SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THE weather was kind to us in the Lent term. While we missed the skating of the previous two years, we were able to play football fairly continuously. The Pancake Greeze was held on February 17th, Shrove Tuesday, the winner being Ames from Form VI. A Memorial Service for R. Mellin, Head of the School from 1919-1921, who died suddenly at his home, was held in the Chapel on Sunday, March 22nd. The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Kootenay preached at this service. On May 18th, Miss H. Paterson was married to Mr. R. G. Humphreys in the Chapel. In June we had a visit from Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador to Japan. Various improvements and additions to the grounds and playing fields have been made during the year. A new field above the senior ground has been levelled and sown. An innovation during the Summer term was the opening of a Tuck Shop during the School Cricket Matches. Rumour hath it that the popularity of cricket is on the up-grade. We should like to offer our congratulations to Lord Col- ville on his recent marriage. The event was fittingly cele- brated at the School by an additional half holiday to the Empire Day week-end. Empire Day fell on a Sunday this year. Week-end leave was extended by the half-holiday for Lord Colville ' s wedding from Friday afternoon till Monday even ing. The boys remaining at the School had a really good time. They were taken to a Picture Show in Duncan, had a picnic at Parksville, and were kindly invited by Miss Gildea to a dance at Strathcona.
