JUNE 1963 In spite of the increasing requirements this year of University Entrance, Shawnigan has on the whole improved its own slate of results. This news, it is hoped, will be received with some satisfaction by the parents, and it is certainly gratifying to the teachers who have made it possible. One point of interest this year has to do with the examinations which were written at the Grade 13 level. We have not had a Grade 13 class as such, as in previous years; however, further to our policy of providing extra challenge for those students who can manage it, we have encouraged Grade 12A boys to extend themselves and to do Grade 13 courses where possible. Consequently, the Grade 13 results which are listed below have all been produced by Grade 12 boys over and above their Grade 12 courses. Most of the boys who have qualified to enter University will be attending U.B.C. or the University of Victoria in September. However, several boys applied for entrance to American universities and the following have been accepted: R. Anderson won a scholarship to the University of Illinois, N. Kaiser was accepted into Yale, C. Elms into M.I.T., G. Thomson into U.C.L.A. and D. Grauer into Amherst.
