Gough Front Row: (L. to R.) Rev. Canon W.H.H. McClelland, P. Nielsen, S. Saunders, D. Swanson,J. Mothersill, B. Swanton, I. Johnson, Right Rev. H.J. Jones The Chapel ran smoothly throughout the year thanks to the guidance of the Chaplain and the conscientious work of the Sacristans and Servers. The attendance at the voluntary services was maintained at a very satisfactory level especially the evening celebra- tions of Holy Communion and special days, in particular Ash Wednesday, Maunday Thursday and Ascension Day. Morning prayers on Wednesdays were, for the most part, conducted by the Chaplain but it was very encouraging and helpful to find most of the staff prepared to give a short talk on subjects ranging from sportsmanship to the true mean- ing of Christianity. The Remembrance Day service attended by a large number of parents and old boys was a very moving and impressive service highlighted by the beautiful playing of Last Post and Reveille by David Cooper. One of the other major services in the Chapel calendar was the annual Founder ' s Day Service at which Rear-Admiral R.H. Leir (Lake ' s ' 40) gave the address the theme of which was that the important things learned at Shawnigan are not neces- sarily those learned in the class room. He used very telling examples from his own career in the Royal Canadian Navy. At this service a plaque was dedicated to the memory of Hector M. Mcintosh a former teacher at the School known as Mac to his many friends. Later in the year a beautifully carved credence table and cruets were dedicated to the memory of Michael Choquette, a student in Copeman ' s House from 1973-76, baptized and confirmed in the Chapel 1976, Senior Sacristan 1975-76 and killed in a logging accident in 1977. Over the years the Chapel Committee has set aside some of the offerings with a view to setting up a Chapel Scholar- ship. This year the fund reached $10,000.00 and the Com- mittee was very pleased to give this sum to the School to provide a scholarship for a student enrolled at the School who has contributed or could be expected to contribute to the spiritual life of the School through his contribution to the Chapel. Our thanks are offered to the following clergy who gave addresses in the Chapel: the Rev. J.R. Murray, Rector of St. Peter ' s, Quamichan, the Rev. L.C. Thornton, Rector of St. John ' s, Cobble Hill, the Rev. A.E. Leonard, Parish Priest of Shawnigan Lake and in particular the new Bishop of B.C. and official visitor to the School, the Right Rev. H.J.Jones who confirmed 16 boys. It is of interest that two others who attended the classes were confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church. Special thanks are also due to Mrs. McClelland and Mrs. Le Roux who provided and arranged the flowers throughout the year, also to Mr. G.L. Anderson for his tender care of the organ.
