Final: Ripley ' s beat Copeman ' s 2 5-19. CHARACTERS G. F. Dyson (Captain) — In every way captained the side well, keeping them alert and keen and changed his bowling with sound judgment. His own bowling was of the greatest assistance to the side. His batting improved, though still rather weak on the off, as he did not get his left foot across quickly enough. A very good field in any position. D. E. Bradford (Vice-Captain) — Assisted his captain in every way. As a captain himself rather lacked decision. Very much improved bat, who, by his steadiness, helped to instill confidence into the whole side. A very good field, though his throwing was inclined to be wild. D. F. Robertson — A useful swing bowler when in the mood; must learn to keep on trying when wickets are not coming his way. Batting disappoint- ing. Much improved field. J. I. Bird — With more confidence should develop into a sound left-hand bat. Useful change bowler who must not forget that a slow bowler must pitch the ball well up. Very good field in any position. J. F. Lake — The Iron Man of the side developed into a stolid bat, who, on various occasions prevented a collapse by his sterling defence. Saved many runs at mid off by his great determination. 20

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine R. F. Pearce — Started the season quite well but did not become as useful a bat as had been hoped. Quite a useful slow bowler at times. Much better field. J. F. Mackie — His batting is much too cramped for his physique, but he should improve. Has the makings of a useful medium-paced bowler when he learns more control. Fair field. G. S. Covernton — As a wicket-keeper he had more courage than skill. He must try not to get upset if he makes a mistake. A batsman of the agri- cultural variety. W. D. Kennedy — A very disappointing bat, who always looked as though he should make runs, but never seemed to come off. A slightly improved field, who must make an effort to go for the ball whatever speed it is travelling. R. P. Mainguy — Has the making of a useful bat, but is at present too slow. Greatly improved his fielding mainly by his own determined efforts. M. C. Adams — A hitter but rather lacking in discrimination. Quite an energetic field. THE HART HOUSE QUARTETTE On Saturday, November 2 5 th, at the invitation of Mr. C. W. Lonsdale, the Hart House Quartette visited Shawnigan Lake School, and later kindly gave a concert at Strathcona Lodge which was attended by both schools. Mr. de Kresz gave a short explanation of each number before it was played, which added considerably to the audience ' s enjoyment of the pieces. The first item en the programme was Mozart ' s Quartette in B flat major. Of the four move- ments the one that seemed to have the widest appeal was the Hunting quar- tette with its splendid impression of horns and galloping horses. The next number on the programme was Hadyn ' s Theme and Variations, more widely known as a favourite hymn tune. Mr. de Kresz gave a very interesting ac- count of how this piece came to be composed and explained to the audience wherein lay the particular beauty and skill of the composition. The number was beautifully rendered with each instrument playing the theme in turn, while the others supplied the variations, and in spite of the fact that the air was played over five times in succession there was no sense of monotony at all. The final item was Schubert ' s Quartette in D minor, or the Death and the Maiden Quartette. The players ' interpretation of this work was so stirring that the applause at its close forced them to come back and give an encore. The number chosen for the encore was Haydn ' s Serenade, a delightfully soothing little air which was played very softly by the first violin while the other instru- ments supplied a pizzicato harmony. This piece was pleasantly lulling after the wilder movements of the previous number, and left the audience delighted with a high class entertainment of classical music. 21
