John Bell Chapel With a new organist - choirmaster, and one hundred new boys, the daily chapel services were modified. Two singing practices a week allowed us to learn new hymns and improve our singing of old ones. This also gave Mr. Royse the chance to write (and us to sing) modern music for the canticles and some of the hymns. The two films on science and faith and the candlelight services provided inspiration. Another enjoyable innovation has been the series of talks on parts of the church building, the prophets, and the Chinese church. During the year the following guests spoke in the chapel: The Rev. K. Paterson The Rev. G. M. Anderson The Rev. Canon F. A. Smith The Rev. Father M. Peterkin Captain D. Patstone The Rev. M. Esterbrooks The Rev. G.D. Watt Mr. F.E. Gaebelein The Rev. ¥.. Miller The Rev. Dr. J. A.M. Bell On Nov. 26, 1972 The Bishop, The Right Rev. W.E. Bagnall, Administered Confirmation to: Andre Jean Rachmaninoff Gregory Murray Raeburn Hogarth James Denbigh Lloyd Jeanpierre Rachmaninoff Peter Eraser Cutler Peter Murray Colls Stephen William Roloff The following were united in Holy Matrimony during the year: Eric Ellis Windder and Aldona Eismantes Dwight Douglas Lunau and Cynthia Ann Pearson James Edward David Adams and Deborah Jane Ostrom Frederick Thomas Smye and Marti Diane Adams William John McLean and Dianne Lynne Baillie Gary Muirhead Bo and Linda Tomosky The following were baptized: Jeffrey Campbell Stone Andrew Robert Nightingale Exchange Student During the spring term Appleby and Shawnigan Lake School in British Columbia each exchanged a student. Buzz Green went to Shawnigan and Ian Hyde-Lay came to Appleby. Ian was in Grade 10, a friendly, talkative, well-liked chap who quickly became an exuberant part of Appleby. He was a very valuable participant in many rugger games and as an old pro at the sport found the caUbre of our rugger teams impressive. The standard of school work in both the schools was in his opinion about the same and he had little difficulty in fitting in. Perhaps Ian best summed up the feelings of himself and those who met him here: 1 made new friends and found the exchange an exciting and valuable experience.

First Team Cricket M A i I K FRONT ROW: Dickens I, Casperd, Mann I, Mullen, Christensen, Sims. BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, MacFarlane 1, Suchanek, Merritt, MacFarlane II, Kaunas, Mr. Menzies. It was thought that this was going to be one of those Championship seasons, the sort that comes along once every decade. However, these pre -season speculations came to naught. The talent was there in the fielding, with five good bowlers. The trouble arose when we had to bat. We lacked good attacking batsmen and this was reflected in our highest score of the season of 85 runs. Much thanks must be given to our coach, Mr. Menzies. We regret that we were unable to do any better this season, his last at Appleby . Colours were given to A.B. Mann, Captain; CO. Casperd, Asst. Capt. ; G. O. Dickens and D.K. Mullen.. The Oakville Cricket Club prizes for best batting and bowling averages went to C.J. Merritt and G. O. Dickens respectively. G.O. Casperd was chosen to play for the Independent Schools All -Star Team against the Toronto Cricket Club.
