SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Sports IN SPITE of the fact that we were in the throes of build- ing and almost every spare moment was required in order to get things ship-shape for Prize Day, our School Sports were held as usual on June 30th. Considering also the fact that practically no time was available for practising, a very credit able showing was made. Rochfort i. is to be congratulated on winning the Senior Championship Cup. Larsen i., who was the runner-up, gave him a very close fight. In the running for the Junior Sports Cup the struggle was closer still, Lake ii. just winning by one point from Bradford ii. With the introduction of Houses into the School, we were able to make our Relay Race an inter-House affair. Two teams were entered from each House in both Senior and Junior Events, and the result was an exciting finish in both cases. Ripley ' s won the Senior Relay and Lake ' s the Junior. In place of the Water Pillow Fight we tried a new ex- periment : A Cock Fight on a small raft, and, though some of the fights ended rather abruptly, in many cases the issue was in doubt for some time. In the land events, with but two exceptions, the run- ning time, etc., of all events was better than last year. The two exceptions were the distance in the Senior Long Jump and the High Jump. Perhaps the most noticeable of all was Throwing the Cricket Ball, which was won by N. Best. Having a sprained ankle he could not run, but succeeded in throwing 81 yards, beating his brother ' s distance of the year before by five yards. The Junior Events were all of a higher standard. Our own fields are now ready for use and next year we hope to have our Land Sports on our own grounds at the end of the Lent Term. 29

EXAMINATION RESULTS There were many difficulties in the w 1 ay of continuous work in School ; smoke, cold and noise being rampant in the makeshift class room in the Gym during the Lent Term. However, the time was not wasted and even the less ardent workers at Cadboro Bay managed to do some very creditable work. Laboratory Note Books were burnt and all our small stock of apparatus was lost, the new supply not being available in time to do any practical work for the Examination. The results were : A. G. Crisp completed Junior Matriculation. D. R. L. Johnston, T. R. Punnett and T. A. Piddington passed the Junior Matriculation, the average age being 14.8. The only other entrant failed. In Grade IX. eight boys out of ten passed satisfactorily. Bell-Irving has entered Loretto. S. Oldham has entered Clifton. T. Wace has entered H.M.S. Worcester. 28
