THE ASHBURIAN 9 EDITORIAL Hell, like the fellow says, another year, another dollar. :Xt any rate, some two hundred and fifty of us have, even in spite of ourselves, gained something, maybe not a dollar but something, surely. What? lYhat are we after? The attempt to answer that question is a dangerous undertaking. One will almost inevitably sound either lyrically idealistic, which is humiliating, or tiresomely trite, which is worse. Nevertheless, here we go. Superficially we are after a piece of paper which will entitle us to seek another and perhaps another piece of paper, which will eventu- ally lead us to myriad pieces of paper bearing on one side the head of our sovereign. These, we hope, will carry us to green pastures in swift and subtle motor cars and in luxury liners of air and sea. F undamentally, however, we are after a commodity to which these indulgences may or may not contribute but which they certainly do not constitute: the sense of satisfaction, fulhlment, which can only be reached through education. For if man can count himself more for- tunate than the tadpole, then he can surely thank that tyrannical but benevolent schoolmaster, education, for his more blessed estate. lVe are, in short, after some vehicle which will carry us through our good years even more excitingly than a 300 H.P. sports model, and a consolation more dignified than a crutch on which to hobble into old age. At the risk of oversimpliiication, we shall say that the ultimate object of education is enjoyment. Let us seek it with a will.

SCHQOL NCDTES OPENING DAY On the morning of September 11th we once again assembled for the opening of the School year. Alr. Perry welcomed all boys, who again outnumbered last year's enrollment. The Headmaster especially welcomed the new boys. some of whom represented the 3rd generation of a family of Ashburians. The following day we were addressed by Nlr. R. TY. Southam, the Chairman of the Board of Governors. He gave a short speech. mentioning the new building and the record numbers. He then requested the Headmaster to grant us a half holiday.

The decorating and technical crews are to be congratulated on the excellent job they did. Xlr. Sibley continued with the Saturday evening movies. which were very nnich worthwhile. We owe him and the camera operators our hearty thanks. Une of the special feature-films was Alf, Sun
