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

Starting The School Year September 11, 1947, found all the old and new Rowland Hall girls excitedly entering the building to register for a new school year. A Mother’s and Daughters’ tea at which the faculty was introduced, got things well under way. The inspiring first Chapel service, a day later, was an incentive to each girl to meet the challenge of higher goals. Freshman initiation, provided a great deal of humor for the entire upper school, but was enjoyed, especially by the suffering Freshmen. With October came the gay Hallowe’en Skits; at which time original ideas and hidden talents were displayd before friends and relatives. The Bazaar was a tremendous success and a good time was the order of the day. Christmas time was ushered in with great excitement, for evervone was loooking forward to the Christmas dance and annual party. The traditional Rowland Hall “Candle and Carol service was a beautiful and fitting climax to the old year. After returning from a glorious vacation, the girls settled down to face a new year and mid-year exams. A four-day trip to Sun Valley, Idaho, was perhaps the highlight of the year. A wonderful time was had by all, and their experiences were a favorite topic of discussion for many weeks after. The remainder of the year was well rounded out with Such memor- able affairs as the French play, the A. A. Banquet and the ‘Senior play. February and March sped by quickly and everyone realized that with April came Spring Vacation. The long awaited Junior Prom was a memorable night— a dance that will be cherished by each Junior and Senior for years to come. At the class parties and Junior skits, once more hidden talents pro- duced a hilarious evening. As the end of school drew near, each senior began to prepare for Baccalaureate and Graduation. These final services of the year are ones of tears and yet great joy; for everyone realizes that not only did we progress academically, but the fine spirit of sportsmanship and co-operation that prevailed, is one of which we can be proud. 28
