band  performed  at  the  Spring  Fair.  This  was  followed 
a  couple  of  days  later  with  a  clonic  for  the  Honour  Band 
administered  by  music  educator/adjudicator  Mr.  Dave  Dimnet. 
The  Grade  7  Intermediate  Band  performed  at  the  Junior 
School  with  students  demonstrating  some  of  the  instruments  to 
the  younger  children.  The  annual  SMUS  Middle  School 
Spring  Concert  took  place  at  the  University  of  Victoria

School  Stage  Band  joining  with  the  Junior  and 
Senior  Jazz  Bands  and  Vocal  Jazz  from  Senior  School  in 
performance. 

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

Throughout  the  year,  many  students  performed  solos  in  our 
weekly  chapel  as  well  as  the  many  performances  mentioned 
above.  Our  congratulations  to  all  of  our  young  musicians  on

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carpe  Diem!  And  Vivat!

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

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

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

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

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

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

awesome  buddies,  whom  I  will  never  forget,  you  have  made  my  ordinary  school  life  into  a  joyful  and  special 

time,  DeresaMs!  I  always  sympathized  with  you  -  the  funniest  creature,  24  hrs  available!  Thanks  for 

carrying  my  freezer!  Yoo-Hang.  my  giraffe!  long-thin-living  charisma!  Anna,  JTL  lover,  your  shocking, 

unpredictable  manner  had  me  laughing  hysterically  everyday,  Hulia,  let  me  know  if  someone  bothers  you.  Dear,  princess 

JenJang!  (and  her  loyal  family)  my  loveliest  sis,  lazy,  sleepy,  hungry,  harmful.  You  princess,  please  move  your  body!  Our 

maison  is  waiting  for  our  next  mission!  Finally,  thanks  to  my  mommy,  daddy,  and  brother  whom  I  love  infinitely.  Also  thanks 

lo  alien  sonja,  cute  minji,  quiet  si  yeon,  hungry  kyonminkun  and  yuko.  You  guys  rock!  Grad  2002,  best  wishes  to  all  of  you! 

I  made  it  lo  graduation  and  now  I  can  say  "life  is  beautiful!"

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

lor  the  great  time!  Peace.  vn

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Company.  Anna,  you  are  the  reason  my  love  for  the  game  is  so  great:  youre  an  inspiration  to  all.  Kristie,  I  think  you  get  it 

"You  are  guided  by  a  force  much  greater  than  luck,  thus  striking  a  blow  at  all  that  is  evil  and  making  the  world  a  better  place

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My  four  years  at  SMUS  have  been  full  of  unforgettable  and  unique  experiences.  I  wish  to  thank  everyone  who  has 
been  part  of  the  experiences,  starting  with  my  three  roommates;  Jin  Woo.  Speedo  and  Chan.  Jin  Woo,  thanks

either,  but  the  virus  gets  us  all  somehow;  Trevor,  you've  been  a  great  roommate  and  there  won't  be  another  like 
you  despite  what  the  phone  book  thinks;  don't  forget  about  Babe  or  Horse  and  remember  no  one  wants  to  see 
It,  especially  not  at  dinner.  To  the  rest;  Adam  —  hope  you  never  have  to  ride  the  bus  again.  Dual  Bios!!  Elliott, 
you  are  a  mess,  don't  ever  forget  that.  Fish-on.  Orsy  —  Canucks  6  Leafs  1 .  eh.  Franklin?. Hansi  —  have  fun.  Brad.  Aki  —  keep  playing 
soccer  because  one  day  Canada  will  beat  Japan.  Mike  Hu  —  happy  1 9th  again.  I  will  always  remember  it.  Daisuke  —  happy  birthday. 
I  wish  also  to  thank;  Golian.  Kuhn.  Bogutz.  Whitey.  Stu,  Chris  Kim.  Aashish.  Liz  Mitchell,  Jose,  Patricio,  Melon  head  Lui.  Yun  Young,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

for  you.  Thanks  for  so  many  great  years!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy  Birthday,  Daisuke!

My  ordeal  at  SMUS  began  in  the  big  K  where  I  met  the  likes  ot  i 

dramatically  changed  in  gr.  4  when  GM  decided  to  come  to  SMUS  -  you  ve  aiwayb  u«e, .  u  ...,=  ,w,  ,.  ,<.  ...c... 

thanks-  tell  your  mom  I'm  really  sorry  about  the  sink.  Middle  school  was  another  big  step:  I  met  Embryo 

and  6-dawq  -  Ernest  soon  becoming  their  second  home:  still  high  off  life  boys^  Another  character  I  made 

close  ties  with  was  CA  -  black  from  the  waist  up.  eh?  Don't  hate  the  player,  hate  the  game:  am  I  nght. 

mv  friend-?  Moving  from  middle  to  senior  school  wasn't  easy,  but  the  senior  school's  been  good  to  me.    ve 

made  many  a  fnend  here:  Greaseball-O'Lyall  rules:  we  will  be  famous.  And  how's  Mr.  Bums'?  PC.  two 

words-  shibby  and  Satan.  PB/Skinny  -  the  fiercesome  threesome,  and  III  be  dnnking  Coke  tonight  -   mean  Pepsi.  You  guys 

are  my  boys  I'll  be  back  don't  worry.  Cols-  thanks.  Fran  -  completely  innocent,  totally  platonic.  and  obviously  just  fnends. 

