the opportunity to engage in a sport of great value from many aspects, and of growing interest to many at Shawnigan and throughout the province. The achievements of the Cadet Corps are recorded elsewhere in this issue, but deserve special mention by reason of an outstanding year under the leadership of C.P.O. Colin Crisp, who later was successful in gaining admission for naval training at H.M.C.S. Venture. The Annual Inspection was carried out by Capt. P. E. Haddon, R.C.N. , an Old Boy of the school and now Chief of Staff Pacific Command, Esquimalt, B.C. While, inevitably, farewells had to be said to a number of boys, graduates and others, who left at the end of the year, it was pleasing for the Headmaster to announce at Speech Day that there would be no staff changes for the school year commencing in September, 1956. ti ft ft Speech JUay — Aune, 1956 Our Annual Speech Day was held earlier than usual this year to enable the matriculation candidates to remain at the school for the examinations without interruption from other school activities. Another innovation was the holding of the Service in the School Chapel before the prize- giving ceremonies. The address at the Chapel Service was given by His Grace, The Most Rev. H. E. Sexton, D.D., Archbishop of British Columbia, who later distributed the prizes. The Headmaster, in his report on activities for the year, spoke of the loss suffered by the school in death during April of Commander Hew Paterson, who had been a Governor for nearly twenty years. He referrea to keen interest taken by Commander Paterson in the school ' s activities, and the affectionate regard in which he was held by many boys and staff members as well as by his associates on the Board of Governors. Reference was made to the improving academic record, and the hopes expressed for the success of this year ' s matriculation candidates were later realized in full measure. The successes of former students at University, notablv John Strathdee, who won 1st Class Honours in Physics and Maths at McGill, were mentioned, and stress was laid on the importance of continuing to raise standards in the academic sphere and every phase of school life to meet the exacting demands of this age. His Grace, the Archbishop, in presenting the prizes, congratulated the school and those who had won recognition on their achievement during the year. An expression of appreciation to Archbishop Sexton was given by the Honourable Mr. Justice H. I. Bird, a Governor of the school. On the platform with the Headmaster, were Archbishop Sexton, Mr. J. Y. Copeman, Chairman of the Board of Governors; Mr. Justice H .1. Bird, Mr. Hugh Savage (who presented the Annual Hugh Savage awards for English), Mr. E. R. Larsen (Senior Master) and Brian McGavin, Head Prefect. PRIZES AND AWARDS Upper 6th (Grade 12) F. M. Boyce Lower 6th (Grade 11) P. K. Janke Upper 5th (Grade 10) R. C. R. Malkin Upper 4th (Grade 9) R.
