F. Mackie (Captain) — Has the makings of a very useful captain. Kept the side well together by his keenness. Useful bowler on occasions, but inclined to be short. A much improved though rather stiff bat. Very keen and good field. J. I. Bird (Vice-Captain) — A useful all round cricketer. Good slow left- hand bowler, who should remember that length is essential, and should not get worried if his bowling is hit. Started the season as though he would make many runs, but for no apparent reason went off. Very good field. G. W. Reed — A very good field indeed. With regard to his batting, he is at present too stiff and nervous. J. S. Humphreys — On his day he is a very difficult bowler to play, but he is inclined to be very erratic. He looks as though he should make runs, but is too careless. Fielding much improved. D. Dawson — A very painstaking and stolid bat with few shots, he has, however, played some very useful innings. A very keen field. D. Newton — Has the makings of a very useful right-hand bowler, but he too must remember that length is more than half the battle. His batting has improved and he played one or two useful innings, but he must remember to be more careful and to treat every ball with respect. Good pair of hands. J. C. Campbell — A very stiff and unorthodox bat, who knew how to hit a ball on the leg, which several members of the side would have done well to copy. Very good field. J. G. Niven — Has the temperament for a very useful first wicket bat, but was far too inclined to be lackadaisical. His fielding has improved. J. P. Torland — Kept wicket on the whole very satisfactorily, must not get upset if things don ' t go quite right, as this has a tendency to increase his faults. Must take more trouble with his batting. G. F. Mackie — Should become a useful fast bowler, who is beginning to realize that length and direction are the things that count. Clumsy field. Very stiff and nervous bat. J. Maybee — Has all the attributes of a eood bat, but will never succeed until he learns to watch the ball more carefully. An improved field.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine HOUSE NOTES RIPLEY ' S. We sincerely regret the departure of Mackie I, who was the Head of the House last year. He has been succeeded by his brother. Tryon has also been appointed a School Prefect. We were, after a period of lean years, very successful in the athletic field. Last Easter term, in spite of the loss of Covernton, we managed to draw with Groves ' for the Rugger cup. After the game, Oakes, Niven I, Niven II, Frith and Layland were awarded their House Colours. We have four members of the House playing in the School fifteen, and as we have practically the whole of the Second Fifteen three-quarter line, it augurs well for the future. In the Summer term we drew a bye in both the cricket and the rowing. In the former we defeated Lake ' s and retained the cup. After the match, Guthrie and Tryon were awarded their House Colours. We were very fortunate in having five members of the First eleven among us. We should like to con- gratulate Newton and Humphreys on being awarded their School Colours. In the rowing, our House Four managed to defeat the Groves ' crew. Our second crew rowed a dead heat with Groves ' . Due mostly to the efforts of Mackie I in the seniors, Mackie II in the middle, and Matthews II in the juniors, we won the Sports Cup. We congratulate Humphreys, Burns, Niven I, Mackie I, and Niven II on winning their weights in boxing. Mackie II won the Good Loser ' s Cup. We also congratulate Newton and Smith I on being awarded their House Colours after the 2nd XV match against Brentwood. If we have no other claim to fame we can boast the best carver in the School. LAKE ' S. We congratulate J. M. Cross on succeeding Homer-Dixon as Head of the House, R. L. Lake on being appointed a School Prefect, and D. A. Dawson on receiving his School Cricket Colours last term and on being chosen Captain of Football for this season. Last year R. E. Homer-Dixon, A. Wilson and R. P. Mainguy all left us; Wilson now being at Stanford University and Mainguy at the Wireless School in Vancouver. Last year was a rather unhappy year for us as far as sports were concerned, for our last cup left our table when our shell crew, consisting of Homer-Dixon, Dawson, Wilson and Lake, were defeated in the initial round of the house rowing race last summer. In Rugby, Groves ' again proved superior to us and defeated us 32-6. House rugby colours were awarded to V. G. Motherwell, I. Davis, T. A. Wilson, and F. L. Crofton. In cricket we were again pitted against Groves ' , but this time we avenged ourselves on them by obtaining a one-run victory in spite of the fact that we only had one member of the first eleven playing for us; this victory was due mainly to the bowling of Homer- Dixon and Motherwell. The latter received his House cricket colours. We were 25
