SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE H. R. Barclay. A weird bat, does not seem to be able to judge a ball on its merits. A keen but clumsy field. G. R. H. Cooke. Quite a good bat, must try and learn to put more push into his shots. Quite a fair field. C. G. Taylor. A very disappointing bat. Has not come up to his promise of last year, mainly due to carelessness. Rather a lazy field, can field well when he tries. THE Confirmation Service was held in the Chapel on April 6th, and was conducted by the Rt. Rev. the Lord Bishop of Kootenay. The following boys were confirmed: D. C. Doug- las, J. D. Rochfort, D. L. de Bretigny, R. S. Hyndman, C. H. Hyde, W. S. Brooks, J. D. Cantelon, W. P. Barclay, H. C. Norie, G. R. H. Cooke, J. R. Matthews, G. E. B. Housser, H. C. K. Housser, D. A. Ames, J. Piddington, R. F. Pearce, E. M. Neel, D. F. Robertson, G. A. Pownall, G. N. A. Hankey, M. A. Cotton, P. F. Pullen, D. B. Macrae, C. F. Cautley, J. B. Franckum, J. A. Lefurgey, F. I. L. Dyke. There were also fourteen candidates from Strathcona. Sermons have been preached by The Lord Bishop of Koot- enay, The Ven. Archdeacon Laycock, Rev. W. Barton, Rev. N. E.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FIRST XL E. M. Slater (Captain). Has still quite a lot to learn about captaining his side, mainly in watching his field. A good bat, but inclined to have a go before he is set. Has the makings of a good bowler, who uses his brains. Very good field. D. S. Robertson (Vice-captain). Greatly improved all round. A very good bowler on his day, rather inclined to bowl too many loose ones, but is learning to use his head. Did not get going with his batting until the middle of the season, but after that has played some very good innings. A very good field. D. Ames. A really good wicket keeper. Has improved very much in his batting, and has become one of the most aggres- sive bats in the side ; must learn to get that left foot across. E. G. Hunter. His batting has rather fallen off ; he seems to have got too worried about it and rather inclined to think he can ' t get runs, which is fatal. A very good field, who needs to be more accurate with his throwing in. G. F. Dyson. Quite a stylish bat, but is inclined to be too slow with his shots. Must learn to keep his legs out of the way. A very good field, who has fielded brilliantly at times. B. Mackedie. Rather a disappointing bat ; can hit well when he is in the mood ; rather a bad judge of the length of a ball. A very good slip field. G. R. Marshall. Rather a slow, but improved bat. Will make a useful fastish bowler when he learns that length comes first. A good field who throws in well. C. A. Heurtley. Quite a sound bat. who has struck a bad patch of late. Useful slow bowler at times, but if he is to keep to this style of bowling he must remember it is useless un- less of good length. Fair field, does not get down to the ball quickly enough. J. W. Whittall. An improved bat, but rather stiff, will hit the ball much harder when he learns to open his shoulders. An awkward field. 25
