8 THE ASHBURIAN THE OLD BOYS DINNER The annual dinner of the Association was held in Montreal on Friday evening, April the first. This year it was decided to hold the annual meeting of the Association before our dinner, and the idea seems to have been a good one, since it was the means of making known to many of the members exactly what the Committee had done during the past year. Vtle were again very fortunate in having as our guest of honour Doctor XVoollcombe, whose presence is so essential to the success of the evening. The retiring president, Ted Lyman was in the chair: the other members of the Committee completed the number seated at the head table. After the toast to the King had been drunk, the chairman pro- posed a toast to Ashbury. He took this opportunity of telling the Old Boys something of conditions at the School, and expressed a hope that the Old Boys Association would continue to flourish, as it has done since its reorganization. The Head in replying stated that he was always pleased to be with his Old Boys on the occasion of their annual dinner, and to renew old acquaintances. He asked that the school should not be forgotten when parents were discussing the educations of their sons: and added that, on these occasions the recommendations of an Old Boy carry much weight. Allan Code, who always comes down from Perth for our dinner, in a short speech, stated that an Ashburian learned to play the Game and that this was an essential part of the education of all boys. During the remainder of the evening we were entertained by selections on the accordion by Professor Marazza. The evening was voted by all a great success.
