MACONOCHIE .ltigi EDITORIAL GUR yeors ogo this summer Abinger Hill School, with fifty-five boys ond two mosters, come to Ashbury. lts coming wos on experiment, on ex- periment which we knew would be frought with difficulties, but which we expected would bring the greotest benefit to both Abinger ond Ashbury. The difficulties were vorious. The first question wos, of course, how the boys would get olong together. Ashbury, indeed hos mony similorities to English schools, but its boys ore Conodion, ond there wos bound to be some friction between the two groups, from lock of understonding. But this would not lost, ond os individuol friends were mode ond common interests discovered we found thot our differences were not reolly importont. A second worry wos lock of money, for owing to restrictions very little would be sent from Englond, ond Abinger hod to depend lorgely on Ashbury for funds. Thirdly, we did not know whot the boys, who hod no homes other thon Ashbury, were to do during the holidoys, ond here we ore indebted to mony Conodion fomilies who offered to toke core of boys in their vocotion time. The experience wos one of mutuol odvontoge to both schools. Whot were these odvorttoges? Ecich group hos leorned mony things from the other, ond picked up mony of the other's chorocteristics, we hove even exchonged slong. But by for the most importont wos the broodening of outlook ond understond- ing goined by living with inhobitonts of onother country. One of the couses of the trouble we ore going through to-doy is whot might be colled notionol snob- bishness-the refusol of people to remedy their ignoronce of the woy of life of other peoples, ond their looking down on those peoples becciuse they ore dif- ferent. The Germon theory of the Moster Roce is one of the worst forms of this. Exchonges of groups of young people omong the notions would go for towords promoting friendship. By the time this is printed the whole of Abinger will hove returned to Eng- lond. We see them go with the deepest regret, for o port of Ashbury hos gone with them, but they hove left something behind them, o trodition of friendliness ond courtesy, which will never be forgotten. I I s.-. A - 'TETI ' 11. L I. i It .-Is- THE ASHBURIAN l9l VALEDICTORY IG-iven by L. I-I. Chapman, I-lead Prefect, at the closingi When I arrived here four years ago, little did I dream, except in my wildest nightmares, that one doy I would be standing on this platform as valedictorian. Now that I om here I am indeed honoured In July l94O I stepped off the gangplank of the Duchess of Richmond, a bewildered schoolboy in shorts expecting at any moment to hear the worcry of the redskins. Since then some of this bewilderment has gone and I have come to regard Canada as my second home, and when I return to England this summer one of the happiest chapters of my life will have ended. Arriving from Abinger, an English prep school, we found that the atmos- phere of Ashbury moderated this great change, for here we found a scholastic system In many ways similar to that of England. As for myself, whilst I have been in Canada I have grown both in mind and body and know that these most important years of my life have most certainly not been wasted, and I feel sure that I am speaking for the other Abinger boys when I soy that the kindness and help we have received here in Canada have played an exceedingly important part in the development of our characters. Of those who are leaving Ashbury this year some will be entering the Forces, others going to places of higher learning, but no matter what course we may follow, we all have a great duty ahead of us. .Ashbury has well pre- pared us for the trials that will follow this war, the training which we have received both on the playing fields and in the class-rooms will help us to play Our part in the peace to come. But now I must say farewelli farewell to Canada, farewell to Ashbury, and to you, Mr, Archdole, who together with Mr. Harrison have done so much for us in the absence of our parents. And to end I would like to quote from one of your young Canadian poets: If we must part, let this our parting be, Peaceful as break the elonds in sunny skies, And let it be, before all mortal eyes. As smooth as part the sn-ells upon the sea. iq-Q-31 SELF-GCVERNMENT IN SCHOOLS Below we print extracts from essays on the above topic. by diferent authors. We take no responsibility for the opinions ex- pressed. Self-government in schools is desirable because of the development of a sense of responsibility. Whatever your station in life, you must be able to give orders, as well as to obey, to organise as well as to be organised. The prefect system is an application of this, but the question is whether it is the maximum H01 THE ASHBURIAN of self-government thot school-boys con be given. lt is not very much, prefects oct under the orders ond occording to the policy of the mosters. They ore chosen by the mosters, ond the greoter moss of school-boys ore left with no voice in their fote ot oll, On the other hond, too much freedom must not be given to boys. l-lumons ore noturolly lozy, ond this is especiolly true of boys. So the pupils in o school do need some sort of supervision to keep the system running smoothly. Whot is needed is o prefect system with further, but not complete, seporo- tion from the control of odults ond some body representing the rest of the school -some sort of students' council thot could decide whot policy the prefects were to pursue, thot could review comploints ond suggestions ond poss on the more reosonoble ones to the l-leodmoster, ond thot could serve os o nucleus round which the vorious octivities of the school could form-plonning of societies, excursions, etc. :,: :,: :,: Self-government in o school is o highly dongerous thing to meddle with. lt is common knowledge thot mojor politicol upheovols ond revolutions olwoys occur in o country not when the period of suppression is ot its height, but when reforms ore mode. As soon os o repressed people feel the iron hond slockening they ore reody to put it off foster, The some could be true of o school, not thot the pupils ore suppressed, but once they ore encouroged to think of things they think ore wrong with the school, their comploints will come in for foster thon they ore justified. As on educoting system, the formotion of something like o students' council in o school is highly to be commended. lt teoches the pupils o number of things. lt teoches them self-expression. lf the stoff represented ore owe-inspiring enough, it con teoch toct ond diplomocy in o difficult subejct. It shows the pupils thot the orgonizotion of o school is not just writing out o set of rules ond thot there is o lot of orgonizing to be done. The very thought of such o system omong boys is indeed o dongerous one. lf we could be sure thot every boy would think ond do his job such o system would be excellent, but the overoge boy is inclined to think in terms of personol friendship rother thon for the betterment of the institution. .i. .-. -1, .,. .,. .,. One of the chorocteristics of the British people, is thot they stubbornly refuse to be oppressed in ony woy whotsoever by on outocrotic government, but they will submit to the greotest hordships willingly, if they know thot their own representotives hove opproved them. Likewise in o school, boys should be given the reosons for oll the mony rules, ond there should be on ossembly of boys to discuss ond propose them. V An importont function of this ossembly, would be the question period, in which prefects ond members of the stoff would be osked questions concerning seemingly pointless or unfoir rules ond octions, which they moy hove mode. The ossembly would hove little or no reol power, but the very foct thot they would hove to onswer for their deeds, ond give sensible reosons for rules, before the 'I HI' .AlN!llZl'lCl.l,N' wi r flu 1.'f ' ' rw.: '. . -9, . iOi .V Q 13 .

We are grateful to Mrs, Baker, who substituted for him. Miss Shorter continued to play for Sunday Morning services, and on Sunday Evenings we were helped by Eliot I and Pegram in turn. A successful innovation, Eliot I played, with success, at the Leaving Service, while Grant l, Darby, and Grant ll sang. The Bishop of Ottawa, Right Rev. Robert Jefferson took the Confirma- tion service, on Ascension day, assisted by Mr, Poole, and Mr, Wright, curate at the Cathedral, There were l6 Ashbury Candidates and 3 from Elmwood, who had been prepared by Mr, Poole. The confirmation class presented the chapel with a Hymn Book suitably inscribed. Elmwood, to whom we are already indebted for the prie-dieu in the chancel, are giving us a prayer-book to match the Hymn book. Chapel clerks this year were Hatch and Shenstone, who both did a good job. We were glad to see Dr, Woollcombe, our Founder taking part in the Leaving Service at the closing in June. ' -lg-Q-3-. HON. H. H. DAVIS Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada We are very sorry to record the death of Judge Davis in July l944. A governor of Ashbury College since l93B, he took a keen and active interest in the school in spite of ill-health, and was at all times available for consultation and ready to give sound advice, His sound common-sense and high principles made him a very valuable counsellor, and his place on the Board will be hard to fill. We offer our sincer sympathy to Mrs, Davis and her daughter Diana. kv THE ASHBURIAN ll3l SCHOOL NOTES We would like to offer our most sincere thanks to His Excellency for com- ng to speak and present the prezes at the closing. We know that he is very busy and has little time to spare and we felt greatly honoured when he accepted our invitation. This September brought once more many changes in staff. At the end of last school year four masters left. Mr. Boon, who went to take over a parish in Jasper, Mr, Hincks, who went to Lower Canada College, Mr. Chestnut, and Mr. Travers. At the beginning of this year we welcomed Dr. Renny for Senior School mathematics and science, RSM Henry for cadet corps and defence, and the Reverend A. J. Poole as chaplain and for general subjects. There were fortunately no changes of staff during the year. Many of the Abinger boys have already returned to England, and the re- mainder, together with Mr. Harrison, are leaving this summer. We all owe thanks to Mr. Harrison for the efficient way he has handled all the details necessary in an undertaking of this kind, and for the way he has given his time and labour without hesitation to every part of the school life. We know that Abinger Hill has enjoyed its stay in Canada, but they will be very glad to return to their homes. In May, Ashbury College was presented by Colonel Newcombe with a photo- graph of Major General Guy Simonds ll92ll as he was given the D.S.O. by General Montgomery. We felt highly honoured, and especially pleased as a half-holiday came with the presentation. The picture now hangs in the Dining Hall. During the first two weeks of the summer term it was too wet for cricket, so instead a new feature was introduced-compulsory running. The Senior and Middle Schools had to run nearly to the R.C.M.P. barracks and back, a distance of three quarters of a mile each way, in twenty.minutes. This provided excel- lent training for the cross-country race itself. This year the upper port of the school was reorganized, and the forms were arranged as follows: Senior School lfor those doing matriculation workli forms Vla, Vlb, and Vlc fformerly Val. Middle School: forms V fformerly Vbl, Shell, lformerly Vcl and lV. This summer a lot more interest in tennis was shown, and it was made an alternative to cricket on Wednesday afternoons. We would like to thank the Rockcliffe Tennis Club for allowing us to use its courts. The increase of the staff in the kitchen has made it no longer necessary 'for the boys to do the dishes and set the tables, although they still do the serving. This and the cleaning of their rooms they still do with high efficiency The surprising lack of snow this year made the skiing qute poor, but we were not faced with the problem of having the rinks filled with snow, and a -great deal cf hockey was played. This year two sales were held by the Junior School for the benefit of the Red Cross Boys from all parts of the school contributed models, books, toys, H41 THE ASHBURIAN ond other crticles, ond the sole of these brought substontiol sums for the Red Cross. Moior Mclieond spoke to us this yeor on Poppy Doy, ond on November ll neorly everybody in the school hod o poppy. -.Mony dollors were turned over to the Conoclion Legion. In oddition St. George's Doy lApril 23l wos morked os o doy to buy o Rose of St. George. The proceeds, 552838, went to the Merchont Novy. ln the Red Cross compoign the contribution of the School wos 99.89. The costs of the ploys would like to thonk the l-leodmoster ond Mrs. Arch- dole for the excellent feed ofter the performonce. The House Donces, which were eoch time held in the Senior Librory, were oll very successful, ond o greot deol of fun wos hod by oll. We would like to congrotulote the donce committee lPilgrim ond Boutinl on the quolity of the refreshments. An occount of the Formol Donce will be found elsewhere, but were would here thonk Boutin for the work he did in obtoining decorotions, notobly flogs, for the donce. Thonks ore due to Mrs. Arnold for the guolity of the food this yeor, ond especiolly for the ice creom we hod on Sundoys, Congrotulotions, too, to the motron on the remorkoble lock of sickness this yeor, Owing to the shortoge of condy the shop wos only open on lvlondoys, Wednesdoys, ond Eridoys this yeor, ond purchoses were restricted to one for eoch boy eoch time.