JP- we're  still  not  finished  our  game,  let's  not  forget  the  good  times.  Papa  -  like  father  like  son:  Papa/Mom  -  in  tough  times 

you  kept  me  going,  you  did  so  much  for  so  little,  thank  you.  Steph/Felicia-  I  love  you:  don  t  ever  forget  that,  you  guys  a,e

It's  been  a  while  since  I've  looked  back  on  my  years  at  SMUS:  in  this  moment  of  reflection  I  realize  now 
many  people  have  been  significant  to  me:  teachers  who  have  influenced  my  academic  and  athletic  careers, 
peers  from  whom  I  have  learned  much,  and  buddies  whom  I  consider  more  valuable  than  confidant(e)s. 
David  Burnett  VIVE  LE  FOOTBALL!  Be  wary.  Stuart,  there  are  lots  of  bad  girls  out  there,  so  make  sure 
you  have  the  right  bait  when  you  fish.  Kasim.  it's  really  been  a  pleasure  being  your  fellow-tenor-  saxophone 
player  for  the  past  four  years:  keep  up  that  interest  we  share.  Bogutz  kun.  I'm  really  going  to  miss  the  many 
hours  we  spent  on  Playstation  2TM.  especially  Final  Fantasy  X.  -Thanks  be  to  Yevon."  Anne-Mane,  my 
years  at  SMUS  would've  been  completely  different  without  you:  be  sure  always  to  keep  your  optimistic  attitude  and  be  happy- 
Dear  Mahsol.  thanks  for  all  those  e-mail  messages  that  helped  and  encouraged  me:  1  wish  you  ^^f  7f,^'"9 J^ll.  N'^^f ,  ^^J;, 
Nicola  not  Neec)  my  final  year  at  SMUS  became  so  much  more  interesting  having  known  you:  I  II  still  lememlDer  to  call  you 

I   that  so  you'll  know  it's  me  when  I  look  you  up.  Meara  chian,  you  know  you'll  always  be  my  girl  chum:  good  luck  with  rowing 

wherever  you  end  up.  For  the  rest  of  you.  my  thanks  are  ineffable.  Godspeed.

,  Mutt,  and  I'm  proud  of  it.  I  came 
)ntario  with  the. 
U-1 3  team  and  what  do  I  get?  Benched  so  that  someone  from  our  team  can  score  on  us.  But  I  got  even 
this  year  getting  injured  5  minutes  in.  Oops.  If  I  learnt  anything  it's  that  expectations  will  be  crushed,  so 
sometimes  you  just  have  to  run  with  it.  When  I  got  to  Senior  School  the  story  finally  got  interesting.  There 
I  I  was  again  at  the  bottom  of  the  pack  just  waiting  for  my  turn  and  now  I'm  here.  Graduating.  All  that  build 
up  for  this?  I'm  still  the  same  little  grade  9  ,ust  waiting  for  my  turn,  just  a  little  taller.  Oh  well.  I'm  sure  I'll  remember  a  'ew  things, 
maybe  To  the  Grad  class,  I  don't  want  to  mention  any  names  or  expenences  to  remember  me  by.  because  if  you  need  a  small 
paragraph  to  summarize  the  awe  that  is  Pete,  then  clearly  I  haven't  been  loud  enough.  You've  all  made  the  tuTie  something 
to  remember,  good  or  bad.  Karma  will  prevail.  Coach  Cordle.  thanks  for  making  it  If^^^'f/^;:''^^!^^^^^^^

.  72  km  worth  of  2400  runs  later.  I  leave  the  school  knowing  that  these  past  five  years  will  forever  be  among

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

It  was  the  best  of  times,  it  was  the  worst  of  times,  it  was  the  age  of  wisdom,  it  was  the  age  of  foolishness." 
It  was  the  age  of  da  man.  I  came  to  Saint  Michaels  University  School  in  grade  8  skeptical  and  nervous,  Until 
Now.  I  am  leaving  Saint  Michaels  University  School  skeptical  and  nervous  (realistically  I'm  leaving  as  a 
vibrant  young  man).  Memorable  moments  at  SMUS:  Grade  8.  can't  remember;  Grade  9.  can't  remember: 
Grade  10.  Messenger  III:  OByrnes  boating  adventure:  "The  sun  is  shining  over  the  rainbow.":  influences 
and  teachings  of  Sean  Bell:  rugby  with  the  boys:  Ramone:  Dowhyfest:  walking  up  and  down  Beach  Drive. 
Grade  1 1 .  rugby:  Dowhyfest:  Sean's  basement:  Shawnigan  (breaking  my  face  /  Lyall's  diving  ability):  car  rally:  going  over 
■  to  Lyall's  house  every  day  with  Brent  and  Liz:  Ryan  Sollis.  Grade  1 2.  video  games  with  Pyke:  Mt.  Washington  with  Sean  and 
O'Byrne.  I  would  like  to  thank  everyone  who  has  helped  me  on  my  journey  through  school.  You  have  influenced  me  in  ways 
you  can't  imagine.  My  parents  taught  and  guided  me  through  all  my  hardships  and  achievements:  my  friends  have  always 
been  there  through  thick  and  thin:  finally,  the  teachers  who  have  expanded  my  curiosity  and  taught  me  a  bit  on  the  way.  Grad

No  how  are  YOU  doing?  Strangely  enough,  high  school  for  me  resembled  a  Black  Sabbath  song  (yes.  with 
Ozzy  and  no  not  the  upbeat  happy  kind:  Sabbath  Bloody  Sabbath  fits  the  description  pretty  well).  To  the 
people  who  talked  me  into  mentioning  them;  whafs  up  Mallory?  You're  the  greatest.  Ali  and  Liz;  you  re  all 
cool  and  thanks  for  being  so  nice  to  me:  it's  appreciated.  To  Jo  and  Fran,  if  you  ever  see  a  skinny  Insh  kid

here  for  me  to  give  you  enough  credit.  Nick  Black,  youve  always  been  a  great  guy  to  me.  so  thanks.  If 

anyone  wants  to  find  me  I'll  be  at  4510  Satinleaf  Lane.  Sarasota,  Fl.  fishing  at  the  lake  in  Uncle  Johns  backyard.  I  m  going

