SPORTS DAY CCGRDING to custom, we had fine weather not only on Sports Day, but also when running off the heats. There was a goodly number of spectators in view of it being a mid- week morning and some good races with close finishes were seen. Sablin's record of 10 2f'5 in the 100 yards was notable. Grant I's achievement in win- ning every Junior event has rarely been equalled. He naturally won also the Aylwin Cup for the Junior Champion- ship. Robertson won the Intermediate Championship and the Irwin Cup by a very narrow margin from Castle. Sablin again won the Fleming Cup for the Senior Championship, but Smith I and Pilgrim gave him a good run for his money. Results 100 yards, Senior-1, R. Sablin, 2, J. Smith, 3, P. Richardson.

THE ASHBURIAN apprenticeship as soldier and war cor- respondent, because he travelled to view half the battlefields of the world and has burned the midnight oil study- ing every important military and naval campaign in history. Mr. MacDonald spoke too of the late President Roosevelt, and his courage. Any but a man of absolute indomitable spirit would have bowed to fate and abandoned all thought of a useful career in government, he said. But Roosevelt never surrendered. Courage of Roosevelt One element in the great man's courage had been his sense of humor, the speaker said. No public man in this century has set such a superb example of lovely virtue and courage, nor demonstrated more effectively what great things they can do, the British High Commissioner said. He called on the students to remem- ber always the art of hero worship, and profit by studying their heroes. Yes, he said, let us look often along the gallery of heroes and learn from them the' manly virtues. The thought of such men, whether they be famous or humble, is inspiring. Never be ashamed of worshipping a hero. They better than anyone can teach us the practice of the virtues. We can learn from them those great human qualities that turn boys into men, and sometimes men into gods. It was the British High Commissioner who towards the close of the ceremony made the presentation of awards to the students. Several of these went to M. Shenstone, who took the Governor General's Medal for the best academic standing in the school. The Southam Cup, for the boy most 25 outstanding in work and games, was won by W. Eliot. The valedictorian, E. Pilgrim, began his address by paying tribute to the headmaster, N. M. Archdale, and wish- ing him success in his new duties at a school in Chile. He then continued by saying that during the past few crucial years, the boys at Ashbury had been training for the great task of helping build the peace, although they might not have been aware of the fact. Trained to Build Peace All their training had not been only in the classrooms, he said, but equally as much in working together, playing together, and living together. We are going out into the world now, the student said, some of us to the war against the Japanese, all of us to the war against greed, envy, hate and poverty. The new headmaster, who will assume his duties next fall, Lt. C. Ogden Glass, R.C.NfV.R., was asked to address the students, and his remarks were brief. He told the students he was looking forward to his being with them, and working with them. Also present for the closing ceremony of Ashbury were members of the board of governors: Rev. Dr. G. P. Wooll- combe, H. S. Southam, Lt.-Col. J. D. Fraser, Col. E. Newcombe, and F. A. Heney. Prize List Governor General's Medal, M. Shen- stone, Southam Cup, W. Eliot, Nelson Shield, E.