Importance of Responsibility. Stressing the importance of giving a boy responsibility early in life, Mr. Archdale cited cases inside Ashbury where, for reasons of shortage of staff, for instance, boys have accepted and used well the responsibility and authority placed in them by the staff and by the boys themselves. Mr, Archdale told the assembly that in these days, and in the difficult days which will follow the war, it is imperative that the boys of today, the citizens of tomorrow, know how to handle themselves and their fellow beings, how to lead and how tolie led, and that every boy must be disciplined-but it should come from below, he added. lt is his belief that where punishment is necessary the punishment should fit the crime, and that the initiative should be developed by decentralization, As an example of the latter, he said that this year a school council was inaugurated, the responsibility and authority of which will grow steadily. With these ideas in mind l have tried to run this school accordingly, and if we can secure or keep the necessary staff we should be able to produce a stream of educated, well trained young men, ready and willing to play an active part in a really democratic world. They will be ready to lead or to follow, but not, please God, to follow blindly. That way lies Fascism and we will have failed. Let us se to it, parents, staff, board and all, that we do not fail. Mr. Archdale gave a brief but comprehensive report of the year's work. Stating that the school was carried on under certain difficulties. Mr. Archdale announced that the senior matriculation results last June were not at all bad , and that he was confident this year's results would be even better. Referring to sports at Ashbury during this term, he said it was a lean year, but expressed satisfaction with the caliber of the sportsmanship and co-operation in every sport. Dramatic Moment. A dramatic and poignant moment was reached in the proceeding when G. J. K. l-larrison, headmaster of Abinger l-lill School, said a formal farewell to Ashbury on behalf of his school. For four years this English school has been a part of Ashbury. The two schools have co-operated and merged to such an extent that it was an Abinger l-lill boy who became head boy at Ashbury this year. This same boy, Lewin Chapman, yesterday won the coveted Nelson Shield, awarded annually to the boy who displays the keenest sense of duty. As Mr. l-larrison rose to speak the hall resounded with deafening applause and stamping-convincing testmony to the popularity which he and his school have enioyed at Ashbury during their sojourn there, Mr, l-larrison expressed deep regret that Abinger l-lill School and Ashbury are to part, and extended his gratefulness to Ashbury for all it has done for them in the past four years. As- Mr, Archdale said, 'With the departure of the Abinger l-lill School boys and Mr- l-larrison and experiment has been successfully completed. i. rail. THE ASHBURIAN ll7l His Excellency the Earl of Athlone was guest of honor at the closing exer- cises. Having recently attended school closings at various points across Canada, including Regina and Port Hope, .where he was present at the Trinity College School closing exercises, he told Ashburians that in one respect they have all other Canadian schools beaten it is only five minutes walk from his home, Government House, to Ashbury. Governor Generol's Advice. In a more serious vein, he told the boys that leisure does not mean doing nothing-the essence of leisure is freedom from compulsion Suggesting that every boy should have a hobby, he specified that a hobby should be self-con- tained. Stating that the best use of spare time has always been a matter of study and interest by the greatest men in history, His Excellency told the boys that it is essential to get in the habit at an early age of making good use of leisure time. Finally, His Excellency said, You are living now at one of the turning points of history. Ten days ago, as you know, our forces, Canadian, British and American, landed on the north coast of France, but the battle has only begun During the holidays it will probably develop in intensity and range for beyond what we can now imagine. Now that is your battle. lt is being fought by your soldiers, sailors and airmen, and it is being fought for you. I want to urge you, therefore, to follow it very closely from day to day. Read the best newspapers and ask questions about it. Learn all there is to be known for it is a constantly unfolding story illuminated by great deeds of heroism. From these deeds you will learn much on which to pattern the rest of your own lives. Take the full measure of them and play your part in the future in seeing that Canada is worthy of the great sacrifices that are now being made on her beholffl Voledictory Address. As is the custom, the head boy, Llewin Chapman, gave the valedictory od- dress. He stated that in Ashbury the Abinger Hill school bays have found many things similar to those at home. He thanked the headmaster, the staff, and the pupils of Ashbury for their hospitality and friendship, and stated, l now know that these most important years have not been wasted. Rev. Dr. G. P. Woollcombe, who founded Ashbury College nearly 54 years ago, was present at the closing. Col. E. F. Newcombe, in paying tribute to Dr. Woollcombe, stated that without his foresight and inspiration Ashbury College might never have existed. He has always stressed courage, self reliance, honesty and bravery as being essential qualities in every boy or man, said Cal. Newcombe of Ashbury's founder. Col. Newcombe, member cf the Board of Governors of Ashbury, was chair- man of the exercises, On behalf of the Governors, he thanked Mr. Archdale and the staff at Ashbury for their efforts during the year. Seated on the platform were His Excellency the Governor General, Sir Shuldham Redfern, Major Mark Clayton, A.D.C., H. S. Southam, Brig. Gen. C H. Maclaren, Judge J. D. Hyndman, Norman F. Wilson, Shirley Woods, Rev. Dr. G. P. Woollcombe, Mr. Archdale and Mr. Harrison. jjgj THE ASHBURIAN Impressive Service. Prior to the actual exercises a brief but impressive service was held in the school chapel. While those in attendance stood at attention with heads bowed, Mr. Archdale read the names of those former Ashburians who have given their lives in the service of their country during this conflict. The list of names has grown appreciably during the past year. His Excellency the Governor General presented the prizes. In the academic field David Hooper, eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. George Hooper was outstanding. He was the winner of the Governor General's Medal for the highest academic standing in the school, as well as the Southam Cup for the finest combined record in sports and in academic standing, He was also the recipient of several other awards Much to the delight of the large audience, Sir Shuldham Redfern stepped forward and received a prize on behalf of his small son for a fine academic record in one of the junior forms. Connaught House was awarded the house trophy, while the Wilson prizes for batting and bowling were won by Richardson and Read respectively. Graduate in Uniform. PO. Hugh MacDonald, an Ashbury graduate of two years ago, won the Old Boys' race at the field day which preceded the closing. When he stepped for- ward to receive his prize yesterday afternoon loud and enthusiastic applause rose on every side. He is at present home on leave.

THE ASHBURIAN izi i CADET CORPS UITE a number of changes have been made in the Corps this year, both in organization and training in order to conform with the new R C A C. programme. S.M.l. lW.O. ll CM. Henry took over the Corps at the start of the year, and work on the new syllabus of training was begun immediately with a view to giving the cadets an opportunity to qualify for their badge as 3rd Class cadets As this was the first year of the new qualifying system, authority was ob- tained to grade cadets already in the Corps on their length of service and officers and senior N.C.O's, were awarded three chevrons, cadets with more than one year's service received two chevrons and under one year were given one chevron. From now on, however, cadets are required to qualify for their chevrons ond, with the exception of First Aid, all examinations for qualifying for the next chevron have been held. The Corps started the year as a company with a strength of about 78 mem- bers. lt was organized as a Headquarters platoon with a signal section and a first aid se:tion, and two rifle platoons. CfMaior E. Pilgrim was Commanding Officer, with CfCapt. H. Bulpit as second in command. During the Easter term, however, it was decided to re-organize the Corps on a battalion basis and to bring into the Corps the company from the iunior cadet corps. lt was felt that this move would increase interest in the work generally, and this proved to be the fact, The Corps, as re-organized, naw consisted of battalion HQ, and two com- panies, of two platoons each. At the some time there was a general step in rank, C!Major Pilgrim going to CfLieut.-Colonel and CfCapt Bulpit being promoted to Cfivlajor. CfLieutenants D. Hooper and P, Harbin were promoted to CfMaior and appointed company commanders, with other necessary promo- tions being made at the some time. A qualifying course for existing and potential N.C.Os. was run during the Easter tern' covering drill, some map reading and field work. It is hoped to establish this course as a permanent part of the Corps work, and to extend its scope. -Results were very encouraging, a big proportion of the class passing, A course in semaphore signalling was also run during the year. Here again, results were very good, about 9694i of the Corps passing the examinations held by the District Signalling officer, Capt. H. Bonner, Morse buzzer classes were run as part of the Defence Training programme and all the candidates passed, A considerable amount of new equipment, including Coue rifles and Swift Training rifles, was received from N.D.H.Q. during the year which helped con- siderably in the training of the Corps. A very considerable amount of 'range work was carried out during the year. In addition to firing the annual range course, cadets also fired in the Q21 THE ASHBURIAN D.CR.A. Winter Competition, the RMC. lnter-School Competition ond the youth of the Empire Competition. Whilst results ore not outstonding, quite o lot of improvement hos been shown ond it is confidently expected thot next yeor the work put in on the ronge this yeor will show good results. The District Codet officers' onnuol inspection wos held in the middle of Moy ond went off very well. ln oddition to the ceremoniol drill, oll phoses of the work covered during the yeor were shown, ond os o wind-up the Corps did o tocticol scheme consisting of o compony in Advonce Guord ond Attock. As C1 result of the good work ot the inspection, the Corps wos successful in winning the Sherwood Cup, emblemotic of the most efficient Corps in the Ottowo District. On the 29th June o porty of 20 codets left to ottend theiDistrict Codet Comp ot Connought Ronges. It hod been hoped thot there would be o much lorger porty for this but owing to unforeseen circumstonces, severol hod to drop out. A very comprehensive syllobus of work hod been orronged, including firing with the new .303 S,lVl.L.E. No. 4, o three inch mortor course ond o very in- structive dernonstrotion of the firing of the 6 onti-tonk gun. The comp closed on the 8th July, ond concluded o very successful yeor's work. . g-Q-3-1. t CADETS INSPECTED We ore indebted to Panorama for the followingi N Thursdoy the eighteenth of Moy, the onnuol inspection of our Codet Corps wos held ot the school, The Bottolion fell in ot l3.3O hrs. lin English, holf post one in the ofternoonl. l.ed by the Pipe Bond of the Comeron l-lighlonders we were brought up into review order, where the Generol Solute for Coptoin l-lolmes wos given ot l-4100 hours C2 p.m.l.

