THE ASHBLTRIAN ASHBURY CCJLLEGJC OTTAYS'A VOLUME XLYII 1962 NIR. A. B. BICLCHER Senior Huusemaster and Head of the Iinglish Department 1943-1963 THE ASHBURIAN 3 ilu illllmnnriuiit A. B. Belcher came to Ashbury in january of 1943. lle came with a varied background. llc had graduated froim R.Xl.C. toward the end of the 191-I--18 war, but his first heart attack prevented him from going to Europe. He retired to his country home. During this period he raised rabbits, and later kept bees. He always found time to write, but he found his greatest pleasure in hunting and fishing. For Duke the greatest moments in life came in the faint light of early dawn, his canoe's bow softly swishing as it thrust through the fog-laden waters of a Bobcaygeon lake, then crouching in the hide, a dog silent and alert beside him, both listening and waiting for the first pair of ducks to streak down the lake, Hy up, circle around, and then come in toward the decoys. He did not spend all his life outdoors. He went to New York in the 'twenties and joined the gay literary and theatrical life which flourished in the Village at the time. During this interlude he appeared in a Broadway production. On his return to Toronto he published a book of verse and con- tinued his interest in the stage forming a part of the brilliant young C.B.C. group which centered around Mavor Moore. just before coming to Ashbury he joined the staff of his old school, Ridley, found the school master's life congenial and, happily, came on to us. It is not enough to say that we shall miss him. This goes without saying. Ashbury's loss is deeper than that. It would be more accurate to say that he can never be replaced. Not as a Housemaster, not as an English teacher. Wie will have other housemasters - fine men no doubt. who will have their own effective ways of dealing with the problems of boarding school life. VV e will have other teachers of English, perhaps even better Cthough this is unlikely as Duke was one of the finest teachers of matriculation English in Canadal, but whoever they may be theyqcannot take Duke's place, and it is unlikely that their influence on future generations of Ashbury students will be as forceful and as permanent. Mr. Belcher could express himself verbally or on paper with great clarity. VVhen writing, whether it was a letter to a friend, a precis for an English class, or a poem, he always chose that word or phrase to express the nuance of meaning which gave the exact picture in the reader's mind. Here are two poems he wrote during his recent years at Ashbury. THE ASHBURIAN JUNE, moo Par. Un such a sunset evening, Peace comes bubbling clear, From every well of tulip, From every rose's spring. The great wings of angels, In such a peace are furled, And God runs quiet Hngers Through the tired hair of the world. NIGHT NIOTORBOAT Manacled with flashlights, cumbered with collars, fettered with dogs and gear, we clamber into the lurching hollow of the h Forward, the gemmed frost crystals glow in the ruby and green, while inboard, chapped lips glare in the bulge of the squint-eyed cigarette. Stutters intransigent power - mutters, clutches and catches, swerves from the black cliff of the dark, circles, straightens and strengthens . . . At the river's mouth, we drive the arrow of our sharpened power under the elbow of the leaning moon.

COPEI,AND THE ASHBURIAN 11 EDITCRIAL Can the spirit of a devoted member of the staff, who wrote the Editorials for the School magazine for manv vears, be infused into this vear's article? If so, the writing would show grammatical perfection, confidence in our day to day efforts, and faith in the days ahead. A. B. Belcher was an unusual man. Radiating good humour and a sparkling turn of words he would say that Ashbury, like any ship, has had good years and bad, smooth sunny sailing, and rough passages in stormy seas. There have been poor crews and good crews, expert sailors and those who merely wished to put in time between ports. But he would say that the past, with all its difficulties is past and the thing to do is to look up and ahead, to keep hope high. He would not go to lengths to say that the innate goodness of people would result ultimately in better things because he believed that too many people were thorough rogues or entirely selfish. He did much to improve the thinking of many such people. XVe can sum up part of his philosophy with one of his own fundamental tenets of life: A man's word should be as good as his bond . And here we quote part of his 1953 Editorial. From under the highest eaves mv window affords a fine View of most of Ashbury's acres and much of its outdoor activities. From this coign you can see to the southern boundary of the property, where the street cars sometimes linger to watch the games. To the eastern limit, too, the playing fields are visible, and onlv a small corner to the north-west is concealed by the jut of the building. i In the fall the soccer goals stand in the middle of the field, here is feverish activity, punctuated by an occasional malediction in Spanish and the crunch of shin-bone under toe-cap. Directly beyond. a seething mass of medium-sized football players plunge and tackle, and to the left their smaller counterparts are being taught to give and take. These are the second and third football teams. To the right, the first team bends, and bursts into sudden movement, or are at tackling, or blocking, or signal practice, while farther to the right, but hidden from the eye, there is an indescribable welter of small, shrill masculinity doing something or other violent. This is the fourth team at its chores. And so on, until long after the first prophetic powdering of snow. In the depths of winter you can see the outdoor rink to the left of mid-field. This is an athletic oasis in a surrounding desert of snow. It has been cleared by tractors, and fiooded during the night by mysterious powers. Its boarded sides are buttressed by banks of snow and encircled on the outside by a highway of ice where beginners scramble and stumble. On the rink itself, the serious business of shaping future hockey teams goes forward. Assuredly here at Ashbury we are reinspired with the confidence that our future is constantly widening and brightening and that now we may look for a still more powerful solidarity and singleness of purpose in the march forward toward our goal - a greater Ashbury. 13 THE ASHBURIAN SCHOOL NOTES oPEN1NG DAY September Sth. Back to school. There were, no doubt, super- ficial groans at the prospect, these are expected from a school boy, but nearly every boy was just as happy as his parents that the long summer was over, and he was to fit once again into the routine of school life. The pattern was unchanged. The following morning Mr. Perry spoke to the assembled school. He reminded us that the full life at Ashbury included a heavy percentage of academic effort, pointing out the in- creasingly heavy standards which universities were requiring. This day and the next were devoted to class organization, handing out of books and stationery, form and games assemblies, plotting timetables for the senior boys. By nine o'clock on Monday, September 10th, Ashbury was ready to start its seventy-second academic year. A thought occurs here. In july, 1967, when Canada celebrates one hundred years of nationhood, Ashbury will have just completed seventy-five years. VVe will be three-quarters as old as the country. THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS Shortly after the opening of school, Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence, Chair- man of our Board of Governors, addressed the entire school. He told us to begin with that having himself heard ten such addresses as a school boy, he remembered none of them, then went on to give the boys a message which many of them will remember for a long time. He impressed on the boys that in these troubled days they had a duty not only to themselves, to their parents and to Ashbury, but also to their country. After giving the more senior boys a moment to absorb this responsibility, he lightened all hearts by awarding the traditional Chair- man's half holiday. STAFF CHANGES XYe began the school year with some new staff members. Mlle. M. A. Cordonnier joined us to take middle school Latin and French classes. Major P. L. VV. Platt came to teach science in the middle school. The Rev. E. C. Attwell and Mr. A. Fronton came to fill gaps left by the departures of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Beique in the junior school. ln addition Mr. P. M. Gillean joined the junior school staff as tutor and duty master. XYe were fortunate that Major H. XYoods decided to return to the fold. l le is a duty master in the senior school, in charge of lockers, and general assistant to Mr. Sibley, carrying out many of the chores which help to keep the school running smoothly. THE ASHBURIAN I3 During the year Xlr. Lancaster returned to university in the United States and Mr. B. K. Hillary rejoined .Ashbury to take his place. Nlrs. P. E. Turcotte took over Xlr. Belcher's classes after his death. XYC were most fortunate to secure her services. HEALTH Canadian boys are pretty tough. The combination of this and the good ministrations of the school physician, Dr. Rowan-Legg, and Nurse Bray usually carries Ashbury through a healthy year. This year, how- ever, the 'Hu which laid low the eastern half of this continent spread its germs over Ashbury and we had several weeks when a high proportion of the school was absent. So many boys indeed were away toward the end of the winter term that we cancelled our Easter examinations. There was a stirling silver lining to this cloud, however. for we had a full schedule of classes to replace the examination period and the extra instruction was most valuable, particularly at the matriculation level. Tests were given shortly after the boys' return from the spring holidays. Miss Bray, who has now completed eleven Years at Ashbury, has become an institution within our walls. CAREER SERIES Some years ago Hr. Perry introduced to Ashbury a series of talks which have been called Career Series . These are presented during the winter term on Wednesdays during the last period fthe letter writing periodb. At this time successful Hgures in varied Helds of endeavour are invited to tell the boys of the senior school the pitfalls and advantages of their particular profession. The talks are designed mainly to assist our Grade 12 and 13 boys to choose their career, but many a fifteen year old will get ideas which could decide his future profession. Among those who came to Ashbury this year were: Inspector P. H. Bourassa - R.C.M.P. IV. K. F. Kendrick, Principal of Ottawa Teachers' College - Teaching Dr. bl. S. Pritchard - Dentistry J. Isbister, a student at Queens - XYhat to expect in University Commodore H. V. IV. Groos - R.O.T.P. CADET CAN IP From the ranks of Ashbury's cadet corps have come many who have chosen one of the services as a career and have left their mark on Canada's military or naval history. During the twenties and early thirties Ashbury was one of the most important feeding schools for 14 THE ASHBURIAN R.M.C. This tradition has not been followed in recent years as graduates tend to select universities offering an arts degree, or a course of studies leading to an engineering degree. However, every year Ashbury sends off a selected group of boys to cadet camp and from these groups may well come the future leaders in the Services. Last july six of our boys entrained for the cadet camp at Ipperwash. They were A. IV. Anderson, R. S. Atkins, C. E. D. Bruce, G. D. Heggtveit, M. S. Polk, D. T. Spry. All completed the course and two, Anderson and Spry, were outstanding. Anderson was awarded the Silver Medal as being the second best cadet in the entire battalion which numbered about 1500 cadets. Spry was the company cadet major in the final inspection and received an award for having the best company lines in the battalion. Polk left his name on the record books, although not exactly in the military field, by besting the existing Ipperwash marks in the broad jump and the hop, step and jump. ENTERTAINMENT Saturday night has always been movie night at Ashbury, and Mr. Sibley manages to provide a varied fare of celluloid entertainment to satisfy all ages. The movies are shown in the auditorium of Argyle. A programme of educational movies on Sunday afternoons was added this year. The subjects ranged from IYalt Disney space films, war documentaries, jet travel, through Shakespeare and the soccer cup final. The boys have not been limited to the two-dimensional world of entertainment. Groups attended performances of Twelfth Night and Arms and the Klan. As the latter was included on this year's Grade XIII syllabus, it provided a particularly worthwhile evening. PARENTS' RECEPTIONS Any parent who wishes to discuss a boy's progress for lack of progressj will get in touch with Mr. Perry, Mr. Sibley, the boy's house- master, or subject master. This happens frequently and is a valuable contact. IYe have, however, three formal gatherings during the year, one each term. when the full staff assembles and parents are invited to Ashbury to meet them. The autumn meeting is always well attended, almost two hundred came to the meeting held on November 16th. We hope and expect that a parent will benefit from talking with his son's teacher, certain it is that the staff hnds these chats with parents most helpful. Personal knowledge of a boy's background will often explain misbehaviour or slowness in the classroom, and with this knowl- edge a teacher can better handle the problem. THE .4SHBURlnl.N' If 7 if X Q i THE NEXT' LABORATORY In August last year, the first bricks were put in place for the new laboratory. On November 13th, the first classes were held here. This laboratory is double the size of our old one, and also has a small store- room and workshop included in the construction. It has been built above the new locker room and has an elevated corridor leading into it. Built of cement block construction with dark wood furniture, it has already proven to be of great assistance. It is used primarily for Physics classes, as well as the senior Biology and intermediate laboratory classes. The table tops are of hardwood which has been treated with carbon and linseed oil to make the tops acid resistant. The plumbing includes stainless steel sinks and plastic piping which should last for a long time. There are no windows. and light is admitted through sky-domes, one of the special features of the new laboratory. Blinds have been installed in these domes, so that we can have darkness for light experiments. slide Hlms, etc. The acoustical tile in the ceiling also helps the sound qualities. The old laboratory has been repainted. and new iron gas piping has been installed to conform to the new Ontario laws on natural gas. 16 THE ASHBURIAN MCDTHERS' GUILD The Guild has become a very important part of the Ashbury life. Each year new developments build on the contributions of the previous vear, and this past year has been no exception. The oflicers for 1962-63 were: President, Mrs. Copeland, lst Vice- President, Mrs. Bethune, 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Browning, Secretary, Mrs. Thurston, Treasurer, Mrs. Thurlow, Conveners: Social, Mrs. Deacon, Membership, Mrs. Brown, Telephone, Mrs. Currie. These mothers are the key figures in the organization, of course, however a loyal support comes from a great many parents of Ashbury students, as well as from an encouraging number of those mothers whose boys have graduated, but who still retain an interest in the School. Eight meetings were held during the year, and this year saw an innovation - every second meeting was held in the evening to allow working mothers to attend. The Hrst of these night meetings included a tour of the School. This tour will be repeated next year as it proved to be so interesting for the mothers to see the actual rooms where their sons worked and lived. Perhaps the three highlights of the year's activities were the used clothing sale held in the fall, shortly after the opening of school. Boys outgrow their clothes and sports equipment so quickly that this sale is a god-send to many an Ashbury family. The Luncheon at the Old Boys' Reunion has now became a tradition and is one of the best values in Ottawa. The third highlight is the Spring Tea and Sale. Thanks to the weather which brought a full attendance, this was a most success- ful event. As a result of these, the Mothers' Guild was able to make several valuable donations to the School. New curtains to the value of 3300 will be presented to the boarders' rooms. The S200 Mothers' Guild Bursary will be maintained. A hockey game and books for Form I were presented to the junior School. French books were provided for the Senior Library. A handsome set of silver candelabra was bought, in addition to a much needed Visitor's Book, richly bound in red leather. Skate sharpeners were provided for the hockey teams, and band instru- ments for our cadets. This is a full list, covering pretty well all aspects of Ashbury life. In addition, the Guild this year was instrumental in organizing adult conversational French classes, calling on our Mlle. Cordonnier and M. de Varent to lead the group. THE ASHBURIAN 17 CHAPEL NOTES Year by year, the chapel has provided an increasing amount of sup- port to the daily life of the student. U'e worship weekly, the services being conducted either by our chaplains or by one of the following outstanding visiting preachers:- i 5 Sept. Rev. L. S. Baird St. Georges Ottawa Oct. Rev.

Barnett St. Bartholomews, Ottawa just recently introduced in the service of Matins is the plan of having the lesson occasionally read by the Head Girl of Elmwood, and was inaugurated on May the twelfth, when Margaret-Anne XYatson read the scriptures. Vile hope that the tradition continues as long as the young ladies from Elmwood worship with us. CHOIR The school choir has again surpassed our expectations, although this year they toured the city less than as in previous years. They did, however, visit Christ Church Cathedral on February the tenth and St. Bartholomew's Church during the fall term. CANDLELIG HT SERVICE The service of the Nine Lessons, more widelv known as the Candle- light Service, took place on December the sixteenth at 7:45 p.m. The Chapel was again filled to overliowing. The Headmaster conducted some of the Senior School services and the beginning of term service to fill the Chaplains absence early in the last term. Rev. Attwell, Mr. Perry, Mr. Sibley and Xlr. Polk and a group of students were present at Mr. Belcher's funeral. The service was held in his home town, Bobcaygeon. The school continues to support two Zulu boys, and our weekly offering has been used for their education. New Praver Books and Hymn Books have been put to use in the Chapel. 1 Our offerings have been received during organ voluntaries by Nlrs. H. S. Dalton, our devoted organist. 15 THE ASHBURIAN CONFIRMATION The Right Rev. IC. S. Reed, M.A., D.D., Lord Bishop of Ottawa, conhrmed fourteen Ashbury boys in the Chapel on May second. The Laying on of Hands continues to be one of the annual highlights as friends and relatives once again Hlled the Chapel. Tony Anderson, David Gamble, Brian johnston, and Donald Love received Server's Medallions during the conhrmation service. Refreshments were served following the Service in the Dining Room.

Visit to Natiomil Research C ozmcil On Monday, March -lth, we had our annual tour to the National Research Council. The morning was spent at Sussex Street. Our first Visit was to the Applied Biology section with Dr. D. Kushner and Dr. S. T. Bayley, who were doing research in Microbiology and Biophysics. VVe again were confronted with work being done on D.N.A. and examined many techniques concerned with Biophysics. Next we visited Dr. Maria Przybylska who was working on crystal structure of organic compounds, and Dr. J. B. GiGorgio who was engaged in Urganic Spectrochemistry. In this latter visit we walked into a spectroscope and examined many spectrographs. We then visted Dr. YV. C. johns in Pure Physics where we saw the fine electronmicroscope and its operation as Well as Laser. After a fine lunch we travelled to the Montreal Road Branch. Here we spent some time with Capt. H. R. Smyth who was concerned with automatic lights for lighthouses and transistorized fog horn signals. lYe then spent half an hour in Building Research and saw the Work being done on soils, Hre research, building construction, strength of materials, pavements and roadways. VVe then Went to the Applied Physics building where we were fascinated with Photogrammetry-the making of detailed topographical maps by means of photography, and the Electrical standards division with Dr. Dunn. Here we saw the end- less detail which was concerned with the standards for the volt and the ohm. At 4.30 we left and came back to School after a fascinating day. Our thanks are due to Dr. john R. Kohr and Mr. Mel Vlfard who organized the tour, and to Mr. Sibley who did the work for the School. Those who attended were: XYhipps, Brown, Bow, Cvreenstone, Ekes, Menzies, lValters, Bethune, Tyler and Smethurst. 2. Visit to C balk River On Thursday, March 28th we left early in the morning and arrived at the Atomic Energy of Canada plant at Chalk River at 10.30 a.m. llere Mr. Douglas Nichols met us, and before lunch we saw two excellent filsm on Atomic Energy. VVe also visited the models of NRX, NRC. the new atomic power models, and proposed new power plant. .-Xfter a good lunch we visited N.R.X. where our guides explained the process in detail and then we went on to see N.R.U. Here again the control rooms in both reactors fascinated us all with the safety devices which were used. Our thanks to Mr. Nichols, also to Mr. Marland and Mr. P. Clillean who were our chauiieurs, and to Mr. Sibley who made the THE ASHBURIAN 21 arrangements. Those who attended were: Brown, Bow, Cjreenstone. Ekes, Bethune, Tyler, Podhradsky, Menzies. A highlight of our travel was two flat tires on one of our cars, with the subsequent presentation of a new car to Mr. Marland. 3. .lliscellaneozzs As usual in the Winter Term, some of the Senior students attended many of the Saturday morning series at the University of Ottawa. Many of these were entertaining as well as instructive. Due to the pressure of College Boards, our Montreal tour once again had to be abandoned. DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING Coach-Mr. Spencer Team -Kenneth Menzies QCaptainJ Hugh Campbell Geoff Barber Anthony Ivey Hector Ewing Peter Stein I james McAulayl Harris Stein II Adrian Sark In spite of all the practice at arguing we get at Ashbury, the Debat- ing Team had only a mediocre year. This can probably be attributed to the loss of Haslam and Ewing from last year, who were seasoned debators. In February Ashbury competed in the International Speech Festival at Toronto sponsored by St. Michaels College of Toronto University. The resolution was Resolved that Britain should Qoin the European Common Market . Kenneth Menzies and Hugh Campbell had the aflirmative and Anthony Ivey and Peter Stein the negative. Each team debated three times but Ivey and Stein I scored the only win. There were also public speaking contests. Kenneth Menzies gave a prepared speech on Malaysia. Stein Il gave an impromptu speech. ln addition Hugh Campbell recited and gave an appreciation of a speech by D'Arcy McGee. Although we did not win, we all learned a great deal about the art of speaking of which we had not previously realised the complexities. In March Hector Ewing and Geoifrey Barber took the afiirmative of Resolved that Canada should obtain nuclear arms , while james McAulav I and Adrian Sark took the negative. Ewing distinguished himself, 'being nominated best speaker in his two debates. QHowever 19 THE ASHBURIAN onlv one of the tivo debates was vvonj. The debating year ended on a happy note. Nlenzies and Ewing defeated Lower Canada College at Xlontreal on the topic Resolved that Quebec should secede from the rest of Canada . s . . THE DEBATING TE.-XXI - 1962-63 Iiavk Rout A. j. Sark, P.

PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST The Intermediate and Senior Public Speaking Contest was held on Sunday, Xlav 12th. at 3 p.m. The first nice weekend of the Spring of 1963 did not prevent the three contestants in each division from present- ing the judge, Xlr. Ian Spencer, with a diiiicult task. james XIcAulev, the first Intermediate speaker, chose as his subject Hen and Religion . llis impressive beginning, . H THE ASHBURIAN 23 Men will write for it, Die for it, Fight for it. Everything except live for it was introduced with logic and obvious preparation, but the fumbling and dropping of notes was the deciding point in losing him the award when it was discovered that his marks equalled those awarded Geoffrey Barber, speaking about the Quebec-Cartier Nlining Company. The latter speech, well prepared and well rehearsed, was both informative and interesting. Two lapses in continuity made one wonder if the speaker was reciting material written by someone else. Barber was a three-time trier, and his improved bearing and presentation helped him to receive the 1963 prize. Tom Fuller, whose research into the life of Thomas Edison is worthy of Commendation, spoiled his impact by the nervous gesture of repeatedly changing his notes from hand to hand. One particular attribute of Tom's worthy of note is his excellent use of gestures once he decided to dispense with the aforementioned notes. Hector Ewing, opening speaker for the Senior Division, set a standard the other two speakers were not able to surpass. His accom- plished use of eye contact and a thorough knowledge and presentation of his subject, Bermuda , together with a manner of speaking which has appealed to several debate judges this year, certainly placed him in an enviable position. There is one complaint, however. Hector, too, has a nervous gesture - joining his sentences together, making them long, complicated compound sentences on occasion. No doubt this habit will be eradicated in time. Ken Menzies followed Ewing with a convincing speech on why the Province of Quebec should not secede. Taking the historical and economic reasons for the basis of his arguments, his sparingly used inter- rogative sentences were most impressive. His conclusion is worth quoting, Let us go forward together, not backwards separately? Hugh Campbell, the final speaker, had a topical speech, Britain's proposed entry into the European Economic Community . His dramatic style was a welcome relief, and the audience, which included loyal, interested parents, as well as other students, paid Hugh the greatest attention. It is constructively pointed out that correcting one's self eleven times in an eight minute speech can have a damaging effect in a closely fought competition. Of all the speakers, your judge would consider Hugh's vocabulary outstanding, and would suggest that he continue to work on the eliminating of the above fault. The winners were:- Intermediate - Geoffrey Barber Senior - Hector Ewing Q., THE ASHBURIAN THE HEADMASTERS TRIP TO ENGLAND It was my good fortune to Hy to England during the latter part of March for the dual purpose of interviewing potential Staff members for next year and to hold a Reunion of all those now in the U.K. who have been 'associated with Ashbury. Shortly after my arrival I talked to several experienced School Masters, all of whom were eager to come and teach in Canada. From the group I selected three, two of whom will definitely be at Ashbury for the new School Year. Prior to my departure I had written to everyone in England on our Mailing List to invite them to attend the Reunion at the Park Lane Hotel, London, where I proposed to stay. I was very pleased at the number of replies and the interest shown. A total of 48 Old Boys, Former Parents, Staff and Friends of the School showed up, including the Canadian High Commissioner, The Hon. George Drew, and Mrs. Drew. Also on hand was a group from the old Abinger Hill School, headed by the then Headmaster Mr. james Harrison. It will be remembered that boys from Abinger Hill moved to Ashbury College en masse during the war. Also on hand was D. E. Cecil VVood, a former member of the Staff who was associated with the School as a teacher from 1910 to 1924. He was supported by one of his old students, H. E. Rowe. Quite naturally, these two indulged in reminiscences about the good old days . It turned out to be a most cheerful gathering and I felt that all who attended were delighted to renew acquaintances, not only with old friends but with Ashbury. I was impressed by the good showing being made by our former students now either at School or University in England. Cf the Group, the Rev. Terence Finlay is at Cambridge, Rodney Moore at Oxford, two boys are attending IVestminster, one is at Highgate and another at Bryanston. Still another is at Dean Close School, where I attended for a period of one year quite some time ago. Not only are these boys doing well academically but they have fitted into the English Public System most successfully. In passing, I should say that everyone at the Reunion expressed the hope that this could become an annual affair. .-XSHBURY AT THE LONDON REUNION Top to Hmmm. Left, D. Ii. C.

In addition to the many who attended the party I visited: S. P. Armstrong, an Old Boy and Agent General for Ontario, who has sug- gested that the next Reunion be held at Ontario House in London, Captain and Mrs. Sam F idler, Miss jean Lewington and Mr. and Mrs. Duguid. They were all most hospitable. A number of others phoned to express regret that they were not able to be present. One of the interesting experiences of my visit was watching the Annual Schoolboy Boat Races at Putney on the Thames in which well over 100 crews compete. Thanks to the invitation of Air Commodore and Mrs. D. S. Blaine I had a first-class view of this spectacular event. It was of special interest because David Blaine rowed in one of the VVest- minster boats. Following the races, we enjoyed tea in the VVestminster Club House. In passing, it may be of interest to learn that the boys from many English Schools wear long woollen scarfs. In the case of Mfestminster the scarf is pink. I wondered what the reaction would be in Ottawa if Ashbury students all appeared with a similar item of dress. During my trip I visited friends in Yorkshire who took me to see many points of interest including Fountains and Bolton Abbey, Harro- gate, York and a number of other historical spots in the North Part of England. ' Another expedition took me to Oxford and a tour of Magdalen College. Later that day I drove to the Village of Ashbury, not far from Oxford and enjoyed roaming through the little Village and the quaint 12th Century Church. To prove that such a village exists I took a number of photographs which fortunately turned out. My tour included visits to two schools, one of them St. Peter's in York which is this year celebrating its l300th Anniversary. The other school, Mestniinster was built in the shadow of the Cathedral and so unlike our Canadian Schools that I found it all most interesting. Such antiquity! Such history! Such beauty - and such weather! R. H. PERRY THE ASHBURIAN 9, I-IEADMASTERS' CONFERENCE The Annual Headmasters' Conference was held at Pickering College, Newmarket in early january, 1963. The Xleeting was weil attended with newly elected Stanstead College represented for the first time. For the .Ashbury lleadmaster it was a particularly interesting exper- ience as this was where he taught for a period of thirteen years and of further interest because the present Headmaster of Pickering, Xlr. l larry Beer, was one of Mr. Perry's first students. i The Conference was well organized and the various meetings stimulating and quiet, in the Quaker tradition. Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence, Chairman of the Ashbury Board of Cov- ernors, attended a meeting and the final Conference Dinner. The new Executive consists of: Mr. Robert Coulter, St. Andrews College, President, Mr. G. XY. Smith, Lakefield Preparatory School, Vice-President, Mr. Harry Beer, Pickering, Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. R. H. Perry, Ashbury, Recording Secretary. The Conference will be held next year at St. Andrew's College, with Mr. Coulter as host. CONFERENCES Recently the Independent Schools have pooled information and exchanged ideas at a series of conferences which are usually held during the spring break. The headmasters set the pattern with an annual meeting some years ago, and now junior school heads, each academic department, and bursars have an annual conference. A report of Ashbury's attendance at some of these follows. fDetails of the Headmasters' Conference appear separatelyj. The junior School Meeting was held this year at Ridley. Repre- sentatives from twelve preparatory schools attended. A valuable pre- meeting session convened at the home of the new headmaster, Ted Pilgrim CAshbury '46J. The formal conference got under way the following day. A paper, Teaching of English , was presented by Mr. Saxton, head of the English Department of Ridley. Nlany valuable ideas were introduced and these were discussed around the table after Mr. Saxton's speech. The general meeting was after lunch and twenty- six topics covering all phases of preparatory school life were taken up in lively discussion. Mr. Polk was Ashbury's representative. The English Teachers Meeting met at Upper Canada College. Here Mr. XYansbrough and Xlr. Spencer were our representatives. The morning sewion was devoted Hrst to a discussion of school magazines, QS THE ASI-IBURIAN this was followed by an address, Problems facing the teacher of English . given by Mr. john Stevens, provincial inspector for the Min- istrv of Iiducation. This was a brilliant session, stimulating and en- cotiraging. The remainder of the conference was devoted to a series of small meetings which covered such subjects as: Should the top man on the staff teach the weaker students, or should all his time be devoted to the brilliant ones, the responsibilities of teachers, visual aids. The Maths and Science Conference, held at St. Andrew's College was attended by Mr. Daratha from Ashbury. The meeting opened with a panel discussion. About thirty visitors tossed leading questions to the panel which was composed of Mr. Bates of the Department of Education, Mr. MacLaren of Pickering, Mr. Griffin of Lakefield, and Mr. Turgeon, a principal of one of the Aurora schools. The afternoon session produced two interesting lectures. Mr. Scholes of the Bell Tele- phone talked about the harnessing of light for the purposes of com- munication. Professor Allen of the University of Toronto discussed the structural approach in teaching chemistry. The conference ended with an analysis of the teaching of science to Grades 9 and 10. The Conference of Modern Language Masters of the Independent Schools was held at Appleby. The morning session was divided into two parts. To begin with the language laboratory in use at Appleby was explained and demonstrated. Its value was discussed and our representative was impressed with much that it had to offer. This was followed by a discussion of the possibility of a final Grade XII examina- tion in French common to all independent schools. After lunch the guest speaker, Miss M. H. Lake, presented her ideas on the teaching of French Authors. She is the co-author of one of the texts used at Ashbury. One interesting development was the possibility of hiring students from French universities as conversational assistants at our schools. NI. de Varent represented Ashbury at the meeting. The Bursar's Conference was held at Trinity College School, our Mr. Ielols attending. Here important, behind-the-scenes financial matters were discussed. THE :ISHBURIAN 7 SCI-IOGL DANCES There was no formal dance this year as the lfaster examinations were postponed Cbecause of 'Hub to the time when the Spring Dance was to have been held. lt is probably the hrst time in the schools history that an overall profit has been made on the dances. .Xt the end of the four house dances. we had one hundred and fifty dollars in the kittv . Thanks should be extended to the students who ran the affairs. They being: Davidson, Copeland, Booth I, .-Xndrew, Xlerrett, XYhipps, and Smethurst. One of the dances held in january introduced a new twistll J. About sixty couples came with their skates and warm sweaters to savour our outdoor rinlts. before moving indoors to gvrate in Argyle. The idea was very successful and there were no cases of pneumonia recorded by Xliss Bray the following day. Several dances were held over at Elmwood, at which manv of us were pleased to attend. 2 2 nllfore: The Arlingtons.

Ashbury has had a busy year over the air waves and on the television screen. john Smethurst and Barry O'Neill made their radio debut on CKOY on a production by Bill Timblin of King of the Golden River . O'Neill followed this by playing the part of Tiny Tim in a radio presentation of A Christmas Carol . A team coached by Mr. Pemberton consisting of Kenneth Menzies, Peter Hunt and Gil Troop competed in the T.V. quiz contest It's Your lYorld , produced by CJOH. They won in the first round, but unfortunately succumbed in the second round. The show took the form of questions on current events directed at individual members of the teams, but these persons could confer with their team mates. It was for this latter rule, that quite a few of the questions answered by Ashbury should be credited to Kenneth Menzies. Answers were valued between 0 and 5 by a panel of judges which always included one person on the staff of the Citizen who were sponsoring the show. Kenneth .Xlenzies went on to appear twice on the CJOH program lYe XYant an Answern. The first time he interviewed Ciarles Lynch of the Sflllfllillll News Service, the second time he interviewed Dr. Stewart. Clhairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors. john Bethune and -lohn Sinethurst appeared on this program on individual occasions. .Xn account of the interesting interview which Stnethurst conducted folloXX'S SCpglI'zlfClX'. THE ASHBURIAN 31 Once again, this year Ashbury entered a team consisting of Menzies, XVhipps, Bow and Cireenstone, on the CBC quiz program High Time . Our noble adversary was Glebe Collegiate. Although the program was televised from Argyle and home ground. the enemy proved too noble. Ashbury's defeat was by no means a reHection oh our representatives' ability, for they all gave a good account of them- selves. During the program Brown and Smethurst interviewed Dr. Laidler, Dean of Chemistry at Ottawa University, whilst .Nlciiaughev and Menzies interviewed Alr. Li. Reed of the Canadian Foreign Oflicef IVE XYANT AN ANSXYILRN - C-IOH It was a great privilege to be chosen by Mr. Perry, the Headmaster, to represent the school on the weekly TV program, XYe XYant An Answer , which is moderated by Mr. Charles Lynch, a leading jour- nalist from the Ottawa Citizen. The program is not a quiz in the general sense of the word, but an informative period in which three high school students pose questions to some notable person. In my case, the guest was to be the Rt. Hon. Viscount Amory, G.C., NLG., D.L., the British High Commissioner to Canada. Lord Amory was called out of retirement in 1961 by the British Government, who felt that a High Commissioner of some stature was needed in Canada during the negotia- tions for British entry into the European Common Market. Lord Amory, aside from being an expert in world economics, is keenly interested in youth organisations. He has been the Chief Commissioner of the Boy Scouts for many years, and to follow in the footsteps of such great men as Lord Baden-Powell, can surely be termed an achievement. In the interview Lord Amory felt sure that Britain would eventually join the Common Market adding that he could not perceive a European Common Market without Britain. As he is a very able politician, he was able to sidestep such issues as that of the Polaris and the Canadian Medicare plan, but he did admit to the success of the British system of Nationalized medicine. One of the things that impressed me about Lord Amory was that, like all statesmen, he was able to say much of in- terest about very little. I found the interview extremely interesting and I do hope that the viewers felt as I did. SBIIi'l'HL'RS'l' Blackburn oii Hightimc Billboard . OFFICICRS AND N.C.O.'s - 1962-63 Harlc Row: R. A.

On the Sth of May, however, Ottawa was located about one hundred miles too far to the East. Unhappily, the drizzle started just about at the time when Brigadier G. H. Spencer, O.B.lI., Commandant of R.Nl.C. arrived to inspect the troops. The drizzle settled into a steady rain which continued throughout the afternoon. The clearing skies came shortly after the inspection was over. XYhile about 200 parents and friends watched, Brigadier Spencer inspected the Honour Guard and was introduced to the instructional staff. Then, escorted by Alr. Perry, he marched to the reviewing stand. The inspection followed, and this part of the ceremony concluded with tae march PLISIS, the advance in review order, and the General Salute. Three of the squad demonstrations had to be cancelled due to the rain, however Ashbury Cadet Corps 4137 gave a remarkable demonstra- tion of efhciencv, and despite the unfavourable conditions the cadets performed with their usual military precision. The marking ofiicer was very impressed. Ile is a most important personage whose points awarded at the inspection are the deciding factor in the matter of awards. The cadets all merit congratulations, and particular mention should be made of their ofhcers whose names are listed at the start of this magazine on the page headed School Olhcers. :MY f 'I 4', '1 ' ...., 15 -Fixx f-44N nuff?

Braving the weather with our boys was the visiting band, the Can- adian Guards Band under the direction of Lt. T. C. Higgins. The band was forced to retire during the latter part of the inspection in order to avoid many hundreds of dollars damage to their instruments. Following the inspection, Brigadier Spencer addressed the cadets. After giving sincere congratulations to the boys he announced the prizes. Spry, the most conscientious N.C.U., Stansbury, most promising recruit, Garton, best ofiicer, Parker, band award, and Boyd, officer commanding the best platoon. Commanding oH:1eer's award went to Anderson, and master cadet badges were presented to Anderson, Spry and Andrew. Brigadier Anderson awarded us a half holiday, and the afternoon ended with tea being served in Argyle. Congratulations to Air. 'R. .l. Anderson and his staff for a long year's preparation, and the development of a cadet corps of which Ashbury may be proud. 'I'Hlf HONOUR GUARD - 1962-63 Iiiiflc Roar: IJ. A. bl. Boyd, D. -I. Alulancr.

