Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « Cricket » THE season ' s record of two matches Avon, two drawn and four lost was rather disappointing. The eleven were young and inex- perienced, but they had shown in practice that they were capable of making plenty of runs. But although several good scores were made, the batting was inconsistent and too many of the team were inclined to lose their wickets by taking chances before they had played them- selves in. The bowlers worked hard and were always difficult to score from, but there was too little variety and in consequence the attack lacked sting. An innovation which proved popular this year was the introduc- tion of a system of nets at which younger members of the School could receive individual coaching in their spare time. The value of these nets was seen in the success of the Colts XI. 1st CRICKET ELEVEN 1939 Back Row: M. Gandossi, H. C. Wilkinson, G. H. Nanson, C. P. Forrest, A. B. Hammond, I. E. McPherson.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine The Rifle Range RIFLE shooting has shown signs of reviving interest this year under the expert guidance of Capt. Palin. Our new indoor range, which is seventy- five feet in length, is now well equipped with excellent B.S.A. rifles. The attendance has increased to forty members, many of whom are entering the Dominion Marksmanship contests. A bronze medal is awarded to any individual scoring a mean of 80 per cent on ten targets, and this seems to be as far as the average ability extends at present. Competitions between staff and school teams are proving very popular, as is the Inter-School competition to determine the best shot on a year-round average basis. A moving target system has recently been installed, and com- petitors are convinced that, given a time of six seconds to load and fire, one must shoot well to score. This year ' s additions have proved most successful. — Cavenagh. The Camera Club DESPITE loss of membership the photography group has made good progress this year. Fully qualified members are permitted individual use of the darkroom, while apprentices must be accom- panied by a Senior. The newly adopted apprenticeship system will provide adequate instruction for those who need it. All the apparatus necessary for good enlargements is on hand. This includes two private enlargers, together with the necessary trays, graduates, and other materials. Lack of a good heating ele- ment is the only handicap at present. Prospective members should be informed that no dues are being collected, as the club is sufficiently well equipped to carry on its work without exacting fees from the members. The greater part of developing and printing is done next term, at which time the members hope to produce several good prints for their exhibition at the end of the year. — D. Johnson. [ 15 ]