I  have  attended  SMUS  for  the  past  six  years  and  have  had  good  times,  not  because  of  the  stimulating 
learning  environment,  but  because  of  good  fnends.  Without  you  guys  the  last  few  years  would  have 
seemed  more  like  a  phson  sentence  than  high  school.  There  are  too  many  people  to  mention,  so  all  I  have 
to  say  is  you  know  who  you  are,  and  I  wish  you  good  luck.  -If  you  can  1  convince  'em,  confuse  em.  -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-  and  best  wishes  to  you  next  year!  To  all  the  Harvey  boys  -  good  times,  good  times.  Geoff-what  am  I  going  to  do  without 
you  as  my  mac  n'  cheese  lunch  date?  Aleksa- 1  wonder  how  people  would  react  if  I  told  them  about  the  time. .  .oops'  Andrea- 
Starbucks  is  still  awaiting  a  visit  from  us;  those  fantasy  caramel-fudge  bars  are  calling  our  names.  To  those  of  you  I  have 
not  mentioned.  I  will  miss  you.  Finally,  good  luck  to  all  the  grads.  We  are  done'  -Shoot  for  the  moon.  Even  if  you  miss.  you  II

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


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

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

Well  kids  some  would  say  the  trips  been  long,  and  others  that  it  is  just  the  beginning.  Me,  well  I  m  finding, 
it  really  hard  to  sum  up  all  my  feelings  from  the  past  five  years  in  250  words.  Its  hard  to  believe  that 
something  I've  been  planning  since  grade  9  has  now  become  so  hard  to  do.  Ive  had  so  many  great 
memories  and  made  so  many  amazing  fnends  that  its  impossible  to  list  them  all:  I  guess  that  s  what  the 
supplement  is  for.  I'd  like  to  thank  my  mom  for  her  undying  support  and  all  those  teachers  who  believed 
in  me  when  no  one  else  would.  Its  been  one  heck  of  a  ride,  and  I  cant  say  that  Im  glad  it  s  done,   I  m

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

was  only  an  experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In  my  five  years  at  SMUS  I  have  had  many  great  experiences  and  met  many  inspiring  people.  The  people 
I  have  met  both  teachers,  coaches  and  fnends  have  impacted  me  in  more  ways  than  one  can  imagine.  Mr 
Hyde-lay  .and  Mr.  K,  your  teachings  in  sport  have  been  invaluable  to  me  on  and  off  the  field  and  I  will  carry 
them  with  me  a  long  way.    My  memories  and  experiences  at  SMU  include;  out  trips,  rugby  tours  ^nd 
provincials  boot  and  alumni  games  versus  Oak  Bay  and  of  course  one  very  entertaining  rock  concert  put

"SMUS  has  been  such  an  experience  for  me.  In  every  moment  of  eveiy  memon/  ot  my  time  at  siviua  mere  is  a  wan  i  m  i. 

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

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

me  forever  and  I  will  continue  to  exist  in  the  world  as  a  worthy  person,  always  acting  with  passion  and  com  ' "  " 

striving  for  excellence,  to  be  excellent,  and  to  radiate  excellent-ness."  -Anonymous  SMUS  lifesiyie  panicipam 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Time  just  keeps  flowing  and  now  we  are  graduating  from  high  school.  When  I  came  here  last  year.  I  was  naive 
and  helpless.  I  went  through  lots  of  troubles.  Then  I  realized  that  I  have  to  be  responsible  and  stand  up  for 
myself.  Now  as  I  look  back.  I  find  high  school  experience  worthy.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  friends  for  friendship 
and  encouragement.  Moreover,  it  was  a  life  lesson.  I  will  remember:  84  Pride!!  Juoh,  Kenji,  Lewis,  Jin,

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

-  you're  right.  I  am  competitive,  but  is  that  so  wrong?!  Pork  E.- 1  swear  this'!!  be  the  last  time,  it's  just  that 
there's  a  word  limit.  Anna.  Alex.  Aspartame,  and  the  YB  people  -  I'm  so  sorry  about  yearbook.  I  never  wanted  things  to  end 
the  way  it  did.  Herman.  Stu.  Campbell.  Nicola.  Meara.  Kasim.  Javier,  you  guys  are  the  best,  it  was  fun  knowing  you  all.  Jennie 

-  will  we  every  stop  laughing  at  one  another?  Lavinia  &  Ann  -  thanks  for  trying  to  help  me  with  YB.  I  owe  you  two  a  lot.  To

here  1997  from  grade  8  to  now.  I  met  a  lot  of  people  whom  I'll  never  forget  in  my  life.  Especially.  Yuko  H.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

going  to  lift  with  us?)  PJ-our  double  is  money.  Tuck:  I'll  be  driving  you  around  soon  and  take  it  easy  you  juice  monkey,  B- 

ya  goof  remember  the  bet  if  we  win  the  BCs  AL-kudos  for  taking  up  my  "weakness  is  not  tolerated"  training  I'll  join  you 

sometime,  Bkand  IHL-I  will  convert  in  the  Kozone  one  day!  To  all  the  rugby  boys-"Do  your  job"  Thanks  to  mum  and  dad  for 

sending  me  here  and  standing  behind  me  and  to  everyone  else  who  has  put  up  with  my  misohief  and  bad  humour.  The  bus

