For this, some explanation is in order! The :Xshburian was not completed at the usual time, which is normally right after School closes, because the Staff Editor left the School to take up University studies. Then came the summer, quickly followed by the new School year. By the time a new staff was recruited, time had moved on relentlessly. This edition of the magazine, though late, does record the major events of the year 1964-65 and we hope you will not be disappointed. Now the current year's Ashburian is in the making and We look for a Special Number. The year 1964-65 looked particularly bright as plans for the much- needed buildings developed and a good organization for raising the required Funds was put together. But at the time of writing, it has been necessary to stop the count-down and the building programme is at the holding stage. VVe hope we can bring you an optimistic progress report in our next issue. 10 THE ASHBURIAN SCI-ICQL NQTES The School Year began on Tuesday, September 8th, 1964 and ended on -lime 12th, 1965. The Chairman addressed the School and awarded the boys a half holiday on September 23rd. 1X1 ii? The Royal Commonwealth Society held Ashbury Night at the School on March 30th.

THE ASHBURI.-ZN 11 CHAPEL NOTES This year the Chapel continued to be the hub around which the life of the school was centred. To the great majority of the school dailv prayers and Sunday Services were a continuous source of guidance. inspiration and encouragement. An increasing number of boys and masters have shown an interest and been active in the services. One innovation was the XYednesday morning change of routine with Mr. Perry leading the prayers and one of the Nlasters reading the lesson. Mr. Perry has, as usual, shown the deepest interest in our Chapel. Tl-Ili CHOIR The Choir has had a good yearg Nlr. Hewitt has had a better than usual amount of talent to work with and the singing has been much better. KYe all appreciate the good work of our faithful Choir Xlothers, Xlrs. Thurston, Mrs. Xlonks and Klrs. Perley, who were on hand before the services to see that the Choir was presentable and ready. The Choir sang at St. Bartholomew's Church and also at Christ Church Cathedral. It was a credit to the school on both occasions. Some of the boys excelled. Our special thanks to Nlr. Hewitt for a very good year. One of the reasons for our happy Chapel is the interest and effort of so many people. VVe were fortunate to have had Nlr. Harwood-jones at the organ. VVhat would we do without the help of Xlr. Sibley and Nlr. Snelgrove playing for the Senior Morning Chapel? Nlr. Sibley's hymn- singing practice on Fridays is the main reason for the good congregational singing. VVe are very much indebted to Hrs. Hendricks and the ladies of the domestic staff who keep the chapel so clean and tidy. Visitors to the Chapel included a number of interesting Ottawa clergy.

TH If SERVERS There were fewer Servers this year but these boys assisted well and faithfully. The Chapel Clerks were Anderson. Lynn and Gamble. Thanks to them everything went smoothly and well. This was most fortunate as the Sunday congregations have continued to fill the Chapel. Our jewish boys have not been forgotten. On several occasions Rev. Xlonks took a group to Saturday Xlorning Synagogue Service. The boys were also present at Berger ll's Bar-Xlityva. We were honoured by several visits from Rabbi lfckstein of the Chapel Street Synagogue. XYe appreciate the contribution of our Chapel organists. Hr. llarwood-hlones has been with us faithfully each Sunday and at Choir practices. Un two Xkcdnesday mornings after the introductory prayers there was a period of organ music. Xlr. Snclgrovc played a selection and ex- plained its meaning. Un thc other occasion Saul Cartnian played the Kol THE :ISHBURIAN 13 Nidrei and told us about its history, describing it as the most sacred of all jewish music. It is with great regret that we say Au rcvoir to Rev. Xlr. .-Xttwell who is leaving us. He came here three short years ago from a parish in the Diocese of Ontario and is going to a parish in the Diocese of Ottawa. We are going to miss the sincerity and good humour of a very conscien- tious and devoted Chaplain. We wish him every happiness and hope he will visit us in the future. Altogether, the Chapel has afforded almost everyone in the school a chance to serve God in one way and another, and like the Psalmist we can say, Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, brethren, to dwell together in unity. The reading of the daily lesson by the prefects, and by the Head Boy on Sunday, has been done well and conscientiously. This year again it was our pleasure to have the young ladies of Elm- wood with us for many of the Sunday Services, usually accompanied by Mrs. Blyth and other members of her staff. XVe were very pleased to welcome the Elmwood Choir which was with us on two occasions, to worship with us and also to sing an anthem. XVe thank their Choir Director, Nlrs. Harwood-jones, for making this possible. On several occasions the Elmwood Head Boarder, Xliss Deborah Monk, read the lesson. We always look forward to having Xlr. lYilliam Navan, the blind organist, lay reader and server at St. Xlargarets Eastview. who brings his junior choir to the Chapel and also preaches. The Candlelight Service was the best ever and a credit to Nlr. Hewitt. THE CHAPEL OFFERINGS l. Part of our offerings was used to buy new hymn books to replace those that are worn out by daily use. 2. A cheque was sent to Capt. Dicks of the Church .-Xrmy. After his sermon about his work in the prisons and courts, we decided we should hel . P 3. A contribution of S151 was sent to aid in the restoration of the parish Church at Ashbury in England. I4 THE ASHBURIAN . I W 'ff THF CONFIRMATION SITRVICIC Back Rout O. K. Lawson, G. lf..

