Chronicle-1978

available for meetings. A number of interesting and challenging slide/tape shows have attempted to present the guilders with the relevance of Christian faith in our day. Bible quizzes have been popular and every now and again a games evening is well received. The Guild has also enjoyed a visit from Mr Jack Reece who spoke on the early days of Kearsney and showed us some of his interesting archaeological artifacts. The Senior Guild has continued its pattern of a fortnightly meeting and this has proved fairly successful. A six-man committee was appointed early in the year taking two boys each from 6th, 5th and 4th Forms. Inexperience in the functioning of a committee and difficulty in finding a time for committee meetings have been problems but much has been learnt nevertheless. On the whole meetings have been fairly well attended but it has been difficult to engage outside speakers knowing that, because of a test or an exam, a number of boys might not be present. Film evenings have been very popular and the Scripture Union evening of slides promoting Skoegheim was well supported. A Sunday seminar on programme organisation was held in Maritzburg under the auspices of Scripture Union and the committee has benefited greatly from this. A keen spirit prevails in the Guild and we look forward to a good 1979. D.B. Carol Service 1978 AI IL ORDER OFSERVICE Organ music: Yuletide Echoes, Camil van Hulse.