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

been  a  wonderful  roommate  throughout  the  year,  thanks.  Finally,  Grads  of  2002-  wherever  you  may  go,  remember  never  to

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

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

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

soon  (which  really  sucks!)  and  then  graduation.  Id  like  to  thank  those  who  have  made  my  every  moment 

at  SMUS  precious  and  unforgettable.  Mr.  Leggatt.  you're  one  of  the  nicest  and  undoubtedly  the  hottest 

teachers  out  there!  Mr.  Gardiner,  you're  the  best  Biology  teacher  and  also  the  best  sniper  (you  know  what 

I  mean).  I've  really  learned  a  lot  from  you  in  the  past  two  years.  Yong-Seok:  I  really  appreciate  your  help 

in  every  aspect  of  my  life,  whether  it  was  academic  or  something  else  (you  know),  1  was  so  lucky  to  meet  — 

a  guy  like  you  in  such  a  small  place  like  Victoria,  AkI:  It  was  really  fun  to  have  you  around.  You  showed  me  what  the  boarding 

life  IS  like  and  how  nice  it  is  (really?).  By  the  way.  you  gotta  admit  that  I  am  still  superior  In  W11!  Also  thanks  to  the  other 

wonderful  guys  (Rach,  Ken,  Juwan,  Couvie.  Trevor... can't  name  them  all!)  I  will  never  forget  you  guys!  Finally,  my  biggest 

gratitude  goes  to  my  family.  My  sister  YunOJI  sorry  for  calling  you  "dooeji"  and  stretching  your  cheeks  all  the  time.  You  are 

an  awesome  sister!  Mom  and  Dad.  thank  you  so  much  for  all  you've  done  for  me.  You  are  the  greatest!  I  will  always  remember 

your  advice  and  most  importantly,  your  love  that  nobody  can  ever  imitate!  113

Writing  this,  I  have  realized  I  made  many  more  good  friends  than  I  ever  knew.  We've  all  had  crazy  nights 
and  inside  jokes  we  would  like  to  forget.  I  know  I'm  forgetting  people  and  blatantly  leaving  some  out  because 
I  never  really  liked  them.  To  the  rest  I  do  want  to  mention:  Knstie-  lets  not  go  back  to  cattle  point!  Smose- 
the  bus!  Keldi-subway!  Conal-DWA!  WEKA!  Hobo!  Hugh,  aka  Hugh  1 .  my  Aryan  fnend  -  two  ladies.  Hojiis- 
since  gr.6you've  been  there-thanks.  Mike-lCQandfireworks;  III  remember  it  all,  Mark-you  had  some  good 

times.  Anna-Sweet!  Dude!  Sweet!  Dude!  Grace,  my  companion  in  shortness,  will  you  teach  me  to  speak 

British?  Daniela-my  locker  buddy,  and  fellow  academic  council  member.  Alex,  we  could've  been  better  friends.  Ashley-

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

I  can't  believe  that  it  has  been  four  years  at  SMUS;  it  seems  like  I  just  came  here  yesterday.  Most 
importantly,  I  would  like  to  thank  Mom  and  Dad,  for  giving  me  unconditional  canng  and  support:  you  are  ■ 
like  the  guide  of  my  life  who  leads  me  and  always  encourages  me  to  achieve  my  goal.  Lala,  there  are  lots. 
of  ups  and  downs  in  my  life,  but  we  have  been  through  a  lot  together.  Thanks  for  the  eternal  love  you  give 
me.  Ann,  you  are  the  most  understanding  fnend  and  the  best  listener.  Without  you,  I  don't  think  I  could  have 
survived  in  this  school.  I  will  always  be  there  tor  you  even  if  we  are  apart:  stnve  for  what  you  really  want 
to  do  Alice  you  are  the  youngest  Grandma  that  I  have  ever  met.  1  will  always  remember  that  when  I  cry.  you  will  cry  with 
me  for  no  reason.  Angel,  I  will  always  remember  your  special  giggling.  Kelvin,  sorry  for  the  prank  I  pulled  on  you  in  grade 
10  but  1  do  like  you  as  a  friend.  Martin,  I  believe  that  you  will  be  successful  in  your  piano  career.  Ross,  knowing  you  is  the 
luckiest  thing  in  my  life.  No  matter  what  happens  in  the  future,  I  will  devote  myself  to  you  as  the  promise  that  I  have  made. 
Lastly  many  thanks  to:  Wilson.  Peter.  Jeff.  Clarence,  Michael,  John  and  Jennie.  Best  of  luck  to  the  Grade  Class  of  2002!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nurrachman  Liu  1995-2002 


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

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

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

I  can  still  remember  the  first  day  when  I  came,  crying  on  my  dad's  shoulder.  I  had  never  experienced  boarding 
life  until  two  years  ago.  It  was  really  hard  for  me  because  I  had  to  leave  my  family  and  friends  and  explore 
■  this  new  place  alone.  These  two  years  have  been  unforgettable,  with  the  love  from  my  teachers  and  friends. 
■Thanks  to  Mrs.  Skinner,  who  has  always  been  nice  to  me.  Math  and  music  do  go  together!  Mr.  Gardiner,  you 
helped  me  find  fun  in  Bio.  Ms.  Johnston,  thanks  for  pushing  me  up  to  ChemH.  Also,  many  thanks  to  Mr. 
Weinerman,  Mr.  Leggatt.  Ms.  Hawes,  Ms.  MacDonald.  Ms.  Stanford.  Ms.  Ding  and  Ms.  Tobacco.  I  mustn't 
forget  to  mention  my  dearest  roommate.  Kathryn.  I  really  had  fun  rooming  with  you.  I  enjoyed  the  late  night  chats  witn  you, 
though  sometimes  I  didn't  get  any  response  from  you  since  you'd  already  fallen  asleep.  I  will  never  forget  the  time  when  we 
studied  for  the  Bio  provincial  together.  Those  stupid  jokes  (about  your  bf  and  the  supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)  made  me 
remember  the  diagrams.  You're  my  best  roommate:  my  best  friend  in  SMUS.  I'll  miss  you  very  much,  ang  eh,  wa  ga  li  gong

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

left  me  with  unforgettable  memories  I'll  always  treasure.

