Anderson Inter-House Academic Shield Lake ' s Departmental Examinations C 7His year the Final Provincial Examinations were J conducted in a different way from previous years and it is therefore a little difficult to relate to them. For example, a candidate ' s over-all average has no bearing on his Scholarship average; the Scholarship exams being, in fact, entirely separate. Generally the results are most satisfactory, with only 4 failures out of 123 papers written. The percentage passed to papers written being 96.5%; 27 papers over 80% (22% of the papers written); and 14 boys out of 32— nearly 44%— winning scholarships to university. Special mention must be made of Douglas Hyndman whose average was 84.3% for 7 subjects and whose Scholarship average was 90.5%.

■ • • t. ' •: - J A (chapel .pi Oerhaps our Fifth Student Christian Conference this year was a useful indication of the state of religion in the School and in other schools like it. Fifty students attended, not because of already formulated deep convictions, but out of a desire to investigate and examine Christian understandings of Truth. And the case presented to them by Dr. Daniel Morris (Scientist and Christian, from Seattle) was not in terms of tradi- tional apologia, but as a personal understanding of scientific and religious experience seen as a unified whole, and nurtured by the disciplines of the Church. Much discussion was generated, much thought provoked, and, at the same time, there seemed a more ready patience to acknowledge the validity of religious insights. This was the tenor of many appreciative letters received after- wards; and this I should judge to be the attitude in Chapel: an impatience with orthodoxy and its associated rituals, but a willingness to listen to ideas which can stand up to inspection in their own right. For this reason we have been a little more experimental in our conduct of affairs. Films have sometimes taken the place of formal worship, as have modern readings and meditations; we have used up-to- date patterns both in the words and in the music of our Services, including the Eucharist; on some occasions groups of boys have composed their own forms of worship and conducted them themselves; some of the boys joined in a palm cross making bee for our specially devised Palm Sunday Service; others have accompanied the singing with their guitars and trumpets. We are always grateful to visiting preachers who come and give us the benefit of their help, change of voice and new ideas. A nd we extend our thanks this vear to: The Reverend C. E. Lonsdale, Rector of Comox, and nephew of the School ' s Founder. The Reverend Peter Moore, Organizer of the Council for Religion in Independent Schools. Canon G. H. Greenhalgh, Rector of Nanaimo. The Reverend W. J. Hill, Rector of Chemainus, and Rural Dean of Cowichan. Dr. Daniel Morris, of Lakeside School, Seattle. The Most Reverend H. E. Sexton, Archbishop of British Columbia. This vear thirteen candidates were presented to the Bishop for Confirmation, on Rogation Sunday, April 30th. We are hapnv to receive these boys as fullv fledged members of the Church of God, and pray that thev will dailv increase in God ' s Holy Spirit , making full use of His Gifts to grow in understanding of their new status and of the kind of life it commits them to. Thev are: Michael Allan Barclay Donald Carter Blackburn Murray Russell Dawson Robin Charles Fitzgerald William Dain John Flemming Stuart Harold Halsan David Keith Hancock Christopher Peter Janewav Ian Ross Johnson Kenneth Philip Chatham Jolley Allan DeBrisay Marler Ian Hamilton Noble Michael Bae Wallace Once again a faithful band have given of their services to help the Chapel to run smoothly. Mrs. Scott has presided at the organ, occasionally assisted by Jim Collbran. Charles Traunweiser has been a very con- scientious Sacristan, coming quite new to the job in September; and Leigh Foster has always been on hand to assist him. Richard Wilmot has acted as Senior Server, and has marshalled the Servers for their duties. Jim Collbran (when he wasn ' t carrying the Bishop ' s Crozier, on the occasions of his Grace ' s visits) has been our reverent Crucifer. Thanks to these for their services rendered, and to all others who have made their unseen contributions towards maintaining the Chapel as a worthv House of God. — E. W. Scott, Chaplain. 15
