Previously, indeed on the first Sunday of term, we had taken part again—after a year's interval—in the Epiphany Procession in York Minster. On the last Sunday of term, Passion Sunday, the Choral Society sang an excerpt from Part ii of Handel's Messiah, and a special service was devised round this, with appropriate lessons and hymns. But the great event of any Easter Term is our Annual Confirmation, and the following boys were Confirmed by the Bishop of Selby in the School Chapel on Friday, 14th March :P. L. Bellwood, J. D. Birch, R. M. Botterill, K. Brown, H. C. Bulmer,
J. F. Cappleman, A. M. Carr, R. J. Catchpole, C. Charlesworth, P. B. Clayton, G. R. H. Clemons, C. R. Clough, R. F. Coates, R. I. Collinson, W. B. Crosskill, J. R. Dawson, M. W. Dennis, J. R. Dodsworth, R. C. Eastwood, J. C. Fox, P. J. French, E. M. Gray, A. G. Hall, F. W. Hardy, A. I. Harrison, B. A. Heap, C. G. Howat, J. B. Huzzard, A. J. Isherwood, M. Kay, F. A. L. Kirby, G. C. J. Kirk, D. A. A. Lamb, J. R, J. Leishman, R. G. Le Pla, P. R. B. Megginson, R. E. L. Micklethwaite, P. W. Middlebrook, E. I. Moore, J. E. Moore, J. R. Moore, J. D. Morrison, D. C. Parry, R. D. J. Pattison, M. T. Powell, A. G. Quarmby, T. J. Robbins-Jones, P. S. Roe, J. W. Rudd, R. M. Scarth, W. T. Shaw, D. J. E. Sherry, J. R. Shirtcliffe, A. G. D. Staines, R. M. Stork, J. R. Tomlinson, E. H. N. Turner, R. N. Unwin, C. J. Vyle, T. Watson, J. B. Wilkinson, M. Willstrop, R. N. Worsley; sixty-three boys in all.
D. M. Walker completed his course of Preparation, but was unfortunately prevented from being Confirmed by illness. He was Confirmed at Clifton Parish Church on 8th April. Our visiting preachers this term have been The Dean of York and Canon Addleshaw, of York Minster, to whom we offer our grateful thanks for their help. A special word of gratitude is due to the Chapel Monitor and his band of Servers, to whom we welcome a new recruit in R. D. Palframan. Even in the darkest days of January the Servers never failed. As during last Lent it was very good to see the regular attendance of a number of boys at the week-day Celebrations of Holy Communion. Those who were Confirmed made their first Communion on Sunday, 16th March—a great occasion. C.P.
THE CHOIR The new arrangements for a separate Junior School service on weekdays mean that the Choir sings together less than it has hitherto, but this does not seem so far to have affected the standard of singing in the Sunday services. After being unable to take part last year, we once more, this term, took the r6le of Everyman in the Epiphany procession in York Minster. 20
