chapel 1951-1952 HAT PURPOSE noEs oUR CHAPEL FILL in the lives of Pickering students? l Certainly it does not serve as a substitute for morning worship in one of the neighbourhood churches. No, our chapel services are meditative meet- ings which aim to stimulate thoughts - thoughts that are such an integral part of the present and future in the life of youth. Pickering chapel services always begin with silent meditation - an idea borrowed from the Quaker founders of the school. These meetings offer us the opportunity to exercise our minds, and to open up visions of a world-wide brotherhood which we can see in embryo in our own small community. In our efforts to get along together here we find the same basic problems as we shall find in the world at large. We have been given inspiring addresses on brotherhood, Sociology of Religion, world problems and the immediate problems of youth, by guest speakers, staff and student committee. This year we had the pleasure of hearing again Rabbi Feinberg of Holy Blossom Temple, Rev. Richard Jones, the Secretary of the United Council of Christians and Jews, Don Graham of Forest Hill Collegiate, George Gray of the Depart- ment of Education, Alex Sim, an old boy, Hy Mosey, an old staff member, Rev. Mc-Cleary and Dr. Carl Bernhart. Mr, Hugcmfs f'h1'istmr1S Chapel Set Fourlcen
