Editorial 3 Vl T HAS BEEN SAID that this year 1952-53 has been a year of transition in the life of the School. It is perhaps a natural conse- quence from the advent of a new Head Master, but this is not the only change that has taken place. In the first place, the school year commenced with an enrolment of 114 boys, which was a substantial jump from the 70 who were enrolled at the end of the previous year. At Speech Day in June, 1953, there were more boys in attendance for whom it was the first experience of such an event at Shawnigan Lake School than otherwise. Furthermore, there seems every indication that these numbers will be main- tained. The improved state of the School ' s finances in conse- quence has made possible many necessary replacements and renovations in the fabric of the School which in themselves pro- vide change. Surely these are heartening signs that Shawnigan Lake School will, in the terms of its charter, endure for all time. The term private school which is ascribed to Shawnigan Lake and other similar schools seems unfortunate, nor is the newer term independent school truly representative. Shawnigan is neither private nor independent. It is an educational trust, which depends upon public acceptance of what it has to offer in terms of education in the fullest sense of that word. The significant feature of Shawnigan Lake School is that it is a boarding school, where boys of like age, from variable surroundings and circum- stances, may not only be taught the curriculum of the educational system of this province, but may live together, work together, play together, and share those unique opportunities of incalculable value which are afforded by its Chapel, its gymnasium, hobby shop, playing fields, lake-shore facilities and rural surroundings. Despite the materialism of today, these a.e the features that will allow Shawnigan to endure for all time because these are the things that enable those who enjoy them to develop character and equip themselves for useful, healthy and happy citizenship.
