Co1'roN 3 THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIAL It seems that each year the same problem of editorial writing presents itself - what to say. And it is not too uncommon, I dare say, for the editor to think back on previous editorial writers and Wonder how they received inspiration. Of course, such musing is of necessity unproductive as they have all departed the school to seek fame and fortune in the great world outside. Pondering their search for fame and fortune did, however, lead us to enquire just what each had ac- complished since leaving Ashbury. And this is what we found. C. Hampson, editor in 194-8, went on to McGill and received his Engineering degree. He is now in business in Montreal. The Ashburian's 1949 editor, A. lVIacRae is now Rev. A. lVIacRae, holding degrees from McGill and Trinity College, Toronto. He is at present assistant rector of the Church of St. James the Apostle, Montreal. John MacCordick f195OJ after attending McGill, went to Heidelberg University to obtain his lVI.Sc., and is now teaching at Carleton High School, and doing research work at the University of Ottawa. W. Weeks, 119513 also a McGill graduate CB. Commj is now a successful insurance broker. J. Fraser went on from his post as editor of the Ashburian to become Editor-in-Chief of the lVIcGill Daily, and then attended Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar where he received his M.A. He is now in the External Affairs Dept. G. Carne, the 1953 editor is in Australia taking night courses at the University of Sydney. Georges Verhaegen, editor in 1954 and 1955, now in his final year of Engineering at the University of Brussels, has been on the Dean's List each of the four years. Steve Woollcombe C 19565 is now in his second year at Trinity College, Toronto, and has been President of his year both years. A. C. Van Schelle is now at the University of Leyden in the Netherlands, taking second year Arts. 21 PF X ki Fr The example of former Ashburian stall' serves as an inspiration to this year's stafl' just as it will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration to the staffs of succeeding years. THE ASHBURIAN 9 SCI-IGGL NOTES Q4 1 Q. , OPENING DAYS -N Opening Day, Sept. 10th found us again with a full enrolment. The Head- 'T' master in his opening address, intro- duced the new boys, welcomed the new members of the Staff and expressed his confidence that, with all shoulders to the wheel, we could look forward to sub- stantial progress again this year. On Friday, Sept. 12th at 1.4-5 P.M., the then Chairman of the Board of Governors made his customary ad- dress to the assembled School. He noted that we were indeed fortunate in having such a truly splendid Staff and expressed his satisfaction that we had been so successful in replacements for those few who had left us at the end of the pre- ceding year. He noted with concern, however, that some of the boys looked rather tired after the strenuous exertions of the summer, and thought- fully suggested that perhaps the best remedy for this condition might be a quiet half-holiday in the near future, this popular pre- scription was duly endorsed by the Headmaster. STAFF CHANGES At the beginning of this year we were joined by the following new Staff members: Rev. K. B. Monks fSen. School maths,lg Mr. J. J. Marland CUpper School maths.Dg Mr. J. F. Povey CUpper School hist., and geo.Jg Mr. D. G. Gamble CMiddle Schoollg Dr. K. R. Spencer Crem. readinghg Mr. M. Sherwood CJun. tutor, duty and gamesb. We learn that next year we are to be without the services of Messrs. Jobling, Kettleborough, Jackson and Gamble. XVe shall be sorry to lose them but we wish them the best of luck. ENTERTAINMENT The usual Saturday night movies were shown throughout the year - courtesy of Mr. Sibley and projectionists Sarkis, Bishop and 10 THE ASHBURIAN Detchon. It seemed to us that this year's aff: repertory was a particularly happy one. C it, On Saturday, November 8th Cas noted f igs A elsewherej the old Boys reunited and a supper . n l V , dance was held in their honour in Argyle. Z On November 16th at 2.20 in Argyle, the 9 Sf, School was treated to a musicale arranged by D j Miss Woodburn and enjoyed the following 115' im'-' - ' excellent performances: Violin solo by Miss ' M Peggy Ryan, Piano solo by Miss Virginia Dent, 1 Trumpet solo by Graham Johnson. If 5,45 On November 28th at 8.30 P.M. we were W' 1 'Q visited by the noted Austin Cross of the Citizen, xy 'WERWSE SCL L50 Y who gave a highly entertaining talk on his wide- spread travels and experience as a journalist. This year's Christmas Party included not only the traditional costume competition Cfor the Juniorsj, but the presentation of a one-act play, which marked the first production of the new stage in Argyle. This was followed by a dance. On February 15th, at 4.00 P.M. Mr. George D. Butterfield, rep- resenting Gibbs-McFarlane European Tours, showed a movie of recent Summer trips. On May 1st Gordon Richardson, 1956, sowed the seeds of dis- content by showing some exciting slides of his fascinating 18 months cruise around the world in the brig Yankee. House dances were held throughout the year as usual. HEALTH In spite of the best efforts of our capable medical Staff we were smitten, like other schools, with the epidemic of Hu which prevailed this winter and at one time some hundred and fifty boys were absent from classes. About twenty-five of these were boarders. Apart from this blow, however, we have been fairly free from illness - beyond the inevitable single case of chicken-pox or measles here and there, which never approached the proportions of an epidemic. Congratula- tions to those responsible for the health of the school. CAREER SERIES The series of Wednesday afternoon talks by specialists in sundry professions, was carried on again this year. From these talks the boys are given the opportunity of learning the requirements and rewards ,7 THE ASHBURIAN II of various occupations, from those who are skilled and experienced in their respective callings. This year we heard from: Dr. J. L. Locke - Astronomy. Dr. K. J. Laidler - Chemistry. Col. W. R. Sawyer - Armed Services, Via R.M.C. S. F. Wotherspoon, Q.C. - Law. Sir Charles Arden-Clarke Cfirst Governor General of Ghanal representing the British Commonwealth Society. - The Problems of Africa. REMEDIAL READING An important addition to our extra curricular studies this year has been the course in remedial reading provided by Dr. K. R. Spencer. As a result of causes which it is sometimes, though not always, hard to identify, it occasionally happens that the study dif- ficulties of a boy are traceable to difficulties in swift and intelligent reading. Dr. Spencer, an experienced educator in this particular line, has been invaluable in dissolving many such blocks. CHAPEL NOTES Change is not something which usually disturbs the ordered round of worship on the School Chapel. This may, of course, be irk- some to those who seek novelty for its own sake, but, surely, a daily opportunity to rest in the deep satisfaction which springs from contact with the Eternal belongs to 'fthat good part fLuke 10:4-QD which is not to be taken away. This year, however, pressure of numbers in the membership of the School has caused a rather radical change in detail. As the Senior School itself fills the Chapel to capacity, it is now necessary to hold separate daily services, one for the Juniors, the other for the Seniors. VVhile this arrangement somewhat minimises the sense of oneness throughout the School, it does have some practical advantages apart from seating in that it is possible, particularly in the case of the Juniors, to pitch the tone and content of the service to the level of each congregation. This new arrangement has created no great up- heaval in the matter of organization as the Junior Service is now in charge of the Rev. K. B. Monks who was appointed to the staff last September, and the Junior School is able to provide its own ac- complished organist in the person of Mrs. H. S. Dalton of Form I fame. The Fall Term ended once again with a presentation of Christmas Carols by Mr. Sibley and Mr. Snelgrove with their choir. A well- filled Chapel once again testified to the popularity of this event.

This year has been the largest Confirmation Class in the history of the School, twenty eight in all. Unfortunately a flu epidemic, cur- rent at the time, prevented a number of the candidates from being presented to the Bishop when he paid his annual visit to the School. However, it was possible to complete all the Confirmation before the Easter Holidays. Among the visiting preachers this year were Archdeacon llepburn, Archdeacon Mills and the Rev. Roland Bodger of Montreal. Another change in connection with the Chapel this year is the designation ul' the collection for lWissionary Work. Part will go to the Rt. Rev. C. R. ll.

