The Choir One of the greatest pleasures and privileges that can come to a Rowland Hall student is that of being one of the twenty girls who make up our choir. The choir sings at the daily chapel services, which are among the most cherished memories of a Rowland Hall girl. One of the deepest satisfactions that a choir member can have is in the realization that she is contributing to the beauty of these inspirational services. Both the choir and the school owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Florence Brown Hoffer, our organist and director. Mrs. Hoffer’s patience, encouragement, and wealth of musical knowledge make possible the achievements of the choir. In addition to the daily chapel services, the choir also participates in the traditional Christmas Candle and Carol Service and in the Baccalau- reate Service, both of which take place in St. Margaret’s Chapel. Twice during the year, at the Easter Choral Eucharist and at the Commence- ment, the choir sings at Saint Mark’s Cathedral. Through being an integral part of these devotional services the choir member experiences a nourishment and enrichment of her spiritual life. It is with a grateful heart that she joins in the hymns of praise to God. i c ( c ( cr c ( r cr : ( r (Hcrx o o ( cr c 24

The chapel service at the beginning of each school day provides a few moments of meditation and peace to guide each girl through the day. A group of faithful, and trustworthy girls is chosen each year to perform the necessary tasks of keeping our chapel beautiful and clean. Their duties are to keep fresh flowers on the altar, to arrange the hymn numbers and the other small tasks which are considered an honor to perform. Miss Margery M. Malins kindly contributes her time every two weeks to meet with the Altar Guild. She helps them to understand the origin of chapel, and how to take care of the altar. Through her willing contributions each girl of the Altar Guild becomes closer to God and obtains a deeper love for the morning chapel service. With a deep satisfaction of serving God, the members of the Altar Guild are conscious of their cherished duty and the privilege they are given of enriching the religious part of school life. 26
