R. S. V. Crossley, Rector of the Church of the Ascension, was the special preacher. Capt. G. lYoollcombe unveiled the window, and also at this service the two honour rolls of the last two wars were unveiled by Col. Roger Rowley, and XY. R. lfakin, hfsq. The window is a memorial for all the Old Boys of Ashbury College who fell in the 1939-1945 lYar. It contains the Air Force, Army and Navy crests, the torch of freedom, the sword of sacrifice, the College crest, the lamp of learning, and the school motto -''Preibitas-Virtus-Comitas . This indeed is a very beautiful addition to our Chapel, and makes the front of the Chapel more than ever a focal point for our devotions. Late in the Fall Term, new Cathedral Lanterns were installed with Hoodlights for the Choir. These lamps are of a unique design, and lit in beautifully with the rest of the Chapel, are a major improvement, and are much appreciated. XYe have had daily morning prayer in the Chapel, with full Xlatins on Sunday mornings, with evensong on Sunday evenings. Holy Com- munion has been celebrated once a month, with special service of lloly ' ' ti ' 1-5:- :Tl-, -2' l :fi- l l l l i l i

THE ASHBURI.-IN 15 the Duke of lsdinburghg Klr. ll. S. Southam for his gift of a line oil painting by Henri Klasson. We wish also to express our thanks to Nlr. Gilbert bl. Doane for his kindness in lending a television set for the reception of the Coronation ceremonies. Nora.-An interesting bit of Ashburiana has recently come to our attention: during work on the bell tower we were reminded by the in- scription on the bell that it was presented by Nlrs. james XY. XYoods on All Saints Day 1912. THE MGTHERS' GUILD Sci: again we are indebted to the fine work of the Mothers' Guild. This organization has been more active than ever, and we want them to know just how much the School appreciates their never failing interest and work on our behalf. ln addition to the complete redecorating, furnishing and equipping of one of the boys' rooms, they have provided attractive curtains for windows of the rooms throughout the School llouse, thereby adding that touch of hominess that is so important to the personal rooms of the bovs. Then, too, they have carried on throughout the year a pool of used sports clothing and equipment, where garments and gear which have been outgrown or discarded by the original owners may be picked up and put to good use by others who require them. This is indeed a most valuable service in the interests of convenience and eco- nomy to those concerned. Again, the Sehool's best thanks to all mem- bers ofthe Mothers' Guild.
