And finally we feel bound to say a very special word of thanks to this year's prefects whose reading of the daily Lessons has been quite outstanding.. THE MCDTI-lER'S GUILD L'RINu this year the Nlothers' Guild again fulfilled a very useful function in the school. We would like to thank this organization for the time and energy spent on our behalf. The work of the Mothers' Guild consists mainly of organizing various projects, the money from which is given to the school in the form of gifts, prizes, or cash. This year the Guild held the animal clothing sale, a tea and home-cooking sale. They also served lunch at the Old Boys' Reunion. Their donations included a credence cup- board for the chapel, cups for the Swimming Meet, prizes for the best dormitories, money to pay for band instruments, and four hundred dollars to go towards bursaries. Once again, our sincerest thanks for these benefits. MUSIC N appreciation of great music is usually not acquired without some effort. The most a teacher can do is create the proper atmosphere. and lead the students to sense the spirit and beauty of music. It is our desire in the music classes of the junior School at Ashbury College to provide a standard by which the students may evaluate the good, or better, and the best in good music and develop a love for it. The Rhythm Band, recorders, and a systematic course of listening are extended throughout the year. MEN AT VVORK Passy, Pyefinch, Thomas

12 THE ASI-IBURIAN CHAPEL NQTES URING the year the regular weekday and Sunday services have been carried on as usual. In addition there have been two Cor- porate School Communion Services, one on All Saints' Day and the other on Ascension Day. A number of distinguished visitors whose sermons have given us much food for thought includes the following: FXL The Rev. D. G. Madill, Chaplain of the Rockcliffe Air Station, The Rev. Roland Bodger, Rector of St. Cuthbert's Church, Montreal, The Venerable Archdeacon C. G. Hepburn, formerly Rector of All Saints Church, Ottawa, and The Venerable Archdeacon C. Anderson, Clerical Secretary of the Diocese of Qttawa. Also we have derived much profit from sermons by Mr. A. D. Brain, Mr. L. H. Sibley and the Headmaster. On Tuesday, March 13th., the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, the Rt. Rev. E. S. Reed, M.A., D.D. confirmed the following candidates in the Chapel: john Budden, Ian Cameron, Ian Carr-Harris, Rudolph Dankwort, VVilliam Eakin, john Elmslie, Victor Fascio, Richard Fidler, George Hazell, Garnet Hazell, Michael Heenan, Richard Hutcheon, john Lake, Malcolm Lindsay, Malcolm McDonell, Gilbert Molloy, Christopher Murphy, Frank Pretula, Danny Pretula, Eric Rice, john Sarkis and Guy Thorne. Two others, Colin Cantlie and David Gauthier who were ill at the time of the Bishopls visit were conhrmed a few weeks later in St. Columba's Church, Manor Park. Towards the end of the VVinter Term the Prefects held their annual Service. The Office of Morning Prayer was read by the Head Boy, L. Nl. Killaly, the Lesson by M. lViddrington and the Sermon was delivered by Terry Finlay. XV H. Birbeck played the organ. All of these young men are to be highly commended for the effective way in which each of them carried out his function. Our Chapel has been enhanced by the provision of two new furnishings. One, a Sanctuary Lamp, the gift of Lt. Cdr. B. C. and Xlrs. llamilton, and the other a Credence Cupboard of pleasing design made by Nlr. Chris. Herbert. This serves as a Credence Table and a rtorage place for the Sacred Vessels and small Altar Linens. The Sanc- ruarf. lamp was dedicated at the Old Boys' Service in the Fall Term and the flredence Cupboard by the Bishop at the time of the Confir- lll2ll'IUlT. 'lhe Chapel services can only be carried on with the help of those who perform necessary functions, some of them behind the scenes. XYe would like to thank our Urganist and Choirmaster, Mr. Sibley and Ins able assistant, Nlr. Snelgrove, the choir, the chapel clerks,
