| LIFER'S
DINNER
The lifers are a small group of students that began their career at Brentwood in 1995. By enrolling in grade 8 and "surviving" five continuous years at the school, these students were hosted at a special dinner -- a Brentwood tradition -- at the Quamichan Inn on Friday evening. Their hosts were the Brentwood staff who have been part of their lives in this period. Many reminiscences, stories of joy, apprehension, success, and tears, flowed freely throughout the evening. Each lifer was the subject of a short speech by a sponsoring teacher, and was the recipient of a small momento from the school. The photograph at the right was taken on the grounds of the Quamichan Inn, and can be compared with the photograph below taken from the Brentonian Yearbook of 1995-96. |

BIOLOGY 11 FIELD TRIP
One
of the Biology 11 classes used the Hardie (Brentwood's Coast Guard Auxiliary
zodiac) for a trip to the San Juan Islands last week. The trip was to
enhance the current topic of study -- vertebrates -- with the group hoping
to observe one of the killer whale pods that inhabit the area. In this they
were unsuccessful, but had the pleasure of seeing numerous dolphins and
other smaller marine life. |

There were also competitions for closest to the pin and long drive. For the most part the weather stayed clear for the afternoon, with only the occasional rain shower. The wind freshened toward the end of the round, making for an interesting initiation to playing the 18th hole after the addition of the driving range net. The final standing were: |