As usual the School Prefects have read the Lessons at the daily Chapel Services, and have shown improvement as the weeks have gone by in their effort to master the demanding art of public reading. The Chapel has also been well served by the Clerks, Brodhead I. Ince and Merret I, and by the Servers Detchon. Monks, Fascio. Noel- Bentley I and Sarkis. 14 THE ASHBURIAN In addition to the usual school services in the Chapel, a number of interesting ceremonies were solemnized during the year -including several baptisms and marriages. Among the latter was the Wedding, on December 27th, of Jean Ann Perry, eldest daughter of the Head- master and Mrs. Perry, to Eugene Merrill Lillie of Trenton, New Jersey. The service was conducted at 5.00 P.M. in Candlelight, by the School Chaplain, with Mr. L. H. Sibley at the organ, and afterwards the guests were entertained at a reception at the Rideau Club. The married couple drove back to the U.S. where, we understand, they are living in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. We Wish them every good fortune and happiness and hope to see them back at Ashbury from time to time. Another interesting feature was the celebration at 4-.OO P.M. on the same day of another wedding-that of Evlyn Frances Watson to Douglas Dickie Foss. The bride was the sister of Old Boy Gurney Watson, and daughter of Old Boy Peter Snelling. With them also go the School's best wishes for future happiness. I ., -,s X Silk Cltorl I1 .- .. THE ASHBURI.4.Y I5 SCIENCE TOURS I. Tour to Ottawa University: On Saturday, February 3rd, we had our first tour of the year, to the new Chemistry Building of Ottawa University. This tour was arranged through the kindness of Dr. J. K. Laidler, Professor of Chemistry. Here we saw the new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer, which utilizes a large electromagnet, vibrations of hy- drogen atoms, and an oscilloscope. NVith this arrangement, we are able to calculate the absorption of hydrogen in organic molecules, such as ethyl alcohol. We also saw the detailed calorific studies being carried on under Dr. Laidler. The rest of the tour was taken up with a fine demonstration of the IBM computor in the Mathematics Depart- ment. This was a highly instructive tour. Those who attended were Bishop, Wilson I, Merrett I, Noel-Bentley I, Farrugia I, Dickson I and Mr. Sibley. II. Student Night: Our second trip took us to a lecture given by the Ottawa Local Section of the Chemical Institute of Canada, where Dr. R. VV. VVatson spoke on The Chemistry of the Living Cell . He demonstrated prac- tical methods for investigating the chemistry of living cells, including the labelling of organisms with radio-active carbon and extraction techniques. He also showed us the ufreezingw of bacteria with liquified gases. Those who attended were Sarkis, Ross, Sutherland I and Mr. Sibley. III. Science Teachers' illeetings Mr. A. H. N. Snelgrove represented the College at a Science Teachers' meeting at the University of Ottawa on Saturday, February 28th, where he had a tour of the buildings, lunch, and also heard short speeches including one from Dr. D. K. C. MacDonald. IV. Science Tour to Zlflontreal: This tour proved to be a great success After a quick supper at the College, we left Ottawa by bus on WVednesday, February 25th. Three hours later, the familiar skyline of Montreal was a welcome ' h sight after the bumpy ride from the capital. On arriving at t e Y.M.C.A., we had our usual chicken, and then to bed. We were up bright and early in the morning, and having eaten a full breakfast we made our way to the Continental Can Company. Here we were shown the various stages in manufacturing tin cans from sheets of metal. The metal sheets are first decorated, according to the buyers' specifications, in the lithography department. Next, they are cut, shaped and Welded mechanically. The ends are stamped out an-ff' , ,'f.-,v,f- 'V f f ,,,...,. 1, .5 . ,Q , , fy , , , , ,4,A 2'ilL:,:::ig, , ' 74J ':if...'S .,', 1, ' 1, W ' 1 3' 'f -Qs . , .f351Z2f'. :- 'V 't - f'f?f1i25'fE:5f fy THE ASHBURI.-IN 17 separately, and are securely welded to the main body. The finished products are then stored and delivered on order. After this excellent start, we had lunch, a question period, and then were oil' on our next Plant. Arriving at Seagram's Distilleries, we were given an introduction to the production of alcoholic beverages, and we then set out on tour. From the grain bins, the cleaned raw materials are fed into giant cookers, and then to the converter where malt is added. This 'fmashw is allowed to ferment and is then distilled to separate the alcohol. The vapourized liquid is placed in wooden barrels and is aged in ware- houses, after which it is blended, bottled and sold. Dashing back to the Y.M.C.A., we had a quick supper and then were off to the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. Here we were conducted through the f'Panorama of Progress , a museum, Where the progress from the first telephone up to the most modern means of communication is recorded. After this highlight, we were taken to the Information Departmentw where we found that an Operator can give out over 100 information numbers per hour. Finally we adjourned to the Television and Radio section, where our guide patiently explained how the programs were monitored. In Wide-eyed wonder from what we had seen, we walked towards the Yu and after a midnight snack, retired. The next morning We were again early risers. We started the day with a visit to the Northern Electric VV ire and Cable Plant. Here the products of Canadian mining and processing companies, such as copper, nickel, and aluminum are purchased as rods, and are manu- factured into virtually a multitude of types of cables. VVe were treated here to lunch, a talk on Safety, a talk on Personnel problems, and then were off to Dominion Bridge Company. Here we were looking at uheavy industry . In the platework division We saw boilers being built, with great pressure vessels. Masses of cranes were also under construction, parts of bridges, and all types of metal parts. Returning down town we had a free evening. On Saturday morning we walked to McGill University. Here we visited the Medical Building and the Department of Botany. After a look at the famous Dr. Osler Library, we toured the musem, and also an anatomy laboratory where students disect parts of the human body in preparation for their studies. Dr. Gibbs and Dr. Maycock gave us the tour of the Botany end, and we were pleased to see such plants as Mimosa pudican, which collapses on touch, and other interesting laboratories. Mr. Fascio in his usual manner climaxed the tour with his fine closing dinner at the LaSalle Hotel. Our deepest gratitude to Mr. Sibley for the fine arrangements. Present,on this tour were Sutherland 18 THE ASHBURIAN I, Lackey, Ross, Brodhead I, Southam I, Tucker I, Wilson I, Reid I, Yates, Mr. Sibley and your reporters, Bishop and Sarkls. V. Tour to Hamilton: Our second large expedition of the year took us to Hamilton. We set out on March 31st, arriving at Hillfield School at about five, as guests of the Headmaster, Col. J. Page, who kindly lent his home to the group, this time including Lackey, Ross, Wilson I, Rowan-Legg I, Sutherland I and Mr. Sibley. Wednesday morning we were off to the Steel Company of Canada. This is by far the largest Plant of its kind in Canada, so we toured it by car. Here we saw the complete manufacture of steel from the unloading docks, the piles of hematite, coal and limestone, the coke furnaces, the huge blast furnaces, the open hearth furnaces, the bloom mills, the continuous galvanizing mill and the other processing mills. After a pleasant lunch here, we left for Canadian Westinghouse for the afternoon. Here we were particularly interested in the manu- facture of Television Picture tubes of all sizes. We also saw the manu- facture of ordinary vacuum tubes, and finally the Research Labora- tories where we found that shock tests, Cold Temperature Research, and other fascinating things were taking place. After a brief stop to clean up, we were off to Toronto to see Trinity College as guests of Mr. Pettigrew, Stephen Woollcombe, Chris Gill, and Ian Cumming. After a fine supper in Hall, we toured Trinity including the Chapel. We then went across the street to have a tour of Hart House, which was also most impressive. After a fine day we returned to Hamilton, tired, but happy. Thursday morning found us at the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, where we saw the manufacture of rubber tires from the crude to the finished product. After a healthy lunch here we were treated to films of the Indianapolis Speedway races, also one of the famous Italian car races, and one on old cars. We then left for Procter Sz Gamble Company. This tour was entertaining, if too short. Here we saw soap making, and the packaging of many of the famous Procter and Gamble Products like 'fBreeze'7 and f'Fluffo . We then returned to Hillfield for a quick tour of the school. For dinner we were guests of lVlr. V. Scully, an Ashbury Governor, and Mr. S. Armour, who were such a great help in the organization of this tour. After our dinner at The Hamilton Club, we returned once more to Hillfield to relax. Friday morning, despite the rain, we were off again - this time to McMaster University. After a chat with the Dean of Arts and Science and the Registrar, we toured the Biology, Physics and Chemis- try Departments. We were fascinated with the mass spectrograph. At the Chemistry building our guide was Dr. Cragg, one of the authors of our senior Chemistry Text. This tour was most interesting and we THE ASHBURIAN 19 were sorry to leave, but International Harvester was next on our list and we were off once more. Here we saw the manufacture of rope, baling twine, tractors and carts of all sorts. The foundries, the lathes, paint shops, assembly line procedures, all proved of great interest. At 4- p.m., we arrived at the new Metallurgical Laboratories of the Steel Company. Perhaps the outstanding work done here was the detailed studies accomplished by the fabulous spectroscope. We were also concerned with complete steel analysis of all the Steel Company products, including molecular structure done by Microscopic work. By this time we were hungry and tired, so we were off to eat and relax. Saturday we returned to Ashbury. Some highlights of the tour included Sutherland's ready smile at 7 a.m., and also Rowan-Legg's great control over his rubbers. Bob Lackey and Dave Ross, our excellent drivers, seemed always worried because the car would never go over 4-0 miles per hour. Fine highways and fine food - these completed an educational tour. VI. Tour to Chalk River: On April 7th, our annual trip was made to Chalk River. Our first stop was the Biology Building, where we were given an il- lustrated lecture by Dr. W. F. Baldwin assisted by Mr. T. Salthouse. These men are primarily concerned with the blood-sucking bug, Rhodnius prolixus. This bug is particularly resistant to radiation, being able to survive doses of radiation two or three hundred times the amount required to kill a human. The cell behaviour of these bugs seems to explain why in man and other mammals a radiation burn often takes some time to show itself. Dr. Baldwin also described work which has been done on mosquito control, and also work on rat population studies. From the Biology Building we proceeded to the Pool Test Reactor. This has a power of one hundred watts. Here ordinary water is used as a coolant, shielding and moderator. After a fine lunch, We went on tour of the NRX reactor. This reactor produces 40,000 kilowatts of power. The basic parts of this reactor are the fuel rods made up of Uranium encased in Aluminum, and the moderator which is heavy water. The coolant is river water. This reactor is used to prepare Cobalt 60, used in cancer treatment, radio- active isotopes for agriculture and industry, and also basic research. Our next place of call was the new NRU reactor. This produces about five times as much power as the NRX. Here heavy water is used both as moderator and coolant. Again the reactor is used for basic research and the manufacture of isotopes. Those who made the tour this year were: Bishop, Ince, Lackey, Pangman, Southam I, Sutherland I, Tucker I, VVilson I, Rowan-Legg I, and Mr. Sibley. Certainly this has been one of the most successful of the years we have made tours, and our thanks go to Mr. Sibley for many hours spent in arrangements. 20 THE ASHBURIAN V, , ' . f- ,Z32fHf fff,'f 'l 7435 '1.-af W BERMUDA TRIP This year, Mr. Jobling and Mr. Anderson once again supervised the annual Bermuda Trip, which was composed of 13 pleasure-seeking boys: Dries Oosterbaan, Bohdan Zaporski, Red and Don Dunn, Don Flam, Ray Manbert, Allen Gill, Iain Ewing, John Letch, Peter Gillean, James Whitmarsh, Gary Lacharity and Graham Pottinger. We left cold Canada on March 29th following a night at the Toronto Y.lVI.C.A. and arrived an incredibly short time later in Warm, cloudless Bermuda. Hastily doffing our winter overcoats, we spent the next few days frantically putting up tents, making beds, purchasing provisions, and so on. Once firmly established, the group broke into two logically separate bands, the Seniors and the Intermediates, and invaded the mainland. Each year, invariably, the first thing that attracts the Seniors is the motor-bike hiring scheme - a quick, handy way to tour the island comparatively inexpensively. And, each year, invariably, many hair- raising escapades are performed on account of these vehicles. Fortuna- tely, this year we had a fatality free vacation, though both Donny Flam and Don Dunn lost a few layers of skin from their knees and elbows and perhaps some of their clothes will never again see wear. In many ways the greatest attraction was the College Cruise abroad the f'Chauncey NI. Depeww, sponsored by the Bermudian Gov- ernment and enjoyed by the most senior and responsible of the party. The enjoyment of the cruise was further increased by excellent weather THE ASHBURIAN and a fine orchestra which played con- tinuously as we toured the most interest- ing Parts of the Island. Now and then, too, we were re- 5 leased for a free night on the mainland. These we usually spent very enjoyably listening to steel or Calypso bands at the Island's hot-spots! 77 Towards the end of our stay in Bermuda, we were treated to a deep-sea fishing expedition by Mr. Moore. NYe spent an exciting day at sea several .9-' ,.Q.- ' Q miles off the island. Our endeavours M 'rf were rewarded bv a handsome catch of ' ra... A . ,st -',. ' ilk- -...flu six large fish of various species. On Easter Sunday we attended services at the Cathedral in Hamil- ton, and were later introduced to the Bishop of Bermuda. Almost before we realized it, our holidays had evaporated, and we were winging our way back to Ottawa, penniless, sunburnt, and happy. Many thanks are due to Mr. Jobling, Nlr. Anderson and the faultless Bermuda weather for making this year's Easter vacation a truly memo- rable one. DEBATING Until this year, there has been little interest in debating at the School and, as a result, little activity has taken place beyond the annual tri-school debate which Ashbury has won with monotonous regularity. Unfortunately, debating, instead of being regarded as the contest of wits that it is, has been looked upon by many as merely much ado about nothing and its clique of devotees has been forced to pursue its way in the face of misunderstanding and indifference. This, however, was the year of the great Revival! No longer were debaters regarded as eccentrics. They walked, talked, and even behaved like the others who roam Ashbury's precincts, in short, they were acceptable. This, coupled with the fact that several trips were taken, aroused interest again. Perhaps, on second thoughts, saying that in- terest was aroused is being too optimistic. I base my hopes solely on the fact that the whole Senior School managed to produce an unprec- edented number of confident, if not competent, debaters: five! Surely in such a school of intellectual giants as this, the structure of that superlative art, debating, cannot be allowed to remain on its present shaky foundations, for there is no combat more stimulating. no excite- 22 THE ASHBURIAN ment more intense, no contest keener than that encountered on the debating floor. It is truly wit matched with wit, and a better mental exercise could not be devised. Our first verbal contest this year was against St. lVIary's in Brockville. There, represented by Chamard and Gale, we upheld the positive of the motion 4'That Integration Should Be Pushed Through Immediatelyw valiantly but vainly. Once again, St. Mary's lived up to its fine reputation for hospitality, and we want to express our thanks to them for making the trip to St. lVIary's one of the year's most pleasant. In the second bout with this school, held here at Ashbury, we were again verbally vanquished. This time, replacing our first string pros with recruits Brodhead and Fisher, we contested the negative of the issue That the U.S. Is Justified in Going to War Over Quemoy and Matsu . This year, as an enthusiastically received innovation, Ashbury sent a team to compete in the International Speech Festival held at St. Michaelis College of the University of Toronto on February 20 - 21. Each of the four members of the competing teams was required to make one speech: an extemporaneous, an original, an interpretive, or a humourous speech. Upon the conclusion of these, the four mem- bers formed two teams of two men apiece, one team upholding the positive, the other team the negative of the motion. Representing Ashbury, Gordon Gale made the extemporaneous, John Chamard the interpretive, John Gamble the original and Tim Brodhead the humourous speech. Debating on the motion That Compulsory Union Membership is Undemocraticv, Gale and Gamble joined to support the aliirmative, while Brodhead and Chamard teamed up to uphold the negative of the issue. Each team debated three times against outside schools, the negative team winning two of their debates, the aflirmative winning one. Of the individual speakers, Gale alone shone, winning the Runner Up in the Extemporaneous division. The final result was that Ashbury placed third of the eight Canadian Schools competing, and eighth of the combined total of sixteen schools. The trips both down to Toronto and back, and the stay in Toronto itself, despite many frenzied moments, were highly enjoyable, and this excursion will be remembered for a very long time by those who were privileged to take part. Our last and perhaps best debate this year was at the University of Ottawa. There representatives from eighteen schools of the Ottawa region gathered to debate the motion That Canada is Culturally Dependant Upon the United States . Each competing school was required to produce two teams, one upholding the afiirmative, the other T H Z: .4 S ll If L' R I .-I .Y 2, the negative of the motion. Ashbury was represented by Brodhead ll and Chamard, upholding the negative, and Gale and Fisher supporting the afhrinative. YVhile the affirmative side managed to win only one of their two debates, the negative side was undefeated and so was placed in the final against a team from St. Patrick's College. This debate, a battle of wits from start to finish, was declared excellent by the judges and though the decision was extremely close, the victory was awarded to the St. Patrick's team. Nevertheless, Parker pen-and- pencil sets were awarded to the four finishing contestants, Casey and team-mate of St. Patrick's and Brodhead and Chamard of Ashbury. Furthermore, top award of a S100 scholarship went to the Best Speaker, John Chamard. Though it may be seen that this year has been a fruitful one for Debating at the School, we were extremely disappointed when L.C.C. withdrew from the annual Tri-School Debate which was to have been held at Bishop's this year, and it is our sincere hope that this annual function will be resumed again next year. With the aroused interest in debating at the School, it is our wish that, next year, more debates may be arranged with outside schools. At this point it seems only fitting to pay tribute to Mr. Spencer. our long-suffering coach, who guided and governed us so well. YR.: DFBATE Fisumx, Bizoourixo ll. Ciuxruum. Clue 24 THE ASHBUIUAN POETRY READING CONTEST This event took place on Sunday, May 3rd, and brought out a goodly number of contestants - notably from among the Juniors. In this category the winner was Noel-Bentley II, with Campbell II as 'runner-upi. In the Intermediate competition, Conway carried off top honours, with Lynn a close second. From among the Senior entries, consisting of Chamard, Fascio and Mclnnes I, Chamard was named as top man, with Fascio in second position. The selections named for reading were as follows: 'Sei' for Preparation Juniors: '1God's World, - Millay Intermediates: 'The Ice Cart' - Gibson Seniors: 'In memoriam, CI' - Tennyson Tight' 'Lake Isle of Innisfree' - Yeats 'Anthem for Doomed Youth' - Owen Shakespeare' - Arnold In addition, each contestant read a short passage of his own choosing. Mr. J. F. Povey was good enough to act as adjudicator in the competition and at its conclusion spoke a few Words constructively criticizing individual performances and outlining the effects which should be aimed at in the reading of verse. In announcing the winners he said that some of the decisions had been extremely difficult, as the quality of the readings had been, in the main, high, with a very slight margin of merit between the announced winners and their closest competitors. It is gratifying to see the undiminished enthusiasm for this event, as the exercise not only is valuable, but can be enjoyable. PUBLIC SPEAKING VV ith the great interest shown in debating this year, it was hoped that there would be a large field for the Ross lVIaclVIaster prizes for Senior and Intermediate Public Speaking and the Charles Gale prize for Juniors. It is to be regretted that the small Held did not justify such optimism. For the Gale prize, Hugh Campbell gave a well prepared and equally well delivered speech on Canadian Northern Affairs, pre- dicting a future in this Department should the obvious interest be sustained. His ease of delivery, added to his sense of conviction, made him the popular winner. A Special Award was made to Jamie 1316 iqil 'UP , 1 'H ! liars I Lflllfsnr 1 , . fm 'fi 'L I 5 26 THE ASHBURIAN NIcAulay, a Form II boy, for his interesting well-prepared speech on fibreglass. The adjudicator's task in the Ross MacMaster Intermediate contest was not difficult. Haslam, speaking authoritatively about China, the Sleeping Giant was so convincing that the Adjudicator's task at first seemed easy, but Lynn I, speaking about lobster fishing in New England, immediately put the issue in doubt. Lynn was fol- lowed by Conway, who gave a learned address on anti-biotics. Using the standard Oregeon system of judging, there were less than two points between the three, but the prize was awarded to Haslam. Only two seniors competed in their division, and although Mclnnes I gave Chamard some keen competition with his speech on the French Revolution, into which had gone much research and preparation, the latter, speaking on Red China's admission to the United Nations, a subject which has been frequently debated land written aboutll, was so assured and convinced of the subject matter in his speech, that he added to his former honours by again Winning the award. At the conclusion of each division, the Adjudicator, Mr. Ian Spencer, gave a short critical analysis of the speeches, with special reference to his experience gained this year acting as a judge at the International Speech Festival. His final remark was, The field might be small, but the standard was so high, any school might be proud of it. C O N F E R E N C E S HEADMASTERS' CONFERENCE The Twenty-Fourth Annual Conference of the Headmasters' Association was held at Rothesay Collegiate School, Rothesay, New Brunswick. The Headmaster of the School, Dr. C. H. Bonnycastle, acted as host. The usual business sessions proved to be lively and helpful. Reports from the various committees indicated that much had been done during the year and that the Association's representatives to various conferences had held up their end in strange surroundings. The chapel service conducted by the School Chaplain, the Rev. M. J. Keble, and the Reception at the home of Mr. Colin Mackay Sr., deputy Chairman of the Board were most enjoyable conference activities. The Annual Dinner was held in the School dining-room with Mr. Gordon Fairweather, Attorney-General of New Brunswick the Guest Speaker. He spoke amusingly about the Reward of Public Service ln Politics. THE ASHBURIAN 27 At the conclusion of the Conference Nlr. Stephen Penton was elected President for the ensuing year and it was agreed that the Conference would be held in Montreal in January 1960. ENGLISH CONFERENCE The conference of the teachers of English at the Independent Schools was held this year at Pickering College. Newmarket. on Easter Monday. The speaker of the morning meeting was Mr. Duncan Green. Assistant Head of the Department of English at North Toronto Collegiate, who spoke on the techniques of teaching poetry. The problem of firing the imagination of boys of to-day to the delights and excitements of verse is not always an easy one, and the interesting techniques advocated by Mr. Green were most welcome. In the afternoon, after the admirable lunch provided in the school dining hall, the meeting was addressed by Dr. M. H. Mclsuhen, of the English Department of St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto, who spoke on the new media of communications. Dr. McLuhen's observations on trends, not only in formal education but in civilization, as affected by these media were both fascinating and profound. Incidentally, he drew attention to the fact that Industry was attaching ever increasing importance to qualifications in the humanities among its top-flight executives. He pointed out that if this attitude of Industry's were properly recognized by students, the motiva- tion for study in such subjects would be substantially increased. The following schools were represented: Appleby College, Mr. H. C. Hardwick, hir. Smith. Mr. Cooke. Ashbury College, Mr. A. B. Belcher, hir. Spencer. Hillfield School, Mr. P. S. Stevens. Lower Canada College, Mr. Caverhill, Mr. O'Neill. Pickering College, Mr. Guy Arnold, Mr. C. R. Blackstock. Mr. E. M. Veale, Mr. D. Blenard, Mr. YV. H. Jackman. Mr. D. Collins, Mr. H. M. Beer. . Ridley College, Mr. J. F. Pringle. St. Andreuds College, Mr. Garstang. gg THE ASHBURIAN Trinity College School, Mr. G. Humble, Mr. Gordon. Upper Canada College, Mr. Gallimore, Mr. Harrison. .Veuvnarlzet High School, Mr. Wm. Elliott. The members were deeply shocked to learn of the sudden death, a few days before the meeting, of T. Glover, Head of the English Department at Lower Canada College. He had been a faithful at- tendant at the conferences for a period of some years and will be greatly missed. The representatives are grateful to Pickeringls headmaster, Mr. H. H. Beer, and to Mrs. Beer, for entertainment at lunch and after- noon tea, thanks are due also to Mr. Guy Arnold of Pickering College, the chairman of the meeting. MATHEMATICS CONFERENCE The animal conference of the Mathematics Committee of the Headmasters' Association of Independent Schools met this year at Lower Canada College, Montreal. The Schools sending representa- tives were Appleby College, Ashbury College, The Grove Lakefield, Hillfield School, Pickering College, Rothesay Collegiate, Trinity Col- lege School, Upper Canada College, as well as representatives from the Montreal High Schools. The guest speaker was Dr. Little of The hlass. Institute of Technology, Boston. Dr. Little gave a detailed and most interesting demonstrated lecture on the teaching of elementary Physics. Almost all the apparatus which he used was made by students of his classes. Following Dr. Little there was a general discussion and question period, most of which dwelt largely with a comparison between the Canadian and the United States requirements in Physics at the High School level. Following the discussion period there was a short business meeting at which an invitation was extended by the delegates from The Grove School, Lakefield, to hold the next session at their school. This was accepted unanimously. After the meeting the delegates were guests of the Headmaster, then to the School Hall for lunch. After lunch Dr. Little spoke again, which was followed by further questions and discussion. Everybody agreed that the day was most enjoyable and re- warding. THE .-ISHBl'Rl.4,N' 29 . -'Q --vuyyal' N. AT CMR. During the Fall Term the School was invited by the Department of Defense to send a representative to a convention of school teachers at St. Jean, Quebec. The purpose of the convention was to provide this group with an opportunity to see the inner workings of tri-Service Cadet training at the College Militaire de St-Jean, also the training at the Manning Depot at St. Jean. Mr. Belcher, who was one of some dozen representatives from schools in the Ottawa area, reports a most interesting and instructive visit to both institutions. At CMR. he was privileged to see cadets in all stages of their three year schooling. and to listen to detailed explanations of the various plans and opportunities by which a boy may become fitted for a career in the armed forces of his countryg at the lrlanning Depot he saw the interesting program laid on for the training of boys for Air Force personnel -largely for the trade schools. Although space does not permit us to reproduce Mr. Belcheifs report in full, its substance is as follows: At CMR. Cwhere we have sent several of our recent graduatesi a boy may be admitted on Junior Matriculation qualifications. During his three years course he receives the equivalent of final high school and first two years of university education. One of the unusual and valuable innovations of this academic training is an arrangement by which the French- Speaking cadet is given extra tuition in English. and the English- Speaking cadet is given extra tuition in the French language. Also, each language is spoken exclusively for alternate periods. As a result it is almost inevitable that, on graduation, every cadet shall be bi- lingual. The course is accompanied by a rigorous course of basic military training. Those cadets who are successful in graduating from their three years at C.M.R. proceed to the Royal Military College. Kingston, for a further two years. From this college they may obtain a degree 30 THE ASHBURIAN in science, arts, or education, after which they are commissioned in the service of their choice for a minimum of five years. The cost of this education is met by the Canadian Government, and during their period of training at C.M.R. the cadets are paid S63 per month. Although the standards are high and the requirements, both intellectual and physical, are exacting, the rewards offered by this plan would appear to be most inviting and should, over a period of years, attract many thousands of the youth of our country. At R.M.C. On February 25th - 27th, representatives from twenty-four On- tario Schools were invited by the Department of National Defence to join a tour of inspection of the military installations in the Kingston area. Ashbury's representative, Mr. G. P. Jackson, travelled to Kingston by staff car and joined the other delegates at the R.C.E.M.E. officers' mess where they were billeted and entertained by a number of high ranking military officers during the course of the three days tour. On the first morning the visitors heard an address by Maj.- General H. A. Sparling, C.B.E., D.S.O., C.D.g G.O.C. Central Com- mand. General Sparling pointed out the growing importance of the Canadian Army in all areas of the world, he stressed the fine op- portunities available to Canadians in the armed forces - particularly in the army. As he said, the purpose of the tour was, frankly, to Sell the Canadian Army as a career for young Canadians of the right type. The visitors were then conducted to the Canadian Staff College. Here officers undergo a higher military education to prepare them for larger commands. Colonel R. A. Keave, D.S.O., O.B.E. lectured on the organization of the College, and after lunch he demonstrated some of the training techniques currently employed. The second day was spent looking over the R.C.E.M.E. school installations, and Colonel R. H. Ramsay, C.D. acted as host for this part of the schedule. After lunch the group went over to the Royal Canadian School of Signals. Here, the commandant Colonel W. D. Wishart, O.B.E., C.D., explained the intricacies of the Soldier ap- prentice plan. The school masters had an opportunity to talk to these uboy soldiers at their leisure, and quickly noted the excellent material this plan is producing. After seeing how the army recruits its soldiers, and trains its N.C.O,s, it was only fitting that the tour should visit the Royal Military College, where many junior officers receive their initial military and university training. Un Saturday morning Commodore D. W. Piers, THE ASHBURIAN 31 D.S.C., CD., A.D.C., Commandant of R.NI.C.. and Colonel XY. R. Sawyer O.B.E., BD., Vice Commandant and Director of studies at R.lVl.C., lectured on the organization of officer training, and then proceeded to conduct an extensive tour over the truly fabulous facilities available to R.M.C. oflicer cadets. After lunch a discussion group was held at R.Nl.C. in which the visitors completed details of their information on military life, and then duly thanked their hosts for their attentive hospitality. Each member of the Headrnaster's visit in Kingston came away from the tour with a deeper knowledge of the complicated machinery which serves to produce our oflicers and men in the armed forces. The army certainly achieved its intention of giving information to be passed on to young aspiring officers in the respective schools. AT CENTRALIA On Thursday, April 16th, a group of Ottawa Valley High School principals flew from Ottawa to Centralia and were taken on a tour of the R.C.A.F. training station. The tour was well organized and conducted in an orderly fashion. The primary objective was to provide high school principals with a better knowledge of the advantages an air force career has to offer to high school graduates. Although it lasted only a day, the tour was a quite extensive one. Several lectures were given on the various phases of R.C.A.F. officer training - such as recruiting methods, selection, testing devices used for aircrew and the basic training program. One of the highlights of the tour was the invitation to attend a graduation ceremony of flight cadets. Part of the return flight was along the St. Lawrence Seaway, at an altitude of about 1000 feet. This climaxed an extremely successful tour and one which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. 32 THE ASHBURIAN MOTHERS' GUILD EXECUTIVE 1958-59 Hon. Pre.s'iu'en1, Mrs. R. H. Perryg President, Mrs. C. K. Rowan-Leggg Ist Vice- President, Mrs. Victor Rivers: 2nd Vice-President. Mrs. Robert Mooreg Secretary, Mrs. K. G. Thorneg Treasurer, Mrs. C. A. Cookg Convenors: Sewing, Mrs. S. E. Mooreg Melrzlrerslzip, Mrs. S. G. Gamble: Social, Mrs. R. Mosher. The Mothers' Guild has lost none of its enthusiasm, initiative and efficiency this year. Beginning in November and carrying through until April, they have presented a number of events which were in every sense successful - Buffet Luncheon Crich viands and Ted Marshallj 3 Clothing Sale C negotiating transfers of outgrown to about- to-be outgrown, at reasonable priceslg Spring Sale Ctasty confections, done-it-myselves, white elephantsj, and this was one of the most lucrative so far, indeed it is rumoured that the event netted over five hundred dollars. From the proceeds of these well organized activities the Guild has generously donated to the School a curtain for the stage of the new auditorium in Argyle, as well as their usual liberal bursaries. SCHOOL DANCE The highlight of Ashbury's social season, the School dance, was held this year at Lakeside Gardens on April 10th. We were fortunate in securing an excellent orchestra which played a large variety of selections and helped greatly in making the dance the success that it was. The Headmaster and Mrs. R. H. Perry, together with the Captain of the School, Bob Lackey, and Miss Nlollie Sharkey received the guests. NVQ! were very glad to see present several members of the Board of Governors and many parents and Old Boys.

