SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Editorial IT is perhaps a weakness in an individual to obtrude his own progress upon the notice of his fellow men. It would, how- ever, be ungracious to those responsible if we failed to place on record the achievements of the past year. The numbers of the School have increased to over two hundred. We have built a new Boarding House, a Classroom Block, and a tennis court. We have made an extensive improvement and enlarge- ment to the playing fields. In effect, we are a self-governing community of some two hundred and fifty souls — a small municipality. W r e do not wish to refer again to the outward signs of pro- gression in ourselves. The gradual development of our local requirements must proceed as a matter of course. Though much time and thought have been given to ways and means yet the primary object of our existence has at all times dominated the situation. The future of a large number of boys depends to a great extent upon our efforts : if we can teach them manhood, learning, gentleness, if boys from Shawnigan can go out into the world with qualities which will give them enterprise and judgment, if they will carry with them a natural faculty for fellowship and leadership, we feel that we shall be making a contribution of worth to the struc- ture of Canada.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE School Notes THIS has been a year of great expansion. A classroom block was erected in the summer holidays, and the new House, Copeman ' s, was finished in time to accommodate 80 boys at the beginning of September. The exteriors of both buildings conform to the general design of the Main School ; stucco and half timbering. Generous provision has been made in the Classroom Block for chemistry and physics laboratories and lecture rooms. Our old friend, Mr. Boniface, was in his element in charge of construction. The School now numbers over 200 boys. During the early part of the Lent Term the lake froze over and afforded us some three weeks excellent skating. This is the first time this has happened for seven or eight years. Teams arrived from Cowichan and nearer home, and were all successfully defeated at ice hockey by the School. House matches were hastily arranged in which the Hill House was victorious. The Pancake Greeze was held on February 12, 1929 (Shrove Tuesday), the winner being Lake I from Upper IV. The School owes a great debt of gratitude for the most generous gift of an organ for the Chapel. This was built by Mr. Chandos Dix of New Westminster, and was a source of the greatest interest to everyone in the School during its construction. During the year we were fortunate in having visits and addresses from His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor ; Mr. L. B. Franklin, Headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School; Mr. Ernest Raymond, the well-known author, and Rear Admiral Gordon Campbell, V. C, D.S.O. On Tuesday, April 16th the choir boys went to Victoria to sing the test pieces in the class for Boys ' Choirs. 3
