16 THE ASHBURIAN And mav I again wish you, Sir, our Headmaster, his Staff and all those Bovs that have been committed to your care, may I wish you all a very happy and a most successful School Year. And, as the Founder of Ashbury, and because I wish the new Headmastership of Mr. Perry to be duly celebrated, may I ask that you will give the School a Half-Holiday at such a date, that you may con- sider a suitable one, but a date not in the too distant future. --1-cal RHODES HALL His year the school received a very handsome gift from Mr. E. N. Rhodes in the redecoration of the old Assembly Hall. This class- room is now appropriately called Rhodes Hall. The redecoration was extensive and all the students received it in a most grateful manner. The whole room is done in a robins egg blue with an adequate battery of fluorescent lights. New desks were also supplied, and the Hoor received a coat of linoleum. All in all this is a beautiful gift from one of our most faithful old boys and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Rhodes for his generosity in helping to make this school a more pleasant place to live in.

This por- trait was painted by an old boy, Bob Hyndman, and presented by the old boys, as what we consider a marvellous memento of a great man in the history of Ashbury College. It was unveiled at a very impressivc little cere- mony on November llth.
