if It Cadet Corps 1946 We had a keen Corps last year and, at the annual Inspection, we were rated 95% efficient. The Corps ranked first in our area and third in the Prov- ince. Spurred by these results, we hope to do even better this year. Interest in Shooting was maintained by the introduction of Recreational Shooting. Badges won during the year were: First Class Badge 27 Marksman Badge 7 Expert Badge 1 Eight boys gained certificates for Morse Signalling and four for Advanced Morse. This year, with an increased enrollment, we have a company of three Platoons. Freeth is Cadet Captain. Cadet Lieutenants, appointed on the results of a Promotion Examination, are: Milbrad, Piddington and Forrest. Burrows is Company Sergeant and Naden again Quarter Master Sergeant. 1947 Throughout this year our Cadet Corps has functioned exceedingly well. In marksmanship our Corps was top in British Columbia and the signalling was outstanding. During the year the Cadets and the Officers trained well together and at our annual Inspection the Corps did its best to execute the results of the year ' s training. There was a Cadet hike which was an inter-house competition and which had as its object the reaching of certain territorial positions with the aid of maps. The badge for the best marksman in the Corps was won by Cadet Gordon Parke. This Marksman Badge is given annually to produce competition. The new recruits of this year have advanced rapidly and are becoming well- trained under our Officers. School Magazine Page 9

Examinations 1946 WE had no boys writing Senior Matriculation this year but our candidates again did well in the Junior Matriculation. Eight boys wrote the full Matriculation and all passed, gaining an average mark of 73.55%. Upper Fifth and Lower Fifth boys passea in 32 out of 3 5 papers. J. S. Oostermeyer, with an average mark of 87.93%, gained the Provincial Scholarship for the Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland District. This scholarship is awarded to the candidate obtaining the highest marks in the June Examinations and is open to boys and girls from all schools, Public and Private, in this district. This is the third consecutive year in which this Scholarship has been won by the School. 1947 We had four Senior Matriculation candidates, and all passed comfortably with an average mark of 66.7%. Freeth is now at the University of Toronto and Naden at the University of Washington. The Junior Matriculation results were not of quite so high a standard as in previous years, but three candidates passed in all subjects and the remaining three obtained partial standing. Upper Fifth candidates gained high marks in the subjects which they wrote. In all, 125 papers were written and pass marks were gained in 103. Eighty per cent or over was obtained in thirteen papers.

Music Notes This year, for three days each week, Mr. Jenkins, the Choir Master and Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, has come from Victoria to teach Music and to train the Choir. The Choir, although it shows gradual improve- ment, could use more support from the boys. It is hoped that more of them will realize the pleasure which can be obtained from singing and will offer to join us for we urgently need more strength in the boxes. Musical Appreciation classes are held in the Big School each Sunday even- ing for the Junior School. It is gratifying to find a number of Seniors also attend these Concerts voluntarily. From time to time we have been fortunate to have the musical life of the School enriched by visits to musical recitals in Victoria or by the appearance at the School of well-known artists. This year a number of boys attended the performance of Handel ' s Messiah at Christ Church Cathedral on December 14th. For the second year in succession Harry Adaskin has come to the School to give us a violin recital. The first part of this year ' s Programme consisted of a short lecture on the construction of a Sonata which was illustrated by various passages from Beethoven ' s Sonata No. 1 in A, Op. 30. The complete Programme is shown below: VIOLIN RECITAL Harry Adaskin, Violin Frances Marr, Piano Held at Shawnigan Lake School on Thursday afternoon, November 20th, 1947.
