6 Elie Aslihurian of next term. These will be held in the School Gymnasium and Visitors will be very cordially welcomed. XVe hear that Mr. Tanner, our Musical Director, has already begun work on the production of Brahm's Requiem , to be per- formed sometime in March. Mr. W. johnson is singing with the Basses in the chorus work. On Friday, Oct. 26th, the School enjoyed the privilege and pleasure of a visit from Major E. F. Newcombe, the Chairman of the Board of Governors. Proceedings opened with a brief address from the Headmaster, who spoke feelingly and fittingly on the resignation of Mr. G. E. Fauquier from the Chairmanship, owing to failing health. Mr. Fauquier, he said, had been connected with Ashbury since 1915 and during that time had always evinced the keenest interest in the School, not only in thought, but in kindly actions and the friendliest cooperation. He further stated that all his sons had passed through the school, two of whom had held the position of Head Pre'fect. The Board of Governors, however, had made a singularly fortunate and happy choice in appointing Major Newcombe to fill the vacancy. Major Newcombe then addressed the School and began by stating that Ashbury had been enrolled on the list of Canadian Schools with Mr. VVright as a Member of the Headmaster's Con- ference. He then stressed Character as the keynote of training and said that Cheerfulness should be shown under all conditions. He advised us to take pride in ourselves and in our School and to be loyal to our friends. He concluded on a very happy note by asking the Headmaster to give us an extra day's holiday following on the usual half-term exeat. Mr. XVright had much pleasure in granting this, and the proceedings terminated with Three Cheers for Major Newcombe, led by M. MacBrien, the Head Prefect. The School was granted a whole holiday on Thursday, Nov. 29th, on the occasion of the XVedding of Princess Marina of Greece and Prince George, youngest son of His Majesty the King.
