To all of us, the chapel Is the dearest thing In school. It gives to each girl a feeling which she Is not able to obtain In any other place. To keep our chapel clean and orderly, a group has been organized. Its duties Include dusting, changing the numbers on the hymn number boards, and arrang- ing flowers for the altar. The organization Is called the Altar Guild. It Is composed of eighteen girls, all of whom take pride In +he chapel and do the required duties with reverence. To make the work more Inter- esting, Miss Mahllns, from the St. Mark ' s Altar Guild, came to school to tell them of the meaning of certain church traditions and the different altar vessels. This gave the girls a better understanding of their work, and added to their enjoyment of it. 1 Inspiring work in fhe house of God. At the end of the year, each member of the Altar Guild can look back, knowing she has grown closer to God through her service. 28

STAHTING THE SCHOOL YEAR, On September I I, 1946, all was excitement at Rowland Hall as the new girls and their mothers were cordially welcomed by the faculty and the old girls at the annual Mother ' s and Daughter ' s Tea. All the girls were talking over old times, getting acquainted with each other and making plans for the new school year which began a few days later. Among the memorable events of the beginning of school were the trip to the Spruces at Brighton and the freshman Initiation. Then came the Hallowe ' en skits, which gave each girl a chance to display her hidden talents, and helped to develop class spirit and cooperation. At the Bazaar, many original Ideas were brought forth. It, too, was a great success. At Christmas time there were the usual parties and the dance — all of which everyone enjoyed. The annual Candle and Carol service In our chapel was very Inspiring and beautiful, and gave to each girl a feeling of serenity as she left for vacation. After mid-years, we went to Sun Valley for four days, and a hilarious time was had by all. The French play, the A. A. banquet, the Valentine dance and the Senior play followed soon after. In February and March; and In April came Spring Vacation, along with the realization that school would soon be out. Oh, joy? The Junior Prom, one of the highlights of any high school year, was a very lovely affair at Rowland Hall — one to be remembered and cherished by each girl attending for a long time to come. The class parties given by the sister classes were also fun, and helped promote a closer feeling between the girls of the differ- ent classes. The year was completed with Baccalaureate service, the Junior Skit, and finally Graduation. All In all. It was a year to be remembered with fond mem- ories and wonderful, lasting friendships. We had our ups and downs, but through the cooperation and love of all concerned, we pulled through and had an altogether splendid year. 30