Wlieii the strains of God Save the Queen announced the close of another Ashbury dance, it was undoubtedly, for everybody, the end of a memorable and enjoyable evening. DRAMATICS On December 16, we put on our first in a series of one act plays in the new Argyle Auditorium. Adapted from f'The Happy Time , by Mr. Belcher our very capable and efficient director, The Butterfly That Bit is a very amusing story of a middle class family living here in Ottawa. The cast who put on an excellent performance, was headed jointly by Richard Hutcheon, vvho played Grand-pere, and Chris Armstrong who portrayed Uncle Louis. Fraser II appeared as Bibi, Chris Grant as Felice, Graham Pottinger as Alfred Gratin. Talbot Christie was the understudy. At the close of the winter term, on March 17, the second play, uThe Chess Game , was put on. It was a story of intrigue in Russia centered around a plot to assassinate the Governor. The cast was headed by Victor Fascio and assisted by Michael Cheney, Robert Moore I, and Peter Ince. An excellent job was done by each member of this cast. Again many thanks to Mr. Belcher who aided and gave us so much advice and direction. Also our thanks to Dr. Spencer who did the excellent job of making up the actors. Eric Detchon was the Stage Manager. if.

Once again, a year of hard work had been culminated in a most impressive display of proficiency, and the cadets, almost without ex- ception, were looking forward to the change from foot-slogging to back-slapping. The ceremony had begun but a scant three hours before with the arrival of Vice Admiral H. G. DeVVolf, C.B.E., DSO., D.S.C., C.D., R.C.N., the Reviewing Officer. Preceding his arrival, a group of jets rivetted all eyes on the skies as they staged a brilliant fly-past over the school grounds. Following Vice Admiral DeX-Yolf's inspec- tion of the Guard of Honour and the cadets, Cadet Major Lackey led the Corps past the reviewing stand, first in column of platoons, and then in column of route. The ceremonial was completed by the Advance in Review Order, and the marching off of the flag. Next, the Junior Corps Drill Squad put on an impressive per- formance, closely followed by the crowd-pleasing Midget Nlarch Past. This is the Junior School's answer to the Guard of llonour and has as its only requirement a maximum height of three feet. The Juniors' Corps completed its portion of the inspection with a Hawless demon- stration by its gymnastic team under the leadership of Mr. .Xnderson. The School Corps Bugle Band, in its second year of operation, put on a superb performance. As if to confound those who had heard their practice on the previous day Cand who in Rockliffe could have IM A , 141 yr J . 'Wm 1 4 'G .' 1 f 4 s 34 QQ. THE ASHBURIAN 37 avoided hearing it?l the bandsmen played without missing a note. To these industrious blowers, with the first taste of success in their mouthpieces, goes hearty praise and the hope that the good work will continue next year. This year, instead of the Mock Battle, squad demonstrations were held. The Rifie, L.M.G., First Aid and Fieldcraft squads dis- played their knowledge and skill, while the Signallers under Cadet Lt. Brodhead coordinated the demonstrations. The Gymnastic Team then took over the field and with their usual smartness went through their movements in great style, dis- playing not only fine technique but working together as a unit at all times. Once again, Mr. Anderson is responsible and is to be con- gratulated for the fine display. OFFICERS AND N.C.0'S Back Row: S. B. Belding, P. K. Rowan-Legg, J. G. Sarkis, Nl. J. Riddell, P. C. B.

The Guardsmen were dressed in scarlet tunics and bearskins which added greatly to the colour and impressiveness of the show. However, it was their superb drill work that was most impressive, and they are indeed to be commended on the degree of efficiency that they have attained. The demonstrations completed, the Corps fell in once again and formed a Hollow Square in front of the Reviewing Officer. Vice Admiral DeWolf addressed the Corps in words of the most glowing praise, he then made several presentations to outstanding cadets and then, following the tradition, asked the Headmaster to grant the boys a half holiday. And so the strains of our national anthem once again brought to a close another inspection. To all, particularly the instructors, headed by Capt. Boswell, and the ofiicer and N.C.O.s goes the high- est praise for making this inspection one of the very best.

In the early years, the Corps confined its activities to drill and physical training. In the year 1912 a signalling section was introduced, using semaphore and heliograph. When the School moved to its present quarters, where there is a small indoor range, great emphasis was placed on rifle shooting, and the School placed favourably in a great many local and national competitions. The Corps' first formal inspection was put on at the request of the Duke of Connaught, in the Spring of 1913. In 1919 H.R.H. The Prince of Wales inspected the Corps at Government House, and com- plimented the cadets on their smart turnout and soldierly bearing, and rewarded the boys by requesting the Headmaster to grant them a half holiday, which custom has been carried on since that time. The School has been honoured on many occasions by visits from Vice-Royal per 42 THE ASHBURIAN PYRAMID Back Row: J. A. Tucker, R. J. Palov, F. G. Oxley, D. E. Minnes, C. F. Bray, J. R. Southam, S. B.

Over the years the Corps has been extremely successful in general competition and we are justly proud of this success. Nevertheless it is chiefly for the value of the training in smartness, discipline, precision, and responsibility that we cherish the tradition of the Corps.

FIRST FOOTBALL This year's first football team, including a number of last year's players, showed great promise before the season started, and kept it up to the tune of four wins, three losses and one tie. ln the opening game, the team, although in good condition, could not seem to break the Arnprior defense, as we tied that school l - l. 'llhe following week, it was a slightly different story, when we walked over Albert, 38 - O. Then came the Bishop's away game. Ashbury, having won the trophy for five consecutive years, was eager THE ASHBURIAN 45 f and willing to make it six years in a -' ' row. Although the calibre of play was g ' XM not the highest witnessed during the vp 4 ii X X Q . . ' . . . . . , . , - .- 4 f season, it was, nevertheless, a very ex- , es-. . . I ff . ' ' ' ' Y Q f A ' citing contest, especially for us. XX e won 'fa Z . f- ,A sea f 26 - 7. lhe same score was posted K Ks i ' N . , ff, ' against a Stanstead squad a week later. ,W ig FooT8oLL On October 25th, Bishops travelled to i- -fg Ashbury, knowing they must overcome our 19 point lead in the cup race. Unfortunately for them, we increased our lead with a 13 - O score, and won the B.C.S. Old Boys' cup for the sixth consecutive year. This seemed to be the turning point in the season. At Smith Falls, we lost 28 - 8 to their High School. On November 8th we lost again, 7 - 2 to the Old Boys, making our record 4 - 2 - 1. One week later, the record did not improve, but our respect for Northwood football teams did. From the beginning it was a close battle. NVith four minutes left Rickey York scored, making it E20 - 18 for Ashbury. Finally, though, Northwood broke through, beating us 24- - 20. This is recognized as probably one of the best and most exciting football games ever played on Ashbury grounds, and we look forward to many more like it. A word of congratulations and thanks to CB. f l'iny D Hermann, Chris Nowakowski, and Mr. Don Gamble, for making this year's team a successful one. l.

This was especially the case with the second football team, which, with only six men returning from lost year's successful squad, had to be rebuilt to a great extent. The job of rebuilding was ably fulfilled by coach D. M. fBomberD Boswell. After a bad start, with losses to Arnprior and Ridgemount, the team gained spirit, confidence, and skill under the guidance of Mr. Boswell, and the annual Bishop's games C this year two weeks aparti were by far the most interesting to the excitement-loving spectator, and although they didn't quite compare to last year's 13 - 9 victory over B.C.S. both contests were hard fought, but when the smoke cleared, the wins were equally clear-cut. In the first game, played on a rather cold day at Bishops, we scored first and although our additional attempts were cleverly thwarted during the remainder of the first quarter, our opponents' efl'orts proved A X inadequate during the remain- der of the game, as we scored - three more touchdowns and rolled to a 26 - 6 victory.

Ashbury, however, Bishops were rather less successful and failed to score. The result: a 33 - O win for Ashbury. The week after our big win over B.C.S., the team seemed to run low in gas. They dropped a 35 -14 decision to Upper Canada College, but ended the season with two easy wins. This gave the teani, probably one of the most spirited in recent years, a record of five wins and three losses, which, it seems, is better than the 4 - 3 - 1 record of their friends on the firsts.

FOOTBALL DINNER This annual event was held in Symington Hall on Friday, November 21st, After a fine chicken dinner, those present settled down to a fine evening of speeches and entertainment. The toast to the school was proposed by Mr. A. D. Brain, who was thanked by R. D. Lackey. A rather humourous approach to the toast to the team was voiced by Mr. A. B. Belcher. He was thanked by team-captain BI. YV. Sutherland. Mr. Perry, chairman of the dinner. was followed by Nlr. C. YV. Gale, Chairman of the Board of Governors. who pre- sented the prizes and football colours. Mr. Perry then took time to introduce the guest speaker of the evening. Mr. D'.-Xrcy Finn of the Citizen. In a most interesting and sometimes humour-ous speech. Xfr. Finn talked about football generally. and related several ex- 52 THE ASHBURIAN 5 Q 'Z 5755 , ' My SUGDEN, MOFFAT, SOIQTHANI Il periences he has had. Probably the climax of the night was a presenta- tion to Mr. C. B. Tiny Hermann, f Canada's best dressed coachnl. This was a model of Mr. Hermann's foot, as used by a foot-curing company. Thus ended a very interesting and exciting football dinner. S O C C E R FIRST TEAM It was realized after last year's successful season that the team this year would be young in comparison to recent years. However, this did not seem to bother the boys, as they chalked up one win, two ties and only one loss, against stiff opposition. In the first game of the season against O.V.C.C., these cricketers proved that they also know the arts of soccer, as they handed us a 3 - 1 defeat. However, the following week, we travelled to Kemptville and balanced our record by beating them 5 - 2, with Juan Barcenas scoring four of the goals. In the return game we discovered a distinct improvement in Kemptville's play, as they held us to a 1 - 1 tie. On November 15th, spectators witnessed a highly interesting and well played, though friendly, conflict between Ashbury and Northwood School from Lake Placid.

I-I O C K E Y FIRST TEAM This year's first hockey team can hardly be called successful. Yet, because of all the close losses we encountered, it can hardly be called truly unsuccessful. The team seemed to lack something at all times, although, fortunately, it always seemed to lack something different at every game. However, the team gained a great deal from this season, and it is hoped that future teams will benefit from what we learned. After three opening losses to Currie Electrics, Rockcliffe and St. Pats, we gained our initial win with a 6 - 1 drubbing of Kemptville Agricultural School. This was followed by two exciting ties with N orthwoocl. Probably the hardest game to lose was against L.C.C. THE ASHBURIAN 55 fl - OJ in an A.C.0.B.A. Cup contest. In the same weekend, we lost 3 - 2 to Lakefield on the latter's home ice. The most eagerly awaited game of the season was against Bishop's. Spirit was high and the team was willing to work hard. The result- a 4--2 win. CB.C.S. beat L.C.C .4-- 1, taking the A.C.O.B.A. Cupj. The season drew to a close with losses to Stanstead and the Old Boys, and a tie with Shawville. In closing, we would like to thank our coach, Mr. Boswell, for his efforts in trying to make us into a winning outfit. SCORING STATISTICS Games Goals Assts.

