DEDICATION The Rev. Canon William Hamilton Horace McClelland M.B.E., M.A. Not many men would or could have served the school more willingly or more loyally than Horace McClelland. The years between his arrival on staff in 1967 and the present have been some of the most eventful and difficult in Shawnigan ' s history. For Horace they have been years in which he has been called upon to fill many administrative roles: throughout as Chaplain; on two occasions as Assistant Headmaster; as Acting Headmaster and, finally, as the 7th Headmaster when Hugh Wilkinson relinquished that position in 1975. To all these he has brought energy and dedication. Indeed the McClelland Wilkinson years have witnessed important additions - among them the new tennis courts - and renovations to our older buildings. Moreover, today, the school has the largest enrolment in its history. Born in County Armagh, Horace McClelland was educated at The King ' s Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin. Always keen on sport, he played cricket for Trinity and rugby, his favourite game, for Palmerston while holding the curacy of St. Anne ' s and Christchurch, Leeson Park. In 1951 he joined the Royal Army Chaplains Department of the British Army and served in Cyprus, Hong Kong and North Africa with many regiments including the Gurkhas, the Commandos, the 17th 21st Lancers and the Parachute Regiment, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He took part in the 1956 operations against Egypt and, in 1961, the Queen created him a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. It was, in fact, through an army friend, Colonel John Lake, a former Head of School, that Horace McClelland first found his way to Shawnigan. In dedicating this edition to Horace McClelland the editors of the Stag would also like to pay tribute to Sheila McClelland and to express our gratitude for her hospitality, help, interest and support which she too has so wholeheartedly given the school. To both we wish many more years of happy and rewarding association with Shawnigan.
