Dedication The editors dedicate this bi-annual to the outgoing headmaster, in grateful acknowledgement of his contribution to Shawnigan Lake School; and to the incoming headmaster, that he know that it is not the beginning, but the continuing of the same until it be thoroughly finished, which yieldeth the true glory. L.P. MACLACHLAN, B. Arch., M.A. Joined the Staff Assistant Headmaster Acting Headmaster 5th. Headmaster September, 1961 September, 1964 -April, 1967 April, 1967 -June, 1968 October, 1968 -June, 1972 4 w A ' ' : ■ » ' - 0» 1972 has been a year of change for Shawnigan. At the end of the previous academic year Mr. MacLachlan had indicated to the Board that he wished to resign from his post as Headmaster. It was then too late for an appointment to be made for the year 1971 - 72 and so Mr. MacLachlan remained in the chair while the Board of Governors began their search for a new Headmaster. Then in March 1972 Mr. MacLachlan was given leave by the Board and the Rev. VV.H.H. McClelland was appointed Acting Headmaster. This position lie filled until Mr. MacLachlan returned at the end of June in time for Speech Day. In 1961 Pat MacLachlan was asked by Ned Larsen, Headmaster at the time, to leave his architectural job in Rhodesia and join the staff of Shawnigan Lake School. He accepted, and thus renewed the friendship begun nearly ten years earlier when both were graduate students at Oxford, Pat as a Rhodes Scholar and Ned on an I.O.D.E. Scholarship. It was soon clear by the way Pat plunged deeply into the life at the school that Ned Larsen knew his man. Many will now have forgotten that he taught geography in addition to mathematics in the first year; he also started a most successful italic script writing class lor those boys whose writing was completely illegible. In addition he became the Librarian for two years. Outside the Common Room he took part in all the musicals, either in a minor role or in the chorus, played in the band as well as being most active coaching rugby, cricket, hockey, tennis or soccer as the season demanded, perhaps not too surprising for an Oxford ' blue ' , and Scottish Rugby International. Furthermore his architectural background and training frequently was put to the test, nowhere more successfully than in the conversion of the Big School into what we now know as a most attractive Library; while numerous time-tables, notices and Headmaster ' s Honours Lists attest to his skill as a draughtsman. It was these traits of dedication, hard work, versatility and cheerful willingness that prompted his appointment as Assistant Headmaster in 1964 and this proved a happy and productive partnership until Ned Larsen ' s resignation in April 1967. Pat then became Acting Headmaster, a position he held until the end of the following academic year when in October 1968, he was appointed Headmaster. There is no doubt that his time as headmaster coincided with what has been perhaps the most difficult five years experienced by secondary schools in the history of education. A period of rapid change affecting the moral fibre of our youth with the drug scene, student rebellions, educational innovations (many born of panic), changes in dress, deportment, manners and morals, not to mention the rising cost oi education itself. No school in North America was unaffected by this. Many were forced to close their doors. Pat soon realised that Shawnigan must modify its position if it were to keep on attracting the kind of boys we needed, and to this end he invited an educational group to
