NEW STAFF MR. LANCE BEAN We are pleased to welcome back Mr. Lance Bean. In 1974 he came to Shawnigan to set up the jazz and modern language program. Before he left in 1981 he had been Housemaster of Lonsdale ' s for 4 years and Groves ' for 1 year. After leaving Shawnigan, Mr. Bean spent a year developing his own music and language skills. Following this he worked at Brentwood in their music program. He is currently working with bands in both Shawnigan and Brentwood. His hobbies all revolve around music and his favourite author is Albert Carnus. He hopes the musicians in the band will get something more than just the music. Already the band program is picking up his beat in enthusiasm for coming concerts. We look forward to hearing what Mr. Bean can develop at Shawnigan and we wish him many happy years of success. D.

CHAPEL This has been a particularly active and successful year for the Chapel. Under the strong leadership and organization of Canon McClelland, the regular services have been spiced up, providing a thought provoking change from the rigours of daily routine. We have had many guest preachers visit this year including Father Leonard Rev. R. Atwell, and Chaplain Thornton of Brentwood College. All gave lively sermons which lent to the great spirit and enthusiasm shown at the services. A number of the staff members gave interesting addresses at the usual Wednesday morning services, on topics which ranged from the plights and perils of living as a modern monk, to the episcopacy of our church and the consecration of the new bishop, the Right Reverend R.F. Shepherd. The School met the Bishop for the first time at the annual confirmation service in March where 14 boys received the Laying on of Hands. Most generously Rev. Harry Houson now living in Victoria, has given of his time again this year to help at the Holy Communion services. Dr. John Madden spoke at this year ' s Founder ' s Day Service and paid tribute to our founder, C.W. Lonsdale by giving a few humorous anecdotes from the School ' s early days. Once again, the School supported Operation Eyesight, an organization concerned with restoring sight to the needy throughout the world. In excess of $2,500.00 was collected; the largest sum yet! The ' new ' Chapel choir has contributed much to the at- mosphere of its services. Under the direction of Mr. Fairbank they have achieved a harmonious sound - a long way from the joyful noises of September and October. The hard work culminated in a joint choral workshop and Evensong with Queen Margaret ' s School. It is hoped that this will become part of the traditions here at Shawnigan. We wish to thank Mrs. McClelland and Mrs. McCracken for the long hours spent making the beautiful flower arrangements each week. The flowers were greatly appreciated, as was the delicious year end barbecue at the McClellands ' for the Sacristans and Servers. Chapel has thrived well despite the ever-present conflict of a rapid paced lifestyle in a school with a few too many things to do all at once. Along with academia and the world of sport, the guidance and support of the Chapel must rank as a very valuable part of the total Shawnigan experience. S. Zens Grade 12 Senior Server and Crucifer 11
