There were twenty candidates from public and private schools who competed, and many good papers were written. We heartily congratulate Charles Pentland, of Shawnigan Lake School, upon being the first winner of a Koerner Foundation Scholarship. Two others who did very well in these examina- tions were Burrows, of Shawnigan, and Reid, of Glenlyon School, Victoria, who is now attending Shawnigan. We hope that our candidates for this Scholarship will, in future, be as successful as were those who wrote last May. it it it (chapel f e ipei i lews Once again, as in previous years, the Chapel has been the centre of a number of important events in the life of the School. Founder ' s Day was observed on the first Sunday, September 16th, with some of the Board of Governors present. On this occasion the Headmaster gave the address. The Remembrance Day Service took place on November 11th, the Reverend C. M. Hubbard, curate at Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria, being the special preacher. A Sea Cadet bugler sounded the Last Post and Reveille. Numerous parents and visitors were present, filling the Chapel to capacity. Most of the Old Boys deferred their attendance until the following Sunday when the Old Boys ' week-end was held. On that occasion the former School Chaplain, the Rev- erend E. M. Willis, gave the address. As usual, one of the principal services, and one of special significance and importance, was the Confirmation Service conducted by the Most Reverend H. E. Sexton, D.D., Lord Archbishop of the Diocese of British Columbia. This was on 31st March with a large attendance of parents and others. The twenty candidates were presented by the Chaplain, the Reverend J. H. Maunsell. One Christening was performed, on May 5th, when the Reverend E. M. Willis baptized Alixe Mairi, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Knighton. The Closing Service was held on June 15th, prior to the other Speech Day ceremonies. Once again the Archbishop, who is Official Visitor to the School, was able to be present and gave a short and inspiring address. Page Eleven