The defence was surprisingly strong throughout the first half, but age and size began to tell, and this, coupled with our inability to produce a sustained offensive drive sent us to our first defeat. 22 Ashbury vs. XVestmount Lost 6-8 Although the defence played steadily for the entire game, we could not score until the fourth quarter, Smallian going over on a quarterback sneak. However, time ran out before we could strike again. 3J Ashbury vs. Stanstead Lost 7-13 Despite the fact that the offence began to produce a powerful attack, we could not contain the Stanstead drive, and consequently trailed 13-0 at half time. In the second half we began to roll, and Walters put us on the scoresheet midway through the Hnal quarter. But the game ended before we had a chance to even the count. 47 Ashbury vs. Hillcrest TVon 14-0 This game served notice of things to come as the offence moved the ball consistently, while the defence contained a diversified Hillcrest attack. Armour and Bethune scored our touchdowns, both coming in the first half. 55 Ashbury vs. Bishop's VVon 48-8 The Green Machine took the field determined to settle an old score, and did so in convincing fashion. The offence scored practically at will, while the defence gave up only 1 point in the first half. Keffer, Rawley, and VValters each scored two touchdowns, and Copeland added salt to the wound by running back an interception 50 yards for our Hnal score. 65 Ashbury vs. Iiastview VVon 12-0 lelampered by too much respect for our opponents, we failed to score in the first half, but came up fighting in the final 30 minutes to gain the victory. Walters put us into the lead with a third quarter touch- down and Bethune consolidated the victory with a two-yard plunge on the game's last play. THE ASHBURIAN A30 7D Ashbury vs. Northwood Lost 8-41 Riding the crest of a three game winning streak, we entered into this game with confidence and high hopes of victory. But as the game progressed, Northwood took command, and we literally fumbled all our chances, as we lost the ball 8 times in the first quarter. However, we were not dismayed by our bad start and managed to close the gap to 16-8 at half-time. But in the second half the smaller Ashbury squad was battered into submission, and Bethune's first half touchdown stood as our only score. 8D Ashbury vs. Old Boys Lost 2-20 Suffering both in body and spirit after our loss at Lake Placid, we failed to produce a major score in our traditional battle with the Old Boys. Our only points came on a safety touch late in the game. and We never did threaten seriously. It might be pointed out, however, that the Old Boys' squad was much younger and healthier than in previous years, with many recent graduates swelling their ranks. Although the team was young and inexperienced, it made up for what it lacked in polish with a tremendous amount of spirit, much more so than in recent years. VVhile this spirit raised us to great heights on a number of occasions, it could not overcome the size and determination of our opponents in the long run. The team wishes to extend their thanks to C. B. Tiny Hermann for his time and patience, in this his last season of coaching at Ashbury, and to L. Black for his assistance. SCORING STATISTICS Name No. Pos. Pts.

Only individuals who have participated in this rugged sport are able to realize the deep emotions that beset one when he has given his best on the field. Our first game was a disheartening one indeed? A new, green club against an efficient, powerful Arnprior machine resulted in the crushing defeat of 0-6-P. In our next game, against Rideau, we managed to score one touchdown although team spirit was still somewhat depressed. With hard practice, the urge to win, and the able coaching of Nlr. XYansbrough, we won the following two games: The first, played at home against St. ,loseph's, so improved our general outlook that in Montreal, a week later, we bruised over Stanstead, a good team with a fighting spirit, but outclassed that day.

Our coach, realizing that overconidence breeds defeat, decided to reschedule us with Rideau. VV e lost, but We played with such drive and spirit that the surprised Rideau bench had to quickly reshuflle its Held players. The most important game of the year arrived. VVe took the field against l3ishop's. Through some bad breaks and unfortunate judge- ment we lost the game that was really ours. Our game against Eastview ended up the season, and was a well- won victory for us. Outstanding play came from our captain, Al Cohen, and backing him up were Sveinson, Allmark, Dawson, McNair, and the Southams. The rest of the team contributed all they had to give the Seconds a fine season.

FIRST TEAM lVith as many as seven members returning from last year's team. it might seem an easy task to form the remaining nucleus into an effective force. The players returning being Rusty Davidson Clast year's cap- tainj, Danny MCGaughey, Ross Blackburn, -leremy Tyler, Barry Cooper, Andrew Zaporski, and john Smethurst. The players who had gone left a big gap in the green otlenceg however by the end of the season, thanks to coach Anderson. we had a team to be reckoned with. After starting badly in the high school soccer league. Ashbury came back to be closely eliminated by Glebe lligh in the semi-nnals. As in other years, l will do a short analysis of each game, not too biased l hope. Cl Y L . 44 THE ASHBURIAN 1. Dur first game was against O.V.C.C. Ashbury had the advantage of youth whilst the men of O.V.C.C. possessed experience. Un- fortunately, experience took command, as it usually does, and the men from the Cricket Club scored two goals in the Hrst half. Late in the second half, Davidson answered with Ashbury's only goal, a low driv- ing screen shot into the right hand corner of the net. 2. The game against Lachute High School, at home, was an undecisive encounter in which three half-hour periods were played, with no goals scored by either side. 3. The third game was the first high school league match and an over- eonfident Ashbury team headed onto the field. Before we knew where where we were, we were behind 2-O, and somehow we just couldn't put the ball in the net. Xlerid Birou scored Ashbury's only goal in a demoralising defeat of 2-1. 4. An undereonfident eleven went out to meet the Tech team, who had been last year's high school league champs. Although they only had five shots on our net in the whole game, we lost three to one. Shepherd scored Ashbury's single goal. Things were beginning to look gloomy and the big green machine was beginning to fade slightly. 5. On the VVesthill High School soccer field in Montreal We met the Stanstead team, who had already beaten B.C.S. 4-1. At last Ashbury's luck seemed to be taking a definite rise. In the first half Davidson tipped one in, and at the beginning of the second half, in a goal front scramble, Shepherd fiicked a shot into the top left hand corner of the net. To seal the lid of the Stanstead coffin, near the end of the game Davidson faked a pass, pivoted, shot and scored, all, it seemed, in the same motion. 6. We had to win this game against Hillcrest, to get into H.S. league playoffs. The enemy goalie, having been crushed into a state of incompetency, fumbled a high lob from Blackburn into the goal. This action was to keep Ashbury's play-off candle burning, for no more goals were scored. 7. Meeting Bishops at home, Ashbury had the Stanstead victory in their favour. By half time Ashbury was leading 2-0, the markers being scored by Davidson and Addleman. The second half brought Bishops' only point, however, a few minutes later. Davidson's second goal wrapped up the game. 8. XYe now had to play the Hillcrest team again, this time for the second position in the eastern division of the league, behind the un- defeated Ottawa Technical High School. Following an uneventful first half, Richard Addleman scored on a narrow angle shot from the right wing, at the beginning of the second period. Somehow Ashbury held on until the end of the game. The victory paired us with Glebe High School. the undefeated champs of the western division. THE ASHBURIAN 45 9. Playing Northwood at Lake Placid, NX. in the first of a double header, it seemed that Northwood was going to repeat its two victories of last year. Before half time, they were winning 3-1, and during the second half they piled two more goals onto their already enviable score. Davidson answered twice for Ashburv. 10. After a good night's sleep, so XIcGaughey and Tyler told us, we went out once more, resigned to defeat. This time we had a new player on the eleven, Pete McCain, former captain of the Sedburgh team, who had somehow become lost amongst out football team. McCain was to play at our weak centre forward position, his speed and size proving a great asset. Before the game was over, he had scored two goals on breakaways. Addleman scored on a chip shot, when the goalie came out to recover a bad free kick. The hard fighting Northwood offence answered with two goals, but the green team held on 'till the victorious end. 11. The first game of the semifinal against Glebe was going to be played in snow and underneath that, mud. The second half, following a scoreless first period, brought a goal by McCain on a breakaway. Thus the score remained, until, with a minute to go, Richard Logie, a former Ashbury boy, scored the tying goal. It was decided that two extra ten-minute halves would be played. In the Hrst ten minutes McCain scored again for Ashbury, and in the last ten minutes he scored again, this time on a penalty shot. Ashbury now seemed to have the victory in its grasp, leading 3-1. But Lady Luck had dropped her mantle o'er the shoulders of our opponents, as Glebe scored twice to tie the game and then finally in the encroaching darkness they tipped the ball once again into our ill-fated goal. All credit must be given to the Glebe team who never gave up once, much to our misfortune. It seems ironical that Logie had to be Ashbury's nemesis, as he scored two of those last three goals. 12. In a more friendly game against the Old Boys, Ashbury came through after a close contest. Xlr. Anderson scored for the Old Boys. whilst Davidson and a member of the Old Boy's defence accounted for our two. 13. The second game against Glebe was indecisive. but not quite indecisive enough for us. With a minute left to play, Glebe scored on a screened free kick that got away from Nlulaner, our goalie. 14. Now came one of the most disappointing games of our season. We lost to the Masters 2-1. Both their goals however were scored on a couple of rather suspect penalties. Some of us felt that the Nlastersi team consisting of Staff and Friends . included the referee as one of their friends! Zaporski answered for the students. who all enjoyed the game. 46 THE ASI-IBURIAN 15. The last game of the season was one of those sugar pills that make it all seem worth while. lYhen we played Kemptville Agricultural School at Kemptville, Rusty Davidson, Pete McCain and Rich Addleman had a scoring held day. The game finished with a tally of eight goals to one in our favour. lst SOCCER RESULTS O.Y.C.C. 2-1 lost home Lachute High School 0-0 draw home Rideau High School 2-1 lost away Ottawa Technical H.S. 3-1 lost home Stanstead 3-0 won away Hillcrest 1-0 won home B.C.S. 3-1 won home Hillcrest 1-0 won home Northwood 5-2 lost away Northwood 3-2 won away Glebe H.S. 4-3 lost home Old Boys 2-1 won home Glebe H.S. 1-0 lost home Staff and Friends Cincluding the Refereej 2-1 lost home Kemptville Agricultural School 8-1 won away VVon 7 Drew 1 Lost 7 Cwlzmeiztsr A good season in the sense that most of the key games were won.

Wie were- in a Hghting mood with the visit of arch rivals Bishop's, and we defeated them 2-0 here at the school. Fate returned with a visit from Selwyn House who blanked us 2-O in a hard fought game fespeeially against the elementsj. Most of the team will be returning next year, with the exception of the captain Chris Lodge, and will form the nucleus of next year's Firsts. C. A. LODGE FOOTBALL AND SCCCER DINNER This year the event was held on IYednesday, the 21st of November, in the Symington Hall at 7.30 p.m. The Headmaster Cas Chairmanj, the guest speaker CML XYard Cornell-radio and TV personality and manager of the station CFPL, London, Ontarioj, a number of distinguished guests, and the Coaches and players of the Soccer and Football teams, were in attendance. The Chairman, in a short speech bade welcome to the guests, and then the Chaplain pronounced grace. It may be said that the food, that was then encountered, was excellent fcoming from a person, who personally savoured two juicy steaks, this statement is naturally biasedb. At the conclusion of the meal, the toast to Her Majesty the Queen was proposed by the Chairman, Mr. Perry, who then proceeded to disclose the innermost secrets of the honourable guests as a method of introduction. This year was probably the first that the school toast was not pronounced by Mr. Brain, and I think that many missed the fine eloquence of this moment. Instead, this year, the Team Captains of the Soccer and Football squads toasted the coach of the other team. john Bethune, Captain of football, took great pleasure in pointing out that soccer was only a secondary sport at Ashbury, and with further sentences implying that soccer bore less significance on the proceedings than football. It should be pointed out that the first soccer team had a slightly better record this season than the first football team. Mr. Anderson replied for the team coaches. Tiny's farewell speech follows. Then followed an extremely interesting talk by Mr. Cornell, who told us many amusing stories about his trade. The proceedings closed finally with the presenting of Cups and colours to the members of the teams. ln short it may be said that it was a yery enjoyable evening. THE .-ISHH URI.-IX J., TINY RETIRES Tiny Hermann, that all-time-great football player and in the annals of Ashbury that all-time-great coach, after ten years of building our First Teams has announced his retirement. The success of his regime has been amazing. After a disappointing season in 1953, when we lost seven of the eight games played, Tiny took hold and from there on it was a diiierent story. In that year, 1954, we won the B.C.S. 01d Boys' Trophy for the first time in four years and held it for seven consecutive years, the team was undefeated for two years straight, and in a four-year period lost only four games -A to twenty-Hve won. It is necessary to say that in some of these seasons Tiny undoubtedly enjoyed the advantage of exceptionally good material from which to mold his team, but the point is that he could, and often did, worl: miracles with weak or indifferent material. Not only did he know the mechanics of the game and how to put them across, but he had the precious faculty of inspiring his players with the will to win, and to win not only for the School, but to win for Tiny. How many times, in all weathers. have we seen his towering, monumental figure on the fields at practice hours. blasting. demon- strating, encouraging, while his bellow made the panes rattle in the upper windows. It is a figure that will be remembered. TINYS TIQANIS In his farewell speech at the Football dinner, Tiny did an interesting thing: he picked an All Star Team for the ten year period of his coach- ing of the Firsts. and we feel that this selection will be extremely valuable 50 THE AsHBUR1AN as a record for reference in the vears to come as well as a nostalgic gratihcation for the Old Boys named on the team. In picking my All Star Team for the ten years I have been football coach, said Tiny, I came up against various problems. First of all, we were never in a position to platoon as an offensive and defensive squad. NVhile some may excel offensively, they may be weak defen- sively, and vice-versa. In picking my team, I considered their ability under the conditions that existed at Ashbury, where the squads have never been large and injuries could be a major factor. So, very timidly, I shall begin. Cenrre: MAC KILLAI.Y - my team of '53, '54 and '55 - 182 lbs., a good two-way player and a coach's delight, one of the Four Horsemen. The ffwo gzmrds: NTIKE OCHOA - '53 and '54 - 190 lbs. of Latin fury who decided in '54 to be a football player after a mediocre year in '53. This boy would have been a sensation against Northwood. Srrzve IVooi.Lcox1Bu - a grandson of the founder of Ashbury, '56 and '57, Now here was a small guard, 160 lbs., not very fast, not a good blocker or tackler, but just packed full of good Ashburian guts and desire. One of my sons definitely. The tfwo tackles: SAM CSABIBLE - '57 and '58, not big - 170 lbs. - but very mobile and determined, good open Held blocker, and I was sorry to see him graduate. CHRIS NOXVAKOXVSKI - This lad is another one of the Four Horsemen of Ashbury, so dubbed by Mr. Perry in 1955. VVe never played Chris at this position, but he could play any position with all the desire in the world, and must be on the Dream Team. A likeable clown off the Held - you saw a bit of it at the Old Boys Game, but he was no clown when a block or a tackle was being thrown, and he can play for me anytime. The ends: Dox CHARBoNEAU - '57, six foot end, played his earlier foot- ball at Nepean, and was well coached. VVhen we got him here, he had the proper desire and the physical equipment to be on the All Stars. Bos BERRY - '59, '60 and '61 - six foot one, 185 lbs. Here was an end that made one forget all others one moment, and danm him the next. XYhat he lacked in self-discipline, he more than made up in a terrific natural ability and was effective both ways. His break-aways on the quick pro passes were football's gems. Ifltivllcei' 07' fiying fwing: This was a difficult position to fill. Even pro football. as we see it, doesn't know how to use this position to the best advantage, not having a similar position in American Football, they simply put the extra man out of the way by using him as a Hanker and a sort of a blocker or pass receiver in the Hat. Riczn.-mo l.oona could do here. .ANDY IYRLLS was a star at this position, but was prone to injury. THE ASHBURIAN 51 I would pick AIIKH BLIRRIDGIE - 170 lbs. - '55, '56 and '57, A fine kicker and blocker as well as good defensively and a splendid ball carrier, he was really solid at this position. Fllllback: CHRIS Aloi-'ffm' - six foot two - 190 lbs. - '58 and '59, Sixteen touchdowns in two years. The most powerful runner and line- backer in my ten years here. Terrific winning desire, and tough. Half-bafle: HUGH Suipsox - team of '57, Ten touchdowns - first year player of 195 lbs. - left Ashbury in '58 and backed up the famous Pat Abruzza of Alouette fame, with one single year of Iligh School football behind him. A natural football player, if I ever saw one. Now with two powerful runners in the backfield, we have got to have the other spot filled by a boy who can break out in the open field, dance down the side lines, with good hands for pass receiving and kick receiving. He must be a fine team player and a deep back on defense, and of course this is a perfect description of another one of the Four Horsemen in the person of JOE IRv1N, my team of '53, '5-1 and '55. Twenty-nine touchdowns, another one of my boys. Now that we've selected 11 men - good and true - all our team lacks is a Quarterback, the UIOSI important offensive position on any football team. Looking over the various quarterbacks, we have had three outstanding contenders. NED RHODES - '53 and '5-1, BRUCE HILLARX' - '55, '56 and '57, KEX'IN PICKENS - '60. Kevin Pickens came to us for a one-year shot after a fine record at 1Yestinount High and we only had one year to observe and assess him. He also was a fine kicker and a good defensive man. Had he played with me two or three years, my assessment might have been changed upwards. NED RHODES was certainly the brainiest player we have had at Ashbury, good passer, good place kicker and along with joe Irvin, one of the finest kick receivers you could want. A breed that is completely extinct in today's football, and this played a large part in gaining the first unbeaten season. BRUCE HILLARY - A triple threat with a splendid desire that was imparted to all the team. This boy was very popular with his team mates, which increased his value as a quarterback, and his Hnest effort was the Bishop home game in '57. Prior to this game, we had been beaten by Bishops 33-14, and entered the second game 19 points down. The team had been badly hurt the previous week and we practised badly because of this. I had little hopes that we would overcome our deficit and feared we would lose our second game in three years and also lose the Governor's Cup which was more important. Aly fears seemed justified, for at half time they had added to their 19 points and were 25 points up on the round. I never did know what lit the spark. Some remark about the team's likeness to Elmwood Girls must have made Hugh Simpson, Steve XYoollcombe, Don Charboneau and Bruce V THE ASHBURIAN Hillary mad, because we scored 5 touchdowns for 33 points to win the roundi I wish I could have remembered what it was because I could have used it this year against the Old Boys. My quarterback? I am going to take Rhodes and Hillary, with apologies to Kevin Pickens and some of you second guessers can put the two in whichever order you like. XYell there it is. Ends -Charboneau and Berry Tackles -Nowakowski and Gamble Guards -IVoollcombe and Ochoa Centre -Killaly Quarterback-Rhodes and Hillary Fullback -Nloliat Flanker -Berridge Half Backs -Hugh Simpson and joe Irvin Now I have omitted many who could be argued for a spot. Boys like Bill XYilson, .lim Kerruish, Greg Grant, Laurie Hart, Andy IVells and many others always made my heart swell with pride, and Ashbury was the richer for their participation and fine sportsmanship, but we only have twelve spots, and I have already used thirteen men. The speech concluded . . . Your new coach will, I know receive the same co-operation that I have. And there is one thing I would like to remind you of right now, and it is this: Forget Tiny Hermann, my method, my plays, and everything about me in a football way. VVe don't want any ghost walking around the Ashbury campus next football season. Your new coach will need all your attention and confidence. Give it to him, and I'm sure your share of victories will come. QQ 1105. K 'ff .,,J 'lm if il' Hack Row, LUIS! to Right: Rossy, .Xllni.irk, lit-tier. l rm1l: Clove.

