THE ASHBURIAN 15 century baby-carriage Would float over Rockliffe Park where naught now interferes with the Sabbath calm except the passing auto, the clang of the Street Cars and the sound of the falHng Poker Chips.

A good year is to be expected as we have among us several good speakers and there are sure to be some able speakers among the new members, who can fill the place of those whom we were unfortunate enough to lose last year. Secretary. CADET CORPS This year the Cadet Corps is larger than ever it was before, owing to the founding of a Bantam Section which is composed of the juniors who are too small to be in the Corps proper. Under the able tuition of Sergt. Mockridge the Corps did excellent work, and spent considerable time on extended order and attacking, besides the ordinary section, platoon and company drill. Capt. Evans filled his position well, so also, did Lieuts. Armstrong and Hamilton. The Cadet Corps Inspection was held last term. General Elliot, General Gwynne and Major Irvin came down and inspected the Corps. Unfortunately the two Generals were unable to stay for the whole Inspection but Major Irvin carried on. After the Inspection the Ispecting Officer de- livered a short speech saying how pleased he was with the general smartness of the Corps, both in appearance and in drill, and how it had improved since the year before.
