Shawnigan Lake School Magazine devised when we sacked the fair city of Priam, whereon the youths did exercise with a certain Deinos; yea, and even the black forge of Hawksphaistos himself did he show me. Such was my visit, O king, to the n oble Shawniganians. But the night is far spent. Arise, let us to bed. MURALS THE two murals which are reproduced here were painted in the summer holidays on the walls at the top of the staircase in the Class Room Block by Julius E. L. Griffith, an Old Boy who has been studying art for some years. The modern subject suggests that the two boys looking out into the modern world should fit themselves to use such implements and resources as Science has placed at the disposal of man. At the present time humanity is floundering in an economic morass due chiefly to the fact that we do not understand how to use the machinery at our disposal for the common good. It is suggestive that the boys who pass through this School may feel the need of doing some- thing definite as citizens and make a real effort to do their share of setting things right rather than with the idea merely of matriculating and settling down to a smug life of money-making. The central group of scientists gives man command of the whole world. Poverty and plenty are represented in the slums and factories. Communication, transportation, fishing, logging, occu- pations typical of this country, are introduced. The manual worker is large, showing the importance that he plays in the running of the world. The war- ships and aeroplanes show that we still live under the menace of war. The Classical painting represents the Trojan war and some of the adven- tures of Ulysses. The idea behind this picture is that the classics are not coldly ideal but very human and, like the Bible, of great use in helping us to live our lives today. Without the classics there could be no correct valuation of our own age. The central group is of warriors and h eralds or referees with the leaders by the tent to the right. The gods looking on are there to show the Homeric idea of man being the plaything of the gods and the sport of destiny. It also conveys the Greek view of animism and of the deities always close at hand. The figure at the extreme right is the poet through whom the story comes down to us. Circe and the swine, the Sirens, Aeolus and some of the thousand ships fill up the right half of the wall. On the left are Cyclops, Perseidon, the lone ship going back to Hades, Ulysses slaying the wooers and his reunion with Penelope. The colouring is extremely attractive and satisfying. In a general way perhaps the pictures show a lack of finish. The design is original and clever in its arrangement and shows excellent imagination. The technique is perhaps a trifle youthful but this the artist will undoubtedly overcome with greater experience. 15

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « FOOTBALL » Shawnigan Lake School vs. Brentwood — Won 50-0 The School started its list of fixtures with a match against Brentwood, played on the School ground, on November 3rd. Continuous and heavy rain made the surface slippery and the ball difficult to hold. Shawnigan was the heavier and much the faster team of the two, and their outsides combined well. Tries were scored at regular intervals during the first half, usually the result of good passing movements. Harris ran particularly strongly, selling the dummy on several occasions, whilst Whittle played a good game at scrum half. Had Brentwood gone more often for the man with the ball instead of trying to intercept the pass they might well have kept the score lower. At half time the score was 31-0. In the second half Brentwood, mainly owing to the efforts of the forwards, put up a considerably stronger resistance and managed to have almost as much of the game as the School. Their marking and tackling was also better. In spite of this the School scored five more tries, two very soon after the resump- tion of play and two shortly before the final whistle. Those who scored for Shawnigan were Rogers (3) , Reed, Harris, Dawson and Campbell (2) , Tryon ( 1 ) . Dawson ' s place kicking was good, as he converted six tries, some of them not by any means from easy angles. Motherwell also converted one. Shawnigan Lake School: Mackie; Rogers, Seaton, Harris, Tryon; Dawson, Reed, Whittle; Humphreys, Woodward, Tupper i, Reynolds, Wilson i, Campbell, Motherwell. Shawnigan Lake School vs. University School — Won 17-10 A very evenly contested game between the two schools, played under per- fect conditions on November 10th, resulted in a win for Shawnigan by one goal and four tries to two goals. The School forwards beat the University scrum for possession of the ball on the majority of occasions, so that the outsides had plenty of opportunities and there were many good passing move- ments, but the tackling of the University outsides was excellent and made scoring difficult. The University outsides on the comparatively few occasions on which they got the ball from their forwards showed what a dangerous attacking force they were, outstanding among them being Berry, who in addi- tion to plenty of football ability has a great turn of speed. Dawson played a good game for Shawnigan both in attack and defence, his kicking on several occasions being invaluable. The forwards worked well together, Woodward, Humphreys and Campbell often being prominent. Quite early in the game Dawson went very close with a drop at goal and shortly after Mackie rounded off a good three-quarter movement to score the first try. He also scored the second try after fifteen minutes play after a similar attack. University School then began to attack and it was not until after a dropout following an unsuccessful attempt at a drop goal that Shawnigan were again 16
