CHAPEL In chapel Sunday, November the 25th, the orchestra played two request numbers. (1) “O Sole Mio” by di Capua; (2) “La Paloma” by Yradies. The choir sang ‘ ‘ Praise Ye the Lord ” by Woodcock. Supt. Ryan made a few announcements and chapel came to a close. In chapel last Sunday the excercise began by sing ing a hymn, “Sing Them Over Again to Me,” fol. lowed by “Dear Old Oregon.” The orchestra played “War March of the Priests,” by Mendelsohn.
