ARDVAR. ROCKCLIFFE PA R OTTAWA November 8th, 1937. Dear Sir,- It was with great pleasure that I learned that this issue of The Ashburian was to be dedicated to the Old Boys of the School, and on behalf of the Association I should like to express our appreciation of this compliment. It is trite to remark that the School Magazine should cooperate with the Old Boys' Association. We are, however, delighted to find the Magazine so anxious to fulfill its job of making present and past Ashburians a unity, and it is with the hope that the hundred or more Old Boys who have not yet joined the Association, and to whom this Old Boy issue is being sent out, will appreciate what is being done for them and will, in turn, do everything in their power to boost the School, of which they should be only too proud. We have ambitions for the Association, and we are endeavouring to put it on a sound basis in order that we may keep all Old Boys posted about the School and form Serving Committees to help boys leaving the School find employment. It is exactly twenty-five years since the Old Boys' Association was formed. It is exactly thirty years ago since your present Chairman of the Board of Governors left Ashbury. Frankly, in earlier times the chief function of the Old Boys' Association used to be its Dinner. Now, however, the Association has grown up, and it realizes that its responsibilities do not begin and end solely with a Dinner. As your President I ask very definitely that every Old Boy of Ashbury, not as yet a member of the Association, get in touch with the Association or the School immediately, for each one of you must admit, or should admit, that you owe that at the very least to Ashbury. With best wishes to all Old Boys, Yours sincerely, Q ,LQ ULAA1 ' ..,,...---A President, Old Boys' Association.

Old Ashburians have the happiest memories of their days at the School and a genuine desire to see it progress in every way to keep its place as an outstanding first-class school among the best of the day.
