I.E1icH 10 THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIAL Among the many sunny statements made from the platform on Closing Day Qannouncements of accomplishments in the year just past, and favour- able auguries of things to comej, one of the most warming was implicit in the remarks of the Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence announced that the building programme was again afoot - an extension to the physics laboratory. This is good news indeed, as our present lab, though one of the most modern and best equipped school labs in Ontario, has been pronounced inadequate in space for the demands that are likely to be made on its capacity. Plans are already in blueprint for its extension to twice the present size, and we have every hope that it will be ready to function at the beginning of the Fall term. These are times of copious expansion and lavish expenditures. A number of the Independent Schools of Ontario have recently succeeded in raising substantial sums for additions to their plants, and it is gratifying to feel that we, too, are on the springboard. It is perhaps indicated that this enterprise marks only the Hrst of many progressive vaults. XVe learn, for instance, that another project under consideration is the acquisition of an artihcial ice rink. Hockey practices in rented rinks at some distance from the school are expensive in transportation and wasteful in time. It would be of tremendous advantage to our hockey players did we own, in whole or in part, a rink that was conveniently accessible for our daily use. Our present library represents another deciency which will, we feel sure, be presently remedied. As it stands it is completely inadequate, but Stage 3 of Argyle Building Plans will include space for a replacement in this vital department of educational development. In speaking of Argyle, it is interesting to reflect that as a result of the enterprise and confidence of the Headmaster and Board of Governors this building was one of the Hrst post war constructions added in any of the Ontario Independant Schools, and was erected at a time when contribution funds were particularly hard to come by. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that in the intervening years tremendous sums Qabout 8 million dollarsy have been collected by these other schols and have been mainly applied to build- ing projects. That is why we say, with gratitude to those responsible, we are delighted to surmise that we are once more on the march toward badly needed additions and improvements to the plant. i But-the old and ugly question rears its head: XVhere is the money coming from? ln answer to this question we feel confident that when the Master Plan of building and improvement is developed and presented to Old Boys, friends and parents of Ashbury, the necessary funds will be forthcoming. The years 1966 will mark the 75th anniversary of Ashbury. Let us work toward making it a tremendous year in the history of our school. THE ASHBURIAN Il SCHOCDL NOTES OPENING DAY September 7th, 1961 marked the beginning of Ashburv's seventv- Hrst year. About two hundred and seventy boys were present for the Headmaster's opening remarks. Mr. Perrv welcomed old and new boys to the school, and remarked on the beaming health of all. lle went on to remind us that Ashbury, representing a very important stage in our lives, was certainly fun most of the time, but was primarily in existence to prepare us for university. During the year, Mr. Perry said, we should always keep our goals clearly in sight, 'and work diligently toward them. On Friday, September 9th, Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence, Chairman of the Board of Governors, visited the school, and addressed us in Argyle. Mr. Lawrence, by means of his easy and friendly manner, immediately established himself as a popular chairman. His popularity was enhanced still more when he asked Mr. Perry to grant us a half holiday. XYith the opening proceedings completed, books were amassed, classes settled, and the year began. STAFF CHANGES At the beginning of the school year, the following new members joined the staff: Messrs. L. Black, M.A., M. Gerrie, B.Sc., S. M. Daratha, Saskatoon Teachers' College, A. de K. Varent, B.A., B.l ,d., M. Beique, B.A., R. L. Lancaster, B.Sc., M. B. XYansborough, B.A. At the end of the school year, we shall be losing the services of Mr. M. Gerrie, who is planning to study for the profession of medicine at McGill, and Mr. C. Hughes, who will be teaching at Smith's Falls. We wish them both 'all the best'. HEALTH This year there were no epidemics at the school, thanks to the work of Dr. Rowan-Legg, School Physician and Miss M. Bray, School Nurse. Although there were periodic minor illnesses and several unfortunate sports injuries, it is safe to say that 1961-02 was an excellent year in the way of health. XYFDDINGS On Saturday, September Znd at City View United Church, the wedding was solemnized between lrene XYoodburn and Charles Porter XYright. Miss KYoodburn has been teaching piano and musfc appreciation at Ashbury for eighteen years and is one of Uttawa's most accomplished concert pianists. Mr. XYright holds an executive position with the C. B. C. 12 THE ASI-IBURIAN 3 1 ,Q ,ff 1 , fag: x . SENIOR COMMON ROON ilil 1 This school year, 1961-1962, has been one of marked improvement in the facilities and organization of the Upper School Common Room. ln September, it appeared that the Common Room would carry on, as in the PLISI, in a state of smokey chaos. This however, was not the ease. Early in the year, Mr. Snelgrove stepped in as staff advisor to the members, and the astounding change in the Common Room's layout since then has been a continual source of amazement to all visiting Old Boys. Through the co-operation of the school and its organizations, particularly the Mother's Guild, which made a generous donation, the Common Room Committee has been able to obtain a console T.V., a large handsome rug, an easy chair, and a large couch. Besides these, many other sundries such as a clock, lamps and modern ashtrays have been added. VYith careful arrangement and the addition of many colourful pennants, we have been able to reside quite comfortably this year. However, we hope that this is just the beginning. A handsome, modern Upper School Common Room, one in which comfort is no problem, could do a great deal to stimulate the student attitude towards school. Classrooms are places for work and not relaxation, but a Common Room is specifically for relaxation. lt is hoped that, with this year's improvements as a beginning on which to work, the student members of the Ashbury College Upper School Common Room will be able to carry on the refinements. Such things as wall panelling and a proper notice board are example objectives for the future. THE ASHBURIAN I3 GIFTS The school acknowledges with gratitude the following gifts: Two framed drawings from the graduating class of l96l. The drawings are by the artist, Hawston-one representing an Iceberg and the other a group of Llskimo figures. A rose bowl and two candle-sticks in memory of Florence Hain- bridge, from her daughter, Nlrs. Audrey Foster. I A number of library books donated bv the Carr-l larris boys. An annual prize in memory of Robert Gerald Xloore, to be awarded for Grade 12 English, arranged through the Xlothers' Guild. A portrait of the Headmaster, painted by Robert llyndman, a gift from the artist. The H. S. Southam Scholarship-a gift of Nlrs. D. K. XlacTavish, Mrs. F. H. Toller, Nlr. G. T. Southam and Nlrs. R. XY. Southam in memory of their father. ACKNOXYLEDGENILINTS The following organizations have expressed their thanks for the use of Ashbury College and its facilities for a variety of functions during the past year. The Royal Commonwealth Society. The Ottawa Humane Society. The English-speaking Union The External Affairs Wives' Association The Canadian Save the Children Fund. The Public School Athletic Association. THE RETROSPECTS In addition to the usual fare of movies and parties this year, we were treated to unusual entertainment in the harmonious arts through the formation of a new singing group. On Klarch 2, G. P. Haslam, D. A. Steven and E. H. Stewart were in a taxi on their way to an ex- ternal examination in Ottawa. To raise their Hagging spirits, Steven struck up a few chords on a guitar with which he happened to be equipped at the time, three voices were raised in harmony, and The Retrospects were born. Three weeks later B. J. Nlerrett replaced Stewart, as the former provided a welcome banjo accompaniment to supplement Steven's guftar and Haslam's bongos. On the 27th of the month the group played in the Argyle Auditor- ium before an enthusiastic and appreciative audience of their school- fellows. This reception was most encouraging as such an audience mfght well have been critical and derisive. It was just the opposite. Cn Easter Day the group, whose members live in Xlontreal. played over CKVL radio from the Veterans' Hospital. later at a Parents' Re- H THE ASHBURIAN ception here at the school, and again at another end of term get- togetherv on june Sth. The summer holds great prospects for The Retrospectsg an audition tape at CKOY on june 30th seems the most important at the moment. We would like to express our appreciation and good wishes to a venture that is interesting, entertaining and worthwhile. MOTHERS' GUILD Hon. President, Klrs. R. H. Perryg President, Mrs. D. G.

The Mothers' Guild has had an energetic and successful year. liight meetings were held altogether, two of these being in the eveningg these last proved to be popular with members unable to come in the afternoon. Xlr. Perry, Nlr. Polk, and Klr. Anderson each gave the Guild interesting talks on various aspects of Ashbury life. Amongst the Guild's activities were the Annual Clothing Sale, the catering for the Old Boys' Luncheon in the fall term, and the Spring Tea and Bake Sale held early in Nlay. The resulting increase in funds made it possible for the Guild to give to the junior School a ping-pong table, ro the Senior Common Room furnishings. to the Library a donation for new hooks, and to the School Bursary Fund a sizeable sum. The School wishes to express its grateful thanks to these ladies for their strenuous and successful labours in the interests of the School.

ELNIXYGOD During the past few years we have been honoured with an increas- ing attendance of the young ladies from Elmwood at the Sunday morn- ing Services. We sincerely hope this will continue. Klany thanks to the Headmistress, Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. Blythe for permitting this very pleasant arrangement. CANDLELIGHT SERVICE The annual candlelight service just before the Christmas holidays was better than ever. On Sunday, February eleventh, the School went to Christ Church Cathedral for morning service and the Chapel Choir was integrated into the Cathedral Choir. The Service was sung by our head server, Peter Gillean. The les- sons were read by Lynn and Pottinger, Nlulaner was the Crucifer. SERVERS The Servers' Guild have continued their tradition of loval and devoted service. Almost every form in the Senior School was repre- sented and one from the junior School. There were two Servers' services at which the Servers conducted the entire service of Klatins with the exception of the Absolution and Benediction, which were pronounced by the Chaplain. At the first service Dickson preached about Growing up . At the second service Pottinger preached. His topic was Two Kinds of People. Some of the Servers have also assisted at the churches in Ottawa. Giilean, Pottinger, and Snelgrove accompanied the Chaplain to St. George's Church. Pottinger preached at St. Bartholomew's Church and at St. Klar- ga1'et's in Eastview. All have done well on all occasions. The Chapel Gfferings are now being used to maintain two Zulu boys at St. Christopher's School in Swaziland. South Africa. 20 THE ASHBURIAN This is a church-school dedicated to giving Zulu boys the oppor- tunitv to have a modern education. Promising boys are seen on to Univiersity. Hundreds of African boys anxiously hope to get in to St. Christo- pher's, and the Sxvaze and British Governments are offering to match the Church dollar for dollar in carrying on the School. The students at St. Christopher's and their families are unbelievably poor by Canadian standards. XVith help from the outside world this school can bridge the gulf between the primitive background of their young people and the modern civilisation inevitably opening to them. We hope to keep in touch with the two bovs we are sponsoring. GENERAL A large number of boys and staff assist in one way or another in the chapel programme. Special mention should be made to the faithful service of the organists, Mrs. H. S. Dalton, Mr. Sibley, and Mr. Snel- gI'OVC. The choir mothers, Mrs. Thurston, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Neatbv have done an outstanding job of keeping the choir neat, clean, and pre- sentable. The Chapel Clerks, Letch, Lynn, and Blackburn have been loyal and efficient 'gdoorkeepersw in the House of the Lord. Well done thou good and faithful servants.

