Joining our staff this year we welcome MR. BEN BLOXHAM Ben Bloxham has joined our staff in the capacity of a part time librarian. Born in the Midlands of England he survived the destruction of his home during a bombing raid in the Second World War together with all the perils and dangers of the sea. After training aboard H.M.S. Worcester he entered the merchant navy and served seven years on the Australia and New Zealand run. During this time he also survived one mutiny and one mid-ocean sinking. In spite of this he claims that he has only fallen overboard once - from an eight foot dinghy in Shawnigan Lake! He has worked hard as a taxi driver, salesman, clerk, labourer, night porter but never, he says, so hard as he has since becoming librarian. Photo by G.L. Anderson Photo by I. Gillis MR. RAY CARR The second headmaster, Mr. Peter Kaye, found Ray Carr and brought him to Shawnigan in 1954 to head and develop woodwork and metal-work in our hobbies building. In this area he has been, and is, astonishingly successful and it was not long before Shawnigan boys were entering their work in regional exhibitions. When the new mathematics made its appearance in B.C. schools Shawnigan was among the first to train its teachers in this field and Ray Carr was among the first of our teachers to avail himself of this training. He taught mathematics at Shawnigan until his departure for Strathcona Lodge School in 1964. There he continued to teach for thirteen years while holding the position of Registrar. He returned to Shawnigan this year to his old position in the Hobby Shop and the school is particularly happy to welcome him back, confident in the knowledge that industrial arts will soon regain its former standard of excellence. In the small amount of free time available to him, Ray Carr, who recently became a pilot, is using the woodwork shop to construct his own aircraft.
