SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE For the winners, Lake was outstanding : rowing well himself, he imparted an excellent rhythm to his crew, and used his head during the race. The rest of the crew worked hard, improving greatly in uniformity and neatness of wrist work during practice. For the losers, Cautley rowed a gallant race. He will be a good stroke when he can learn to control his swing-forward better ; but he drove his crew with plenty of life all the way. Matthews was a tower of strength at three ; he has rowed consistently well all through the term. As a whole, Copeman ' s were not quite so polished a crew as Lake ' s, but they raced with great determination. HP HE finals of the Water Sports took place on July 1st. The - result was a tie for the House Cup between Ripley ' s and Copeman ' s.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Yes, yes ; that ' s right, that ' s where I was working. The instructor continued, Out in India . . . I went away leaving them to exchange their wondrous tales in peace. — D. F. R. INTER-HOUSE FOURS, 1932 THE first round of the inter-house fours was rowed on June 16th at 4:30 p.m. Conditions were good : smooth water and a light following wind. In the first heat Copeman ' s beat Ripley ' s by two lengths in 2 mins., 51 sees. In the second heat Lake ' s beat Groves ' by three lengths in 2 mins., 48 sees. Both the losing crews were handicapped by the absence of their strokes during part of practice, but, quite apart from this, they were not of the same calibre as the winners. Covernton shewed promise in Ripley ' s boat, though he is a slow learner ; while Adams was outstanding for Groves ' . Final Heat Wednesday, June 22nd Lake ' s beat Copeman ' s in the final by three-quarters of a length in the fast time of 2 mins., 41 3-5 sees. Both crews got away very fast at the start, Copeman ' s rowed 11, 20 and 38 and Lake ' s a stroke a minute slower. At the end of the first minute the crews appeared to be dead level. Lake ' s were swinging the steadier of the two, and, taking every advantage of the strong following wind, they began to go away a little after the first minute, rowing 34 to Copeman ' s 35. Cautley kept his crew going well, spurt- ing strongly in the last three-quarters of a minute, but Lake ' s were good enough to beat off his challenge, crossing the line three-quarters of a length to the good. 2S

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Squash - Badminton GREATER enthusiasm than usual has been shown both in ■ Squash and in Badminton, especially among the younger boys in the School, due largely to the interest Mr. Twite — an Oxford Badminton Blue — has taken in these games. In the Badminton Championships held at Duncan early in the year Bradford, Fox, Riddell and Graburn played. Rid- dell was the winner of the Boys ' Singles, with Bradford run- ner-up. In the Final of the School Badminton Doubles, Fox and Bradford beat Mallam and Doull. The Singles Tourna- ment unfortunately could not be concluded. In a Doubles Tournament arranged on All Saints Day, November 1st, the Senior Event was won by Dawson and Seaton, and the Junior by Hayward and Torland ii. On the same day a Singles Tournament was played at Squash, Bradford winning the Senior and Smith i the Junior. Being Somewhat of an Account of My Sentimental Journey The Beginning No sooner had the train commenced to pull out of Van- couver than I made my way rapidly to the open observation car, to take one last, longing look at the city I knew so well. Of course I got a cinder in my eye. But then, one takes this as a matter of course. No train trip is ever complete with- out such items as cinders and dust and oranges. Later in the day my real worries began. Through some asinine mis- calculation on my part I found myself with X dollars : X plus 1 meals and the porter to tip. The prices on the menus are the only indication that I have seen in some time, to the effect that there is no depression. I ate, not only wisely, but also hardly at all. 30