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

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

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

2000-2002 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For  me  St.  Michaels  was  like  a  bad  thp.  There  were  a  few  parts  I  really  got  off  on.  but  for  the  most  of  it  I 
just  truly  wanted  it  to  end.  My  friends,  I  will  never  forget  you  and  some  of  the  crazy  stuff  you  did  J.W.  M.G.

It's  not  about  the  place,  it's  about  the  people.  Not  what  you  leave  behind  but  what  you  take  with  you  and

Here  it  is.  Life  as  I  know  it  is  about  to  change  dramatically.  For  the  past  thirteen  years  I  have  lived  one  school 

week  at  a  time,  and  now  it's  all  about  to  change.  Thank  you  everyone  who  made  it  all  possible:  my  family, 

friends,  teachers,  peers,  and  God.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cameron,  you  have  been  like  a  second  set  of  parents  to 

me:  thank  you  for  being  you  and  always  being  supportive.  To  my  classmates  and  friends,  we  had  some 

good  times,  but  not  nearly  enough.  The  Bolton  Prefects:  Shorty  T  (Chan),  Speed,  Jamie,  Adam,  and  my 

roommate  in  gr.  1 1  Mike  (who?),  thanks  guys.  To  the  bailers  in  gr.  1 1 :  Tuks,  Chris  K,  and  Matt,  keep  working 

hard.  JD  (automatic)  and  Chris  (snipe):  my  roommate  in  gr.  1 2,  keep  shooting.  Hansi-man  (ya  bum)  thanks 

for  everything:  keep  in  touch.  Dev.  I  wouldn't  have  survived  without  you,  thanks  for  everything.  Some  memories  to  leave  with: 

late  night  movies,  bball  after  prep,  watching  sports  and  Simpsons,  not  doing  homework,  playing  guitar,  MJ  shrine,  and  just 

everything.  To  all  my  fnends.  see  you  on  the  flipside.  -Sam  "Can  I  rise  above  everything  that's  in  my  way . .  .when  push  comes

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

2001-2002 


I  would  first  like  to  thank  my  parents  and  grandparents  for  making  this  incredible  opportunity  for  me 
possible.  As  I  embarked  on  this  life  changing  adventure.  I  was  not  sure  what  to  expect,  but  with  a  warm 
welcome  from  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cameron  and  the  rest  of  the  Bolton  House.  I  immediately  started  to  enjoy 
.  myself  and  to  feel  at  home.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  mentor.  Father  Edward,  for  his  continual  guidance  and 
support.  Jamie  Ford  for  always  being  there  for  me  and  for  making  Victoria  much  more  entertaining,  and 
Walter  for  a  truly  appreciated  fnendship.  I  would  also  like  to  offer  my  thanks  and  praise  to  my  house  parents, 
the  Camerons.  my  room  mate  John  Speed,  my  good  friends  Jamie  and  Trevor,  and  a  paean  to  Mr.  Common  for  everything. 
Finally  I  extend  my  greatest  appreciation  to  my  grandmother  for  making  this  possible  and  to  my  dear  mother  for  her  unstinting 
support  and  her  truly  unbounded  love.  It  has  been  one  of  my  greatest  honors  to  attend  St.  Michaels,  and  I  will  carry  the 
school  s  pride  for  the  rest  of  my  life.  "It's  no  use  trying  to  be  clever  -  we  are  all  clever  here:  just  try  to  be  kind  -  a  little  kind."-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A  young,  shy  catholic  school  boy  arrived  at  SMUS  in  grade  8  with  hair  only  on  his  head.  The  girls  with  short 

skirts  and  braces  attacked  Ryan  leaving  him  with  a  sense  of  fashion  and  a  girlfriend.  The  boys  (or  saints) 

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

friendship,  and  a  lot  of  fun.  Sean;  my  partner  in  crime,  showed  me  the  other  side  of  life,  what  memories!  Sollis; 

new-found  love.  He  saw  a  witch  once.  Tweak  it.  Jawl-Bros;  before  Hoes,  you  never  listened.  Pyke;  my 

dedicated  workout  budy,  you  tried  Mike.  Kipp-Clubbers  for  Life.  Woody,  Nick,  Couvie,  Colson,  Robby;  Keep 

it  real.  Kristen,  high-school  sweetheart,  what  a  horrible  boyfriend  I  was.  Sorry!  UWC.  the  boat  journey.  Mt.

