Snowdon. who had been in charge of our Sunday services. In the short time he was with us. he had made himself most popular and respected. and we enjoyed his interesting and forceful sermons. He sailed on October 7th from Yanconver for China and japan, to study conditions in the Mission liields. We hope that when he returns, we may he privileged to hear something of his experiences.

10 THE ASHBURIAN SPEECH DAY As this was the last occasion when Dr. G. P. XYoollcombe would address the Governors. Parents. Friends, Old Boys and Boys of Ash- bury as Headmaster. the proceedings were somewhat tinged with sad- ness at the thought. It was happily. however. the opportunity of pre- senting parting gifts and. on behalf of the Board of Governors, the new President. Mr. Gilbert E. Fauquier. handed to Dr. lVoo1lcombe a very handsome silver tray. suitably inscribed: on behalf of the Old Boys' Association, gl. C. Campbell of Montreal presented him with a beautiful silver Cigarette-box and a bond for 35500. The present Boys had previously given their Headmaster a subscription of over S100. while the staff had subscribed a sum of money to be used as Dr. lYoollcombe thought fit. For Mrs. lYoollcombe. to whom was paid a graceful tribute. there was a very lovely bouquet of roses, handed to her by Peter Newconibe. of the junior School. lYe think it fitting to place on record in The Ashburianf' extracts from Dr. XYoollcomhe's farewell Report. HEADMASTER'S REPORT S JUNE, 1933. ln reviewing the School year now closing. I am glad to be able to report that it has been a very successful one. I Apart from the fact that. owing to the very general financial conditions of the country. our numbers have not been up to full strength. in every other par- ticular the usual good reputation of the School has been more than mam- tained. - The work done in the various forms has been particularly good: and. while there must necessarily be differences in the positions that boys occupy in their classes. yet there has been very general and satisfactory progress made. Last June a smaller number of boys than has been the case in some years tried their complete Matriculation at McGill: and out of the five boys who did so. three were completely successful and are now at the University. One boy passed into R.M.C. and one boy took only part of the McGill examination passing in all the subjects taken with credit and obtaining over 80W in his Mathematical papers. lfive. boys sat for the Toronto Senior Matriculation or Upper School Examination and four of them passed most creditably in all subjects. Most of our Universities now require Senior Matriculation before a boy can be admitted. A A number of bovs took certain of the subjects in the Middle School or 'loronto Junior Matriculation and on the whole did very well. Most of these will complete their .lunior Matriculation this June. and we wish them and all those boys who are taking examinations a very successful issue.
