18 THE ASHBURIAN The Headmaster then addressed us on the British Flag, telling how it had stood in the past for strength, virtue, justice and liberty. He then went on to say that these principles should act as a spur to the present generation to carry them out. He similarly compared the Scout Flag Standard and said it represented the same true principles. He particularly men- tioned the great Scout Motto BE PREPARED ' and pointed out how this motto had been lived up to during the War. After the ceremony the Scouts in command of Assistant Scout-master Bliss acted as a Guard of Honour. The Vice-regal Party consisted of their Excellencies The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Lord Richard Neville, Lady Spring-Rice, Captain Kenyon-Slaney, Lord Charles Cavendish and Sir Lomer and Lady Gouin of Quebec.

THE ASHBURIAN 19 TENNIS The tennis season which opened on the 20th, April, this year will long be remembered as an extra good one. Work was started on the courts in the early spring and thus by the 20th, both the ash and the grass courts were in first class condition. In the open singles Hamilton proved to be the winner with Evans I a close second. In the handicap doubles, Hamilton and Evans I were the Champions. The Woods brothers easily won the Intermediate tournament. Dewar and Minnes were the victors in the Junior tournament after a close play off with McDougall and Cavendish. W.H.W (§) © CLOSING DAY This year the closing day was on Tuesday, 11th June, We were exceedingly fortunate in having fine weather for the sports, but just as the speeches and prizegiving were over the rain began to come down. The sports began at 1.30 and the programme was very successfully gone through, Evans I and Valleau being the chief prize winners as was the case last year. When the sports were over everyone adjourned to the front lawn where the prizes were ready for distribution. The Headmaster first gave an sddress in which he made a general review of the year, mentioning the splendid record of the Old Ashbury Boys during the war. He then invited Col. Woods to speak, the latter gave a few words of advice to those who were leaving us. Mr, Burstall then spoke for a few minutes. After this Mrs. Woods presented the class prizes and Lady Violet Henderson the sports prizes. @ @ @ PRIZE LIST 1918 Form VI — 1. Hamilton 2. Mulligan. 3. Wanklyn. Form IV A-—1. Mclnnes. 2.