ROBERT G ERALIJ NIOORI1 In january of this vear the school was shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Robert Xloore, aged 22 vears. Bob was with us at Ashburv from 1952 to 1959, when he gradu- ated froni Grade XIII to the Faculty of Arts at XIcGill Univers- itv. I At School, his quiet, unassuming manner endeared him to all. He was conscientious without being smug. efficient but never ofiicious. grave but not solemn. artistic without afiectation. In his final vear he conceived a keen interest in the theatre, where he not onlv performed on stage. but wrote a one-act plav which showed considerable promise. He graduated with the rank of prefect. By his third vear in Honours Ifnglish at .XIcGill he had pur- sued and developed his interest in the drama and in creative writing and according to the .XIcGill Daily, gave a stellar per- formance in The Red and White Revuef to which he also con- tributed some ofthe lvrics as well as publishing some prose works in The Forge . The success of his academic career at L'niversitv amph' ful- filled the promise of his davs at School, and his untimely death was a great loss-not onlv to familv and friends. but to the cul- tural potential of Canada. Xie extend our heartfelt svmpathv to his parents. Xlr. and Nlrs. R. Xloore of Ottawa. and to his brother, Grant. 22 THE ASHBURIAN SCIENCE TOURS 1. Natiolml Research Council Tom' On Nlarch Sth. a group of Students left Ashbury in taxis and a few minutes later arrived at the N. R. C. Laboratories on the Alontreal Road. We were met at the gate by Mr. M. K. Hard, who gave us each a programme of the things we would see. Our first visit was to the Division of Building Research, where we were shown around by M r. C. R. Crocker. He first explained what this division does and then proceeded to show us some of the many projects befng undertaken. These included work on soil problems in the Arctic and those specific to Ottawa, the testing of structures in an im- mense laboratory, capable of containing a full size two storey house, and the observation of frost on windows in rooms where temperature and humidity could be completely controlled. VVe then went to the Low Speed Aerodynamics Laboratory under the direction of Mr. P. Pocock. This gentleman showed us the hori- zontal and vertical wind tunnels used for testing conventional and verti- cal take-off and landing aircraft at sub-sonic speeds. Of particular in- terest was a fascinating tunnel in which water was used instead of air. Our next stop was the Division of Applied Chemistry where Mr. G. A. Young took us around. Many interesting experiments were seen here. These were: the separation of solutions by filtering through membranes, bubbling a gas through a solid to make it behave like a liquid, the settling of slurries, or mixtures of a solid and a liquid, speeded up by tilting and analysis of substances by their spectra. Our Tour of the Montreal Road Laboratories over, we were trans- ferred to the Sussex Drive Building by N. R. C. vehicle. Dr. john R. Kohr met us on arrival and we were shown the extensive library of the Council. After this a most excellent lunch was provided for us. After lunch, and a period to rest our legs, we started off again. Dr. S. F. Henderson talked to us about new standards for weights and measures. lle then showed us some of the complicated and ingenious apparatus used by the N. R. C. in establishing and employing these standards. Of a less scientific, but no less interesting nature, was a wefgh scale for use on the rolling pitching deck of a ship. We moved on to the Division of Pure Physics and Dr. C. B. Nlclliarmid. lle showed us devices for measuring cosmic rays and other particles which strike the earth's atmosphere. This equipment was part of that to be sent up in an all Canadian Satellite and was fan- tastically small to enable it to fit in a confined space. Nluch bigger but equally complex, were the devices used to compute and tabulate the information relayed from the instruments as they orbited the earth. THE ASHBUR1.-IN 3, The last Division visited was that of Applied Biology, where Dr. D. C. Mortimer explained to us the use of radio-activity in tracing the movement of substances in plants. We were also shown the green- house where plants are raised for the experiments. The principal feature of this green-house was a room where temperature, light and humidity are automatically controlled. F The Tour over, we returned to Ashbury by taxi, completing a most educational and interesting day. I i F Those on the trip were Bow, Fkes, Grecnstone, Lynn I, Nlartin, Menzies, Nlillard, Parker I, Tyler and your scribe, Brown I. Our thanks goes out to Nlr. Sibley, who was responsible for this excellent visit. Il. Biology Trip To The Department of I-1gricult1n'e On the morning of Nlarch Znd, Gill Pottinger, Flood, Steven, Haslam and Mr. Sibley, in short the Upper Vlth Biology Class, sallied forth to the K. XY. Nearby Building on Carling Avenue to view the proceedings at the Department of Agriculture. Having arrived in two groups, and at two different doors, we were reunited and began the Tour under the guidance of Xlr. Bellelieur. First stop was the Scientific Modelling Department, where scale models of animals, insects and plants are made for public display. Par- ticularly interesting to us was a model of the life cycle of a june bug, which incited memories of the Fall Term and wishes like if only we had one of those . From Scientific Modelling, the Tour moved to Plant Pathology, where we were lectured on various experiments concerning plant diseases and inspected same through complicated high quality micro- scopes. So that we should not go away empty-handed, the Information Department provided each of us with booklets about farming and plant diseases, notably apple scab and wheat rust. After seeing the printing and mailing rooms, we adjourned upstairs to the Entomology Depart- ment, and cabinet upon cabinet full of insects. There, we were shown numerous types of Diptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera and told met- hods of identification. habits and other salient facts. This ended an interesting Tour and a full morning. Our thanks to the Personnel at the Department of Agriculture, Messrs. Gill and Pottinger, the chauffeurs and Nlr. Sibley, who made the Trip possible. III. The Chalk River Sciellce Tour On Friday, May llth, ten suidents, accompanied by Nlr. Sibley and Mr. Harland, left for the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited estab- 2-I THE ASHBURIAN lishment at Chalk River. Cpon arriving at about ten-thirty, we were immediately rushed to the Lecture Room to meet Dr. David A. Keys, the Scientific Advisor to the President. Here we heard a fascinating lecture with slides and demonstrations. VVe emerged from the building an hour later thoroughly enlightened on the subjects of nuclear fission, radioactive substances, and atomic research with all its peace time uses. Our next stops were the models room, where we were shown cut- away scale models of both NRX and NRU reactors, and the testing centre, where radioactive materials are examined through lead boro- silicate glass thirty-six inches thick, and handled with mechanical arms. After lunch we visited the huge NRX reactor. This amazing structure was built in 1949, and at that time was the only one of its kind in the world. Although it has a potential of 40,000 kilowatts, it is used solely for research by supplying the neutron bombardment necessary to produce radioactive isotopes. It is powered by a large number of long uranium rods sheathed in aluminum and immersed in heavy water. Ordinary river water is passed through the rods to keep the temperature at a safe level. The newer and more powerful NRU reactor, built in 1958, and having a potential of 200,000 kilowatts, was our final stop. It differs from the NRX reactor in that a closed heavy water circuit is used to cool the fuel rods, thus eliminating the danger of polluting the river water with radioactivity. Also, the exhausted fuel rods can be re- placed without shutting down the reactor, saving both time and money. In closing, a special word of thanks should be extended to our guide, the unflinching target of our numerous queries throughout the day, Dr. Keys for his inspirational lecture, and to Mr. Sibley who made the enjoyable and instructive trip possible. Those taking the tour were: Iiwing, Parker I, Tyler I, Brown I, Bow, Millard, Chaplin, Mar- tin, XVhipps, and your reporter, Coristine I. IV. .lliscellalleous Beside the above trips, a group of students from Grades 12 and 13 attended the Chemical Institute of Canada Student night in November, where Dr. K. Laid.er gave a lecture on Molecules and Living Things . His talk was concerned with what may be called physical biochemistry. and was well illustrated by fine demonstrations. A number of students also attended the series of Science Lectures given at the University of Ottawa during the XVinter Term. XYe have just had word that two of our students, Brown I and Bow, have won Student Assistantships at Ottawa University this summer. XYe are pleased. THE ASHBURIAN 29 COMMONWEALTH YOUTH MOVEMENT A deafening blast from the steam whistle resounded in my ears. Far below, in the bowels of the ship, the massive engines grumbled into motion. XVith a mounting sense of excitement I realized our de- parture was imminent. The passengers, trying vainly not to betray their excitement, crammed the dockside rail three deep, and waved frantically to friends on the quay. Out of nowhere streamers appeared, and soon a jungle-like tangle, red, blue, yellow, every colour of the rainbow, festooned the ship's side. Two squat, snub-nosed tugs churned and butted the huge ship into the swift-running channel. Friends on the quay grew smaller and smaller, and faded into an in- distinct line of waving hands. Our holiday had started. However, I was not sailing for a standard guide book tour of Europe. I was fortunate enough to be selected a member of the Can- adian contingent of the Commonwealth Youth Movement Quest of 1961. The C. Y. XI. is dedicated to the ideals of peace, brotherhood, and understanding. Through its annual Quest, students from the far- Hung lands of the Commonwealth are brought together for a summer, and by sharing the common experience of seeing Europe together, they forge a bond of brotherhood and understanding. Last summer I lived with boys and girls whose skin was not the same colour as mine, whose religions were unknown to me, whose homes were foreign to me. I came to know, understand, and respect the hopes and ideals of people so different from me. I returned home with many of my preconceived ideas and prejudices washed from my mind. Our group hailed from fourteen Commonwealth and two non- Commonwealth countries: Aden, Basutoland, Bechuanaland, Belgium, Canada, the Falkland Islands, Fiji, Germany, Gibralter, India, Klalaya, Mauritius, Northern Rhodesia. Swaziland, the United Kingdom. and Pakistan. The Canadian contingent had gathered in Ottawa on july -Ifth. VVe were entertained at a reception at Government House, and it was a real pleasure to have the opportunity of meeting so gracious a couple as Governor-General Vanier and his wife. XYe also spent a very con- vivial afternoon with Sir Saville and Lady Garner at the British High Commissioners residence, Earnseliffe. TYhile touring the Parliament Buildings, we were introduced to Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Canada certainly accorded us a tremendous send-off to a memorable summer! We sailed on july 6th from Montreal, aboard the Empress of Canada . I had no idea of the incredible vastness of the St. Lawrence River until we sailed down it for two days. On the third morning. I awoke at sea. Nhat an exhilarating sensation it is to stand at the stern of the ship on the gently rolling deck and breathe the salty ocean air? 26 THE ASHBURIAN The frothing wake of the ship curled through the blue water like a writhing white snake, all the way to the horizon, hazy in the distance. I leaned over the rail and saw the water slipping swiftly by the ship's sides. like dark green marble mottled with flecks of white foam. Be- hind is Canada, ahead is England. We docked at Liverpool at 10.30 p.m. The next morning, after the excited confusion of identifying our luggage in the noisy custom's shed, we met the rest of our group. A bus was waiting for us and we set off to XYorcester via the lovely old town of Chester, with its gabled and half-timbered Tudor houses and its Roman wall. In Worcester, we stayed in private homes, and this unique feature of the C. Y. M. was followed in all the other cities we visited. Personally, I found this feature one of the most rewarding aspects of the trip, because it gave me the opportunity of meeting families which, as a tourist, I would never have met. King john is buried in Vllorcester Cathedral, and we visited his tomb. lYhen he died, he ordered that he be buried between the two saints whose bones lie beneath the floor of the Cathedral. In this way, he hoped to slip into heaven between the two saints when St. Peter wasn't looking. London was next on our itinerary. Our bus sped along the M. 1, and London was waiting for us that night with all its lights ablaze. During our week here, few of the famous and historic landmarks es- caped our scrutiny. The Tower of London, St. Paul's, the Houses of Parliament, and the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace were all carefully inspected. The day we took the boat train for Paris, the sun was shining, and the cliffs of Dover sparkled white as we crossed the Channel. The City of Light was, for me, the high point of the trip. Like all the tourists who come to Paris, I rode to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and stood spellbound before the breathtaking panorama of the most beauti- ful city in the world, spread out at my feet. The Seine glided white and blue under its bridges, and there, on an island of green, were the twin, square-topped towers of Notre Dame. To the left of the river the Arc de Triomphe, looking like the hub of a wheel which had as spokes, broad tree-lined boulevards. And off in the distance, on a hill behind Montmartre, stood Sacre Coeur, white like a jewel in the sun- light. Our four days in Paris were all to short. From Paris to Brussels, where I stayed at the home of the Belgian boy on our trip. The two things I remember best are the Grand Place de Brusselles, with its medieval Guild Halls, and the famous statue of the little boy. After four days in Brussels, we spent three days in Ypres, the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the First lYorld VVar. llere, in St. Georges .Nlemorial Chapel, the Quest held its annual vigil. From Ypres, we drove through the picturesque Belgian country- side to Ostend. crossed the Channel, and headed for Scotland. Our THE ASHBURI.-IN 1 final two weeks were spent in private homes throughout Scotland. I shall never forget the magnificent hospitality of the people who made our visit so enjoyable. In Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh, and on a ggantic sheep farm in Galloway, I was entertained royally. The last night of our trip. we saw the Tatoo in Edinburgh Castle. The next day, with the skirl of the bagpipes in our ears. we sailed for home. I. Ifwixo - KVI DEBATING A renewed interest in debating this year resulted in a record twenty-two debates for the team, of which 1+ were won, and 8 lost. It is interesting to note that the Debating Team had more fixtures than any other school team, a fact which by itself points to a Renaissance in what debators call The Superior Sport . The season opened in October, when Steven and Haslam journeyed to Perth and argued the negative of the topic, Resolved: That the VVest should abandon Berlin . Ashbury won by the score of H5-72. For the first time, Ashbury sent four debators. Haslam. Ewing. Greenstone and Lash, to the NIcGill High School Debating Tourna- ment, from which we emerged a creditable fifth, with tive wins and three losses. Haslam was third out of ninety-six debators in the in- dividual rankings. U Greenstone and Lash defeated Perth, this time at Ashbury, as a warm-up for the International Speech Festival. At the Festival, held in Toronto, stiff competition and hard luck rent us asunder, and we returned home with only one win to show for six starts. In the English Schools Debating Tournament at Ottawa University. however, it was a different story. The team, this time consisting of Haslam, Ewing, Steven and Menzies, emerged in fourth place with four wins and no losses. The final Hxtures of the year were part of the Independent Schools Debating Tournament, contested annually between L.C.C., B.C.S., Stanstead and Ashbury. Haslam and Ewing narrowly defeated L.C.C., and the team, this time consisting of Haslam and Menzies, journeyed to L.C.C. to take on Stanstead College. After an exciting debate. we emerged the happy victors. This year's team, the most successful on record, wishes to thank the person who made it all possible, Xlr. I. H. Spencer.

Barber, speaking on the Battle on the Plains of Abraham in an intimate, appealing style, made it obvious that he had spent considerable time on research for his topic. It was unfortunate that his nervous gestures and the inadequate handling of his notes detracted from his speech but these faults will doubtless be cured by experience. His use of a little humour, cleverly introduced into such a serious topic, was most effective and he was given the award over the only other contestant in the class - Lash. Lash, speaking extemporaneously, was the other contestant. He chose a difficult, prejudical topic, Problems of the Xlodern jew in North America . Gerry Haslam opened the senior section with an inspired attack on jingoists. Bellicose patriots who preach peace while preparing for war at excessive speed were the particular target of Gerry's remarks. His criticism of the C. B. C. series Canada at VVar , and the thought- less acceptance of many viewers of these programmes, was handled in a particularly masterly manner, and the long applause at the end was indicative of the impression the speaker had made on his audience. Menzies' questionfanswer style showed evidence of intensive pre- paration. His topic, Political Objections to Britain's Entry into the Common Market . One could not help feeling that the Common- wealth was in jeopardy after listening to this speaker. In a difficult decision, the judge, Mr. Ian Spencer, gave the award to Haslam.

Again we were fortunate in securing the services of Professor George B. Johnston of the English Department of Carleton University to adjudicate the readings and we thank him for so often giving us the benefit of his talent and experience on these occasions. As is customary, the contestants were divided into three categories - junior, Intermediate, and Senior Schools. Each was required to read three pieces - a 'set', a 'sight', and a passage of the individuals own choosing. The passages read were: 'Set' pieces - Izmiorsz The Road Not Taken - Frost 1lIf67'7lI6dI41l'C.S'2 Selection from c'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Coleridge Sevziorsz Selection from c'Seascape - Young 'Sight' pieces - Izmiorsz Fear No More the Heat 0' the Sun - Shakespeare Iiztervlzediatesz The F og - IV. Davies Seniors: Say Not the Struggle Naught Availethn - Clough The winners - Imziorsz Read Ilztewlledintesz Burritt Seniors: Stewart I Before selecting the winners Professor Johnston carefully and most informatively analysed the performance of each reader as well as express- ing in general terms his own views on the reading of verse. He, how- ever, prefaced this last by the warning that there were of course, many different critical schools of thought on the subject. Ile was particularly interested in the various selections made by the individual readers as signihcant of taste and attitude. Having named the winners and given detailed reasons for his nominations, he par- ticularly commended Nlcnzies for his reading of G. K. Chesterton's The Donkey . This he characterized as probably the most moving performance of the afternoon. The competitors were as follows: lmliors: McNair II, Cook, NIcAuley, Read, Deacon llIfC'I'7llL'lfIzTfl35'Z liurritt, Lash .S'e11io1's: Stewart I, Campbell I, Ilwing, Menzies THE ASHBURI.-IN 31 HEADMASTERS' CONFERENCE For the first time in its history the lleadmasters' Annual Conference was held in Vancouver, at St. Georges School. President john l larker, the Headmaster, was host during the Meetings. Headmasters from the lfast flew to Vancouver in early April to be greeted by bright sunshine and gardens in early flower. liven the natives were amazed at the perfect weather, but pretended that this was normal for British Columbia. In addition to a number of business meetings the Headmasters spent a day at the University of B. C., where Dr. N. A. Nl. Nlaclienzie, Presi- dent of the University, entertained us in the new Faculty Club. VVe toured the campus and were much impressed by the magnificence of the site, the very modern architecture and the stupendous growth of the student population - now numbering 14,700. In the afternoon the University arranged a series of lectures featuring prominent speakers both from the University and City. Mr. Harker had arranged with the Canadian Navy to take us to Victoria Island on H. M. C. S. Skeena. This was a delightful experi- ence for all of us. The day was perfect and the weather calm. The Captain and his staff virtually gave us the freedom of the ship, and enabled us to see the electronic intricacies of one of the worlds great naval vessels. On landing at Esquimalt we visited Royal Roads en route to Uni- versity School Where we attended a dinner for Old Boys from all Private Schools across Canada. Ashbury had one of the largest number of representatives, including: Messrs. Vyner Brooke, Barnett Carswell, Commodore Valentine Godfrey, john Magor, Brigadier XY. C. Thack- ray and Peter Redpath. Gordon Southam, also present, organized the Old Boys' gathering. The following day we visited Shawnigan Lake School, probably the most beautifully located of all, and Brentwood - the old Island School now reorganized after a disastrous Hre some years ago, and lo- cated at Mill Bay on an inlet of the Pacific. Our visit to the YVest Coast was not only a most pleasant affair but gave us the feeling that Private Schools in British Columbia were thriv- ing vigorously. All of them are in great demand and have established an excellent reputation in the Province. This Conference was the final for both Mr. llarker and for Dr. P. A. C. Ketchum of Trinity College School. both of whom are retiring. Eastern Headmasters left Vancouver most appreciative of the splendid Conference arrangements made by Nlr. llarker and for the hospitality expressed in true Ufestern style. 32 THE ASHBURIAN Officers of the Headmasters' Association for next year are Harry Beer, President, Pickering College, Robert Coulter, Vice-President, St. Andrews College and R. H. Perry, Secretary-Treasurer, Ashbury College. ONTARIO MATHEMATICS CONFERENCE TRINITY COLLEGE, Ponr Hope The Conference was preceded by a General Meeting for the elec- tion of Officers and a discussion of the primary aims of the Commission. Following this Professor Lister of Toronto University, gave us a lecture on the teaching of Chemistry in High Schools. He asserted that teach- ing should be given three aims, Q13 The chemical experiment with its associated mathematical calculations, C21 Results discussed, C35 Theory development. He emphasized that students would appreciate chemistry if the lessons were interesting, enjoyable and practical. He thought that facts should be taught, and that it was not for the teacher to try to make students become chemists. As far as the history of chemistry was concerned he felt that this was in the Held of historians rather than Science teachers, mainly because of the lack of time. The second lecture was given by Mr. Zimmerman, O.B.E., Vice Chairman of the Defence Regional Board, Ottawa, who gave as his sub- ject Some aspects in Science in Education bearing in mind the cold war . For the past fifteen years 800 scientists and 3000 other personel have been working on a budget of 332,000,000 for research into the problems of the cold war. The Defense Board maintains a close rela- tionship with the Research Council, Universities, Navy, Air Force and the Army. There are many research problems:-Air defence of North America -Maintaining a defence against submarine attack-Tactics, ground and afr-National survival-Space experiments, radio signals and problems- rockets and balloons-satellites for extended periods with measuring in- struments for use above the ionisphere and in orbit-analysis of complete conditions at altitude of 650 miles. There are signs of an intensification in the cold war-politically, economically, and on the military and scientific fronts. The XYest is forced to seek methods of survival scientifically. This spans from the fact that many men of scientific background have high commands in Russia today, and the only frontier the XVest has against a possible attack is its scholars, teachers, scientists and engineers. THE ASHBURIAN an Mr. Zimmerman advocated Fall Out Shelters, though he doesn't have one. It has been determined that survivors of a Bomb attack could emerge after a period of -I8 hours. Shortly after lunch we were introduced to Mr. Brown, teacher at Lower Canada College, who was to criticise text books. Speaking of algebra he felt that slower pupils should do problems suitable to their ability whilst better pupils proceed at their own speed. Books, in his opinion, were not dirhcult enough, and he thought that students should be given a chance to prove that they could succeed in work previously considered too diiiicult. Mr. Brown then proceeded to illustrate his own methods of teach- ing Grade 9 Algebra. These methods were novel-he mentioned bars and snakes-but followed the modern trend of belittling what he called old fashioned methods. Many of the delegates heartily disapproved of these new ideas whilst a few considered that he was doing a great job. However this new aspect of teaching Mathematics is fast gaining ground and will supersede the older methods so that we shall have to accept new sug- gestions and go along with them. J. AIARLAND AND H. DALTON ENGLISH TEACHERS' CONFERENCE Over sixty English Teachers from fifteen independent schools gathered during the Easter vacation to discuss and exchange ideas of common interest. Ashbury College was represented by Messrs Spencer and XVansbrough. This year Ridley College hosted the conference, and Mr. john Saxton and his colleagues provided a most aimiable and stimulating environment. There were two innovations this year, first that, in keeping with universal emancipation, our female colleagues were welcomed, and secondly, that the constitutionally garrulous were spared from lengthy speeches. Instead, a series of discussion groups were held at the Senior, Middle, and Lower School levels. All seemed to welcome both changes. The major achievement of the conference was to set up a co- ordinator Cfrom St. Andrew'sD to receive, edit, and distribute meritori- ous and stimulating works of English literature not available in text- books. This could be a signiiicant step in continuous exchange of ma- terial and ideas apart from the annual conference, and was unanimously welcomed. In all, the conference was a great success and those present look for- ward to an equally profitable meeting next year. 34 THE ASI-IBURIAN SCHOCDL PLAY ln The Caine Mutiny , produced by Messrs. I. C. Pemberton and Xl. B. XYansbrough, we welcomed the return of the three-act play to .Xshbury. The full-length production had been a traditional school feature, and from the middle forties to the middle fifties was presented jointly by the Ashbury-Elmwood Dramatic Societies, usually at the Ottawa Little Theatre, under the direction of Mr. A. B. Belcher and Mr. R. G. Devine. After the addition of Argyle, with its own little stage, it was found expedient to present several one-act plays with small casts and simple settings. Last year, however, marked an innovation with the performance by the junior School, again in the Little Theatre, of a good, old fashioned pantomime, Cinderella , written, produced and directed by Mr. B. R. Beetensen and sponsored by the Mothers' Guild. This ambitious effort was a hilarious success and rewarded with well deserved acclaim. And now, on March 8th, came The Caine Mutinyn, under the direction of Messrs. Pemberton and Vffansbrough, on the Argyle stage and again sponsored by the Mothers' Guild. This piece was a fine choice, as it not only provided excellent entertainment potential but required a large all-male east, a relatively small group of actors on stage at any one time, a simple setting, and a minimum of stage movement. The performance was admirable, Bethune, as prosecutor, Lash as defense counsel, and Logie as chief witness for the prosecution, carried impressively Cand almost unhesitatinglyj their long and exacting roles, Dickson, as defendant, was adequately phlegmatic, Harvey Stewart, as the officer presiding, stern and uncompromisingly judicial, Campbell, as a senior naval officer on the stand, was appropriately testy, while Brady and Smethurst as medical officers gave convincingly cryptic evidence. As an ill-educated but unabashed signalman, Gillean Il put over some of the best laugh lines in the piece, while Martin, as a junior officer on the witness stand, contributed a brief but really excellent performance in both vocal and facial expression. The four members of the court -- Davis, Heggtveit, McGaughey and Mosher - constituted a dignified and magisterial group, and Boyd ll, the orderly stationed at the door was truly statuesque, and due to Snelgrove's clever light effects, threw a classic silhouette upon the wall at his back. The play was full of the human interest and dramatic value that one associates with most well written courtroom situations. The story was that of the court-martial of a junior naval reserve officer who formally and forcibly assumes command of the U.S.S. Caine while that destroyer- minesweeper is engaged in operations during a storm in the Pacific. This he did on the grounds that his commander was needlessly jeopardiz- 'I' H H .-I S H If L' R I .-I X i X ... fin, ,, , of vfa4f': 'inaf ',, iii 'svo1f '.

