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.
