wa THE ASHBURIAN Parents' receptions this year featured such entertain- inents as a drama by Form I and choral speaking by Form IV Clubs The Debating Club-This vear, the Debating Club was unfortunate in having only one regular meeting. However, under the direction of Nlr. Tom Lawson we were able to gather together on Sunday R e afternoons for a half-hour or so, when each of us gave an informal and impromptu speech for about two minutes. Christmas Party. This - practice, together with the helpful criticism of Xlr. Lawson and the other participants, and the unique experience of hearing our speeches replayed SILIIICI' by Hf1l10WC'CH PHHY- stutter on a tape recorder, helped improve our public speaking markedly. In the first and only official meeting, Peter Carver and Kevin Koltz defeated by a narrow margin the motion that The return to power of TVinston Churchill was a good thing, proposed by Alan McCulloch, Raymond Lealoyne and Pat Beavers. The great event of the year was our trip down to B.C.S. where we debated with Lower Canada College. VVe opposed their motion which supported the appointment of a Canadian as Governor-General. The motion was carried by a Hoof vote of 26-19 by the Bishop's Debating Society. john Fraser and Rav LeMoyne were representing Ashbury. We hope that this event will be the first of several annual inter-school debates between the three schools. The International Relations Club-This year, the I.R.C. sponsored the mock trial of Alan Rosenberg for high treason. The court, under Xlr. justice Fraser, heard Crown Prosecutor Abbott and the Counsel for the Defence, Carne, argue as to whether or not Rosenberg had stolen certain secret documents from the Cadet Quartermaster's Stores. The -lury. led by Don Brown, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, after fifteen minutes of deliberation. The show was well-handled and made for an amusing evening.

24 THE ASHBURIAN CHAPEL GTES H143 decor of the Chapel has been greatly improved during the past year. During the summer, the Hoof of the Chapel was covered with linoleum and tile in a maroon and gray colour which blends in with the rest of the Chapel. We were also pleased to see new choir pews arrive early in the Fall term. They have been a great asset. The Mothers' Guild have made us two new sets of hangings.-the white and the green, and we are very proud of them. All of these improvements have enhanced the beauty of the Chapel, and add much to the reverence of the services. The general plan of services for the year has been to have one ll a.m. lloly Communion service a month, with Morning Prayer at the other morning services. There have also been Holy Communion services on special days. Short l'ivensong has been held Sunday evenings as usual. There has also been daily morning prayer. During daily services, the Prefects have read the lessons, and on Sunday mornings the lessons have been read by the Captain of the School. The leleadmaster addressed us this year on September loth, Decem- ber 9th, Nlareh 30th, and -Iune lst. Senior members of the staff have also given addresses as follows: Sept. 30th-.-X. ll.
