Highlights from the SMUS Review
School News
T he SMUS Review publishes weekly on our website (blogs.smus.bc.ca/review) and covers school news from all three campuses. The
following highlights were taken from stories published from March to June, 2009. You can read more about these stories by going to our
home page and selecting “SMUS Review” from the News and Calendar menu.

who spent their holiday volunteering

campus with contemporary and traditional
Korean culture for one of the school
year’s many culture weeks. The day and
boarding students showcased their culture
by bringing in a professional group to
perform samul nori, traditional percussion
music, and by performing themselves,
singing and dancing to contemporary pop
songs as well as demonstrating historical

Alums Retire from School Life
School News
Wishing our retiring teachers a fond farewell is always bittersweet, but this year’s tributes
are particularly poignant as we say good-bye to two long-serving teachers and a board
governor who got their start at SMUS as students.
Tony Keble ’62
Born in Sri Lanka, Tony came to University School as a student when
his father, Tom Keble, began teaching English at the school in 1956.
Former classmates remember Tony as a fleet-footed winger on the highly
successful 1st XV rugby team (1961-62) and as a senior track champion,
always competing against fellow winger David Chapman ’62 for the win.
Tony began teaching at St. Michael’s School prior to the amalgamation,
making him the last active St. Michael’s teacher and the longest-serving
alumni-faculty member: with the exception of a three-year break, he has
been with SMUS since 1972. Tony will be remembered by colleagues
for his concern and consternation regarding the student dress code; and
on this the matter he was always a fine role model: a picture of sartorial
elegance.
While at the school he has been an influential force. With a master’s
degree in Spanish from New York University, Tony introduced the language
to the SMUS curriculum. He was part of the driving force behind the
introduction of soccer to the school and for many years was an enthusiastic
coach. But, above all, he is known for his style of teaching Spanish to
his students, which includes the fascinating cultural elements of both
Spain and Mexico. Many of his former students have fond memories of
participating in Tony’s epic trips to Mexico.
“Tony has a passion for life. He loves to entertain, eat, prepare amazing curries.
He is the consummate host and an extraordinary raconteur who would have been
legendary in an oral culture. Nothing is ordinary to Tony. He can describe
a cardboard box and make it sound like a treasure chest.” – Peter Gardiner
John McIntyre ’66
During his five years as a student at University School, John McIntyre’s
incredible facility for trivia became well-known. A day student at
University School, John went on to get a degree in American, British and
military history from the University of Victoria, followed by a master’s
degree in American history from the University of Oregon.
He began his teaching career in 1973 at the newly amalgamated St.
Michaels University School. John will always be remembered for his
dedication to school activities, his passion for American history and the
hours he spent on the playing field. He coached the 3rd and 4th XV
rugby teams with Grenfell Featherstone ’67 throughout the 1980s, when
the school dominated the Independent Schools Association circuit. He
8 • School Ties - Fall 2009
has also coached the girls soccer teams and the golf team.
His faculty colleagues will miss him most when they next take on the
student team in the annual staff/student Reach for the Top challenge. In
his tribute to John at this year’s retirement celebration, Pete MacLeod
presented “Reach for the Top – the John McIntyre version.”

Tom Rigos ’61
by Rob Wilson
Tom originally enrolled at University School as a Grade 8 boarder from
Tacoma, Washington, at the same time another retiree, Tony Keble ’62,
arrived as a fledgling Grade 7 student.
Tom Rigos enjoyed a highly successful career at University School, and
in his Grade 12 year, he was the dominant person of his class: Head Prefect
and winner of the 1961 Ker Cup, the school’s most prestigious award,
which is based on scholarship, athletics, leadership and character – qualities
that Tom possessed in abundance.
Tom attended the University of Washington in Seattle and obtained
his bachelor’s degree in mechanical and industrial engineering, and later
his MBA. His business career was in medical technology and he was
the Director of Engineering Operations for Medtronic Physio-Control
in Redmond, Washington. Tom retired in 2005 as Vice President of
Medtronic’s Emergency Response Systems.
In his 10 years on the school’s Board of Governors, Tom has given stellar
service on many committees as well as being both vice chair and secretary;
he has also made an impressive contribution in his financial support of
the school, donating generously to the School House renovation and the
school’s endowment. In 1999, he initiated a fund in the name of one of his
old teachers at University School, and more recently has directed his contributions to a Rigos Family Fund, which he established
with his brother, Jim Rigos ’60, who has also given unstinting support to the school for many years.
School Ties - Fall 2009 • 9
“I have known Tom Rigos since 1958, and it is one of the real pleasures of the
teaching profession to see young people develop and do well at school, and then to
see them flourish and prosper in later years. Tom Rigos has done just that – and
it is further satisfying to note his loyalty and continuing contributions toward the
betterment of St. Michaels University School.” – Rob WilsonHighlights from the Athletics Week in Review
