CHAPEL NOTES On the first Sunday of the Easter Term St. Peter's joined with the Minster to celebrate Epiphany in the procession with carols. Work in the Nave on the new Minster museum and restoration will make the service not possible next January. Both Family Communion services were well supported, the services are voluntary for boys who may bring their families with them; the presence of a small choir to lead the congregation in singing hymns and Merbecke's communion setting has contributed to an enjoyable whole• heartedness within these services. The service of Confirmation was taken by the Archbishop of York on Saturday, March 13th. On the following morning the newly confirmed of St. Peter's and St. Olave's joined their relatives and members of both schools in their first communion service. For this occasion, as for many others since the early part of the term, the chapel was heated with two scarlet calor gas burners in lieu of the broken down central heating system. On the last three Wednesdays of term at 6.30 p.m. the Junior School Chaplain addressed services of Compline taken by sixth-formers. He offered advice on the all-important and all-engrossing concern of prayer. and those who attended the course were undoubtedly furnished with valuable guidance. The new Rhodes choir stalls, the gift of Old Peterites in memory of the former scholar and master, daily grew before our eyes during the Christmas Term. The stalls were completed in the first few weeks of the Easter Term and equipped with orange kneelers and cushions. The completion of the work was marked by a school concert: the mobility of the front pews was demonstrated at the concert interval and it is hoped that this flexibility will not only solve the long standing problem of choir pews but enable the Chapel to accommodate further concerts and dramatic events. The Rhodes choir stalls are not only a tribute to a former pillar of St. Peter's but to the clerk of works, Mr. Hawkins, and his assistant craftsmen Jack and Frank. Their labour has ensured their memory and our unfailing gratitude. The annual Passion service concluded the term on the last Sunday. morning. 12
