SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE On Sunday, May 19, Holy Baptism was administered to the five children of Mr. and Mrs. E. Boniface. A pair of handsome brass altar vases has been given in memory of Commander E. A. E. Nixon, R. C. N. They were made to match the beautiful old English candlesticks given by Lady Lake last year. A gift of several copies of The Pub- lic School Hymn Book, one which is used by many of the Public Schools of England, was made anonymously by a musician who is greatly interested in the welfare of the School. The Ladies ' Guild has very kindly undertaken the clean- ing and general care of the Chapel and furnishings again this year. We hope that this will not be such an arduous task as it was last year when the building of the organ made cleaning almost impossible.

SHAWNICAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Chapel Notes THE Lord Bishop of the Diocese held a confirmation in the Chapel on Sunday, February 17. There were 33 candi- dates : 22 boys and 11 girls from Strathcona School. He also visited the School when he officiated at the marriage of Com- mander V. Alleyne, R. N. (retired) to Miss Betty Wace, daughter of Dr. Wace, the School Medical Officer. A good deal of interest has been taken in the building of the organ by Mr. F. Chandos Dix of New Westminster, who was extremely kind in explaining the process to the many enquirers. The finest material and workmanship have been employed in the construction and the tone is rich and varied. The organ chamber is over the vestry and has a frontage of gilt speaking pipes which ornament the south wall of the Chancel. On May 12, the Rev. J. S. A. Bastin dedicated the organ at the morning service, and in the afternoon Mr. W. H. Ed- munds of New Westminster gave an organ recital. His pro- gramme was : 1 . Finlandia Sibelius 2.