Bulpit and l-l. Price N the night of Saturday, March l l, the school presented its annual plays at the Technical School Auditorium before an appreciative audience of nearly 600 people. The performance was honoured by the presence of Their Excellencies the Governor General and the Princess Alice, who afterwards went backstage to meet the players who had made the evening such a success. Departing from its usual custom of presenting three short pieces, the school this year put on two comedies-a one-act play and a shortened version of a full length one. The first play presented was J. A. Kelley's Queer Street, which was pro- duced by Mr. Belcher. lt is the story of a respectable burglar whose daughter gets engaged to a policeman, and of the complications which ensue when the policeman enters his home. The role of Bill l-lart, the burglar, was con- vincingly handled by l-latch, whose only fault lay in rather hurrying his lines. Northcott gave a finished performance as Liza l-lart, Bill's wife, his voice and diction were the best of the cast. Pat Archdale, the only female member of either cast, was charming as Edith l-lar.t, the burglar's love-sick daughter. The part of her fiance, Albert Smith, was played by Eliot l, who gave a creditable performance in a rather thankless part, but was inclined to overact. The character role of Joe Smart, I-lart's bungling and slow-witted assistant, was THE ASHBURIAN mi played with skill by Harben ll, and the confusion caused by his eritrurice provided the greatest comedy of the play. Pegram as the detective recitefi his lines, but in his part this was lust what was required Although some of the dialogue could not be heard the audience were laughing almost continuously The mayor port of the evening's entertainment was lan Hay's The House- master, also known as Bachelor Born, The difficulties of producing a light and subtle comedy of this type were well overcome, and in spite of the limited rehearsal time and the strain placed on the actors by the length of their parts the play went off extremely well. It is the story of a housemaster of an English public school who has his privacy altogether shattered by the sudden arrival of an old friend and her three young nieces, who proceed to get themselves and their friends into all kinds of adventures-and misadventures. The difficult and long part of Charles Donkin, the housemaster, was played with exceptional ability and understanding by Chapman. No one better could have been chosen for the part, and much credit is due to him for the hard work he did. Shenstone as Hastings, the witty and sarcastic maths master, gave a first-class performance. The thankless part of the Reverend Edmund Ovington, the school's conceited and narrow-minded headmaster, was played by Hooper, who managed to be extremely funny. Sablin played Beamish, Mr. Donkin's sporty young assistant, very well, and Bautin, showed much feeling as de Pourville, the music teacher. Woodward as Barbara Fone, Donkin's old friend, Atherton as Rosemary, and Warburton l as Chris, all overcame well the difficulties of their feminine parts, but Price ll as Button stole the show, many of the audience wanted to know who that little girl was. Spencer as Bimbo Button's twin brother was the perfect schoolboy, while Winser as Flossie Nightingale gave a good performance as an older boy. The man- nerisms of Nelles as Sir Berkeley Nightingale, the astute and slightly pompous politician, were both convincing and funny. Mr. Archdale is to be congratulated on the excellent job he did in casting both plays, and both he and Mr. Belcher should be thanked for their good work in producing the plays. We would also like to thank Miss Gordon and Dr. Renny for making up the actors, our stage managers, Bulpit and Price, and also Tony Lee, who very kindly came down and helped us, and our ushers, who did such an efficient job. The general opinion was that this was a very entertaining and successful evening, We were able to turn over S240 dollars to the Red Cross. SCHCDOL PARLIAMENT FTER some false starts a long cherished dream of the Headmasters' really began this year. A representative body, at present called School Parlia- ment in default ofa better name was elected. It consists of the Prefects, one elected monitor and a representative from each form in the Middle and Upper Schools. The Headmaster, at present takes the chair. lt is hoped that from being as it is now, an advisory body, and a sounding-board of school opinion, the School Parliament will take unto itself more responsibilities as time goes on. lt is intended too that the Junior School should have a similar body to represent them. T281 THE ASHBURIAN THE SCHOCL DANCE l-lE l944 School Formal Dance was held in the gymnasium on Friday the nineteenth of May. We could enlarge upon this subject almost indefinitelyhwe could mention the mad rush to get the lights and decorations placed in time, the excited and collar-strangled boys pacing the floor below the ladies' dressing room, and Mr. Saunders' indomitable orchestra. We could tell how all the events planned for months past slipped by in seconds, about the refreshments so welcome to the dancers, about the ingeniously-made bandstands, about the kindness of those friends and diplomats who coura- geously dared to lend their flags for the decoration of the front hall. And we could dwell at length upon the gaiety of the scene on the dance floor-the bright-coloured array of the long evening dresses contrasted with the more conservative blues and blacks of the boys. Instead we will merely say how much we, the boys of Ashbury, enjoyed the dance, and how sincerely we hope that our guests-among whom were several members of the staff, many Old Boys, representatives from Lisgar and St. Pat's, and of course the ladies-enjoyed it as much. One of the charming girls who came wrote graciously about the dance: For a month before the nineteenth there was something in the air. Something that started with a murmur of are you going? and ended in a feverish pitch of day-long discussions of new dresses, hair-do's and long fingernails. All this shows that a boy knows nothing of a dance, for he merely collects the finished product of weeks' work, and dances. l-low horribly dull! From a female point of view it was the piece de resistance of the spring. You could see this in the faces of all those gathered in the the Infirmary as they shrieked with joy over each others' dresses and talked in voices that sounded as if they were competing for highness. The gym was barely distinguishable through United Nations' flags and a ceiling of Ashbury-coloured streamers, and on entering one got the feeling that it felt as happy as the couples gliding across the floor. After an hour or so the orchestra received reinforcements amidst cheers of approval, and the dance went on at a renewed pitch, until a crocodile-like Conga line led out from the gym to the school for refreshments. These were as good as ever and were met with the usual ravenous approval. After eating the time seemed but five minutes and then before anyone knew it the strains of God Save the King sounded, and all came to attention with faces that were a mixture of sadness and happiness. Sadness because it was over, but who could be entirely sad after such a wonderful evening? l wonder if anyone left without the thought 'l wish I could come back to the Ashbury formal every year as long as l live' The Dance Committee would like to extend their sincere thanks for the hard work done by all the boys concerned with the dance. And we must thank even more the Dance Committee itself, Boutin and Pilgrim, for their skilful planning and painstaking efforts, lt was the leadership of this Committee and the cooperative spirit shown by the boys that contributed so much to making the dance the great success that it was. MAS, Vlb. THE ASHBURIAN l29l THE LIBRARY HE Library has had an immensely successful year and has really got somewhere, it thinks. The Library must be taken as meaning a body of boys headed by the writer of this article who is a master and the chief Librarian. The Library has been thought to be remarkably unscrupulous by various members of the School, who have been inclined to suspect that the money paid by them in fines for the late return of books has been later consumed in the purchase of coca cola and other drinks and fruit cake for the Library feast at the end of the term. This information is not however correct, though we are proud to say that the collection of fines has been remarkably ruthless and successful and has resulted in boys being very much more careful about the books than they were twelve months ago. The writer is also proud to say that the boys who have assisted him as librarians this year have been conscientous and efficient. We started off in September by extracting a grant of S5000 from the Headmaster which gave great pleosure and this action on the Headmaster's part has done much towards the success of the year as it inspired a great deal of enthusiasm. Books were bought in two instalments and the bookshelf doors were as far as possible locked so that books could not be extracted at ony time by the less scrupulous members of the school. ln addition owing to the return of a number of English boys to their homes across the sea, the Library has inherited a great number of books in almost new condition which have been willed to it by those departing boys. There are books for boys of all ages. ln the spring term alone there were more than l4O entries in the books out book and this represents a very big increase in the reading over recent years. One cannot say that more boys are reading more but at all events they are patranising the Library and not relying on what books they may happen to own themselves, or borrow from other people. There will always be o good deal of trouble with the books as long as is is not possible to lock ALL the books up. This might seem a trifling task and you may be wondering why it has not been done long ago. The fact is that certain of the shelves are so made with sliding doors that it is very difficult if not impossible in war time to find any lock of the right kind to deal with them. Consequently we still find books all over the school that have somehow found their way out of the shelves without being noticed, but on the whole the members of the school are very helpful and conscientious about bringing them back when they find them, and we are duly grateful. For the purposes of the record the Library has been open at the following timeszat break lll.l5l every day and at 8,30 pm. every day, Monday to Friday inclusive. After chapel on Sunday morning for fifteen minutes There has been no opening an Saturday. The boys who have acted as assistant Librarians during the year are as follows. Atherton, Birchwood, Eliot 2, Lighthall, Matthews, Nelles, Plowden, Winser.

