NESBlTT, J: SPENCER is-Q-2-i EDITORIAL ASTING round for something to say, after the Editor had been reft away to England leaving the Editorial unwritten, we heard about the appoint- ment of Guy Simonds to lead the Canadian Troops invading Sicily. The first re-action was one of pride, that an Old Ashburian had been so honoured. Then it occurred to us that it is such achievements by Old Boys which should spur on present and future Ashburians to greater zeal, greater initiative, greater determination. A There are Qld Boys of this school in high and responsible positions, to name them would not only be boasting, but invidious, How did they get there? Not by drifting, playing, frivolity, expecting their work to be done for them, but by energy, drive, initiative, intelligence and real hard work. Taking Guy Simonds again, one doesn't reach the rank of Major-General at the age of 39 without showing these qualities. One doesn't reach and hold high office in service or civilian occupation without these qualities. Supposing we think of the many Old Boys who may not have attained high office, but are doing very worth while iobs commanding Brigades, or Battalions, or Ships, or Air Stations, or are working in various branches of the War effort. ln addition to these there are hundreds doing their bit in even less exalted positions. All of these old Ash- burians from top to bottom are giving their best for their country, some, we must not forget, have already given their lives. What are we Ashburians now doing? Some of us we fear, are only in- terested in having a good time, doing little work, complaining about trivial matters. Should we not think of what Qld Ashburians are doing, how well they are upholding the name of the school, and then prepare ourselves to give and do likewise? How, you ask? By hard work mainly, combined with the use of co-operation, intelligence and initiative.
