SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THINGS WE WANT TO KNOW WHETHER girls are any better at telling the time than boys. AND IF SO whether this has anything to do with the direction taken by most boats on Sunday afternoons. WHAT would be the result of a beauty competition be- tween Shawnigan Lake School and Strathcona Girls ' School. AND WHETHER Captain Levien would be allowed to enter. IF MARTIN I. has found out yet whether Pontius Pilate was a disease. IF ANYBODY wants a good anchor for a boat. AND WHETHER the School ' bus wouldn ' t answer the purpose very well. WHETHER some of the Old Boys didn ' t envy the pre- fect ' s studies when they came over. WHEN a Greyhound Racing Club is to be started in B.C. AND IF Crisp would not make a very good Secretary, after his hurdling episode in the Paige. WHO WINS the prize (if any) for falling over the most things during the year. AND WHETHER honours would not be fairly evenly divided between Johnston and a certain member of the staff. HOW MANY of the School, after consuming more than half a dozen cream purls, will agree that the singular of 6 is sick. WHO SHUT Winch into one of the changing room lock- ers just before prayers one evening. AND WHETHER the thought in Winch ' s mind of miss- ing prayers wasn ' t slight as compared with the fear of missing supper. IF MR. KNIGHT really enjoys his early morning bathe in the lake in this weather. OR IS IT THAT he finds more privacy in this form of ablution than in the Senior wash-room just after 9 p.m. IF MRS.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Song of the Gym. Was you asking me my experience In the fire of ' 26? Why without me, well, just ask anyone, Yes, they would ' ave be en in a fix. I ' d ' ardly been properly finished, The windows weren ' t all of them done, When the School burnt down in a night, sir, And I was left all alone. They first of all used me for sortin ' The things they saved from the blaze. The place was a regular shambles, We was working for days and days. And while all this was a ' appening, The boys they ' ad to be fed ; So we served them their meals right ' ere, sir, Good work! sir, was that you said? When the boys came back after Christmas, AVhy Bert ' ad been rushing about; He ' d altered the whole of me landscape, And fair turned me inside out. He ' d dining and store rooms and class rooms, And a carpenter ' s workshop as well ; Was the noise very bad? did you say, sir? Just ask Mr. Skrimshire, he ' ll tell. And now I ' m all beautifully stuccoed, And they ' re using me quite a lot ; But it ' s good to feel you ' ve been useful, So long as you ain ' t forgot. is