HCCKEY The 1962-63 hockey season marked the second year of operation of the High School Hockey League, and the first time that Ashbury had beaten Northwood twice in some time. Although the season could hardly be called spectacular, there were some crucial games which were not decided until the dying minutes. Unfortunately, the year started off with a loss to Ridgemount High School. l lowever we rebounded, winning the next three games against lfisher Park, and Northwood respectively. AVe were beaten by St. Pat's by an unmentionable score but beat Lisgar. One of our later games featured a trip across the border where we played the Middlebury College freshman team. Ashbury was unable to produce a win over l..C.CI. or Bishops but did emerge victorious from a game with Stanstead. THE ASHBURI.-IN ss At the end of the regular season .-Xshbury was in sixth place in the high school league and were in the quarter-final against St. Pat's. We lost this game 6-2. The last game of the season was against the Old Bovs but again we came out at the short end of the score. D The leading scorer on the team was Bob Smallian who collected 27 points while .lohn Bethune was second with 21 points. john Bethune was awarded the most valuable player award while Bob Stansbury won the most improved player award.

As a result he won the Most Improved Player award. BOB SBIALLIAN-B0lJ was the leading scorer this year. A good stick- handler and one of the fastest skaters, he won many games for us. GEORGE KEFFER-GICLII opportunist around the net. Lack of weight was no handicap to George around the boards, and always dug the puck out of the corner. SANDY SINCLAIR-Tried very hard as goalie and kept the team in humour on and Off the ice. DAvE GAMBLE-Fairly fast skater and with an accurate slap shot. Dave impressed the team with his end to end rushes up the ice. IJYVAINE BOYD-Although not used regularly, he handed out many a bone-crushing check when on the ice. GRAHAM GARTON-Ill his first year, inexperienced but skating has im- proved. PETER MCCAIN-A newcomer to the team, Pete was not permitted to play in the high school league, but helped us greatly in the other games. BARRY ALLMARR-Barry was one of the highest scorers on the team, and was always ready to go when called upon. RICK SOUTH.AAI-RlCli did not play much during the regular season but remained loyal and enthusiastic. DICK XRPENNBERG-G2lX'C his best at all times. Gained valuable exper- ience and will be an asset to next year's team.

David Rhodes' rigorous Cross-country training the team did better in Alpine as well. The boys trained in Cross-Country during the week and entered the Alpine raees at Camp Fortune in preparation for the team meets. The ski team accompanied the hoekeyteam to Lake Placid, N.Y. to raee against Northwood School. Although we beat them in the cross- eountry, we found the Northwood skiers stronger on the slalom course. The hoys enjoyed the skiing on lYhitefaee Xlt. .Xshlnlry ventured far aheld on the trip to Collingwood, Ont., for the Southern Ontario Clhampionships. Due to transportation difliculties we were under a handicap hut several of the hoys did very well indeed. THE ASHBURI.-IN 59 Sedbergh invited the team to race on their private hills. lt was a very pleasant day and we succeeded in beating them. The big meet of the year was the Dalton XYood. held at Camp Fortune. Bishops and L.C.C. were present as well as the Ottawa high school teams. L.C.C. took top honours with Ashbury coming fourth. The Cochand trophy, for the best team among L.C.C., Bishops and Ashbury was also won by L.C.C. Because of Ashbury's showing the team was invited to the Redbirds jackrabbit meet in St. Sauveaur but on account of exams. we were unable to go. First team colours went to Chris Grant and Bob Horner with Grant also winning the Chris Coristine Memorial Trophy for cross-country and the Evan Gill Trophy for best individual skier. The Ashbury College Cup went to Horner for most improved skier. Our thanks to Xlr. Rhodes as coach, we hope to see him back next year. BASKETBALL The school basketball team had a better season this year than many of us had expected when we Hrst started to practice. The team played 13 games, 2 home games in the Rockclilfe Park Public School gym and 11 games away. The year started out evenly as the record after -1 games was 2 for and 2 against. Last year's veterans CDraper, Addleman and Mulanerj backed up by such newcomers as Duncan, Reid and Sveinson formed the backbone of the team. Everyone worked together in good teamwork and sports- manship, however, and we ended the season with 4 wins and 9 losses. Richard Addleman, veteran co-captain of last year, provided once again the main scoring punch, with an average of 9.5 points a game. backed up by Reid's 7.2 points, and Draper's 5.3. Captain Duncan's 101 rebounds set up ample opportunities for scoring plays. Xlulaner, Sveinson. Hunt, NIcQuaig and Shaw are to be con- gratulated for their part in the team's successes, and for their good showings in time of loss. The team wishes to extend its sincere thanks and gratitude to their able coach Hr. Black, who built them into the team they were. He combined his experience, patience and skill to pass on to the team the drive and desire thev needed. Also our thanks go to manager Pat I-Ieeney who did a fine job.

Raymond. TENNIS Under the able coaching of Nlr. Pemberton, the school managed to field a team once again. Although the probability of matches remained in doubt for some time, the Lake Placid sortie being cancelled, we managed a double-header fspaeed by a weekl against B.C.S., a thing that we have not done before. XYith our usual disadvantage of lack of court room, therefore restricting our singles practice. we went down to Bishop's to face a team coached by Xlr. Robert Bedard. the Canadian Champion for the last few years. Unfortunately the match was rained out. but not before Pete NlcCain had won his first set 8-6 and stuck with seven match points in his second set. Dave Gillespie won his first set 8-6, whilst Bruce Berry was bogged down at 7-7 in his first set. john Smethurst, the Captain, assures us that he studied. for he never did get on the court. The return match played here at the school ended in a -l-2 decision in B.C.S.'s favour. We lost all the singles and won out in the douhles. NlcCain. our top seed lost to his opponent -l-6. 8-6. 6-I. Smethurst, in the number two spot. lost his tally at 1-6. 8-6. 6-3. having had his opponent 5-3 and two match points down in that fatal second set. Gillespie fell on a very close count also, with a 6--l. -l-6. lil-I2 score. Alas Bruce Berry went in two sets at 6-2. 6-3. The doubles. however. was a very different picture. Pete Xlcfjain and john Smethurst. the first seeded doubles pair won 6-4. I-6. 6-3. Dave Gillespie and Bruce Berry won decisively 6-U, 6-2. FIRST CRICKET TEAM - 1962-63 liable Rout O. K. Lawson, A. P.

Although the team's record was not the best, the younger members formed the nucleus of the Ashbury XI which won the three games it played. Colours were awarded this year to Davidson, the Captain, Samples, who won the bowling trophy, Southam I, Cooper and Shepherd. Highlights of the season included a Visit from Khan Alohammed for a truly valuable week, and a magnificent stand by I3ishop's Abbot and Alitchell in the I3ishop's match. Interest in cricket was very good all year and it is expected, within a year or two that Ashbury will produce first rate cricket again.

UNDER SIXTEEN This season the Under 16 Cricket Team followed the usual course: we were beaten by Bishop's, but we beat Sedbergh. Our first game of the season was at home against Sedbergh. This match resulted in our only victory of the season, after one short playing time of only one hour. Pyefinch contributed 7 of our 23 runs, and Polk matched this output. Read and Collyer shared the Sedbergh wickets. Unfortunately our second game against Sedbergh was called off because of snow. The next week-end, we went to play Bishops After spending a pleasant night in North Hatley, we took to the field in a light drizzle. .-Xs the score against us mounted, the rain increased, and we finished the game, defeated, in a downpour. lfor our next game against Bishops, we had hopes of a victory. XX'hen our batting collapsed, our joy turned to gloom. The Bishops score quickly climbed to 85 runs, with Colbet contributing 20 runs. XX'e batted again, but could not beat their score. Although this was a disappointing season, we enjoyed our games. lYirh the intramural cricket league which has been introduced. we will have more experienced players next year and should improve.

With only six boys entered, Ashbury captured a first and two seconds. .Xlulaner in his javelin came second exactly one foot away from the winner. The relay team in their first try at the -H0 came an excellent second using sub- stitute Dave Xlulaner for Dwaine lloyd. ln the 880 race George Kefier and Bill Duncan gained a fifth and sixth place respectively. Al Cohen against heavy competition turned in a fourth place in his 100 yard dash which was faster than the senior 100 yard. The climax came at the very end of the meet with Peter Hunt making a terrifiic leap of 19 ft. 75 ins. in the broadjump and turning in the only first for Ashbury this year. George Keffer won the -I. B. Ewing Trophy for the most valuable member of the track team. This year must be considered a very good season and with IHOSI members returning, Ashbury should have an excellent record next season. HOUSE CGMPETITICDN Once again the school year was highlighted by the struggle between Alexander, Connaught, and lYoollcombe Houses for athletic supremacy at Ashbury. lVoollcombe and Connaught both got off to fast starts, and Alexander appeared to be left in their dust. However, Alexander managed to get rolling towards the end of the year, resulting in one of the closest competitions in recent years. Connaught emerged victorious and was awarded the Wilson Shield.

BLACKBURX, ROSS: II'kerc .irc you going to III-Y pretty 7lIJfd..', Rugged Ross has been with us now for five years and has fina'ly achieved the ultimate goal of Co-Captain of the School. XVhilst he has not done so well scholastically this year. his second as a prefect. there is no doubt he has done a good job as the co-leader of the school. One of the old indispensibles of the first soccer team. I am sure that Mr. Anderson wi'l be sorry to see Blackie go. With profound knowledge, which he assured us he had, he pronounced judgement on the players of the league hockey. Ross was captain of Woollcombe and directed the house to a number two position behind Connaught. From a military aspect he was adjutant for the corps. Ross's pastimes vary between girls, 'rodding around in his Corvair, and the peculiar pursuits of eating, and sleeping. Needless to say he assures us that he is going to St. George VVilliams University next year. XYhereyer he goes, however, we wish him the best of luck and success! XVI-IIPPS, MURRAY: Theres iz sucker born e1'e1'y Yllillllffv. During the short span of three years that we have had Murray along. he has climbed the ladder of success rapidly to his present position of Captain of the Boarders.

Academics are Murray's forte, however, don't overlook his prowess at ten pins. Eh Mr. Anderson? He is constant'y appearing on television trying to answer questions on obscure Italian operas. Another of BIurray's strengths lies in his ability to make a noise on the piano. as all the prefects are well aware. Maybe they will soundproof that wall some day. Murray is off to McGill for a degree in electronics next year. XXX- hope those electrons flow smoothly for him. JOHN BOOTH: Oh, 'tis lore, 'tis lore flair 7lIJkL'.l' the world go 7'UII7IJ'.l-Q Iohn has been within these ha'lowed walls for many years and he has now completed his second year as a Prefect. An enthusiastic member of the first football team. john probably went on to ski in the winter term, but we are in some doubt as to the validity ot this statement due to lack of evidence. We do know that he partook in the gentlemanly art of the cricket league. for he was seen on several occasions wearing cricket pads. and a daisy in his ear. Iohn's activities centre around a particular girl. tfni' a while however, he was seen escorting various gir's around this fair city b. Ile has been seen playing the drums in a very good hand. and he does have a ear. john hopes to go to Blount Allison next year. so for that reason xx e must wlsh him the best of luck. -6 .M-5 , X .- Q' 1 -12 . . ' wap' it . -its . 1'- K 17 ihf: XV!! i THE ASHBURIAN BROVVN. J. I-l.: Lo1'e is 7101 lore which alters 'when it .ilteratiozz finds or bends 'with the remover to remove . This is john's fifth year at Ashbury. At the beginning of this, his final year at the school, he was made a Prefect. Although always a staunch supporter of Ashbury College, john has done little to promote the glory of the school in the field of sport. In the fall he practised, but never played, with the first soccer team, and winter found him the captain of a somewhat less than illustrious squad in the third hockey field. YVhile chemical equations and geometrical theorems are forgotten two steps outside the classroom door, john, nevertheless, maintains a tenacious mental grasp on facts and figures concerning automobiles. Indeed, seldom can ten minutes pass without the revelation to the occupants of the Common Room of some new and astounding fact about cars or the acceleration times and specifications of the latest foreign sports machine. It is no secret that Iohn's ambition is to own a Ferrari. VVhen not talking or reading about cars, his leisure hours were taken up by going out with his girl friend, but since February such things as writing poetry, putting in the Common Room, and go-carting have occupied John's spare time. Next year John hopes to attend Carleton University where he plans eventually to obtain a B.A. or BJ. degree. DAVIDSON, CHARLES: So, 'we'll go no more a roving so late into the night . Rusty has been around for quite a time now, but it was not until this year that he was allowed legally into the prefect's common room. Red has done a fine job in his department, that is when he hasn't been doing the feature act at the Burleigh Falls Midnight Canoe Club. Rusty is going to Carleton next year to take Science. In the field of sports Rusty won the MacCordick Cup fthe greatest contribution to school gamesl. He was captain of first soccer, the winningest team of the fall term. The winter found him a referee in the hockey league. As a summer sidelight he captained the cricket team. Last year, Rusty's favourite pastime was marked censored, and I'm afraid that this year it will have to remain the same. XVe wish you the best of luck next year Rusty and we hope that your various ambitions will be fulfilled. BOVV, PAUL: Tix better to be late, than never . Paul capped his fifth and final year at Ashbury by being elevated to the lofty position of a prefect. He performed his duties conscientiously and preferred to be a man of words rather than of muscle in upholding the law. This year he was a member of the first football team and an enthusiastic team captain in the third hockey league. Academically, Paul had a good year, especially in French, and was consistently amongst the top boys of the form. Throughout the year, Paul became notoriously known for his punctuality. He always arrived on time, but just, and it was nothing unusual to see him strolling down the driveway with thirty seconds to the final bell. Paul's favourite pastime, besides working, was go-carting where he turned from a calm, usually sane person into a mad fiend on the track. Next year Paul plans on entering Queen's where he will be taking pre-med and we wish him all the best. ,XICGAUGHI-1Y, DANIEL: IJm'le, true and tender is the North . Danny has attended Ashbury for five years, three as a day-boy and two as a hoardcr. He has been a world traveller most of his life and he now resides in Kuala Lumpur. Malaya. But, though his body is in Malaya, his heart is in his shack at mileage twelve, North of Nowhere. He .loves the North XVoods with a passion and has shocked us all by going into fits of ecstatic joy over a twelve foot aluminum canoe. tlt takes all kinds . . . 5. Dan has been a star of the First Soccer team for three years. He also loves to play tennis, having a perpetual duel to the baseline with j.R.S. Next year, Dan will take his crew-cut and wisdom to Queen's where he will study Biology. Science students beware! Best of luck lad, and don't take any canvas canoes. THE ASHBURIAN TYLER, JEREMY: A 111.111 ezxirhonr .1 mr ix .1 hznzrer u-izlnozzr a gun . Ierry, or Herm is the soft-spoken guy of the Prefect body. jerry is also the holder of the record for the longest stay at Ashbury-thirteen years-and he hopes to continue his education at McGill next year. After starring on the First Soccer and Ski teams, he had to devote the Spring term to his studies. His favorite pastimes are: 1-Combing his plentiful hair and 2-Dragging in his yellow Triumph TR-3. Resemhling Count XVolf1.Zang Von Tripps, Ierry is recognized as the Usauve one in the Common Room. His ambition is to be an oceanographer, but he will probably end up as a beachcomber. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, Ierry has the best wishes from all who know or have known him at Ashbury. BOYD, DONALD: Some people tell Ili that there Hilllt 710 Hell, Bur they never farmed, so how can they tell? In a short period of five years Donny has risen to the height of the prefect body. He is known for his wrestling ability rusually two at a time? and for his vice-captaincy of the first football and hockey teams. He is also an outstanding track star and usually manages to cross the finish line in the first tive. During cadets his large figure could be seen at the head of No. 2 platoon where he did a great job. Over the years, he had won lst colours, the best platoon award. and won the most improved player award for first football. One of the most amusing incidents this year occured when Donny burst into the common room and announced he was an uncle. He had just delivered a new calf. Donny's field of endeavour is not too certain as yet, but whatever he does we're sure he'll do an excellent job and we wish him th best of luck.

THE -45HBL'RlAX N READOVER For Xlr. Perry's 39th Readover there were open necks and shirt sleeves to greet him. We were in the midst of a heat wave and the headmasiter had decreed these sensible clothing regulations. We gathered in Argyle on june 6th, and Alt. Perry gave a brief review of the school year just past. He admitted that there were some lowlights among the highlights, but felt that this had been a generally successful year, both in class and athletics. The Headmaster touched on the many outside activities which go to make our lives in an independent school so full. The remainder of the Readover was reserved for Sports Day and athletic awards. SPORTS DAY The heading is a misnomer for there was no one day with parents lined on the bank, cheering on their sonsg there was no Mrs. Tyler confidently outstepping other mothers all clutching a spoon holding a wobbling hard boiled eggg there was no Angelo Nlosca to give a firm and painful handshake to the victors. This break with tradition was necessary because of the change in the date of Grade XIII examinations made by the provincial Department of Education. The track and field events were run off on june 3-4-5, following the afternoon exam. Peter Hunt, Barry Allmark and Rod Ennis-Smith were the winners in the senior, intermediate and junior divisions.

VVennberg. THE ASHBURIAN J CLCDSING DAY EXERCISES Ashbury's closing was held on the morning of Saturday. june H. About 1000 parents, friends and students filled our quad. As the closing was on a Saturday, many an out-of-town parent who could not have attended a mid-week closing was able to be here. This change from the usual Thursday may be continued for future closings. The skies were clear, the sun not too hot, and the whistling jets. which all week had been practising overhead, were silent. The Leaving Service opened the day's ceremonies at 9:30 a.m. This is always an impressive service, particularly for those boys who sing the school hymn, To Be a Pilgrim , and hymn 469, 'lLord Dismiss us with Thy Blessing , for tie last time. Prize Giving followed at 10:30 a.m. The Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. A. B. R. Lawrence opened the ceremonies and then called on the headmaster to give his report. Mr. Perry reviewed the year, mentioning his trip to England with its Ashbury Reunion attended by 48 01d Boys, parents and former staff members. He paid tribute to the Mothers' Guild for its fine support and interest. A dramatic moment followed with the reading of a long list of those who had been awarded scholarships because of their excellent results in the scholarship examinations recently held. This was the first public announcement of the winners, and many a parent listened anxiously. During his speech Mr. Perry told the assembly that his several years as headmaster had convinced him that there were four main types of parents. These were the over-protective, the harsh, the too-indulgent, and the normal. Vkhile pointing out that all present fell into the last category, he said that the independent school had a challenge to face in making children of the first three groups into normal citizens. The school Co-captains, Ross Blackburn and john Bethune next delivered their valedictory which will be found following this account. After the valedictory, a presentation was made by the graduating class to the headmaster of a painting. This has become a tradition, and as a result an Ashbury art gallery is taking shape. After this, another gift was made. Alt. Perry called Nlrs. Elsie Hunter to the stand and presented her with a silver tray on behalf of the governors and the school. Mrs. Hunter was retiring after completing twenty-four years of teaching at Ashbury. The main address of the afternoon was given by The Right Honourable Viscount Amory, High Commissioner for the United King- dom. He gave a most witty and thought provoking talk.

