ACOLYTES Each year seven boys are elected to the Acolyte Guild. Election is based on the boy ' s contribution to the spiritual life of the school. The specific duties include service as crucifer, servers, crozier bear- er, and flag bearers. The boys serve on alternate weeks at the morning chapel service. Six acolytes prepare for Friday Chapel. Students elected to serve, 1963-64 were: Kit Sumner, John Volkman, Wim Ray, Chuck Culp, Hank Wilhite, Steve Amoss, and Phil Patterson (not pictured). CHOIR Whether singing the morning hymns or an elaborate setting of the mass, the choir, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Miranda, adds its talent to the life of the school. The choir has appeared at St. Mark ' s Cathedral, St. Mark ' s Hospital, and at the annual Corporation Dinner. 24

CHAPEL The life of St. Mark ' s School revolves around the daily chapel service held each morning in St. Margaret ' s Chapel. Within this thirty-minute service, the student body is more closely welded together in thought than at any other time during the day. Its quiet- ness and peacefulness provide an atmosphere for meditation and corporate prayers before the student enters the sometimes hectic world of school. And yet chapel is more than a morning service. It is a place of retreat for the school community where students and faculty to- gether can share their griefs and their joys as a unified body. Perhaps the meaning of chapel has never been clearer to us than upon the assassination of President Kennedy when we could do the only thing possible . . . pray.

CHAPEL COMMITTEE Members of the Chapel Committee at their weekly meeting, with advisors Mr. Larimer and Father Winder, are: Keith Palmer, Mischa Axiine, Aggie Reed, (seated); Michelle Hackett, Sue Hazeltine, Wim Ray, Rick Stevenson, Phil Patterson, Jean Ann Igo, Hank Lamb, and Karen Engstrom. The Chapel Committee was organized in order to provide a sounding board for the student body ' s attitude towards the morning service. Now that the form of the service has been established, it was felt that the committee was no longer needed. Thus, this is the last year for its existence. As in the past, the committee has presented readings as a part of the morning service. CHAPEL CANDIDS Performing before the richly decorated tryptych designed by Mr. Fox, the cast of the Christmas Story assemble for a final dress rehearsal. The Renaissance costumes were designed by Mrs. Jam Woodman. Mr. Larimer directed the Candle and Carol play and Father Winder was coordinator for the entire service.
