16 It has been brought to our notice certain older boys recollect the when the Flying J--s were on that time t.ime for chapel. He may be a brain, but he's all wet when it comes to showers. We find that the Head can also deal with M olotof cocktails. How was that triple Bromo at the Windsor, Mike? The Junior Algebra class is now really hot stuff. Stan's Twitch has now developed into St. Vitus' Dance. Some hunt ducks, and others hunt grouse, But our Prefects' goal is just a mouse. How's the water at the Aud, Cruz? The noble Editor of Panorama has discovered the new perils of the up- stairs bath. The boys in Junior French have dis- covered that Crime Does Not Pay. In case anybody is wondering, R.S.V.P. is the French for trouble . Bill and Dave were too much for the organ. We hear that since the Plays the fair but dubious Yasmin has received several proposals. Get down and lick his boots, Robbie. THE ASHEURIAN In reply to Mischa: No, there is no floor show at the Formal. We see that books are becoming quite a weighty matter around Ashbury. They didn't think brown would suit your complexion, Bill. They say Bill made a new record for the indoor mile that evening ..... After perpetrating the above, the Editor is going to shut himself in his Ivory Tower and lock the door .... At the invitation of the Lions Club, four boys had a unique opportunity. A project called Men of To-Morrow was conceived whereby two boys from each of the Ottawa High Schools were first guests at a weekly Lions Club lunch, to see what happened, and then ran a Banquet completely providing all the officials except the guest speaker. There were two series. At the first we were represented by Pilgrim and Eliot I and Foster Hewitt was the speaker. At the second John Fisher spoke and Shenstone and Sablin were Ashbury's representatives. All acquitted them- selves well in their various duties. The Lions Club is to be congratulated not only on giving the boys an oppor- tunity to speak and act in public, but, more important, to learn what service means.

THE ASHBURIAN During the year, instead of having chapel on Wednesday mornings, We had a short assembly, at which the Head- master spoke about the condition of' the school during the previous week, and made any important general an- nouncements. lt had been planned to have, in the last term, vocational talks by prominent people similar to those being held at the collegiates, but we were only able to have one. On the 25th of' April, Mr. T. W. L. ItIacDermott, of the Department of External Affairs, spoke to us of the opportunities and qualifications for a diplomatic career. We should like to express our gratitude to him for this valuable talk. The compulsory runs which were in- troduced last year have now become a regular feature. During the summer term, when tas often happenedl it was too Wet to play cricket, the Seniors and Intermediates had to run out to the R.C.M.P. barracks and back, a distance of three-quarters of a mile each way, in about twenty minutes. An efficient system of reports ensured that there were no laggards, and the plan pro- vided valuable training for the Cross- Country races. The casts of the Plays would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Archdale very much for the delicious refreshments after the show. Our thanks to the Matrons for their efficient handling of the chickenpox at Christmas. Due to their vigilance there were remarkably few cases, and little inconvenience was caused. A threaten- ing epidemic of whooping-cough was dealt with early and there were only two cases. The Prefects and Monitors would like to thank Mr. Brain and Mr. Archdale very much for the parties which they gave at the end of the year. 15 iYe would like to express our appre- ciation f'or the following interesting lectures: Vaptain l'ssher, on his experi- ences as a prisoner ol' war in flerinanyg the films by the representative ol' the Heinz Vo.: Sport and lndustry in Old and New Ontario by Mr. Humphrey, With his excellent slides: ivloilern Applications ol' lClectricity by the General Electric Vo. 3 The Magic of the Spectrum at the National Research C'ouncil. Dr. Woollcombe came to speak to us on January 19. His remarks, as always interesting and valuable. were especially appreciated because he asked for a half-holiday, which was granted. In the Red Cross campaign, was collected. This was an improve- ment over last year, but it still averages only about twenty cents for each boy. Surely we can be a little more generous. Both the Poppy Day and the Mer- chant Navy St. George's Day cam- paigns were quite successful, almost everyone in the school contributing. Who's the waffle- packin' mama? Will B. beat Bf? G. F
