Craig, President of the Montreal Old Boys' Association, and Mr. lf. N. Rhodes, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Governors assisted at the Ceremony. The Old Boys' Chapel service was held on Sunday, Nov. 12th. At this service, Nlr. D. K. MacTavish, O.B.L1., K.C., Chairman of the Board of Governors read the lesson and the sermon was preached bv the Founder. i On the last Sunday evening of the Fall Term, we had our Annual Candlelight Carol Service. At this time, the Choir made its first appear- ance in their new robes which had been made by the Mother's Guild. The attendance at this service was so great that the service was repeated for the boys who could not attend on XYednesday, Dec. Zlst. As usual, the Chapel was lit entirely by Candlelight. The Choir sang some new carols which we had not heard before, and the congregation joined in the ever fresh, old familiar ones. On March 19th, we held our Annual Confirmation Service con- ducted by the Lord Bishop of Ottawa. Assisting him were the Founder, Canon XVoollcombe, Rev. A. T. Carson, Rector of St. Bartholomews, Rev. VV. D. Christie, Rector of All Saints', Rev. C. Anderson, Diocesan Secretary who acted as the Bishops Chaplain, and our own Chaplain. Mention of this service is made elsewhere in the magazine. On May 28th, the Cadet Corps paraded with the Governor General's Foot Guards to Christ Church Cathedral. During the season of Lent, the Chaplain gave a series of short addresses on XVednesday mornings based on the Collect for the Week. VVe have been pleased to note the increase in the number of Parents and visitors at our Services. Elmwood has also attended quite regularly, and we are delighted to have them. Immediately after Easter, Elmwood presented us with two new Altar Vases which were dedicated on Sunday, April 22nd by the Chap- lain. At this time we were also pleased to have a Processional Cross dedicated. This Cross was made by Mr. XV. T. Sibley, the father of our Organist. Mention is made elsewhere in this issue of the Choir, but at this point we should say that their singing has improved greatly, and has added much to the brightness, and colour of our services. The Chapel Staff who have been responsible for the eflicient operation of the Chapel have been the Chaplain, with Nlr. L. H. Sibley as Organist and Choirmaster, and Allan McCulloch. senior Chapel Clerk, and Pierre LeBoutillier and XYilliam Lee asa.-Xssistant Chapel Clerks.
