Shawnigan Lake School Magazine Crews consisted of two, a captain and one other. Much distress was caused by the fact that sails had to be raised and lowered at the beginning and finish of each race. Eleven crews entered, and some good races were witnessed. We were fortunate in having a particularly breezy fortnight towards the end of term. The final between the Mackie-Tupper crew and the Paterson-Niven II crew was won by the latter. 27

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine ISSk M BOAT RACES, JUNE, 193 6 THE Inter-House rowing races were held at the end of the term in better weather conditions than have prevailed in previous years. Ripley ' s drew the bye in the cutter races, Lake ' s in the fours. CUTTER RACES In the semi-final of the cutters, Lake ' s beat Groves ' , covering the course in 4 mins. 20 sees. In the final they beat Ripley ' s in 3 mins. 40 sees. On both occa- sions they won by a good margin. SHELL RACES In the semi-final of the shells, Groves ' beat Ripley ' s by one length in 3 mins. 7 sees. Groves ' proved their superiority over the whole course, settling down to a steady row at the start, which they maintained to the end. In the final Groves ' beat Lake ' s after an exciting race which the latter looked like winning in the initial stages. Wilson stroked 10, 20 and }S l 2 for the first quarter, half and full minute respectively to Burchard ' s 11, 20 and 39, and gave his; crew a lead of half a length. In, this he was well backed up by Smith. But the effort was not maintained, and Groves ' gradually drew ahead with a succession of spurts. They repeated their success of last year in winning by three-quarters of a length in 2 mins. and 5 1 sees. The Crews Groves ' — Stroke: D. Burchard; 3, J. Whittle; 2, R. Day; bow, J. Budd. Lake ' s — Stroke: T. Wilson; 3, J. Smith; 2, F. Gregory; bow, I. Davis. Ripley ' s — Stroke: G. Mackie; 3, G. Tupper; 2, J. Reynolds; bow, J. Niven. SAILING RACES An experiment was made this summer of holding sail-boat races. The two flat-bottomed boats, Dynamite and Flattie V were equipped as nearly alike as possible, and a triangular course was set. The course ran from the School wharf to the head of a sunken log just off the mouth of the Mill Stream, thence to one of the piles at the Mill, and returning by way of the Forest Inn float. — 26 —
