28 THE ASHBURIAN Ashbury Old Boys, said the President, were scattered all over the world, and it is the intention to gradually gather them all into the Association so that the School may have behind it a powerful, widespread organization to foster its traditions and further its splendid work. Extra copies of the Ashburian containing an account of the Dinner are being sent to every Old Boy who was present. It is planned to build up a large Old Boys ' News Section in the School magazine, as this is one of the best media for keeping in touch. A list of Old Boys ' addresses who attended the dinner is pub- lished in this issue. There are still many names which the committee has not yet on file and any Old Boy knowing of any other Old Boy whose name and address has been omitted or incorrectly shown, is earnestly requested to send in corrections or additions as soon as possible to Haden Walhs, 3447 Drummond St., Montreal. W. v» feoYTve evo p cce£, or e|it co1-ow1 Ike Rev. Dr. G. P. Woollcombe, the headmaster, who replied to the toast to Ashbury, expressed his extreme pleasure at meeting so many old faces again. With many an interesting anecdote, he reviewed the history of Ashbury since its founding, in 1891. Few Canadian head- masters, remarked Dr. Woollcombe, were able to share with him the unique experience of personally directing the education, over such an unusually long period, of so many pupils as had been his privilege during the last 39 years. It was his great pleasure, said Dr. Wooll- combe, to realize that Ashbury can now take its place with the other prominent Canadian schools in having a large, active Old Boys ' association taking a keen interest in the welfare and progress of their old school. Dr. Woollcombe then proposed a one-minute silent toast to the many old Ashburians who had fallen in the war, after which the dinner concluded with musical selections, the signing of the Old Boys ' register and singing of God Save the King.

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.