THE ASHBURIAN If Interesting sermons were given by Head Server David Mulaner and by Senior Server Bruce McNair, and the two chaplains preached on the intervening Sundays. WVC were expecting to have Rev. Nlr. Bolton and some of the young people of his congregation to give us a demonstration of the new 'l ollc Mass . Unfortunately it was not possible to find a convenient date so this was postponed until next Fall. The three annual Corporate School Communion Services were celebrated as usual by the Chaplains: on All Saints Day in the Fall, on Ash Wednesday in the XYinter Term, and on Ascension Dav in the Spring. One of the happy traditions in the chapel is for the Lords Table to be open to Christians of other branches of the Church. XYith the Bishop's permission, we invite boys from other Christian Communities to take the Sacrament with us as long as they are baptised and customarily receive it in their own Church. THE CONFIRMATION SERVICE The Right Rev. Ii. S. Reed, M.A., D.D., Lord Bishop of Ottawa, confirmed 21 boys by the ancient and historic rite of the laying on of hands in the Chapel on Friday, May 8th at 8.00 p.m. A large number of parents and friends were present. As usual these boys had been receiving weekly instruction ever since last September. It was a pleasure to have non-Anglican boys sitting in and preparing for Confirmation in the United and other Churches. This year Servers' medallions were presented to Burritt and Barber. Burritt's medallion was awarded last year but was not presented. The welcome to the Bishop was given by the Head Server, David Mulaner. The Service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Attwell, and the Rev. Mr. Monks was the Bishop's Chaplain. The lessons were read by Burritt and McNair. During the service the Bishop dedicated the new window to the glory of God and in loving memory of Adam Stephen George Podhrad- sky. Mrs. Podhradsky and a number of friends were present. f6 THE AsHBUR1AN MGTHERS' GUILD ExECL r1vE Hon. President-Mrs. R. H. Perry, President-Mrs. Burke Ewing, Vice-President-Mrs. P. B. Smellie, Secretary-Mrs. F. R. Thurston, Treasurer-Mrs. A. L. Thurlow, Conveners: Social-Mrs. E. L. Deacon, Membership-Mrs. G. D. Turner, Telephone-Mrs. R. Perley. The Mothers' Guild, with its usual enthusiasm and hard work, had a very successful year under the leadership of Mrs. Ewing. The first event of the School Year was the Clothing Sale, which enables outgrown clothing to be bought and sold at reasonable prices. The unsold articles were once again sent to the Ottawa Boys, Club. This was successfully convened by Mrs. Copeland. Then followed an Old Boys' Cocktail Party in November. This was a change from the normal procedure, which is usually an Old Boys' Luncheon with a Supper-Dance in the evening. The Cocktail Party was a new venture and proved quite a success, with Mrs. Parker con- vening. The Spring Tea and Bake Sale was held on April 30th this year, and since it was a lovely day, the Guild had a very profitable as well as enjoyable time. Lots of 'gold friends turned out for this event, and that made it doubly pleasurable. These events run by the Mothers' Guild enabled it this year to provide for a 35250 Bursary, a junior School French Prize, a Middle School English Prize, a prize for each boy in the best-kept room for the year, plus 3500 transferred to a special fund for the furnishing of a room when the new buildings are finished. Dr. and Mrs. Ewing, through the Mothers' Guild, presented the School with a Red Ensign for the Chapel. The Guild will be looking forward to seeing the Hold members back next year and will be most happy to welcome all new Mothers of Ash- bury, and especially those who have been a little timid about attending the meetings in the past. Note-The Headmaster wishes to express his appreciation for the interest shown by the Guild and to thank them for their welcome gifts to the School. DEBATING Debating began this year with a great show of enthusiasm. Aboud, A. Ault, j. Barber, K. Cook, B. Deacon, H. Ewing, Mathieu, C. Stone and P. Thurston pledged themselves to go out and argue for Ashbury. .Ks time passed, however, games, sports' trips, Greek lessons and some- times even study made it necessary to cancel several weekly Thursdav meetings ofthe Debating Society. i i fi A ,N Ffa, - .Y 1' . an 'tis seg 'l'lll-1 Dl BATlNCi Tlf.XNl B.

