THE SCHOOL CHAPEL This report begins on a note of profound tliaiikfulness that. at a time of shrill controversy over the merits of this and that type ofeducation. here at our school we quietly pursue in Chapel a well-ordered round ofChristian instruc- tion and praise. Can anyone in these days of crumbling values and traditions seriously doubt the worth of solemn as- semblies of young people. all intent on hearing the Word that gives moral enlightenment and spiritual understanding? How uplifting it is to think ofthe many old boys who still recall with affection and wonder the gracious influence of the Chapel: how encouraging also to dream of those who in years to come will likewise find here inspiration and stren- gth. Our Commencement Service in September was more crowded than ever. After some experimentation, the seating problem was eased by placing some prefects in the area near the sanctuary. Our services and assemblies, therefore, have taken place with the accustomed dignity and calm. On October the Jftli. the school observed the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. and the chaplain gave a short address. On the previous day. we celebrated the an- nual Harvest Festival, and the Reverend T. Davies, Head of English, preached the sermon. ln the following month. on the 10th November. we held our Remembrance Service, and the guest speaker was the Reverend john Travis, Minister of the Centennial United Church in Victoria. There will surely be many of our boys. whose memories perforce do not stretch back to either of the Great Wars, who will remember his words. During the course of these Remembrance cere- monies. a memorial tablet was dedicated in honour ofthe late Mr. R. H. B. Ker. a former Governor and Benefactor of the school. Q It is pertinent to record here that Mr. Ker served in the First World War with No. 24 Squadron of the old Royal Flying Corps, and he took part in the first battle ofthe Somme and faced the German fighter-ace, Baron von Richtofen. J Last Post and Reveille were sounded by Trumpeter Corporal G. Fiorin of the 5th Field Battery. R. C. A. Cadet Corps. Wreaths were then presented at the alter by David Cousins, jeff Spencer and Stephen Dancey. Another significant occasion took place on Sunday 6th February. when the Right Reverend R. J. Pierce came to administer the rite of Confirmation. Five boys were confirmed: Gordon Peter Cuckovich David Antony Gurr james Beaufort Ross Ronald Campbell Stuart Willem Arie Vanderspek On Sunday, the 13th March. we were honoured by the presence in Chapel of Mr. Lionel Dakers, Director of the Royal School of Church Music at Addington Palace in England. He kindly addressed the boys at Morning Service. In the month of May. several important events took place in Chapel. On the 8th May, a Memorial Service was held for the late Mr. Eric H. Quainton, who for many years was a devoted member ofthe school's teaching staff. In the pre- sence of a large congregation of former students and friends of the school, a memorial plaque was dedicated by the chaplain. Mr. john Nation, formerly Chairman of the Board of Governors, delivered the eulogy. Archdeacon H. Dowker after conveying a message of sympathy from the Bishop of the diocese of British Columbia, said the final prayers and gave the blessing. On the 19th May, we observed Ascension Day as usual. and our preacher was Fr. Philip Hanley. Rector of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Victoria. We acknowledge here our gratitude for his inspired address. The service was also note- worthy for the sacred solo sung by our Head Boy, David Cousins. On Whitsunday, the 29th May, Morning Service was arranged and conducted by the boys themselves. David Cousins read the Service: Marcus Endean said the prayers: Harry Cubbage and Patrick Blair read the lessonsg the organist was David Hamilton: and the sermon, the text of which is printed below, was preached by john Kayll. To complete this report, the final word must be one of gratitude to the Chapel Officers for duties well and persever- ingly performed: Patrick Blair, Verger and Chapel Prefect: Marcus Endean, Headmaster's Warden: and Harry Cubbage, Chaplain's Warden. C.D.B Boys' Sunday: 29th May, 1977. Sermon preached in Chapel by john Kayll. Grade 12.
