10 THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIAL R031 under the highest eaves my window affords a fine view of most of Ashbury's acres and much of its outdoor activities. From this coign you can see to the southern boundary of the property, where the street cars sometimes linger to watch the games. To the eastern limit, too, the playing fields are visible, and only a small corner to the north-west is concealed by the jut of the building. ln the fall the soccer goals stand in the middle of the field, here is feverish activity, punctuated by an occasional malediction in Spanish and the crunch of shin-bone under toe-cap. Directly beyond, a seeth- ing mass of medium-sized football players plunge and tackle, and to the left their smaller counterparts are being taught to give and take. These are the second and third football teams. To the right, the first team bends, and bursts into sudden move- ment, or are at tackling, or blocking, or signal practice, while farther to the right, but hidden from the eye, there is an indescribable welter of small, shrill masculinity doing something or other violent. This is the fourth team at its chores. And so on, until long after the first prophetic powdering of snow. In the depths of winter you can see the outdoor rink to the left of mid-field. This is an athletic oasis in a surrounding desert of snow. It has been cleared by tractors, and flooded during the night by mysterious powers. Its boarded sides are buttressed by banks of snow and encircled on the outside by a highway of ice where beginners scramble and stumble. On the rink itself, the serious business of shaping future hockey teams goes forward. Between my window and the rink, from the side door issues a single file of long-striding, probing skiers. While in summer . . . but something too much of this . just before Easter a new and significant scene appeared beneath my window. Almost before the snow had gone, came a small knot of men accompanied by a grunting, shuffling monster that bopped its shovel nose against the trees and toppled them over and snouted them contemptuously aside. Came many more men, who closed the wounds and smoothed the scars. Since then, the construction of the new building has been progress- ing satisfactorily and is expected to be completed in the fall. This building, as many of our readers know, is to be a new classroom block
