R THE OOL YEAB1968-1969 Carol Service As our gymnasium was not available as an auditorium this year due to the new construction, we were accorded the privilege of holding the annual Carol Service in St. Andrew's United Church, Westmount. This mode a beautiful setting for the fine singing that our choirs under the direction of Mr, Gordon Phillips, always present. The only drawback was that the time of 5.00 p.m. reduced the size of our 'audience.' We are very grateful to the Reverend E. A. Kirker and the congregation of St. Andrews for allowing us to hold the service in their beautiful church. The following boys sang as soloists:-R. Hall, W. Bockler, D. McKeown, S. Heathcote, E. Stevenson, C. Shannon, J. Goodall, G, Roper, A. Stewart, B. Chambers, A. Saletes, N. Matheson, M. Culver, N, Bird, M. Roper, T. Claxton, C. Gordon, G. Tombs, F. Nemec and H. Carter. The School Choir Prizewinners last June in the various Form Choirs were as follows:- Form lll .lay Rankin Form Il William Gould Form l Neil Bird Form A Christopher Shannon Form B Brian Wolvin Competition was very keen and congratula- tions are extended to all the above on winning their awards. During the year Speirs House accu- mulated the most points by a large margin. We are most happy to announce that Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Hale have given us a beautiful shield for Inter-House Competition in Choral work. This is a trophy for which we have always had an urgent need and we are deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Hale for their generous gift. On their insistence it will be named the F. Gordon Phillips Trophy and, on it, each year, will be engraved the name of the winning House, and of the out- standing chorister in the Senior School. This year the competition is extremely close and, at the time of writing, Macaulay is leading by one point with Lucas in last place only eight points behind. The final result will depend on the composition of the Prizegiving Choir and the Prize winners.
