Out of the six matches we played, we lost every one. We have a much lighter Team than last year and only five members of last year ' s team were on the First Fifteen this year. We suffered some minor injuries from time to time but they did not hinder the Team from improving in every game. We were up against much stronger, faster and more experienced teams, but from the spectator ' s view- point Shawnigan played well throughout the season. The Colts defeated Brentwood College in two games, lost a game, and tied for another. Although they were trounced by University School, 18-0, they show great promise. The line-up for the First Fifteen was as follows: Day (Captain), Milbrad, Anderson, Balshaw, Billings, Birch, Burr, Butt, Cowell, Johnson, Loughary, Parke I, Parke II, Pearkes, Putnam, Tuttle and Walters. Cricket The seasons of 1946 and 1947 were very short owing to the late date for Easter. We had in both years a very young and inexperienced Team which never completely settled down. In 1946 we lost four matches, won one, and had one spoiled by rain. In 1947 out of seven games we again managed to win only one, losing badly three of the remaining six. Throughout both years the bowling and fielding were up to standard, but the batting was weak. In 1946 we had only four boys of the 1945 Team. In 1947 we had seven of the 1946 Team. The Colts XI of both years was a keen and promising side and should provide good material fro the future. In 1947 the Staff challenged the School to a game which turned out to be the most interesting of the season. In this game our able Staff overcame the School 62-60.

This year we welcome Johnson, Dunn, Robinson, McDonald, Walker, ' Tutin, McAlpine and de Grandcourt. Day, Parke 1 and Billings are School Prefects and are ably assisted by Parke 2 and Bice as House Prefects. We have claimed our fair representation on the football field having six of our members in the School 1st XV and five in the Colts Team. Last year in the Boxing Tournaments we won the Heavyweight Cham- pionship and nearly every other boy who fought won in his weight. Our Team for this year shows great promise. During the year the Cadet Corps was run on an inter-house basis and Groves ' proudly claimed the honour of first place. In the Rag Concert this year we put on a skit, Casey at the Bat, which, we believe, was a success. We welcome Mr. Nutter as our Housemaster. He joined the Staff in September and has already put into effect many new ideas all to the betterment of the spirit and discipline of Groves ' . Last, but by no means least in importance, we wish to extend our thanks to Miss Stewart for the trouble she has taken in making such an excellent job of the new curtains for the Senior Common Room. Our thanks also go to Mrs. Groves and to an Old Boy, A. C. Johnson, for such generous donations to the Groves ' House fund. Rugby Notes 1946 I he Rugby season this year was not a great success. The First Fifteen won one game against Navy C, but lost games to Brentwood, the University School and the Oak Bay High School, Every game, however, was played with enthusiasm and courage. The Second Fifteen lost its only match to Navy D. The Colts, although they might have been judged as a good team, lost their matches to the University School and Brentwood College. There can be no doubt that they made a good Colts ' Team for the 1947 season as events have proved. The line-up for the First Fifteen was as follows: Naden (Captain), Mil- Page 14 Shawnigan Lake