The verdict hung on evidence which would show whether or not his action was justified bv the situation, and was given in favour of the defendent. The major dramatic interest lay in the inner confiict of the officer who had been appointed as defense council while ethically obliged to do his utmost to secure an acquittal for his client. he felt morally guilty in attempting to condemn Qbv implication! a tvpe of permanent naval officer who has so lovallv and capablv buttressed the United States in the early stages of the war.

SCHOOL DANCE On April 14th a record crowd of students and friends attended the largest school function of the year. The guests were met by Klr. and Mrs. Perry, Allan Gill, Nancy Smallian, lan Speedie, and Joanne Edwards. For the past years the Prefects have chosen to hold the annual dance at some centre completely separate from the schoolg hoxv- ever, this year the Dance Committee decided to take advantage of Ash- bury's own facilities by converting the Argyle recreation hall into a beautifully decorated Parisian ballroom. The theme, naturally enough, was 'April in Paris'. lan Speedle, the convener and inaster-of-ceremonies of the dance. was responsible for engaging the Beau-Marks , the fabulous band which enabled all those present to twist until the wee hours of the morn- ing. For the first time in the school's dance history. a committee was formed to take care of all the arrangements from entertainment to decor- ations. Thfs group of six boys, lan Speedie, Bob Dickson, Nlike Cope- land, Tim Coristine, john Booth, and Peter Gillean xvcrc the backbone behind the tremendous success the affair proved to bc for young and old alQke. lt was indeed a sad moment when the band packed up and the students departed for the traditional breakfast parties, ending an evening which will be remembered by all for some time to come.

CADET INSPECTION Each year as Inspection time rolls around we fervently hope that the weather will stay Hue for us. This year it really excelled itself, for not only was the sun shining brightly but a cooling breeze allowed the cadets to stay relaxed during their ordeal. This fact was evident when not one cadet collapsed from heat or strain and this in itself is unusual. The Inspecting Officer this year was Maj.-General Sparling, an old friend of the school. After inspecting the Honour Guard and being introduced to the Instructional Staff he inspected the corps. He quick- ly put the Ofhcers and Cadets at ease with his friendly comments during the inspection. The inspection over, Cadet Major Oxley took the corps through the ceremonial drill as they marched past in column of platoons and then in column of route. This was followed by the advance in review order and the General Salute. After marching off the flag the corps moved to the lower field to prepare for squad demonstrations. The first demonstration was by the school band led by CfSgt. Flam and instructed by Mr. Nl. B. XYansbrough. They played lively and , E: lg? .-.,w.-M--v . ,F , Q.

Next came the Mock Battle which took place beside Rockcliffe Park Public School and incorporated the skills of Rifle, First Aid and Signals squads learned during the cadet training. Following the Mock Battle a pare- cision drill squad under CfCapt. Speedie gave a fine display of timing with intrieite drill movements. Finally, the Senior Gym team, in- structed by Lt. R. Anderson, put on their usual skillful performance of Box-work and Parallel Bars. The junior School also gave an assist to the proceedings with a midget Nlarch Past and junior Gym Squad under the direction of Xlr. Nl. Gerrie. These were both extremely well carried out. At the end of the days proceedings Gen. Sparling complimented the cadets on their line showing and presented the awards for outstand- ing contribution in the various phases of cadet work.

As such, it was felt hy the experts that the team would have a fair season. For once, these experts were right, as the team won two, lost three and tied one. The opening game of the season, against Arnprior lligh School. saw us in fine spirits, but these spirits were soon dampened when Bob Berry was ousted from the game on a penalty, and the opposition pulled ahead.

The game, made more interesting by the presence of cheerleaders supplied by both sides, was close for the Hrst three quarters, then john Rennie scored two quick TD's to put the lid on . Another touchdown by our opponents wrapped up a victory in their favour, and the record still showed no wins for the green machine . Stanstead, however, represented the Hip-side of the coin. In a game played at L. C. C., Ashbury had three TD's called back, but still rolled to a 39-0 victory over a spirited but ineffective Stanstead squad. All waited for Bishops, looking forward to winning that trophy for the ninth consecutive year. THE ASHBURIAN 4? XVe did not win. XYC were beaten 7-6, and the score indicates the type of game played. No excuses are offered, so let no more he said. Northwood and Ashhury tangled again, with the score again exactly indicative of the play. XYe were dead tired after tying a great Northwood team, on and off the field. The final fixture of the year featured those redouhtahle Old Boys. reinforced by certain members of the staff. The results were intrest- ing, to say the least. The school managed to win, 21-I+, capping a different season. The team, though lacking polish on several occasions. and failing slightly in the spirit department when the chips were down, was a good one. The fact that we lost to Bishops indicates that we were perhaps not as good as teams in previous years, but the fact that we tied North- wood points out that Ashhury can, and does, rise to the occasion. Our sincere thanks to C. B. Tiny llermann, tl. L. Black, and Nl. B. 1Yansborough for their helpful and spirited coaciing, without it there could have been no team.

Touchdowns were our stumbling block in the next three games, where we failed to score a point. Try as we might, the effort was insufficient and the scores showed. The blocking was better, but not vet good enough to enable the backhelders to navigate round the ends successfully. In the game against B.C.S., it was quite a different story. Keffer, l lunt and Cowan, supported by Hne blocking, for a change, ran rampant over a spirited Bishops team. The score, 26-1, fully indicates the extent of the renaissance. But, alas, it did not last. Against St. Pius X for the second time, we came close, but could not score a touchdown. The season was over, and the team could claim but one ray of light in a Held of darkness. VVe made the most of that one win, you can be sure. The team expresses its thanks to Mr. Gerrie and Mike Spencer for their painstaking efforts to make the second football team play as a team. In the one game when we played as a unit, their work, we hope, was rewarded. RECORD 1. vs. Arnprior Lost 23-6 4. vs. St. Pius X Lost 19-0 2. vs. Hillcrest Lost 9-0 5. vs. B.C.S.

VVC had quite a good record this year, winning six games, drawing two, and losing two, both losses being to our old rival, Northwood. A great many thanks go to our coach, Mr. Anderson, who made us into a high-spirited well-oiled 'tliig Green Machine . At the Football Dinner in November, awards were given to several members of the team. The Most Valuable Player award was presented to Rusty Davidson, while the Most lmproved Player award was received by Doug Finlay and Christopher O'Brien.

XYQ were not over-confident in our seeond of two games against Northwood, and although we tried our best, we just eouldn't seem to get going, and the opposing team overpowered us hy a feore of 6-H. Although there were many close shots. it is indicated hy the seore that nobody on our team was ahle to put the hall past the goalie. 3. Our next game was played against Stanstead. in Xlontreal. on a slippery. rain-soaked held. and sinee we had to wear running shoes. it made hall handling dirlieult. But even under sueh conditions we man- aged to bring about a 3-U win. Finlay, Pottinger and Davidson eaeh scored once to give us the yietory. 4. We then moved down to l3.C.S. to play a hard fought game against a mueh underrated team. and only were able to draw the mateh I-I.

Almonte High School was our next opponent, and since this was Almont's first year in the big leagues , we expected to win. The final score was 1+-0 in our favour, and the scorers were Davidson with 8, Finlay with 3, Blackburn with 2, and Pottinger with 1. 6. X'Yc played at home the next week against Ridgemont High School, and although they were a tough team to beat, Rusty Davidson blasted one goal to win the game 1-O. 7. XVe visited Lachute High School for our annual game with them, and although we tried our hardest we could not seem to get our attack moving in the Hrst half. However, we picked up in the second half with the wind at our backs, and ended the game in a 2-2 tie. Dur two scorers were Davidson and Finlay. 8. After mediocre results in our Hrst game against Ridgemont, we looked for better scoring on our part in the second one. We found ourselves in much better form than we had been in the first game, and went on to win by a more convincing margin of 4-2. Davidson kicked in 3 goals while Finlay sneaked one by the goalie to give us the victory. 9. We looked forward with glee to our game against the Staff. Now we were on even terms with the masters, and an occasional hard check or a little tentative tripping could not be avoided, much to the boys' amusement and the masters injured dignity. I am sure that we all, Staff included, had great fun in this game, and the Hnal score was 2-1, in favour of the First Team naturally. Our two goals were scored by Davidson and Tyler, and M. Varent tallied up for the Staff. 10. Our last game of the season was played against the Old Boys of Ashbury, come to haunt the playing fields once again. lt was a very enjoyable game for everyone, and since most of us, first team and Old Boys, learned soccer from the same coach, the caliber of play was high. By the end of the game the score was 3-2 in our favour, indicating the closeness of play. Finlay scored two goals while Davidson scored one. The two Old Boy's goals were scored by Mike Farrugia, last year's Most Valuable Player. SCORING STATISTICS The Team Yrs. on Team Age Pos. Goals R. Davidson CCapt.j 3 16 C.F. 17 Cl.

The under fifteen boys played two games with Selwyn llouse, defeating the blaclt and yellow 2 to 0 in each contest. The slightly older members of the Ind team played a three game series with Sedburgh. For the first iuateh Ashbury visited Sedburgh and everyone spent a most enjoyable afternoon Cespecially since Ash- bury triumphed 8 to 27. The other two games, which were played at Ashbury, were won 3 to 2 and 5 to I. 1The success of the last game should be attributed to Doug Finlay who, on seeing his girl friend watching, was inspired to new heights, scoring four of the live goalsl In general, everyone had an exciting season and many are already look- ing forward eagerly to an equally successful term next year.

The Headmaster Cas Chairmanb, a nuniher of distinguished guests, and the coaches and players of the foothall and soccer teams were in attendance. it fter a short speech of welcome by the chairman and grace by the Chaplain, the gathering set to on a feast which in quality and quantity of viands did full iustice to the occasion. .Xt the conclusion of the rneal the toast to ller Majesty the Queen was proposed hy the chairman, Nlr. Perry, who then proceeded in his innntrhle inanncr to introduce the guests and to call upon those who were to propose the toasts. 'xlr. llrain in toasting the School created a humorous and original precedent ln' pronouncing it in Latin. 'lihe response was made by S. Ci. Pottinger, co-captain of the School. Pottinger's short speech was THE ASHBURI.-IN 93 perhaps not quite so erudite as was the toast, but at least equally intelligible to most of the gathering. Next came the toast to teams by Nlr. Belcher and the response bv R. Berry, Captain of the football teain. i The toast to the coaches was proposed by Xlr. .X. B. R. Lawrence Chairman of the Board of Governors, with the reply by 'Tiny' ller- mlnn, for many successful years First Team coach. We then had a word on football generally, from Nlr. Ron Lan- caster, Asihbury's Rough Rider, and from A. F. Gill, Co-Captain of the School and Vice-Captain of Football. All speeches were expressed with a strong vein of humour and in view of the limited time before the TV showing of a Grey Cup playoff, were mercifully brief. The evening came to a close with the presentation of colours and awards by members of the Board of Governors, and with presentations to the coaches by the members of the teams.

Ashbury Hnished in iirst place, winning five and tying one. In addition, ten exhibition games were played during the season. The year opened against our customary starting rivals, Currie Electric. The result was pleasing, as we won 8-6. Thence to a League game, against powerful Tech, and a 3-3 tie. A victory over Kemptville prepared the team for the Northwood double-header, which we split by scores of 10-3 and 7-8. Returning to League play, the team initiated a six-game winning streak that extended through the semi-finals. The victims were St. Pius X C5-25, St. Pats Q9-lj, Ottawa Lf H-35. St. joseph's C9--H, Fastview Q3-27, and in the 'semis', Ottawa LY. 67-35. In this time also were the important games against B.C.S. and L.C.C., which we lost, a tie with Stanstead, and a victory over RAS . lfnclc Rnfw: XI. j. Copeland, IJ. S. Cowan, G. B. Keffer, B. j.

Levitz, Vice-Capt., R. B. Logic, Capt., J. I. Bethune, I. R. Sinclair. The league finals against Tech saw us without the services of two players, through unfortunate circumstances, and the loss was sorely evident. l lowever, the team played as a team, with the result that our two losses to Tech were taken with no gripes or excuses. The final fixture of the season was the traditional match versus the Old lioys. Fortunately for the School, the alumni had previous engage- ments in several cases, and we won 7-5, thus closing off a very successful nineteen games. Nlr. Cierrie, the coach, had this to say, XYe had a young team, filled with determination and desire, and I was very much pleased with their performance . Richard Logic won the scoring title with 65 points, with jamie l.evitz second with 59. Also, the fact that there were fourteen goal- scorers indicates that this was no individualistic year. ln closing, the team would like to thank Mr. Gcrrie for his coaching on the ice, and his witty comments elsewhere.

THE ASHBURIAN ST SECOND TEAM This PLISI year has been a very successful one for our second hockey team as we enjoyed a healthy season of six wins and two losses. Our sincere thanks go to Nlr. XYansbrough for not only an excellent coach- ing job on the ice, but also for the helpful hints he gave us at the l lill- field dance. Everyone on the team realizes the importance of the coach and the fine work that Alr. XYansbrough has done this year. We would also like brieliy to extend our greetings to 'llo1ner', 'Spaz', Earl, and the other Hilllield players who made our weekend llllkl our dance such a success. XYe are looking forward to our visit to Hamilton next year and we hope to be able finally to beat them. Thanks also go to Sandy Sinclair who helped us Ollt early in the season by turn- ing in two stellar games between the pipes Cin the Gatineau game, Sandy got a well-deserved shutoutj, and also to Alike Copeland, Pete Barakett, Dave Gamble, and Ken Iverson, who 1nade brief appearances with the team during the season.

SKIING This year most of the emphasis was put on cross-country and dur- ing most of the games periods one could find the members of the team running a set course around Rockcliffe. This form of training was not particularly popular, but it must be admitted that our actual cross- country races benefited greatly from it. Throughout most of the winter weekends, Ashbury boys could be found racing in different cross-country events, whether at Camp Fortune or, occasionally, at the Viking Ski Club at Alorin Heights. As most of our time was filled up with the former nordic event, we did not give as much time to the Downhill and Slalom as we would have liked. The team had only one group competition between the L.C.C. and B.C.S. teams. This was held as usual at Xlont Orford in the Eastern Townships. Unfortunately the Dalton Hood competition fell on the same date as the Mont Urford event. In spite of all our efforts we only managed to place third, losing to Bishops by about 30 points out of l,500. Although we missed our coach, Dave Rhodes, who was heading for a skiing holiday in Austria and Switzerland, the trip was very enjoy- able. Mr. Anderson accompanied us and Mr. john lrvine went along to coach us in Dave's place. Next year Dave has great plans for the team where competitions are concerned and we hope that we shall do a little more of the Alpine side of skiing. Awards presented at the Easter Readover were as follows: The Evan Gill Trophy for the best individual skier went to Tim Coristine and the Ashbury College Cup for the most improved skier to Chris Grant. Colours were awarded to Grant and Coristine. Lastly, the Chris Coristine Nlemorial Trophy for the best cross- country skier in the school went to Chris Grant. ln closing I should like to express on behalf of all the team. our thanks to Alt. David Rhodes, who came down most days for our practice runs and weekend skiing. Also the boys who tried and did not quite make the first eight deserve credit. We have great hopes for their future success. wwf W - M 'Q ' K 'Wa linvlc Row: B. j. Nlerrett, XV. Armour, j. G. A. Tyler, R. VV. Horner, D. F. Rhodes, Esq Ifronr Rout C. AI. 0'Brien, A. VV.

