Shawnigan Lake School Magazine morning there was a Physical Training Exhibition, and in the after- noon a Rugger match against the Old Boys. The Old Boys defeated us, but what could we expect when they produced such men as John Bird, Bruce Mackedie and Bill Brooks? In the evening there was a Rag Concert, the best for many years. On Sunday morning there was a Service, to which we welcomed the Bishop. Many thanks to Mr. W. H. Bullock-Webster for his gift of two very fine Goat heads, and to Mr. Grote Stirling for his interest in securing a Buffalo head for the School. A most useful and generous gift of carpentry tools has been given by Capt. R. H. Ley. Four boys left in July for England and were given a two weeks ' cruise with the Home Fleet on manoeuvres by the Admiralty. Newton was in H.M.S. Southampton, and her commander is R. W. B. Lacon (O.B.) ; Fraser was in H.M.S. Revenge with Motherwell, and Gardner was in H.M.S. Cornwall. We have to thank T. A. Piddington and David Savage for a delight- ful gift of pictures. These are reprints by well-known Canadian artists from the National Gallery in Ottawa. D. A. C. Newton is Captain of Football and Cricket. The School orchestra has been brought to life again. At the moment enthusiasm is more evident than technical skill. With a view to giving it time to develop, all members have been drawn from the lower school. P. F. Mackie passed, with merit, the Senior Piano Examination of Trinity College, London. R. M. Day is entering Jesus College, Cambridge, and D. W. Bur- chard is rowing No. 2 in the freshman boat at Yale University. Several boys took advantage of the visit of the San Francisco Opera Ballet to enjoy a most artistic evening on Monday, Noven ber 21st.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « CnajizL z fotz± » DURING the year School Services have been as usual, with the addition of an evening service once a month. We were all sorry to say good-bye to Mr. Bury, who has given us some very outstanding addresses. The Bishop of Columbia held a Confirmation Service here on March 25th, at which fourteen boys and eight girls from Strathcona were confirmed. The beautiful flowers at that Service were given by Mrs. P. A. Woodward. The parish church was rebuilt during May, and for that time we invited the parish to use our Chapel. Some beautiful gifts were given to the Chapel, including Alms Bags from Mrs. Stanton and Miss Gildea, and a Veil and Burse, belonging to the late Rev. J. S. A. Bastin, by Mrs. Bastin. On Speech Day the final Service was held at 8: 00 p.m., and the Dean of Columbia preached an inspiring sermon in an overcrowded Chapel. On Armistice Sunday the Bishop preached. The Rev. E. M. Willis kindly ca me up for All Saints Day. The old Barless Psalter has been superseded by the New Cathedral Psalter, and its use is expected to give a more interesting and appre- ciative rendering of the Psalms. At Christmas there was a concert in the Big School, with a pro- gramme of Carols by the Choir.
