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 .- ..