In thanking him, Xlr. Lawrence said that he spoke with sincerity in terming Lord Amory's address the best among the very many which he had heard. Academic prizes were presented by Nlr. H. B. Cunningham of the New Zealand High Commission, Xlr. R. A. Speirs, Headmaster of Selwyn House, Air. G. XY. Shaver, district school inspector, Ning Com- mander H.

Belcher and Robert Xloore Xlemorial Prizes, by Xlr. Shaver. Viscount Amory presented the Governor General's medal. Following the ceremony a buffet luncheon was served on the front lawn while the Band of the Governor General's Foot Guards provided pleasant background music. V A L E D I C T 0 R Y Deli-vered by R. Blafkbnrll and I. B6fl7IllIC-H6t1cT B0-vs Blackburn: Alf. Chairman. Viscount Amory, Xlr. Headmaster, Ladies and Gentlemen: As I complete my second year as a Prefect and my Hrst as co-captain of the School, many memories come to my mind. Memories of happiness. and memories of sadness. It has by no means been an easy year for my fellow Prefects and myself. There have been some who have taken great pleasure in antagonising the Prefect body, whilst there have been others who have stood by and done nothing. However, enough said about this. It is usually the custom for a Yaledictory to be crammed full of small philosophical comments. Although not usually a very philosoph- ical person, I will endeavor to disclose why it is that Ashbury means as much to me as it does. I have heard that wars have been won on the playing fields of Eton. whilst Harrow can be thanked for the likes of Sir lYinston Churchill. lYhen l come to think of it. l wonder which of us. past, present or future will carry the great name of Ashbury College down through the annals of history. l am afraid that it prob- i x I I I 1 1 1.

F I think that one of the main reasons for the institution of the private school, can be best explained by the motto of the cadet corps of this School. Unfortunately the motto is in Latin, so for the benefit of my fellow less-than-illustrious Geography students I will attempt to translate it: As the twig bends, so grows the tree . Here in a nutshell of Latin antiquity is what the private school has over our high school rivals. As a boarder at a school such as ours, over the years that one is here, should there be any faults in one's character, and there are always many, there is a good chance that they will be ironed out through the derision or comments of others. For this reason we may say that Ashbury moulds the character of a boy, teaches him to understand people and their prob- lems, and through this, making him a better person. Thank you Ross It was just five short years ago that I sat where you are sitting now and listened to the School Captain praise the School in glowing terms. I wondered if he really was doin this because he loved Ashbur or was . . . . - g Y . . it ust tradition or custom. Now after five very short ears, I am in his 1 . I . . . Y place and I now realize that everything he said was true and came from is heart. Unfortunately you do not realize what the school means to you until the time comes to leave. IVhen I first came to Ashbury I didn't know if I had made the right choice. I felt lost in its maze of endless rooms and corridors. I didn't know the difference between the tuck shop and room C - Mr. Brain's form room. The confusion could have proved disastrous. My first day of classes was not the first time I saw Ashbury College. I have lived most of my life next door to Ashbury and seen many improvements take place in a short space of time. Consequently - I knew a great deal about the school before I came here as a student. I watched while the workmen planted trees and built the workshed - amid cries of Scram Brat . I remember, when at Rockcliffe Park Public School, playing football against an Ashbury junior team watching the work being done on Argyle Building. I also, more recently, recall the building of the Physics Laboratory last year. This was yet another step toward making Ashbury a better school. Nevertheless despite the great number of improvements that have taken place in the past fifteen years I know that a number more are being considered in order to make our school the best. A new gym, a new library and an artificial ice rink are needed. On outdoor natural ice we THE ASHBURIAN 93 can only count on about six weeks skating. This seems a shame in a country whose national sport is hockey. At Ashbury we are very fortunate. Not only is a great deal of stress put on the academic work, but also there is a well rounded sport programme. I will admit, however, that I am sure in my old age I will recall with greater pleasure the many hockey and football games and trips - rather than the hours spent in the classroom. Right at this moment - during the senior matric exams - l wish that the classroom had held my attention as well as the sports did! How, on behalf of the graduating class, I would like to thank the members of the staff for all their assistance and patience. Also Ross and I join in thanking the prefects for their efforts during the year. I have one more duty to perform. Each year the graduating class presents a painting to the school as a way of saying Thank you Ash- bury . It is my pleasure to do so now on behalf of the 1963 graduates. 'EXE 94 THE ASHBURIAN LITERARY SECTION oUR nav or LIFE Our way of life in Canada is, as most things, mingled with faults as well as virtues. There are four main facts on which this statement is based: our great advancement in science gives us one of the highest standards of living in the world, this advancement, however, has resulted in our weakening, our young generation enjoys one of the finest systems of education, and, finally, our appreciation of such things as nature and art has dwindled considerably. In the first place, scientihc advancement has reached such a stage that hardly anything exists that is not controlled by a push-button . This enables us to do things faster, better, easier, and so, permits us to make the most of our time. Instead of piling logs to make a fire, we merely push a switch, instead of climbing buggies for a journey, we merely slide into a car, and instead of labouring with an oil-lamp, we merely touch a button. Nevertheless, this advancement is the cause of one of our greatest faults for, and this is our second point, it has softened us, weakened us, spoilt us and, as a result, we have allowed ourselves to fall into the easy warmth of laziness. Now that manual effort has been replaced by electrical gadgetry, we have allowed our spines to bend, our muscles to soften, our bodies to deteriorate. For example, in older days, long, brisk walks and strong, hard exercising were carried on as part of the diurnal chores of life, now, these have been replaced by a run down to the grocery storef' in the car or a tell john on the telephonew in the house. As a result, our bodies no longer have the energy, the eagerness, the vitallty that coursed through the blood of our fore-fathers. On the contrary, however, the third point of the discussion brings us a definite advantage. That is the standard of education to which we have risen. There is hardly a child who does HOF have the opportunity of obtaining a first-class education in his school. Teachers are being trained and the number of university professors is increasing. Our scope of knowledge is increasing also, and this cannot help but be one of the praiseworthy thngs of our way of life in Canada. Nevertheless, in the last place, and this could be our greatest fault, our lust for material wealth has caused us to lose a great deal of our appreciation of nature. To-day, we are no longer inspired by a roar- ing sea, or a cloudy sky. The average child has never given nature a second look but runs instinctively to the television for entertainment. XYhat has happened to us? lt is l-ttle wonder that XYordworth was led to say, XYe have given our hearts away. a sordid boon! THE ASHBURI.-IX 95 In conclusion, our way of life in Canada is by no means perfect but. on the other hand, by no means completely blameworthy. When all is taken into consideration we Iind ourselves probably no better off than our predecessors and probably no worse off than posterity. Gang:-zxsioxi-1 - L' YI THE XIEKIOIRS UF EDXYIN jAXIll-BON As I take pen in hand to give an account of my life, I find it quite difficult to suppress a good deal of inner mirth, for l, Iidwin jamieson, a respectable London banker, have perpetrated the perfect crime . Yes, I killed my wife. Though the police believe it was an accident, it was I who pushed her from my office window. I can understand your shock. You simply wouldn't believe that a meek, unassuming gentleman such as I would undertake such a thing. But I did. For you see, Maude and I never got along very well. Uh, I know we were the picture of happiness and content when we strolled in the park on Sunday afternoon, but she made home an unbearable place for me. I admit that in the beginning she was all a man could ask for. A good housekeeper, a wonderful mother, and cheerful even in the days when our future appeared dark. But in later years I noticed a deHnite change. Nothing you could put your Hnger on, mind you. But she was just different, somehow. Then one day, she actually raised her voice to me! You can well imagine my utter amazement. I was shocked, broken. From then on, Maude was completely impossible. She would break the yolk of my egg, make my tea too hot, and on one occasion I'm sure she hid my cricket bat. She did anything just to annoy me. I put up with it as long as I could. I considered divorce, but that would lose me favour in the sight of my fellow bankers. It had to be something which would get rid of her, so to speak, with the least possible mess. Of course, murder was what I had in mind. But how to do it so that I would not absorb the blame? Finally I hit upon my plan. I am sure you are aware of the details. having read them in the papers, but you will never really appreciate the intricate planning that went into that accident . I do not intend to disclose my plan, for I feel that it would bring about a rash of accidents if this manuscript is ever found. So you see, I did willfully commit murder. But the police will never learn of it during my lifetime. For I fooled them all. I proved I was innocent. They thought I did it, but I proved them wrong. Edwin Jamieson - july 10, 1905 Sunnydale Mental Hospital London, Nfl. Gaiuox - YI.-X 96 THE ASHBURIAN THE STORM For days the weather bureau had been keeping a vigilant eye on a large low-pressure area moving steadily westward from the Atlantic. lVhen this was classified as a hurricane, all areas in its path were given warning. Carlsbad was to receive the tail end of the winds, and police, rescue teams and ambulances were ordered to stand by as the storm was about to hit with all its devastating might. The reactions of the residents of Carlsbad were varied. Some panicked and hastily barred their shutters and checked their food supplies, while others merely shrugged it off as another inaccurate fore- cast, or even a joke. Toward four o'clock, however, it was apparent this was no joke. Through the veil of mist that shrouded the mountains, a thick. black, rolling mass of cloud could be seen rapidly blotting the sun from view. The pleasant southerly breeze had dropped. The air seemed dead. No leaf stirred on the trees and the great flock of pigeons which habitually filled the town park, especially at lunch time, was gone. Motorists travelling along the winding mountain roads were totally unaware of the grave danger that lay ahead, for those that had radios in their cars could not make out the repeated warnings to seek shelter, because of interference. The driver of a bus glanced at the sky and pressed his foot down slightly on the accelerator. He was behind schedule and sensed that he would be well advised to reach Carlsbad as soon as possible for the evening rest stop. A sports car sped past the bus with two students headed for a gay weekend break from their summer work. The two boys saw the fastly moving clouds but attached no particular importance to them. Old timers of Carlsbad knew what might happen. Even in late August, snow could come to their mountain region. Tons upon tons of choking white snow with howling winds to strip the trees, and to uproot the trees, tear down telephone poles and cables, and buffet houses into merciless submission to the blind and savage fury of the storm. At approximately eight o'clock the storm broke loose in all its relentless wrath. Branches of trees danced wildly in the air, sparking on hydro wires. A neon sign in front of one of the town's cafes swung dangerously, its iridescent glow sweeping the snow-covered street below. A sudden gust of wind blackened the sign's light and sent it crashing to the sidewalk in a shower of sparks and shattered glass. The roof of the post ofiice could be heard creaking and groaning under the heavy strain of wind and snow, then it collapsed in a mass of twisted girders and snapped trees. The local fire-watch tower tore from its foundations and plummeted down the hillside. Motorists abandoned snow-bound cars and, Hghting against terrific gusts of wind and driving snow sought the protection of farm house or THE ASHBURIAN 97 motel. The local ski lodge, normally closed at this time of year, opened its doors to all stranded, acting as a hotel and, in some instances, hospital combined. The bus driver had long since abandoned hope of making up his schedule, but was still looking forward to a cup of coffee and a piece of apple pie in the same cafe whose neon sign was scattered in drifting snow. As he was creeping down a steep slope, the bus skidded off the road and became stuck in a snow drift. The sports car was fighting its way through the blizzard. The temperature was dropping lower by the minute and without sufficient heat, the car's two occupants were becoming fatigued through cold. Although the headlights were on full, the driver failed to see a bend in the road. Suddenly, with a sound of splintering wood, both occupants experienced a feeling of weightlessness as the car hurtled oil: the road and plunged into a ravine below. The following morning, the entire countryside had a new and beautiful mantle of dazzling white snow. Telephone poles were lying across the roads and fields. Vlfires were scattered everywhere. Those trees that were still standing were completely stripped of leaves and twigs, and were fringed instead with a delicate frosting of sparkling snow. The storm was over and the dreadful, agonizing task of tidying up began. Rescue teams had to rely on their skis and dog teams for transportation. Snow removal equipment on all roads was constantly hampered by stranded and abandoned cars. A small black dog, barking excitedly led rescue teams to a half- buried touring bus. After a long period of digging, all thirty passengers and the driver piled out of the bus, slightly cold, but otherwise unharmed. At one point, a fresh break in the guide fence by the roadside led rescuers to a smashed sports car which contained the bodies of two young men. The storm was over, and it was not long before the small mountain community of Carlsbad was back on its feet again. But it would be many more days, even weeks, before the damage could be repaired, and the memories of this dreadful storm would last for years. Baowxixo - VIA FISHING TEACHES A LESSON VVillow Creek was a small town in Northern Ontario. On a Monday afternoon in june, jim Cosgrove could be seen striding along the hot dusty road leading from the brick schoolhouse to the center of town. That day, jimmy was in a rush because he wanted to look at the new Fishing outfit which was in the large picture window of Cald- wood's general store. Nlr. Caldwood donated a prize every year to the 93 THE .-ISHBURIAN liov under sixteen who caught the largest fish on the day of the annual fishing contest. After his eyes had gazed longingly at the outfit, jimmy wandered over to a group of boys who were discussing the contest which was to take place that Saturday. livery boy in jimmy's class was preparing his equipment for the event. Chuck Mills, who had won a beautiful casting rod in the contest the year before, was bragging to everyone that he was aiming for the prize again. He made quite a nuisance of himself with his boasting, and many of the boys were becoming quite sick of his superior manner. jimmy Cosgrove had a secret Hshing spot in a small inlet about three-quarters of the way down the lake, and not even his father could wrestle the secret from him. He had caught a number of large fish there and he was relying on his skill and luck to net him the contest winner. As the day of the contest drew nearer, the days seemed endless. KYhen Friday afternoon finally arrived, however, jimmy wasted no time in grabbing his trowel and worm bucket and going to the bog behind Halliday's farm. Chuck Mills was there when jimmy arrived and did not waste any time telling him of the huge fish he was planning to catch. jimmy moved to an ideal place and started to dig for worms. The next morning at 6:00, he headed toward the boat dock. There were a number of other boys there when he arrived, but after wishing them good luck, he started to row to his spot. The sun had just come up at that time, and the reflection from the water added a new zeal to his purpose. He could not help but hear the birds calling as if to say good luck. After half an hour's rowing, he reached the narrow inlet, and after looking around to see if anyone was watching, he rowed in and tied up to a fallen pine which lay extended on to the surface of the water. He caught a number of smaller Hsh which he returned to the pond, and at about 12:30 he received a very strong tug on his line. After about twelve minutes, he pulled in a large bass over the stern of the boat. This was the biggest fish that this spot had yielded for a long time as he remembered. Later, when he had returned to the landing, the boys were all await- ing the judging of the catches. He saw Chuck Mills over in a corner of the boat house and soon learned that in a fit of rage at losing a large pike, he had broken his rod. jimmy was declared the winner of the contest as he had caught the biggest fish. During the summer months, everyone noticed a big change in Chuck. lle did not boast at all of his ability, and as a result made friends with many of the boys. His act of poor sportsmanship had taught him a lesson and he had learned well from it. cik.-XNT - VIC THE ASHBURIHIX 1 I.llil-I FATIIILR-I-lKl . SON The scene is Ashbury College in 1993. A group of boys has entered the laboratory for the first chemistry class of the school year. The laboratory is outfitted in the most modern manner, with atomic reactors at every bench, laser lights at every second place, and various other gadgets of the atomic age scattered around the room. In addition there is the usual array of musty bottles containing a myriad of chemicals. The pupils in the class are the sons of Old Boys of the class of '63. The teacher, round, beaming, and bald, bustles to his desk. Good morning class. I have just had a look at the register and now upon seeing you I recognize most of you and no doubt most of you have heard of me. Now putting aside all formalities I'll get on with the business at hand and explain the lab. Those peculiar black boxes with all the gadgets are small atomic reactors. One must be quite careful with them as they can be dangerous. Those little purple things on pivots are laser lights, extremely powerful and rather dangerous. These are the main objects with which we will be dealing this year. Those bottles on your desks are the usual array of chemicals. Any sensible questions? Now gentlemen, we haven't got any time to waste so let's get on with it. Your first experiment, if1,f3, is The splitting of the uranium atom and its transmutation into Rubium and lead. You will note especially the side effects and the amount of energy produced. Now you each have three pounds of uranium, get on with it and remember IQ I NIC. Now that's the way I like to see a class work, everybody busy and no unnecessary naise. Keep it down gentlemen. You're getting loud. Gentlemen, keep the noise down. Boys, boys, shut up! The way you boys talk and gab you'd think there wasn't discipline in this school. If the . . . XYHOS CUSSINGF Blackburn, what? Sulphuric acid all over your hands?

