' Prouincial Stains We are very pleased to report that the academic results achieved this year in the Provincial Examinations are the best we have had in five years. As a matter of fac t, the results achieved in 1960 were the best in the history of the School; however, since we now have twice as many boys writing as we did then and since the examinations are definitely more difficult, we are most encouraged. In one respect the boys have done better this year than ever before, and this is in the achievement of more high marks. While it is important that as many boys as possible may pass their examinations, the School con- siders it even more important that a large number of high marks should be achieved. Shawnigan doe s not set out to be a cramming institution but a school which, in every activity, strives for excellence. In Grade 12, out of 44 candidates, 40 passed everything and have gained entrance to university, and 13 have won Government Scholar- ships. Significantly, of the 212 papers written, 24 per cent of them were over 80 per cent.