Ewing Ashbury did, nevertheless, send a team Clleetor lfwing and Chris Stone for the affirmative and Arthur and Bruce Deacon for the negativej to do battle at Elmwood. Over the resolution, Total disarmament is necessary for a lasting world peace . we were eloquently taken to the chopping block by our female foes. Soon after, a rematch was staged to regain lost and much-hurt pride. Ken Cook and Bruce Deacon took the afiirmative side on the resolution. Intolerance is more dangerous than ignorance . This debate was an Ashbury victory. The last debate of this season was at Ottawa Cniversitv for the journal Trophyw. The resolution was Poverty can be substantially eliminated in Canada within this generation . Peter Thurston and Ken Cook took the affirmative, Bruce Deacon and Arthur Ault the negative. Even after a practice session with Elmwood both debates were lost. The only victory was won by Arthur Ault as best speaker for his fiery speech in his first debate. In closing, we would like to thank our coach, Air. Barts, for his extreme patience and advice during our practices and also Xlr. E. R. Williamson for his help in securing information. On March 4th, Deacon, Thurston and R. Cook journeyed to Klon- treal for a debate with Lower Canada College. This was a welcome renewal of an annual challenge-debate which had laased in recent years. Our hosts laid on a well-organized day and there was much excitement in the School Hall among a large crowd of boys. Thurston opened for the proposition on the motion: Resolution that intolerance is more dangerous than ignorance . lfor 11 short period the motion was thrown open to the llouse and speakers uf hoth sides were questioned from the Hoor. The judge. while praising the energetic efforts of L.C.C., felt that their speakers had not destroyed the arlirma- tive's case and thus the contest was awarded to qkslilnirip lilttttif Dtixcox I8 THE ASHBURIAN SIXTH FORM SOCIETY This year a Sixth Form Society was organized to present a variety of speakers to the members of Grades XII and XIII. Meetings were held in the Dining Room. D On October 23rd, Mr. Geoffrey Pearson, the Prime Ministers son, from the U.N. Division of the Department of External Affairs addressed a group of students. Mr. Pearson gave a short talk on the United Nations and there was an informal discussion afterwards when refresh- ments were served. On December 4-th, Mr. Robert Thompson, national leader of the Social Credit Party, gave a talk on the aims of his party. His talk included an account of some of his experiences in East Africa. The group questioned him about his partyis policies and its plan in national government. On April 14th, Mr. Reid Scott, New Democratic Member of Par- liament for the Danforth constituency in Toronto, outlined his party's goals and policies. After an informative presentation of the NDP policy, Nlr. Scott replied to several questions from the students. Although the number of speakers was limited this year, there are vigorous plans for next year. VISIT TO PARLIAMENT The Senior History Class CUpper VID accompanied Mr. E. L. R. Williamson to Parliament in the course of its study of Canadian His- tory and Government. There it attended the Budget Debate, sitting in the Leader of the Opposition's Gallery as guests of the Rt. Hon. john G. Diefenbaker. At the conclusion of the sitting of the House, the group accepted Mr. Diefenbakers kind invitation to tea in the Parliamentary Restaurant on the sixth floor, after which Mr. IVilliamson took the students on a tour of the building, showing them the portraits of Canadian and British Prime Ministers, and explaining the historical significance of the various features of the construction of the buildings and their ornamentation. E.L.R.IV. VISIT TO GEOGRAPHIC SURVEY In February, the Middle and Senior Geography Forms paid a visit to the Cartographic Division of the Department of A iill lines and Technical Surveys. Under the guidance of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Vlfilliamson and Officers of the Department, the students were introduced to the THE ASHBURIAN 19 preparation of maps from the collection of data by aerial photography and ground survey through