Aune, 1956, Examinations B.C. JUNIOR MATRICULATION The Junior Matriculation results this year were better than they have been for many years. In the Grade XII examinations, 64 of the 66 papers attempted were passed. Of the two failures one subject was not required for matriculation. The average mark for all examinations written was 67.4%. With one or two exceptions in certain subjects, those who were in Grade XII, while not being outstanding students, did have the happy faculty of tackling their work with determination and as a result passed very creditably. Though no scholarship was won, Boyce came close and will undoubtedly do well in his university work. We congratulate McKechnie upon his having been awarded a Navy League Scholarship soon after he had entered U.B.C. The school, indeed, has reason to be proud of the results achieved by its 1956 graduating class, each of whom did his best. In the Department of Education examinations in courses which terminate at Grade XI, 48 of the 51 papers written were passed and an average of 64.6% was achieved by these candidates. A list of results obtained by those who wrote departmental examinations is given below: No. of No. who Average Highest GRADE XII Candidates passed % Mark English 40 Language 11 11 69.3 89 English 40 Literature 11 11 64 85 History 91 11 11 71.2 84 Maths 91 11 11 71.4 95 Physics 91 11 11 71 88 French 92 6 6 64.5 87 Latin 92 1 1 66 66 German 92 1 41 41 Biology 91 3 2 53 62 McGill Jr. Trigonometry 5 5 81 95 Not required for Matriculation.

To be eligible for the Scholarship a candidate must be under fourteen years of age on the first day of January of the year in which he writes the examinations. The competition this year was close and many good papers were written. A. G. S. Archbold of Glenlyon School, Victoria, is to be congratulated upon coming top with an average mark of 76.3%. K. A. Pellett came second with an average in all his papers of 71%. Archbold was awarded a Foundation Scholarship and Pellett a Bursary. Page Ten
