Simon Salmon, Marcus Hunter, Andrew Deane, Derek Thomas, David Reese, Michael McEachern. Thanks to the helping hand of our Chaplain (Canon McClelland) the life of the Chapel in the past year has gone very smoothly. The format has been the same for several years and the attendance at Evening Prayer on Tuesdays and Thursdays has been even better than in recent years. This was due in no small part to the fact that each House took on the responsibility of attending on a particular day. It was quite a sight, for example, to see Michael Moir as Head of House, like a Pied Piper, leading his House on Lonsdale ' s day. The attendance at the early celebration of Holy Communion on Sunday mornings was about the best in recent years. A revival of religious influence among young people? Who knows? The Confirmation Class was a little larger than in recent years and we are most grateful to our Bishop who found the time in the middle of the Diocesan Synod to come and officiate at the annual Confirmation Serivce. We are also grateful to the following who gave addresses in the Chapel: the Reverends J. Murray, Rector of St. Peter ' s Anglican Church, Quamichan, L. Leonard, Roman Catholic Priest in charge of the local Parish of Shawnigan Lake, and J. Ware, Minister of the United Church in Duncan and father of Harley who graduated this year. The annual Founder ' s Day Service was again a great success although there were rather fewer parents and Old Boys present. However, it is mainly for the benefit of the present boys who greatly appreciated the address of Old Boy Brigadier S.E.E. Morres, 1920 24. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the wonderful response of the boys to an appeal for funds for Operation Eyesight. The thanks of the Chapel Committee are also expressed to Mrs. McClelland and Mrs. Le Roux for their very decorative arrangements of flowers in the Chapel throughout the year, and to the Sacristans and Servers who helped the Chaplain in the day to day running of the Chapel. The now customary barbecue at the end of the year at the McClelland ' s home was certainly enjoyed by all. Trent Stenmark Senior Sacristan

NEW STAFF This Year We Welcomed NICHOLAS COGHLAN Mr. Nicholas Coghlan was born in Worcestershire, Eng- land and educated at Preparatory and Public Schools in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire. He attended Queen ' s Col- lege, Oxford where he received a B.A. in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) and later a degree in teaching from the University of Nottingham. After teaching in England Mr. Coghlan taught for three years at Saint George ' s School in Buenos Aires. Mr. Coghlan will be teaching French and English as well as helping with Drama and coaching Rugby and Rowing. We, at Shawnigan, look forward to his contri- butions in academics, activities and athletics. Fred Pletcher (Grade 10) WILLIAM McCRACKEN Mr. Bill McCracken came to Shawnigan in the middle of August with the prospect of taking the helm of Groves ' House from Mr. Bean. Mr. McCracken was born in Saint John, New Brunswick and grew up in Ottawa. Still keeping to the East, he received his major degrees at the two well known Halifax universi- ties, King ' s College and Saint Mary ' s. Both his wife and he have held previous housemastering positions at King ' s Edgehill in Windsor, Nova Scotia. At Shawnigan, Mr. McCracken plans to teach Business Economics and Social Studies to the senior grades. Also, he will coach the debating team, and hopes to develop public speaking alongside that. Furthermore, he takes a great interest in Canadian politics, and hopes to start a Political Science course at the School. In addition, he takes great pleasure in seeing his name spelt correctly. One of the few Maritimers in the West, we hope that Mr. McCracken and his wife will be very happy at Shawnigan for many years to come. Miles Pittman (Grade 10)
