JOHN (Rent-a-Duck) SMITH, Warden at Serpentine Fen for the past two
years has tendered his resignation effective the end of November.

Most ducks fly south for the winter... the smart ones overwinter in

bird santuaries like the Fen. But Rent-a-Duck John is flying over

the mountains to Saskatchewan where ducks are ducks... geese are geese...
and the winters are white. John is going back to Prince Albert and
will be taking a position with the Provincial Department of Natural
Resources. Best of luck John, and mind you don't freeze your wattles.

DOUGLAS COLLEGE INTER OF FICE MEMO

 

TO: MAD HATTER OATE: 4.11.74

FROM: Chris Johnson

RE: Soccer Team

On Saturday 26th October the Douglas College Soccer team travelled to Nanaimo
to play Malaspina. Due to a cut back in budgets the crossing was rather damp,
with Greg Merro at the oars and a disabled Ray Smith acting as a makeshift
mast.

The 74 hour crossing did little to enhance our chances over this well drilled
professional like team. However playing our best game of the season we went
down to a 4 - O defeat, by a team who are at the moment top of the league.
Players who put up a meritable performance were Ralph Stevens, Glenn Whittingten,
and our 4 spectators. Needless to say these people were excused the task of
rowing home, although Linda Hall, one of our largest spectators did much to

blow us across the Georgia Strait (sorry Linda).

The team were met by the usual loved ones, and finally assembled at the Royal
Towers for a post game rap. The team is now firmly entrenched in the last
place in the Totem League, but as the actress said to the bishop "you can
always improve"!
