THE ASHBURIAN 25 Rich and poor alike pause to admire my clothes, all men fear me, married men hate me and drag their fascinated wives past me, for they know that great is the temptation. My attendants are legion — my reputation of the best. I never go out at night, no one but these my attendants may touch me, nor am I as mortals who need to eat and drink. All desire to be clothed as richly as I — yet none could wear as many clothes as I — my clothes cost me nothing. In all weathers and in all seasons I am the archtemptress, and my owners make their profits out of my power to attract the Almighty Dollar yet I get no thanks for I am only a shop window. — C. W. T.

Old Boys ' Dinner Association Dinner a Great Success Many a pleasant school memory was revived — old friendships renewed — and a vigorous Alumni created when some sixty old Ashburians met, at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, Saturday April 26th, for the first annual reunion and dinner of the Ashbury College Old Boys ' Association. The following officers and committee were elected for the ensu- ing year. President — Arthur Evans. Secretary — John Bogert. Treasurer — Haden Wallis. Committee — John Fauquier, Leo. D. Palmer, Ryland Daniels, Keith Davidson, Philip Scott, John Molson, Philip Wooll- combe, Gilbert Fauquier. The President of the Association, Mr. Arthur Evans, in pro- posing a toast to the school, outlined, in a few well chosen words, the aims of the newly formed Alumni and stated that an intensive drive for additional members was shortly to be undertaken, and that in view of so encouraging an attendance, it was hoped that next year well over one hundred and fifty members would be at the dinner, which will be an annual event.