BASKETBALL FIRST TEAM Basketball at Ashbury went fairly well this season. Although it certainly was not the year for winning games, it was a year of real experience for all who took part. The team played eight games, two at home in the Rockcliffe Park Public School Gym and six games away. The last game was the only winning tally. lt was played against the jewish Community Centre junior team, and in that encounter we man- aged to run up a 40-31 score in our favour. Examining the games record one can easily see where more experience could possibly have helped the team on several occasions. llowever, all members of the team showed considerable improvement at the end of the season, and sportsmanship, good conduct and fair play were characteristic of all games. 62 THE ASHBURIAN Richard Addleman, a member of last year's team and co-captain this year, was the top scorer with a 7.7 average per game. He suffered a broken linger early in the season but returned to spark the team both on offense and defense. Dave Mulaner was second highest scorer with a 7.1 average. He also played well on defense. Peter Hunt and Paul llenry are to be congratulated for their stalwart work throughout the season, Hunt especially for his showing in the final game, and Henry for a job continuously well done. Draper, Gallinger, Martin, Podhrad- sky, Polk l, Hfood I, and VVoolley played their parts fully in a losing and once in a winning cause. Special hearty thanks are extended by the team to the coach, Mr. Ron Lancaster, who did a great deal for our boys, combining his skill, experience and good humour to show old and new ideas of the fundamentals of basketball. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Snelgrove, Mr. Gerrie, Mr. Black and Pat Heeney, the manager, should also be thanked for making the season and games possible. Eyes are cast toward next season and the seasons following. If the team can stay more or less together, playing together and gaining more experience playing, then next year and the years after it will probably prove to be more profitable ones. However, we may be certain to see the Ashbury First Basketball Team playing and learning, winning and losing.

Ottawa was having a spell of hot, humid weather which made things dlH:1CL1lIf for the contestants. ln spite of the heat, however, 213 boys participated making this the largest entry in the school's history. Some changes were made in the courses run this year which rules out the possibility of records but nevertheless all four categories were run in fast times.

TENNIS A hmdicap of cadets and cross-country did not prevent coach Gerrie from producing a satisfactory tennis team this season. Although the annual pilgrimage to Northwood School in Lake Placid resulted in defeat, everybody took it with a grin. ln singles, number one man Bob Berry went down to defeat to the tune of 6-l, 6-3. Number two, Paul Henry, played excellent tennis and took his opponent 6-1, 6-4. john Smethurst, number three, retired at 6-3, 6-4. Next man, Danny NleGaughey, after losing the Hrst set 6-1, nearly pulled an upset in the second but his opponent eeked out a 7-5 victory. Bruce Berry, the 'lkidv of the team, found it possible to defeat his tall adversary in one game only. ln doubles, after hard fought c intests, both pairs bowed before their opponents. The trip itself was quite a success and next year with all hoping to return except Bob Berry, Ashbury has hopes of taking Northwood. , 1 .?Q,,'g,: ' :SSS ' Bark Rout j. U. H. Partridge, G. P.

Missing many of last vear's stalwarts, the team, in spite of some sturdv individual efforts, wound up with an almost unbroken record of rever- sals, and perhaps the less recorded here, the better. Sutlicient to sav that out of some tive regular fixtures of the First XI proper, the score sheets showed no victories. The season opened April Zlst with the Stall game. llere the Staff scored 145 against 75 bv First Xl. An outstanding leature here was the Headmaster's 1+ runs a line vestigcal remnant of former prowess. In the first game against Bishopsf plaved on .Nlav 12th Qawavl. we lost bv a score of 29-247, with Khazzam batting 100 of our hosts' total. In the second game against the same adversaries. plaved on Xlav 26th fat homel, the score was 30-280, against, with the same redoubtable I . 55 THE ASI-IBURIAN Khazzam batting 103. Our congratulations go to this remarkably fine bat. The Old Boys' match was played on june 2nd, with the visitors' sides supplemented by Mr. XVansbrough and Mr. Lancaster of our Teaching Staff. In this game the Old Boys emerged victors by 120-64, with Mr. lYansbrough knocking up 36, Greg Grant 16, Ned Rhodes, David Rhodes and Doug Heeney 13 each. Mr. Lancaster, of Rough Rider fame, also scored 13 runs, Not Out, and is reported as thinking quite highly of the game of cricket, which hitherto had failed to engage his attention. In the bowling department, David Rhodes took four wickets. XVhile no awards were made to any First Xl players by the coach, Mr. M. B. Vlfansbrough, Logie and Pottinger were the best of our bats Qin the Staff game Pottinger batted 30 and in a post season game against O.V.C.C. Logie scored 515, while Collyer and Addleman, two quite young additions, took virtually all the wickets in the season's play. In House cricket, VVoollcombe fell before Connaught, which was in turn defeated by Alexander, ultimate winner of inter-house competi- tion in all sports. As has been freely admitted, the season was somewhat dismal for our First XI, however, let us comfort ourselves with the thought that next year we have some promising material coming up.

Bishops College School. Even our own Firsts were given a hard time in a practice match! Dur batting backbone was made up of Roberts, 117.241, Hennberg. 111.253, and Andrew, 18.01, with Samples and Shepherd forming the bowling end of things. The team in general was very good, however, if some of the weaker members had been as good batsmen as they were fielders, an undefeated season might have resulted. Trusting that the Firsts don't steal too many players next year, there is no reason that with a lot of work on the batting, we should not make erumpets and tea out of our rivals from the Eastern Townships, B.C.S.

THE ASHBURI.-IN 69 XIONTRIQAI. .Xll .l .T The GKIIAA was the most successful competition of the vear for the seven-man Ashbury team. Each one of the boys finished in the top six of his event, which is quite a credit to the coaches and the team. Ewing picked up the most points of the day for the Ashbury team. In the class 4, 100-yd. dash the final was practically a dead heat, and Iain was given second place. tying the meet record of 10.3 sec. He also placed third in the broad jump with a leap of 19' -P , and fifth in the 220 with a time of 24- Hat. In class 2, Mulaner took 4th place in the javelin, Boyd hfth place in the shot put, Keifer fifth in the 880 and Polk fourth in the hop, step and jump. In class 3, Pete Hunt placed 3rd in the broad jump. In class 5, Gallinger ran Hfth in the 220. At the close of the season, Iain Ewing was presented with the Dr. -I. B. Ewing Trophy for the Host Valuable Member of the Track Team, for the second consecutive year. The track season must be considered a successful one from all angles, and the coaches are looking forward to another good one next spring.

The School has a copy of the report issued to Mr. Tupper in 1891. At that time, Tupper was in Form ll where there were 17 boys. The founder, Canon VVoollcombe taught everything except French which was taught by a Mr. Fleury. Tupper evidently was a good student. Mr. Tupper is also a descendant of Sir Charles Tupper, one of the Fathers of Confederation. The Headmaster spoke at this gathering and was enthusiastic about the future of the School.

Ile is also a member of the Senior Choir. and the Servers' Guild, distinguishing hiuiself in the latter capacity when lit- was asked to preach at St. Bartholomew's and St. Nlargart-t's, as well as in our own chapel. Socially, Pot nianai.5ed to compile the second highest total telephone time in the school, and rarely missed a dance, although he was seldom seen on the dance fioor, Next year he plans to attend Bishops' University for a Theology course, and we all wish him the hest of lurk. GILL, ALAN-Co. I-lead Boy: IVlnel1ce ix rlny leiirnillq? Harb thy toil O'er books Consullzcd the midnight oil? During his six year sojourn at Ashbury. Al Cill has established himself as a hard-working, conscientious and amiable young man. The coin- bination of all these qualities in any one person is quite remarkable. Those six years have also seen a noisy and rambunctious junior trans- formed into a serious minded, but sometimes still noisy. co-head boy. YVhen not toiling over the books or thrilling to the deep sound of his raucous voice, Al may be found on the playing fields. This year found him indulging in First Football and swimming. Although elected Captain of Basketball he cordially declined the offer in favour of obtain- ing his 'Y' card in swimming. Unfortunately Al's activities tat school? were hampered by a dislocated shoulder. This did not prevent his 'mean' Finger from publishing masterly cadet notic-Cs and scrupulous paper work, which won for him the 'Best Officer Award'. Next year, if he survives up to and including June 22nd, Al will uphold Gill tradition and enter L' of T and with his articulate manner, emerge as a successful lawyer. GILLE.-KN, PETER: The elephant is .1 dainty birdg It flirs from tree to tree. To no one's surprise, Peter became a prefect in September, and since then has made his presence felt in all quarters.. Being of stout mind and body he participated in the healthy sport of Football, Kas a linemanb, and in the equally healthy sport of Hockey, tas the coach of an eminently successful league teaml. Peter's social life. rather vast in extent. con- tinued to march onward this year, as he attended tnearlyl all the house dances and spread the fame of his graceful ballroom waltzing. As a prefect, he excelled in making tea. arguing. and co-ordinating the activities of his fellow boarder prefects after eleven p.m. An avid disciplinarian, the Big One Hbestrode the narrow world like a Colossus , exercising his stentorian voice at all possible moments. No biographer could neglect to add that he is a fastidious dresser, an example of advancement in the Cadet Corps, and the recognized heavy- weight of the school. Peter feels that his call is to the Church, and, judging by his devotion in that area, we ag1ee with him. He intends to pursue his theological studies at King's College, Halifax. where his happy smile and ready wit will no doubt be very welcome. FLOOD, CHRIS-Captain of the Day Boys: As the life is, so is the speech . Chris came to Ashbury five years ago after previous educational stints at Elmwood ta well kept secret! and R.P.P.S. This year, his second as a Prefect, he was appointed Captain of the Day Boys and spent much of his time extolling the virtues of this hard working group. This year also marked his emergence into the esoteric circles of the common room where he gained the reputation of being one who would never duck an issue. Athletically, Flash. under the co.iching of his cool cousin , was re-awarded his First Team Football colou's last autuiim. Although elected Vice-Captain of Hockey, Ankles decided that he enjoyed belting the books better than opponents and so limited his participation to games that were exprcted to draw large crowds. During the spring term Chris jofned the energetic few that left the school each day with a great deal of fanfare fo: a little running and who always returned in a remark- ably fresh condition. Next year the medical profession receives tl severe setback when Chris heads down east in quest of a degree. However, if his attitude in Zoology class is indicative. we can he sure that Chris will have very little trouble in succeeding. . Q Y We 5 Lx .. 80 ,S I-wmrwv THE ASHBURIAN BETHUNE, JOHN: Not to worry! Troubles will soon re- solve flJ67lI56'l'L'6S.,, john, as one of the members of the Prefect body, is continually in need of a haircut. This year he was a fullback on the First Football Team, Vice-Captain teaptain of vicel of the First Hockey Team, mainly playing in the defensive spot talthough he managed to wander around quite a bit out therey, he won his first team colours for hockey this year. John started the spring term by playing on the First Cricket XI, but after loosing an argument with Mr. VVansbrough found himself playing either golf or tennis Cno one is quite sure whichl. John was form monitor for VIA and was also the Lt. of number two platoon, which eopped the Best Platoon Award. Among his extra curricular activities we find two appearances on High Time, the prosecuting attorney in The Caine Mutiny Trial Scene, his Austin A-40, golf, and bowling. He is a member of that distinguished society of non-smokers which is fast diminishing. john will be back with us next year, to try for his senior matriculation. He hopes eventually to get into VVestern for a Business Administration Degree. In any case we wish him the best of luck in any endeavour he should undertake. BLACKBURN, ROSS: 6'Fools rusls in 'where Angels fear to tread . Ross, or Molecule as he is adectionately labelled by his better friends, hails from the thriving Metropolis of Rosemere, unmarked on any map. He regales the common room with the brilliant patter of the budding intellect, and sends us into gales of side-splitting laughter while recount- ing his various conquests against the fairer sex. Normie,', has performed his duties as a Prefect admirably, and has stuck to the letter of the law many times in the face of danger on the flats. He was sergeant of number two platoon, and did an excellent job in that capacity His favourite sport is soccer, and during the season, this is all he talks about. During the winter. his greatest concern was for his car, which sat at home buried deepe: and deeper with each snowfall. Ross's plans for the future are as yet uncertain. and who knows. he may yet return to another glorious year at Ashbury. Whichever it may be Ross, good luck and happy motoring. BOOTH, JOHN: Absence makes the heart grow forzdern. Iohn is completing his eighth year at Ashbury, and certainly seems the better for wear. During the year he contributed to the much needed bench strength of the First Football Team, having graduated from last ye-ar's seconds, and was well on the way to the ski team before suffer- ing an unfortunate accident. In the spring term john met up with another misfortune, an acute case of mononeucleosis the day after the formal. Since John missed so much valuable time he did not think it wise to write his final exams and will be returning to these hallowed walls next year. CORISTINE, TIMOTHY NEXVELL: NO what a tangled 'web we weave uilaeiz first we practise to . . fl After spending a number of years at Selwyn House School in Montreal, Tim saw the light and came to Ashbury in 1959. He showed his athletic prowess in skiing by captaining this year's First Ski Teamg in long distance running by a first place in the Cross Country last year and a second this yearg and by distinguished pe formances in the broad jump. Tim is a firm believer of Much Work is a VVeariness of the Flesh . Being well-known for his procrastination at 7:15 p.m., he came under the infiuence of Mr. Sibley's Department of Labour. flt seems he was perpetually under the threat of, Coristine if you're not working in two minutes, l'll crucify you. J The most outstanding feature of Tim is his social life. He is an avid chi-rchez les femmes fan and being a romancer of sorts, he uses Alexander Graham Bell's invention to great advantage. t Where's Coristint- ? VVhere else but his telepliont- J Tim, however, is not satisfied with one femme , he likes to play both ends against the middle, or at least he did up to the 20th of May this year. Both ends happened to live in Ottawa, and no doubt there is a third end in Montreal. THE ASHBURIAN EYVING, IAIN: Count up the men in this world who let success slip away because they were modest, and you eu.-ill find their ranks too swelled to join . Iain, or Frenchy , as he has been called, is good at virtually everything he attempts. If proof is desired of his phenomenal ability. an call to his house will bring immediate confirmation. Besides being Literary Editor of this Magazine, lain lwith an I J, was a member of the First Football Team, gym team, track team, debating team, High Time team and prob- ably several more I have forgotten about. lt is nimourcd that he also succeeds by himself with the fair sex, having escorted a number of Ottawa's leading young socialites to gala evenings on Cloud Nine. Although he takes no pride in his car, it may be said, with some accuracy, that he uses it for all it is worth, and secs that no paint is lost in the process. In his spare time, lain may occasionally crack a book , and expose the hapless print to his retentive memory. However, though much has been said concerning his achievements, words to describe lain's character are almost inadequate, or, at the least. extremely esoteric. So, without further confusing the reader, we conclude by wishing Mr. Ewing all the best at U of T next year. HASLAXI, GERALD: t'Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those 'whom we can not resemble . Fighting his way back from potential failure, Gerry was most deservedly promoted to the Prefect body at Easter. Our red-headed friend is cer- tainly a man of no mean achievement: he was the only 'snap' in Football history ever to hike the ball over the goal posts, but enough said about a touchy subject. Gerry applies his 'gift of the gab' as Captain of thc Debating Team and hopes to become Prime Minister of our great country lfor comment, viz. abovei. Besides being the idol of many colour-conscious Toronto girls, a member of the 'High Time' team, he is lead singer and skinHint of the Retrospects. Last year, after an out- standing t?l season as goaler of Second Hockey, he made the quarter- finals of the Optimist Inter-nation North American Public Speaking Contest! The spring term brings Gerry a rest from the hard labours of the winter study squad the now skips cricket to study because of the lost time of winterj and enlightens us all with his eloquent 'stories' of adventures past. If he can spare a moment from drooling over a picture of Maurice 'The Angel' Tillet, he may finish the book that he is in the process of writing. This fall he's off to Mc-Gill and an as yet unnamed fratemity. fFor life history read 'Biography of a Schoolboy'j. LYNN, NEIL: IV ho can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain and the days of eternity. Neil has successfully served a five year sentence at Ashbury and rumour reports that he will be transferred to the McGill minimum security institution next year. Queen's was considered and rejected on the grounds that all play and no work makes Neil a dull boy XVhile on the subject of activities, Neil was a stand-out with the First Soccer field. the Second Toboggan field and the Cricket XI. His athletic prowess is equalled by none and is a constant source of inspiration to any aspiring novice. His devotion to sport in no way detracted from the efliciency of his Q.M. stores, where he served in the capacity of Odicer in Charge of Discipline and in spite of this full schedule, he still found time to perform his duties as a Prefect. He tells us he collected a total of fifty lines during the year, but Neil is naturally modest and we estimate the figure to be more in the neighbourhood of fifty-five. Undismayed by his rejection by the choir, Neil as assistant head server in the chapel effectively stood and waited and served. His aimiable and conscientious manner should make him a success in his summer Civil Service job and on the McGill campus in the fall. Good luck Neil - you may need it. PARKER, STUART: A young man that blushes is better than a young man who turns pale? In his second and final year as Ashbury, S.M.O. tStul has been a leading academic, sporting and social figure in Upper Sixth Society. In athletics, he proved a valuable asset to the First Football Lcoloursi and First Hockey. A brief, limping, foray into cricket concluded Stu's sport- ing season. In the spring, as a non-participating member of the Sibley Study Field, he viewed the Cadet Inspection as a knowledgeable outsider. In academics. it seemed that new robes of excellence sat just as easily as the Hold . But how Stu managed to sustain a high scholastic standard and participate in all those extra-curricular activities . Cdefinitely not on campus? is a wonder and amazement to all. Three successful appearances on High Time stand to Stu's credit. Off the record, jail stories and accounts of former lesser schools scattered the world over keep Stu busy talking lwhen he gets the chancel. Ang-way. next year Stu plans on entering U of T for science. XVe wish him luck. Perhaps there, he can peddle some more of his photographs, stories and blushesl 8 li .u .Y+ Fl '. ,rf f 5. . 3.