Chapman was elected President and R, Boutin Vice-President. Mr. Harrison at his own suggestion agreed to act as Secretary. The meeting was largely attended by the members of those forms qualified to attend, and adjourned at 8.55 pm. The Second meeting of the Society took place at 8 pm. in the Library when P. Horben moved that in the opinion of this House tu be born poor develops a better character than to be born rich. J. C. Mocnobb opposed The Hon Mover, drawing both personal and national examples from those of Abraham Lincoln and ancient Rome, emphasied the importance to character of having to sweat and fight for the advantages of life otherwise denied, when Rome was poor she had the character to create a great empirel when she grew rich she grew lazy, dependent on mercenaries and slaves, and these things led inevitably to her decadence and final collapse. A boy born to wealth is padded and shielded from the hard things of life and as he has no need of a strong character, he will not develop one. He admitted the advantages of a formal education in the building of character, but would not admit that a rich background gave a boy a better chance to take advantage of such an education than a comparatively poor one. Those who are born poor may sink even lower, he said, but it is equally true that those who are born rich waste their lives: 'in fact,' said the Hon Mover, 'to those who say that there are more poor vagrants than rich wasters, l will reply that there are a great many more poor people than rich ones' This was a good speech and confidently delivered. The Hon Opposer supposed that nearly all his audience would ultimately be at least moderately successful in life: in imagination therefore we were rapidly whirled to a school in Hull, Quebec: the members of the Debating society there, he said, had less chance of becoming successful, Why? Poverty. The jobs that awaited the poor were monotonous, in which the spirit was held down and hope smothered. The Hon. Opposer knew what he was talking about because he had worked in a job all summer in a factory, He was amazed, he said, by the simple-mindednes of his fellow workers' their minds were at 5th form level: and don't suppose, he added, that these people led exemplary lives. Not a bit of it. Two of his acquaintances there had deserted their wives and many did not appear on the morning after the night before, which seemed to happen often. The rich man has character which he has had the chance to build up in a good school: the rich have so much character in fact that the Hon. Opposer was able confidently to attribute the fall of France in I9-40 to the French revolution in l789 when all those with money land therefore charocterl were so unfortunately destroyed The only Free French leader of any consequence is De Gaulle, an oristocrat. And then what about Churchill and Roosevelt? Both rich men Consider, said the Hon. Opposer, how exceedingly lucky you are not to have been born in the slums. l32l THE ASHBURIAN The President then rose to encouroge the l-louse which might hove been in some donger of sitting without o world for some time. l-le did not core for the quoting of the nomes of outstonding men who hod influenced the world os there were exceptions to every rule, ond the orguments were inclined to be dongerous: but he did feel thot the people thot you might hove to consort with in the circumstonces of poverty hod o good chonce of leoding you to some Corrective Institution. This would not be true in Russio of course but in Englond ond the North Americon continent money still counted for o lot. lopposedl Mr. Walsh, whom we were very glod to welcome os o visitor, procloimecl himself on the side of the opposition, The world is not normol. The world hos forgotten the ethics of Christionity ond until it returns to them it connot be so: under the circumstonces of the present doy, therefore, however undesiroble it might be, the odvontoges ore heovily on the side of the rich. chill penury repress'd their noble roge ond froze the geniol current of the soul Greet weolth, he concluded, imposes greot obligotions, but the lock of weolth imposes greot hondicops. lopposedl PEGRAM would hove none of the ideo thot people in foctories ore without hope. This wos o nonsensicol stotement ond the world is full of exomples of men who hove risen through the vorious stoges of lorge business to come out ot the top os President. lsupportedl HATCH told us he hod two points to moke ond thot they concerned respect for poverty ond respect for outhority. ln the cose of the former it wos obvious thot if you were born poor you hod fewer things to woste ond took more core not only of your own things, but of other peoples: in the cose of the lotter he felt thot the eorlier-thon-school stoges in the cose of the rich hod been over- looked: there you hove the curse of the Nonny who hos no respect for honesty ond truth ond doesn't teoch such things to her chorges who grow up with little respect for their porents whom they seldom see onywoy. lA truly gloomy picturel lsupportedl ELIOT I osked members whot they thought the object of their existence wos? Are we brought into the world to moke o nome for ourselves, ond to get to the top of the tree? ls not the emphosis on chorocter? l-le left us with the feeling thot the people thot he liked were those who hod to moke o fight of it ond so presumobly ..... he supported. THE SECRETARY expressed surprise thot there should be such o dismol view of the effects of youthful poverty on this continent ond in this lond of opportunity, AND in this the century of the common mon . l-le osked members too keep in mind thot the words of the motion must not be thought to refer only to grinding poverty of the most extreme type but to on obsence of riches. Since he hod been so recently shocked by the effects of weolth ond oll the concomitonts of weolth on the persons of De Morigny ond Lonergon, he felt he must support the motion. BIRCHWOOD brought us bock ogoin to thot school in l-lull: he would hove none of the contention thot its pupils would not be successful. In com- THE Asnaukmrv I yt, parison with what they set out to be, he said, they will be just as successful One must take the average man in any case for the ambitious man will win whatever the circumstances are, even if the handicap is wealth 'Supported' He took exception to some remarks made by Hatch also, and upon his being seated Hatch rose by the President's permission to defend himself briefly HOLMES felt that travelling develops character and that is something you can never do without money he appeared to think that the character ol the poor was pretty deplorable, too, because as soon as they get any nstoriey, he said, they spend it on such foolish things. lopposedt PRICE 2 on the other hand felt that the poor have a great chance for there is something about being poor that makes you industrious and willing to sacrifice a great deal. He quoted several instances of poor men in the XlXth century who had contributed to the progress of the world, lSupportedt WHITWORTH said that rich people are snobbish and think they know more than they really do: the poor are not like this as they have a better Chance of becoming something than pretending to be something, lsupportedt BOUTIN, forgetting to address the chair, said that man's character was developed from his environment. We are sorry to report that this speech was read. As the time was advancing the President then declared the debate closed and called upon the Hon. Opposer for his reply. THE HON. OPPOSER laughed at the idea that a lot of poor people reached the top. Those who did, only did by underhand means anyhow, and by grinding the faces of the other poor. And as for snobbishness, if any people are snobs, the poor are. Taking us back into that factory again the Hon. Opposer closed a very amusing speech by explaining the difference between divorce and desertion. The HON. MOVER replied briefly but confidently and upon a vote being taken there were in favour of the motion l8 against the motion 9 neutral l The President expressed pleasure at the attendance of two visitors, the Headmaster and Mr. Walsh, and a successful first debate of the season ended. The Third meeting of the Society took place at 8 pm. in the Library when W. Eliot moved that this House prefers to listen to Classical Music rather than Swing. R. V. Sablin opposed. The I-ION. MOVER gave us a speech which was rich in musical erudition and his knowledge of classical composers and their life histories is obviously very considerable, but much of the subject matter of his words was away from the subject of the motion. Originally, he said, music was an expression of the feelings of a person's mind. He cited Chopin's Funeral March, Sullivan's Lost Chord, and Beet- hoven's 5th Symphony as instances where the composer had exactly matched his music to the feeling he intended to convey. Now, music had degenerated into being iust a string of notes. In modern music there is no harmony, no counterpoint. lf all modern music could be put together it would not add up U41 THE ASHBURIAN to the volue of one good clossicol piece. No violins ore used, ond too mony wind instruments, ond whot's more the horsher they ore sounded the more enthusiosticolly they ore received. The HON. OPPOSER cloimed thot the greoter voriety of swing gove it o big leod. You con fit it into ony mood, ond whot's more, he soid, you dont even need to give it your full ottention. The benefits ore just the some. The ormed forces of the USA. hod recently, in o poll being token, voted os to 6670 for Swing, whereos only 970 hod voted for the clossics os their mode of musicol recreotion. Deporting like the l-lon. Mover from the theme of the motion, he gove us o brief history of Swing, ond ot one moment looked very like giving o Sinotro rendering on Stordust, Teo for Two, or Sweet Georgio Brown. Returning to the moin streom however he pointed out thot monuol work in foctories is done to Swing, ond not to Beethoven's Sth Symphony. Swing, he soid touches some deep emotion in oll right thinking people, ond is the new folk music of Americo. Shenstone soid he hod been thinking this problem over ond hod decided thcit Clossics ond Swing were rodiccilly different in ci porticulor woy. Swing is whot he would like to ccill Wiggly music. lt mokes you go thump thump with hond, foot, or heod: it is music for the body, cind os the l-lon. Opposer soid, you ccin just let it flow on. The Clossics on the other hond ore for the eor,ond the broin. Clossicol music is Non-Wiggly ond needs mentol concentrotion in order thot it moy be opprecioted. As o comporison, he would provide greot pointing os opposed to the ort of the Cortoon. Some cortoons live for o very long time but in the moin they lose their topicol interest ond ore gone, like the cotchy tunes. As for the music, eoch type, he thought, hod its odvontoges: he himself liked both, but since the motion wos worded os it wos, he would oppose. The HEADMASTER rose to point out thot there wos o tendency to deport from the wording of the motion: thot it wos no orgument to give o potted history of music, for however instructive it might be from other points of view, it hod no beoring on the motion. Nor hod the foct thot Jozz wos turned on in fcictories, The PRESIDENT, mighty club beorer ogciinst Swing, rose to sloy the Duke of Ellington, block, ignoront, ond centrol Africon, whom only the boys who didn't know ony better went mod over. Where will these moderns be o hundred yeo rs from' now? lSupportedl Pegram osked if we hod reolly thought enough obout this drum ond boogiewoogie ploying. Did we reolize thot there wos os much tolent ond poins- toking work in o drum solo of thot kind os there wos in ony omount of clossicol music ploying? Holmes soid thot Swing wos very middle closs: its outhors unknown. lSupportedl Birchwood osked whot hod those stotements obout the nonsurvivol volue of swing been bosed on? Swing is o new type of music, he soid, ond is just beoinning to prove itself, Who con presume to prophesy obout its survivol? And whot nonsense obout those violins, in the l-lon. Mover's speech. Swing THE ASHBURIAN 1351 bands are full of them. And as for the names of the Swing composers not being well known, that's all nonsense too. They may not be well known here. lOpposedl Hunley enquired how many of his audience liked dancing, Quite a few he opined. At the same time he did not wish us to think that Swing was just dancing material, and nothing else. It can be listened to and appreciated in the same way as the Fifth Symphony in F flat of Rudolf Paderooski He reiterated the point made by an earlier speaker that you can always find in Swing a tempo to suit your mood. tOpposedl Castle in a delightfully vigorous though brief speech, told us that he liked to turn on something hot and go to it: asked to define 'it', he defined it. Wliitworth was uncertain about the future of swing: most modern music only seems to last a few days, he said. lSupportedl Price 2 produced the astonishing theory that he would like to dance only to classical music. lSupportedl Bilderbeck said that all these references to dancing did not constitute a proper argument anyway. l?l Macgregor said that Swing music was the most natural way of expressing musically the thoughts, desires, and hopes of the ordinary mortal. Why listen to classical music because it was lapparentlyl the thing to do, because it was 'done' by the so-caled higher-ups? Modern music is for modern people. Swing is carefree and the so-called classics are merely morbid. Who in their right mind would dance the minuet? lOpposedl Capt. Dare admitted that the last speaker had got something there and there was a great snob-value to classical music. Nothing lasts for ever and we are living in a revolutionary age in which Swing can be just as much a repre- sentative as Classical music was of an age which is going out and which is indeed possibly-dead. l Supportedl The Principal Speakers then replied, the Hon. Mover taking the opportunity to remark that the lovers of Swing seemed to be dressed accordingly, and the House divided. There were for the Motion ll, against I3, neutral 2. The motion was therefore lost by 2 votes. This was another good debate during which we were delighted to hear so many new speakers. The Fourth Meeting of the Society took place on Friday evening Jan 28th, when R. Boutin moved that this House approves of Universal State Control The President opposed and this time, not following the usual precedent, there were two seconders, in the person of Messrs. W. Eliot and M Shenstone. The debate was not as well attended as some have been, owing to the great number of school activities going on just at this time. The HON. MOVER, opening the debate drew a picture for us of the Utopia that would follow the centralisation of everything under a central world control. He claimed that all our troubles so far had been due to private enterprise. ln the Hon. Maver's world there would be no more waste, no burn- U61 THE ASHBURIAN ing of coffee, no ploughing wheat back into the ground. At the same time he was careful to impress on us that there was no hint of fascism in all this. The HON. OPPOSER would have none of this. Universal State Control thereafter called USCl means working for the State, while its opposite, Private Enterprise, means working for oneself: the one represents Democracy, the other Eascism. After giving us one or two rather alarming stories of the attitude to work that exists in some Government offices where working for the State is not taken at all as seriously as it ought to be, he passed on to Russia, USC appears to be pretty successful there, he admitted, but it should be added, he said, that the newspapers were not auite so laudatory in the recent past. l-le did not let the timeworn example of the CP. and CN. railways go without a reference before he sat down, The HON. MOVER'S SECONDER lEliotl made an exceedingly good and carefully thought out speech which would have been better received if his audience had been less predisposed to the other side. l-le described to us a scheme of things in which the Control really was Universal and told us in some detail his system for electing a world President or Leader. In Education, in Mr, Brain and Gm ivii, weigh SB-W. on Sports Day, A View in the Back Quad. lndustry, in the l-lome, he had plans for the Universal betterment of mankind, with controls on maximum prices and minimum wages, and lN.Bl only higher education for those who are fitted to receive it. The HON. OPPOSER'S SECONDER lShenstonel also in an excellent and solid speech, analysed the meanings of the terms once more with some concrete examples Private Enterprise was then represented by a correct factory, and after hearing of the struggles and successes of this imaginary factory we had to see the result of USC upon it, l-le examined the good and the bad sides of Private Enterprise: the work of the l-ludson's Bay Co, and the CPR, and the results of the lndustrial revolution in England, and also the greed, the slumps, and the Unemployment that too often accompany unrestricted PE. On THE ASHBURIAN - l37l balance however he insisted that it was clear that on one side there was fredom and on the other that freedom was lost. And as for Russia, it was all very well to talk about the Russians being happy in their loss ot freedom, these people never lost their freedom, for they never had any. MATTHEWS, an the debate being thrown open to the House, said that 'the Hon. Mover's world depended on man being perfect, and as this was not so, unfortunately . . .. And then as to this world leader that his Seconder spake of, why should he not try to stay in office and become a Dictator? HOLMES said we were fighting for Democracy weren't we? USC was not Democracy. If you have worked hard, he said, why should you not profit by it? As for all the burning of the coffee and the other well known scandals, they were due to lack of Transportation. lA Voice: Rubbishl MR. WALSH aptly quoted Woodrow Wilson as saying that the History of Liberty is the History of the Limitations of human government. Three countries, he said have experienced with USC: of these one is prostrate, one tottering, and one would, he hoped, in a very few years lie prostrate too. ln the realms of Religion, Family, and Education, the State had either no right at all or, in the case of the last named, very little right to interfere. He ended a very moving speech with an impassioned plea that we should not be deceived by the promises of the USC boys, as it was a terribly easy thing to force state Control upon a heedless people. He gave us details of how easy it was in Germany. His speech was indeed a slashing attack upon what he called the greatest evil in the world at present. DIXON spoke of the problems of a Universal language, and said that the Four Freedoms of the Atlantic charter do not deal with USC. NORTHCOTT while opposing the motion, wished to make one or two points clear to the Opposition. Private Enterprise, he said, is not necessarily associated with Democracy. We are not living in a democracy now, lt is Capitalism that runs the world at present. Quoting several examples of State Control very close to home, he said that sooner rather than later you would be bound to get oppression by the USC government. Owing to a rather late start and owing to the length of some of the speeches it naw became necessary to close the debate to the House and call upon the Principal Speakers for their replies. Both the Mover and the Oppaser, who had presumably warmed to their work, made far better speeches than their original ones, even though there was no particular addition of new material. The Hon. Mover who has had a tendency to read his speeches or at all events to make us think that he is looking at his notes a good deal too frequently, has never been better than on this occasion, as, carried away by the ardour of his thoughts, he exclaimed we will pool everything in the world for the common good of Man . The House then divided, and there were for the Motion 3, against l3. Present l6. 381 THE ASHBURIAN ll . Q i fa ,X f .. , 1 .

