[16] THE ASHBURIAN OLD BOYS ' NOTES SINCE the last issue of the Ashburian went to press several of our Old Boys hove married. In June Miss J. W. Wright of Montreal became the wife of Adam Fauquier who, it will be remembered, was Head Prefect here 1929-1930, and in the same month Dr. Kenneth Mackenzie married Miss Isobel Gillespie of Ottawa. To both Old Boys the Magazine offers its heartiest congratulations. At the latter wedding Jeffrey Carrique was best man. In July Frederick Allan Heubach married Miss Margo Graydon of London, Ontario. The wedding took place in Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal, with the Dean officiating. Tommy Beauclerk was best man; Hugh Cowans, Roger Rowley and Eric Beardmore were ushers. The latter also ceased being a bachelor this summer — a fact foretold in our last issue, when his engagement to Miss Jean Ritchie was announced — and after a honeymoon spent in Honolulu, California and the West they have now taken up residence in the Town of Mount Royal. Another marriage among the Old Boys was that of John Y. Stanfield, who was married this autumn to Miss Margaret Bischoff of Irvington, New Jersey. They were married in St. George ' s Church, Ste. Anne de Bellevue. Harold F. Stanfield acted as best man for his brother. Mr. and Mrs. Stanfield are now living on Lincoln Avenue, Montreal. Alastair Grant, who was at Ashbury from 1921 to 1925, was married in August to Miss Elizabeth Mclnnes of Quebec. Fergus Grant, who was also at the School, was best man, and John Gilmour was one of the ushers. The marriage was solemnized in Toronto early in September of Louise Dewar and Robert Powell. The last marriage to be recorded at the time of going to press is that of Dr. J. T. Wilson and Miss Isabel Dickson. Jock ' s wedding took place in Chalmers United Church, Ottawa, and the ceremony was performed by the Right Reverend Dr. G. G. D. Woodside. Peter Wilson was his brother ' s best man. On their return from their honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will live on Roseberry Avenue. Congratulations to Peter Aylen who is now married and living in Vancouver. To all the above Old Boys and their newly acquired wives the Ashburian extends its best wishes. We regret to report the death of John Graham, an Old Boy of some years who died during the summer in London, Ontario. During the War Mr. Graham was with the R. A. F. and since then had been with the Department of Public Works in Western Ontario. To his family we offer our sincere condolences.
