THE ASHBURIAN [19] Old Boys ' Notes (Cont ' d) team; Boh is the studious one, and spends a great deal of time on his studies. The two remaining Ashhurians are Mason Johnson and Jack Bouti- lier, hoth of whom are doing nicely and entering into all the usual college activities as well as attending most of the prescrihed lectures. In closing this rather crude letter I would like to mention that we all hope for Ashhury ' s continued success. Sincerely yours, Rohert K. Davidson. L. H. Roherts Jr., who was President of the Dehating Society in his last year at Ashhury, has heen elected President of the Bishop ' s University Debat- ing Society and a member of the Students ' Executive Council. During the year he has debated for the university against Loyola College, Montreal, and against New York University. Roger Rowley is working for Gillies Brothers Lumber Mills at Braeside, Ontario. J. A. Calder is working this summer for the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company. The following Old Boys have visited the School recently ; G. R. Perodeau, B. P. McCurdy, C. W. Fullerton, W. H. Hurd, W. F. Hadley, M. D. MacBrien, W. H. T. Wilson, A. C. Evans, A. Chapleau, R. W. Southam and Rowley Booth. We congratulate most heartily Jack Wilson, who left Ashbury in 1926, on receiving the degree of Ph. D. from Princeton. Since leaving School Jock has had a distinguished academic career. In 1930 he graduated from Toronto with a first class degree in Arts and went to Cambridge, leaving there in 1932 with an honours degree and a Pilot ' s Licence. Jock ' s specialty is Geology, and the sub- ject of his recent thesis for the Doctor ' s degree was Structual Geology in Montana. McGill University, Montreal. Dear Sir, I received your letter two very busy weeks ago, and have had no earlier opportunity of answering it. I have compiled as large a list as possible and I hope the following information will be of interest to some Ashhurians.

THE ASHBURIAN [21] Old Boys ' Notes (Cont ' d) Ronald Leathern, who in his early years distinguished himself with the Players ' Club, is taking his M.A. this year. He is a brilliant student of Political Economy. Also graduating are Lem Schlemm, who is still busy with his badminton, and the Brodies who have been active with the Players ' Club. Bruce Ritchie and Fraser MacOuorquodale do much to liven up the House Faculty, while Ian MacOuorquodale, a Players ' Club Execu- itve, when last seen had grown a moustache and was playing the part of A Jungle in this year ' s Red and White Review. Charlie Gale, as debonnaire as ever, is busy exercising and dieting to keep his figure down, and still owes me a dozen oysters. Yuile knocks down High Jump bars with monotonous regularity. Jim Calder was on the Intermediate Track Team and lead the Inter- fraternity Hockey League scorers. A new prize arrival this year was Jack Ross who entered Alining Engineering — a great Social Creditor. Jack won the Intercollegiate Middleweight Boxing Title and has also done well in his studies. He is now surveying at Ste. Anne ' s. Another Ashbury boy is Oliver Whitby. We don ' t see much of him as he spends most of his time in the lab. Last year ' s freshman class, though small, did very well. Waldor Lyman, and Kennedy with his inimitable impersonations, are famous to most of McGill, John Ferguson, placed second in a class of three hundred, was elected Assistant Manager of the Senior Hockey Team, an exceptional honour for a first year student. My own accomplishments include being Playing Manager of our Championship Golf Team and Lightweight member of the Intercolleg- ite Championship Boxing Team. And now, Sir, may I take this opportunity to thank you for allow- ing me to act as Press-Agent for McGill, and may I assure any future Ashburians coming to McGill that we will give them a very warm wel- come. Yours sincerely, Graham Ferguson. Word has just reached us that on Saturday, May 23rd, David Fauquier, who was Head Prefect in 1933, was married in Toronto to Ailene Rogers Fleming. Finally, we congratulate Alexander Garvock, B. Eng., on receiving another degree from McGill at the May meeting of Convocation. Alex, is now a graduate in Commerce as well as in Engineering.