The season opened on a deadly cold day with a high wind blow- ing, but when the snow had cleared, Ashbury was on the good end of 4-1 score over Gatineau Intermediate High School. Our next contest turned out to be a see-saw battle against Sedbergh, but we scored more than they did, and won 7- 5. In our return match with Gatineau, we found that they had improved immensely, but they must have discovered the same about us, as we won 6 - 1. o THE ASHBURIAN 57 i . 5, if-rf if -H - if ag ,I ,f'z.','.ifvf,g .- in Q, x Q3 SECOND HOCKEY TEAM Back Row: D.

Again we faced Sedbergh, this time on unfamiliar ice, but that didn't bother our team much, as we won 4- Q in a closely fought battle. Just when the team was hoping for an undefeated season, we met a far superior Village Sport Club team and were handed a 7 - O trounclng. By the next week, we became a superior team, over Rockcliffe Airport, 9 - O. In the last game of the season, we travelled to Lakeiield but were beaten 6-2 by their second team. However, this trip itself served as a pleasant climax to a successful season. 58 Name Hart Logie Reiskind Bethune Xlinnes Smallian Flood Daniel Flam Howland THE ASHBURIAN SCORING S'1'ATlSTlCS Goals Assists Points 10 7 17 5 7 12 4 8 12 3 6 9 4 1 5 4 3 4 1 3 4 1 1 2 C 2 2 0 1 1 THIRD HOCKEY TEAM Back Row: J.

SKIING The Senior Ski team had one of its most successful seasons in recent years winning one meet and finishing second in two others. Suffering from a lack of experience, the team had to rebuild and this was achieved to a remarkable degree largely through the efforts of new coach and former team captain Chris Nowakowski. The Pole lost no time in training a first class team that soon evidenced his care- ful and endless instruction. The results were most obvious in alpine events which have been the weak points of the team for the last few years. The first meet of the year was the annual tri-school aflair. held this year at Camp Fortune. An inexperienced Ashbury team. minus the services of the versatile McLaren, finished second tn HCS.. but ahead of L.C.C. However, team captain John Rowan-Legg won the cross- country, downhill. and the Price Trophy as individual combined win- 60 THE ASHBURIAN , 2 'ls A ner. Ross Southam finished second in this category. The rest of the team finishing well down the list. We were not discouraged, however and much latent talent became ardent. Our next and most successful performance was in the Dalton WVood Memorial meet, which is emblematic of Ottawa and District high school skiing supremacy, and which Ashbury has won for the last three years. In coasting to victory we defeated many vaunted Ottawa schools, including a highly publicized Glebe Collegiate team coached by ex-Ashbury master and ski coach Mr. F. E. Macintyre. This made the victory especially sweet. The triumph was a team effort in every sense of the word, as we won three of the four events. Sparked by Southam, who won the downhill, placed second in the slalom and jumping, and fifth in the cross-country, the team won the cross-country by its usual wide margin, Rowan-Legg taking first place. We also won the downhill Cwith Jacobsen perhaps the most pleasant surprisei and the jumping, captured by McLaren. The unofficial skimaster crown was won by Southam. The winter reached its climax with the annual Red Bird's Invita- tional meet at St. Sauveur, for which the Fred Urquart Shield was the trophy. For the first time in the meet's history, two American schools were entered, one of which, Lyndon Institute, swept the entire meet to trim second place Ashbury by a wide margin. In beating the other US. school the team vanquished rivals B.C.S. and L.C.C. and thus had the distinction of being the first Canadian school. The season undoubtedly would not have been the success it was without the time and patience of Chris Nowakowski and manager VVilson III. The team is indebted to them for their interest.

BASKETBALL FIRST TEAM As in the last few years, this year basketball has attracted many of the boys at Ashbury. This sport, which was introduced in the school only a few years ago, has gained great popularity due to the efforts of Messrs. Snelgrove and Anderson. Basketball is now an established tradition, which is enjoyed by many. For our First game of the season, we were hosts to Lachute High School. The hard work during the daily practices paid otl' and, in a brilliant display of teamwork, we gained our first victory. High scorers were lVIacLaurin and Sugden, while Lackey and Yates were close behind. Our next game, away from home, was against Albert College. This was probably the most exciting contest of the season, but we 62 THE ASHBURIAN were edged out by a 43-42 score, during the last few minutes of the game. Sugden was the leading A NF scorer. ' N Our return match with Lachute was played a DX away from home. In this game we were less for- S tunate than in our previous fixture and we were y. 8 beaten, while Sugden again led the attack. Our gy ' first game with Lower Canada College, in Mont- real, was a closely contested see-saw battle, in Lryf which our hosts outscored us by a four point mar- Ta gin. In this game, WVilson II, a new boy in school, EMU WL ga'- proved himself and got the highest score. The next week-end, we played the Agricultural School at Kempt- ville. Our offensive was successful and in a high-scoring game we defeated our hosts by a safe margin. VVilson II and Sugden shared the top honours in scoring. A week later, we were hosts to Lower Canada College in the Rockcliffe Park Public School Owni. This time by we managed to set back our traditional opponents, with Sugden and MacLaurin leading the scoring. YVe then had a three game series with Rideau High School. We won two of the games and emerged as victors of the series. Both our defence and attack were successful. Wilsoii, MacLaurin, Lackey and Sugden led the way in points for the series. In our last game, our hosts, Fisher Park High School, defeated us by a narrow edge in a well-fought contest. The team's successful record is due mainly to the competitive spirit with which every game was fought. The hard Work and excel- lent coaching combined to produce a skilled, quick and well-united team. Our hopes for next year are high as many players who showed great promise and potential plan to return to school and to basketball next year. THE TEAM Cmus MOFFATT CCapt.J-First year as captain.

Q0 Q? 51:79 33 64 THE ASHBURIAN BGXING H0.1'i2zg.' The annual Boxing Championships this year were held at the beginning of the Spring Term. All the preliminary bouts were held, as usual, before Easter, but an epidemic of influenza at this time caused a postponement of the finals. Cine enjoyable feature of this year's finals was the even nature of the bouts which made for some enjoyable boxing although no doubt giving many headaches to the judges. Highlights of the evening for most of the spectators was again the Heavyweight Championship. This was contested between two great friends and rivals: John Gamble and Ross Southam. They both showed considerable ability and experience and Gamble was declared the winner after a very close tussle. The two major trophies of the evening: The Rhodes Trophy and The Grant Cup, were awarded to M. R. Devlin and D. Palov re- spectively. In an extremely close battle for House points, Woollcombe House emerged victorious by gaining a total of 50 points over 4-7 points scored by Connaught House and Alexander House.

CROSS-COUNTRY The cross-country races, a major athletic event in the school year, took place on the hot and sunny morning of the 25th of April. The boys had trained hard and, in all classes, the fast times recorded were not surprising. In the youngest group, the Under Eleven, Sandy Wright won in an exciting finish, with David Polk close at his heels. Not far behind Harry Pyeiinch came in third. In the Junior Division, Palov II, a new boy, won, but not without a fight to the end from Talbot Christie and Kim Rawley who finished second and third respectively. Last year's Winner in the Intermediate run, Rowan-Legg II, again won the Irvine Cup. lVIcInnes II gained second place, While in the third place was Cooper. In the last and Senior Event, Rowan-Legg I kept up the family tradition by gaining and holding an early lead and consequently winning the Roberts Allan Cup. A new boy, Allmark, surprised everybody by finishing in second place. Everyone was glad to see Jacobsen win third place, as he had trained hard. The House Competition for this event was much closer than was expected. Connaught with 50 points edged out VVoollcombe and Alex- ander with 47 points each. . 2 iii - Q. l S5899 GYM TEAM Back Row: I.

Owing to had weather and re- hearsals for Cadet Inspection, practice time was at a premium this year. Nonetheless those taking part derived considerable enjoyment. and the standard of play was generally improved. A team consisting of Southam I, lCapt. D. Berry Il. Hart, Klan- bert, Brodhead I and Minnes travelled to Lake Placid to meet North- wood School on Monday 18th, Nlav. The play was of high calibre and some close scores were netted. although Hart emerged as the sole victor on the Ashbury team. TENNIS TEAM D. Hart, R. R. Manbert, R. V. Berry, J. R. Southam, Capt., P. D. Brodhead, D. E. Minnes. Keen interest was shown in the draw for the Singles Champion- ship, and the final round was played in the broiling heat of May 10th. After a commendable struggle Berry II succeeded in beating Brodhead I: 6 - Og 6 - 3, thus gaining the trophy. Some of our younger players have shown considerable potential and we may look forward to a better season next year. FIRST CRICKET TEAM Back Row: M. E. Cheney, R. M. M. Dunn, J. D. MacLaurin, J. D. B.

It was felt that because of this early start the first XI cricket would probably do considerably better than in previous years. Talent was good, and with a new coach, Mr. D. Blacklock, the prospect looked promising. In the first match against New Edinburgh, we batted first and made one of the highest 1st XI scores in recent years - 132. Our opponents ran up only 83, so we won comfortably. Unfortunately, however, the wins did not continue. Although the game against Cathedral was rained out, it was clear that our opponents were a far superior team, and in the game against Brockville, fine bowling by Allen and Corlett soundly defeated us. The story was repeated against R.M.C. as they beat us 64-124. Then came the first B.C.S. game. In the first inning they were all out for 97: our score - 45. XYe took 11 for 32 against them in the second inning, but time was against us, and we lost an extremely exciting game. However. the following week we went out for Q3 in each inning, while Bishops mustered 75 to win. 70 THE ASHBURIAN In the final games of the season, the team notched two victories, against the stall' and old boys, giving us a record of three wins, one draw and four losses.

THE ASHBURIAN 71 UNDER 16 TEAM The under 16 cricket did not have an exceptional season as the result, VVon 1 - Lost V A 3, would suggest. This is partly due to the new regulation, which allowed some of the potential ix under sixteens to be taken in the lst. XI, where fy, they did extremely well. W In the first match, after a see-saw game, we managed to beat Sedbergh, though not gd without some excitement as their last wicket put on 20 runs. The final score was 56 -46. CSarkis 24 runs, Speedie 7 for 155. With some confidence we faced the rest of the seasong then we came up against Bishop's. They came to Ashbury and scored a gigantic total of 337 in answer to our 56. Mitchell hit a chanceless century with strokes all round the wicket. Our bowlers could do nothing against him and we can all congratulate Bishops on a great potential batsman. When we went to Lennoxville, the result was a little better statistically, but Bishop's have a very strong team for the future. The result was, Bishop's 237 to Ashbury's 41. Twaddle took 9 wickets for 56 runs. For our last match we went to Sedbergh to play on a pitch that was very difficult, after a heavy storm. We batted first and made a wretched 31 runs. But they were soon struggling too and did not pass our total until eight wickets had fallen. Speedie bowled well to take 9 Wickets for 18 runs. We may take some comfort from the fact that we have a very young team and some promising players, but the weakness was always the collapse of the batting, which gave our good bowlers absolutely impossibly small margins to work on. The field, however, was keen and safe. f . K lfiii , A .lV c - 0 TRACK TEAM Back Row: R. M. McDonell, J. H. Gilman, D. B. Mussells, J. W. Kerruish, R. R. Mclnnes, I. M. Ewing, D. M. Boswell, Esq.

TRACK AND FIELD Since the arrival of Mr. Boswell at the school two years ago, there has been an ever-increasing interest in track and field. As recent- ly as three years ago, the only meet of any kind was our own school meet on closing day. Last year, however, a group of six of our best men were chosen to compete in the G.M.I.A.A. meet in Montreal. These boys did extremely well, and the 1959 season was eagerly looked forward to as most of the team was returning. We had also been entered in the Ottawa Valle 1 meet which gave us added incentix e to train harder. 3 i D This spring more than thirty boys joined the track and field squad, which is double that of last year's turn-out. Due to the THE ASHBURIAN 73 complicated preparations for the Cadet Inspection, we could not start intensive training until after it. However, Mr. Boswell's encouraging words C90'Z perspiration and 1092 inspirationb drove us on, and by May 30th, we were ready for the Ottawa Meet. About ten boys repre- sented the school. Captain Tony Sugden, from whence great things were expected, proved his worth by winning all three of the events he entered. He won the 100 yard dash and the 120 high hurdles in very fast times, and set a very high standard in winning the broad jump. Peter Rowan-Legg placed third in the intermediate mile, and hfth in the fastest 880 yard run of the day. Bob Lackey, borrowed from the cricket team, placed third in the senior shot put. Rodney Howland, one of our fastest men, unfortunately pulled a muscle on the last leg of the 880 relay, after winning his heats in the 100 yard dash, and placing second in the 440 trials. This stroke of bad luck deprived the school of a certain ten to fifteen points, and possibly a third place finish in the aggregate standings. As it was, the team finished an excellent sixth, out of twenty three schools, and all our participants, which included Wilson II, Goodis, Mussels I, Mclnnes II, Gilman, Ewing and Palov I, gained valuable experience. Our second and most successful meet took place the following week-end in Montreal. A five-man team, consisting of Tony Sugden fCaptainD, Peter Rowan-Legg, Bobby Goodis, Roderick Mclnnes and Ian Ewing, made the trip. Once again Sugden led the way, winning no less than four events in the class five division Cunder 20 yearsl. This brought his total to seven wins in seven starts for the two meets, and once again, he proved to be the most outstanding performer in the meet. This time, Tony carried off honours in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the 120 yard hurdles, and the broad jump. These wins gave him twenty points, and by himself he tied for second place in team standings. Bob Goodis collected another first for the team, winning the class two Cunder 16 yearsl javelin, and placing fifth in the shot-put. Peter Rowan-Legg also contributed highly to the fine Ashbury showing by placing second in the class three funder 175 mile, and third in the 880. The two youngest members of our team, Mclnnes 11 and Ewing, also gained points. Mclnnes finished fourth in the class one Cunder 155 mile, and Ewing was sixth in the 220 for the same class. The team is more than grateful to its coach, Mr. Boswell. In these days of highly specialized techniques in sports, make no doubt about it, without a coach who knows his job and is capable of training his string of athletes from toenails to eyebrows, muscle will not count. Mr. Boswell does know his job and has developed the team's potential to the utmost. 74 THE ASHBURIAN HOUSE COMPETITION In the inter-house competition this year in which points are awarded to winners, runners-up and, in some cases, all participants, Woollcombe emerged victorious with Connaught in second, and Alexander in third place. Colours were awarded as follows: Woollcombe: Brodhead I, Gamble III, Kerruish, Mclnnes I. Previously awarded: Sutherland I, Goodis, Sugden, Chamard, Gamble I, Robinson. Connaught: Howland, lVIacLaurin. Previously awarded: Ross, Reid I, Molloy. Alexander: Rowan-Legg II. Previously awarded: Boone, Cotton I, York I, Lackey, Rowan- Legg I, Southam I.

The weather was good Q1 won't say as always for that would be tempting fatel, and a large number of Old Ashburians were present for a most pleasant and successful programme. The first event of this programme was the Old Boys football game. The younger and hardier 01d Boys turned out in force in borrowed uniforms and responded to the cheers of the more mature Old Ashburians on the side lines. The Old Boys, captained by Bruce Hillary, won 7 - 2, the same score by which you won in 195 7. YVhat surprised me was that the drive and enthusiasm in the last period were as great as in the first! In past years we have played Bishop's on this date, and I think that most felt that to have the Old Boys Game on the Reunion was a suitable innovation. The Nleeting of the Corporation followed the game. More mem- bers attended than have in past years. The major piece of business was the election of the Board of Governors. Three new Members were appointed. These are Donald Maclaren, 19393 Campbell Merrett, 1926, and E. P. Taylor, 1915. The new Chairman of the Board is C. G. Gale, 19345 the Vice-Chairman is C. R. Booth, 1933. After these important matters were concluded, the Governors joined the already very large crowd in the gym for refreshments and a delicious buffet which had been provided by the Mothers Guild. During the morning two other athletic events attracted the at- tention of some of the visitors. Our First Soccer Team played to a 2 - 2 tie with Northwood School of Lake Placid, and the Second Football Team defeated Fisher Park Juniors, 27 - 12. The Supper Dance was held this year at the School. The Auditorium in our new wing, Argyle, was suitably decorated and an adjoining classroom was transformed into a handsome bar which was most pleasing to both eye and palate. VVe should hasten to point out that this was our Half Term break and no boys were at the School. Well over a hundred people danced to pleasant music, the mood of which carried one back to the 30's of happy memory. To have the dance in Ottawa instead of at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club was a change which was universally applauded. .Montreal The annual Montreal reunion was held at the LaSalle - no change in location here, and none anticipated.

