The Chapel Much activity has been going on in the Chapel this year, in- cluding a number of major changes in the regular worship services. Early in the fall term, the an- nual Harvest Thanksgiving Service was held, with the Chapel decorated with produce donated by a number of students. Reverends E. F. Miller and Keith deed also visited in the autumn and gave enjoyable sermons touching on a variety of subjects. The fall term ended with the Christmas Carol Service, and the performance of the choir was particularly good. The winter term was highlighted by a guitar recital given by Brian Stuart and Dave Piatt, and a musical presentation by Alasdair Halliday, Jim Maltner and Rob Cairns was well- received. In the spring. Father Kelly Walker came to the chapel and delivered an extremely in- teresting speech focussing on the topic Who am I? He also displayed his musical talents as he sang and played the piano to a tune that he himself had com- posed. Other activities in the Chapel this past year include a service conducted by five senior Lakefield boys, choral evensongs, house services, and addresses by the Chaplain and the Headmaster. Perhaps the most noteworthy change in the Chapel for everyone was the switching of the main service of the week from Sunday night to Thursday afternoon. The first Thursday service was held at the start of the spring term. The advantages of such a service are that all the boys in grade 6 and up, including day boys, can at- tend; in addition, one can have the full robed choir every week, and it is a follow-through for those boys who have been confirmed. From the students point of view, this experiment seemed to be a success, and we hope it will be considered for next year. All in all, it has been a very busy and productive year in the Chapel, and the prospects for next year look even brighter. Gordon Richards

finished fourth with a 3-2 won-lost record. However, one extra win would have vaulted Appleby to a first place finish. Whatever the result, the quality of debating was excellent. What Appleby lacked in numbers she made up for with extra determination. Hardly a weekend went past without one tournament (if not two) and the Society did quite creditably. Most notably, Graham Leggat and Steven Harmer finished first and third respec- tively at the Hamilton Regionals and went on to Kingston for the Provincials Final where they had a good time and placed well in a field of Ontario ' s top debaters. Not only did we participate widely in tournaments, but this year, under the guiding hand and gilded tongue of Richard WooUey, we entertained St. Mildred ' s Lightbourne School for a series of informal debates every Monday evening. These were a roaring success, and involved many of our younger and less experienced debaters in an enjoyable and less pressurefilled type of debating. Thank-you Richard and St. Milly ' s. Debating Tie holders were impressed with the year ' s triiunph and voted colours to Charles Stacey, Sean Baines and Richard WooUey for their efforts in this year and years past. 1978-79 promised to be no less fruitful than this year. Although graduates Alasdair Halliday, Charles Stacey and George Stott, members who have always done more that their share for the society, will be missing from our ranks, we expect to have a large number of Grade 13 debaters to replace them. There should be many enthusiastic Grade ll ' s who will now be able to par- ticipate in Senior Fulford Cup events and good support among Grade lO ' s. Perhaps best of all, we will have a bumper crop of Grade 9 debaters from the Junior School. The future indeed looks good for the Appleby Debating Society. Chris Thompson
