?i -» . This year the Christmas candle light service was, as so many in the past have been, a complete success. Where as we hear the usual school boy ' s cynical remarks before the service, it is interesting to note how little we hear afterwards. Of course there are always those who are much too clever for the services ' music and the friendly atmosphere that can only be found in chapels as apposed to churches, all combined to create nothing less than a very Christmas message, and those who ' s intellect is insulted and bored by the tradition. But eventually these boys grow up. The combination of candle-hght. pleasant hour and a half. And gauging by the fact we have to spend this hour and a half packed in like something resembling sardines bears witness that there are many people who share this feeling and come back every year without fail.

— Display Day Parents ' Day at Appleby changed this year for two reasons. First, the day was not set aside for just the parents, but for anybody in the community who cared to come. Also, Parents ' Day was incorporated with the cadet inspec- tion, which is much more conve- nient than the previous arrange- ment which consisted of two sepa- rate events. The morning was devoted to dis- plays in the classroom building, dining hall and rugby field. There was a minor film festival in the projection room; the features in- cluded a film about Appleby by the C.B.C., a film about Appleby by the students, and two Nor- thward Bound films. The History department was showing off its audio-visual equipment and teach- ing aids. The Mathematics display had a range of projects on view which ranged from complex to ab- solutely undecipherable in most people ' s minds. In the Chemistry lab were such displays as a model volcano and a mouse intelligence test (the female was smarter!). Bio- logy displays showed such things as animals, plants and living things which were neither flora nor fauna. The library also had displays, and the hard-working Argus staff had a display in the dining hall. The afternoon featured the Cadet Inspection. After the Cadets had been sufficiently scrutinized, they proceeded to show that there was more to the Cadet programme than marching. Displays and de- monstrations included shooting, archery and canoeing. The pre- North programme had a pot of brew ready for any victim ... er ... person to sample. Fortunately, the First Aid display was nearby. Parents, friends and even strang- ers to the school got a chance during the open house to see what actually goes on at Appleby; it is hoped that all of the work spent on preparations was appreciated. by Bob Maxtvell