His two sons will have to leave Ashbury, Peter to go to King's School, Canterbury, and Christopher to a school near Geneva. Ashbury benefits from its location in Ottawa and there is a fine international flavour to the student body. But the drawback is that many parents suddenly get posted. Among the young Ashburians who have had to continue their education elsewhere are MICHAEL rlTXX'AlJl1LF, at Millfield in England preparing for the Army, GUY NIORRISON who is at Merchant Taylors' School in London and doing very well indeed, NIICHAFL ETACNEIL at Fettes, Edinburgh, DOUGLAS THE ASHBURIAN 79 KNIGHT at the City of London School, and BILL COLLs who is at Dean Close School Cheltenham.

Bob or Bub , as he is known, has without a doubt performed the variety of duties assigned to him this year in admirable fashion. In the capacity of Captain of the School and Head Prefect, he has proved a sterling example for prefects and students alike. On Monday he dons his cadet unifonn as Major of the corps and can be seen leading the recruits through their paces for the Annual Ceremonial Inspection, or giving the bugle band the down beat, for he has not lost his interest in the lusty horn . Although joining the football team late in the season, due to academic pressure , he proved himself a valuable end. The Basketball team thrived on his steady play both as defence and as forward. The Spring Term has brought out his English blood and he, for the second year, was a member of the First Cricket XI. Bob is look- ing forward to furthering his knowledge at Bishop's University and has set his sights on a B.Sc. We wish him the best of luck! CAPTAIN OF THE BOARDERS D. H. ROSS- To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield D. H. took over the job of Captain of the Boarders with great success. His Strong, massive, and handsome frame may have had some bearing on this, although our sister school managed to pin him down. In athletics he excelled, he filled the position of long tackle at football, was posterior defenceman of hockey and was also a tennis racketeer . Dave ran the Q. M. stores as efficiently as he did the automatic telephone exchange governing SH 9-7212. After attending the biology classes for two years, he is convinced that a B.Sc. at McGill is for him fespecially after studying the endocrine glands chartl. We're sure that his personality will make him as many friends there as he now has here. Best of luck in the future, Herbie , and play it safe. CO-CAPTAIN OF THE DAY BOYS FRED REID- lfVhat a blessing this smoking is! Perhaps the greatest that we owe to the discovery of America Fred has been one of Ashbury's most colourful figures during his eight years at the school. Though many see him only as an in- dustrious student with a contagious sense of humour, he has a long list of achievements to his credit. Fred is an academic giant whose apparent casual approach to his work but subsequent good results is the astonishment of his fellow senior Matriculants. Athletically, his interests lay in the coaching field, soccer and skiing both being in his able hands. In addition, Fred is lieutenant of crack no. 1 platoon, an energetic member of the Gym Team and a local social magnate. Next year, Fred plans to take up Chartered Accountancy at Queen's and we doubt not that he and his hot Zephyr will be missed in the fall. CO-CAPTAIN OF THE DAY BOYS M. W. SUTHERLAND- True, a new mistress now I chase Lubby', fno longer tubbyl has spent his eleventh and final year at Ashbury. During this stretch of time he has been known to do many strange things, all of which turned out to his own benefit. He has been captain of almost every sport he played and Was last year's Captain of the school. This year as a day student, he is C0- Captain of the day boys. Mervin has changed somewhat this year in that he no longer upholds his misogynist principles. He has recognized the need for the bonny sex as a necessity to man. What's more, he likes it! We are all convinced that his happy-go- lucky nature fturning serious when he so desiresl will carry him a long way when he looks to the Bell Telephone CO. of Canada for his pot of gold! Our best wishes go wherever you go Tubby. THE AYHBURIAN 85 DAL BRODHEAD- Pcrclzaucc to dream: ay, flIt'l'Ci-S' the rub! Dllllells commonly called Dow . came to Ashbury in '56, He was made a prefect this year. He has been one of the most reli- gious students, acting as Head Chapel Clerk. He was the Lieute- nant of the 3rd platoom, and leader of the signal corps, in cadets. He was Co-Captain of the glorious 2nd Football team this fall. During the' winter he played squash and this spring he played tennis. Socially, he was one of the liveliest M.C's we have ever had at our'Saturday night dances. He plans to go to our old Rival named University Bishop's . VVe hope he gets in, and all the best for next year! 77 JOHN CHAlVIARD- Successful crimes alone are justifiedl' John, a hlontrealer, normally hailed Cham , is one of a unique species: he is an all-round person. A tricky, hard-hitting football hnesman, a capsizing defenseman on the ice, and the Vice-Captain of Cricket, he was a mainstay throughout the year athletically. Academically, Cham was one of the three who majored in Tuck Shop, employing in this enterprise his innate talent for maths and his affinity for deficit financing. Actually, he is an excellent lalbeit effortlessl student. Devilishly adept in conversation he has proved that, whereas some people are famous for their repartee, Cham is infamous. Next year he is off to McGill in pursuit of gfher learning. Doubtless he will be a success. Best of luck. am. GORDON GALE-ffManlzind taleen as a whole is but dull, bloated, dimly conscious meat, which only serves as a back- ground for illustrious personalities like myself Gord, with smattering of everything and a knowledge of nothing, has nevertheless managed to get along fairly well during his twelve year stay. After spending the first twelve years searching for a suitable crusade into which he could channel his excess energy. Gord finally found one this year - Form IV Spelling. Each morning he preserves law and order in Room E, and at the same time keeps himself liberally supplied with essay's lines, shined shoes etc. After coaching the junior ski field during the winter, Gord put his well-exercised voice to good use as a lieutenant of the 4-th Platoon. In the common room, too, his quick tongue and ready laugh are always on hand to break ugly conversational lapses. We are told that Gord's next stop is McGill. YVe wish him the best of luck. R. G. NIOORE- Life is a banquetg the trouble is most people are SfflI'I'flI,2',, Bob is completing his seventh and final year at Ashbury. He tends to be a scholar. and proved himself amply endowed vt both the Christmas and Easter exams. During the fall term he helped Mr. Dalton coach the Second Soccer XI. And during the winter term he developed considerable interest in the theatre. Not only did he take part in one of the one-act plays produced by Mr. Belcher. but he also wrote one himself. He took his usual trip to Florida, for his Christmas holidays, and returned as a boarder during 'the winter term. He devoted his time to his studies, and was nick- named Terrible Bob by the boys on the Hats. In the spring term he became a loyal member of the Flag Party. and hopes to conouer his exams as easily as he has in the past. Bob is off to lIcGill next year and we all wish him the best of luck. THE ASHBURIAN ROWAN-LEGG- God made the woman for the man, and for the good and in- crease of the world John has completed his fifth year at Ashbury with flying colours. After having won first football colours, first skiing colours, the Price Trophy for the best skier in the Tri-School Meet, and captaining the team to win the Dalton Wood Trophy for the third year in a row, he decided to let up in the spring term, and just win the Cross-Country Race. His top condition is easily illustrated by the power of his lungs. As C.O. of the Honour Guard his bellow was constantly heard after lunch, and, often forgetting himself in the building, you could hear the words, come here, you little boy , from any point in the school. John's extra-cur- ricular activities are many and varied, as well. His chief one seems to be keeping four girls from finding out about one another which with a certain amount of envy, I must say he has been successful in so far. Next year he hopes to be studying more figures, fArkchitectureJ and wherever you go, John, the best of luck goes wit you. ROSS SOUTHAM- Let me he dress'd fine as I will, flies, worms, and flow- ers, exceed me still Ross, completing his last year at Ashbury, was made a prefect at Xmas. He can be seen at almost any time, circumnavigating Rockcliffe in his little Red Beetle . An outstanding athlete, Ross starred in football, skiing, and tennis. His secret wish is to go to Princeton, so he can legally wear his complete Princeton kit . An accomplished Ivy-leaguer , he even bought a pair of fake glasses to look genuine. Ross is uncertain concerning his plans for the future, but will probably end up a Carletonite . Best of luck Ross!-wherever you go. TONY SUGDEN- Good jumper! Grand leap- per! The blessings of the holy angels on your head young fellow, I hear you're playboy of the Western VVorld. Much to most people's satisfaction, Tony was made a prefect at Easter, and had this been done sooner it still would have been late. During the year he was coloured in basketball and football. In the latter sport he gazelled many a gusty opponent into the rest which is silence and was voted the most improved player on the team. In cadets also, as platoon Sergeant of no. 3 he did a lethal job. But it is in Track and Field that Tony is at his best. In this field he is probably among the best of those whose spikes have grooved our roads. fAt this point we tip our bowlersg and that ain't cricketl. Tony is a quiet fellow-not given to garrulous talk in the davtimeg but once he gets to sleep, then comes the conversation. What he says when he's awake may not make much sense, but when asleep he is a fiuent and convincing talker. Always the conscientious type, he voluntarily took up training this year, by giving up smoking his own cigarettes. Weiunder- stand that he intends to kangaroo the campus of the University of California next year and we wish him luck, no matter what flag he thinks is purtiest. CAM TUCKER-g'VVhen I lie tangled in her hair and fetter'd to her eye Campbell Tucker has been with us for five years. His last as a member of that jolly carefree group, known as the Day Boy Prefects. ln the fall, Cammie co-quarterbacked the First Football Team, but his soberer side showed itself during the winter as he devoted himself. when not showering attentions on a certain young lady, to his studies. In the spring, however, Cammie was again very much in evidence as his booming voice rang out as lieutenant of the third platoon. Next vear will find him, he hopes, at Carleton University pursuing a Commerce degree. Ashbury. losing one of her most afliable students, wishes you the best of luck. Tuck! YI :X YI C L'PPIfR YI YI B YI D V A I K 35 5 Ju fl . I I IV A I I P IHE .4.S'HBL'Rl.-IN 89 SPORTS DAY Two days of semi-finals on .lune 9th and 10th set the stage for this year's Sports Day, held on the morning of Closing Day. Despite a rather disappointing turn out of competitors in the senior division, the day was an unqualified success. This was largely due to Nlr. Boswell and his fine group of officials which included: Mr. Sibley, Nlr. Ander- son, Mr. Dalton, Mr. Povey, Mr. Jobling, Mr. Jackson, Nlr. Gamble, hir. Sherwood, Mr. Polk, Mr. Snelgrove. Sugden again had a fine year and by winning the broad jump, 220, 4-4-0, and 880, edged out Bill XVilson II to win the Senior Track and Field Championship. Peter Rowan-Legg II swept the interme- diate class, and set a new intermediate mile record of 4:52. This time is only four seconds off the record time for the senior mile, 01:48, set by E. B. Pilgrim in 19445. Ian Ewing took the Alwyn Cup, emblematic of junior supremacy. A salient feature of the day was the large number of junior, bantam, and midget competitors. This gratifying turn-out gives great promise of stiffer competition in succeeding years. PRIZE LIST MORNING PRIZES A. TRACK AND FIELD SPORTS 1. HIGH JUMP: sEN1oR - THE READ TRoPHy B. C.

FASCIO CLOSING CEREMONIES A large turn-out of parents and friends of the School was expected for this year's closing, and, in fact, the total attendance Cboys, parents, staff, friends, and guestsj was almost one thousand. Mr. C. G. Gale, Chairman of our board, presided over the ceremonies. .-3 Q8 THE ASHBURIAN Q R. D. Lackey, Captain of the School, speaking on behalf of the students, expressed his thanks to the parents for sending their sons to Ashbury, and to the staff for making possible a fine education. Mr. Perry, in his end-of-year report, welcomed the parents and made a brief summary of the year. In speaking of academics, he drew particular attention to the favorable report of the Ontario School Board Inspector. The Headmaster felt that the answer to the present educa- tional problem was not too very different. To teach boys the importance of hard honest work - to give their best at all times. In closing he said, 4'Ashbury has a proud history and a distinguished list of grad- uates. Those of us who remain will continue to give our best and strive to train our boys to study with diligence, play with determination and sportsmanship, and prepare them to take their places as men of responsibility. My thanks to all of you for your interest and support during the past yearn. United Kingdom High Commissioner Sir Sawille Garner, guest speaker at the closing, warned the graduates against getting into a rut. In this day of increased specialization, he advised his youthful listeners to cultivate an enquiring mind and an active life, and to grab all the experience possible. 'cExperience is a marvellous thing , mused Sir Saville. 4'It enables you to realize your mistake when you make it for the second time .

Lackey, Hear! Hoy First, may I say that I am keenly aware of the privilege which is mine on this occasion. Many can speak for themselves, few are given the opportunity to speak for others. And so I consider it a responsibility and an honour to deliver this valedictory on behalf of those who are graduating. Vale-dictory , a speech of farewell. This is surely a solemn word, solemn in sound and solemn in meaning. Goodbye to a way of life is seldom a light or an easy word to say, and so it is not easy to say goodbye to Ashbury, which to so many who are leaving, has become a part of us. This might sound a bit trite, but it is, I believe, profound- ly true. All of us, without exception, have expressed what our joy would be on the day of graduation and on the last day of school. XVell, the day is here, we've given it considerable thought, and we're not too happy after all. It's not easy to forget the joys and sorrows which we shared on the football field, the stops and starts accelerated by the booming voice of the coach. Very memorable also are the cherished moments when Mr. Brain winds up and lets fly with a supersonic rocket. CI think his average for direct hits is somewhat higher than that of Cape Canaveral's.l Then there are recollections of the lab. I remember one particular period when we were to do an experiment with a rather dangerous type of material. NVe were warned of its dangerous properties when given contact with air. It was dropped, contact was made, and as a result: one burnt table, burnt Hoor and a new fire extinguisher. No hair was singed. So far I have mentioned sports and the lighter side of academic training. I guarantee that there is also a more serious side to the academics. But there is even more to be gained here than the lessons learned in the classroom, or the fun enjoyed in the field of sport. The training in academics and athletics, however high the value may be, is only a part of what we have learned here. The rest is what makes these walls into Ashbury College. I am speaking of the opportunity of learning how to get along with those that live with us. XVe get to know the joys and sorrows of others, we share in them and, most important. we can think of ourselves in terms of others who have walked through these corridors, and sat in these classroom before us. By so doing. we have come to know life betterg we have come to the realization that beyond these walls is no world of roses. Ashbury has spread the petals of the flowers and shown us the thorns in the world of our future. It has shown us life in the right perspective. One might ask how this has l I 1 I l l 100 THE ASHBURIAN been accomplished. An example of how this is done may be found in our chapel. Every year on Armistice Day, the names of those Ash- burians who made the supreme sacrifice are read out by our Head- master. Here were individuals like many of us, but not so fortunate. Cn the walls of the chapel are several plaques, each of which tells its own story. There a boy's name is engraved, who was the same age as some of us here. Yet he led a platoon of men into battle at Vimy Ridge with the valour which we ourselves can envy and admire. What did he get out of it? A grave with a white, wooden cross as a marker, and the admiration of his countrymen. What did he fight for? The many freedoms of our country which include institutions such as this. Such tragic truths may be termed the kernel of the fruit which is always present but buried in the flesh. The sweet flesh of the fruit is the goodness and pleasure around us now. To illustrate this, I would like to refer to a trip some of us took during the Easter Vacation. There were six of us in all, our leader is at the prize table on my left, Mr. Sibley. We went on a science tour to Hamilton, which lasted a Week, and the expense to each person was only 552500. This was made pos- sible by the men and women of the many industries we visited and by the Headmaster of Hillfield School. On this trip I was profoundly im- pressed by the vastness and variety of Canadian Industry, as well as the manner in which the people who run it work. I was still more im- pressed by the 'flVIilk of human kindness of those whom we met. To start with, the Headmaster of Hillfield insisted that we stay at his home for the duration of our visit. He was going away on holidays, and he turned over his house keys to us. Here it was that We slept and prepared breakfast. All other meals except three or so were supplied by the various plants we visited. Mr. Scully, head of the big- gest iron and steel company of Canada, personally made sure that our stay in Hamilton was made enjoyable. On the last day he put the cherry on the sundae, so to speak, by giving us a tremendous meal at his private club. Now, when a man like him takes time out to help a group such as we, it gives one proof and a wonderful feeling that there are still lots of kind people in the world today. Thus I say that these experiences along with the many which occur throughout the year, have given us an advantage when we take our place in society. There have been some other activities throughout the year which I think deserve mention. The boys will all agree that we much ap- preciate the work of John Chamard and Dal Broadhead, who gave us a fine addition to the school in the form of a well equipped Tuck Shop, or maybe I should say canteen now. This has been a source of com- fort to many of us on many occasions. I would like to extend my thanks to David Ross - Captain of the Boarders, lVlervin Sutherland and IHE ASHBURI.-l.N' 101 Fred Reid - Co-captains of the clay boys, and to all the prefect body for their cooperation and a job well clone. To the boys I would like to say that though there were rough spots, it was a gnocl year. 'Ili the Nlasters, I don't quite know what to say - except a sincere thank you for all that you have done. Last of all, I would like to say to all our parents, nn behalf of the boys here, that we do appreciate what you are doing for us in sending us to school here. YVe don't always express our feelings and in the case of some of the younger of us, we do not yet realize them. But for the older boys, we do have a good idea of what you have given us in the form of Ashbury College headed by our own Mr. Perry. To the Staff of Ashbury College and to our parents, from all of us, many, many thanks. 102 THE ASHBURIAN LITERARY SECTICN THE DEVELOPMENTS IN ENGLISH THCIUGHT, LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE FROM ANGLO-SAXON TO ELIZABETHAN TIMES Of the nations founded after the Birth of Christ, England has one of the greatest stores of literature on the earth, she has developed from the Anglo-Saxon and French languages, with the aid of sprin- klings from Latin, Celtic and Viking tongues, one of the major lan- guages of the world today, and through this combination of races, her population has acquired, among other nations, a unique Way of thinking. Having originated from the territory that is now Germany, the Anglo-Saxons spoke a Germanic dialect which is the prime founder of Modern English. The Anglo-Saxons contributed early pagan chants about their war-heroes from pre-Christian times, some of which were compiled into the first British epic, f'BeoWulf',, by a brilliant, if anony- mous Christian author. Germanic poetry did not rhyme as does ours, but it derives its music from alliterations-similar sounds at the begin- nings of words. Although this people had a crude alphabet of runes , nothing was set down as literature until the advent of Christianity into the isles, through Saint Columba, from Ireland, in 563, and Saint Augustine, from Rome, in 597. With them came Monks who made a job of copying old manuscripts and writing their own, such as Bede's, As can be guessed from the usual subject of their bards, the Church History of the English Peoplev, the first real history, Anglo- Saxons were originally a war-loving, bloodthirsty race. But as they settled down in England and other lands, they became more agricul- tural and confined their early lust for roving more or less to listening to the tales of great battles and old heroes. Suddenly, in the late eighth century, the Danes invaded, plunder- ing the monasteries for their riches and destroying the great stores of English Literature. For a time, darkness prevailed until a spark of light appeared with King Alfred the Great, who organized, among other things, The Anglo-Saxon Chroniclew from a series of random notes. This was maintained until 1154 A.D. Then, in 1055 A.D., came another invasion. The Normans, Vikings who had settled along the northern French coast and had picked up the French tongue and way of life, crossed the channel, bringing with them a great change in English life. The literature of the Middle English Period, written in Latin, French and English, was more abundant and varied than before. Histories and Chronicles were written, by the Monks, in Latin. Romances and ballads, which told of great battles between knights in V THE AsHBUR1.4.v 10,- shining armour and giants and fire-breathing dragons, and of lords, ladies and love, were the chief forms of romance. Drama entered in the form of Biblical tales enacted first by the clergy, then by various guilds. And the distribution of these early works was increased bv Caxton's first printing press set up in 1476 A.D. i There were now, in England, two spoken languages which soon became blended into one, the foundation of the linglish we speak today. The peasantry spoke the old Anglo-Saxon or linglish tongue while the conqueror overlords spoke their own Norman French. ln the process of blending, the English graimuar was simplified and the order changed. The Normans brought across with them a completely new thought: 'fChivalry7', which idealized respect for women and obedience to God and king. The system of government was based on a theoretical supposition that the king owned all the land and leased it for military service to his nobles who rented to the knights, and so on down to the serf. This was known as the f'Feudal System . On account of the Wars of the Roses, literature faded out for a while but it emerged, fresh and new, with the Renaissance in 1400. In poetry, the Sonnet, a fourteen-line lyric in iambic pentameter, be- came the most popular form. Spenser wrote the second British Epic, The Faerie Queen . With Bacon's introduction of essays, prose made a great advance. The Bible was translated. But the greatest contribu- tion was the drama as developed by Shakespeare and his contempo- raries. Characteristics, such as the appearance of a ghost, were inherited from the ancient Latin and Greek, and the more recent mystery plays. Blank verse-unrhymed lines of iambic pentameter - came into its own. Because the language had by now developed into one English tongue, Britain was bonded more than ever before into one great coun- try. Men began to take pride in their motherland, especially after such feats as the destruction of the huge Spanish Armada, and the begin- nings of an empire which was maintained and expanded with British naval supremacy. Thus England developed from a horde of uncivilized, illiterates to the leading power, and most civilized nation of her day.