Johnston you numbskull! Stop fooling around with that laser beam. What were you doing? Yaporising fiies! You idiot! Do you realize how dangerous that thing is. XVhy it'll burn a hole through three feet of the finest steel, and that's a fact. How did those holes get in the wall? XYell, you'll come in Saturday and think about them. 100 THE ASHBURIAN Now, Armour, how's your group getting along? Yes, yes, ok. That's fine. By the way where is Himmelman? VV hat sort of garbage is that. Appointment, rubbish! Yes, Smallian, you had your hand up? VVhat are we doing? M'bov how can you sit there with that grin on your face and be so stupid. Smallian if you ask another stupid question like that I'll gate you for the rest of the term. Davidson, what are you doing there? Getting more uranium for Armour? OK, but be careful. Zaporski, you should have sense enough not to pour radioactive isotopes down the drain. You can imagine what it does to the plumbing and I assure you Mr. Hendricks hates getting into his lead suit. Now get away from there! VVho's whistling in the back. Hunt, I don't care who told you, you never whistle while you work in my class, and furthermore you never taste chemicals, never. IV hat are you pointing at Hunt? VVell, Fisher what's wrong with you? You've what? Burnt your nose! VVhy, where is your nose? Ye gods and little fishes. How could anyone . . . Class! Class! Stop everything and listen to me a minute. That includes you too, Reid. XVhat do you think you boys are doing? You, Armour, turn down that reactor. You want to kill us all? Now listen. You boys don't have any more idea of what you're doing than the man in the moon. If you keep this up you'll have as much chance in the nationals as a snowball in hades. Now get on with it, and if youlve got any complaints come to me. XVhat's this? A petition! lYhere's Armour? Armour, I'll see you on Saturday too. I don't care if the whole Russian Air Force lands on the quad, you'll be here Saturday and not barnstorming about in that Hying trap of yours. Spence, what's that you've got there? Plutonium? Get rid of it. No! No! No! Not in your reactor, you clown. It's what? Getting hot? Quick! put on the cadmium control! No, no! Quick! Now you've done it .... . . . And here is the news. Today a nuclear explosion at one of Canada's leading prep schools heavily damaged the city of Ottawa. A spokes- man for the school said the boys responsible will be put up to the wall. The teacher is in hospital recovering from severe shock. THE ASHBURIAN 10, THE PARALLEL Major Robert Gaines was seated comfortably in his couch atop an Atlas booster rocket. The countdown was now at T minus 30 seconds and counting. The men in the control tower were tense as thev watched the second hand of the huge clock move to T minus Ill seconds-9..8..7..6..S..+..3..2..1..0! Therocket engines roared and the Atlas booster was on its way, slowly at first, but gaining speed all the time. In a few minutes Robert Gaines was making his first orbit of the earth. He would be up there for a week and he was looking forward to his trip. His close friend, Richard Clanton, and General lfdmund Harvey were to be in close contact with him at all times. As he was approaching his fifteenth orbit, he began to have some uneasy moments. His space capsule, Flebus 3, seemed to be losing all radio contact with earth. At Cape Canaveral and at other points in the world they were losing contact with him too. A near panic settled over the control area as Flebus 3 began gradually to fade from the radar screens and radio contact was Finally broken. Up in Flebus 3, Robert Gaines tried once more to get the earth but to no avail. Then there was a blinding flash in front of him and he was knocked unconscious. VVhen he awoke he found himself on a bed with a doctor examining him. His friend, Dick, and General Harvey were also in the room. They began asking him what had happened up there. He could tell them nothing except that he was knocked unconscious. The General looked puzzled at this and Bob found out why when he said that Bob's space capsule, Flebus 3, was found 47 miles from where he had taken off, on land! He still could not tell them anything, and they left with a confused look on their faces, telling him to have a good rest. In a few days Bob Gaines was ready to go home, Dick drove him there and on his way Bob jokingly said that he wondered if President Kennedy would pin many medals on him. At this Dick was shocked. He hadn't even heard of President Kennedy! They got home safely. but just before Bob walked down his pathway he noticed that there was a picket fence in front of his house. He knew that in front of bis house there 'was not a picket fence. He was even more puzzled when he noticed that on his coat were markings to identify him as a colonel and not as a major. As he walked in the door his wife and child greeted him warmly but after a few hours his wife began to notice something different about him, and when his daughter came near him and he touched her, she suddenly became afraid and ran to her room crying. Back at the Cape, experts were examining Bob's space capsule. which had landed so near them. They had come to the conclusion that this capsule was not the same one he had taken off in. Almost every- fag THE ASHBURIAN thing about it was the same except for a minor detail in the wiring. Bob wasfasked to come down and examine the capsule. They asked him if this was Astro 7, the space ship he had taken off in. Surprised at the name they had given it, he said it was of course, Flebus 3. Everybody was astounded at this remark! Then all of a sudden Bob heard voices. He didn't know who they were but it sounded like the intercom of his capsule. Nobody else in the room heard them however, and suddenly he became frightened and ran towards his ship. XVhen he got there, there was a blinding flash, and he found himself in his space capsule once again circling the earth! I He landed and was taken to the Cape for treatment. He dozed, and when he awoke he saw his friend Dick and General Harvey in the room and a doctor examining him. He asked the General, who the President of the United States was, and when he was told Kennedy, Bob was relieved. He told his story of there being a parallel to the earth in another dimension with everything the same except for a few minor changes. Naturally, his friends Hgured that his space trip had been a little too much for him or that it was a dream. Bob found he was a major again. Dick and General Harvey told Bob to have a good sleep and they left. VVhen they got outside Bob's room a man from the control tower came up to them and said that the tower had an unidentiHed object on their radar screen and they were able to make radio contact with it. A voice identified his space craft as Astro 7 and that he was Colonel Robert Gaines! JOHNSON-VA MERRY CHRISTMAS lt was Christmas morning. The sun was just peeping over the horizon when I awoke, and its thin rays were just beginning to scatter the early-morning mist. I sat up in bed, and looked at my clock. It was five-thirty. Soon I would hear the clatter of the tin pots in the kitchen, as Mrs. Nlurphy prepared our breakfast, and the slow, methodical creek and gush of the pump outside my window as grandpa filled his large washing basin with cold water. It has been the same every morning, since I can remember, and I guess it always will be. I looked down at the floor, and followed the pattern of smooth strips of oak, worn white by generations of pattering, bare feet. It looked cold and uninviting at 5: 30 on any morning. I knew it was Christmas day, although l tried not to think about it. lYe never celebrated on this day because grandpa thought it was a waste of time, and Mrs. Murphy did not have time for such silly things . The slow slapping of sandals sounded on the old stairs, and suddenly my door swung open. There stood Nlrs. Xlurphy, smiling as I had never seen her smile before, and carrying a steaming tray of breakfast - Merry Christmas! she said. C.ANIPBEILL-XTIA THE .4SHBL'R1.4X 103 THE XYAS.-X: ILL-F.-XTED SHIP OF THF. SXYIQDISH NAVY The date was August 26. 1628. The XYasa, pride of the Swedish Navy was being towed out of the harbour. She was one hundred and eighty feet long, and displaced about one thousand four hundred tons. The XYasa was bound for Germany, on her maiden voyage, with a cargo of arms and ammunitions for the King of Sweden. i It was a beautiful day as the sun shone on the crystal water and formed grotesque patterns against the glistening sides of the XYasa. Multi-coloured Hags stretched from bow to stern and sailors and their wives danced on the deck. As it was the XYasa's maiden voyage. the wives had been permitted to sail. with their husbands to the outer harbour where they were to disembark. The tow line was dropped, one of the 64 bronze cannons on board boomed a salute to the city of Stockholm, and the VVasa, dipping gently in the slight swell, headed toward the open sea. Only a few minutes later she was hit by a sudden squawl. One eyewitness wrote, the ship heeled over ungloriously and sank within minutes . There were few survivors. An investigation was made but the cause of the disaster was never found. Years passed and the lYasa was forgotten and she settled deeper into the harbour bottom. In 1920, a ship that had been wrecked at about the same time was identified by the marine historian Nilo Akenbund. It was while he was talking to Anders Franzen. a Stock- holm oil engineer that he mentioned the ship Vasa. Mr. Franzen, his interest Whetted, set out to make a svstematic search of the harbour for the ship. i For the next few summers Anders devoted his time to dredging the harbour but without success. Finally in 195 6. divers recovered pieces of oak which led him to believe he was on the right track. He proposed that the arsenal train its skin divers there. and, in no time at all. the XYasa was found intact. 32 metres below the surface. Employing methods dating back to 1555. many divers risked their lives to scoop out six tunnels under the submerged ship, around which they then wrapped 5000 feet of six-inch cable and attached them to pontoons placed on both sides of the ship. By a complicated process they were able to refioat the hulk. Finally on May -1. 1961. the XYasa lay Hoating on her own keel and was towed to her drydock at Dyurdgarden. Some- time in 1963, she will be moved to a museum which will house her. The recovery of the vessel and many of the decorative elements and articles used aboard is easily, the most important event in the short history of marine archaeologyn. No other warship of equal age has survived and there is little knowledge of ship construction prior to the 18th centuryg for it was only then that shipbuilders began to work from plans. The water of the Baltic is not very salty, and termites and other sea parasites cannot live there. Consequently. while most old warships have 104 THE ASI-IBURIAN fallen to pieces, the XVasa was still in fine condition. It is for this reason that Sweden decided to spend millions of crowns to bring the magnificent but ill-fated man-of-war to the surface, after she had lain for more than three hundred years below the surface. .ily interest in the circumstances leading to the recovery resulted from a trip I made to see the XV asa during the summer of 1961. ALLNIARK - VIC AB INITIO AD INFINITUM The blackened, half-rotted, pitch-covered figure swung gently in the breeze, with an occasional rattle from the chains which supported it. The warm afternoon sun cast long, distinct shadows on the ground of the post with its gruesome figure, and of the man who stood looking up at it. After a brief pause the man turned, spat reflectively into the ditch beside the road, and then proceeded to seat himself beneath the hedge- row. From one of the many pockets of his voluminous coat, he produced half a loaf, a piece of cheese and a fiask of Dutch spirits. Having solemnly placed this provender on a large, white, much-tattered handkerchief, the former burglar's accomplice set to with an avid appetite. As he ate, he presented a somewhat strange appearance. His long greasy locks, slightly flecked with grey, hung almost to his shoulders and were half concealed by an ancient and disreputable three-cornered hat. This object seemed to be of some value to its owner, in spite of its appearance, for, from time to time, he paused in eating and reached up to it, as if to reassure himself as to it's presence upon his head. XV hen he had finished his meal, the man drank the remainder of the spirits, tossed the fiask into the hedgerow and proceeded to fold, with great care, the handkerchief. He then stood up, stretched, and made as if to set off down the road again. At this juncture, another figure appeared. The latter was tall and stood with a slight stoop, but all the same was of an imposing countenance. However the thing about him which riveted the attention of our first character was the pair of long-barrelled horse-pistols which the intrudor grasped firmly in his hands. The desperado pointed with one of his pistols at the tattered hat of the other, and, when the latter made no movement, the new arrival still without speaking, cocked his weapons with a significant nod. At this, the first man, with a howl of rage, hurled himself forward. There was a sharp report, a puff of smoke, and then silence. Having first retrieved the hat, it's new owner moved down the highway. counting out the golden guineas which had made heavy its crown.

The night winds blow across the sands, Storm clouds on the verge appear. Man strives to live his life in peace, But now all hope gives place to fear, For across the lands come fearful sounds Of rifle shots and children crying, Angry words and threatening words, Of shells exploding, people dying.

But all sad things must finally end, And there is an end to every war, Your enemy now becomes your friend, And men return to their home once more Some will return to their native lands, But there will be many, many more XYho will not hear the triumphant bands This is the sorrow and price of war.

FULLER-VA THE STORE The store faced a narrow pot-holed street lined with relics of the past. These took the form of dingy houses, grubby cafes, pool halls, and the like all bustling with life. In this respect the small store differed. The store seemed out of place with its dirty windows packed with junk, a broken gramaphone with its huge ear listening to the street sounds through a cracked window pane. Next to it was an old model television set. Inside the store the walls were crowded with pots, pans, relics of the first world war, a baseball bat, and other things which had collected over the years. The cracked show case was packed with broken watches, rusty pen knives and cheap jewelry. Throughout this quiet shop there was only one new article. This was a small sign which hung above the door reading, Condemned,'. EARNSHAXV-Ixv UNGAVA BAY I love to listen on stormy nights To the loud booming surf in the Bay, Dark clouds hiding the northern lights, The pounding of waves on the clay. A dark fishing schooner tugs at its mooring And groans as it's knocked all about, The howling wind, a devil alluring, Seems to wail, and cry, and shout. March is the season renowned for its fury As any old seadog will say, For many a vessel has never returned From the gales of a mad March day. XIACLAREX - VIC ms THE ASHBURIAN ODE TO TI-IE FOUR SEASONS O, that it were springtime, With many things to do, Baseball, golfing, hunting, stalking, Cricket, shooting, running, walking. O, that it were summer, And all the things I'd do. Swimming, tennis, basking, floating, Diving, fishing, skiing, boating.

But winter, dreadful winter, With all its gruesome weather, O, that it would go away.

The memories of the distant past would haunt him evermore. The shells, the dust, the grief, the strain that always go with war. He remembered the battle of Petersburg and all its smoke and hell, And how he had pulled the trigger on a friend he once knew well. He remembered how at Appomattox he marched in utter defeat, To surrender himself, his men and arms at the Northern soldiers' feet. But now the strife was over and the havoc of war was done, So home he marched with bitter thoughts of how the North had won. Never again the Confederate Hag would hang from buildings and churches, And on he IIILISI go until at last he finds the truth he searches. Then came the day the rebel approaches his old Atlanta home, And how at the thought his heart rejoiced, no longer would he roam. XYith gun in hand he walked towards the charred and broken gate, But when he saw how all was lost, he knew it was too late. THE ASHBURIAN 109 He had heard how in '64 Atlanta was razed to the ground, VVhile the Union soldiers like vultures with their armies stood around. All the citizens of Atlanta in a frightened panic Hed, Vlfith the raging fire consuming both their houses and their dead. But now to the coming future, the rebel raised his face, And now in a changing world he again would take his place. No more would his visions of hope be clouded by deeds of war, And the lonely rebel moved on, to start his life once more.

Eventually all get out of bed, YVatching them move, they seem made of lead. Then it's a race to get to the showers, For all the boys want to smell like Howers. Back at the room it is quite a sight, A result of the chaos the preceding night. It's do your job and dress in a hurry, For a tidy room will bring no worry. Soon the master will come to inspect, And each room's aim is to gain his respect.

I see how words we said, how plans we made Are now all gone forever, shattered, lost, And in their place a lonely longing is That like a wide abyss will not be crossed. But still, another love she's not yet found, Although I doubt that it will take her long, Another love I'll never find, for now The only girl I care about is gone. Today, because she's left me, gone away, I sit, remember, contemplate, and stare At four grey walls surrounding me, though More bleak, for never more will she be there. But then, when to my mind I call a friend XVhose friendship, never waning, always true, VVill lift me from my present downcast state I know that I can start my life anew. HOLD BOYS GAME The biggest event of all the year Is when the Old Boys game is here. Some come from near, some from far Some by plane, but most by car. The game's exciting and full of thrills XVith lots of action and numerous spills, They are rough and no one can deny it .Xnd often the game turns into a riot. The game seems rugged but the aim is tI'LlC, VVhen the old Ashburians clash with the new. Many a cheer from the roaring crowd Gives us a reason to be proud.

Several people were consulted regarding apparent reluctance to get started this year, and it was generally agreed that the death of the Ashburian's Senior Staff Advisor, Nlr. Belcher, was a contributing factor. Mr. Belcher had devoted an uncountable number of hours to the magazine for many years, and in spite of Nlr. Polk's willingness to take over at short notice, there is still a noticeable void among the people connected with your magazine Another factor was the long hard winter. XYe associate the Ashburian with spring and all the activities which go on around Ashbury in this short, exciting term. Snow on May 2nd didn't help your junior Ashburian Staff to get in the mood . David Berger, a tireless worker - as those who try to displace him from the top of the form already know - has handled the position of Editor with his usual efliciency. Our magazine will always present a creditable review of the junior School year while we can produce boys like David, willing to devote the time and effort to the causen. Last Easter I attended the conference of the Independent Schools' English Teachers Association at Upper Canada College. The first session was devoted to the discussion of just such magazines as yours, and it was agreed by the Editors and Staff Advisors present that our schools must continue to publish at least a yearly magazine. It is to be hoped that you agree, to the extent that you will support the Editorial Staff. L. I. H. S. EDITORIAL This is the eighth issue of the junior Ashburian. Like its predecessors its objectives are to inform the school and the parents, of the junior School's accomplishments and activities of the past year and to keep a record for the future. I hope that we have done this in the standards and traditions that have been set in former years. It has been my ambition to make the year's publication better than ever and I hope that we succeeded. I want to thank all those who contributed and who co-operated in the task. As usual this required some work and attention. But again Whether in sport, in work, or play there is satisfaction and a reward in getting something done. Finally, to all the teachers and all the pupils, my best wishes for the future.