drafting of master maps to full-colour printing. Members of the group were particularly impressed with the new radar devices which measure distance to an accuracy of two inches in seven miles and the 385,000 drafting machines used in the compilation of relief maps. Historic instruments including those used by Sir lVilliam Logan, founder of the Department and father of Canadian geology , were also seen. At the conclusion of the tour, each student was presented with a topographic map and aerial photograph of Ottawa. E.L.R.VV. A VISIT TO THE NEATBY BUILDING On the morning of November 9th, the Upper Sixth Biology Class, led by Mr. Sibley, made a tour of the Nearby Building on Carling Avenue. It examined a few plastic models pertaining to agriculture, then visited several laboratories where extensive research on destructive fungi and methods of control was taking place. Of greatest interest, however, was the Entomology Department. Here the class was shown the results of many years of work and specimen preparation: hundreds of preserved insects in various glass cases. Next, although not directly related to Biology, was a glimpse of the work on the Land Redistribution Plan. The visit was terminated by a brief look at the Annual Mum Show. It had been a most prohtable and enjoyable tour for all. T.F. LIVELY LECTURE On Monday, May 23rd, C. IV. Eliot Qi-Xssociate Professor of Classicsf U.B.C.l, an Ashbury Old Boy, returned to give a lecture on the reconstruction of the Stoa of Attalus, an ancient Greek building. There was a good attendance for this interesting talk. Coloured slides taken by Professor Eliot during all stages of the reconstruction made the lecture very lively and informative and provided a true picture of the buildings of ancient Greece. After the talk, Professor Eliot answered questions on his experiences since leaving Ashbury, and set a worthwhile path for all budding archaeologists to follow in life. j.R. yi THE .f1SIlBURlf1N IJISTINGUISI-IED VISITUR Un XYednesdav, the 2-lth of February, Ashbury was honoured by a visit from Robert Thompson, leader of the Social Credit Party. The principal purpose of his visit was to present to Ashbury a gift from Emperor Haile Selassie of Iithiopia, grandfather of Prince Michael Xlakonnen, and great grandfather of .Xlichael and .lohannes Nlengesha, all students here at Ashbury. The gift was a magnificent leopard skin, specifically for the purpose of glamorizing our Cadet Band's Bass Drum- mer. QA quick glance at previous years will reveal that in this respect our drummer has been practically nude - not even a leopard skin collarlj Mr. Thompson's role stemmed from his recent visit to the far off .-'ifrica in the guise of a one-man, peace-seeking mission. His trip in- volved visiting the Lion of judah . Before going he asked Mr. Perry what would be an appropriate item to bring back. ln a brief speech Klr. Thompson warned of the dangers of appease- ment in Viet Nam, the Congo, and even the United Nations itself. He spoke generally about Africa, and specifically about world problems. All dangerous international situations in this increasingly perilous world were due to the Communists dishonouring their diplomatic Word , and to find fault with XX'ashington in times like these would be to join idealogical hands with the enemy . Coming closer to home, he theorized on the possible motives behind the extremists who plotted to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the XYashington Nlonument and the Liberty Bell. He asked Capropos of Nlichelle Duclos who was employed in Algeria after the revolutionary F.L.N. had taken overl if it could have been that she was training in sabotage with the intent of working towards a revolution in Canada . Though some of us might forget a few of the intricacies of Mr. Thompson's speech, we will none of us forget the sight of John Read fthe Bass Drummerl resplendant in his spotted waistcoat. -l -1 Lady Runcorn, Chairwoman of XYomen Speakers for the Common- wealth attended Chapel on November 29th, prior to a Luncheon and Speaking engagement at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. . if' E .-ISHHURI 15 Q W J I vw- 21 The Flag Ceremony l'L'f1i'!.II'. l6'!'