THE .-ISHBURI.-LN' 105 A SHORT ACCOUNT UF HORSE RACING When one speaks of a race horse, he automatically refers to the English or Kentucky thoroughbred. All true thoroughbreds trace their names to three great sires, the Darley Arabian, Godolphin Arabian and the Byerley Turk. As time went on, less and less Arab blood was introduced and the desire for speed became more and more paramount, until in the races of to-day, no other breed can, in a test of speed, stand up to the thoroughbred. The thoroughbred has a very fiery and highstrung nature, but he is also very courageous. His description is a horse standing anywhere from fifteen hands to seventeen hands, with a long neck, refined head, shoulders very sloping, legs hard and of good bone, a short back, a deep chest and a high croup. Those thoroughbreds that have a place in racing or steeplechasing, eventually find a market as hunters, studs, hacks, show horses, and even polo ponies. The life of the young thoroughbred whose career we will, as an example, follow to the age of three, begins on a large horse ranch in Kentucky. Spring time is foaling time, and it was in the spring of 1935 that War Admiral, a son of Man-o-War, was born. From the be- ginning, the colt was taught the feel of a halter and human discipline. When he reached the yearling stage, it was time for the saddle and to be broken to the barrier. Then he was timed for speed. It was here that his trainer started selecting the good colts and selling the bad ones. War Admiral was recognized as exceptional, and justified his owner's faith. In his career as a two year old, he did not give the impression of a winner. This, however, did not discourage the trainer, for he knew that many good distance horses were slow in developing, and also that a good sprinter rarely proved to be a good stayer when the track was lengthened for the three year old trials. In racing, most attention is given to the three year olds, for it is at that age that the stakes are highest and that the colts are con- sidered to be at their peak, although this is not always the case. When War Admiral ran as a two year old. he ran on tracks about M of a mile or so, but now they were lengthened to 114 miles to 11.5 miles. VVhen a horse continually wins, the handicappers add weight, the more the horse wins, the more weight he carries in the next race. Many a champion is scratched because he is asked to carry between 130 and 135 pounds. War Admiral was compelled at one point to carry 135 lbs. Before the race the horses are given a workout, just enough to loosen them upg then they are taken to the starting gate where the jockey is helped by the starters to get his horse into the gate. Then clang! They're off! 7 Now it's the 64th running of the Kentucky Derby. and in the last lap War Admiral is neck and neck with another horse: the riding 106 THE ASHBURIAN crops rise and fall as they cross the finish line. It is necessary to photograph the finish to decide the winner. Then the announcer booms out, Winner-War Admiral, Time-2025 -and all the successful gamblers collect the high bets that horse racing is noted for. Meantime, the owner looks proudly at a horse that he knows has all five qualities of the true race horse - speed, stamina, courage, consistency, and the ability to carry weight. PODHRASKY, IVA. A LUCKLESS SKIER The pure white snow 'neath sunny skies, With crisp and frosty air, Our skierls perfect paradise, He sets off unaware. He loads the car with skis and such And heads for sunny slopes, But he forgets to take a crutch, The thing that he'll need most. Soon he's off without a care, A-charging down the hill, Sweeping by with expert flair, Oh, but what a spill! He was not quite as good as he Imagin'd that he Was, He ended tangled in a tree, And there he stayed, alas! The ski patrol came, pickld him up, And took him to their den, But our poor friend will never sup In skiing huts again. So, my friends, who too are bent On showing off your skills, Donlt be too overconfident, Or you may leave the hills. 7 DUGUID-VA WIT AND WITTICISMS Two taxis crashed outside the Senate Oflice Bldg. in Washington.

Tcczxiiit II-VIC I l I l ms THE ASHBURIAN THE LITTLE YELLOW IDOL Elocution contests can be very dull, but now and then something interesting and humorous can happen. One contest, in particular, that I remember took place in a small South of England town, the name of which I forget. The chairman introduced the celebrity in the audience, it was Major-General Sir Saville Hawthorne - better known to his men in the Punjab as old Spikes The chairman then introduced the contestants in the order of their appearance. The first five stepped forward, one at a time, and recited with great eloquence. Then the sixth, by the name of Rupert P. Fennyfettinforth, stepped forward. He started to recite the first twenty-nine verses of that famous poem The Little Yellow Idol , he began the 30th and last verse with the lines:- f'There's a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu . . . He was stopped by the vigorous shout of that famous little man, Major-General Sir Saville Hawthorne, known as 'fold Spikesn to his men, who wished to inform the contestant, Mr. Rupert P. Fennyfettin- forth, that the town of Kathmandu had expanded and that the idol was, today, to the south of Kathmandu. The general sat down with a twist of his mustache and a knowledgeable gleam in his eye. The contestant, very Hustered, took the generalls advice and proceeded thus: There's a little yellow idol to the south of Kathmandu, Therels a little yellow god 'neath the town . . . Here, Mr. Rupert P. Fennyfettinforth was again interrupted by Major-General Sir Saville Hawthorne, or old Spikes , who, pleased by the way in which his first correction had been taken, begged to interrupt again. There's nothing little about that statue old boy, it weighs well on four hundred-weight. The general sat down with a plop, and Mr. Rupert P. Fenny- fettinforth, red in the face, embarrassed, and ruddy well annoyed, began the last verse over again: There's a big yellow idol to the south of Kathmandu, There's a big yellow god 'neath the town, Where a broken hearted widow tends the grave of Mad Carew . . .ll 7 77 The famous little general jumped up this time as if shot from a gun and burst out - Nothing broken hearted about her! Caused great scandal by her marriage . . . to Major Wfebb . . . a month after Carew's death, they're still talking about it back in the Punjab . . . Bad show and THE ASHBURMN 109 all that, eh! what! what I and with a twist of his well waxed mustache, sat down. There are no words to describe the condition of poor bedevilled Mr. Fennyfettinforth. He began again: D h There's a big yellow idol to the south of Kathmandu, There's a big yellow god 'neath the town, Whe1'e a happy hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew, And that blg god forever gazes down. ' There was a hearty laugh from the general as he stood this tlme to tell Mr. Rupert P. Fennyfettinforth that - Some miserable thieves had made off with the idol's one yellow eye. So you see sirf' continued the general, the dashed thing can't see at all. He sat down. Later, the chairman told me that the general had told him confidentially that it was really some boys from the fort out on a spree. Mr. Rupert P. Fennyfettinforth meanwhile started over the last verse again, completely dazed and confused. This is what emerged: There's a big-little yellow idol to the north-south of Kathmandu There's a little-big yellow god 'neath the town, Where a broken-happy hearted widow-woman tends the grave of Mad Carew, And that big-little god does all the best that I can do. 3 KIRBY, VIA Doo DAYS I It was only a small bit of a town really, just one wide, straight street Where the highway passed through and the slightly narrower concession road crossed it at right angles. The only reason the town survived was that it was situated fairly close to Big Lake. This per- mitted the Year-round folki' to line off the 'fsummer folkwg that is, when they were not collecting unemployment insurance. YVell, anyway it was one of those extra hot days when it is too hot even to go fishing, and consequently about half the people in the town were sitting on their front porches just meditating. In front of the Central Hotel there were a couple of young bloods entertaining the clientele of the Central by poking a tired dog in the ribs with pointed sticks. Evidently they were not getting enough action out of the animal, so somebody threw a beer bottle from the balcony which encircled the hotel, and the dog took off down the street without anymore ado. Shortly after this a German Shepherd iambled out from behind the hotel and soon became the next centre of attraction. He was well known about the town, and was a good natured dog who did not mind the teasing, for by this time he was getting used to it. However, one of the fellows had a surprise for him. he had obtained IIO THE ASHBURIAN a four foot length of inner tube and every time the dog bit into it, the rubber would be stretched about six feet and allowed to snap back into his face. The German Shepherd was becoming quite frustrated when a car stopped in front of the hotel and a man got out and entered the main door of the establishment. Inside the car was a short haired brown and black dog which looked quite nervous, the way it was jumping around all over the seats. Well, it all started when somebody on the balcony said to his neighbour, I bet that skinny mut in the car wouldn't last long in a fight with the German Shepherd . Then the fat was really in the fire. Somebody opened the car door and the dog jumped out and came trotting around the car. I got a good look at the skinny dog a second before he came face to face with the Shepherd and it was then that I saw that he was a Doberman Pinscher. The German Shepherd was lucky and got in the first bite, which caught the Doberman in his right foreleg. There was nothing anyone could do for either dog, for in three quick slashes he had broken the German Shepherd's neck. Yes, that so called uskinny dogn has a reputation for being one of the dead- liest of dogs. By golly, this isn't a very big town, but we sure have fun. Boom:-VI-B STUDY VVork to do. Time is short.

I could see nothing wrong in donning a rather fashionable hat when I disembarked at U-in-Or, the chief port of the small principality of Keeran. I descended the gang-way from the ship, happily anticipating my week's holiday in this world-renowned pleasure-spot, when suddenly a scarlet-coated official stopped me. He was very polite, but firm. uWould you please come this way, sir? he said. There were not many people arriving at the dock, but why should he have suddenly decided to ask me to accompany him? I agreed, grudgingly, to go with him, and after depositing my luggage at the Baggage Room, I followed him to a little white building near the Custom House. It was gloomy inside the place, and with only one window, it was very hot. The one-roomed building was barely furnished - just a desk piled with files, documents and the day's newspapers. However, I did not take much notice of the things in the room, It was the people that bothered me. Behind the desk sat a little man with an evil little face, dressed in a green uniform from which medals dangled merrily. On either side of him were two huge, muscle-bound giants, dressed in similar green uniforms, but without medals. Alright Kavey, said the little man, f'XVhy did you return?,' This question disconcerted me. First, my name isn't Kavey, and secondly, this was my first visit to U-in-Or. I think you've made a mistake . . . I said, rather lamely. 'fHah! snorted the little man, 'CI know we havent I didn't know what to make of this last speech. I saw that they were waiting for me to re-open the conversation. My name isn't Kavey, I said, I've got identification to prove Pm . . . Forged! said the little man. I have friends who'll testify I'm . . . 'fBribed!', said the little man. I was somewhat nonplussed. I had heard of cases of mistaken identity, of course, but I'd never been involved in one. What am I supposed to have done? I cried, hoping it wasn't murder, 4'I've done nothing wrong! g'Murder, treason, armed robbery, trespassing, blackmail . . the little man rolled off a score of terrible crimes. XVell, he said, Pm glad you've decided to return and be hanged. Hanged? I shouted. I was really worried. A Hanged, drawn, and quartered, said the little man, giving me an enchanting smile, I see you've tried plastic surgery, Kavey. quite successful wasn't it? Wfas it? As far as I was concerned I still had the same face I was born with. The little man went on, his enchanting a 112 THE ASHBURIAN smile becoming nauseating. I tried lastic sur er m self he said D D P g Y Y a a but it doesn't change your character! The henchman on his left stood up. I retreated, but was barred by the wall. The henchman came near me, glared at me, and snatched my hat off. He handed it to the little man. There! shouted the little man, Mis the object that will hang you! You've never been seen without this hat, Kavey, the one with the striped band and dirty pink spotsli' I realised that my hat must be identical to one worn by the genuine Kavey. I hastened to explain that I had bought the hat in London. Needless to say no-one believed me. The henchmen were just proceeding to handculf me, when the door burst open, and another scarlet-coated oflicial thrust in a ruffian-type being, with bushy eye- brows and a hat just like mine. '4I've caught Kavey he announced triumphantly. Needless to say, I was released. The little man was profuse in his apologies. In fact, he gave me a pass to U-in-Or's only theater, of which he was the owner. I threw the hat into the sea. Nowadays I go bare-headed. It's just not worth the trouble involved, when one wears a hat. MARLAND, VIC WINTER I felt it coming, with this bitter gale, Whose breath, disrobing all the trees Of their fall raiment bright, proclaims, All Hail!