RYRADAC.  dowhy-fest.  Oak-Bay  tea  party.  I  missed  a  lot  because  of  hockey  (RED  HOT  SALSA)  but  would  not  trade  my  hockey 

memories  (Provincial  champs.  2nd  in  Western  Canada).  I  missed  rugby  and  I  missed  basketball  (wow  was  I  good).  But  a  man

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I  will  remember  for  the  rest  of  my  lite.  However,  a  few  things  stand  out  in  my  life  at  SMUS.  In  chronological 
order:  Playing  soccer  in  grade  4,  Breaking  Brad's  arm.  Presents  from  Glen.  Highlight  reel  soccer  with 
Woody,  Snowboarding  with  Karlie.  Colts  Rugby.   Rugby  Tour  and  the  following  second  bout  of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"To  my  array  of  friends  and  acquaintances:  it's  good  to  see  you  again  at  SMU,  after  returning  from  ESQ  (long

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

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

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

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

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

Well  it  has  been  three  years  and  I  have  had  a  blast  at  SMUS.  Out  of  all  the  schools  I  have  gone  to.  SMUS 
is  by  far  my  favourite;  But  I  don't  think  I  could  have  made  it  without  the  support  from  family,  teachers  and  • 
fhends.  My  love  and  thanks  go  out  to  Elsie  and  Mahsol,  my  geology  study  buddies,  for  all  the  times  you 
guys  stood  by  me.  Khstie:  I  will  never  forget  searching  for  your  tennis  balls  in  Windsor  Park,  a  true 
adventure  if  you  ask  me.  Devon:  I'm  so  glad  we  got  to  know  each  other  better.  Thanks  for  being  my 
geography  partner  in  grade  11.1  hope  I  returned  all  your  pens.  To  Rebecca,  Megan,  Anne-Mane  and 

^  ju  forthe  wonderful  memohes.  And  Ashley,  you  have  made  my  years  atSMUS  complete.  Your  ongoing  love, 

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

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

the  beginning.  Live  it  all!  ■

So  many  years,  such  little  space.  Since  starting  SMUS  way  back  in  Grade  4, 1  ve  made  a  lot  of  good  triends, 

and  had  some  excellent  times  (Arr.  me  mateys).  Naturally,  there  have  been  bad  times  too,  but  I  prefer  not 

to  remember  those.  I  want  to  thank  all  my  friends,  and  hope  we  stay  that  way.  Hugh:  Try  not  to  be  TOO 

Aryan,  says  I:  Mike:  I  don't  think  III  EVER  like  D.T,  but  you  never  know;  Kasim:  Just  missed  me  -  again!; 

PJ:  III  drag  my  Mini  vs.  your  KCar  one  day:  Ashlin:  1'!!  come  around  to  jazz  eventually:  Meara:  I  am  NOT 

RUSSELL  (or  am  I?):  Nicola:  Waiiuwe!:  Javier:  good  times  (too  many  to  list!);  Rebecca:  Weka!  Dwa! 

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

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

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

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

Rye  Well,  that's  it.  Good  luck  all.  and  keep  in  touch.

Ryan  Sollis 


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

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

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

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

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


John  Speed 


1998-2002 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

paved  my  path  to  life  long  success  and  happiness.

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

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

It  must've  been  good,  if  I  can  look  back  and  realize  its  been  worth  it.  My  time  at  SMU  has  been  enjoyable 

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

I  will  never  forget  the  memorable  times  in  Argentina  (feme  &  iguana,  the  twins.  Alta  Gracia  at  the  Bossi's,

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

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

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


1998-2002 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Matthew  Woodland  1996-2002 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

celebrating  the  "Year  of  the  Pony".  With  a  theme  in  place,  the

many  tournaments  including:   Friendship  Cup. 

Bridgman  Cup,  ISA,  Islands,  andBC's.  The  Islands  this 

year  were  held  in  Victoria,  and  the  team  finished  in  2'"' 

,  place,  after  knocking  offGNS  and  SMS.  The  team  then 

/traveled  to  Burnaby,  and  competed  in  the  Provincial  AA 
Championships.  After  a  gritty  and  inspiring  performance, 
the  team  finished  a  respectable  5'''  place  in  the  province. 
Key  performers  for  the  team  this  year  included  co-captains 
Liz  Munroe  and  Andrea  Thompson,  Florencia  Bonet,  and

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

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

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

\    tournament,  the  teamfmishedfirst  in  a  very  strong  pool.  Once  again,  the  girls  went 

■      \  down  in  the  finals,  losing  another  veiy  close  third  game  to  Highlands.  At  the  city 

41  tournament,  however,  the  team  came  out  on  top  over  rival  Lambrick  Park. 

^  j  finishing  first  in  AA.  Going  into  the  Islands  ranked  third,  hopes  we^"  hi  oh  fnr  n 

'  Provincial  berth.  A  hard-earned  third  place  finish  at  the  Islands  i 

secure  a  place  at  the  Provincials,  though  it  did  give  the  girls  a  chance  to  make  it  via 

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

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

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

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

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

"Our  team  is  red  hot..."  both  on  the  court  and  ^J>^^yerall.  the  Jr.  Girls

narrowly  missed  City  Championships  in  a  challenge  match  against  Claremont.  I         * 

Although  we  didn  't  make  City  Finals,  we  had  some  outstanding  league  and  I 
tournament  play,  particularly  at  the  ISAs,  and  in  a  sweet  victory  against  top-  \ 
seated  Arbutus.  Much  of  the  team 's  success  was  due  to  Ms.  MacDonald  and  Ms.  \ 
Hoffer,  whose  hysterical  laughter  and  wonderful  coaching  were  inspiring  and 
uplifting.  Tremendous  improvements  were  made  by  each  individual,  and  by  the  team 
as  a  whole.