There were no Seconders The HON. MOVER, opening the Debate, said that his platform paints were as follows3 ll every war criminal, who has been responsible for the suffering or death of allied people, from Himmler down to the pettiest Gauleiter, must be tried. A - 2l the German nation as such must cease to exist, it must be divided up into small states. 3l it must be mode to pay reparations to the full He anticipated various objections that there might be to this course by naming some and disposing of them. He was inclined to blame the Romans for the trouble the Germans had caused, because they never extended their empire beyond the Rhine. The Germans he said had never been united before the XlXth century, and when they became so, what happened? Three wars have followed. Treaties have ben looked upon as scraps of paper, and millions of lives that might have been happily and usefully spent, have been thrown away. The Germans in fact have never really tried, we must make them try. The HON. OPPOSER argued that such sweeping changes are impossible The leopard and his spots give us the necessary example. It was impossible to make a clear break in Russia. It has taken 25 years to make it, and in this case it must be remembered that the Russians themselves wanted the change, which was therefore brought about by the cooperation of the people. Such a change would be impossible to impose upon a people subjugated by another nation. Therefore we were faced he said, on winning the war, with the choice of annihilating the Germans or of being lenient with them. Faced with such 0 decision it was only right to look at history. Napoleon took over Europe in a big way. French officials were put in everywhere and the continent was to be French-dominated. What happened? His Empire lasted ten years, Annihilation by breaking up the country was therefore nonsense, he con- cluded, and as for trying them, well obviously it would really be quite impossible to try them all so why make a farce of it by trying some? He denied that the people were so steeped in barbarity as the l-lon Mover claimed. Such a people could not have produced so many poets and musicians The debate was then thrown open to the House and at once NORTHCOTT arose and made, we thought, the best speech of the year. Unfortunately the Secretary has practically no record of it. The Fact is that the speech so engaged his attention by the rounded periods, wide vocabulary, and mordant remarks that it contained, that instead of getting on with his job, he sat back and enjoyed it. The substance of the later part of the speech was that two wrongs do not make a right and that we have no need to follow the example of our semi- H01 THE ASHBURIAN civilized enemy beyond ensuring that they repair the damage they have caused in a material way. I-le was in favour of the dismemberment of the present Germany and therefore in a qualified way supported the motion. lSupportedl HOLMES was against the idea of destruction and dismemberment. Why, he asked, should innocent people suffer because their leaders have been so bad? The task was too difficult anyway. I-le would prefer to take advantage of the fact that the Germans were by common agreement both obedient and adapt- able. If a few could be set determinedly on the right way by us the United Nations, then the rest would follow. I-le felt that the ideas expressed in the Motion were treacherous and unfair . lOpposedl SHENSTONE asked the I-louse to think what would have happened if things had gone differently in l94O. Germany would almost certainly have divided up England in some sort of way, and would that have been accepted? Most certainly not. You cannot destroy a nation in that way, it can only be destroyed from within. Imagine the underground groups that there would be to unify once more East Anglia and Sussex, split by the conqueror's decision. You cannot sweep a National spirit away in a single defeat. I-le agreed of course that Germany must be punished, but not in the way of liquidation. lOpposedI NELLES said that there was no intention in the I-lon. Mover's mind of destroying Germany by the application of military power after her defeat, but every intention of rendering her harmless by a military government which as in Italy would give way in due time to a free German government. lt was non- sense ta point to the great musicians and works of art that the Germans had created-since they had destroyed much more than they had created. lSupportedl THE PRESIDENT asked the I-louse to decide the simple question: do we want to help Germany to her feet or crush her utterly? In the former case she will once more, ruled from Berlin, be under the sinister influence of the Junkers. Ever since the Germans were united in l87O there has been trouble for the world which has nearly been conquered twice, The British lunited since lO66l can be good judges of whether it is desirable to discontinue the unification of Germany. lSupportedl ELIOT I said the I-lon, Mover was a subscriber to the doctrine of Mein Kampf, l-le was rash enough in passing to imply that Berlin now we believe largely a mass of rubble was one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I-le was in favour of getting Germany to find a leader for herself within herself. lOpposedl BOUTIN, reminding of the theories that he had propounded at a previous debate, said that we might all be brothers but that it was very evident that the Germans are the black sheep of the family. Since the main reason for the present attitude of Germany to the rest of the world was that Prussia had managed to influence all the other states since their unification, it was obvious that liquidation must take place, in the sense of division into the original states. THE ASHBURIAN H, , Furthermore a powerful military occupation by the United Nations must tate place, for if we were to leave it without such an occupation there would be constant trouble with the Problem Child of Europe. iSuppartedi HARBEN I felt that he would like to shoot them all. But this was im- possible, and indeed he went further to say that he believed that the kind af division that had been discussed was also impossible, because the bindmg spirit of nationalism was so strong, What he WOULD do however and what COULD be done was to exterminate the Junker class, the people who have guided Germany to war through so many years. BIRCHWOOD said that death was punishable by death, if there were problems in connection with the workers in the factories who had only been accessories in the slaughter that the Germans had inflicted on the world, perhaps deportation could be arranged. Referring to the question of the creation of works of art by the Germans, he said that the principal art that they had Contributed to a suffering world was the art of WAR. lSupportedi Time was now getting on, and there had not been a moment between speeches. It became necessary to close the debate to the House and the closing speeches were made by the two principal speakers. The House then divided and it was found that there were ll in favour of the Motion and ll against it, present 22 members. The PRESIDENT then declared that the Motion not having resulted in a clear win must be considered lost. This was an excellent debate, arranged at rather short notice, and the standard of the speeches was gratifyingly high. We were glad to welcome the Headmaster and Mr. Walsh as visitors. The SIXTH meeting of the Society took place on Friday May Sth, when William Eliot moved that 'in the opinion of this House the Internal Combustion Engine has done more harm than good to Mankind'. The Hon. Mover in his opening speech made a series of rather startling statements in his attack on the infernal machine, the l.C. engine. He asked what would happen in the future for instance now that aeroplanes fly so fast because the nervous strain inflicted by this enormous speed would be too much for the passengers just as it is proving too much for the pilots at the present day. As we listened to this we felt rather like the people who in the history books had to listen to attacks on the railway train, which was going to kill all the birds with its fumes and frighten the animals to death in the fields. Much of it was good but the exaggerated statements gave a big handle to the opponents who were in the majority. The Hon. Opposer made a very good speech indeed, and his choice of words was admirable. He tore to pieces the arguments of the Hon. Mover and had a lot to soy on his own. The following contributed to the debate? and in the order that they are set down. Holmes, Shenstone, Matthews, the Secretary, the President, North- cott, Hatch, Warburton l, and Spencer. On a division being taken the debate was lost by EIGHT votes to THREE. l42l '1'l1E ASHBURIAN RUGBY FOCTBALL l943-44 FIRST Yll COLGURSL E. Pilgrim P, Richardson H. Bulpit D. Hooper L. Chapman R. Sablin. HE season of l943 started with not only the largest turnout in many years, but also with great enthusiam from the youngest players to the oldest. Not for some years has Ashbury managed to turn out two evenly matched teams which could practise against each other to their training ad- vantage. Thus the Ashbury Football season got under way. At first most of the time was spent teaching the newcomers the different plays, which later led up to the conditioning and the fundamentals of tackling and blocking followed by thorough practice in signals. Once the season got underway the squad had their usual practice games against the New Edinborough Rovers and Nepean Seniors. These first games were lost ll-l and 9-l mainly from lack of drive amongst the Ashbury squad. Later, after several heavy work-outs the team played a thrilling game against the Rockcliffe Ramblers, this time Ashbury showed more vigour and tried harder, Great credit goes to McNabb ll and Smith I, who after spectacular 50 yard runs through the oposing team made two fine touch-downs, thus Ashbury won l2-5. The last practice game of the season was played against the New Edinborough Rovers who once again trimmed us l8-3 after a very hard struggle. Although Ashbury lost their two games in Montreal against LCC. and BCS. the season as a whole proved to be beneficial to everyone. The team showed good spirit and tried hard at all times. The sportmanship was very encouraging and these are the main factors in making a really successful season. We hope that this season's mistakes will be the success of seasons to come. Credit is due to our coach lvlr. A. D. Brain for turning a collection of beginners into a team which, although owing to inexperience did not win our main matches, fought hard and made a very good showing against obviously stronger opponents. By sacrificing his time to give us a better knowledge of the game and a better timing for our plays he enabled us to win at least two matches. The knowledge gained by the younger members of this year's team will be largely responsible for turning out a fundamentally good squad for the l944-45 football seaon. FIRST Xll CHARACTERS E B.

Versus Bishops College School, Lost 27 - O Our annual encounter with Bishop's College was played on the Lower Canada grounds in Montreal on Oct. 30, the field was quite wet and a steady wind blew from the lower posts up the field. Ashbury kicked off against the wind and it was not long before Bishops had the ball around our end. In the Ist quarter Bishop's scored twice and converted once. After the change of ends Ashbury resorted to kicking with the wind and on one of these kicks Sablin picked up a fumble and ran for a touchdown, however the play was recalled for an off-side. Bishop's scored again and at half-time the score was I7 - O. In the 3rd quarter Ashbury pressed hard right from the kickoff after regaining their own kick. The ball was carried to within a yard of the opponents' goal line by Bulpit and Richardson after a series of plunges. ln the last auarter Bishop's scored two unconverted touchdowns and at the end of play the score was 27 - O. Versus Lower Canada College, Lost 27 - 5 Away The second match for the Championship was played in Montreal on Nov. 6. The field was similar in state to that of the previous week but there was not such a stiff breeze. Lower Canada received the kick and marched up the field for a major score and repeated the proceeding not long afterwards. At the end of the first auarter Lower Canada led Il - O. During the 2nd Quarter our opponents THE ASHBURIAN HS, used end runs and forward passes, in this way scoring two unconverted touch- downs. They also kicked a rouge adding an extra point. Throughout the lst half the school played muddled football and missed vital tackles. However after halftime the team played with better iudgment. Right from the kick off we fought up the field and Richardson went Over for a major score after executing a brilliant end run. Both teams played hard 'football and moved about the centre of the field until the end of the quarter. Again right from the whistle Ashbury fought for a score, but Lower Canada ran for a touchdown that was not converted. Still the School battled and on the last play of the game we attempted a forward pass that was not completed and the final score rested at 27 - 5 for Lower Canada. Although the outcome of the game was practically decided in the first .holf our opponents were playing an invigorated and entirely different Ashbury team in the second half. V like- INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL N the season of l943, owing to the sudden interest and enthusiasm in Foot- ball, Ashbury for the first time in some yeors produced Intermediate and Junior Teams. These squads started drill with much keenness and soon learnt the funda- mentals of football along with the Ashbury plays and also took part in the .same routines as the first team. The newcomers showed a very fair sense of football and together with the more experienced members formed two very successful squads. The first Intermediate game against the Lindenlea Tigers was lost, this was due mainly to the fact that it was early in the season and the players had little experience. However in a return match, Ashbury won I8 - 6 and in this -game many fine examples of football were shown. The team played as a whole -and together formed many excellent end runs which in turn gained valuable -yards. In the first annual game against Lower Canada which was played on .Ashbury ground, both teams showed much drive and determination. Although Lower Canada were fast the Ashbury squad played well together and carried the school to a 29 - 2l victory. Thomas, Hamilton and Hooper ll distinguished themselves by getting well-earned touchdowns. In the return match on Lower Canada grounds, the opposing team out- splayed Ashbury right through the game, although, in the last quarter Ashbury made a comeback to score three touchdowns leaving the final score at 28 - l5.