Don, as most people call him, was elevated at Easter, at which time he was seen to be using the quick eye and wearing the well cut coat men- tioned above. Anyway, he has settled comfortably into the groove of Prefectorial life, becoming an avid smoker in the process, and leaving his room in a constant state of organized confusion. Looking back, we see he was quarterback of the Second Football Team, Qcalling passes in a third and six situationl, high scorer on the Second Hocky Team, and a Charter Member of the Spring Temi Study Squad. He is also a member of the Debating Team, lead guitarist of the Retrospects and a fan of glossy paper-backed novels, which he reads by the dozen. A person of no mean social achievements either, Don attended several dances, being a happy recipient of one of Pottinger's Dial-a-Date's. It is said that Saturday afternoons see him at a local theatre with a friend from XVake-field, but this is so far mere rumour. Next year this smiling, singing Duck-Lover plans to attend McGill University, to which he will no doubt hitch-hike, and we wish him, and his guitar, all the best. XVOOLLEY, KENNETH: A close mouth catches no flies . Ken is one of the more reserved members of the Prefect Body. One thing, however, will bring out a tremendous show of wrath from the cobra : that is someone fiddling around with his little red T.C. sports car. This angers Ken beyond all imagination. He will stride up to the culprit and bellow some awe-inspiring phrase such as, Please leave my car alone . Such uncontrolled shows of temper, however, are few and far between and because of this Ken is very popular with his associates. XVhen not riding around in the sports car, Ken found time to play centre on the First Football Team, guard on First Basketball Team twinning the Snelgrove Trophyl and many and varied positions on the First Cricket XI. Despite this heavy schedule, Ken still finds time to take his car apart every so often, smoke a few P cigarettes a day and date Io. Amazingly enough he even did a little school work on the side.

Perry's 36th end of term Readover in twelve years. The lleadmaster began by saying that the closing of a school year is a happy occasion, but that there were some regrets , the loss of Florence notable among them. Mr. Perry said that there had been a measure of academic progress during the year, and that, on the whole, the school had done very well. Athletics, he said, had an average year, there were disappciintments, and successes, the junior Cricket Cup and the record of the Track Team were most gratifying. The Head mentioned the Chapel and its effect on our life, the Choir, the excellence of the Cadet Corps, the show made by the Quiz Kids and the Debating Team, and the high standards maintained by the Prefects and other ofiicers. After bidding farewell to departing members of the staff, awarding Colours and making several presentations, Nlr. Perry announced plans for a laboratory extension, and interest in an artificial ice-rink. Mr. Belcher then announced the winners of the Ashburian con- tests, before the Headmaster, in closing, wished us all a happy summer. remarking that we were all 'Ambassadors of Ashbury' and that we would do well to live by the school motto: 'Probitas, Virtus, Comitasf SPORTS DAY Iain Ewing, George Keffer and Chris Collyer were top winners in the three classes of events on Sports Day, june 7th. Ewing won the 100-yd. dash, the 120-yd. hurdles, the 220-yd. dash and the hop, step and jump in the senior division.

Here the Headmaster bade farewell to those who were leaving the school. He said, in part: Although boys are not thought to be sentimental, I suspect that a few of you will look around and say goodbye with some regrets . . . I want you to know that I am grateful to you for the many contributions which you have made to the School's success. It is a stronger place because you were here and have all left your names inscribed on the School records . . . In the words of Henry Newbolt, 'Henceforth the School and you are one, and what you are the race shall be.' I' At 3: 30 p.m. the Prize Giving took place and this year fine weather returned to us for the occasion - blue skies and a moderate temperature. The Air Force rehearsing for their 'show' on the following Saturday, and usually in full flight during the two preceding days, tempered ex- pediency with consideration and made only a few runs over our heads. The Headmaster explained that he had attempted to time the speeches so that they might punctuate the roar of the jets. The chairman, Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence, MC., B.C.L., Q.C., opened the proceedings by welcoming the visitors and calling upon the Head- master to make his report on the activities and attainments during the school year. Mr. Perry spoke of the high academic success achieved by last year's Senior Nlatric Class and by those who had written internal exams this year, he referred to bursaries and scholarships now available, and to distinctions of Old Boys graduating from universities. He spoke of the valuable contribution of the Mothers' Guild in providing various bene- fits to the School, and of additions and improvements contemplated in the School's physical structure, of athletics he said, In looking back I think we overdid our hospitality in sportsmanship by allowing our guest speaker's old school CBishops'J to defeat us on all fronts. YVe propose to change this next year. At the conclusion of the Valedictory Address by the co-captains of the School, S. G. Pottinger and A. F. Gill, Howers were presented to Mrs. Glass, in absentia. The presentation was made by one of the School's youngest boys-sl. S. Barker. This was followed by a presenta- tion to the Headmaster of three fine Bartlett prints, from the graduating class in recognition of all you have done for us, and to Mrs. Perrv of a bouquet of yellow roses: i The guest speaker. Dr. C. L. Ogden Glass, a former headmaster of Ashbury from I9-I5 to 1950, and presently Principal and Vice-Chancel- lor of Bishops Lniversity. gave a most interesting address in which he THE ASHBURI.-IN 99 reminisced on his years at the School, made some penetrating observa- tions on present trends in education, and warned against the current tendency to pessimism on world affairs. It is my opinion , he said. that no student should undertake a career in science, even at the undergraduate level, unless his mathematics are in the Hrst class, or exceedingly close to it, and his physics at nearly the s.1me level. The impact of romantic space Hight and the general romance of science may be running us into the grave danger of 'driving square pegs into round holes'. On the score of pessimistic tendencies, Dr. Glass said, The world is fraught with danger, but I wonder if it has not always been so. He quoted famous men from as far back as 1849 who felt then that the world was headed for disaster, Academic prizes were presented by: XY. Dirkse van-Schalkwyck, Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa to Canada, Commodore -I. C. CD'Brien, R.C.N., C.D., Canadian Naval Attache to Mashington, I-I. Pullen, Esq., B.A., B.Paed., D.I2d., Assistant Superintendent of Sec- ondary Schools, Donald Maclaren. Esq., B.Sc., P.Ilng. C1930-19395, Secretary, Board of Governors, E. B. Pilgrim, Ilsq., M.A. C1939-19465. Headmaster-elect of Ridley College, O. Proulx, Esq., M.A., Ph.D., District Inspector-Ottawa-St. Lawrence Number One. Also, two memorial trophies, the Charles Rowley Booth Memorial Trophy, for General Proficiency in Grade 12, and The Robert Gerald Moore Memorial Prize in English were presented by Mrs. S. A. MacKay Smith and Mrs. Robert Moore, respectively. After the awarding of the prizes and the closing remarks of the Chairman, the gathering moved to the front lawn where refreshments were served to the accompaniment of the music of the Band of the Governor General's Foot Guards. VALEDICTCRY Delivered by G. Pottinger and A. Gill-Head Boys Gill: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Headmaster, Ladies and Gentlemen: Again this year the School decided to continue its policy of appoint- ing two head boys. The pros and cons of this arrangement are ir- relevant. M'hat is relevant is that it once again complicates the question of the Valedictory. As both Graham and I are standing here. and as neither of us intends to assume the role of the silent partner. it is obvious that we have decided to follow, borrow, or steal the system adopted by the last two, or should I say four, Yaledictorians. According to the ,fm THE ASHBURIAN format laid down in previous years, the speech is divided into two parts, the first of which belongs to Graham. . . Pottinger: Thank you, Alan. Before I begin I would like to mention that this has certainly been a great vear for Ashbury. For the first time in the history of the School, one ofithe Head Boys' has come from a thriving industrial metropolis about sixtv-five miles northwest from here, called Renfrew. It also may be noted that in Ashbury's life, so far only three people from Ren- freiv have ever come here. I guess this proves the saying, Third time's lucky because l'm number three. 'As vou know, it is the function of the Valedictorian, and this year's Valedictorians, to bid farewell on behalf of the graduating class. This is indeed an honour although not entirely a happy one. I feel rather like Cerberus, the three-headed dog, who guarded the realms of Pluto and who, with his three heads was able to look in three directions, the past, the present and the future. The past is filled with many happy memories of what we have learned and accomplished. Memories such as the first time we were caned for smoking without permission, or the hour we spent at the wall for the spitball fight in prep, and the friendships we formed in class and on the sports' fields. The present is now, these Closing Ceremonies. Our minds and spirits are filled with the excitement of the coming holiday, the relief that exams are over, the joy of being reunited with our parents. Now is a time of mixed emotions for those of us who are leaving. The future will be a different world. XVe shall be introduced into a new way of life. No bell will ring at 7: 15 every morning. No Prefect or Master will come around to haul us out of bed. We will be on our own. XYe all feel the sorrow of departing from a life which has become, although some won't admit it, very near and dear to us. At the same time, we are also filled with the anticipation of what is to come. Vlfhat will this new way of life be like? It will be filled with the trials and the difiiculties which are common to all boys who have just left school. And yet, I feel that we Ashburians shall not find the new way of life hard to adapt to. Life at Ashbury does more for us than We realize. Iler most important work is the moulding of the characters of her offspring. For without a sure and strong character, we, the youth of today, tomorrow's great men, have not much hope. Ashbury helps us develop our characters so that we may become the great men of tomorrow. As of today, we, the graduating class, join the ranks of that famed society known as Old Boys . I am sure that we all hope in our future life we shall be able to afford the time to return to the School and see all that we have been happily associated with, and what alterations and additions have taken place. And now, back to Alan. ft A l l l l I 1 I I H .afx . E-fi THE ASHBURIEIN lfll Gill: Thanks Graham. l, unfortunately, never had the advantage of such a colourful home town, having lived most of my life in the Village of Rockcliffe Park. Ilowever, as a near neighbour, I have had a long awociation with Ashbury. Xlany were the Saturday mornings that I and my cohorts from my alma mater across the way would sally forth to watch the local heroes do battle on the Ashbury football field and, almost inevitably, would we incur the wrath of a certain gentleman who could never quite see eye to eye with our manner of watching football games. Despite this inauspicious background, I followed a family tra- dition and entered Ashbury where, on my first day, that same gentle- man, whom I had since learned as the Alt. Brain, informed me that I had a great reputation to keep up. Knowing my relatives, I was never quite sure of the significance behind the remark nor what policy should be followed to live up to that reputation. Be that as it may, I am sure that it was a great stimulus in my Ashbury career. However, this word reputation bears dwelling upon. Through- out life, we are always striving to follow, to live up to. to build a repu- tation. At Ashbury, we have had the reputation of our predecessors at the School and of the School itself, to uphold. At the same time, all of us have acquired for ourselves a reputation of one sort or another. But we are leaving Ashbury and the reputations that we established here, and we are setting out for places unknown where we will be forced to make our presence felt once again. In this task we will be greatly aided by one factor-the reputation of the school we have just left. If we combine this advantage with a determination to live up to the examples set by former Ashbury graduates, we cannot go far wrong. My reputation, be what it may, has been achieved during years at the School which have been both extremely interesting and gratifying. To say that they have all been pleasant, however, would indeed be hypocritical, but I know that, no matter how hard I and my fellow students have tried to find fault, we have developed a certain respect, a certain feeling for the school. What Ashbury has done for us may at the present be a little nebulous to some, but I believe that in the future it will be fully appreciated by all. But enough of reminiscence and speculation. I would like now. on behalf of the graduating class. to thank the members of the staff for all their assistance during our school careers. Also, both Graham and I would like to thank our fellow prefects, the room captains, the monit- ors and, indeed, anyone who did his bit to keep the munber of nuts loose in the school to a minimum. Now, for a closing there will be no school motto. no Tennyson's Ulysses, but a wish for the best of luck to those returning. a sincere hope for success to those leaving and, finally. just one reminder to the graduating class - you have a great reputation to keep up. .,,.-N--1 km -ab. luv' WMO' V- 'rs :ff X Q ' A .if K ll X - 9 1 t ig e , Twig? wi .Ura mg? ,fx N .. -s 1 gfgi K ' gli' LITERARY MVQT -1 is QF' 19, Qin , Q., . he Q T SECTIQN 'W Risky ' t '51 it ,X - , t .

THE ASHBURIANH COMPETITIONS AND AXYARDS Pho to gm pby This contest was judged by an external, professional authority who decided that, among many line entries two were, in their different ways, of equal merit. One was a photograph of the bare branches of a tree, against a cloudy sky. This was judged as best in terms of imagination and artistic merit. The other fa picture of the burning of Chalmers United Churchj as best in terms of dramatic reporting and of proficient photography. A number of other entries were regarded as of outstanding merit and several of these, as well as the winning entries appear here with the Editor's wish to thank all those who submitted photographs, whether in competition or merely for the sake of a contribution to the interest of 'lThe Ashburiann. The winner - Smethurst. Q I -if is W THE ASHBURIAN Verse Among an unusually large number of entries, there were two or three which, in the opinion of the adjudicators, stood out conspicuously in poetic merit. The first of those selected was a very brief lyric entitled CamouHage . This little poem succeeded in communicating in highly condensed but thoroughly lyrical style, a mood which is experienced by almost everyone, recognized by few, and expressed by still fewer. Its author - Snelgrove. CAMOUFLAGE Sometimes I do not want the world to know That I exist, I XVHHI to see but not be seen, Like gulls in mist. I envy arctic things upon the snow, IVhite bear, white fox. In jungles I would be pure green, And gray on rocks. SNELGRON'E-VIA The second poem, also a lyric, was, Lord of the Mansion . It too, quite subtly and delicately expressed a human experience in terms of condensed and evocative words, imagery and rhythms, and, in the opinion of the judges, does great credit to the skill and imagination of its author - Ewing. THE LORD OF TI-IE MANSION The lord of the mansion The sun warm on his face, How happy is he And sniffed the perfumed breeze, Master of all he surveys! And sighed g'How sweet He stepped from the mansion, To the girl who walked beside. Cool and white, The lord of the mansion heard, Into the summer sun, And felt like 3 Stick, VVhere his grass lay green before his feet, Stripped of its protecting bark. And the wind played softly in his trees, Then fear came on him - And drifted the scent of lilac, Sudden as a summer shadow, And his heart was light. And from his trees A IWY PUSSCQI by, He heard the caw of many crows.

The author - Smethurst. Tllli DUMB CADICT Jonah didn't want to make any mistake over this. lt was the first time he had been to a cadet camp, and he was eager to prove himself. Are you sure that's right? , he repeated, his Hat ebony face solemn. Sure, l'm sure , Hank said, I heard it myself . For a moment Jonah could only stand there. Then a gap as wide as the space between a rabbit and fox revealed his white teeth, as he smiled, he shook his head. Hell l'll be doggonedlw His third dav at camp and he was being promoted to Coffee Sergeant. The sheer pride of it made his face glow. And all the time back there in Georgia, his mother was worried over him. He remem- bered how she had written to him, telling him she was praying that he'd make a good soldier, and that he'd come back safe and sound. The Lord must have answered his mother's prayers all right. He had been told that all a coffee sergeant had to do was to taste the coffee each morning and then give permission for it to be served. The next morning, Jonah proud as a peacock, marched into the mess room. Every man in the crowded mess hall jumped to his feet, his eyes straight ahead at attention. Quickly he waved his hand, and as he had heard his officers say, he said Rest . Oblivious of the subdued chuckles of mirth, Jonah tested the coffee handed him by a cook, who was doing his best to keep a straight face. No, a man couldn't rightly say that was good coffee, we'll have to throw it out . At-a-boy, Jonah! someone called, and the room rang with cheers and handclapping. Finally someone said, Fetch the mess sergeant, tell him to throw it out . lYhere is the mess sergeant? Jonah asked. I lc's sleeping , Hank replied, Shall l get him? You'd better said Jonah, not too sure of himself at this point. Old Jelly Belly, as the men called him shufhed in, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. XYhere's this inspecting officer who wants to see me? Hank pointed at Jonah, There, sir . l i 106 THE ASI-IBURIAN Thats right. sergeant, Jonah nodded, 'Tm the new coffee ser- geant round here and this coffee is not fit to drink. The answering roar to this statement was talked about for weeks afterwards. Some say that even windows a block awav were cracked. Jonah turned around to the men for assurance, only to find that they were laughing at him. Then he realised he'd been made a fool of. A week later, having lived in ridicule throughout it, Jonah was resting with the Company while they took a break. He saw that they sat in small groups, talking. And he hesitated, for he had no group to go to. Slowly he walked to one side and squatted on his heels. lt was then Hank had an idea, for he'd seen the box of dummy hand grenades brought out for the next training period, and whispered to himself yeah , He made his way over to the box and picked up a dummy grenade. Then he winked. Yes, suh he said, I sure is glad they're going to give us a chance to shoot off some grenades this morn- ing. Casually he walked over to Jonah. Jonah turned his head, then alarm swept across his face, for Hank was tossing the grenade in the air and catching it. Hank gave the grenade another toss. Yes, suh, if - he purposely missed it, grabbed for it, then yelled, look out! Jonah jumped to his feet. XVildly he glanced around, seeking cover. Then he realised that many of the cadets would not be able to get away in time. For an instant he looked at the grenade, then he ran to it and threw his small body Hat on the ground. The smiles were gone in the company now. The men looked at one another, not knowing what they should do, and remained there frozen. Get back! Jonah shouted again, and saw that they wouldn't move. He pressed his body hard against the grenade then, as if trying to cover the explosion. The Platoon Sergeant then broke in softly, Jonah, he said, taking his arm. lt's a dummy grenade. Jonah understood then. They had tricked him again, and now he'd gone and made a fool of himself before the whole company. He fully expected to hear a roar of laughter. Yet there was no laughter, and Jonah glanced up puzzled. The faces of the men were solemn, and each man seemed to be thinking of someday when the grenades might not be dummy. Yeah llank was saying. Yeah A Russian might have thrown that huh? He walked forward. g'Let me brush the dust off Vou, fr1end,', he said and there was no mockery in his voice.