FIRST FOOTBALL A divisional crown in Ottawa high school competition, along with the league's scoring title won by Captain Kim Rawley, were among laurels reaped by a well-balanced, if not deep, Ashbury First Football Team last fall. Coasting to top spot in the Eastern Division Intermediate rankings with a 5 and 1 record, Ashbury, in only its second year of League action. scored an impressive total of 128 points in six games while limiting op- ponents to 26. Rawley, a two-way standout at offensive fullback and defensive corner-back over the entire season, ran away with the league scoring title. IYith a total of 54 points on nine touchdowns during the six-game schedule, he was 30 points up on his nearest competitor. In League play Ashbury boasted an average game-offense of 20 points, with Rawley contributing an average of nine of these. De- fensively, Ashbury topped all teams in the three Ottawa Leagues. allow- ing an average of only four points per game. However, while faring well in League play the team sutfered a mysterious letdown in the high school playotf and was subjected to a severe drubbing. Against Stanstead, Bishops, and the Old Boys, Ash- bury missed victory by a narrow margin. 24 THE ASI-IBURIAN High School League Games In a home-and-home series with each of the other three teams in the Division, Ashburv easily outscored both Eastview and Commerce. XVith Gloucesterf a new team in the League last year, the story was different. In the first contest at Ashbury grounds, Gloucester, with assistance from penalties which all but nullified Ashbury gains, brought the vaunted Green Machine to a virtual halt. Evidently well-briefed on the power running of twin fullbacks Rawley and IVennberg, and warned about the Chantler-Berry end-to- endn pass play which had accounted for three touchdowns in the team's first two games, the Gloucester defence gave little ground. Then, with Ashbury contained, Gloucester capitalized with a held goal and three singles to provide the winning 6-O margin and hand the Ashburians their only League defeat of the season. The return game, which the team and the coach had anxiously awaited, was played on a soggy Gloucester Held. At stake in this final League contest was sole possession of first place. A victory for the Gloucester squad would ease them into a tie with Ashbury for top spot. On the first play from scrimmage, Allmark at quarterback, rolling out behind good blocks thrown by XVennberg, Berry and Gamble, pitched the ball to Rawley who was 20 yards deep on the sideline and who then out-slogged surprised Gloucester defenders to complete the spectacular 90-yard TD play. IVhile the Spunky Gloucester-men bounced back with a TD and a single, unrelenting efforts by the Ashbury defence finally wore them down. Big Shoup, up from the Seconds and playing only his second game with the team, was a defensive standout. His ample 6'5 frame filled the centre of the line and with his long reach he snared many a ballcarrier in the Gloucester backfield. To wrap up the game, XIcPhail, filling in at fullback for the injured Rawley, bulldozed over the goal line giving Ashbury its winning 12-7 margin. ln the Intermediate League Semi-Final Playoff, held the week fol- lowing the final Gloucester contest, Ashbury suffered its only decisive defeat of the 1964-65 season. i Showing an almost unbelievable improvement over their September effort 11g2lll1Sf Ashbury in the Pigskin Parade, St. .Ioseph's of the IYestern Division blanked the team 39-O. Exbilzitimz Games Ashbury came up with its most spectacular effort of the season against Stanstead on the I,.C.C. grounds in Montreal. It is doubtful that THE .-ISIIBURI.-IN ZY an Ashbury football team has ever fought so hard, . . . or with such vigour. The match was a tremendous two-way battle with Cotton, Berry, Chantler, NlcPhail and Rawley leading hostilities. Along the line, tackles Anderson and Gamble along with centre Cotton, played outstanding football against a Stanstead front wall which outweighed the Ashburians by more than 20 pounds per man. Castonguay and Allmark, alternating at quarterback, directed an effective attack, running Rawley off tackle and on tight end-sweeps, and passing short to Berry, Chantler and Chance. Carrying what appeared to be a safe seven-point lead into the final quarter, the team was jolted when Stanstead registered a quick TD and convert to tie the score. Finally, on the game's last play, Stanstead, within punting range, kicked for a tie-breaking single. In a tense moment for Ashbury, Nlc- Quaig fielded the ball and returned the punt out of the end zone, ap- parently saving the day. However, a roughing call against Ashbury gave Stanstead the oppor- tunity to try once again for the tie-breaking point. This time they made no mistake. XVhile Castonguay returned the kick, the oflicials ruled Stanstead had punted the ball over the deadline in the short LCC end zone, thus earning the point and a 13-12 decision. It was a tired Ashbury team, fresh from its final League victory over Gloucester, which met Bishop's at Lennoxville. After a good shiowing in the Hrst half, Ashbury wilted visibly in the second. lfntering the final 30 minutes with a TD lead, the team gave up a single and a TD which provided Bishops with the winning one-point lead and a I+-I3 victory. In the dying minutes, Castonguay, connecting with Berry and Chantler, masterminded a comeback which just fell short as time ran ollt. The Hnal game of the season was played against the Old Boys. Hardly an inspired performance, it was won by the Old Boys, 6-0, with the coach receiving his lumps on the Ashbury line. All things considered, it was a satisfactory season. Though the team displayed a puzzling 'will to lose' in the playoff with St. .Ioseph's when a win was a 'must', the same attitude fortunately did not prevail during the regular season. ln fact, quite to the contrary. the team built and maintained a solid unity and 'esprit'. ALLMARK: Barry's accurate passing was a great asset to the Ashbury offence. His negative attitude and lack of confidence, however, often hindered both his and the team's play. AU1.'r: A popular team member, arrived from Nepean too late to compete in League games, but in the exhibitions he made up for it with solid play at his guard and inside linebacker positions. 