Morres (1920-24), after a turn of duty with Canadian Army Liaison in England, has been posted to a senior appointment under the Quartermaster General at Army H.Q. in Ottawa. Lieut.-Colonel John Lake (1923-33) is at H.Q- British Troops in Austria and has the good fortune to be stationed beside the Worthersee, a charming lake in the mountains near the Austro-Jugoslav border. In May he and his family were delighted to receive a visit from Miss Mabel and Miss K. E. Lonsdale, sisters of our late Head Master and Founder. Alan Best (1923-26) is well known in Vancouver for the fine job he is doing as curator of the Stanley Park Zoo, to which post he brings a background of many years of travel to remote parts of the world in search of rare birds and animals. The Canadian Navy List contains so many Old Boys ' names of distinction and senior rank that we shall be disappointed if their combined influence cannot soon arrange for the commissioning of an H.M.C.S. Shawnigan ! Captain M. G. Stirling (1929-33) is on the staff of SACLANT in Norfolk, Virginia, Commander C. Pat Nixon, D.S.C. (1926-33), is Executive Officer of Magnificent, and has Lieut. -Commander A. C. Campbell (1929-35) with him as First Lieut.-Commander. Lieut.- Commander Reg Hayden (1929-32) is Deputy Director of Naval Information. Lieutenant J. R. H. Ley (1933-41) is in Cayuga. Lieut. Commander A. H. M. Slater (1937-39) is Officer-in-Charge of H.M.C. Seamanship School at Halifax. Lieut.-Commander Robin Hayward (1931-37) after a year in Athabaskan in Korean waters is now, as he says, pushing a pen in Naval Intelligence which he finds far more difficult than fighting the Commies. Captain O. C. S. Robertson, G.M. (1917-19) is in command of H.M.C S. Donnacona, the Naval Reserve Division in Montreal. Lieut.-Commander R. H. Leir (1935-40) is in Antigonish at Esquimalt.

J. P. GAFFNEY. Another batsman who showed promise but never completely lived up to it owing to erratic play. His fielding was often weak, though he played keenly at all times. C. D. BROOKS. A good, close fielder at all times, he played well but for his batting which, on the whole, was weak. R. C. SIMSON. A player whose batting was good earlier in the season but which fell off later owing, it seemed, to a lack of self-confidence. His fielding was sound and his ball throwing long and accurate. W. J. LI ASK AS. A capable batsman who never really got into his stride. Movement in the field was slow, causing his fielding to be weak. A keen player and useful change bowler. B. DRYVYNSYDE. An enthusiastic player who had a poor batting season but who fielded well. Also played: J. L. Warner and H. D. Read. 1st XI Cricket Bowling Averages: Runs Wickets Averages T. M. Osvold 223 39 5.7 R.

All matches were won against University School, St. George ' s School, Glenlyon and St. Michael ' s School. The side was ably led by Robertson I and great en- thusiasm was engendered throughout the season. Half colours in the form of a school scarf were awarded for the first time to Robertson I, Svenden I, Power, Kaye II, McGavin II, Cooper and Cuppage.

An unusual Old Boys ' reunion took place a few weeks age, by telephone line slung between warships. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants held their annual convention recently in Victoria and one of the highlights of the week was an afternoon cruise in Ontario and Sioux, generously provided by the R.C.N, with the co-operation of the officers and men of the two ships. When, as an exercise for the visitors to see, u Costain line was fired from Ontario to Sioux and a telephone wire passed across, Derek Johnston (1926-28), a C.A. guest of Ontario, asked and obtained permission to speak to his old schoolfellow Commander Phil Haddon (1919-27), Captain of Sioux. Other C.A. Old Boys on the cruise included F. Dillon, M. Williams (1921-23), C. E. R. Bazett -(1324-30) and D. F. H. Corbett (1931-35). Phil Haddon commanded Sioux at the Coronation rieview at Spithead in the summer; he is expected to leave her shortly and take up an appointment at Naval Service H.Q. in Ottawa. Before leaving the Navy, it might not be inappropriate to mention two former masters of the School: Captain A. P. Musgrave, who has recently retired and is rumoured to be coming out to live on the West Coast, and Captain Martin H. Ellis who is Director of Naval Training in Ottawa. Tom Naden (1944-47) is a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and when last heard cf was stationed in Albuquergue, New Mexico. C. B. Tuttle (1946-51) is in the U.S. Navy, serving in U.S.S. Ptar migan. Ian McPherson (1935-39) is with the Law Department of Canadian National Railways in Montreal. Michael Bellm (1948-50) runs a pharmaceutical company in Saanich and his brother David Bellm (1948-52) is studying in Paris. E. A. Toshach (1941-45) has a department store in Drumheller, Alta., and was married a few months ago. G. G. Paterson (1942-44) is pursuing architecture studies at Oxford. E. R. Ned Larsen (1938-42) has spent the last three years at Exeter College, Oxford, and returned to Shawnigan in August with a bride, an M.A. and three Blues (Squash, Bad- minton and Basketball). He has already spent two years at the School as a master, and ill Old Boys wish him every success in his new appointment as Senior Master.

The Vancouver parents were instrumental in providing most generously all the lumber, hardware and other materials required for the erection of a new diving tower and float. Many parents from Seattle and the surrounding area who have visited the School during the year have come laden with supplies of lumber for the Hobby Shop and additions to the School Library. This continued interest and tangible assistance is very much appreciated. Mr. D. W. Maclnnes of 4785 Chancellor Boulevard continues as Chairman of the Vancouver Parents Guild and Mr. W. B. Woolf is the Chairman of the Parents ' Association of Washington. Page Twenty-Two
