12 THE ASHBURIAN Our services have been brightened up considerably by our School Choir this term which is showing the results of regular prac- tices under Mr. Sibley's capable direction. We are pleased that Elmwood continues to visit us every other Sunday. As Tony Price has found he could not handle his duties as both a Prefect and Chapel Clerk, Donald Gardner has taken his place in t.he Chapel and Peter Lighthall has been appointed assistant. On 15th Dec., the last Sunday of the term a Candlelight Carol Service was held. The singing of the School Choir was a vast im- provement over last year, reflecting great credit on its members and Mr. Sibleyg particularly pleasing was the fine solo singing of Michael Gardner. The Chapel looked very beautiful lit by many candles and the whole service was most inspiring. CHAPEL 1
