THE CHAPEL Punctually at 3:00 p.1n.. on Sunday. May 20th, the Rfost Rev. Harold Sexton, n.n.. Archbishop of British Columbia. knocked on the closed door of the Chapel with his Pastoral Staff. XVith the traditional words of blessing and greeting. Peace be to this House , the Service of Dedication began. So the many weeks and months of toil and care came to fruition, and all those masters and boys who had laboured on the project felt at that moment an understandable pride in the measure of their achievement. For the First time since the foundation of the School in 1906 scholars and staff could worship together in their own Chapel. The writer had vivid memories of the feverish enthusiasm of boys in the early stages of construction - of hordes of grubby youths clearing rubble and debris. cleaning ancient bricks, raising timbers. climbing precarious scaffolding to dizzy heights and working away in the leisure hours from the sheer love of something perceptibly greater and better than themselves. How Mr. Logan. our incomparable Foreman of Works, controlled this turbulent labour force and productively har- nessed its energy will forever be a mystery. But on that brilliant Sun- day in May, as the distinguished visitors took their asfigned places in the Chapel, a feeling of quiet satisfaction perceptibly rippled through the School ranks-the organization held together and everything clicked into place-the School Governors arrived- the Lieutenant- Governor of the Province took his seat accompanied by Viscount Amory, British High Commissioner in Canada-the Clergy entered- finally the Archibishop began: S'Peace be to this House .... To record every detail of the Service in this space would be an im- possible task. The actual text, however, was set out most handsomely in permanent booklet form, and we are indebted to Mr. Adrian Green- bank, our Art Master, for his supervision of its printing and design. Every boy received a copy as a fitting memorial of the day's events. Gur thanks also are due to every member of the Chapel Building Committee, to the Chairman, Mr. Creek, to Mr. Prowse, our fund- raising expert, and to the Chapel Wardens, Mr. Caleb and Mr. Mug- ridge, for their meticulous staff work in directing the processions and seating arrangements. Mention must also be made of E. Mousel. who was appointed Verger, and D. I. Chapman, who acted as Crucifer for the great Ceremony. But perhaps the greatest tribute must be paid to the boys who had no official parts to play -the vigour and manliness of their responses as the Archbishop dedicated the ornaments and furniture surprised many of the visitors We shall recall the thrill of being submerged in a sea of sound produced by youth singing with gusto and enjoyment. Of all the many memories of this day, however, we must gratefully note, first, the Dedication Address delivered by Dean Swanson, one- time Chaplain of the School. In a sermon packed with topical allusions, and meaty with the wisdom of a seasoned campaigner, his suggested title for the Chapel, '4The Chapel of the Carpenter . will long be cherished by the boys. Secondly, however, we must place on record our gratitude to His Grace the Archbishop for the sympathy with 15
