Closing Vaif On Thursday, June 30th, the Annual Closing Day Ceremonies were held at the School. The events of the day commenced with a Corporate Communion Service in the School Chapel at 7:30 a.m., conducted especially for the Graduating Class. At 1:30 p.m. a special ceremony was conducted at the Culter Field at which Mr. Lawrence Culter unveiled the Memorial Pillar, which had been erected beside the new field. This field, which i s large enough for two rugby pitches and one cricket pitch, was presented to the School through the generosity of Mr. Lawrence Culter and Mr. Richard Culter in memory of their father Mr. Carl J. Culter. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Cul- ter were introduced to the Captains and Vice-Captains of Major Sports, to the Head Boy, and to Mr. T. Brierley. At 2:00 p.m. the Leaving Service was held and the Archbishop gave the graduates a very stirring address. After this the Prize Giving and closing addresses took place in the new Assembly Hall. The main Address was given by Dr. M. Taylor, the President of the University of Victoria. Dr. Taylor began by saying it was a unique and special privilege to address Shawnigan Lake School on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee. He went on, for a School to become fifty years old in a land as young as British Columbia is a record and an unusual achievement. Like all other human institutions, whether it be a church, a university, a nation, a business, or a co-op, a private school is known by two standards: the standards of its ideals and the extent to which those ideals are achieved by the members of the institution. On both counts Shawnigan Lake School ranks high: its ideals of quality, leadership training, co-operation and spiritual inspiration, are of the highest and one has only to exam- ine the lives of hundreds of its Old Boys to be aware that Shawnigan Lake has been unusually successful in achieving its high objectives. In speaking to the graduating class he considered the question, Where is the new generation going to? Society has entered the age of automation, with its emphasis on knowledge and de-emphasis on muscle. The most rapidly expanding category of workers are the Knowledge workers, and this meant a society which con- centrated in what human beings excelled in— the use of their minds. He said that the shortage of educated and trained people was extremely serious, and pointed out that today there are about 2,400 possible careers open to them as opposed to a dozen one hundred years ago. In this strange and complex world of automation one must adapt a habit of life long learning, for there is the possibility that skills achieved will become obsolete. 10
