Tupper for their valuable help to the School. We regret to report the death on December 2nd, 1945, of Lady Lake, widow of the late Lieut. -General Sir Percy Lake, who was the first Chairman of our Board of Governors; and also of Lord Col- ville who was killed on March 19th, 1944. The School was lent to the Diocesan Clergy Conference in July, 1944, and again in 1945. This year it was succeeded by a Layman Conference under the direction of the Reverend Canon Coleman. The Department of Education held a short course in Leadership during the 1945 Summer School and some sixty-five teachers attended. Our grateful thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt for their gift of a large number of Bob ' s books for the Library. Mrs. F. H. Stanton and Peter Belither are to be congratulated on the results of their work in the garden. Page 8 Photograph by Freeth. SHAWNIGAN LAKE
