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

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Celebrities IF PREFECTORIAL dignity and tact you seek to find, If mental and athletic skill you also have in mind, Let me introduce some characters, both sterling and refined, In whom you ' ll find those virtues most effectively combined. Here, first, we have a potentate before whom juniors quake, Though he may be known as Jelly, he is seldom seen to shake, And if he sometimes wobbles, yet he never makes a break, He ' s a most efficient head man, is our senior prefect, Lake. Insatiate devourer of puddings, meats and sauce, A centre-half ubiquitous, who shoots with awful force, Brighter than broom on Beacon Hill, gayer than glowing gorse, Where shall we find the equal of our flaming-crested Horse. Though some may say the footer field needs quantities more grass on Our Captain seems to find it just the place to kick and pass on, He ' s not so very brainy but his smile helps any class on, And the darling of Strathcona is our blue-eyed Emma Larsen. If dignified sagacity you happen to admire, If to skill at nursery cannons or at squash you should aspire, Or if you merely like to sit and knit before the fire, Let me recommend the company of Piddington (Maria). And now our sergeant-major ' s touch appears upon the scene, He staggers the tough working gangs on whom he vents his spleen ; But in his private study where he cooks the porcine bean, He ' s as cheery as he ' s noisy, is young Douglas Huntley Green. A mighty hunter last we see, who never deigns to rest ; Be it footer, squash or cricket he displays an equal zest, And if you search the Islands through, North, South, or East, or West, I doubt if you ' ll find anyone who ' s better than our Best.
