TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 19 The Chaplain pointed out that we had only to look aroundus to find many such lessons which would remain unnoticed unless sought for and practised when found. THE SIR WILLIAM OSLER MEMORIAL SERVICE On the first Sunday of October, a memorial service was held in commemoration of the one hundredth armiver- sary of the birth of Sir William Osler, the School's first Head Boy. Relatives of Sir William, members of the Medi- cal Profession, and members of the Governing Body were present as well as many others, the Chapel was filled to over flowing. We were honoured to have as our guest speaker, Mr. Leonard Brockington. The Choir and School, with only a week's practice, sang Well during the service which was recorded by the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration. Part of the service, consisting mainly of Mr. Brockington's address, was re-broadcast the same night. CHOIR NOTES The Choir of 1948-49 can look back on a year of much hard work, excellent results, and a satisfying contribution to the life of the School. Don Deverall as Head Choir Boy and Norman as his counterpart in the J .S. both proved their worth and the writer gratefully acknowledges their ready and cheerful help. The Carol Service was the first event of importance to test the Choir's capabilities and it came through with musical honours. Four new carols were introduced, The Polish Carol , The Searching Carol , a Lullaby and a two part Treble number Villagers All This Frosty Tide , in addition, several other items previously used were included in a programme of varied interest. Comments on this service were most pleasing to all concerned.

QQ TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD The soloists were Andrew Croll, Bass, and Edmond Price, Treble. Sunday, February 20, a Choral Communion was celebrated as a memorial to the late Miss E. M. Smith, a valued matron at the School for many years who died just before Christmas. The Confirmation on Saturday, March 26. called for special music among which was the anthem Prevent Us O Lord by Herbert Brewer. The following morning a Choral Communion was held so that the candidates might receive the first communion and many of their parents received with them. The annual memorial service fell on Whitsunday this year, the first part being held in the Chapel. Elvey's memorial anthem The Souls Of The Righteous Are In The Hand Of God was sung. This was a truly devotional and beautiful effort by the choir, a fitting tribute to our Old Boys who died in both World Wars. The concert held in the Hall at the end of summer term always calls for the School Songs to be heard and this the Choir did with great enthusiasm. Andrew Croll with his pleasing bass and easy style of singing was the soloist in The School On The Hill . Prior to the concert, the Choir Boys were presented with Choir Pins in appreciation of all that they do land endurel during the year, we should like the kindly donor to know how much this gift was appreciated. The music on Speech Day was noticeably good, as it usually is: the thought of a successful year's work behind them-the excitement of the present with parents and friends present in the Chapel, and the prospect of summer holidays ahead-all helped to bring out the best in the boys for this important service. Their best was Well worth listening to, especially in the Twenty-Third Psalm set to a chant by Walford-Davies and also in Tschai- kowsky's anthem O Blessed And Ever Gracious Lord . We should like to say how grateful we are to the
