Dedication We are most honoured to dedicate this year ' s maga- zine to a man whose long and dedicated connection with the school goes back forty-six years to 1922. Mr. Myles Ellissen, born in London, England, edu- cated at Malvern College and winner of the Military Cross at the Battle of the Somme came to the school under its late founder C. W. Lonsdale. As a form master he taught all subjects, coached cricket and took charge of all blast- ing operations on the trunks of the trees being cut down to make what are today our present playing fields. After the fire of December 1926 the present main building was constructed and Lake ' s House was founded with Mr. Ellissen as Housemaster and Bursar. During this time the Chapel, Copeman ' s House, and the old Classroom Block were built and the enrolment rose to two hundred five. After a Headmastership at Strathcona School for boys in Calgary he went back into the Canadian Army as the Company Commander of a Basic Training Centre in Camros Alberta with the rank of Major. Then in 1961, Mr. Ellissen came back to what ob- viously has always been his first love: Shawnigan Lake School. He came as Bursar and as such he has reached a great service to us all with an understanding and devo- tion the like of which one seldom if ever meets. Outside the Bursary he took part in all he had time for — he sang in the choruses of several Gilbert and Sullivans, played on the stage in several staff sketches, umpired cricket matches, looked after the publication of the annual magazine and so on. He has now retired and although he will continue his strong and invaluable connection with the school as a Governor, the immediate Shawnigan scene will always be poorer by his absence. No longer will we have with us one of that old breed of whom everybody is terrified, but whom everybody loves. On his retirement he and Mrs. Ellissen are embarking on a world tour. We shall miss them very much indeed but we wish them an exciting and happy trip and a very joyous retirement. Dedication In grateful acknowledgement of his contribution to Shawnigan Lake School the editors dedicate this year ' s Annual to M. A. Ellissen, M.C.
