tea. Our thanks must go to the people who provided it for us and to all those who helped to organise our trip. The Trebles have sung with added confidence this term and a general improvement in the standard of singing has been noticeable throughout the term. Among the anthems performed during the term were "Coelos Ascendit Hodie" by C. V. Stanford, and "Hear my prayer" by Mendelssohn. The former, dedicated to Alan Gray, 0.P., and the choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, is for double choir and gave the Cantoris and Decani the rare opportunity of singing antiphonally. The latter, which is not always heard in full, fell far short of the standard we had set ourselves, owing to had intonation. Two members of the Choir, C. B. Hardie and J. A. Sutton, represented St. Peter's at the Royal School of Church Music Cathedral Course. The closing Service was Broadcast on Tuesday, 19th August, from Winchester Cathedral. The following Anthems were sung during the term :This joyful Eastertide (Carol).
The Strife is o'er—Vulpius arr. Henry Ley. Earth to-day rejoices (Carol). Motet : Coelos ascendit hodie—C. V. Stanford. Come, Holy Ghost—A ttwood. Hymn to the Trinity—Tchaikovsky.
