February 1980, The committee received endorsement of the proposal by the Rotary Club of West Vancouver. March 1980: - Rotary Club appointed an Interim Executive Board to draft a Constitution, outline the statement of purpose and apply for Provincial Charter of the West Vancouver Historical Society. Rotarians appointed to this Interim executive committee were; President - Eugene Scott, Bank Mgr. (Ret) Treasurer - Albert Staple, Bank Mgr. Secretary - Bernard Holt, Principal, WV High School. Directors - Cyril Howard, Merchant, Hugh Johnston, Merchandise Mgr. April 1980: - Meetings with Mayor Derrick Humphreys and Municipal Mgr. Terry Lester to develop a suitable working arrangement, which would assist the new Municipal Archivist and expand the collection of the archive. The committee was encouraged to assess interest within the community. An old-timers word-of-mouth membership campaign was begun backed up with a series of meetings and slide shows at the W.V. Recreation Center. The Committee selected about seventy old photographs to be enlarged and mounted for display at Community Day to promote the proposed society and solicit candidates for membership. 1981 An encouraging number of members had joined the newly formed Society during 1980 and in June a Rotary Club booth at Community Day featured another collection of historic photos. The last surviving West Vancouver Municipal Ferry, HOLEYBURN, was chartered for a Memory Cruise to Ambleside, Dundarave and points west. Word spread quickly and Ex-West Van people treated the event as a reunion and came from far and wide to join in the fun. Passengers, once aboard, were entertained by a brass band, a piper, and Rupert Harrison as the tour guide. They were also amused by the Whistle salutes exchanged with Engineer Frank Smith of the passing Royal Hudson Steam Locomotive at Dundarave. A substantial number of the participants signed on as members of the new society before they got off the boat. The membership was now approaching one hundred and it was time for the Rotary interim committee to begin to step aside and let the new society set its own course. 1982 The first Annual General Meeting was held in Hollyburn School on Jan. 25, 1982 at which time the society members elected an independent board of directors. Two members of the Rotary interim committee, Bernard Holt and Hugh Johnston were elected to continue on the new board. Rupert Harrison was appointed Honorary Archivist of the society. At this time the Rotary Club committed the sum of Three thousand dollars for the purchase of office equipment and supplies. In future Rotary would offer two members for election to the board each year to assure its continued support of the Society. By the mid 1980s the membership reached the 450 mark and in ensuing years has fluctuated between 400 and 500 members up to the present day. Girl Caddies Get in “Boys’ Hair” at Capilano Golf Course “Girl caddies! Huh!” That, without the fine expression of disgust, with which the speaker said it, is what the boy caddies think of their female colleagues at the Capilano Golf Course. To the adolescent minds of the boys where everything is completely black or white, Capilano’s honour of having the only girl caddies in the Vancouver district is a very doubtful one. In referring to the girls, the boys use an expression that would imply they had not yet discovered Lifebuoy.
