Night of the Notables

SIR Edmund Hillary (right, 2.k.a. Jessica Sashan) caught the attention cf Pauline Johnson students Sydney
Peck (centre) and Alex Sashan during the West Vancouver school’s Night of the Notables evening last
week. Jessica and other students chose a notable figure from history, researched their life and dressed as

that person. Other students then tried to guess their identities.

High school
‘fun-raiser’
honors

Ted Pelly

BY LAYNE CHRISTENSEN

‘SENTINEL Secondary
has organized a tribute to
Ted Pelly that the popu-
lar teacher would have
_ surely enjoyed.

Pelly died unexpectedly
last July from a viral infec-
tion. He was 48.

His former students, col-
leagues and friends have
planned a dinner and dance
for Saturday, May 25. The

_event is to take place at the
school, 1250 Chartwell Dr.,
West Vancouver.

Event organizers are
‘billing it-as a “fun-raiser,”
- with ptenty of food and non-

stop dancing. music, just as
Pelly would have wanted it,
said Sentinel teacher Rika
Luttin.

Central to the event will

be a buffet with Baron of
Beef, ham, caesar and potato
salads and assorted deserts.

“Ted loved food. He was
known for always eating,”
said Luttin of her friend. “He
was wonderful to have
around because there were
never any leftovers.”

Pelly had a tremendous.

appetite for life in general,
she added. “He was one of
these genuine people who
made you feel good about
yourself.”

Pelly spent his entire
teaching career, 22 years, at
Sentinel, where he taught
business education and
physical education. He was
also an accomplished athlete
who dedicated many hours
coaching the school’s foot-
ball, basketball, swimming,
track and tennis teams.

Pelly also coached the
Mt. Seymour Royals soccer
team.

The May 25 celebration
is an all-ages affair that
everyone is welcome to
attend, said Luttin.

Live music will be pro-
vided by the Sentinel
Rhythm and Blues Band and
Fire in the Belly, a band

made up of West Van busi-
nessmen who perform rock
‘n' roll classics and original
tunes.

A group of Sentinel
teachers have formed a third
band, as-yet-unnamed, that
is also expected to perform.

The dress is “casually
comfortable” because Pelly
preferred shorts and T-shirts.
“That was his style,” said
Luttin.