True, from time to time we get off course and bump into our parent. Perhaps the little ones are changing for games at their lockers below Nlr. Brain's classroom while he is teach- ing. He will firmly set us back in orbit again! This crash back to earth does not happen too frequently, however. I feel that we have had a good year. The general attitude to work is a healthy one. XYith small boys it is easy to build up the feeling that to do well in the classroom is a manly achievement, and there is quite a strong competitive spirit evidenced in IHOSI of the Forms. This spirit was encouraged by the announcement of a prize which was to be awarded to that Form whose marks increased by the greatest percentage between Fall Half-Term Tests and the Christmas Ilxams. It was a dramatic assembly when the results were announced and Transitus A was declared the winner. Another inducement is the magic phrase NILTS. This means Michelmas-Lent-Trinity Standing and is the average of a boy's work throughout the year. For a boy to get his NILTSH he must have an average of 7533 or better. IYhen this happens the lucky NlLTS'er lounges in sunny comfort while the others are sweating it out in the exam hall. This year a program was introduced to fill in the hours more effectively. The boys swam at the Chateau pool, visited Canada Packers and the Canadian International Paper Company, saw a good movie and visited a session of the House of Commons. On the field of athletic battle the juniors had a fair year, losing about as many games as they won. However again there was a healthy spirit and almost haif of our boys played on one or another of the many teams. During our culture periods we had a series of varied entertainments ranging from public speaking contests to Khan NIohammed's cricket talk to the all-white folk singer. The latter was the most popular of all, I feel, appealing to boys from Grade I to Grade VIII. Our boarding life has followed the pattern laid down many years ago, and seems to serve. VVe have had a happy Wing. The Island in the Big House had a difficult year and emerged without too many scars. Here is where our space capsule most frequently touched back to earth and the boys of Room 10 had a memorable year, one that they will look back upon in later life with amusement and pleasure. Mackenzie merits particular congratulations for his control of the room. It was a tough job and he handled it well. 116 THE ASHBURIAN IV e had two matrons this year. Miss Lewington returned to England at Christmas, after a pleasant two years here, and her place was taken by Mrs. Boyce, who has fitted admirably into our life. We hope she will stay with us for many, many years. Mr. Daratha, who will be away for two years teaching Canadian Service children in Germany, carried on in his conscientious way, keep- ing a fatherly eye over the VVing. The bulk of the evening supervision was performed by Mr. Gillean, our new junior Duty Master and I was particularly impressed with his constant cheerfulness and co-operation. He was a great help and we look forward to his return in the fall. These notes must not fail to mention Mr. Spencer. He deals with travel arrangements, one of the most difficult extra-curricular jobs which a junior school master may be called upon to handle. But his greatest value is as a personality. To be a successful master in a private school one must be something of a character, and here We have our Mr. Spencer. He is a fine teacher who makes a strong impression on the boys, both in the classroom and on the playing Helds. It is Mr. Spencer who will be remembered when our juniors are reminiscing at Old Boy reunions, and remembered with affection and respect. MEMORIAL WING NOTES On the whole, this year has been quite satisfactory. Mr. Daratha and Mr. Gillean have kept an eye on things. We have again, as in the past used the Island in the Big House, which is a room in the Senior School. Each year Mr. Polk and the other junior masters get together and pick the best room in the wing for the wing prize. The room that wins can go to a movie and supper in town. The five monitors this year have helped the masters a great deal to manage the wing. This way everything ran smoothly. VVe are sorry to see Mr. Daratha leaving in june, but Mr. Gillean shall be returning, and we hope that someone shall take Mr. Darathals place as well as he did. Mr. Polk has been very kind to us all, and we all thank him. The XVing Commander, LARRY AIOQUETTE I 1 THE ASHBURI.-IN 1,7 NIRS. HUNTER As the oldest boy in the junior School, I think I should have the privilege of wishing Mrs. Hunter a very happy retirement. No doubt there will be other tributes to her, for she has spent many profitable years at Ashbury, prohtable, that is, for the boys who have been fortunate enough to pass through her capable hands. VVe would assure Mrs. Hunter that every boy in the junior School will be thinking about her when school opens, and we will be wondering just how she kept away after all these years. Please take care of your- self, and come back and see us. IVe know you will be interested in what we are doing, and we, too, will be anxious to hear your news. God speed, Mrs. Hunter. Bois Soccn-Trans. A Bob Souch has written a very nice tribute to Nlrs. Hunter which speaks for all the boys, however I feel that a further blessing from one of her colleagues is in order. Elsie has been a stalwart of the junior School. The boys who have gone through her hands have received strict, no-nonsense. and extremely conscientious teaching. Leaders in all Canadian fields - members of parliament, headmasters, doctors and lawyers, have got their start with Nlrs. Hunter. Near miracles of educational salvation have been per- formed in her classroom and during those regular after-lunch sessions which she unselfishly took on as part of her regular teaching day. Ashbury has lost a fine teacher, I think it can be said Ashbury has lost a great teacher. IVe will all miss her. ii , IIS THE ASHBURIAN MRS. HUNTER The strictest teacher in Ashbury Mrs. Hunter I will say. I like her though because she's nice, And teaches me all day. Mrs. Hunter is a very nice person I hope you think so too! She's a better teacher than any of your Other teachers too! She's been at Ashbury a long, long time, And taught most boys at school. She's a very nice lady and is respected By anyone Who's not a fool. IVIACDONALD II-IIA JUNIOR SCHOOL CHAPEL During the year daily Chapel services were held with the lesson being read by the Monitors in rotation. This year Anketell-jones, Chown, Day I, Hampshire, johnson, Moulds, Mackenzie, Moquette, and Millar have been our readers. Our Junior Housemaster, Mr. D. L. Polk, has read the lesson at 'the beginning of term' and 'the end of term' services. At each daily service the junior Chaplain has given a short 'thought for the day'. On Fridays it has been our pleasure to have our Chaplain, the Reverend K. B. Monks, lead in the worship service. Our Chapel Organist, Mrs. H. S. Dalton, our Chapel Monitor, Hampshire, and our Choir Monitor, Souch, have given devoted service to their duties in the Chapel and we thank them for their work. All in all the Services of the Chapel have been greatly enriched by those who have taken their part with diligence and sincerity. Mr. L. I. H. Spencer and Mr. S. M. Daratha have led the religious exercises for our Roman Catholic boys. VVe thank them for their work. Our junior School boys have had an important place in our School Choir which is under the direction of Mr. Godfrey Hewitt, F.R.C.O. To Mr. Hewitt and the Choir members we say thank you. E. ATTWELL, - Izmior Chaplain THE ASHBURIAN 119 JUNIOR CHAPEL NOT!-iS In a Christian school, the centre of school life is the Chapel. Ash- bury is lucky in having such a beautiful Chapel, and two Chaplains to look after the spiritual life of the boys. lYe welcomed in September our own junior Chaplain, Rev. E. C. Attwell, who also teaches in the junior School. The choir, under the direction of Nlr. Godfrey Hewitt, continues to improve. The numbers this year appeared smaller, but the quality was excellent. They appeared at Christ Church Cathedral one Sunday, with pleasing results, and again at St. Bartholomew's Church, the Parish Church of Rockcliffe Park. Boys were prepared for Confirmation by the Lord Bishop of Ottawa Csee report in Senior Sectionj. This is always an important service in the school year. Two Carol Services were held, in the presence of large congregations, the Christmas Carol Service and the Festival of Nine Carols and Lessons at Easter. STEPHEN PIABIPSHIRE, Junior Chapel Monitor JUNIGR POETRY READING There was the usual large field in the junior Poetry Reading Contest, necessitating an elimination contest. From the nineteen boys who read The Blue Heron by Theo Goodridge Roberts, plus a sonnet of their own choice, four were to face the judge from Carleton Univer- sity. Through pressure of work - even the classes at the University are getting larger! - our judge of former years, Professor Johnston, was not able to come to judge the finals. As the enthusiasm in the junior School is so encouraging, it was decided to award a prize on the markings for the elimination contest. It was the unanimous decision of the judges, Nlr. Daratha and Nlr. Spencer, that Chris Chown, Peter Cann, Philip Loftus, and Bob Soueh should be the finalists. XVhen it became apparent that a winner had to be chosen from these four boys, notes were compared, and once again a unanimous decision was reached. Bob Souch was the winner. Particular mention should be made of the boys from the lower grades who entered. It is encouraging to your English teachers, and would preclude the idea that poetry is a thing of the past . 120 THE ASHBURIAN JUNIOR PUBLIC SPEAKING The junior Public Speaking contest toolf on a new look this year. It was an extemporaneous competition, with one boy from each Form in Grades VII and VIII being nominated by the Form. It was unfortunate that no volunteer from Transitus A would enter, and the nominee had such a severe attack of stage fright he was not able to speak. Peter Cann, speaking on The Importance of Soil gave an interesting account of manls dependence on the soil, flavoured with scientific terms no doubt learned from Science Class. In spite of his inclination to be repetitious, his speech was well received. Tony Farrugia's title, Ashbury Today was less scientific but closer to the hearts of his audience. XVith more practise, Tony will doubtless become an accomplished public speaker. Philip Michelson chose the controversial topic, Capital Punish- ment and handled it with thoughtfulness and insight. However, his nervous habit of swinging from foot to foot reduced his chances of success. It is suggested that he endeavour to overcome his obvious nervousness before he speaks in public. Mr. Spencer, who judged the contest, awarded the winner's prize to Peter Cann. H UMANE SGCIETY ESSAYS There was great excitement the day the Headmaster called a junior School Assembly to present the prizes to the winners of the Rockcliffe Auxiliary of the Humane Society Essay Contest. Either the competition was too severe this year, or our talent was weaker, but Grade VIII Cboth Transitus A and BJ failed to win one of the three prizes awarded to the Grade VIII pupils of the three Rockcliffe Park Schools. How- ever, some consolation was gained when Mr. Perry announced that the standard in the other three grades was particularly high this year. In paying tribute to Mr. Spencer for his tenth year of bulldozing boys into entering this competition, the Headmaster suggested that perhaps next year we will bring the D. P. Cruickshank Trophy Cthat beautiful silver horse Bruce Deacon won last yearj back to Ashbury in the Fall of 1963.

Although the Grade VIII boys of Ashbury have always been among the prize winners in previous competitions, this year no prizes were awarded in the Grade C Division Cessays from boys andfor girls under 14 years of agej. Last year's younger boys, now in Grade IX, were not able to afford the time during a busy pre- examination period, and the standard of this year's Grade VIII evidently did not impress the judges sufficiently to merit awards being made. As it is felt that the objects and aims of the Royal Commonwealth Society are worthy of Commendation, Ashbury will try again in the Fall of 1963, and hope to be among next year's prize winners. The Commonwealth is well represented at our school, both among the staff and students, and we offer the Society best wishes for the continued success of their worthwhile projects. THE JUNIOR DANCE This winter the junior School held its first dance. There had been some interest in the dance idea all fall, and with the assistance of Mr. Gillean, Forms Transitus, IIIA and IIIB were allowed to go ahead and plan. For those unable to obtain dates, blind dates were arranged. The junior Masters were invited, and the school kitchen, especially Mark, promised help with sandwiches, cakes and cookies for supper. The record player and the soft drinks were provided by Mr. Gillean. Different boys brought records, and these were many and varied, including twist, limbo and waltzes. Mr. and Mrs. Polk received our dates and even danced a few dances to our music. I am sure that you would receive an enthusiastic reply if you asked the boys who were present if the idea worked . The Form III boys certainly hope that the junior Dance will become an annual event. And why shouldn't it when we have such a nice place in which to have our dance? ROBBIE METCALFE THE JUNIOR LIBRARY Thanks to the generous donations from the Ashbury College Mothers' Guild, and the Headmaster's subscriptions to Life and Geo- graphic , the junior Library has become an important part of the Junior School. The series of Nature Books, put out by Life have proved invaluable, and have been well thumbed - by clean thumbs, of course. The Young Peoples Encyclopedia, a gift of the Mothers' Guild, is another valuable addition. 7' THE ASHBURIAN 125 It is a pity that the other librarians, Skead and Millar, have not been kept very busy issuing other books from the library. There are always regular customers in any library, and this makes the acquiring of a good library essential, but I do feel the ordinary run of boys should be more interested. I have another complaint - the mess in which thc boarders leave the library every weekend. It would be well for next year's Librarian to remind bovs that books in good condition are gratefully accepted. I wish my successor best of luck in his efforts for Ashbury. Niou Sims MUSIC A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. Goethe The music classes in the junior School are given with one purpose in mind, the exploration of great music in order to increase a life-long pleasure in daily living. Only through actual experience in listening. rhythmic response and participation, can students come to love and understand music. In the earlier grades recognition of rhythm is an important factor, and this has been introduced by action songs, eurythmics, and Rhythm Band. This year we experimented with Hutophones in teaching the staff reading. Projects were done on the lives of the composers, and some boys showed considerable artistic ability in this endeavour. The music of Bach, Handel, Haydn, Brahms, Schumann, Schubert, Strauss, Liszt and Grieg were studied. After nineteen years of teaching music to the junior boys at Ash- bury, I am looking forward to the challenge of a new term. IRENE IVOODBURN 1fMrs. Charles P. M'rightj HOUSE AND LEAGUE GAMES The junior School was divided into the traditional Soccer League composed of Arsenal, Bolton, Lutontown, Manchester United, Preston and Miolverhampton. Mr. Spencer and Mr. Fronton were referees for the two league games played each day, while Mr. Attwell coached the romping Farm Cfrom which the future league stars are bornj. Me had a close season and in the play-offs the Arsenal outshot Wolverhampton 2-0 and Bolton defeated Preston 3-0. In the final game Arsenal had to go into overtime to beat Bolton 1-0. In the House Matches Alexander defeated Connaught 1-0 and went on to a close win over lYoollcombe by the same score. 12-1 THE ASI-IBURIAN Iiqually close were our league play-offs in the hockey season. Toronto edged Detroit 2-1 and Boston nosed out Chicago 1-0. In the finals the score was Detroit 1, Boston 0. In House matches Alexander had the powerhouse, and gained a bye into the final round, to defeat XVoollcombe 4-O. This year in the Cricket matches, each House fielded a first and a second team. The First XI winner was Alexander and the Second XI winner Qafter a most exciting last five minutes of playj was Woollcombe. BRIDGE As the Director of the North American Bridge Tournament, Mr. Stan Tench fa future parent! J, was anxious to increase the number of local Collegiate entries in the 1963 Tournament, it was decided to enter a team of eight from Ashbury. As the tournament was held during the Winter Term, we had to compete with Hockey and Debating, neverthe- less the enthusiasts Menzies and Bow, Deacon and Stone, Thurston and Cook, with Mr. Polk and myself at the fourth pair, each completed 72 hands with Rubber Bridge scoring. Up until the final session, it was anybody's game . With a narrow margin, the Staff pair won our group trial, and went on to compete at the district Semi-Hnals, held at the Clarke Memorial Centre. Surviving four elimination rounds, Polkie and I qualified for the finals, held the following evening at the Town House Motel. It would be pleasant if we could report a victory in this final round of 28 diflicult hands. For this nerve wracking experience we received a certiHcate and a ten inch trophy from the sponsors of the continent-wide tournament, the North American Van Lines. IAN SPENCER-Captain, Group 38-C TRANSITUS UA CLASS TRIPS The Hrst trip for our class, was, like the second, a very enjoyable one. In the morning we visited the Magistrate's Court where we were introduced to Sergeant Polk who pointed out various points of interest in the courtroom. First of all, the persons charged with an offence were filed in. Then certain lawyers would request a recess. After this the Magistrate made a personal welcome to the boys of Ashbury and said he hoped we could stay for the last case which was breaking and entering. Some of the other cases tried that morning were automobile theft, disturbing the peace, and assault. The breaking and entering case, we found very interesting but we were disappointed when it was recessed for a week. Next on our list was the Ottawa Citizen Building. Here we were taken around by one of the reporters and shown every point of interest. NYC saw the room where all the reporters brought in their bulletins. It ,L H THE ASHBURIAN 125 was explained to us how the type was set and how pictures were trans- ferred onto the newspaper. XYe visited the loading room and the room where the substance for the type was made. Some of us were luckv enough to get our names engraved in the steel. To conclude our visit we were given Ottawa Citizen pens. Our last excursion of the day was to the Houses of Parliament. XYe Went into the seats above all the Members of Parliament and listened to the Orders of the Day . After this eventful day we were SCIH home. This year a new idea was brought to the junior School by Mr. Polk. It was a contest to see which form could improve its average percentage of marks the most, between the Half-Term and Christmas Exams. This was made mostly to encourage the boys to study harder. The winner Qwhich was Transitus A J was given a day, completely devoid of any cultural aspects. First we went to the Pure Spring Plant where we were met by the foreman, Bob Martin. Wie were shown the process of sugaring the water, and cleaning the bottles. XVe were taken to the loading platform, and shown how the trucks were painted. VVC were also shown the advertising room. After we had been shown how the drinks were made, we were taken upstairs and given free drinks. Next we went to the Mint. Here everything was kept well under guard and no samples could be given. One of the highlights was when we were taken to the room where huge bags of gold and silver were loaded OHIO the wagons. Since there was time after this we paid a short visit to the VVar Museum. Here we saw all types of guns and we saw the jacket General XVolfe was wearing when he was shot. After this we spent an enjoyable hour swimming at the Chateau Laurier. Then we ate lunch at the Honey Dew restaurant and to finish off the day we saw VV alt Disney's movie, Almost Angels . We are very grateful for such a perfectly wonderful time and owe our sincerest thanks to Mr. Polk. STOCKY D.AX'-TFHHS. A TRANSITUS B CLASS TRIP On April 9 our class went to the Sugar Bush. Mr. Gillean borrowed Mr. Perry's car and took some of the boys there. Mr. Hillary and Mr. Daratha took the rest in their own cars. VVhen we arrived at the sugar bush we had to walk through muddy puddles. It was fun for the boys to slush around in the puddles but not for the masters. VVe were shown the process of maple syrup. First of all the maple tree is tapped for sap. Then the pails are attached to the tree to collect the running sap. A horse-drawn rig carrying a gathering tank picks up the maple sap. Then the sap is brought back and boiled into syrup in a typical evaporating apparatus. 1 I 126 THE ASI-IBURIAN After the method of making maple syrup was shown, we went outside and we saw a man boiling some sap in a pail. Once it had started to boil we took some lumps of snow and he poured the boiling hot syrup on the snow. VVhen it had hardened we took the candy from the snow and ate it. It was delicious. After we stuffed ourselves with the candy we went back to school. Our thanks to Mr. Daratha who planned and helped to make the trip possible. RICHARD Rossv-Travzsitus B IIIA CLASS TRIP There was some feeling of discontent this year because the whole of IIIA did not have a class trip. However, to the lucky members of the Form who were playing cricket at Bishop's School on Saturday, May 25th., the previous day in Montreal was well worth Hghting for a place on the team. It all came about this way. Last year the team went down by bus. The Team Coach, Mr. Spencer, who also happens to be IIIA's Form Master, was not very pleased about the boys who were forced to stand all the way from Montreal to Magog, so this year decided that the wisest way to take the team was by C.P.R. There was one problem - a four hour stopover in Montreal on the way down to Sherbrooke. Not caring to listen to the complaints of those who might be forced to stand again this year, Mr. Spencer came up with the idea of making the 1963 Bishop's Cricket Trip a combined culturalfsporting trip. VV hen Andy Gamble's moan- ing, which almost cost us the whole trip, was straightened out, the idea didn't seem such a bad one after all. The waxworks at St. joseph's Shrine were mentioned as a good place to visit, but Mr. Spencer had been there the week before, and was still recovering from the shock of having to pay 51.50 each for admission. COf course he didn't go alonelj VVhere else could one go? VVe went to the Art Gallery. This was followed by lunch at the Chalet on the top of Mount Royal, and then a visit to the Quebec Museum in the early afternoon, while not a unanimous choice, did meet with general approval. Friday's weather presented a problem. VVhat would it be like in Montreal? The trip down was extremely frigid just because a certain cricketer almost missed the train. It was agreed that the weather would l1Ot prevent the trip taking place, so raincoats were a must . All three projects were carried out, and a very tired cricket team arrived at the New Sherbrooke Hotel about seven o'clock. VVe were given such a friendly welcome that we promptly forgot that Old Kangan had deliberately tried to wear us out in order to get us to bed early. Donny Moulds will be writing about the cricket in the Sports' Section. I would just like to say thank you for a very enjoyable Cxcurslml U' Mr' Spencer' TONE' FARRUGIA, Monitor, Form IIIA li F1 .

It is no secret that our favourite opponents are the boys from Montebello, and both the games this year were well fought, interesting matches, with some outstanding school-boy soccer on hoth sides. XYhile Sedbergh was able to defeat us on our home ground, we returned the compliment by defeating the home team when we went down there. lYe thank the Headmaster of Sedhergh for his continuing interest in soccer, and assure him that we looli forward to the 1963 season.