B. Pilgrim R. C. Thomas G. H. Read H. F. Bulpit. HE Hockey season of l944 opened with a very keen squad of players all of whom had great enthusiasm but in the main lacked experience. This latter, was undoubtedly the outstanding weakness and inspite of' the excellent sportmanship and hard playing, was the main cause of dis- appointing results. The first forward line played good and hard hockey and on many occasions displayed very fine skill and boldness in attacks, compelling the play to be mainly around the opponent's goal. The second line was not so successful and although each member tried hard failed to give adequate support to the' defence. The school once again was coached by Mr. VV. J. Touhey, who has in- tructed Ashbury hockey squads for some years. As formerly, he concentrated? on the finer points of the game and by his insistance on true sportmanship, he taught us lessons of greater importance even than those of playing hockey. Our preliminary games with a local team called the Red Devils, were most helpful in that although we lost by a small margin they afforded us excellent practice. ln these games Thomas and Read especially distinguished themselves- by their hard driving and fast skating, yet special praise is due to Sablin for a great display of goal tending. The chief victory of the season was that obtained over the Old Boys who after a hard fought battle were defeated 5 -,-4. Less spectacular was the victory over a team from St. Pats. lt is not always fair to judge a team by results for and against. The whale object of sports is not always to learn how to win, but ,whilst always striving to win to be able to accept defeat even when and if victory was deserved. This has always been, and we hope will always will be, characteristic of Ashbury sportmanship. FIRST VI CHARACTERS E. B.

The sguod wos cooched by our l-leod-moster, who stressed the importonce of wide open offensive ploy mingled with the fine points of the gome.

Chopmon The defensive combinotion of Chopmon ond Smith soved mony o criticol situotion ond owing to their effective ploy ground the gool, Soblin hod very little trouble in stopping mony of the weolcer shots which come his woy. There were three motor gomes during the seoson, two of which were ogoinst o very experienced Air Force teom, ond the other ogoinst o gome Lower Conodo teom, The two motches ogoinst the Airforce were both keenly contested, how- ever Ashbury monoged to rouse o 3 - 2 victory in the first gome but lost 4 -I in o return motch. THE ASHBURIAN 1491 In the annual game against Lower Canada College both teams played hard, but the Ashbury squad seemed to be somewhat more experienced and as a result they carried the school to a 6 - O victory. P. Richardson and P. Grove played an outstanding game and both scored three goals each. The season of I944 thus closed, and is considered a very fine showing of Ashbury S0ccer Skill.

Sablin T the beginning of the Cricket season Ashbury had seven members of last year's team. Four additions were made to fill in the remaining places and practising began in earnest. Under Mr. Brain's able coaching a team quickly took shape. Several good matches against teams of the Ottawa Valley Cricket Councili Cathedral, Ottawa. Defence, and New Edinburgh, ISO! THE ASHBURIAN H 15 Zilla Ji 'S Lett to l?ighteeBai3ic Row J Pettigrew lScoreri, H Price, B Harben, J Smith, A Hurtley, H Bulpit, W Eliot, G Bead, Pi l-latch llvlanagerl Front Row E Pilgrim, P. Harben, P Richardson, L Chapman, R Sablin provided excellent practice and valuable experience tor the two Montreal games g The lst eleven travelled to Montreal on June 2nd and played LCC on their own grounds in the afternoon ot the same day. Ashbury batted first and atter some brilliant play by Richardson and Chapman we declared at TGO runs tor 9 wickets. LCC then went in and were all despatched for 32 runs, Although we beat LCC last year in almost the same way Bishops routed us the tollowing day and by remembering this we did not allow ourselves to become too confident. The day ot the Bishop's match was bright and cool with a fresh wind blowing, BCS. won the toss and batted first The Ashbury tielders were right on their toes and the bowlers were in top torm. So brietly did each Bishops batsfnen grace us with his presence that we had time to exceed their score ot l3 runs betore lunch Atter lunch we toolc up where we had lett oft and continued to bat steadily until tive thirty when we declared at l5B runs tor six wickets to let them bat tor an hour betore the stumps were drawn, We owe much to lvlr, Brain tor his great interest in the team and tor his guidance and encouragement in every department. Our thanks are also due to sergeant-mayor Henry tor the very expert iob he did in mending the bats, Although a deteat such as we intlicted on Bishops cannot be expected to occur olten we teel that our victory made up to a great extent tor last year, and will give contidorice to next yeor's teams Till .'IXlIl.I 'Rl.'I X C., . - -C CHARACTERS L C LS?f I'I.'-'- I .' 1 'IV' :T I- - IQ 131 ' I ' .

Shortly atter the school reopened in January the First team consisting ot Price I, Sablin, Dixon, l-larben I and Price ll represented the school at the Ault Trophy Race at Camp Fortune, and although the result was not good, the ex- perience gained was yaluable. Later a yery enjoyable week end was spent at the Seignory Club where the Dunning Trophy Races took place. Untortunately Price l broke his cable on the down hill and so tailed to finish, with the result that the team was disaualitiecl Hooper l, Grove l and Grove ll accompanied the team to lvlontebello and took part in some ot the races as indixridual contestants, The team was made up ot Price l, Sablin, Dixon and Price ll Taking all in ally while there were a great many people out on skis, we didn't teel that it was taken xery seriously from thc- practice point ot xriew.

The weather was fine, with a light breeze to tone down the heat, making for ideal running weatheri ' A new feature was the under ll race race for juniors. This division was introduced for the first time this year, as it was felt that keener competition would result by dividing the juniors and allowing them to run against boys their own age instead of having to compete against boys older than themselves. The under ll race got under way first, followed by the remaining juniors. As soon as they were clear, the under lo race started, and finally the senior race. Unfortunately, owing to a misunderstanding of the course, the under ll race lost its way and the race had to be run again a few days later. ln the junior race Grove came in first, followed by Letsan ll. The under lo race was very well run, being won by Brian Castle. l-le set a new school record for the course, knocking two minutes off the old record and finishing strongly, Wally Schroeder came in second, ln the senior division, E. Pilgrim won handily, with l-l. Sablin finishing second. As mentioned above the under ll race was run again a few days later and was won by Carstairs, Weltlaufer finished second.

Already we have had two School Concerts at which the en- thusiasm displayed by the audience has been only eaualled by the vim and snap exhibited by the performers themselves. ' This term their fame has spread beyond the confines of the School and on two occasions they have performed in public by special request. At St, Bartholomew's Parish Hall two performances of Eliza Comes to Stay were given in aid of the Red Cross Fund, and the Ashbury Orchestra provided the music between the Acts, etc., and made quite a popular hit . 1 'ms ASHBURIAN 159, 0 To the Editor of the Ashburian THE BARBER Sir-Would it be in order to suggest to the artist who so frequently cuts our hair, that he should in future bring with him his shaving materials?

M. F. January lOth, I944 Dear Dr. Woollcombei Very many thanks for your very kind letter of 20 Oct. which reached me just after the New Year. It has been a great satisfaction to me to have had the opportunity to be of some service during the very difficult times now passing. I think that anyone who has seen war at first hand realizes its grimness and great destructiveness but I hope that we never again fall into the trap set by the belief that we can maintain peace by wishing for it. I-lad we, ten years ago, set forth one hundredth of the effort now demanded of us, the war could and would have been avoided. I hope you will have an opportunity to give my very best wishes and regards to the Headmaster, Board of Governors and the boys of my Old School. With sincerest good wishes to yourself and your family. lsgdl Guy Simonds.

Lieutenant Robert Stedman ll938l wins the MC. on the field. The citation is as follows: At l43O hrs. 6 Oct., Lt. Stedmon's tp of tanks was covering the demolished bridge and the bank of the river Volturno one mile west of -1. Owing to demolitions, no vehicle could cross the canal to -, which it was suspected was still held by small numbers of German Infantry, who were also on the north bank of the river. The area was under accurate fire from arty, motors and small arms. I was anxious to know if the bridge at 1-, believed from air photographs to be a pontoon, was still there. It was impossible to see it with- out going west of the canal. I therefore gave orders that someone was to go on foot to where he could see the bridge and report on it. Lt. Stedman's san comd gave him the task: accompanied by his gunner Tpr. Ballam, he went forward under accurate and heavy mortar fire for a distance of IOOO yards into the village itself, went right up to the bridge, inspected it and produced an ac- curate sketch while under constant fire from MG 6 Mortars and returned under the same fire. --He carried out his task with the greatest courage and calm, and produced extremely accurate and valuable infm, showing complete disregard for his personal safety. 1621 THE ASHBURIAN H-O The Editor, Cdn.

