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 The old Barless Psalter has been superseded by the New Cathedral Psalter, and its use is expected to give a more interesting and appre- ciative rendering of the Psalms.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.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « Speech Day » THE School Speech Day was held on June 25th and was preceded on the Friday evening by a Service in the Chapel at 8 p.m., with a most inspiring address by the Very Reverend the Dean of Columbia. The School buildings were all outlined with coloured lights, and a large number of parents and visitors at the lakeside watched a half hour ' s excellent fireworks display and a procession of over twenty boats decorated with Chinese lanterns. After this, refreshments were served at the School. On Saturday morning the Finals of the Water Sports were held and at 1 : 15 p.m. a Physical Training Exhibition on the Cricket Field. This was an exceptionally good show, including squads of Physical Training, Box Horse Squad, Tumbling Squad and Fencing Display. After this the prizes were given away after speeches by the Head Master, who spoke of the doings of the School during the past year, mentioning the successes of various Old Boys ; to wit, S. Lane, who has passed first in the Law School at Dalhousie ; H. Housser, fifth in the same class ; F. Taylor, who has won a scholarship at University of British Columbia ; and of this year ' s successes, a scholarship to the California Institute of Technology, won by A. E. Bell ; and after a very excellent speech on citizenship by Mr. E. W. Neel. At the con- clusion of the prize giving, the Lord Bisho p of Columbia, on behalf of the School, thanked Mr. Neel for his very excellent address. The prize list follows, and also Mr. Neel ' s address. After the prize giving, tea Avas served on the lawn to over four hundred people. Mr. Neel spoke as follows : Mr. Lonsdale has given us a list of the achievements of the School during the past year, and I should like to congratulate him on the School, particularly on his perfect score of 100% in examinations. I also wish to congratulate the boys who are responsible for these results, and I hope that in every succeeding venture they will be able to make an equally perfect score. I have not been here for many years, and it is a great pleasure to those of us who are parents who were associated with the School in its very earliest days and who have seen it grow to the spacious, stately structure that it is now. When Mr. Lonsdale honoured me with an invitation to speak here today, he asked me to say a few words on the subject of citizen- ship, a subject you hear a lot about these days. I do not suppose that boys have altered much since I was a boy, and I have exceedingly painful recollections of having to pay attention to Speech Dav speeches when my mind was full of thoughts of going home and holi- days. Now, what constitutes good citizenship? There is no mystery about it ; there are no rules ; there is no grammar, no verbs, no adjec- tives which usually make your lives very unpleasant at times. There are none of these things. You here occupy, so to speak, a country of your own. You are citizens of Shawnigan Lake School. Unconsciously you are every day absorbing the principles of good citizenship. I should define those principles as honesty, clean living, clean thinking 10
