An event of interest to the School family took place on November l5th., when John Pearson VVilson, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Wilson. was baptized in the Chapel. During the year we were pleased to welcome a number of visiting clergymenethe Rev. A. YV. Golhner, the Rev. Canon H. Jones, the Rev. Angus Cameron of Lundavra, the Right Rev. Henry D. Martin, the Rev. Doctor XV. E. Ashley and the Rev. R. C. Mortinier, R.C.N. It is the Chaplains opinion that not only is it good for the School to receive visits from such clergymen, but it also reminds us that the services of the Chapel are part of the services of the Church in the world. During the year Holy Communion has been celebrated once each month. The School also made three visits to Evensong at St. Lukels Parish Church, thus maintaining a connection of more than fifty years between Parish and School. Finally, our thanks go to all who have helped in any way with the Chapel Services, and the preparation for special Services during this past year. The officers were as follows: Chapel Prefer! P. C. Wlilde Verger A. R. Hunter Saerisfan T. C. Fields Clzaplairfr PVarden T. MCK. Inglis Selzoofs IfVam'eiz R. D. Chaworth-Musters C. E. F. W.

THE CHAPEL While it is impossible to estimate the influence of the Chapel Ser- vices on the life of the School, yet, unquestionably, its central position in the school ground, the fact that it was built by the labour of the boys themselves and the interest that so many of them have in its various activities leave one with the assurance that those who saw the vision of a worthy Chapel, and who put their plans into execution, hbuilded better than they knewf, Sunday, lXfIay 20th., l962, is a day that will be long remembered in the history of the School, especially when the third Sunday in May, each year, is kept to commemorate the consecration of the building. The past School Year saw several Services worthy of record:- Cn Sunday, Oct. 8th., our Harvest Festival Thanksgiving was cele- brated. The Chapel was beautifully decorated by the boys, many gifts of flowers and fruit were received and a great Service was held in which the School and a number of parents joined in thanksgiving for the bounty of Harvest and the other worthwhile things of life. On Sunday, Nov. 8th., we held the Annual Service of Remembrance, when, as has been customary for many years, the Headmaster read Captain Harvey's letter to the School, and called the Roll of those who gave their lives in the Wlorld Wars and Korea. Memorial wreaths were offered by present and old boys of the School, and were received at the Altar by the Chaplain. On Sunday, Dec. l3th., we held our annual Carol Service, The Festival of the Nine Carols. The Lessons were read by the Head- master, Mr. W. R. G. Wenman, lXIr. I. Mugridge, lXfIr. R.

It was indeed a Christmas Service that will be remembered for a long time to come. On Sunday, Jan. 24., we honoured the memory of the late Sir Winston Churchill at a School Memorial Service. On Sunday, May l6th., the School Choir, augmented by members of the Choirs of Christ Church Cathedral, St. Mary's, Oak Bay, and St. Johnis, all under the direction of lNIr.
