3 THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIAL AJOR H. J. Woods, M.B.E., has just presented to the school Sadet Corps a very beautiful flag and this number of the Ashburian is dedicated to the past and present members of The Ashbury Cadet Corps. It seems fitting, therefore, that our Editorial should follow the same line of thought. We feel sure that the generosity of Major Woods was prompted by two main impulses: the desire to show appreciation for work well done, but also to impress upon all present and future Ashburians the supreme importance of tradition and team spirit which his particular gift symbolises. Tradition is the passing on of the unwritten practices and beliefs of past generations to posterity: and it is an important func- tion of a school such as Ashbury to build up its own traditions, to foster them and to pass them on to succeeding generations. As is pointed out elsewhere in this issue. each of the independent schools of Canada has built up a character and personality of its own which reflects its history and traditions. Two major wars in a quarter of a century have necessitated unwelcome breaking of tradition, too frequent changes in staff. and have made gaps in the ranks of Old Boys. Now, with an era of peace more assuredly ahead of us in a mechanical and changing age, where the finer things of life are too easily brushed aside, it is up to us all to foster and rebuild tradition and so pass on into the world men of character and person- ality who will resist the manifold temptations of easy living and moral laxity. We have all been delighted during the past year with the won- derful team spirit shown by those representing Ashbury in various branches of sport. But we are ALL members of an Ashbury team , a team which is daily judged by all who come in contact with us as individualsg let us show thc samc team spirit which has won us acclaim in the sports world and as members of that team do our best to carry our flag high in honour respected by all. In conclusion lct us recall the words of Henry Newbolt: To-day and here the fight's begun. ' Of the great fellowship you're free: Henceforth the School and you are one. And what you arc. thc race shall he.
