The John Bell Chapel Activity was the key word in the Chapel this year. The innovations of last year were continued where the regular services are interspersed with recitals, visiting choirs and plays. During the fall term, a most unusual sermon was given by the Rev. Ralph Spence which cen- tred on the moral, social and religious considerations taken into account in the development of national flags and heraldic symbols. The Rev. Spence is himself an authority on heraldry, being one of the two consultants of the Canadian Government. A further highlight of that term proved to be the Thanksgiving Service where numerous boys contributed vast quantities of produce for decoration. A ' home- and-away ' series took place bet- ween our own chaplain and the chaplain of Lakefield College School, The Rev. Keith Gleed (an old boy of Appleby.) The reaction of the boys to Keith certainly suggests that this should become an annual exchange. The Candlelight Service, with the theme of Canadian Christmas, was once again the most at- tended occasion. The winter term saw the boys of the Junior School produce a Medieval Miracle Play under the direction of Mr. Bob Snowden. It is debatable whether the school was more impressed with the production, which was highly commendable, or the title of the play - A Woman Taken in Adultery . The main speaker during this term was Fr. Kelly Walker, now a regular visitor to the chapel. Fr. Walker ' s ability to communicate with the spoken word and the singing of his own compositions will always gain admiration from the boys. The term was truly completed when the singing of the Kingsway Sym- phonic Choir from Kingsway College in Oshawa left the whole school spellbound. The highlight of the spring term was undoubtedly the return of Mr. Leslie Mackett (staff 1974 75) who once again caught the imagination of the boys with a classical recital on the piano. The remainder of the term was taken up with a sermon by the Headmaster, sermons by the Chaplain, and our own Choir. The most encouraging aspect of chapel life is the positive response shown by so many of the boys. That, plus the in- creasing number of parents and visitors who attend help to make the Chapel both an active and vital part of campus life. . I.G.S.

Choir Four carol services? Yes, it has come to this and it looks as though it will stay this way while the school numbers remain high. The theme this year was Canadian Christmas . Solos were sung by C. Zahovksis, J. Manning and P. Stalder. Once again, Oakville Cable 10 televised selections of the ser- vice on Christmas Eve. The choir sang a Choral Even- song at Hamilton Cathedral on Jan. 25th. The weather was ap- palling, and because of this the congregation was poor but we sang well with the Magnificat and Jubilate Deo of Mr. Royse and the anthem Lead me Lord by Wesley with solos by T. Shaw and P. Stalder, We then sang a short recital of anthems which in- cluded Jesu, Joy of Man ' s desiring by Bach, settings of Ave Verum by Mozart and Elgar, Venite by D. Swann and Amazing Grace arranged by Mr. Royse. Besides the above pieces, an- thems sung this year have been: Enrich us with thy goodness - Bach Bitter was the night and Friday morning - Carter This joyful Eastertide - Wood Come ye Servants of the Lord -Tye Give us the wings of faith - Bullock Greater Love hath no Man - Ireland Stanford in B Flat, Evening Ser- vice with the Whole School taking part. The chapel also had a visit from the Kingsway Symphonic Choir who showed us what real singing is. TREBLES D. Copestick N. McConnell P. McQuhae A. Krempulec P. Rolin G. Marshall M. Duncan M. Wilson K.
