Dedication “Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” The expression of music as a form of worship towards God, is one which must be carefully developed and trained. You, Mr. Aikenhead, have offered us that training. Through your patience, the desire has been born within us to worship our Lord and Maker with a song in our hearts and praise upon our lips. Through your sensitivity of expression, we have wept in the rememberance of Christ’s agonies, we have become hushed with the reality of His Presence, we have rejoiced in His might and glory. Never will time erase from our memories the panorama of Christ’s life as the Lord has enabled you to interpret Handel’s Messiah to us. Our hearts truly cry, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain”. Surely such vibrant worship, depth of spiritual insight, dynamic Christian expression, is the outpouring of a soul in intimate communion with his Lord. We thank God, Mr. Aikenhead, for the song He has placed within your heart. And we thank you, for your willingness to return this gift to the Giver of gifts. Through you, He has taught us Worship. In deep appreciation, The Student Body
