THE .'1Slll3L'R1.-IX ly 9, uuur-wsu ,Nw-s---vi-ouwwuvn-aarqq: Q -qnvammvanuau X iK3 ' Adam Podhradsky Adam George Steven Podhradsky died in December after a long illness. He had been at Ashbury since junior School days and was a School Prefect during the last year. His cheerful face and sparkling sense of humour had brightened the sombre school corridors for much of this time. Adam was held in the highest regard and respect by all who knew him. During last year's Closing Ceremonies he was presented with the Headmaster's Cup for character. Spontaneous applause lbrolic the noon-day heat that day for a very popular choice. His death is a sad loss for his contemporaries and the school. To Hrs. Podhradslcy the School extends heartfelt sympathies. w U. NlcCi.xt'oiniY Captain of the School
