Corporate communions were held for the students and staff on Ash XX'ednesday, All Saints' Day, and Ascension Day. This year there were two Servers' Services. On these occasions the servers conduct the entire service with the exception of the absolution and the benediction. which, of course, is given by the chaplain. At the November 6 service, Peter Gillean preached on Spiritual Discipline , and on February 26, Chris Bodger preached on Why I Am an Anglican . One of the most colourful and, as the chaplain remarks, history making services in the chapel this year was the Confirmation Service on Nlay 9th. ln addition to the twenty-six boys from Ashbury and two boys from St. Bartholomews, three girls from Elmwood were also con- firmed. The rite of Conlirmation was administered by the Rt. Rev.

20 THE ASI-IBURIAN Un the night of the Confirmation, Chris Bodger, Colin Cantlie, and Robert Dickson were presented with servers' medallions by Bishop Reed for outstanding service. The Choir has prospered these last two years under the leadership of Mr. Godfrey Hewitt, F.R.C.O., and of Mrs. H. S. Dalton, chapel organist. The Choir has continued, more than ever, to add dignity and beauty to the weekly services. The choir boys have visited St. Bartholomew's church in New Edinburgh, and Christ Church Cathedral here in Ottawa. They should be noted for the rare excellence of their performance at these and at the Christmas and Easter Carol services. The boys have done a really splendid job, and deserve a great deal of Credit. Special thanks are due to Messrs. Sibley and Snelgrove, organists, in the daily services, and to Mr. Beetensen, Lay Reader, as Well as to Mr. Hewitt and Mrs. Dalton. Choir mothers Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Thurston also deserve our thanks for their work witj the choir, and we mustn't forget the chapel clerks, Letch, Keffer, and Pottinger, loyal and efficient Hdoorkeepers in the House of the Lord .