There like sagging birthday cake, the Titanic's bow swung down, Her passenger list was large enough to fill a small sized town. Many thought of the iceberg that struck Titanic's bow, And of all the events that had taken place from that time up till now. In all the passengers' hearts and minds there lurked the awful fear, Of how they might never see again those whom they loved so dear. By now the stem had risen high, all knew it was too late, Only a shining miracle could save them from their fate. Higher and higher rose the stem, 'mid screams and faces pale, Till suddenly she plummets down, to never again set sail.

Before I end this little rhyme, I think I have a little time, To say I write to save my life. They're standing by me with a knife! XI,xcT.1.vIsH - IV ms THE ASHBURIAN A DAY ON THE COAST The Atlantic sun rose from beneath the horizon and its yellow brilliance dispersed the last wisps of night. The ocean shone like a golden carpet and a few puffs of white cloud speckled the sky. At the foot of the cliff, the waves splattered against the rocks and broke into a fine spray which gleamed like a string of luminous beads. On the cliff itself, the soft rustling of the foliage was in sharp contrast to the bitter cry of the sea gull as it pierced the morning mist. The sun climbed higher, as dawn brightened into morning, and from the tall cliff, the tiny village of Perce could be seen awakening with its quaint, French-Canadian homes. The fishing boats set out for the day's haul and the steady churning of their propellers could be heard until distance had long eclipsed the sturdy craft from sight. The golden beach soaked in the heat from the sun and a lone swimmer bobbed up and down in the vast blue of the ocean. Out of the ocean, Perce Rock rose majestically with its pinnacle hidden by a grey cloud of sea gulls perching upon it as the rich green of Bonaventure Island created a vivid contrast with the red-roofed houses of the village. Far out to sea, the ocean faded into oblivion, losing itself in a white haze that hung above the perfect curve of the horizon. In the midst of the late morning, now evaporating into afternoon, a solitary trawler knifed its way through a dazzling sheen of blue, agitating the water with foam-crested ripples that soiled a flawless ocean. Closer and closer it came, while its shadows danced carelessly along the waves and, as it neared the dock, a few last stuttering efforts throbbed from the dying moter and stained the XVQIICI' with a whirlpool of green oil. At the dock, the boat glided in smoothly till its starboard side nestled snugly against the quay. The fishermen worked quickly, their gnarled hands illustrating the delicate finesse of their art. The waste part of the fish were hurled into the ocean to the great delight of the seagulls, who, in a Hurry of shaking wings and sputtering water, clasped the precious gift in their beaks and darted away in precipitated Hight. Gradually, as the day aged and afternoon waned into evening, a blanket of darkness engulfed Perce and the light of day was replaced by the murky reaches of dusk. The pale orb of the moon arched upwards in a slow, deliberate climb that revealed all its spherical beauty, and the bright sun of afternoon became the fiery globe of sunset, it dipped toward the horizon and painted the sky with vivid shades of red, orange, and purple, while, at the same time, emitted a deep glow which split the gloaming and lingered a few more seconds after the fading sun had been swallowed by the sea. Night, now firmly entrenched, spanned Perce like an intangible tarpaulin with its dusty edges locked to the ground.

Bow - VIA 1,0 THE ASHBURIAN THE CAAIOUFLAGE OF WINTER To me there is nothing more invigorating than a walk taken during the Christmas season. The ideal time is after the Hrst heavy snowfall, when all the countryside is clad in her glittering white attire. It is a cold, sunny day when I leave the house, and the crisp, new snow crunches Linder my boots with a metallic ring. Indeed, it is so frosty that at first my breath is cut short and my nostrils have a tendency to cling together. My breath hangs in a silvery cloud, and from time to time a shower of snow-flakes whirls round my head, disturbed from their nesting place by a sudden gust. On either side of the road lies the forest. Here and there on the almost unblemished surface of the snow are traces of the timid inhab- itants. The boughs of the trees bend beneath their burden and once in a while, amid a shoew and a roar, small avalanches cascade down in crazy abandon. The complete outline of the wood has been changed, the trees are festooned gaily with cobwebs of snow, woven in intricate designs by the talented hand of jack Frost. Suddenly the solitude of the wilderness is broken by a bone-chilling screech as a blurred image flits across a clearing. It is the snowy owl, a handsome despot who ruled his forest kingdom with a ruthless hand. The great bird settles upon a stump, and in his camouflage of white, awaits his victim. Fascinated by this game of death, I sit unmoving upon a nearby jutting rock, hoping to glimpse the actors of the forbidden wilderness in their frightening roles. I do not have long to wait, for soon a frolic- some rabbit, in his winter garb, gambols into the clearing, and proceeds to wash himself with great care. The owl, a hillock of snow, except for the unblinking, yellow spheres watches with deadly intensity. In the middle of preparing his toilet the rabbit stiffens, and rises up on his hind legs, his little pink nose sniffing and his large ears cocked. True to the instinct of animals, he feels the presence of danger, and with a resounding thump of his hind-paws he streaks for the cover of the underbrush. The hitherto motionless owl exploded into action and hurtled down on the fleeing creature with talons extended. Once again the silence is broken, shattered by a ferocious war cry mingled with the choking scream of death. Now, as I make my way slowly homeward, I am no longer deceived by quiet beauty of the frozen world around me, for an area of frozen redness bca rs the testimony of the struggle for life, which lies behind this winter scene. A'IAR'l'IN - VIA THE ASHBURIAN III Tl llf, KICY TO Tl Ili Dl .lf.P The mysterious deep has always fascinated man. lf ever this state- ment was true, it is so to-day, for one of the nation's sports most rapidly gaining in popularity is Scuba diving. Scuba - self-contained under- water breathing apparatus is the key to life underwater - its beauties, its mysteries and its dangers. The invention of Scuba equipment came about as the result of the rather natural revolt against the heavy, cumbersome diving suit with helmet. Not only was movement awkward in the attire but the diver, receiving his air supply from the surface, was limited in his movements. lYith the breathing apparatus designed by the lfrenchmen, Cousteau and Gagnon, however, the diver carried his air supply in tanks strapped to his back and, with the aid of flippers and goggles, was able to swim and explore underwater. This equipment proved to be of great value in demolition work during the Second World War and, since then, has been made available to the public. The equipment needed to enjoy this sport ranges from the relatively simple to the exorbitantly expensive. The bare necessities are the comprewed air tank, a regulator which controls the How of air from the tank to the mouth, Hippers and goggles. Various extras range from a rubber suit, necessary for colder waters, and spear guns for fishing, to underwater cameras for photography and scooters for mechanical transportation beneath the surface. These accessories, whether neces- sary or not, are indicative of the advanced state of Scuba diving to-day. Once equipped and properly trained, the Scuba diver is ready to explore a completely new world. However, l say properly trained, for the dangers to the uninitiated are manifold. After the first natural feeling of claustrophobia has been conquered, the beginner must be taught how to prevent or deal with anything from nitrogen narcosis fthe bendsl to choking - both of which can have fatal consequences. He must be taught when, where and how to dive. Above all, he must be taught to recognize his own limitations, either physical or mental, as a diver. Vllhen the lessons are learned, the rewards are great. Nor is the first dive quick to wear off, for each successive trip beneath the surface. unfolds a new scenery which is, itself, constantly changing. The fascination of discovering, and moving among, new forms of life is one which is hard to parallel. In short, those who are drawn to this sport are rarely disappointed. XVhat does draw man underwater? lt is that part of the human mind that strives to answer the challenge of the unexplored or is it the thrill of existing in an environment for which he was not ordained? Whatever the reason, more and more people are attempting to unlock the beauties, mysteries and dangers of the subterranean world. Scuba diving is the modern way! GiLL - L' VI 112 THE AsHBUR1AN HISTORY OF THE DOMESTIC CAT The origin of the domestic cat is hidden in the midst of antiquity. The first definite evidence of the existence of the domestic cat comes from ancient Egypt over three thousand years ago, although it may have been known long before this time. ln Egypt the cat was held in great esteem. It was worshiped in the temples, protected from injury, loved, during life and elaborately preserved after death. The Egyptians realized the cat's immense value in protecting their granaries from rats and mice. Statues, ornaments, and decorations of precious material were made in the shape of cats. From these ancient statues, it can be seen that the shape of the cat has changed little up to to-day. ln India cats were mentioned in Sanskrit writings over two thousand years ago, while in China about 500 BC Confuscius was known to have a favourite cat. In Scandinavia the Godess Freya is depicted on a chariot drawn by two cats. About 600 AD Mohammad is said to have preached with a cat in his arms. The Romans brought the first domestic cats to Britain, where they were highly prized. There were severe penalties to anyone who stole or killed an adult cat. In Saxony, Henry the Towler imposed a fine of 60 bushels of corn for the wilful murder of an adult inouser. XYith the Middle Ages the cat became the symbol of black magic and many cats were burned at the stake together with their owners who were condemned as witches. This was the dark era for cats and in France cats were burned as sacrinces until the practice was forbidden by Louis XIII. Gradually throughout Europe, this persecution died out and many famous people kept cats as pets. Dr. johnson and Victor I lugo were devoted to their cats. In the Victorian era the cat was again coming into its own. Cat shows were begun and different and new breeds established, there was a great demand for cat pictures and statues and ornaments made in their likeness. To-day the cat is very much in the public eye, and we are once again becoming a nation of cat lovers. Cat, nowdays have become a profitable business, and source of employment. There are thousands of factories turning Ollf millions of tins of food, baskets, collars, brushes, combs, blankets, toys and inedicens - all for cats. In fact some of us almost worship, and pay as much attention to, the domestic cat as did the ancient lfgyptians.

The dream of every student is to become a Prefect. Then they will have power, privileges, and com- parative freedom from chastisement. That's what you think! The title of Prefect carries with it the burden of being the example at all times, injaundiced in judgment, and impartial towards all. These are just a few of the connotations of that name. Granted, there are privileges, and there is comparative free- dom. Ilowever, the responsibility that is placed on your shoulders, at times becomes a burden indeed. You become weary of always being an example, of always ordering people around, and above all of the lack of friends. XVhen you become a Prefect, you must place yourself above the main student body and obey the rules yourself to the strictest letter of the law. No, the task is not an easy one, and it is very seldom a rewarding one either. Un the other hand, what the position does for you far outweighs the small inconveniences. Pride in yourself, a sense of responsibility, good judgment, and a sense of fair play. The things are gained inwardly, they do not show, but they are there to help and guide you for the ICSE of your life. To you who have aspirations of being Prefects, remember this one thing, you must be prepared to take orders, and strong criticism from the staff and boys, and be able to face the task before you with the knowledge that you are not winning a popularity contest, and that your responsibility to the school, or any other organisation in later life, comes first. To be a Prefect is a small thing in life, but it is the small things that unite, and determine the type of life you will lead in the future.

EXVING - U VI IS READING A LOST ART? Is reading a lost art? This is a controversial question that seems to crop up quite often nowadays. It is discussed along with such other favourite topics as the weather and politics at parties, luncheons, and everywhere else that people congregate for idle chatter. It is a generally accepted fact that reading is on the decline in some ways. Reading had its best days around the last half of the nineteenth century. The main reason for this is that there weren't other mediums of entertainment such as movies, radio and television. The first few decades of the twentieth century brought movies and radio into the icture. These, however, did not have a verv marked effect on reading U 116 THE ASHBURIAN popularity. By far the biggest enemy of reading has been television. Since its advent about two decades ago, television has become so popular that now practically every North American family has a television set and spends an average of four hours a day watching it. Naturally this has seriously cut into reading popularity, in North America at least. Reading has not declined quite so much in England, for two reasons. First, television is not quite so much of a time consuming pastime, and secondly the British are more avid readers by nature. As far as Continental Europe, Africa and Asia go television has had practically no effect on them. However a great number of these people, especially in Africa and Asia, are illiterate and can't read anyway. So it appears that reading has had its greatest loss of popularity in North America. However it might be worth pointing Ollt that news- papers and magazines have bigger cireulations than ever before through- out the North American continent. Although this is not reading in the usual way we think of it, it is a form of reading, and television has certainly not cut into its o ularity. Finally it might be wgiribh pointing out that as far as the different types of literature go, the only one to retain popularity is the novel. Other forms of literature such as poetry are still read by the eonoisseurs of fine literature, but are generally disregarded by the average man. To sum up then, reading has lost some popularity, especially on this continent of ours, but to say that it is a lost art would be being narrow- minded and ridiculous. Reading has always been a popular pastime and as long as there are good authors to Write interesting books, reading will never be a lost art. TRooP - VIC THE SILENT XYITNESS The tree . . .

As the tall chap slides back the broad door, the timid holsteins rustle in their places, and Prince, the old work horse, lifts his weary head to give a gruff greeting, for he knows only too well that soon he will leave his cozy stall, and be led into the fields to work. XYhen the ranch hand's milking is completed he brings the milk to be separated. Then as he heads across the farm yard to help little Pedro with a grain sack he notices the white smoke curling from the chimney of the farmhouse, which is his signal for him and his fellow ranchhands to head over for a healthy breakfast before a long day's work.

The specific incidents in this novel can be given a universal significance in life itself. The old man is mankind in general. The marlin is not his enemy, but an aspiration or a goal towards which he strives, and which is often beyond attainment. The sea is life, or fate and it is with fate that man must struggle. The sharks are merely the instruments of fate that bring man to his inevitable defeat. In the tragedy, defeat is inevit- able, and it is in the way that man accepts this defeat that the true victory lies. In The Old Man and the Sea , after the old man has won the first round of the fight in finally conquering and killing the great marlin, the inevitability of his defeat is shown in the abrupt but significant sentence It was an hour before the first shark hit him . From this point on, the old man's defeat is inevitable, and the rest of the story serves only to show how he accepts this defeat. However, it is in this part of the story that the true significance lies. From the moment he sees the first shark, the old man knows hc is beaten, but he refuses to accept this defeat. In his battle with the Hrst shark, even when he is attacking the shark wit.i the harpoon, he knows that it is useless. He hit it without hope, but with resolution and complete malignancy . . THE ASHBURIAN 119 The old man's chances become even slimmer as his fish has been partially mutilated, and as a result, it leaves a stronger scent for more sharks. Still the old man is determined and resolute. lle says But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated . As shark after shark comes, the old man never gives up, but tights back with everything he has. XVhen the blade breaks on the knife that he has lashed to an oar, he fights the sharks off with a club. Fight them , he said. l'll fight them until I die . lt is not until the carcass is stripped clean that the old man accepts the fact that he has been defeated. When he arrives back at the village, completely exhausted and almost in a daze, he moors his boat as usual, and carries his mast to his shack. He knows that no-one would steal the mast, but goes through the agony of carrying it home for the simple reason that he always did it before, and although he has been beaten in one battle, he has not been conquered. He refuses to admit that this return from fishing was any different from any other, and just as before, he would venture forth again and challenge the sea. The old man has been badly beaten, but is still unconquered, and it is in this indomitability of human character that the essence of true tragedy lies.