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

also  the  final  ISA  game  at  Brentwood.  J.  Kim  was  outstanding  in  open  field  play;  his  tremendous  work  rate  in.%trumental  m  several  of  th 
-Many  others  also  did  their  bit,  especially  in  two  e.xhibition  victories  against  Esquinmit,  and  it  was  shame  the  season  finished  just  as  the  _      _ 
f^- actually  starting  to  win.  Congratulations  to  those  who  joined  the  Grade  10  squad  for  the  Island  Tournament.  Thanks  to  Mr.  Shergoldand

A  lack  of  playing  numbers,  jusl^^^ty-four,  and  a 
lack  of  real  size  and  power,  did  not  stop*lheGrade  1 0 
rugby  team  from  achieving  many  of  its  goa!^ 
sixteen  games.  The  team  played  in  both  ISA  and  Victc 

school  matches,  resulting  in  a  record  of  9      . 

wins  and  7  losses.  Finishing  with  a  re-   / 
spectable  6- 1  record  and  in  2nd  place  in  ■ 
the  city  competition.  The  team  qualified  I 
for  the  Island  tournament,  and  claimed  a    ^ 
well-deserved  4th  place  finish.  The  season 
should  not  be  judged  however  by  the  record    ^ 
of  wins  and  losses,  but  by  the  personal  K

As  school  began  in  SeptemberTm^  anticipated  by  many  that  this  would  be  a  very  successful 
season  for  the  Senior  Boys  Soccer  Team^^H^the  exception  of  a  few  players,  the  team  list 
looked  very  similar  to  that  which  won  the  Islaiw^^t^^r  Championship  two  years  earlier.    ^^^^ 
The  position  of  goalkeeper  was  one,  which  took  timet^Si^with  rookie,  Andrew  Bailey  ^r 
assuming  this  role.  He  showed  considerable  improvemen^f^      '  ^   ' 

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

The  2002  Track 
and  Field  team 

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In  2002  the  golf  team  enjoyed  its  best  season  ever.  Beginning  with 
1^  the  Lower  Island  Championship,  in  which  the  team  finished  third, 

we  went  on  to  a  third  place  finish  in  the  Police  To  urn  anient,  and  then 
/  to  our  first  ever  appearance  in  the  Island  Championship,  where  we 
finished  7th.  The  season  was  topped  off  in  June  when  the  team  won 
its  first  ever  I.S.A.  Golf  Championship.  The  final  event  of  the  season  was  the  annual  Staff-Student  Match  in  which  the  l.S.A. 
Champions  were  only  able  to  earn  a  3-3  draw  with  the  staff.  Perhaps  their  luck  will  be  better  nex  year.  To  Trevor  Chan  and  Ryan 
O  'Byrne  who  are  graduating  I  would  like  to  say  well  done  and  good  luck  in  the  fiiturf^Mor  the  returnins  playem.  Taylor  Willtm,

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

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

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

6-5  Loss  vs.  Eric  Hamber  i^ 

9-2  Win  vs.  Kelowna  ^: 

9-2  Win  vs.  Crawford  Bay  ^v 

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

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

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

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

This  year's  tennis  season  was  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful in  recent  memory.  Tennis  stirred  an  unprecedented 
amount  of  interest  this  year,  and  as  a  result  we  were  fortunate 
enough  to  have  a  very  large  and  competitive  team  consisting 
of  players  of  all  different  abilities  from  grades  9  through  12. 
Under  the  leadership  of  coach  Dave  Kirstine,  the  team  en- 
joyed an  unbeatetf  Sfe'tU'tf/K  awitf  continued  this  streak 
Vancouver  Island  Championships,  ultimately  dej, 
Shawnigan  Lake  in  the  finals  to  win  the  Island  title  for  the j. 
time  in  many  years.  Ranked  T"  in  the  province  heading  i>,.,, 
provincials,  it  was  understandable  that  the  team  had  high 
expectations  for  itself.  Unfortunately,  after  easily  passing 
through  to  the  finals,  the  team  met  its 
match — Selkirk — and  lost  6-5  in  a  heart- 
breaking defeat.  Nonetheless,  a  second 
place  finish  remains  a  noteworthy  ac- 
~  complishment.  Brad  Jawl  and  Andrew 

=r--rr-    r VoH  dcr  Westhuizen.   and  Chelsea 

,  Combest-Friedman     and     Andrea 

Bosenberg  proved  formidable  doubles 
Trevor  Chan 's  and  Liberty 
Williams'  singles  expertise  was  sinii- 
\  larly  integral.  Thanks  in  particular  are 

'  s  due  to  coach  Dave  for  his  leadership,  to 

\  the  graduating  players  for  their  commit- 

ment over  the  years,  and  to  the  younger 
players  for  their  continual  enthusiasm 
..  .  J    and  support  of  the  programme.

ffi  SOCCER ' 

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

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

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

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

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

on  full  time.  At  the  BC  Tournament,  the  .^quad  opened  with  a  solid  34-0  victory  over  Rutland  and  inicked  up  wuh  a  hard-fought  36-24  quarterfinal  win  over  St.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


-  J

H^*- 


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

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

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

THE  GREAT 


Rain  or  shine  (with  lots  of  enthusiasm)  the 

Senior  School  students  set  out  on  their  grade 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

kayaking,  backpacking  and  snow-camping  among  ihe  many 

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

SMUS.  Thanks  to  everyone  for  your  support  and  enthusiasm  over 

the  year!

Chapel  Reflections 


'■'^1 


The  Chapel 

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

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

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

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

services,  serving  with  dignity,  rever- 

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

Hypothalamus 

When  the  world  was 

still  drying  off,  raw 

as  an  eggshell,  trees  blurred  the  skyline 

everything  smelled  wet. 

A  scratching  in  the  back  of  God's 
mind:  i  'm  here. 