3, THE .4sHBUR1.4:.' Axmansoxz Vice-Captain. At 155 lbs. Tony proved remarkably durable at his tackle spot. He could always be counted on for a solid per- formance. BICNSKINZ OHV to a slow start, he settled down to become a valuable mem- ber ofa defensive trio with Chance and O'Brien. IEIQIQRY: Vice-Captain. He was a standout two-way player from his offensive end and defensive cornerback positions. Good hands and deception made him a favorite target for the team's passers. By the :veason's end he had learned to use his receiving skill with great effect. CAs'roNocAv: Coming from Bishop's, Peter worked in well at quarter- back. Though weak on his passing he more than made up for this in good ballhandling and a deceptively strong running style. CHANCE: His experience was an asset to the team. Though plagued with a bad knee he proved to be still very fast and shifty, particularly in the second Eastview game. Defensively he developed well at his tertiary position. CHANTLER: He has all the makings of a fine two-way pro end. VVith lots of natural ability, a streak of toughness and no fear of hard work, he turned in consistently good performances. A trifle awkward, however, Bob has only to work on building better speed and decep- tion to become a star in any league. Received 4'Best Linesmen Award . CO'l l'0N2 Afraid of nobody, he played a very tough brand of football from his centre and inside linebacker slots. Dawsoxz Phil was lost to the team early in the season, suffering a severe shoulder separation in the Pigskin Parade exhibition. However, when recuperated sufficiently, he acted as assistant manager. Domus: He didn't see much action this season but worked fairly faith- fully. He has potential as a punter. lf.vANs ll: A raw recruit last fall, Evans, in his own hard-working and thorough fashion, developed into a very acceptable replacement at centre for Cotton. XVith good ability and remarkably good de- velopment in this his first year in the game, Evans IHLISI work hard on his fundamentals - particularly long snaps. l'i0RlDI Another recruit from the high school ranks. Though a powerful and determined runner when he got up steam, he often seemed a little hasty in his judgements, with a tendency to get flustered. THE ASHBUR1.-iN G.-xA1Bi.ic: .-Xt the left tackle spot, Dave played a lot of tough two-wiv football. Aggressiveness and agility made up for what he lacked in weight. Perhaps the big thing he learned this season was that SH- minute football requires good condition. HCJGAR'l'HZ Big llogarth, in his first year of football. came on slowly. XVith plenty of size, Harry must work on speed. agility and develop more drive. lVlACDoN.fxi.n: Tommy was another early season casualty. llowcver. from his early performance it was evident he has all the desire and enough ability to become a fine two-way Intercollegiate halfback. NICPTNINCHZ As Most Improved Player this season, Little .Xlac , is a remarkably strong and able player for his years. So long as he doesn't get the idea that top performances come easily, of which there was some evidence in his attitude, Mc.-Xninch should develop well at fullback and in the defensive secondary. MACDOUGALL: Though he had few chances to get into action at the loaded end positions, when the opportunity did arise he showed particularly well at offensive end. He has good hands and decep- tion. NICPHAILZ An 'Unsung Hero' Peter was a silent terror to the opposition playing from his defensive inside backer slot. An able, determined and hard-working player, he shows excellent promise. MCQUAIG: Though ineligible for League games, Don played in the exhibitions. O'BRIEN: After a start in the offensive backffeld, Larry developed into an excellent defensive halfback. VVith excellent speed and good judge- ment he made few mistakes and provided good coverage on both pass and running plays. RAWLEY: Captain. He was the star of the team. Though emphasis must of necessity be on team performance, Rawley. a willing work- horse, shone consistently on both offence and defence and so de- serves singular praise and recognition. League scoring champion. he was selected the team's most valuable player. SHAW: Another player who saw little action, Dave always tried and worked hard for the team. He IllllSt learn to be more aggressive and improve his speed and agility. SHOUP: Though with the team for only three games at the end of the season, he gave the Ashbury defence a tremendous boost in the Gloucester championship game. Having developed an aggressive charge, Shoup must now work on agility, speed and judgement. J THE ASHBURIAN SoL'1tH.xM I: He was lost early to the team. At offensive guard and de- fensive end while with the squad, he showed good speed, aggressive- ness and judgement. SoL'iii.xxi ll: With little chance to break into the lineup till mid-way through the season. Hill made good when the opportunity pre- sented itself. Sli!-1liNlS,XKF,RS ll: A big boy for his I4 years, he learned steadily through the season. Tn-'i- i': From his defensive end spot he proved himself a real menace to opposition passers. Uiixxisi-iizca: Rick has no shortage of ability, but without the effort to go with it, he didn't measure to nearly the performance level of which he is capable. XX'oons: Up from the Seconds for a few games with the team, Hoods was one of the few of our backrielders who managed to get any yardage against St. Josephs in the League plavoff. lQwixrz: Team Manager. liooni: The team's representative on the timer's bench.

