v THE ASHBURIAN TI-IE HONOUR GUARD - 1957-1958 Bark Rout j. K. S. Berry, K. G. Cook, R. M. Nl. Dunn, R. M. B. York, M. E. Cheney, j. R. Gamble, C. j. A. Snelling. F. Pangman. Front Row: C. j. Moffatt, D. J. B. Sutherland, C. VV. G. Gale, C. Lt. A. E. Arnold, A. il. Sugden. C. Sgt. -I. S. Rowan-Legg, D. R. Boone. Following this were demonstrations by the junior Corps P.T. Squad, the junior Corps Drill Squad, and a Midget March Past. All of these squads performed admirably and much praise goes to them and to their instructors. After these squads had completed their demon- strations, Ashbury's newly-formed Bugle Band marched onto the field, and, under the leadership of Cflaieut. Bob Lackey, gave an excellent per- formance for such a recent innovation. VVith one year of hard work behind them, we sincerely hope that the Band will be continued next year. To demonstrate our knowledge in the fields of rifie. signals, L.M.G., first aid, and Held-craft, we incorporated these exercises into a mock battle. :Xs usual, this was enjoyed by all, even, I suspect, by those taking part. The members of Nlr. .-Xnderson's Gymnastic Team gave an im- pressive display of their physical powers topped by the formation of a human pyramid. Following the Gymnastic Team came the Guard of llonour, rcsplendant in their scarlet uniforms and bearskins. These tall, dignified Guardsmen, the elite of the Corps, went through several intricate manoeuvers climaxed by a thunderous salvo fired into the air. .Xftcr this last demonstration the Corps marched onto the field and formed a llollow Square. ln this position, Lieut. General Graham
