8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD The music on Speech Day is of course the climax of a year of hard work and the boys quite excelled themselves in Stanford's setting of the 150th Psalm and Walford- Davies' setting of Psalm 23. The anthem chosen was O Brother Man by Shaw. A new hymn was used for the first time at this service, particularly appropriate for the boys who were leaving, Go Forth with God . The service closed with the very moving School Leaving Hymn, And Now With Thanks- giving . Prior to the end of term concert at which the School songs were sung with great gusto, pins were presented to all the choir boys as a gift from Mr. Britton Osler whose generosity and kindly thought is much appreciated.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7 REWARDS On Sunday, October 7, the Chaplain spoke to the School using as his text, the Parable of the Talents. He pointed out that it is of great value to us as it is an important Christian belief. In the parable we see that the master did not give to each servant an equal number of talents, but as he saw fit. Then one day the master called for an account of what had been done with the money and each servant was rewarded in proportion to his due. In life at first there is an unequal distribution of what We consider valuable. But at the end we are called upon to give an account of our stewardship of the Lord's gifts. In closing, the Canon said that we will be rewarded by God in relation to the use we have made of God's gifts to us. i1 .. -.l CHOIR NOTES The past year has been a most gratifying one for the choir, on all occasions that the choristers were called upon to supply special music, the boys excelled themselves-first of all at the laying of the corner stone of the new chapel and then at the Carol Service. The latter program was interesting and varied and quite outstanding was the treble solo by Orval Reis. Adamson and Osler as assisting soloists Were most pleasing. In due course followed the Confirmation Service at which the choir sang the Veni Creator and Elgar's Anthem, Jesu Meek and Low1y , with Reis 'singing the solo very beautifully. 'The Memorial Service on Trinity Sunday was a great success and attended by a large congregation of visitors. The choir sang Elvey's memorial Anthem, The Souls of the Righteous Are in the Hand of God , and after the service in the chapel proceeded to the Cross for the most impressive part of the Service.

TRINITY COIJIJEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9 THE SERVICE OF CONSECRATION OF THE MEMORIAL CHAPEL Sunday, October 21, 1951, Trafalgar Day, will live long in the memories of many T.C.S. people for on that day our new Memorial Chapel was consecrated and the first services were held in it. At eight o'clock the new Chapel bell rang for the first time and a service of Holy Communion was celebrated by the Right Rev. L. W. B. Broughall V88-'94J assisted by the Right Rev. R. J. Renison C89-'92J and the Chaplain. The day's formal proceedings began at 10.15 a.m. when His Excellency, the Governor General and Lady Alexander, accompanied by an aide and a lady-in-waiting, arrived at the salufting base, south of the Junior School. The Head- master greeted them and introduced them to some of the senior members of the Governing Body. Master Timmy Tottenham then presented a corsage- to Lady Alexander. The Corps then gave the royal salute and His Excellency inspected the ranks. Wings were given to Spencer and Dolph and after the march past, the Governor General ex- pressed himself as being much impressed with the steadi- ness and efficiency of the boys on parade. The Vice-Regal party then walked across the fields to the Memorial Cross and on to the Lodge, the boys did a quick change into their blue suits. At ten minutes to eleven, the procession was formed in the old Chapel, it was led by Norman Seagram, the Crucifer, followed by the 60 members of the choir in their blue cassocks and surplices. Then came ten members of the clergy, followed by Bishop Renison, Bishop Broughall, the Bishop of Toronto's Chaplain, the Rev. Terence Crosth- Wait and Bishop Beverley. Behind this procession came the Governors and other distinguished people including the Vice Regal party. There were, altogether, some 120 people in the procession. During the ringing of the 'Chapel bell it wound its way from the old Chapel doors, along the road- way to the new Memorial Chapel, when the choir reached