FIRST SOCCIQR The First Team had a fine season this year winning nine games. tying two and losing four. lt advanced as far as the City Championship in its League and even though it lost that game, it has nothing to be ashamed of as its record shows. The First Eleven started its season with the Annual Ciame against the Ottawa Valley Cricket Club and was once again shown that experi- ence, plus ball control and skill at play-making will defeat conditioning plus enthusiasm, as we were defeated 2-l. However, the play of the team was encouraging as it showed that we were beginning to think and trying to play good soccer. Birou tallied once against O.Y.C.C. to spoil their shutout. We then played in an exhibition game against our toughest oppo- nent in the Eastern Division from last year, liastview. Our team func- tioned as a single unit in this game and aside from a few errors. caused by our enthusiasm and inexperience, played well. Cooper opened the scoring on a free kick. llis goal was shortly followed by Collyer's. which was scored during a scramble in front of the net. lfastview scored once in the first half, and opened the scoring in the second half to tie the game. This was the spark that set Ashbury on fire and from there on it dominated the play. scarcely allowing lfastview In clear the ball from its own end. Cooper scored from a penalty kick. and Ray- 311 THE ASHBURIAN mond made sure of the game by blazing a shot which defiected in off an llastview defender. Exactly a week later we encountered Rideau H.S. in our first League game. Our team won this game by 2-0, with Raymond and Birou scoring. The highlights of this game were not the goals scored, but the goals that should have been scored as innumerable opportunities were missed. Dave Nlulaner registered his first shutout of the season. On Oct. 3 we played against Chateaugay, a High School from Mon- treal. lYe got off to a brisk start, Collyer scoring on a corner kick at the ten-minute mark. Ashbury sustained its strong attack and kept Chateaugay penned in its own half. Collyer scored on a cut-in to complete the half's scoring. In the second half our confidence took the sharpness from the defence, and as a result the play was more evenly divided. Mulaner had to make some dazzling saves to cover up for some equally dazzling defensive errors. Despite these lapses Ashbury, or rather Collyer, scored again to make the final score 3-0. Collyer scored the season's first hat trick and Dave Mulaner earned a well-deserved second shutout. Ashbury's next league game was against Gloucester, a team which had entered the league this year for the first time. lf there had been better weather instead of freezing temperatures and snow, we might have enjoyed this game as we won it 9-O. Ashbury scorers were led by Ray- mond with four goals, and singles were earned by Birou, Cooper, Collyer, Taschereau and Kambona. Nlulaner registered his third shutout. On Oct. 15 we played Eastview again, this time in a League game. The team rose admirably to the occasion winning 3-O, and thus assuming sole possession of first place in our division. Koussaya scored all three of the Ashbury goals, becoming the second Ashbury player to do so this season, and Xlulaner recorded his fourth consecutive shutout. The following Saturday the team played against Stanstead, which was one of the best Quebec HS. teams. Ashbury once again got off to a brisk start, with Raymond scoring a few minutes after the opening face-off. From then on Ashbury was kept scoreless for the rest of the half due to its own ineptness. Right off the second-half face-off lioussaya scored a fast goal, which caused everyone to become com- placent. Stanstead came back with a fast goal, and its offence gave Ash- bury a few anxious moments around the goalmouth. However, Ray- mond salted the game away for the team by scoring his second goal of the game. Our last League game outside the playoffs, was against Lisgar H.S. The team couldn't get started in this game. Mid-way through the game, Lisgar scored a picture goal. This aroused us from our complacency and within one minute we had tied the score. From that point on, even THE .