Chapel Services When the bell rings at 10:30. students stream out of the various class rooms and into the chapel for the daily chapel service. This iS the brightest hour of the day. The strong, youthful voices blend in some inspiring, evangelical song. A passage from the Bible is read by a member of the faculty, and then all heads are bowed in prayer and thanksgiving. About twice a week some speaker is invited to address the school. One morning a week the occasion is mainly a song service, directed by Mr. Burns, the head of our music department. The chapel services are a constant inspiration to both students and teachers. Among the large number of speakers who have addressed the school at chapel services are these: Rev. T. J.
