   In 1970, James Briton married Miss Lauritta Bartlett who at the time, was a member of the Cathedral congregation.
   
   A qualified teacher of Arts and Crafts, James Briton in 1971 joined the staff of Scotch College, Swanbourne as an Arts master and remained there for twelve years.
   
   After leaving St George's Cathedral he became organist of St Alban's Church, Highgate . He was also organist of Wesley College South Perth, where the taking part in the worship of God by accompanying a choir, and at times some very vigorous and enthusiastic congregational singing, gave him a tremendous thrill.
   
   VIII. MICHAEL WENTZELL 1970 - 1973 by Peter Mold, former Precentor
   
   Fr Michael Wentzell's sudden death at his home in Mount Lawley on 28 April 1973, deprived the Australian church of a very great musician as well as a sensitive and colourful priest.
   
   At the Cathedral and beyond, Fr Wentzell's pastoral concern was well known, especially for individuals, and through his leadership of the Companions of St George, part of the lay apostolate at the Cathedral.
   
   His exceptional gift as a musician of virtuoso ability was widely admired and enjoyed especially by all who worshipped at the Cathedral or attended his numerous concerts or heard his regular broadcasts on the Australian Broadcasting Commission's radio stations.