The woys of living, the customs ond hobits of the people, the speech, the food, the generol scene-oll this is stronge to one who hove lived virtuolly oll his life in Ccinodo. l-loving thus mode o somewhot vogue generolizotion, I should like to describe two things which mode o deep impression on me. Of these the first is o poverty which is olmost totol both in its degree ond in the number of souls it concerns. The Sicilions oll put the blome of their poverty on Mussolini, To the enquiring soldier they describe the mon in no gentle or kind words. - Everyone, mon, womon ond child, hos clothing thot is worn, torn, potched ond re-potched. A suit of clothes or ci dress moy be seen in certoin towns on Sundoy morning, but ot other times ond in other ploces one sees only rogs ond potches. Shoes ore very rore, those thot exist being invoriobly worn by the fother of the fomily while his wife ond children must needs go bore-footed. Consequently when these wretched people see o British soldier with his stout boots, his cleon ond duroble clothing, his plentiful ond voried food, it must seem to them thot someone hos blundered seriously, thot they, too, should hove these things. Perhops seventy-five per cent of the populoce of Sicily is wholly dependent upon ogriculture. ln hoppier doys, whot wos not consumed on the islond found o recidy morket in mother ltoly, ond some of her produce wos exported to Fronce, Britoin, Americo, ln ltoly there hcive been fewer persons oble to buy, ond less money with which to buy. Of oll this the result is on olmost totol bock of morket for the produce of this potentiolly rich islond. Thot o country which hos proved itself copoble of producing o foirly well equipped ormy ond which hos given the world excellent inventors, scientists, ond men of letters, thot such o country should be totolly unconscious of the need of sonitotion seems incongruous if not impossible. Yet in oll ltoly, ond porticulorly in Sicily, dirt, filth, ond diseose ore everywhere. Fomilies live with their goots ond fowl, shoring o common room. Gorboge is disposed of by the simple expedient of tossing it into the street. Boths, toilets, sewoge systems---these do not exist. Woter oppeors to be used solely for irrigoting orchords. ln the smoller towns the houses ore filthy ond the streets invoriobly noi- some. ln some of the lorger towns o few instonces of ottempts ot improve- ment ore noticeoble, but these ore woefully few ond inodequote. Whcit hos been written here connot hove creoted ony fovouroble impres- sion, Yet it seems quite within the power of mon to moke greot chonges in Sicily, chonges such thot o description of the new Sicily could but pleose. THE ASHBURIAN l63l The opening of a market to her varied produce should set her on her teet financially. Any land that can offer oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruits, olives and olive oil, grapes and wine, figs, and a host of other agricultural produce in smaller quantity, can surely find some place in commerce. Then, too, a more advanced and expansive education, available to and obligatory on all, should do much to better the distressing sanitary conditions. This, in turn, would not only make the island more healthful but also encourage the visits of that most profitable item, the tourist. For the latter, an improved Sicily could offer much. Ten thousand foot Mount Etna, with its snowy cap and its latent volcano, the ancient cities of the Greeks with their ampitheatres and their narrow, crooked streets, beaches several miles in length with their famed blue waters, roads that twist and climb along the rocky routes of erstwhile ox cart track- such could a new Sicily offer. Since leaving England I have seen no Old Boys, though there are doubt- less some in Sicily and here in Italy. Life here is really pleasant and easy, and if one must be away from home this seems to me to be the best place. Faithfully, William Ellis ll938l 102 It 3 lExtracts from Lettersl Ken Abbott Smith ll943l from St. Margarets Sea Training School. We are supposed to get up in the morning promptly at six-thirty. However this is strictly in the realm of supposition, and about the only people that do get up at this.frightful hour are those that are on guard duty. The rest are usually never up before seven o'clock. From seven-fifteen to seven-thirty we have P.T., which of course brings back fond memories of P.T. at the school. Also l might add there is absolutely no difference between the P.T. given here and the P.T. of pre-defence period at Ashbury. At nine-fifteen we have roll- call or muster as it is called, and from here we are assigned to various classes. These classes include, Boxing and learning the points of the compass, International flags, Semaphore, Morse code, Rowing, Sculling, Coxwain, Seamanships, Ropesplice, Wiresplice and last but not least Derrick and Winch. These are all the essential subjects and exams must be passed in all of them before you leave. So far I have passed six out of the eleven, Compass, Inter- national flags, Semaphore, Rowing, Sculling and Seamanship, This is quite a lot for less than four weeks and so it is not much worth my while to do many more for a while as l have still quite a while to go. Besides the classes there are lectures on, the rules of the road, elementary navigation, ship con- struction and so on which are all given by the Captain, but on which no exams are required. These classes continue ,from nine-fifteen till ten-thirty when there is a fifteen minute break. Then the classes continue till eleven-forty- five when we stop for the morning. At twelve o'clock we have our dinner. Then at one-fifteen we again muster although there is no roll-call, and we are again assigned to various classes. These continue till three-thirty. From three-thirty on we are free to do as we please. We have our supper at five I64j THE ASHBURIAN 0'clock ond our evenings ore free. It is in this period thot they hove closses in extro subjects such os Trigonometry, which of course I om ovoiling myself of the opportunity to ottend. Doug Weory lI939l writes thot he is in the Anti-Aircroft Division RCA. l'm stotioned ot Huntingdon ond they monoge to keep us pretty busy. Our troining wos very interesting. I om now o LfCpl. ond it's ci lot of fun teoching other fellows. I went to Fornhom on o Smoll Arms Course ond monoged to do foirly well. Dick Goodwin H9427 is stotioned up ot Fornhom ond we sow o lot of eoch other during the month I wos there. Jim McGowan ll942l is somewhere overseos ond judging from his lost letter he is well ond everything is going oll right . :jc :,: :,: Tony West lAbingerl writes from Wellington thot he likes the school pretty well ond isn't doing too bodly. I-le soys,Don Forson lAbingerl is leoving ot I7 to go to the school of Slovonic Studies to Ieorn Russion. I-le olso soys It mode me very proud to heor thot Lewin Chopmon is heodboy of Ashbury- thot on Abinger boy should now be heod of the school. It mokes me think bock to the doy when we orrived slightly scored ond very bewildered. To think thot we hove oll grown up so much under the guidonce of Ashburyj ot onyrote, Ashbury is Iorgely responsible. It wos o surprise to me thot Lewin should be heodboy, for I hove never thought of him os being so oldl I imogine thot I would find the ploce very much chonged nowg oll the senior boys in the Army ond new ones in their ploces. And olso the school must be o little smoller since so mony of your guests hove returned home. I-lis brother Dick West IAbingerl is getting on well ot Ivlorlborough ond thoroughly en- joying himself. Tyler Spofford Il942l writes thot oll goes well with him in the R.C.A.F. I-Ie hod been with Buzz I-Ieoth ll942l for o while in Toronto. I-Iis brother .Elliott Spofford ll94ll is doing well ot Alldershot in Englond ond Guy Fisher Il942l is in Indio ond finding it hot ond lonelly. Roger Spielmon IAbingerl writes thot he got home sofely, but thot his ship rolled considerobly. I-le wos on the point of going to Stowe, ond expects the people there to hove os big o shock os his porents got on seeing his height. u. .v. .-. .,. .,. .,. Michoel Ney ll942l writes from the Novol College ot Royol Roods My Christmos stonding wos 22nd with 68.679, I stood first in English with 9370, first in I-listory with 787. The rest wos not very inspiring but I think l've reolly got on top of things.-I hope thot you liked the mogozine thot I sent on to you, it wos the product of much sweot ond teors, ond it wos o source of 'much surprise thot it ever come out ot oll considering thot we didn't hove ci cent to our nomes when we begon, We now hove quite o serviceoble surplus which will go to moking this coming issue o bigger ond better one so the phrose goes.

LITERARY SECTICDN A A U01 THE ASHBURIAN TELLING YOUR DOCTCR WHAT IS WRONG WITH YCDU HAT a bane is an Algebra test, especially when you're not at all sure of yourself. Let us suppose for the moment that you have one tomorrow. On going to bed you cajole yourself into a happy-go- lucky frame of mind by telling yourself that if you pass you pass and if you fail-well don't think about it, it won't do you any good now, go to sleep, And so after weighing your chances over and over again you eventually doze off. You wake up in the morning confronted with the prospect of the test, you'll never pass, no, it's no use fooling yourself any longer it's an impossibility there seems only one way out. You wait, suddenly the alarm clock goes off, you let it ring for some time then stop it and remain in bed working out your strategy. You hear your mother coming down the passage towards your room so you pull all the bed clothes out, rumple them up and assume a haggard expression. When she comes in you don't groan as in stories, you just lie there as if you didn't know she was in the room and try to look as ill as possible. What on earth is the matter with youu? she says, no answer, she repeats the question and you roll your head listlessly and mumble something about feeling awful. Your mother having noticed the state of your bed and realizing what a horrible night you have had, asks if you would like your breakfast in bed. You smile wanly at her and reply in a faint voice that you don't feel much like breakfast this morning thank you. lt's obvious that this makes a distinct impression, after a moment's pause your mother motions you to stay where you are and creeps from the room, a moment later you hear the dial of the telephone clicking. Now Peter you just lie quietly she says on, returning from the phone. l've sent for the doctor, l don't really imagine there's anything the matter with you but it's always best to be on the safe side . A technical hitch! you think, to fool your mother is one thing but a doctor is a very different propisi- tion. l-lowever you are beginning to believe in your malady by now and are determined to see it through. When the doctor arrives you pretend to be rather disapointed not to be going to school, While you are wondering whether that registered, he tells you to unbutton your pyjama top, then placing his stethoscope upon your bare chest he tells you to take a deep breath, you do so, at the same time gargling the saliva in the back of your throat to produce a nice bubbling sound in the doctor's ears. He asks you if you have any pain and after thinking fast you tell him dubiously that your stomach feels a little queer. Then there are the usual prodding and questions and at last the doctor leaves the room with your mother. When he has gone she comes back and says that there is nothing much wrong with you but you're to stay in bed for a couple of days. It being Friday this will include Saturday and possibly Sunday you are thinking, when the telephone rings and your mother goes to answer it, It was for you she says on returning, one ot your friends to say that the Algebra test has been postponed until Monday, so you have a couple of extra days study. Where are your school books dear? l'll get them for you so that you can start now. P.H. Vlb.

The gulls, which only o few minutes before were wheeling ond screeching obove the rocky coost, ore now still ond silent on the rocks, while the mortins, which ore usuolly skimming over the seo ot this time of doy, ore not to be seen. The hills in the distonce oppecir sinister ond depressing. There is not 0 breoth of wind ond the leoves ore scorcely moving on its few ond smoll trees which struggle for existence omong the stones. Even this close to the seo, the heot is stifling, ond the hoze obscures the out- line of the deserted islond off-shore. ln the distonce o few fishing-smocks ore 'making their woy hurriedly towords Iond. Suddenly there is o complete Colm, everything becomes completely quiet ond then the thunder ond lightning begin. The logged streoks of lightning flash ocross the sky ond the roin begins to pour down, The seo becomes very rough ond the fishing-smocks connot be seen.through the rom, which beots on the rocks with o steody thud. The wind whistles through the trees os the woves pound on the shores, Then, just os suddenly os it began, the storm ceoses ond the sky cleors, except over the mountains, from which occosionol rumbles of thunder con be heard, ond the sun comes through. Everything hos o cleon, fresh look about it, God is ot peace with the world.

He looked oround the little pond thot wos to be his home until he wos old enough to do his duty, nomelyi of ridding the formers of gorden pests. He wos ot first o complete stronger, he spent most of his time hoppily wriggling up ond down the pond, occosionolly eoting o smoll bug, he olso hod o hobbit of onnoying the other creotures of the pond, for this reoson he was very unpopulor, ond nobody ever spoke to him. But one doy, he went too for, he needed o lesson, he hod been swimming oround on old ill-tempered crowfish, whose nome wos Jock. Tod hod been pestering him oll offernoon, it wos the limit. Suddenly the crowfish snopped his deodly clows, with Tod in between them, Tod wos screoming ond shouting for help, but nobody wos there to heor him, ofter struggling for ten dreodful minutes he broke loose from the fotol grip. He wriggled owoy, crying, he hod lost his toil, his deorly beloved precious toil, he felt lonely without it ond he could borely swim, then for the first time in his life one of the creotures of the pond spoke to him, it wos the kindly old Iizord, his nome wos Gerord, he hod come to console Tod, he hod been ottrocted by the sight of the big teors slowly running down his little cheeks. You won't miss it much, soid Gerord consolingly.