Costain Moneymai1 to the Kingf' that was the title of Jacques Coeur, man of wealth, vision and integrity. Thomas Costain, the author, has woven a tale of a great love and a great conspiracy over the deeds of him, his compatriots and his enemies. The story is set in fifteenth-century France, the France of Charles VII. The English are still in the country despite the heroic stand of Jeanne d'Arc. The Dauphin, whom the Maid of Orleans strove to place on the throne, is in the middle of his reign. Nothing further had been done about the foreign invaders and the people of France were restless. Lady Agnes Sorel, the wise and beautiful woman who controlled the actions of the King, was dying. About Jacques C oeur: he was born in 1395, son of a merchant. As history's first great merchant prince, he built up a huge fortune in trading between France and the Levant. He however desired more than wealth, Coeur wanted to raise the social level of all classes and to replace war with trade. Summoned to the court in 14-36, his close liaison with Agnes Sorel continued his successes and influenced the King on the needs of the country. He advanced vast sums of money required to drive the English out of Normandy. When he learned that Lady Agnes was dying he found Valerie, a young girl of sixteen, the image of Agnes, and had her schooled and educated for the task of replacing the King's mistress. Little did he realize that the first strands of a fatal net of love and intrigue were being woven. Various characters play their parts, well portrayed as people of their time. Using these characters Mr. Costain has spun an absorbing and convincing tale but the one factor which contributes most to the high standard of the novel is his attention to detail. To take an example: the auction of house-servants in the streets of Paris. The worried look of the servants, the hesitancy of the merchants seeking a parlour-maid, the small crowd of jeering idlersg and the arrival of the town bully who obtains his labourers by sheer size and strength rather than by legal means. Chivalry, and the honours of lanighthood are made mock of. Mr. Costain mentions in a later book The Conquerorsw chivalry is only a word in those times. One might up-hold the honour of a fair lady one day and then murder her family the next. Such was chivalry! The unscrupulous nobles and knights and also the disunification of the country makes one wonder how the English were driven out at all! Reading the book one soon sees in it the seeds of the revolution coming three centuries later. THE ASHBL'Rl.4.N' 115 This is a book to be reconzmezlded lo all those who enjoy a historical novel and also to those who like to romantieize over the doings of famous men. It is a story written by a man well-known for firing the imagination of his readers and for keeping his historical facts correct. LYNN-V.-X '4DRAG - he cars were resting side by side. On pavement cold and grey. The question was would they decide, For Ford or Chevrolet. The Ford was red, the Chev was green, Naturally both with duals g The spinners shone with a lustrous gleam, As if beset with jewels. The time had come, the light turned green, The engines roared to lifeg This race to many people seemed, A useless, futile strife. The tires screamed as if in pain, The throttles opened wideg The cars sped on, each trying to gaing Which one would turn the tide? The Ford began to surge aheadg The Chev a length behindg But they forgot to figure on The dangerous pavement's wind. While on a curve the Ford took off, It rolled and hit a wall. The flames and smoke which towered aloft, Became the Chevy's pall. The parents to their funeral went. Most sorrowful and blue. The lesson of this tale is meant, To show what f'drags can do. Co'1t'1'oN l-VIA SONNET THE ASHBURIAN When spring is come and mother nature wakes, And bees set buzzingly to work, all day The towering sun launches its arrowing rays And greenling mountains shine from purple lakesg When snow is fled and everyone's forsaking The smokey fireplace and the indoor phase - That's when the gaudy bluebird serenadesg That's when the violet's through the grass a-making. 'L ,Tis Spring! 'Tis spring! each brooklet seems to sing, And all about sweet life resumes its ways. Humanity in wonder contemplates The miracle that never fails to bring New hope with every breath of champagne days And life with newfound vigour palpitates.

It is to be hoped that you will agree that a fine editorial stall' should be congratulated in the magazine itself and will accept this public acknowledgement of my appreciation of the excellent work done by The Editor and his small stall. It has been suggested that one can believe that each year we improve just because that is what we want to believe, but this year the boys working with the magazine have carried on the high standards set by Bill Colls, and if we have reached the superlative, will hope that we stay on top. Might I remind one or two of our reluctant contributors of the New Testament story of Simon the Cyrenean, and hope that their compulsory task becomes a pleasure and a joy - now that they see their labours in print. Each year will bring out some talent, and whilst willing to admit, along with some of the critics, that we of the Junior School cannot go on improving, it must be emphatically un- derstood that we cannot afford to deteriorate. L.I.H.S. EDITORIAL As you have heard frequently during the month of May, the Junior Ashburian cannot continue unless the boys of the Junior School do the work. It is easy for a magazine to prosper if it is good enough to sell, but with the Junior Ashburian, which you all receive, it can only prosper if the standards are high and the contributions from you, the boys of the Junior School, are so numerous that it is difficult to decide what the Editor must include, so it is hoped that those who were reluctant to contribute will read this Editorial and think about it long enough to realise the simple truth of the foregoing. VVhile being grateful to the loyal supporters, might I be allowed to prick the conscience of those who were so reluctant, and remind them that they will be utarred and feathered if their criticisms are heard by this Department. For you, dear critic, might have been the very con- tributor who could have made this, our fourth year, the best yet - IAI N FR.-xsiik-Frlilor HOUSEMASTERS REPORT ' A family feeling is developing in our Memorial NYing, and it is this sense of unity which is primarily responsible for the successful year which has just passed. XVe ended the year with 32 boys, but it is a happy family and, I think. a proud one. The boys have lived 120 THE ASHBURIAN together in an atmosphere of cheerfulness and cooperation. I am pleased to note that the generally good behaviour does not entirely come from a fear of punishment, the boys have a real pride in their YVin0' and in Ashburv. D . The tidiness of the rooms has been at a high standard. Rooms 7 and 8 won the awards for the first two terms, and I would like to congratulate publicly Room 3 who were runners up both times, for I think that an award based on the entire year would have gone to them. Parents and schoolmasters know how cruel children can be to one another. I am glad to report that no serious bullying was brought to my attention all year. We were all proud at the full junior representation in the boxing tournament and the Cross Country races. The Monitors have done a consistently good job. Their routine chores go a long way to making the life of the Wing run smoothly, and are of great help to the masters on duty. Mrs. Mulhall has been a house mother in the full sense of the term and has been cheerfully available from rising bell to lights out bell. Thank you to all for making my fifth year in the memorial Wing a good one. D. L. POLK JUNIOR CHAPEL NOTES Under the new timetable, the Junior School has been having its own Chapel service every morning, with the Rev. Bevan Monks as Chaplain and Mrs. M. Dalton as organist. Mr. Monks has also trained a Junior Choir, and the highlight of their year was a visit to Parliament House, and a meeting with the Prime Minister. Another outing organised by Mr. Monks and Mrs. Dalton for the Junior Choir was a morning with Mr. Godfrey Hewett, organist and Choir lWaster at Christ Church Cathedral. From this latter visit the boys learned just how it is done by the experts. It has been generally agreed that the separate Chapel service is very successful. There is not even trouble with the stragglers now, which would indicate that the boys are keen to get here in time for C 'theirw service. Several juniors were prepared by the Senior Chaplain for Con- firmation. Ca separate report elsewhere - Rditori This allows them the privilege of approaching the altar rail now at all services of Holy Communion. We look forward to next September, when it is expected that all boys will be in fine voice after the summer spent practising!

JUNIOR FOOTBALL Under the efiicient coaching of Mr. Gorman. the Junior Football Team became very enthusiastic, so much so that they were able to beat their old rivals, Rockcliffe Park Public School, an event that is always cause for celebration. There has been some criticism about this militant rivalry, but we of the Team would like it to be well known that there is no enmity between the two teams, just a good team spirit that makes each side want to beat the other in clean. open football. Unfortunately we are not as fortunate as that other team - we do not take trips away, but that is something we are hoping for in the future. Kim Rawley, a new boy, was awarded his Colours for Football, and he is to be congratulated for so quickly making his presence felt at Ashbury.

JUNIOR SOCCER The Junior Soccer Team this year produced a 'cstarw in goalie, .Iohn Partridge. It is not often any team can go a whole season and not have a goal scored against it, and this was John's enviable record, one that will be hard to break. Naturally he was awarded his Third Colours for this feat, and the whole team was proud of this remarkable, yet modest, young player. Another new boy, Jose Nloran from Venezue.a, added glamour to the team but this clever Cbut undis- ciplinedl player was the despair of our Coach, Mr. Spencer. Never mind Jose, we think he has forgiven you! The two annual trips to Selwyn House and Sedbergh were uhighlightsw of the season. VVe appreciated the kindness and friendly rivalry we meet every season at these two schools, and I would like to take this opportunity, my last in the Juniors, of thanking the Captains and teams of said schools for their hospitality Bon HYNDMAN-Captain THE A.s'HBuR1,-:N 123 C0 4, 46, 9-on ' 9-9' 505 45' .

UNDER 11 SOCCER Although the Under 11 Soccer played only one game against Sedbergh, it was exciting, with some good soccer, ensuring the con- tinued success of Mr. Spencer's Junior Soccer Team next year. Sedbergh scored first, then Ashbury retaliated with a brilliant goal to even the score. ln the second half Sedhergh scored early, but in the final minutes of play Ashbury evened the score to end the game in a tie. . It is to be hoped that more fixtures can he arranged in the future. for it is from these boys that the first soccer team will eventually get their players. .Ionx P.xR'iRiiicpif-fkzpffzirz 1:11:12 'x ,. 4 ,Wm ,,.. .,x,V 124 THE ASHBURIAN 4 afi- QU Q04 T7 . ,'MA .I .ka SQ yay ag fafilr ? - ,,,,.1, 1 :.V: Eg ,.,,, we ., .. , ,. .. ,.-1 --, -- -- .--.. ..,,.y -Na... - ' -- ,I ., , ., ' J 'ii-'I5E3:g.,: izggzgzv i' ' ?Ef. i'?5?QEEEq, ' i:'?QE'i1i3 ' f ' J' , 1,2,1:c1':.f1:-.. n5.zx1:a2: :':g ,5g.'-1355. .. :,..s:.:t1g.g.',2, ... 2- , ' ' X' .fs -' ' :xg'g5,1j:,j1g2g1--gc!'11-4.2 ,f :-....f.- ,.

JUNIOR HOCKEY This yE'Z11'.,S team was of very high caliber, and considering the much smaller enrolment, we more than held our own in the League, consisting of R.C.A.F. I and II, Viscount Alexander, Fairfield and Rockclifle Park Public Schools. The series of semi-Hnal games against Rockclitle produced some exciting hockey, both on our rink and at the Minto. After one win, one loss and two ties, the deciding game ended in a 3 -:2 loss. It was had luck, boys, but still a creditable performance. The National Hockey League gave every boy from Form II to Transitus an opportunity, and this series has done much to produce young players for next season.

JUNIOR CRICKET XI As usual, this has been a short season, but a very interesting one. ln four weeks we played four matches, first against Bishops here, then the animal 'cpilgrimagew to Lennoxville to play Bishops on their own ground - unfortunately We lost both these games, much to the chagrin of our Coach, Mr. Spencer, who Cquite wrongly, of coursel predicted that we would have a really bad season. After the much-talked-of game against Sedbergh, played in continuous rain, he even changed his mind to the extent of telling the team that it was the best fielded game of his teaching career. The last game was the ever popular trip up to Sedbergh for the return game. We were luckier here, too, as we defeated Sedbergh both times. CHRIs GABIR-Captain -4 THE ASHBURIAN 127 JUNIOR HOUSE GAMES The introduction of Junior House Games in Soccer and Cricket has been received with great enthusiasm. WVhen Alexander defeated Connaught 2-1 this gave the boys Cand don't forget the Masters, tool of Alexander a new lease of life. At the time of writing, there is a hard fought cricket game in its third day, with Alexander once again in the box seat , as they have Connaught on the run, and nothing short of a miracle could prevent a win for Alexander in the Junior House Cricket. The boys would like to say thank you to Mr. Polk for giving his approval and encouragement, and to Mr. Spencer for refereeing the soccer and umpiring the cricket. CPardon that long-winded state- ment, but we must get the correct terms, must we not, boys?D I am Sure that the boys in IIIA will hope that these House games continue next year, and this year's interest should give those in authority the necessary impetus to ensure that they do.

CAMPBELI. I FORM NOTES - IIIA BEGGS-John, who is twelve, tried the third football team, and played very Well. He hopes to get his M.L.T.S. because he feels he works for it, but Mr. Spencer, our Form Master, won't agree - he says John could work harder! BROWN-Peter is the Form brain , He is handicapped by indifferent health, and is, therefore frequently absent, but he still maintains an average of 7562. He tried for the third soccer, and hopes to make the team next year. BERLIN -Frank is a new boy this year, and a very popular one at that. He has caught on to Latin, Algebra and French, new subjects to him, and has done very well. His ambition is to be a lawyer, and the way he talks, he must mean a court lawyer. Good luck, Frank. BRADLEY-AUbTCy' skipped Form IIIB this year, and where have we heard, You'll have to work harder, Aub, if you want to passlv? He tries hard in sport, too. We would like him to know that we admire the efforts he has made this year. CHRISTIE-T3lbOt,S second year has been a good one for him. XYe notice his interest in model-making is still his preoccupation, sometimes to the extent of making trouble over unhmshed prep. COOK-Allan, a new boy this year, has made his mark. His happy knack of never being around when the trouble breaks has made him the 132 THE ASHBURIAN envy of all his many friends. His ambition is to be a Boston Red Sox player, but Mr. Spencer has other ideas, such as making him pass English and History. FELLER-Michael is our sports man. He is just plain good at all sports, and this year he has improved things by getting good marks as well. He is working harder because he wants to be an architect, a long, tough course. GILLEAN-Andy did much better in sport this year, and that pleases him. He seems to think he deserves an lVl.L.T.S. but at the time of writing, he has decided it just isn't possible this year. GRANT-Christopher suffers from being the tallest boy in the class. He takes the jokes very well. He made the third football team this year. He is pretty sure of his M.L.T.S., too. HRGGTVEIT-Gibby, whose widely diversified interests range from the third football team to Mr. Monkls choir, is often in trouble over his lazy way of setting about his Work. He hopes for his lVI.L.T.S. but We wonder. I'lUlXIl'I-IRYS-BI'l21l1, one of the very best behaved boys, has the gift of seeming to work While actually doing not much at all. Of course, exam times catches up with him, as it does with all of us. His determined ambition is to be a sports writer. Inn-In the short time Dick has been at Ashbury, he seems to have made more friends than he can handle. He gets on Well with the upowers that be but he is such a good guy, nobody seems to mind. He is making every effort to catch up, and thus make his year. Good luck, Dick! l.Ac:H.1xRI'1'Y-John is Mr. Spencer's pride and joy , but please don't get me wrong. He is no teacher's pet, just a very eflicient Monitor. As well as making the football, hockey and cricket teams, we all expect him to take the Form Prize, with his 83W average. If you can get that kind of percentage from Mr. Spencer you're good, boy! THE ASHBURIAN 133 LANDYMORE-Rod, an almost equally efficient ex-Monitor Hirst term J. We gave him such a bad time he let it be known that he preferred not to have the honour after the Christmas holidays thinking it over. He works well, and deserves his M.L.'l'.S. L1-:ROY-Well, I can't write anything about myself because no one will agree with nie, thanks to Mr. Spencer's sabotage. But I forgive him, and admit that I have enjoyed my year in IIIA tbut not enough to spend next year there, too.D XVhen I get older I still want to built hot cars. LYNN-Evan, a new boy, brother of Neil tnow in the Senior School J, has certainly made his mark on the Form. He works hard, but still has time to be friendly, and takes part in all the fun. He looks forward to that summer in Pemiquid, Maine. MACl'HAIL-Ml'. Spencerls friend has been playing up a bit lately, and blaming all the wrong people when the results catch up with him. Jamie, my friend, you have the remedy in your own hands. You donit really deserve that M.L.T.S. you expect to get. MORAN-JOSC, a new South American boy, was the star of the .Iunior Soccer team. There was a great deal of talk when he did not get his colours but I had my ear to the ground recently and heard Mr. Spencer say he won't get his cricket colours either if he doesn't discipline himself. He played hockey for the first time, and then added to his fame by being one of the stars of the cricket team - and he had never heard of the game before! YVe won't talk about the classroom this time. POLK-Mike, a star gymnast, and an ardent track and field man, has been earning praise in other directions lately - for his class work. Good luck, Mike, and keep it up, because it does save so much trouble. RADCLIFFE-John would be Mr. Spencer's pet if our Form Master had such things as pets. He is a great boy in gym and sport, and he has made such improvement in class since September we all wonder where he hid his talent before coming to Ashbury. He has to work for it, we admit, but everybody admires his efforts. Keep it up, John - it gets easier as it goes along. REED-Harry seems to have the virtue of being able to talk Form Masters out of a bad mood. It is probably his happy nature that does it. As well as a most likely M.L.T.S.. he is a good sport and gives the lie to those who say little guys can't make the teams. He has been a good assistant Monitor. RYDE-Paul sits right under the h'Iaster's nose. XVhy - well, he just doesn't like work, and won't do it unless urged Cthat is Mr. Spencer's word for itj. In a short while he has become a very popular boy, but I guess we have to agree with authority and admit that personality has never got a fellow through exams. j-Q4 THE ASHBURIAN SINIITH-StCXW'3I't got off to a bad start, but once we learned to accept his different,' manner we realised that we were wrong and that Stu was a regular guy. Work comes easy to him, and in the sports field he made the cricket team. We look forward to a report of his interesting summer, which includes a visit to his home in Cairo and a trip to Greece. MR. SPENCER-Believing that the Form Master is as much a part of the Form as the boys, I would like to include our four-star General in the Kangaroo Army. If he wants to know what we think of him, just remember the birthday, Christmas, and end-of-year parties. Perhaps we aren't the best Form a teacher ever spent a year with, but we forgive him for all those rude things he has said about us this year.

