Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « CRICKET » ALTHOUGH the results of the matches were not very much on the School L credit side, most, however, were quite close. The batting showed im- provement, but there was a lack of confidence in the batsmen themselves, who were inclined to get reckless if runs were not coming quickly enough. There are several bowlers who should be very useful in the future. Newton on the whole bowled well, using his head, and varying his pace to much better ad- vantage. The fielding was of a much higher standard, and in the match against Victoria, it was one of the best exhibitions that has been seen for some seasons. Reed captained the side very creditably, and set a very fine example in the field. The team was on the young side, and w ith that in view there should be considerable promise for the future. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL VS. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL May 18th, 193 5 Shawnigan Lake School beat University School at Shawnigan Lake by ten runs in a low scoring match. For University School, Gee bowled well, taking six wickets for 2 3 runs, and was top scorer with 2 5 runs. For Shawnigan School, Smith took 6 wickets for 18 runs, and Reed was top scorer with 15 runs; he also made two very good catches. Scores: Shawnigan Lake School J. G. Niven, run out H. G.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine too little account, but without it the Allies would not have achieved victory in the Great War, and the discipline of the people of the United Kingdom and Canada was equally wonderful during those difficult times. It was necessary for Canada, a growing nation, to have a number of leaders, constant in behaviour and conduct, who would be an example to all classes, and amongst the qualities they must have, he would put discipline first of all. Finally the three R ' s, mentioned by the Head Master, should always be before the boys in their future careers. PRIZE LIST, JUNE, 193 5 Form VII— G. W. Reed. Remove B— D. A. Matthews. Form VI— R. A.
