Notes:
The aim of this gift was to recognize the participants and those giving leadership in the annual pageants since 1937. For the dedication service by the Reverend Harry M. Denning, special invitations were sent to all the Directors who had produced the pageants over forty-four years. The Directors were honoured at the dedication of the window and at a luncheon which followed at the Weston Golf Club. Also recognized were the former ministers of the Church, Dr. Lockhart and Dr. Huband.
At the request of Organist, John Clarke, Helen Durrant had written the music for "The Kings Come Riding" which was a part of the pageant for many years. She had been Program Chairman of the Etobicoke Concert Association from 1952 to 1967. Eugene Durrant was an Elder with twenty-five years of service. He was Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools for the Etobicoke Board of Education after being Principal of Etobicoke Collegiate from 1950 to 1963.