VIb. ig-Q- SHALL WE GO T0 CHURCH TO-DAY MONIC- the first people to see the risen Lord on that far away Easter day, were two men who were going for a walk from Jerusalem to Emaeus. The most important word in the above sentence, is 'two', because if there had only been one man, no one would have believed his in- credible story. Had not this and another handful of incidents happened, where Qur Lord was seen after his crucifixion, one dare not think where the Christian Church body of men, who had cowered in the dark corners when their Lord was in trouble and who had even forsaken him for the price of their own hides, went out into the harsh wide world and preached the word at God-a miracle which only He could have brought about. This is one of the superhuman exploits of Christ and his original twelve disciples. When we look back on the history of the Church, we wander why it was that the Church grew rather than faded away. The reason for this ex- pansion was because the religion of the people was founded on the marvellous, miraculous works of Christ which could have only been done by the San of God, the promised Messiah. One of the reasons why we should ga to church, is because Christ offers us so much in his services at the altar, especially in the Communion service. Here Christ offers to forgive us if we will but believe in him. This is really very little for us to do, considering what He does for us by easing our troubled consciences. There really is a lot of benefit in going to Church or chapel even if we don't assimilate all its goodness, whatever the more sceptical among us may say- those to whom the rector has to say Happy Christmas at Easter as he will not see them again THE ASHBURIAN im So let us go to church especially in this time of war. lt is no use hoping that our friends are safe and well, Let us pray to God for their safety anrl then, and then only, will our hopes be heard. One last thing, let us remember at all times that we are not saints until we leave this earth even if we may think so ourselves and os we are only on this earth a very short time, let us make the best of our opportunities of at- taining near perfection, and so let us go into the temple of God and praise his Name for evermore, whether it be in a chapel, church or cathedral.

STAGE FRIGHT Only ten more minutes to go you think to yourself. You try and forget about it. You look at the floor, the table, the chairs, the pictures on the wall, ot anything in fact, to try and divert your mind. Your eyes settle on a picture. You admire it, you look at it very closely and study every detail. You've seen the picture hundreds of times before, but never before have you found it so interesting, so beautiful. lt's no good! You can't help it! You realize the futility of trying not to worry. For the first time you think you have not re- hearsed enough. For the first time you think it's not going to be o success. You glance at the clock. The time has come. The curtain rises. You are greeted by a dense silence. The footlights dazzle you. With icy clearness, your first lines cut through the vast blackness, somewhere in the midst of which you can imagine the audience, cold, critical and unreceptive. But soon you hear laughter. The ice is broken, and your worries go. You now continue with confidence, but even so, you are still greatly relieved when it is all over. J.N. Vlb, T781 THE ASHBURIAN THE TRAIL BLAZER A few years ago in a little mountain town in the Rockies, Lawrence Grassi, an ltalian miner, came into public notice. He performed a daring feat of strength and skill and great personal risk, when he carried a seriously injured Alpine climber to safety. During a prolonged strike, instead of loafing, and being a public nuisance, Grassi set out into the hills, axe on shoulder, to blaze new trails to points of interest. To him it was more or less a labour of love, for he loved the mountains and all their natural beauties, but he enjoyed having others share their beauties with him. Day by day he pushed his weary way through the seemingly never-ending bush, discovering the best ways of approach, blazing the trail, cutting out the thick underbrush, grubbing out stones and roots, bridging small mountain streams, placing seats on jutting lookouts, building crude fireplaces, and even placing serviceable rafts on the numerous little mountain lakes. Then cutting a zig-zag path up through the grassy slopes, among the many boulders and then finally back into the wilds until his new-born trail emerged on the narrow pony path at Whiteman's Pass. Grassi has done more than just build a trail, he has effectively taught a way of life, he has become for us a symbol and an inspiration. JRC. Form V AFTER COMPANY HAS LEFT Let him alone, old chap he'll come to in due course, that was all I re- membered, a blackness swept over me and as far as l was concerned the whole world had gone dead. lt must have been ten o'clock in the morning when l finally woke up- under the table. The room was scattered with empty bottles and my visitors had gone. All was chaos, everything seamed to be wrong, the pictures were tilted, the chairs upset and the whole room was reeking of whisky and stale tobacco. Most distressing of all was the state of my sideboard, all the cabinets were open and scarcely a bottle of my once-proud collection remained. Slowly l staggered to my feet and wandered into the kitchen to find some ice for my splitting headache. But, horror of horrors the refrigerator door had been left open and all the ice cubs had melted. At that l dropped exhausted onto my bed and attempted to fall asleep, but it was no use. Thoughts were continu- ally flashing through my mind, l would never have another bottle party as long as l lived. While the party lasted it was very enjoyable, but after every- one had gone- then came the pains of the hangover, then came the horrors of a filthy room, then came the labour of tidying up this disorder.

But under the able instruction of Mr, Harrison we enjoyed many games amongst ourselves. We also owe gratitude to SXM l-lenry, new to the school this autumn, for making real cadets out of us, ln Defence training he took great interest in us and organized Junior Cadet Corps, and near the end of the winter term gat every member qualified in signalling. During the same term we are also sorry to say we had no hockey match with Rockcliffe Public School. But an account of only light snow falls there really wasn't much hockey or skiing either. But even under such conditions great enthusiam was shown in both. By the beginning of the summer term several more English boys had left for their native land. At the beginning of the term we went for a series of runs before the weather was fine enough for cricket. On the 29th of April we had a final cross country race both Junior,, Intermediate and Senior. In the Junior Nesbitt lWoollcombel won. The next event took place on the night of May the l3th which was the boxing tournament, the fights opened in a bout between Grant ll and Bate. Bate put up a very 'good fight with Grant ll but just lost. One of the main features of the evening was l.etson ll's fight with Daniels, after fighting a hard bout with Paterson and beating him he took on Daniels ll. lt was a very close fight and took the breath away from the audience but l.etson finally collapsed under a terrific blow, The Junior school competition ended with Grant ll tiwinner of the first fightl and Shinner Ill it was also very hard to say who won but Grant ll was the victor. After that came the Cadet Inspection which, we think, was the best Inspection Ashbury has ever taken part in. We had our own band to play the the General Salute and a Cameron l-lighland pipe band for marching. We had an Attack Scheme and No. 3 platoon Iwho are mostly Juniorsl came in on the final Assault and No, 4 platoon who are all Juniors were the signallers, they also played a very important part. At the end of the Inspection Capt. I-lolmes addressed the Corps, l-le mentioned the importance of steadiness on parade. I-le also saidi . . . this corps ranks with the best l have seen yet. There was auite a bit of cricket, though we did not have as good a team as last year. The English boys are now going back one by one and a great blow to the school will be the departure of Mr. I-larrison. We are sure his teachings will be always remembered by those under him, I-lis spirit we know will remain in Ashbury for ever. CJM. and S.P.C.P. 'l'lI1i.-Milli! IC!

Tl-IEY don't remember when they were born, but often you heor them soying, 'lf only thot bicycle, or footboll, or whot ever it is, could tolk, wouldn't it be interesting to heor how it wos mode'. Of course we con't remember how we were model My first recollections ore os follows ..... It wos o mellow ofternoon. The sun shone not brightly, but just enough to worm you. I heord two boys tolking. Well, Jock, soid one voice, Iet's begin . All right , soid the other, ond corried me tenderly to the middle of the field ond loid me down. I knew, I don't know how, whot this wos. I wos on o soccer field ond I wos obout to ploy my first gome, And then suddenly o whistle blew ond I wos off. I sholl never forget thot gome, The ecstosy, the thrill, the joy of itl. Up, up, up into the cleor heoven, ond then down, to be tropped by some odventurous youth, ond then rocing olong the field ogoin till o well oimed foot swept me owoy, up the field this time, dodging, twisting, turning, then the swift possoges through the oir, to be tropped by o forword ond so on, on, on .... But oll things must end. And thot is why I om now lying here in on old shed with nothing but my dreoms to-but I hod better get on with the story. After the wild thrill of thot first gome I wos token by one of the boys to whot is officiolly known os the Gomes Room. I looked oround curiously. There were soccer bolls, some ovol bolls, which I guessed belonged to soccer's cousin rugger, some cricket bots cind stumps, ond even on old disused bicycle, which I found myself next to. In the bicycle I found o componion. The other bolls were houghty ond disdoinful, ond would not tolk to o mere newcomer, As for the bots, they hordly ever tolked except in the cricket seoson. But the bicycle ond I soon mode friends, I-le used to tell me stories obout his old moster, ond his journeys. When I told him obout my gome, ond the ecstosy I experienced, he soid, 'lt's something like my own trode. My moster used to toke me on trips. Oh, the glory of them! When we were going up o hill, he would be off his soddle, pedolling with oll his might, cind then come the wild swoop down ogoin, ond sometimes he .used to sing to me, especiolly on folling or flot ground, he yelled ond his eyes sporkled os the wind whistled by. Oh, it wos os if he were port of me, or I of him, my broin wos his, his minel On the long upword grind of mony ci steep hill I would feel his leg muscles toutening, os he urged me onword, ever onword. And he never gove up. Some people wouldn't believe him when he soid, I did such ond such o steep hill without getting off . They would just look ot him curiously, ond whisper behind his bock, there's o fine young Iior in the moking But if they osked ME, I could hcive told them. It wos true, oll of it. I never knew him to tell o lie , And the bicycle fell silent. If I wosn't o footboll l'd be o bicycle, soid I, wormly. And our friendship wos secure. The next doy wos drizzly. Drip, drip, drop, drop. I wos despondent ond so were the boys. Consequently the gome did not go well until for into the second holf, ond even then it wos no fun for me, rising up into the cloud ond IH!

If I had been a human then I would have burst into tears. But I shall always remember you, he continued, even when I'm part of an aeroplane, or a gun I shall remember So shall I, I replied. That night we talked till late for there was no hope of seeing each other again, we could only think and remember. And the next day they took him off, brave, Cheerful, confident, to the end. And when I am inclined to grumble I always thnk of him, who never grumbled. May he rest in peace Amen. One day a whole batch of new balls came in, and a rough hand took me and threw me out, This old thing's done a voice said, and I was chucked into an old gardening shed about a hundred yards away from the edge of the playing field. And here l am to this day. SP. Form Ill lq.0.3 AN OLD ASHBURY CAP I am an old Ashbury cap now. At first I was just a piece of green cloth. I was taken to a factory and was shaped into an Ashbury cap. The man who was making me went and got two boxes. Out of one of the boxes he got an Ashbury crest and sewed it on me. Then I was put into the other box with a lot of other caps and sent to a store. I was bought by a boy's mother. The boy wore me to school every day, but one day he lost me. He looked and looked for me, but he did not find me. I am still laying behind a bush waiting for someone to find me and take me back to my owner. D. H. MV. IB AN OLD UMBRELLA l am an old umbrella. Once I was just a few pieces of metal, a piece of black cloth, and a piece of glass. At that time I was in a factory, with buzzing machines all around me. Then my ribs were shaped into long flat pieces, then my handle was made into the shape of a cane, and the cloth was put over, my handle hooked onto the rest of me, and then I was put in a store. Two weeks later I was sold to a woman for her son's birthday which was the next day. The boy was 30 and his other umbrella had a hole in it. I was received gladly by him. When it rained he would take me out for a walk on his way to work, I liked to wait for him in the barber shop while he had his hair cut. He wore me out quickly, although I was very strong. Now I am very old and I am patched and torn. But he says I am the best umbrella he has ever had, so l am very happy. P. G.
