THE ASHBURIAN 9 EDITGRIAL 'r 'mls early time of writing, winter's sullen tale is told, and spring, the troubadour, has slipped almost imperceptiblv into his coloured coat and strings his jocund lute. Although the Season marks, chronologically, the latter end of a school year, it seems, spiritually, to be rather a beginning. lt is now that we begin to make plans for the coming year, to precur its promises for those who stay and those who go. The whole impulse of the season seems vigorously forward, rather than nostalgically or remorsefully backward. Let us by all means look forward. VVhat if the barred gate of examination does intervene, and tends, like the smoke of Hannibal's campfires, to obscure the view? We can stand on tip-toe, can't we? or fervently kneeling peek between the bars? or, from the supine position even, peer upward? However, as our history master tells us Cwith a sneer and a twinklel that we can evaluate the future only by an intelligent interpretation of the past, let us look briefiy backward also-over the passing school year. At this time twelve months ago we were dedicating the magazine to our departing headmaster, C. L. Ogden Glass, who was leaving to take over another school. At the opening last September we welcomed our new headmaster, Ronald H. Perry, to whom this present issue is dedicated. Mr. Perry received his early education at Bishop Ridley College, St. Catharines, from there he migrated for a year to Dean Close School, Cheltenham, England, then back again to St. Catharines Collegiate and thence to The Central Collegiate Institute in Hamilton, where he took junior and Senior Matriculations. He is a B.A. of University of Toronto, and M.A. Columbia CTeachers, Collegej. He came to us from a succession of distinguished assignments both in war and peace. For some thirteen years he taught at Pickering Col- lege, Newmarket. During the war he served with the R.C.A.F. in North Africa. Immediately before coming here he held the office of Dean of Residence of Ajax, a post war department of the University of Toronto. VVe therefore feel that he has rendered distinguished service as both administrator and organizer, and psychologist and educator. XYe would like to add that in his brief time here he has amply lived up to his PQISI record in these capacities. VVe wish him luck and continued success.
