NIR. H.Xt6.kN'S Ciiicls'rM.xs CHAPICL SlC l'. 1952. chapel 1952-53 GAIN 'rms YEAR the staif, student committee and guest speakers have made a worthy contribution to the Pickering Community. They have given their thoughts, their knowledge and their beliefs, with the hope that the Pickering Student will at all times carry with him a faith in life. Uutstanding chapel services this year were the Candlelight Christmas service and the Easter service. This does not lessen by any means the importance or the value of the twenty-four other services in which we were given a variety of profound thoughts and beliefs. Our guest speakers this year were Michael Hind-Smith of the Vnited Nations, Dr. C. XV. Sowby of llpper Canada College, Rabbi Solomon F. Kleinman, Mr. Donald Graham, Dr. Cr. P. Gilmour, President of McMaster University, Mr. J. A. Robarts, Mr. Ed. Mitchell, Dr. K. S. Bernhardt, Professor Ri. S. Harris, Reverend Ray McCleary, Mr. Roy Dilworth and Reverend Richard Jones. We are deeply indebted to these men and to our Headmaster and staff for making our visions clearer and our minds more alert. The Pickering student will remember the chapel services at the College. The unique manner of worship at this school will be appreciated in years to come. The knowledge obtained from Pickering Chapel services will cling to the memory of all those who have been associated with the school. Eighteen