Bruce has been after everybody with any interest, voluntary or obligatory, ever since the beginning of the Spring Term. Ilis quiet manner was rather deceiving, as those who failed to meet his deadline discovered. Do not be surprised if one day he is editor of the Citizen or the journal ! To those who enquire why they have to write this or that, the Editor had a ready answer. It is surely enough reason that you will see your name in print? XYhat has happened to boys that it is no longer an honour to be coveted to see your name as the author of some cultural achievement, or the captain of some winning team? Bruce made no apology to any Junior who was required to submit any item. On the other hand there are those who do try, but do not have their work published. To those, might we offer an encouraging word, and suggest that they keep on trying. One day their work must meet the requirements of the Editor-in-Chief. L. I. H. EDITORIAL In writing this Editorial, I would like to thank all those responsible for the eventual publication of this, the seventh issue, of The junior Ashburianf' It is easily understood, that there could be no magazine without co-operation, and even if the co-operation was forced some- times, we did manage to finish the job before the announcement of the M.L.T.S. boys. To these fellows Qincluding myselfl the Editorial Staff offer congratulations. With such wonderful weather, it will not be hard to find things to do while those other poor guys write their exams. One thing should be pointed out to our readers. Nearly every boy has had something to do with the magazine. Those who were not able to write poems or stories, or those who did not have the honour of being the captain of a team, were collecting pictures. IYith everyone bearing the yoke . as the saying goes, this has been a reasonably good junior Ashburianv. BRUCE IDEACON-EJIIOI' ,H THE ASHBURIAN JUNIOR H OUSEMASTERS NOTES The juniors have another school year behind them. To a ten year old this is a long step forward. For teachers, indeed for most of us in the adult world, the years otfer little change as they pass. Not that they are dull, certainly it is quite the opposite in the teaching world! Llach vear, however, is a full unit in a boy's life, and the school year ahead always offers much to look forward to. There are many mile- stones duriing the course of a junior School career. It may be the expectation of moving from the Track to the National Hockey League, of moving from Mrs. Dalton to Mrs. Hunter, or from Mrs. Hunter up to the harsh xvorld of masculine teaching. The privilege of going to the Tuck Shop in the morning comes about half way along the course. The responsibility of being a Monitor, or playing on one of the first teams comes toward the end. liach step looms large in the mind of a boy. Two new school ties were introduced this year, the junior Monitors tie, and the Chapel tie. Both are quite handsome. There is a program of outside reading in the junior School which has perhaps shifted a few vacant eyes from the television screen. The books are chosen mainly for excitement: Sherlock Holmes, john Buchan, the Hornbloxver series, even Eric Ambler. Saturday excursions were arranged for those boarders who stayed at school on weekends. The general tidiness of the boys' room was maintained at quite a high level throughout the year, with particular praise going to Rooms 3 lil il D. L. POLK MEMORIAL XVING NOTES This year has been a better year than last. Mr. Beique and Mr. Daratha have kept an eye on things. We have again used the lsland in the big llouse which is a room in the senior school. livery year Hr. Polk and the other masters get together and pick the best room in the wing for the room prize. The room that wins is sent to a movie and supper. The six monitors this year have helped the masters to rule the wing. This way worked very well, and everything ran smoothly. ' ' XYc will all be glad to see Mr. Beique and Mr. Daratha back next year and all hope that everything xvill run smoothly again. Xlr. Polk was very kind to us all and we all thank him. The lVi71KQ C 07lI71li17IdC7', S.-xxnv Parrox THE ASHBURIAN 125 Cl I.-XPEL NOTES In a Christian community, the centre of all activity must be the house of worship. Therefore it is not surprising that the Choir, under the direction of Mr. Godfrey Hewitt, has made the Chapel services memorable. The Candlelight Carol Service, the singing on Palm Sun- day, and the Easter Festival of the Nine Lessons and Carols are three outstanding events, not likely to be forgotten by those taking part, nor by the congregations present. One wonders how Nlr. llewitt finds time to do so much, and it was not surprising to hear of his illness. l am happy to report that he has made a complete recovery. Our amiable Chaplain. Rev. Bevan Monks, on his weekly visits to the Junior School for Religious Knowledge periods has continued to be a popular person among the Juniors. VYC would like him to know that we appreciate the daily Nlorning Chapel. XYhat better way could we start our day than that? The Row Monitors have been a great help in checking on attend- ances. The number of late boys became less and less, thanks to these Monitors. God bless you all. JANIIE AIC.-XL'I.AY, Chapel .IIUIIITOV JUNIOR POETRY READING CONTEST This year, following last year's example, so many boys signed for the contest that preliminary readings had to be heard. IYith The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost as the set piece, approximately twenty boys entered. It took courage for Barnes in Form II to match himself against Transitus boys, and for other ''non-intellectualsu to join the ranks. The contest was so close that live boys were sent to the finals. Professor Johnson from Carleton University again consented to judge this close contest, and, after many stimulating pieces of poetry had been read by the contestants, the nod was given to John Read. XYQ look forward to as much keen competition next year as we had this year. Jonx RIIAIJ - Trans. A JUNIOR PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST With five entries in the annual Public Speaking Contest, the Junior School had the largest contribution to make to this event. Bruce Deacon spoke Hrst on Science in the Bible . It was a learned topic. full of traps, particularly on pronounciations. but so much prior thought had gone into the topic. Bruce managed to sustain the interest of the audience. I have one criticism to make - he handled his notes badly. Next speaker was Jamie Nlc.-Xulay. whose unfortunate habit of not holding his head up spoiled his well-prepared, interesting, topical dis- ,M THE ASHBURIAN cussion on habits and customs of the contemporary people of the C.S.S.R. To follow jamie, we had Harris Stein. This contestant made a great impact on the fellow contestants and the audience, speaking on The Conquest of the Air . Although his speech was learned by heart, this did not detract from its forcefulness. His ability to include every member of the audience, and his cultivated use of hand gestures made his speech an obvious winner. David Hay's discussion of Sport in Australia was most interesting and effective. David had spent some time research, and had prepared his notes well. His particularly dramatic conclusion earned the admira- tion of the judge. Concluding the section was Keith McNair's vibrant appeal for better understanding between Canadians and our neighbours to the South. His comparison of our mutual needs in the matter of defence was well handled, and he is to be congratulated on attempting such a difficult subject for a Grade VIII boy. L. I. H. S. - judge HUMANE SOCIETY ESSAYS For a number of year now our English teacher, Mr. Spencer, has been urging us to put more effort into our annual essays for the Rock- cliffe Auxiliary's awards. Again this year we made him happy, for more by good luck than clever management I was awarded this most prized trophy, and as well as the large silver horse coming to Ashbury for the year, I have a smaller model to remind me of my success. Douglas MacKenzie received second prize and john Read honourable mention. At an assembly for the junior School, Mr. Spencer, our English Master spoke to us and then presented the prizes. Other Awards were: Form I1 Form IIIA Form IIIB Nicolas Day David Berger Simon Adamson Michael Dollin Stockwell Day Duncan Gow Mark lillis Chris Chown john Nelms TIIE ROYAL COMMONXVEALTH SOCIETY For quite a while now the boys from Grade 6 and 7 have been writing an essay for the Royal Commonwealth Society. Tfiese essays compete with essays from all the other schools in Ottawa. In previous years we have done very well and this year was no exception. Out of the six finalists three were from Ashbury, and although we didn't win first prize, john Read did place second. The other two finalists from Ashbury were Bruce Deacon and Douglas MacKenzie. THE ASHBURIAN THE CHESS TOURNAMENT 127 As in many years past, during the IVinter Term, the chess fever hit the Junior School. As usual, just about everybody took part. It was enjoyed by all the juniors. Ian Cumming emerged as thc champion.

These are quotes from Leonard Bernstein at a Youth Concert of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. ln the Xlusic Apprecia- tion classes of the junior School at Ashbury our aim is to develop a love and understanding of music. In the early grades. self-expression, by means of rhythmic creative experience, is encouraged. ln the advanced Forms, the listening lesson forms the greater part of the course. The stress is on the music itself, but in order to create interest throughout the year, projects on the lives of the composers, and the correlation, when possible, of the art-history of the period has been an additional part of the course. In some Forms the fundamentals of staff notation have been intro- duced by the playing of tonettes. Piano students who have been successful in passing the examinations of the Royal Conservatory of Xlusic are:- DONALD STEvExs - Grade VIII piano fhonoursj Grade II theory Clst class honoursp GEOFF GRAX' - Grade VIII piano Chonoursj Grade II theory Clst class honoursj DUNCAN NICLAREN - Grade II piano Grade I piano Chonoursb GERALD BENSKIN - Grade I piano IRENE IYOODBURN THE ASHBURY XYRITERS' CLUB Late in 1961 the Ashbury XYriters' Club was formed by Nlr. C. Hughes. The object of this club was to give students a chance to express their ideas, the other members commenting. In this way, and with a few suggestions from Mr. Hughes it was hoped that perhaps some student's talent in writing be discovered and developed. Members wrote poems, compositions, stories, etc., in their spare time, read these to the other club members, and then joined in a general discussion on the subject. Of course the main object of the club sessions was to have those students, who were sincerely interested in writing enjoy the intrinsic values of writing for its own sake and thus perhaps nurture a natural delight in and enthusiasm for language use in its own right. Suitable junior School members were selected by Nlr. Hughes. The club membership totalled about twelve boys originally and those 1,0 THE ASHBURIAN attending the first meeting enjoyed refreshments provided by Mr. Hughesf However, as the club settled down to serious workw and the food and drink disappeared from the programme, the membership dwindled to a solid club core of about six boys who were seriously interested in the enjoyment of apt writing and expression. During the meetings which have been held, many subjects have been discussed, such as:- Mad Magazine, individual compositions, and famous poems. At one time a XYriter's Test , from a XYriters' School in Connecticut, was tried bv some of the boys - with somewhat hilarious results. i At the last meeting held, about five boys attended, something that many might consider 'La disgraceful performancen, as far as evidence of interest is concerned, but rather we felt that, having winnowed away the chaff, the worthwhile seeds of interest in those remaining might better be brought to proper development in the intimate atmosphere of a select seminar group. S. H. EXDAIXISON FORM IIIA CLASS TOUR Saturday, May 10th was a great day for our Form. Together with the Boarders in the junior School, we were going to the St. Lawrence Seaway and Upper Canada Village. VVe had been assured by our Form Master, Mr. Spencer, that the trip had been well planned - but who should be five minutes late for the bus but You-Know-VVho! lt was quite dull when we started out, and an ideal day for such a long trip. VVhen we arrived at the Seaway, we found we were ex- pected, and we received the V. I. P. treatment. After a specially conducted tour, we saw an hour-long movie on the planning and con- struction of the seaway. This was very informative, and had been made interesting by the producers. After thanking the guides who had been so good to us, we set out for Long Sault Park, where we had lunch. By this time the sun was shining, and we had a pleasant hour there. Next on the programme was Upper Canada Village. Imagine our thrill when travelling along the roadway we heard an Ontario Provincial Police Car's siren screaming along behind us. But what a shock when he signalled our Bus driver into the edge of the road. Some silly clot had thrown a bottle out the window of the bus. Anyone who knows Mr. Spencer will appreciate that he was livid with rage when he discovered the reason for the stop. The nameless character who was responsible was not very popular because he had spoiled a wonderful day. XVhen the atmosphere cleared, we breathed a sigh when told that we would continue to Upper Canada Village, which was not yet officially opened to the public. And they had heard about the bottle incident. We really thought that the Supervisor meant it when he said that he would not let us in. THE ASHBURIAN 131 Wihat an interesting place it is, too. The guides divided the boys into two groups, and although we were not allowed inside any of the buildings there, it was interesting enough to make every boy want to return there when the place is open to the public. VVe arrived back at School at 5 p.m., after a very full day. XYe were all tired, but not too tired to express our gratitude to our Form Master. Thank you once again, Nlr. Spencer. IAN AIACKIQXZIIC, Form lllfl IIIB CLASS TRIP On April 13th our class went to the Pure Spring factory. We left school at one o'clock and when we got to the Pure Spring factory we were met by Bob Alartin who took us to see the laboratory. He showed all the chemicals which are put together to make the syrup. We watched the bottles being cleaned by great machines. The syrup was put into the bottom of the bottles and then the water was put into the bottles. The water is purified once again after the gov- ernment has purified it. Alen look through the bottles to make sure the syrup and water are clean of any dust. Next the bottles have caps put on them and the bigger bottles have paper labels pasted on them. After the bottles have their labels and bottle caps put on they are placed in cartons which are taken up by a kind of elevator to the next floor. After a little while they are loaded onto trucks and taken to stores. After we had been shown the manufacture of Pure Spring soft drinks we were taken upstairs where Bob Alartin gave us all a drink, and we returned to school. DoL'o1.As Gow - 11113 .IUNIOR SCHOOL LIBRARY Thanks to the generosity of Alr. Perry, the Headmaster, and the Life Nlagazine, Ashbury now has a set of scientific books worthy of any Library. The books have been in constant demand, and great care has to be taken to ensure that no damage is done to them by careless little guys who haven't the urge to look after other people's property. The most ardent borrower from the Library has been your Librar- ian! Sometimes my keen desire to acquire knowledge has received the full benefit of the wrath of some of the teachers. TYhy don't more of you fellows in Transitus, especially Transitus B, spend some of your spare time - and you have lots of it - coming more regularly to the Library? The collection of books there now covers a wide field, and we are sure to have something to your taste. To my successor l offer best wishes for a good library year.

OIUNIOR SOCCER TEAM XYith the usual schedule of games against Selwyn House School and Sedbergh School, plus the junior Hockey League we were kept very busy during the season. The most memorable game was that played in Xlontreal against Selwyn House, when the entire game was played in the rain, and the referee and the two coaches finished up as wet and miserable as the players. Because it had been such a hard day, the bus made a stop on the return trip to give all the players of both teams a frezlf. The Team would like the coach to accept the thanks of all those who participated. lt was not his most successful season of his career, but we did the best we could to repay him for his hard work.

We will remember this year by the fact that all of our matches had very small differences in the scores. Our first match against Bishops was tense. Could we repeat last year's victory? Ilappily for all. it turned out to be a perfect game. the score being tied. The second game. our luck was better. the victory coming to us. At the conclusion of the match we were presented with the UB. C. S. junior School Cricket Cup , which we proudly brought home for the first time in over tive years. Against Sedbergh our luck was not so good. Our first match we lost. this game showing how many holes could be found in our fielding. The second match, however. we managed to sneak past them by a score of only four runs? This was a very exciting game. spiced up by Xlr. Spencer's advice to our players. I would like to express the teiin's thanks to Xlr. Spencer. who coached us to this fine showing 111.1 small iobl. and gave Colours to Gamble and Read for their bowlingf ability. Bobby Scheel was awarded the XI. C. C. bat for the most improved player. Rlhxn-Cf.1pr.zi11 ,gy THE ASHBURIAN HOUSE AND LEAGUE GAMES The usual soccer league was formed this year. Happily, the six teams were almost equal in strength. In the play-offs, Bolton, Luton, Arsenal and XYolverhampton battled it out. The final game saw Bolton Clelurdman-captainJ edging out Luton QPyeHnch-captainj by a score of 2-l. In the House Matches, Connaught added points toward the XYilson Shield by defeating XVoollcombe 5-0. Our National Hocky League saw a close struggle right to the closing rounds when Chicago CAnderson-eaptainj and Montreal CPye- finch-eaptainj tied for the Saxe Cup. Connaught slipped an extra goal past XYoollcombe in the House Matches, Winning 3-2. The House Cricket Matches found Connaught House the champion after an exciting finish. BOXING After an absence of several years, boxing was re-introduced in the junior School. Mr. Polk refereed the matches, and was assisted by Mr. Daratha, Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Beigue who acted as judges. There was always great excitement during the boxing season. The rounds varied in length according to the age and Weight of the boxers. The managers were Patton, Benskin, Cumming and Marshall. There were elimination bouts which led up to the big day of the Finals. VVe hope that the juniors will have boxing every year.

Canadians enjoy a wide variety of XVLIICI' sports such as water-skiing, boating, skin diving, and most important of all, swimming. Many serious accidents are caused by careless and misinformed people. You have heard before, and I repeat again, the most serious hazzard in the water is panic. Panic can cause the death not only of the one in trouble, but also of the would-be rescuer. lt is slowly becoming apparent that people must have some knowledge of first aid, especially for the treatment of shock, which is a combination of panic and the violent exertion of trying to stay afloat. Here are some handy hints to remember:- i. The brain and heart, when suffering from shock, lack circulating blood. ii. There has been a rapid loss of body heat. iii. The first action should be to keep the victim lying still, with the head about twelve inches higher than the feet. iv. Remove wet clothing, even if you have to CLIE it away, and rapidly dry the persons body in order to conserve body-heat. Remember, you may be saving a life, which is much more important than the victims clothes. v. If shelter is near, and you have help, try to make for this shelter. Improvise a stretcher. vi. Apply artificial heat in any way possible. If none is readily avail- able, use your imagination to improvise. vii. If necessary, try your hand at artificial respiration. viii. Never make the mistake of giving the victim alcohol. Hot tea or coffee, if available, but never the strong stuff . Happy summer kids. Remember THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YCUR OXVN. :ANDY GAMBLE-IIIA THE MOGN The moon has a funny face It shines in my face too It is very bright It shines for me and you too. AIARK :XRNIITAGE - Form I , d 15, THE AsHBUR1AN KEEPING A HORSE A lot of boys and girls would like to have their own pony or horse that they can ride whenever they want. VVell, there is a lot more than just riding the horse. You must have a place to exercise the horse, a place for it to graze and a place for shelter Cnamely a barnl. A space of three acres or more is advisable. In this space one can have his barn and an exercising ring. Around the field you need a fence about four and a half feet high. The best fencing to use is a fence that has rectangles which nailed to posts about ten to fifteen feet wide and nailed to the top of the posts a single strand of barbed wire to keep the horse from rubbing and breaking the fence. The exercising ring called the paddock should be fenced separately usually with bars and posts. You should have your barn near the paddock. One can't always get some land or a barn but he can keep his horse at a boarding barn, where he pays rent. After you have got a place for your horse to stay you have to look after it, by this I mean grooming, feeding and keeping the horse in health. Grooming means brushing the horse every day and cleaning the dirt off the horse. A lot of people think that just giving the horse any old hay is good enough but it isn't. The horse must be given good hay or in summer fed good green grass and not green weeds. Then the horse should be fed grain once a day C good time to do this is when you are grooming the horsej. Another thing which I have forgotten to mention is to make sure that the horse has plenty of fresh water. Then after one has looked after the horse he has to have a saddle, bridle and halter. You have to keep these pieces of tack in condition by soaking them with saddle soap. Now that you know a bit about horses, you will think twice about asking for a pony. AAIACLAREN III - Trans. A JUST DREAMING I sometimes sit and wonder About what causes thunder, And about all those things Of which a boy can dream. Of soccer in the Fall, And hockey in the winter, Uf running in the spring And which bat has the better swing And when my rapture's broken, By the clanging of a bell, I go into class. and another day begins. ALLAN EWART- Tram. A THE ASHBURIAN iss PRUJECT MERCURY Malcolm Scott Carpenter lived to tell a stranger-thawfiction storv of how he orbited the earth three times, overshot his landing by 250 miles and vanished for +1 minutes. This was another great achievement in man's conquest of outer- space. The mission brought to light new dangers - the hazards of missing landing target areas - and pointed toward solutions of some problems of man in space. It opened up, too, new vistas of voyage by satellite and may have even advanced the LYS. manned spaceship programme beyond the phase of three, five or even seven orbit flights and on to the field of 18-orbit, all day missions. The launching of Carpenters Aurora 7 spacecraft at 8:45 a.m. E.D.T. was a perfect one. He completed the first orbit at 10:19 a.m. going at a speed of 17,532 miles an hour. Each orbit took approx- imately 1 hour and 50 minutes. On the second orbit he fCarpenterJ released a balloon divided into five sections of different colours. Carpenter took pictures of it, to determine which colours man can best perceive in outer space. Rapid fuel consumption in his Aurora 7 spaceship caused great concern during his second orbit. But after careful consultation with the pilot. the Mercury Control centre reported: We see no reason why he shouldn't continue into the third orbit, but we emphasize that he limit his fuel consumption. Near the end of the third orbit, the really alarming news came when Carpenter fired the retro-rockets that would retard his speed sufficiently to make the capsule drop out of orbit and descend through the atmosphere. Normally the heat of IC-6I1II'y cuts off radio communication for a minute or two, but Aurora 7, silent at 1:30 p.m. E.D.T., never regained its voice. lt overshot its destined landing point C800 miles south-east of Cape Canaverall and plunged into the ocean 1,000 miles south-east of the Cape. It simply disappeared. Carpenter climbed out of his space craft and got into a rubber dinghy. lt took +1 minutes before a helicopter from the carrier Intrepid sighted him and two more hours till his rescue at approximately -1:30 p.m. E.D.T. At that time he had been gone from the Cape for seven hours and +5 minutes. The capsule was recovered successfully several hours after- ward. He was then taken to Grand Turk Island. where he was put under observation for a few days. There was relief and gladness in the successful completion of this important mission which confirmed the conclusions arrived at when John Glenn's first American orbital flight took place.

