of the newly confirmed made their first Communion on this occa- sion. During the Good Friday Service, we were privileged to hear portions of the St. Matthew Passion (Bach). The sad death of our janitor, Benjamin Lovell, on June 17th, 1943, meant that the Chapel was used for the first time for a funeral Service. The Service, held on June 19th, was conducted by the Rev. E. M. Willis and the School Chaplain. Donations have been made from the Chapel Fund to the Synod of the Diocese, St. Barnabas ' Church, The Red Cross, the Poppy Fund, the Aid to Russia Fund, the Navy League of Canada, and St. Mark ' s Church. EXAM IN ATIONS — -3 1943. In June, 1943, wi th two exceptions, all candidates wrote the British Columbia Provincial Examinations. The exceptions were Selous who wrote the Entrance Examination for the Royal Navy and passed extremely well, and Hickey who passed the Entrance Examination to the California Institute of Technology. Eight boys wrote the Entrance Examination for the University of British Columbia and seven passed in all subjects. In Senior Matricula- tion, eight boys sat and seven passed in all subjects. The eighth failed in Mathematics. 1944. We had no candidates for Senior Matriculation owing to the fact that all boys eligible proposed to join one or other of the Services. Nine boys wrote the Junior Matriculatoin Examinations and all nine passed with an average mark of 79%. One boy, R. S. M. Ling, was awarded the Provincial Scholarship for Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland and in addition to his Junior Matriculation he took Senior Matriculation Greek in which he obtained 90%. 1945. Only five candidates sat in June, 1945. Of these four passed and one of these, B. B. Everest, won the Provincial Scholarship for this district, thus bringing the Scholarship to the School for the second consecutive year. Macdonald wrote his Senior Matriculation and is now at Toronto University. One boy successfully passed the Entrance Examination to the California Institute of Technology. Page 10 SHAWNIGAN LAKE

1 »BY SB D T»i jb! Tftc Machine Shop There has been considerable activity in the woodworking depart- ment this term and three boys have been busy with the metal lathes. An attempt has been made to teach a junior form to nse a few tools correctly and to perform simple operations rather than rely on machines. A simple project, accurately made and carefully finished throughout by a boy, is preferable to a more ambitious undertaking in which most of the work is done by some machine. In the early part of the term there was a good deal of work in connection with the forts, doors and windows, etc., being built. The Photography Club During the term the membership of the club has dropped because several of last year ' s members disliked the new rule that they would be required to work or resign. However, there is still plenty of enthusiasm and keenness among the present active members, headed by our able president, T. H. Gowman. In the course of the summer the lens of the enlarger disappeared. Naturally we missed this very much as enlarging was one of the most popular sides of the club ' s activities. We have, however, located another lens which, we hope, will arrive in the very near future. Unfortunately, this term we do not have the keen support of Mr. Dixon, who helped us a great deal last year. We miss him and hope that before long we shall have the assistance of another master. The Printing Club There has not been much activity but Burrows is shamed into spasmodic activity to keep his hand in. The Taxidermy Club We hope to restart this club as there are some boys, notably Hagar, who have an infectious enthusiasm. Page 1% SHAWNIGAN LAKE
