The John Bell Chapel This year proved to be one of in- novation within the chapel. The weekly sermon was often replaced by some other ex- pression of worship. Choral Eucharists, choral evensongs with visiting choirs, piano and organ recitals and totally student-conducted services were all a part of making the chapel a centre of activity on campus. The three visiting choirs in- troduced the students to music and choir standard enjoyed elsewhere. The highlight of the year was the visit in June of the choir of St. Simon-the-Apostle, noted for their many public ap- pearances and recordings. The introduction of Sunday ser- vices planned and conducted en- tirely by the students is un- doubtedly with us to stay. Each senior school house had one ser- vice to plan and organize during the year. By the third term, the potential had been discovered and a most thought provoking and moving conducted by Powell ' s House. The piano recital given by Mr. Leslie Mackett will long be remembered. His performance drew enthusiastic comments from those usually critical of ar- tistic endeavours and showed that the expression of such talent does indeed have a place in a worship setting. The chapel offerings were greatly increased and were set aside for the Tibetan Refugee Hospital in Mundgod, India. The school was able to relate to this project through the slide presen- tation given by Mr. Pullen in January and through the knowledge that one of the 1974 graduates spent some time there during the winter term. 81

Choir The Choir excelled itself in the Carol Services - there were three on account of attendance num- bers. There were a selection of old and new carols and solos sung by P. Stalder and C. Zahov- skis. The local Cablevision recorded a service of lessons and carols which was shown twice on Cable 10 during the Christmas week. On Sunday, May 25th, the choir made history in joining with Ridley College Choir for a first Independent School combined service. It went very well with the most glorious sound from the 60 voices in the Anthem I was glad by Parry for double choir, brass (Ridley boys), and organ. Next year we are hoping Ridley will come here. Anthems sung this year at Ap- pleby have been - Jesu, joy of man ' s desiring - Bach; Lead me Lord - Wesley; If ye love me - TF iEBLES Tallis; and Rejoice in the Lord always - Redford. C. Schmidt R.
