A Sentinel Secondary
student, Kevin Colbow, 17,
586 St. Andrews Place, has
won a $9,000 Gordon M.
Shrum Scholarship for
Simon Fraser University.
The entrance scholarship,
one of 10 awarded annually,
is awarded to students of
exceptional academic
promise entering SFU from
high school and is $1,000 for
each of nine semesters at-
tended. Over 90 applicants
applied for the scholarship,
Nominations for which are
made by high = school
principals.

Doug Player, Sentinel
principal, described Kevin
as “a super kid. It couldn't
have happened to anyone
better. He’s the kind of
student that makes a school
go. He’s totally involved in
the school and community
and manages time extremely
effectively.”

Kevin has achieved an “A”
standing in every course he
has taken at high school and
has been at the top of the
honour roll every year. In
the 1981 Commonwealth
Essay Competition Kevin
finished among the top ten in
the Commonwealth with his
essay on “Politics in In-
ternational Sports.” He is
keenly interested in science,
which he is going on to study
at SFU. Last year his
working model of a solar
pump display won first prize
at the school's science fair,
as a result of which he and
his partner were asked to
give a presentation at
Hollyburn school to visiting
science teachers, then later
exhibited the model at a
conference of B.C. science
teachers.

Added to his academic
background is an extensive
involvement io athietics,
When in grade cight he
received the George
McGowan Memorial Trophy

trophies. He plays on the
school’s senior basketball
team of which he is captain.
In swimming he has earned
eight trophies, 22 medals
and over 300 ribbons.

KEVIN COLBOW

He's been an_ assistant
instructor at a sports camp
for elementary school
children for three years and
is assistant coach for the
North Van Summer Swim
Club as well as acting as a
certified referee for juvenile
soccer. “I get a great deal of
enjoyment working with
younger children and seeing
them improve.”

After receiving a science
degree at SFU Kevin hopes
to follow it up with a
graduate degree and a
possible career in research
and development but “I
know athletics will always be
a large part of my hfe and I
will probably devote my
spare time to coaching
younger chidren.”
