THE ARMORIAL BEARINGS OF SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL THE COAT OF ARMS: This refers to the shield and to the devices or charges which are displayed on it. The overall design follows very closely the one which Mr. C.W. Lonsdale adopted and used for many years for the school he founded. The devices used in a coat of arms do not necessarily have any particular significance nor do they need to have. It is only necessary for them to distinguish clearly an individual owner or a corporation from another so that there can be no confusion. Indeed, the oldest coats of arms now in existence very often have nothing more than simple lines dividing one part of the shield from another. Or again, they may have only the simplest geometrical shapes not intended to represent or allude to anything in particular. With the passing of the centuries these simple designs were all used so it became necessary to adopt more elaborate emblems - animals or birds, weapons or other inanimate objects such as the bugles or hunting horns in ours. Nevertheless, the maple leaves are an obvious reference to Canada since we are a Canadian school. You can also see a reference to Shawnigan Lake in the wavy part, technically called a bend, which runs diagonally across the middle of the shield. Beyond these features there is no particular significance in the design used. The black doughnut-shaped figures are called annulets. They are included because they also existed in the original coat of arms Mr. Lonsdale used. The colours are, of course, those long used as our school colours. In armory which is both an art form as well as a branch of heraldry we have to have a way of describing a coat of arms which will define very precisely the colours used and the type and arrangement of the various charges or devices as with the specifications of an architect or the prescription for a pharm acist. We do this using a rather interesting and picturesque language which sounds quaint because it is full of medieval English and French words and phrases. Such a description is called a blazon and you will find ours in the Letters Patent. I shall reproduce it here with present day English translation to help with the unfamiliar words. Quarterly Sable and Or on a bend wavy Gold between two Bugle Horns Sable stringed Gules as many annulets also Sable between three Maple Leaves Gules divided into four parts black and gold the diagonal is wavy and coloured gold they are black as in the first quarter the cords are red again two of them they are black as well the leaves are also red 30
