If you were to ask a Rowland Hall graduate just what feature of the school stands out in her mind, the probable answer would be, The chapel service in the morning. Our lovely chapel provides a moment of repose and meditation before beginning the day ' s work, and this short service soon becomes indispen- sable to all of us. In order to keep our chapel lovely at all times, a group of girls is given the responsibility of cleaning and preparing it for each service. This organization is called the Altar Guild. The performance of small tasks, such as arranging the numbers and polishing the brass, is not considered a duty, but rather, a privilege. The girls do their work each morning because they want to, and with this thought of individual contribu- tion and interest, the chapel service means even more to the school. Several times during the year our beloved bishop meets with the members of the Altar Guild and talks to them about the meaning behind the church, and the chapel furnishings. In this way each girl knows just what significance her contri- bution has in enriching the religious life of the school. 28

STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR September came and Rowland Hall girls greeted the coming school year with high spirits and the de- termination to meet their set goals. After lapsing into the routine of school life, initiation introduced the many exciting activities to take place in the coming year. Then the excursion to Brighton came and all the girls set out with their camping equipment and, despite the many hardships, a good time was had by all. The Halloween skits brought out many original ideas and hidden talents. Christmas came on with parties, secrets and the inevitable Christmas dance. Our Rowland Hall Candle and Carol Service was giv- en and was a most beautiful climax to the old year. We all came back from the Christmas holidays ready to face the new year and mid - year exams. Rowland Hall was right on top with patriotism — we topped our bond quota and entertained the boys of the A.S.T.R.P., and entered into many other helpful projects with eagerness. April came with spring vacation, and we returned to school to finish our last quarter, hardly believing the school year was almost ended. The A. A. Banquet was a huge success amid the ghostly but humorous costumes of the annual dinner, the theme of which was this year based on HORROR! The rest of the year was full of class parties, the Junior Prom, and plans for graduation. This final inspiring service of our year of activities is one of joys, tears, anticipations, and small regrets. It hardly seems possible that our seniors have left their alma mater so soon to attend various colleges. However, we remind our- selves that we are a year older, and are striving for higher aims and goals to meet during our next year at Rowland Hall. 30