Eve  pulled  out  I 

of  Adam,  smoothed  her  haefi, 

tasted  the  dust  on  her  hands  and  listened: 

i  remember  a  smile,  i  was  charred 
by  touch.  ."" 

The  stars  were  as  bright 

as  a  million  pair  of  hungry  eyes. 

cla  ws  everywhere, 

soft  breathing  in  the  night, 

a  moan  from  the  canopy: 


i  am  so  hungry.  This  bone  and 
sinew  is  not  enough. 

We  were  torn 

from  clay  and  pressed  to  the  likeness 
resembling  something,  taught  to  form 
wordsT-tree,  hand,  fire. 


Then  abandoned  in  a  world 


behind  every  kiss.

Monday  to  Sunday 

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

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

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

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

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

So  goes  life  as  we  refine  the  definition 
Again  and  again.  So  goes  death  as  we 
Define  the  moments  of  weakness. 

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

Standing  Out  in  the  Crowd 

nior  citizens  talk  to  me, 

ding  they  should. 
As  if  I  am  their  lost  grandchild, 
the  one  they  forgot  at  the  supermarket 
fifteen  years  ago. 
I  never  know  what  they  want. 
Speaking  of  nonsense  to  me. 
Unknown, 

Especially  in  the  mall  elevator  going  down. 
I  like  to  help,  with  human  kind 
Do  my  part. 

Though  listening  to  anonymous  perfumed  prunes. 
Does  not  interest  me. 
I  say  my  hello,  ' 
Nod  my  head, 
Smile  and  stroll  away. 
Just  another  day  of  standing  out  in  the  crowd.

helping  out  in  the  Admissions  office  in  a  numbei  of  w  ays     Our  student  tour  guides  introduce 
prospective  families  to  the  school  on  a  diiily  ba^is.    Then  eager  and  honest  approach  and 
commitment  to  SMUS  make  them  wonderful  ambassadors  of  the  school.  Our  Discover  SMUS

tour  guides  and  Discover  SMUS  hosts  for  helping  make  our  visitors  feel  welcome  and 
comfortable.   We  have  a  number  of  students  who  drop  in  at  the  admissions  office  on  a 
..regular  basis  to  help  put  togetlier  information  packages  and  assist  in  other  administrative 
tasks    They  are  a  friendly  group  of  helpers  who  learn  new  tasks  quickly  and  aie  always 
a  pleasure  to  have  around  the  office!   A  number  of  other  students  helped  ni  other  various 
projects  undertaken  by  the  admissions  office  -  photos  and  design,  powerpoint  presenta- 
tions, etc.  Their  work  is  so  appreciated! !  Finally,  we  were  thrilled  with  the  response  from 
the  number  of  sUidents  who  helped  out  at  the  SMUS  second  annual  participation  in  the 
Victoria  Festival  of  Trees  event.  This  year's  theme  of  "Youth  and  Peace"  proved  to  be  a 
wonderful  choice  and  the  students  and  staff  who  participated  and  those  in  the  community  who 
viewed  the  trees  at  the  Empress  Hotel  enjoyed  the  event!  This  community  service  programme 
contributed  $1500  and  many  gifts  and  toys  to  the  BC  Children's  Hospital.  Great  work!  Thanks 
to  all  the  students  who  support  the  Admissions  office  in  so  many  ways  throughout  the  year!

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

Art  and  Squash  Clubs 


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

are  more  sociable  on  the  court.  Some  even  enjoy  practicing  squash  on  their  own  time.  This  year,

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

t    iuid  the  Senior  debate  teams  as  a  crop  of  new  faces  has  verbally 

t  jousted  their  w  ay  through  a  great  variety  of  tournaments  ranging 

E  as  far  afield  as  Nanaimo  and  Vancouver.  Our  favorite,  of  course, 

%:  is  the  pizza  debates  which  we  hold  against  private  schools  closer 

C  to  home  ever\'  year.  There  is  nothing  like  the  taste  of  a 

t  vegetarian  slice  to  cool  the  palette  after  some  heated  quibbling 

I    over  a  tough  resolution!  With  each  tournament,  we  gain 

kLpenence  and  gallop  our  way  closer  to  the  winners'  circle, 
ext  year.  GNS.  watch  out  for  the  wittv'  heckles  of  SMUS! 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mr.  Tongue 

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

Toronto  Rughy  team.  The  team  also  visited  many 

AD  in  all.  it  was  a  successful  trip,  much  fun  had  with  m 

unfailme  dedication! 


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

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

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

In  our  free  time  the  team  spent  many  tiring  hours 
perfecting  tans  (excluding  a  certain  Ms.  McVie)  and 
socializing,  at  the  expense  of  Mr.  Hunt's  blood  pressure! 
Many  a  night  was  spent  at  "Harbour  Lights"  and  within 
our  own  complex  at  the  Rosstrevor.  socializing  with  a

any  stories  to  tell  when  we  returned.  Big  "thank  you""  to  Mr.  Hunt  for  his

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Grace  Pellew-Harvey  &  Jennie  Tsai,  Heads  of  Winslow  House

Mrs.  Humphries'  long  and  distinguished  career 

at  SMUS  has  been  marked  by  her  participation 

in  the  direction  of  many  school  musicals,  her 

dedicated  instruction  of  choir  class  after  choir 

class,  and  her  tireless  encouragement  of  her 

students  to  reach  their  full  potential.  The  school 

and  its  population  have  benefitted  tremendously 

from  her  musical  prowess  and  unwavering 

dedication,  and  she  will  be  sorely  missed  as  she 

tours  Europe  over  the  next  year.  Many  thanks 

for  the  wonderful  experiences  and  all  the  best  in 

retirement!

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