JUNIOR CRICKET XI The junior Cricket XI won the Bishop's Cup for the second year. The day that the Bishop's team was first to play Ashbury, there were live inches of snow on the ground, so the game had to be cancelled. However, our team was able to play at Bishop's for the return game, and after a bad start, we were fortunate enough to win, 77 to 46. in a one- innings game, played on their Senior Pitch. Chown was top scorer, and he remained at the wicket for the entire period of the innings. Mr. Spencer's bat for '6The Most Improved Player was won by Moulds, and the bat for outstanding performance by Farrugia.

THIS .4.s1lHU1el.-ix lil XIY SCHOOL IN PARIS Before I came to Ashbury, I went to a school in Paris called lfcole Bilanque. It was an old converted building in the centre of Paris. It had been used by the French resistance movement during the war. XYe entered through a passage into a courtyard. Classroomssurrounded the courtyard on all sides. Some of the classrooms had been stables used for the horses and carriages of French nobles manv years ago. The pupils were from all over the world. The Ilead .Nlistress andymanv of the teachers were French, but a few had come from lingland. All the pupils liked Monsieur jacques, who was big and jolly. He was the chief handy man around the school and used to pop out to the Boulangerie every day for huge armfuls of bread - long sticks which were called baquettes. IYe used to get a piece of this with dark choco- late and milk for break in the afternoon. For lunch we had three or four courses. Soup was First then a piece of bread without butter then some vegetables and then meat with salad. If we did not eat the first course the teacher said we weren't hungry, so we did not get any more. IVC were very close to the Eiffel Tower and in the morning and after lunch we were taken there in a crocodile to walk and play in the Champs de Mars, near the Tower. Sometimes Gendarmes chased us ol? the grass screaming and waving their batons at us. There were ice cream wagons, peanut wagons, Punch and judy shows, Shetland ponies giving rides, and many tourists. One day an Italian cameraman came to take pictures for a movie to advertise Paris. I was luckv to have a red coat on as he chose three boys with bright coloured clothing. I wonder how many people have seen my picture, never thinking that the French boys in the movie were two Canadians and one American.

Xlczl lvl-'if-ll me THE ASHBURIAN ASTRONAUT GORDON COOPER Astronaut Gordon Cooper soared into orbit in his tiny Faith 7 spacecraft Wednesday, .Nlay 15, 1963 and began whirling on a marathon space journey intended to keep him aloft for more than 34 hours. Cooper, a 36 year old Air Force major, rocketed into space aboard a powerful Atlas booster which blazed away from Cape Canaveral at 9.04 aan. with a roar and crash of flames. Five minutes later, the 15 ton space craft had settled in its planned orbital path more than 100 miles above the earth. Cooper took the control stick to rotate his capsule 180 degrees on its yaw axis so that he was riding upright and backward, with the craft's blunt heat shield pushing a path through space. Cooper was barely off the ground when television pictures were taken and relayed to the people of the world for the first time in space history. The stations on earth reported reception good. His space capsule was Hying at a speed of 17,5-H miles per hour, more than 300 miles per minute. Cooper's retro-rockets were fired east of Shanghai, China at about 7.03 p.m. on the evening of Thursday, May 16th some 34 hours after take-off. Cooper had to use manual controls when the automatic guidance system for re-entry failed to work. But Cooper performed the hand operation magnificently and landed within -15 miles of the U.S.S. liearsage C United States aircraft carrierb, within 96 miles of Midway Island. XYhen Cooper stepped out he felt dizzy for 15 seconds. He then went below for a physical examination after completing his 22 orbits. This shot was the closing phase in the Project Mercury Space Program. The next program is called Gemini, a plan for two men. BERGIQR-IIIA AN EASTER BUNNY Hoppity!

AMI-is-I THE .-1 s H 1: L' lem N ,gf LUCK It was in 19-I-4 when the 61st Glider Squadron of the Royal .-Xir Force was preparing a routine attack on the French coast. All sixteen craft were going to attack and capture an industrial area. Through the day, bombers had tried to bomb the area but were hindered by the Luftwaffe. lt was up to the gliders. It was a routine towing over the channel but as soon as the tows were released, heavy fiak was encountered, to make matters worse, a blinding rainstorm developed. Eight planes managed to reach their objective, seven were lost, and one, number 421, was Hghting the storm. The storm ended abruptly and the glider was miles away from the target. It was coming down fast in a unfamiliar part of the country. rough, and covered with trees. The men were nervous and wanted to land. The pilot crash-landed among the trees. The aircraft was ruined but none of the soldiers was seriously hurt. The radio was still working and an S.O.S. was sent out. ln the meantime the men prowled around and found an old railroad track. After a search they found it led to a fenced-in group of buildings. The captain stole in, and when he returned, he told everyone that it was a plant where the Germans were making vital parts for the atomic bomb. Quickly the captain made a plan. VVhen the next train stopped at the gate, six men were to get under it and go into the plant and destroy it. The men succeeded and the plant was ruined. Within six hours a rescue plane landed on the airstrip at the plant and took the soldiers away. On the way back, enemy fighters were encountered but driven off by SpitHrCS. If Germany had made the atom bomb the history of the world would have been changed!

Manners should start when you are just a little child and as you grow up and learn good habits, you should not have to depend on your parents although they play an important part in developing your good manners. Une of the most essential expressions of manners is behaviour at meals. You must ask politely for food and say thank you to people kindly for passing things. One must eat nicely and not stuff one's food down one's throat as fast and as sloppily as possible. Also manners and politeness towards your elders are very important. You should respect your parents, and at school call your teachers Sir and .Nla'a1n , because in later years it will all count up and can help a lot in your future life, just as I said at the beginning. Another type of manners is to be kind and respectful to other people on bicycles and obey the rules of the road so when you are older you will respect other people in cars and obey the law. There are many more types, such as sportsmanship, and holding parties for friends. They all should be done as well as one can. GCJI,DINCi-TFZIHS. B PlCKlQTT'S CHARGE The date was june 3rd, 1863, and the Battle of Gettysburg was in its third and final day. For the last two days, the Confederate forces, under General Lee, and the Union forces, under General Meade, had waged a bloody battle. The Union forces had their Hanks on Cemetery Ridge Cto the northj, and Little Round Top Cto the southj, and Lee had failed to take either of them. Now he would attack the center. liarly that afternoon the Confederates kept up a steady bombard- ment of cannon-fire from over 100 cannon. They fired for two hours, after which there was deadly silence. Then Pickett and his men appeared from the woods - 4500 officers and men began their charge. The Union gunners fired intensely and on came the Rebels. They reached the limmitsburg Road which ran between the two forces. The Yankee gunners were firing at point-blank range, but on came Pickett's brave Virginians. .Xlen were falling like nine-pins, and the main advance was brought to a grinding halt, but a few men managed to climb over the Union defences. l lowever, this was soon stopped by the Union reserves. Pickett's Charge was over. ln all. 3393 of Pickett's +500 ollicers and men were left on the Held. That was the toll of one of the most glorious and courageous military actions in history. An.m1soN-lllA THE ASHBURIAN 155 TOMS ESCAPE Tom didn't want any shoes. None of the gang had shoes, and he knew if he wore shoes he would be the laughing stock of the village. So he made a plan that went like this: he would hide under the porvch even though he knew Aunty would get mad. No one will find me there , he thought. That night he lay in bed improving on his plan. Now, if I hide under our porch, Sydney will probably find me and tell , he thought, so maybe I could talk Becky into letting me hide under her porch. Then I can watch Aunty get mad from a distance . The next night before supper Sydney took Aunty Polly to one side and said that he had overheard Tom asking Becky if he could hide under her porch tomorrow morning. I think he's trying to get out of buying shoes , chirped Sydney. The next day was Saturday, and Tom awoke feeling pleased with himself about his future plans. He got up quietly, dressed and slipped out the window. The noise of his fall was cushioned by ferocious snapping dragons. He made his way stealthily towards the front hedge and slipped through. Then he ran like greased lightning to the end of the road and around the back of Becky's house. As he crept up to Becky's porch he saw to his horror that Becky and her parents were sitting on it. Becky looked scared, but tried not to let her parents notice. Unfortunately they did. IVhat's wrong child? exclaimed her mother. While this was going on Tom was about to slip under the porch when he fell into a bucket of whitewash. The splash seemed to make an awful noise! Tom kneeled down with one hand in the whitewash. listening to see if they had heard. Evidently no one had, for he could still hear Becky being cross-examined. By now Aunt Polly was looking for Tom. Tom, where are you? she bellowed. Tom where are you?,' echoed Sidney. I'll wager he's under Becky's porch , he said under his breath. VV ell, we had better pay Becky a visit . She stormed out the door slamming it in Sydney's face as she left. By the time she had crossed the road Becky's parents had hnished their questioning and turned their attention to Aunt Polly. What can I do for you? asked Becky's father. Syd says Tom is under your porch . I'm quite sure he isn't , he said with a chuckle.

IIIA THE ASHBURIAN 157 MY TRIP T0 PORT ROYAL VVhile I was visiting Kingston, jamaica last year one of my favourite experiences was my visit to Port Royal. In the morning I was up at 5:30 a.m. XYC had breakfast and then headed for our destination. XYhen we arrived, we went to Fort Charles to meet our guide. He told us about the history of the fort. It had been standing for 304 years. He also mentioned that Nelson and one hundred and twenty-three soldiers had once defended Fort Charles. Our guide showed us two anchors which were used on .Nlorgan's pirate ships. A short distance from the fort we found the dizzy house. lt was tilted at a 450 angle. Going through it gave me a headache. Still, it was an exciting adventure. The guide informed us that Port Royal was one of the most wicked and wealthiest cities on the face of the earth. The pirates would loot or raid ships and bring their wealth to this city. But all this ended in 1692, when a terrible earthquake destroyed the port. Then we made our way to a church where we saw the treasures Nlorgan the pirate had donated. There, still in working order we saw a huge organ 234 years old. I noticed other interesting objects as we continued our tour of the church. VVhen Morgan came back to jamaica he started a new life and a few years later became governor of jamaica. After we completed this tour, we drove to the docks. Here I was allowed to board a liner. The Hrst thing my guide told me was that this liner was in for a refit. This is when the paint is scraped olf and replaced by new paint, and the furniture and carpets are cleaned. This is always done after 12 months of sea travel. IYe saw the cabins, the recreation room, the swimming pool, two large sitting rooms, a ball room and a rather large dining room. About an hour's walk away, we found the car and drove to my friend's house, where I was staying as a house guest. It was a day of adventure and learning. F1REs'roNi1-III.-X SCHOOL XYhen winter is gone And spring is come, We shall be happy XYhen school is done. We toil all day From nine to live. - And when we leave We are glad we're alive. XIIRSKY-Illix 155' THE ASHBURIAN AN OLD DOG TELLS HIS STORY The farthest back I can remember is when I first opened my eyes. I was born in a nest in some hay inside a barn with my brother and sister. Every night my mother licked us clean. VV e used to hide in the hay from her but it was of no use. Our mother was a Labrador and we loved her very much. Of all the games, we liked hide-and-seek best. My later memories are of when I was a full-grown dog. VV ith my keenness of smell I tracked rabbits, foxes and other animals. I could run much faster than my brother or sister. My master was very kind to me. One night I heard him say I would be a good dog for looking after the cattle. The next day he was training me to look after them. In a few months I was out alone in the field driving them to the barn. One cow, old Brindle, was very slow. I bit her on the heel. She kicked me in the nose. As soon as I came back my master phoned the vet. He said I would be all right. But I never went too close to them again. Now my life is changed a lot. I can't run fast any more for I am getting too old. I can't do much work for I am rather stiff in the joints. My master does not require me to do much. He does what he can to comfort me. I have a nice spot where I can lie down and sleep. He gives me two meals every day. He treats me as if I were a pup. We still go out hunting but I can not help much. But he treats me as a faithful friend for when I was a pup I treated him well. I expect to end my life in comfort. DENT-IIA VVHEN I AM A VETERINARIAN VVhen I am a veterinarian I shall take care of animals like cats, dogs, sheep, horses and other animals. I shall have an office in a large building in Ottawa, Canada. I shall put a sign in my window to say I am there. The building will have a special place for cats on one floor, dogs on another and places for other animals too. I like animals and XVHIII to be good to them always. BARNES-IA A VVONDERFUL TRIP One day when I was at a candy store, I bought a bottle of soft drink, and under the cork I found a note that permitted me to go to Paris and have a thousand dollars spending money. The next week I was off to Paris in a jet. I saw many interesting art galleries and museums. lYhat I liked most was a picture of Mozart. For two weeks I stayed there and then returned home, with presents for all of the family. Sometimes I think it was only a dream. HUGHSON-II THE ASHBURIAN 159 ATOMIC ENERGY The destructive effects of atomic energy have been evident to all since the first blast on August 6, 1945, in lHliroshima. But this energy can also help benefit man. Radioactive isotopes produced in atomic piles have been used in treatment of disease. They are also used in biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. Researchers are working on a theory to prove atomic radiation can preserve food. This research is based on the effects of the radiation called gamma rays. This radia- tion, in sufficiently large doses, is deadly to all forms of life, but can also, among other things, kill molds, yeast and bacteria that cause foods to spoil. It is very important to learn whether food is safe after being exposed to gamma rays. So far, there is no evidence that food treated in this way becomes radioactive. XV hen a uranium atomic bomb, such as the one at Hiroshima, ex- plodes, a relatively small amount - about the size of a baseball - of uranium fissions, or splits, in a caain reaction that races to completion within a millionth of a second. japanese Cduring the 2nd XYorld XYarJ who received a dosage of 400 to 5 00 roentgens from the nuclear radiation died within a few weeks after the bomb explosion. XVhen an atomic bomb explodes, the Hssion products include some three dozen different elements. There may be as many as six radioactive isotopes, or atom species, for a single element. Some fission products are very short lived, so that their radioactivity vanishes in a few minutes. Others have lives measured in hours or days. Still others are long-lived. Strontium 90, for example, has a 28-year half life. BERGER-IIIA THE DIKE One day a boy named Marcus VVas walking past a dike, VV hen he saw a very queer thing, That he thought a frightening sight. The thing he saw was a small hole, No larger than a pin. He knew that if he left it, The sea would rush right in. He put his finger in that hole, And waited there all night. Next morning some people found him In the bright morning light. CoLBr:R'r-Il 160 THE ASHBURIAN LEISURE . Spare time should not be used without consideration. VV e may benefit from spare time and thus we should not XVQSIC it. Here are a few examples. Une of the many ways to spend leisure is to engage in activities which improve one's health such as playing golf, swimming, and bowl- ing, etc. Another way to spend leisure is in being occupied with interesting hobbies such as stamp or coin collecting, and chemistry or physics labs. Some hobbies tend to inliuence a person's future plans about his vocation. IVhen a man comes home from a hard day at the oflice, he will usually kiss his wife, say Hello , and be down on a chesterfield to read a newspaper. Most students' spare time is used to study. It should not only be to increase our knowledge because health is also important. IVe should take time to relax, to think why we are living, how we should live and how to use our leisure time properly. To sum up, spare time should be used wisely in order to benefit the individual for his lifetime. Rossi'-Trans. B FIRE FEVER I like to go down to the Hre hall, The hall at the end of the street, To see the city ladder truck, And the Fire Chief to meet. I like to see the MERCURYS LA FRANCES and THIBAULT's, All stacked up with equipment, IVith axes, and with hose. I like to see the fire drills Out in the station yard, And the firemen practising tactics, And the Hre chief driving 'em hard. I like to hear the sirens screaming, In answer to the alarm, From the burning office building To the brush fire at the farm. I like to hear of fires past, And exploits of the men, And when I leave the station house I think of going again.

They say we're always too too loud, Cr not quite quick enough. But actually we're quite a crowd, All twelve with all our stuff. Vie think we have it pretty good, But no one shares our views. It's just we can't be understood, So that will end our news. HARVEY AND Roisixsox-Trans. B MY SPACE CAPSULE IYhen I was just a little boy, Many years ago, I watched with never ending joy, The famous birdmen go. And now that I am in my rocket, Thinking of before. I switch the switches and a socket, As I prepare to soar. And now that I am going 'round The earth so very high, My little capsule faster than sound, Is far up in the sky. Cnowx-Trans. A LADY ' In Venezuela in a district near an oil refinery corporation, therfl lived my dog and me. We were very happy while we were together in the summer vacations. During the vacations we went on walks. played at the beach, and played at home. Then two weeks before we had to go to England, a couple of people came to take my dog to their house, because we could not take her with us to England. I was the only one who could pick her up and put her into the jeep. When they drove away I felt sad for her with those people, but my father said they would take good care of her, which made me feel a little happier. I felt lonely because she was not in the house to play. Lady was part of our family, and we treated her as one of us. lYe had such a good time together and all that fun had been thrown away. 162 THE ASHBURIAN Every day I thought of her at the other house and wondered if they were taking good care of her. My heart was almost broken when she was taken away, and I think that her heart was almost broken too. When we got to England we got another dog but it did not take the place of my Lady. FARRUGIA-IIIA MOTOR BOATS Some go fast, Some go slow. Some broken down ones Don't even go. My little boat Is a cute little thing. All day I zoom around the moat And sing, and sing, and sing. Sometimes I go a-fishing, VVay out in the lakes. And I fish, and I fish Until morning breaks. Sometimes I come home with some fish. Sometimes I come home with none. But I never come home, VVithout seeing the sun. CoLB1-:RT-II THE SAPPERS WERE HERE They were found in the Monte Cassino area, alive and well, writing 'tThe Sappers were here on the wall. In their path they had left a captured Tiger tank, a wrecked machine-gun post, and a blown-up bridge with the wreckage of two trucks on it. It had started in a gully below Monte Cassino where ten men waited for the appointed signal. lVhen they left that trench, eight men died - two made it to Cassino. On their way they discovered a wooden bridge. Looting a machine-gunned truck, they found two land mines. Planting them, they hid, watched a convoy blown up on the bridge with two trucks, and ran. In a town they found trouble - a machine-gun nest. XVith accurate grenade throwing, they destroyed it, only to find, after crossing a few roofs, that the tank below was directing mortar fire. Firing through the air vent, they killed the crew and a thorough search of the tank revealed a map of the German mortar positions. Broad- casting thcse to the Allies, they sat down to await their company, having, in their own small way, helped to capture Cassino. SIAIS-TPQIIIS.