Davin Bitmsigu - III--1 156 THE ASHBURIAN CORTEZ AND THE AZTECS First S C0110 In a little town in the South VV est of Portugal there lived a boy named Hernando who was born in the year 1485. He was to become the greatest conquerer in all Mexico. VVe open our play as We see Hernando and his friend juan talking on the docks. juan- Come on Hernando, we'll be late for the bullHght . Hernanda- Oh, I don't care, but just look at that ship, I expect it's going to Africa or India or even China . juan- lYell, maybe it's off to Italy or . . . Hernando- or it might be going to explore an island and find some treasure . . . juan Cwarming to the subjectj- or to have a battle with some pirates . Hernando- Oh, I would give everything to be able to lead my soldier's against some brown-skinned nation, plunder and burn citys like kindling wood, be made an emporer and have a treasure of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, saphires, gold and silvern. juan- Yes, but we don't have a chance of ever getting out of Nledellinn. Hernando- I suppose your right, but it's fun to dream . Second Scene Several years later Cortez asked the governor of Cuba Velasquez for a party of soldiers, so that he could explore the mainland .... Cortez- But governor, a voyage to the mainland would be a boon to Spainw. Velasquez- I know senor, but an exploration on that scale would cost thousands of pesos, but for your sake I will let you go with 600 men instead of l,200, and also 6 ships instead of 14- . Cortez-'4Thank you Sir, you are most kind, Adios Amigo . Third Scene So, Cortez a brave adventurer, has now got his ship, sailors and soldiers, and we now see him on board ship landing in the Aztec country, Mexico . First Mate- Land Ho . Second Mate - Land ho, Sir . Cortez- Thank you Mr. Bandle. Ah, this is the day l've been wait- ing for, to finally reach the Mainland . Second Mate- Sir look, a group of natives on the beach . Cortez- And look at that girl on the beach. She sure is pretty . Second Mate- Lower those lifeboatslw Cortez- Yes, yes, to the shore! THE ASHBURIAN 157 On the beach Cortez meets the native girl and loves her so much he marries her. She, acting as a guide and interpreter, leads this party to Montezuma, the king of the Aztecs. In .Nlontezuma's chamber:- Cortez Cseizing Xlontezumal- Tell your guards to drop their weapons. Now, this is to insure my safety, but I also want a room full of gold, silver and jewels . Montezuma-CcontemptuouslyJ- Get him his jewels . Cortez- Ah, that's better! Now, we want . . . And so as Cortez fortilies the palace, the governor has informed a man named Narvez to bring Cortez back. Cortez hears of this and takes 400 men to attack Narvez. F ozfrtb Scene Under the cover of night Cortez and his 400 men advanced on Narvez and after a brief skirmish successfully vanquished the king's emissary. Then, upon hearing of a planned uprising of Montezuma he has to return to the Capitol. Finally in NIontezuma's chamber:- Cortez- Sir, quell this uprising or I will detach your head from your body . Montezuma- Mercy, mercy! Cortez- VVill you do as I say? Montezuma- Mercy, please mercy! Y Cortez Cpushing the emporer asidej- Ah, the old fool! Soldier- Sir, the mob is smashing the gates . Cortez- Take our three cannons, position them in front of the gates. Then take one barrel of gun powder and wedge it under the gate . . . Soldier- Yes, I see Sir . Five minutes pass, during which an explosion is heard. Then . . . Soldier- They,ve broken through, Sir. Some have been killed but many are unhurt . Cortez frunning outj- To Arms!! Then a short battle ensues during which Cortez is killed. The Spaniards defeat the Aztecs. For his bravery Cortez was awarded the Order of Gallantry. P. THL'RS'fON-TIHHS. A TRICK OR TREAT Hitches and Goblins Run down the street Knocking on doors everywhere Looking for a trick or a treat. PETER FIQATICEK - Form I Us THE ASHBUMAN MODEL RAILROADING Model Railroading is a very interesting hobby. You can start a lavout with any guage Csizej HO guage is most preferred as a hobby. O' guage CLionelJ trains are really a little too big for a basement layout as HO are nearly half the size of O. There are many companies that make HO equipment. These companies use the same track and the same couplers. M'hen you start a layout you should first purchase a piece of ply- wood. -V X 8' is a good size. You then should plan a layout of the track or build it up on a roadbed. Then scenery or terrain should be planned. It is very simple to make. A piece of screen with plaster over it. Before it dries pieces of cork look very much like rock. Ordinary household paint is suitable for painting the mountains. Lichen is very effective for trees and shrubs. The next step is to plan a town. You can either buy plastic models of buildings or make your own out of balsa wood. With a little work you can produce a very nice layout. Model Railroading is a lot of fun, you should try it some day! CHowN-IHA THE BIG MATCH It was May 19, a very line day, Bishops came to Ashbury, cricket to play, Some treated the game with great exultation, Others sat apart, in mild resignation. At the toss of the coin, Ashbury won, We decided to Held, and have some fun, They sent out their batsmen, full of defiance, We looked to our bowlers, on whom we placed our reliance. Me put them out slowly, and very expensively, And then settled down, to play defensively, Our wickets fell, our hopes diminished, One man left, and we would soon be finished. Fifty runs on the board, nine to make, ln came our last batsman, willing to take Chances to win, to take the match, All we could do was sit and watch. The ball was bowled, he took a fix On the fast moving object, and hit it for six, The next ball came, hugging the floor, And then it was over, he had hit it for four. JOHN RE.-xo-Travis. A THE ASHBURIAN 159 THE GANG OF YL'l.IT XYhen I was just a little bum, Before I went to school, I had a crowd of fortv toughs I called the Gang of Yule. Of every size, from great big guys And little half-pint slobs, I To renegades and kicked out lumps From many other mobs. They used to go on raiding trips Around the stores for me, I always stayed at the H.Q., fThe safest place to bel. They stopped at every single shop From Downtown to Eastview, To half-inch all the costly things To fill up our H.Q. lYith candy-floss and chocolate bars Whipped from the candy stores, And chips and nuts and ice-cream cones They picked up at Loblaws. VVith 'lectric trains and cycle lamps And all that kind of jazz, And great big five lb. hunks of cheese That Simpson-Sears has. lYith gloves and fags from unlocked cars, And coke from A 8: P, And bubble-gum tapped machines, A lovely sight to see. And even after I was big, And had to go to school, I'd think about the layabouts That formed the Gang of Yule. S. H. Aniursox - Farm IIIB SPRING FLOXYERS Daffodils are gay Tulips bloom in Xlay. RUPER1' S'i'oDDARn-STONES - Form I 160 THE ASHBURIAN IRAN - LAND UF RUGGED MGUNTAINS AND DESERT Has Ashbury ever had a bov from Persia enrolled before? Perhaps vou would like to know something about my country, other than that we have a Shah who has been married several times. People sometimes do not realise that our country is nearly 900 miles, north to south and 1,400 miles east to west. Included in our population of sixteen million are more than three million nomads, that is, people who do not have a permanent home, and just wander from year to year, going to places where they hope to find work. Salty, sandy deserts cover two thirds of the plateau, and this plateau is frequently 5,000 feet high, a fact often neglected by those who criticise our COllI1t1'y. Have you seen the great inland sea on the map? It is the salty Caspian Sea on the northern end of the country. Unfortunately we only have one river of navigable size - the Karun. You will appreciate the difficulty I had when I came to this country of Canada because we have a different alphabet to yours. You have heard Klr. Spencer talking about Arabaic Qwhen he gets wound up about the war yearslb. That is the language we speak and write. Among the better educated people, French is the language of com- munication, which made it all the more difhcult for me. Iran produces a wide variety of produce: dates, figs, barley, cotton and tobacco. In fact, most of the dates that go into the date squares Mark makes in the kitchen come from my country. Salt is another source of income, and petroleum, from which you get the gas to drive your ears, comes from Persia, too. Tehran, the capital, has a population of 65 0,000. You can see that we are not people who live in crowded cities. This could be because we are not industrialised. The only other large city is Tabriz, about the same size as Ottawa. The HLand of the Lion and the Sun has a long history as you will discover when you do history in Transitus A. Persian carpets were once the pride and joy of Canadian house-proud hostesses, and even around Ashbury there are still some Persian carpets, relics of a former, pre-war glory. Did you know that Persian people were the mediums through which lend-lease goods were delivered to Russia during the last war? It was the American army which helped to modernise some of our small industry. Persians have always been called talkative, witty people. VV e are instinctively polite, quick to observe, and fast to learn. Perhaps my Form Master won't agree with this, but that is the reputation we have! ! My year at Ashbury has been a very happy one, and as I prepare to go home for the summer, l say happy times to my friends in Ottawa. F ARROKH SHANGHAI-IIIA THE ASHBURIAN 161 OTHER SHEEP XYhile I am but a boy, I know, I've read some thrilling books 'Bout darkest Africa - and so, I'll tell you how it looks. I simply read, as most boys do - from adventurous disposition - But of the boys who read, how few, think of a foreign mission? And vet these books 've been known to make men leave their homes for fame! But how many leave home for jesus' sake, to preach His Holy Name? RALLY! And why of sons of Christian birth, should God cry out in vain? He, too, needs soldiers, men of worth, who'll bear a little pain. Do we not hear the heaven cry, as Christ died on the tree, XYith His last breath, My God, O why, has Thou forsaken me? Then rally ye sons of Christian birth. unite in one grand prayer, To make God known throughout the earth, loved, worshipped everywhere. T. H. - Trims. B THESE I HAVE LGVED The murmur of the trees sighing in the breeze, The early morning sun shining on a lake, VVatching the sunset and the birds that sing. Models and drawings that I like to make. Colour in autumn is another wonderful thing, Sports cars roaring down a dusty track, The country church and the bells that ring, Lazing in the sun upon mv back, Palm trees swaying 'long a sandy shore, Maple sugar in the spring that'll come no more. All these things I love the most, So to them all I'll raise a toast! BRUCE NIARSHALL-Trans. B 1 J 16: THE ASHBURIAN l MY VISIT TO THE TOIYER OF LONDCN The most enjoyable day I had in England was when we visited the Tower of London. First we went to the courtyard and found a guide who took us around for some time. Then we went to see the old guns. Among them were some cannons from ships. After that we went to see the man who was in charge of the Beefeaters in the tower. They were dressed in scarlet and gold and looked very smart. The most interesting place was the XYhite Tower. In it were suits of armour from very long ago. It also had a good collection of pistols and muskets. There were models of knights in their real armour. Next we went to see the collection of swords and shields. After that We went home for it was quite a tiring day. BARNES-Il MY TRAVELS Of all the places I have been, Stayed in, and have seen, My heart is at a dreadful loss To choose the most magnificent thing I My eyes have ever come across. Britain has a lot of interesting places, Historic sights, and glamorous faces. Your ambition, we hope, would be, To pay a visit to Buckingham Palace And sight the ruling monarchy. V One of the most fascinating I have seen I Is the country of Thailand, its King and Queen. The Grand Palace do see if you are able, I And the gold on the Royal Barge, too, Are some of the sights on your timetable. Canada, the land of the Maple Leaf, The Mountie, the Eskimo, and Mr. Dief. My poor old heart has begun to wonder U'hich is the more spectacular- The lovely lakes or the mountain splendour. I My homeland is where mv fond gaze will fall, L For I think 'tis the best of them all. XYhen e'er you happen to hear people say That Australia is the land o' their dreams, . You have to believe them in everv way. .5 i Davin H.XX'-Tf117IS. A 'i ft tl THE ASHBUIUAN ms A STRANGIF. HOBBY I am sure you have heard about a lot of weird hobbies but I read just recently about a very strange hobby. I won't blame you if you don't believe it because I didn't believe it at first either. The rookie pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals finds this a wonder- ful sport. In the swamp behind his cottage there are some crocodiles. In his spare time he goes out in a boat in the middle of the swamp and puts his arm into a metal cylinder that is wider at one end and on this part he puts the bait. W'ith his free hand he holds onto a railing in the boat. Then he lowers his arm with the cylinder and waits for Xlr. Crocodile to bite. W'hen it bites the widened part of the cylinder it can't open its mouth wide enough to let go. Then all the man has to do is hold the crocodile under XVQIICI' long enough so that the water will rush in and crocodile being unable to shut his mouth will soon drown. The purpose of the railing is so that the person won't be pulled off the boat, for one slap of the crocodile's tail could easily break the inan's back. I think this is both a strange and cruel sport. W'hat do you think? Srockln DAY I - 111.4 COLONEL GLENNS FLIGHT On the day that the Western W'orld made history by the launching of the first man into space, the entire junior School stopped work to see the take-off. Even though we were sent back to class at the end of the first period, nobody Cand I think that includes the teachersj was interested in anything except Colonel Glenn's Hight. W'e who were privileged to hear it feel as though we were on the spot when history was made. There were several remarks about Polk II being an American, and claims that only he should be beaming that day, and when the announcer said the the people of Perth. Western Australia. had left on their lights for the Astronaut, there were mild cheers for You- know-who. The excitement after Glenn's return to the earth's atmosphere was almost too much for us. W'ill you ever forget the wait while the helicopter searched the ocean? I would not like too much of such suspense. Once again may we say thank you to the school for providing the television and radio coverage that day.

Lao LA FERNIE - Form I 164 THE ASHBURIAN THE FISHING CONTEST lt was the second day that we were at our cottage and that was when we heard about the contest. Since the prize was 3510.00 my father and I agreed to enter. The next day we were out in the boat Hshing. But all we caught was an averaged sized pickerel and a few sunhsh. For the next few days we didn't catch anything very big. One day I was sitting lazily in the boat when suddently a jerk nearly pulled the rod out of my hands. Then when I looked, a big bass jumped two feet out of the water. Boy, what a beauty. I though for sure I had won the contest. For half an hour I struggled with that monstrous fish. Finally he came alongside the boat. just as I was about to net him off he went pulling and jerking, and after ten minutes he was alongside the boat. Again this time he was too tired to run off. The next day we entered our Hsh at the contest and then stood waiting anxiously for the results. Ten minutes later all the contestants were told to line up and the announcer said the biggest fish was 11 pounds caught by Stephen Robertson. Ha! You thought I was going to Win, didn't you? f P. ANKATELL-joNEs-IIIA MY FIRST CAMLEING TRIP On the way to the place we had chosen for our camping site the back of the car was so full that it affected the steering but We got there in one piece. We got there about six o,clock and we unloaded everything and put up the tents and had supper. Then we went to bed. The next morning my mother told us she had heard some clattering in the night and we found a paw print in one of our saucepans. XVC thought it was the paw print of a raccoon but we are not sure. Vl'hen my mother came to look she said there had been some bananas in it. Later we found some banana peel behind a tree not far away. That night it rained very hard and my mother saw a pair of shoes going out the door of her tent on a stream of water which was going through the tent. The next day we could not get a fire started because everything was very wet so we went home. That was the end of our first camp but we hope it won't be our last. S. IIAAIPSHIRE - NIA THE ASHBURI.-iN ms OUR HOLIDAY Last year I went on a trip with my family to a deserted island, where there was an old abandoned lighthouse. As soon as we got there my brother and I explored all of the island except the lighthouse. When we got back supper had already started. so we sat down and LIIC. The next morning our boat was gone. The rope which had held it was cut! Then we saw two men running toward the bay. XYho were they? XYhat were they doing here? There were no other boats on the island that we saw. But what about the lighthouse? He had explored it. IYe decided to look through it. There we found a short-wave radio. XYe radioed for the coast guard. They soon came and we discovered there was a smuggling gang around. They were soon caught and we had no more trouble. However, it was not a very nice holiday, so we shall not go there again. AIARK ELLIS-11 A SOUTH AFRICAN SCHGOL The Christian Brothers School in Cape Town is Catholic, and is run by the Irish Christian Brothers, who are sent from Ireland to any country in the world, where they work in schools and Churches. They receive no pay, only food and board. The school had a marvelous view over Table Bay, and had its own clock tower and tuck shop. There were seventeen classrooms in the school, with seven classes. There was also a quad, a 'tarmac', a grass cricket field, terraces, cricket nets, and a rifle range. In South Africa, coloured and white children are not allowed to go to the same school, so our schodfin Cape Town supported a coloured school in Kimberley. Although some people in South Africa support Apartheid , there are many who are not in favour of it and do all they can to help those not so fortunate as themselves. NIGEL SINIS - IIIA FUN IN AN ATTIC One day I discovered something interesting when I was up in our attic. There I found a trunk with the top closed and locked. I began wondering what was in it and how I could open it. Suddenly I re- membered about some keys I had found a few days before. I ran down stairs to get them and took them up to the attic. The second one I tried worked. U'hen I opened the trunk I saw some papers. Among them was a report card. VI'hen I opened it I saw that it was Dad's re- port card. I examined the marks and they were very poor. I am going to save it until I get my report card. If my marks are low, I shall hand him his card along with mine. B.
