The Chapel

that all Templars have their heads in the clouds. On the contrary, the academic successes of last term's "A" and "0" Level candidates brought home the Work Cup, and so set a shining example to the House this term. The Work Cup has long been associated with Temple, and its return is something of which we are justly proud. We could not pass by the subject of work without mentioning the successes of K. Gosling, and we wish him the best of luck with his Open Scholarship Papers.

The Hobbies Room has been used to a much greater extent this term by the Junior half of the House, but we still feel that the hobbies of the Senior Part of the House are such as cannot be carried on in the aforementioned room. In this connection we wish Messrs. Gosling, Kershaw, and Piercy the best of luck with their School Dance which they have initiated this year.

The C.C.F. has now been put on a House basis and we feel that we have got off to a good start. On the administrative side we seem to be well represented by T. Piercy—R.A.F. Storeman, J. V. Littlewood—Army Storeman, and R. N. Bradford—R.A.F. Clerk.

We are pleased to say that we are not losing anyone this term, but we were very sorry to hear that J. N. Russell had at the last minute forsaken St. Peter's for Manchester University, and the pattering of his tiny feet outside Study II will be much missed.

In retrospect we consider we have distinguished ourselves in academic spheres this term, but on the sports field we feel we have not as yet attained the standard of by-gone years. The future is, however, promising, and we believe that in this respect a revival is about to take place.

Naturally enough our services in the Chapel were affected by the influenza epidemic at the beginning of term as much as everything else. Perhaps the greatest loss was the cancellation of the Harvest Thanksgiving, which would have come at a time when a large proportion of the School could not have taken part and those who normally decorate the Chapel were busy helping with the nursing. On the other hand we reached a considerably higher standard of congregational singing with the smaller numbers than is possible with the whole School stretching away far from the organ.

By the middle of the term we were back at full strength for the Sung Communion on All Saints' Day and the special Service of Commemoration on the morning of Remembrance Sunday. On that Sunday evening, instead of a sermon, there was a ceremony of dedication of three much valued additions to the Chapel furniture. 23
