JUNE, 1964 In spite of the increasing requirements this year of University Entrance, Shawnigan has 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. At the Grade 12 level, out of 30 candidates, 26 have passed all required courses and have gained entrance to university; three fell short in one course only, and one fell short in two 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, the following have applied and been accepted at McGill University— P. Clough, M. Atwood, D. Clark; at the University of Alberta (Edmonton) —C. S. Clark; at Wesleyan College (U.S.)— S. Davidson; and at the University of Illinois— K. Nordstrom.