JUNIOR SCI-IOSL ACTIVITIES MEMORIAL NVING NOTES This year, the Memorial VVing started off with twenty-nine boys, and now has thirty-two. The room prize was won by room three the first term, and it was a hard decision, but room seven took it the second term. The boys scurry around tidying up in the half hour before the Inspection bell rings, which also provides healthy competition. This year, Mr. J ackson's duty was taken by Mr. Gorman, which in turn was taken by Mr. Sherwood, who came from Lakefield school, whom We play in football, and hockey. We were happy to welcome Mrs. Mulhall back, with her television set, naturally! This T.V. provides an excellent chance to get candy which she offers us! The junior wing had a ping-pong tournament, which was not finished at the time of writing. It is exciting to watch, although I myself did not compete. Every evening the upper three forms of the junior school had books to read that were issued at the beginning of each term, and we are tested on them at the time of the examinations at the end of the term, or thereabouts. This was the best year I think that I have been here, and I leave with happy thoughts and will perhaps never forget them. BRIAN MERRETI'-Morzitor PUBLIC SPEAKING This year Mr. Spencer was not able to persuade very many students to enter the 'public speaking'. However, three boys from the Junior School did enter, and they made quite a good showing. ' I was the first to speak and I entitled my speech, The Arctic . Talbot Christie was the second speaker, who made a good try. and succeeded in making a very interesting speech. It was entitled 'The Lion'. 140 THE ASHBURIAN The last to speak was Jamie MacAulay who made an excellent and interesting speech about 'fFiberglass . Mr. Spencer hopes that next year the Junior School will be a little more co-operative, and produce a few more contestants. CAMPBELL I-Trans. TRANSITUS CLASS TRIPS Mr. Polk, our Form Master, has taken us on several trips each term. In the fall term we had a delightful surprise when Mr. Polk told us that we were going on trips to the Parliament Building, the E. B. Eddy Company, and to the Mint. In the morning after Chapel, we caught a bus and sped on our way to the Parliament Building. Here we were shown through the library, and the paintings of famous men. After this, we took a Hull bus to the E. B. Eddy Company. We were met there by a few members of the Eddy staff. We were broken into two groups and were shown around the buildings. We saw the wood being made into pulp, and the pulp in its turn being made into paper. After this we took a bus to the Mint. Here we saw the money being stamped and printed. Then we went back to school and had lunch. In the afternoon we went to a movie called White Wilderness . It was very good. In a morning of the winter term we were taken to the Ottawa Citizen. First of all we were shown slides in one of the rooms. After- wards came the real thing. We saw the presses, the letter stampers, and the pot with molten lead in it. Then it was back to school and lunch. The afternoon was filled with gore. That is, the slaughter-house. First we saw how the cows and pigs were killed and hung up on racks. Then we were taken through the refrigeration rooms where the car- casses are kept fresh until needed. Then was the sausage room. Mmn,'! You sausage lovers would have liked this. Rows of all different kinds of weiners, sausages, salami, all different sizes and shapes. So, another nice day of class trips was spent. We are very grateful Cand I speak for Transitusl to Mr. Polk, and all the other nice people, who have made these class trips possible for Transitus. Our appreciation, and our thanks! NOEL-BENTLEY II-Trans. IIIA CLASS TRIPS Wednesday, May 20th was an important date for IIIA. Thanks to the kindness of Mrs. Malcolm Grant, mother of one of the boys in IIIA, it was arranged that we should visit the factory of Hugh Carson Ltd., Leather Merchants. I am sure that no boy expected the visit to be as thrilling as it was. lNIr. Spencer, our Form Blaster, spent the THE AsHBUR1AN 141 early part of the morning giving us pep talks , and then when we arrived at the factory, the Manager, Mr. Hutchinson, warned us of the danger of not keeping together and the risk we ran if we put our hands near the knives used for cutting the leather. Mr. Hutchinson gave us more than an hour of his valuable time, and nothing was too much trouble to explain. As we moved around the factory all the employees were so helpful. fPerhaps they knew we were Christopher's class mates, and wanted to make sure we knew everything there was to know about the high class merchandise produced by this firm J. XVe would like, once again, to say athank you to all those people who made this such an interesting, as well as instructive morning. Then in the afternoon, Mr. Spencer had arranged with the Com- manding Ofiicer of the R.C.A.F. at Upland for us to visit there. It was such a long, hot trip, with a tiresome wait for the bus at Bank and Grove we were not sure of the success of the visit. But from the very first moment when Flight-Lieutenant Cridland greeted us, we just knew that it was going to be another day to remember . VV e saw Sabre jets, C-F IOO's, the new Argus - and what a plane it is! - and certainly very popular was an opportunity to get right inside the two planes Her Majesty, the Queen will use on her visit to Canada. One was a converted North Star, now made into one of the most comfortable planes in the air. The other was a Comet II, to be used for the longer hauls. The crowning touch was the offer of Flt-Lieut Cridland to send us back to Ashbury in an Air Force bus. We would like to say thank you once again to this kindly officer, who, we are sure, must get fed up with kids like ourselves asking so many questions. WV e assure him that we appreciated his patience with us. JOHN LACHARITY-Monitor IIIB CLASS TRIP On Wednesday, May 20, IIIB was given a special treat by Mr. Slattery. In the morning we walked down to visit the RCMP Crime Detection Lab. When we got there we were divided into three groups. First we went to the Lab where an officer told us how they could analyze pills to find out what they were. Next he showed us how they could find finger prints on objects. Afterwards another ofiicer showed us the firearms section where they showed us the difference between a fired bullet and a loaded one. They told us that they could restore filed serial numbers to the guns. Next, they showed us a magnified bullet. Then we were taken into the document section where we were shown the camera room where they take pictures of letters. forged signatures etc. Then we were taken upstairs again where an officer 142 THE ASHBURIAN showed us some counterfeit money. He explained the difference be- tween the two coins. After that we thanked the officer and started home for lunch as the morning was complete and enjoyed by all. After lunch we climbed on a bus and went down to the War Museum where we saw various objects of interest from the first and second world war. Afterwards we Went to the Historical Museum. There we saw General Brock.'s Uniform, Sir John A. MacDonald's furniture and Wolfe's Chair. After that we went to the Mint where we were shown how money was made. This is what we were told. First the gold and silver is melted in the steel vaults and then it is put through cutting machines where it is cut into long strips ready for punching. Then the coins go through the punching machine to give them their shape. The next step is to push them out and give them their design. After the coins are weighed and the heavy ones are melted again and given their correct weight. Then they are packed and shipped away to the banks. FULLER-IIIB MY VISIT T0 MORRISON LAMOTHE On April 27, my two brothers and I Went on a tour of the Morrison Lamothe Bakery. The first thing we saw was the Hour room where the flour is kept. It holds one thousand bags of Hour which lasts for only two weeks. Then we went to the mixing room and saw the men mixing the dough. When it was ready they sent it down the chute to be made into loaves of bread. After we saw the mixing, we Went down some stairs and saw many huge, warm, pans full of dough. Our guide showed us where they put the bread into the ovens to bake it. Next it went to the slicing room and then machines wrapped it up in paper and it was put into the trucks by the men. The men get up at 5 A.M. to deliver the bread to the people in the country. The drivers deliver the bread to the people in huge ten ton trucks. Most people are pleased with the service.

THE ASHBURIAIN' 143 AN APPRECIATION I am not sure whether I am in order, or not, but I would like to speak up for the younger boarders and make public our apprecia- tion of the kindness of the Junior Matron, Mrs. H. Mulhall. It is obvious to all the boarders that she is very kind to us, sometimes much kinder than we deserve. If her television is soon worn out, it will be the younger boys who have shortened the life of said television. Believing that the Memorial XVing is our home for nine months of the year, Mrs. Mulhall has made it just that for us, and although we have sometimes rebelled when sent back to wash our handsCa second time, or to do our hair properly, we do want her to know that we appreciate her devoted service, and we look forward to welcoming her back in the fall. DONALD LOW ALPHABET CONSPIRACY We all knew that our English teacher, Mr. Spencer, had no television, so one Monday morning after the showing of the Bell Telephone Company's full length coloured movie called Alphabet Conspiracy I brought the matter up in class, with the result that Mr. Spencer got in touch with the Bell Telephone Company and they loaned the movie to the school. It was agreed by all, teachers and boys, that it was an easy way of learning about the heritages of our language. We take this opportunity of thanking the Bell Company for letting us have the film. Maybe next Fall they will have something equally good that we can borrow? MACKPYHF-HIB THE RHYTHM BAND Some of the boys in Form I were not too sure that Miss XVood- burn's Rhythm Band entry in the Music Festival was such a good idea, because it seemed that every spare minute from school was taken up by practice. When the band performed at the Recital that Miss NVoodburn's pupils gave at St. Luke's Hall and the clapping was so loud, we changed our minds and decided that all the extra work had been worthwhile. After this run through before the Festival we were well prepared to face the judges on that day. I guess we were just a little bit disap- pointed that we came second, especially as we only lost by one point. Can you beat that - just one point! The Headmaster was there to see us perform, and Mrs. Dalton, our Fomi Mistress came along to help get us ready. Maybe next year we will be way out in front, or at least more than one point in front of the second place winner. GEOFF Bowls II-Conductor '3'Ef,l1f:Z -ff-: ., I .

SOUCH-II 77 PERSEUS There once was a cruel king who did not favour his people. One day his daughter Danae had a son. He did not like the baby so he put both Danae and the baby, who was named Perseus, into the sea in a chest. They floated for days and days and finally landed at Seriphos in Greece. She and the baby were found by a fisherman who was the brother of Polydectes, the king. The fisherman took Danae and the baby to his home and treated her as his daughter, until fifteen years were past. Soon Perseus and his mother fell into great danger. One day, while Perseus was at sea, Polydectes the king, took Danae and made her a slave. When Perseus arrived back home, and found out she was a slave, he went to Polydectes and demanded her release, and she was freed after a fight. One day there was a great feast, and Perseus did not bring Polydectes a present, which made the king very angry. But Perseus vowed he would bring the Gorgon's head to the king. But all the men laughed at him. After many days of journey, Perseus came back with the Gorgonk head. Just as he entered the king's palace he unveiled the head, which turned all the soldiers to stone. Then Perseus married Cepheus' daughter and became Cepheus' son-in-law. After a while he went home to see his mother. You can realise now, I am sure why Perseus is my favourite hero. M.xC1'HA1L-IIIA 146 THE ASHBURIAN THE INFLUENCE OF TELEVISION VV hen being asked to write an essay with such a title, it was presumed that our English Teacher, Mr. Spencer, was asking us for our own opinion, and therefore I can only hope that mine do not conflict with his to the extent that this essay will earn me a D for my class mark. VVhen considering the infiuence of television, there are two angles, the good and the bad. I expect that we boys cannot be blamed if the television set is the focal point of all the activity in the house. It certainly isn't that way in our house, although I do know boys who are allowed to watch anything and everything, including the dreadful programmes which I would not even waste my time watching. On the other hand, used discriminatingly, television can be most helpful. Frequently in class reference is made to some educational programmes, and one would feel lost if one did not understand the re- ference. I am convinced that these well-produced programmes are beneficial. They have to be good, as the competition is so keen. But being allowed to take another hour off your bedtime and watch some crummy play is not putting the family television to its best use. Have you ever been in a house where television is the tyrant? In fifty years time these people will not be able to talk! Nothing must interrupt their favourite programmes, not even taking proper time out to eat a meal. It is further in disfavour in my opinion during the wonderful weather we are experiencing at the time of writing. There are some kids who would prefer to sit inside over the T.V. rather than spend the time out in the fresh air. For the sporty types, it is invaluable. This is one of the advanta- ges. Withotit the Saturday night hockey games during the winter life would not be worth living for some people. Even at the risk of becom- ing a nation of spectators, I think it is invaluable for the sports programmes. Did you know that in the United States alone, there are forty-five million T.V. sets in the homes? How could this influx avoid bringing about radical changes? G. M. J. FEAVER-Transitus P.S. This had to be hurriedly finished during break, that is, before English period. I was watching T.V. last night and didn't finish my Prep! VV ho makes the winter, VVho makes the spring, IV ho makes the flowers And little birds that sing? VICTOR I'IFARNE--FOl'lTl IB THE ASHBURIAN 147 GHOSTS In forests where bats Hy.

Roaraisox III-Il THE PROUD LAMP Many many years ago there was a rich old man who spent vast sums of money on lamps and had more lamps than any other man in the whole wide world. You see, the reason he had so many lamps was that he loved to have his castle light and bright. He also thought lamps were very beautiful. One day as he was walking down the market, he saw the most wonderful lamp he had ever seen. After he had brought it home, it said to the other lamps, aYou unimportant lamps are nothing com- pared to me. After a while all the other lamps grew tired of this proud lamp, and made a plan to break it, and here it is: They would look so gloomy that their master would move them close to his favourite lamp Cwhich was the proud one? so that they would look brighter in its light. Then they would push it OH' the table on to the floor. They hoped it would break into a million pieces. Finally the master did as planned. They pushed off the proud lamp. It broke. When the master found the broken lamp, he was very sad, but he took some of the top part and made a vase of it. Now all the other lamps were happy but, to their astonishment, it was still proud of being a lovely vase out of reach of the other lamps. Pork II-II A HAPPY DAY I'm skipping along Singing a song, I've been happy All through the day. CHR1si'o1'HER SHARI'-FOI'lll IA - 148 THE ASHBURIAN PLAY HONEY Once upon a time there was a little toy store, which had lots of play money, as well as lots of real money. One day a sleepy clerk, who was not really doing his job well at all, put some play money in the cash register by mistake. The next morning, quite early, a robber came into the store and demanded that the clerk hand over the money in the cash register. What a shock the robber got when he arrived back at his hideout and discovered that he had been fooled! Of course, this made him very annoyed, so the next day he went back to the store to do something about it. But the policemen were more on the job than that salesclerk who had made the mistake, and they were expecting the robber to do just this, and they were waiting for him. Yes, he was taken to court, and the judge would not listen to his plea just because he had stolen play money from a toy shop, so the robber was sent to prison, and what had been a mistake turned out to make people happy after all, except the robber.

MICHAEL Howns-Form IB THE .4sH1sL'R1.-1.v H, A TRIP TO C.-XIRU Christmas, 1958 Stewart tmy brother in IIIAJ and l w ent to Cairo for the holidays to see our new home there. Not the least exciting part of the trip was getting there, first by jet from Nlontreal to London, and then another jet from London to Cairo. Probably we are the first Ashbury boys to fly in the jet-age, and that is quite a distinction. There was great excitement the day we went on our first visit to our Sister, who is at school in England, so you can just imagine what it was like when we drove to the house, which is a lovely place in the residential part of Cairo. It is next door to another limhassy, so I suppose that is why it seemed so quiet. The second day I was there I was taken to see the camels carrying loads of grass. They look so dignified, with their heads held high, but oh dear, how they smell! Included in this day's activities was the naming of our new cat, quite a ceremony. There was great excitement the day we went on our first visit to the Sphinx and the pyramids. I hear from the boys in Transitus that we learn all about these interesting monuments in our History course, so that will be one part of the year's work which will come easily to me. The picnic to the desert on another day was a highlight too. WVe rode five miles out into the desert and there found a tent already set up for the picnic. Gne of the other children at the picnic decided to jump on one of the horses, and in his efforts to make it trot, the horse became annoyed, and raced off towards the road, headlong into a truck. Luckily, the horse had enough sense of self-preservation to stop short of the truck, and thus a serious accident was avoided. The following day we set out to climb a pyramid, but the misera- ble guide said I was too young. Ridiculous nonsense! But I never did get to climb that pyramid. It can wait for another year. I expect my father will be Canadian Ambassador to the United Arabic Republic for quite a while yet. One day my mother took me to the Egyptian market, and this I found fascinating indeed. I spent a lot of time looking around, and eventually drove a hard bargain for an alabaster sphinx. Our trip back to Ashbury was made interesting by two events. Our sister came with us as far as London, and we were escorted from Cairo to London by the Turkish Ambassador, who was a very in- teresting man, and he certainly helped the time to pass quickly. XYe look forward to our return to Cairo after Closing, and perhaps we will have some more interesting things to write an essay about.
