For days beforehand we had watched the preparations, every morning finding a tree newly lit up or a different arrangement of the choir benches. Although everyone was kept busy with frequent choir practices or rehearsals of the cast, of course no one felt quite prepared on the day. The choir, voices cleared with sour lemons, compliments of Mrs. Birse, filed in carrying lighted candles. The pageant accompanied by background music from the choir, followed a recital of carols. The service was lit only by the lights of the Christmas trees and a spirit of the season remained with those who had seen it long after the closing prayer. It marked a happy ending to the first term. Boarders and day- girls alike headed homeward for Christmas vacation. Udaakagwurq On October 7th, parents and friends of the school gathered in the gymnasium, which was decorated in the traditional harvest home theme Wadham, M. Kendall, ABSENT: J. Histed. with pumpkins, squash, marrow and sheaves of grain, for a Thanksgiving service. The service included a litany and hymns of praise. The Senior Choir sang 'Praise to the Lord'. Miss Murrell-Wright gave a short talk on 'Opportunities of Useful service to Others'. The service closed with the singing of 'O Canada'. Aww One of the most popular projects of the choir this year was the making of a record to send to Miss Murrell-Wright. It included a side of Christmas songs and another of various favorites ranging from Triumph, Thanksgiving, Blessing and Honour to The New Jerusalem. Copies were available also for choir members and anyone else who wished to buy one. I'm sure that choir members feel entirely recompensed for all those extra practices and I would sincerely like to thank Mrs, Birse and Mrs. Belyea for all the effort they put into this record and all the work they have done for the choir services this year. lane Thomas Head of Choir
