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

Carol Service L !»i «B»« iWi A snowy December night. The trees sigh as a brisk North wind whirls around them. Inside the Chapel, however, a sanctuary is offered from the chill of winter. Bathed in flickering candlelight the congregation sits attentively- restlessness tempered by the spirit of Christmas. This annual event- so capably managed by Mr. Stuart and Mr. Royse- marks the school ' s passage into the Christmas season. Now, the choir sings. The strain spreads out through the soft atmosphere. Along vdth selected readings and prayers, these songs carry with them the true character of the season. All too soon, however, this, the last of several such services, comes to a close. Coats rustle as the people prepare to go. The Chapel doors open. Each person, though, is warm as he walks out into the frosty air. CoJin Richards • ' mmamnr ' m ' mrmmm