-ISHBURIAN 31 though we completely dominated the play, we didn't score, as through over-eagerness we shot poorly. Then the team travelled to Northwood School, Lake Placid, to play our annual double-header. XYe lost the first game 4-2 because we were out-hustled by the Northwood team. Raymond and Patton scored our goals. In the second game we also went down to defeat to the score of 3-2, Koussaya and Raymond, scoring and all we can do now is wait until next year. After this catastrophe we played Rideau l ligh School in the quarter- finals of our League's playoffs. XYe were determined to win this game to make up for .our poor showing at Northwood, and we did. Cooper opened the scoring on a penalty kick and Raymond and Koussaya added single counters to the score. Nlulaner made his fifth shutout of the year. With this victory We advanced to the semi-finals against Nepean. This was a rough, hard-fought game. Birou, back in our forward line after suffering a broken nose in the Hrst game at Northwood, scored the game's only goal, to give us victory and a berth in the final against Technical H.S. Before we played Tech in the Hnal we had a game against Bishop's. The winner of this game receives the Governor's Cup, and we won it for the fourth consecutive year - every year since it has been awarded - by defeating Bishop's 3-0. Our Hrst goal was scored by Raymond in the first half, and the other two were scored during the second half by Birou and Cooper. The big game was against Technical for the City Champion- ships. The team played well but not well enough, as we were defeated 3-0. To be fair to the team, it must be said that two of the goals were against the run of play, that leaves one goal, however, and that one goal was enough to defeat us. After this great disappointment the team had to play the Old Boys the next day. Hopelessly dashed by our defeat at Tech's hands, we couldn't rise to the occasion and were defeated l-0. Our last game of the season was against the Xlasters, and to save them from loss of face we allowed them to tie us 3-3 this year. The First Eleven goals were scored by Cooper who had two, and Koussaya. For the Masters, Mr. Batts scored twice and Mr. Anderson once. This game, which is an annual fixture, was enjoyed by both the players of the teams and the students, who turned out in vast hordes to watch. I would like to express my thanks to the team for the co-operation and spirit that they showed and played with during the year. and would also like to thank, on behalf of the team, our coach Xlr. Anderson. For, , THE ASIIBURIAN if we enjoyed success in the majority of our games this season, it must surely be due to his perseverance and the guidance which he gave us at all times. The season was capped off by the Football and Soccer Dinner at which the following awards were presented: The Anderson Trophy for the Most Valuable Player went to Cooper, and the Perry Trophy for the Xlost Improved Player went to Raymond. Colours were re-awarded to .Xlulaner and Cooper, and new Colours were awarded to Birou, Koussaya, Raymond, and Patton.

SECOND SOCCIQR The purpose of the group of enthusiastic under-16 soccer players was to form a team which would do justice to their school, their abilities, and to the game of skill they had elected to play. The experience they could gain and the desire they could muster were to be vital as part of the foundation for more highly developed soccer some of them would play the following season in the First Xl. lt was very quickly apparent that the group possessed attributes well suited to these aims. In most cases the zest and industry sometimes envied by older opponents was evident from the onset of practice. This keenness, a pre-requisite for success, gave rise to a purposeful attitude which in turn generated a pride in playing as cultured a brand of soccer as their skills would allow. The speed with which the team's essentially short-passing game changed to a swift direct play left opponents breath- less and discouraged. and such was the progress that regular and enjoy- able practice games with Nlr. Andersoifs First Xl group were made possi- ble. So much were these games enioyed. and at times so earnest was the desire, that training skills perhaps received less attention than normal for this game. However, faivourable connnents from some of the team's opponents to some extent vindicated this practice pattern. 3,1 THE ASHBURIAN Of the nine matches played, seven were won and two lost. The mettle of the team was put to test in three exciting games against Sed- burgh School. The Hrst game at Montebello produced a tenacious, bruising battle which Ashbury lost by two clear goals, but the return game at home reversed the result, the score being two goals to one. Honours were even. The scene was set for a deciding game, which, when played a week later, proved to be a Hne experience for all con- cerned. Played at a fiery pace throughout, it had the spectators near- hysterical, especially during the period when Ashbury fought back from a three-goal deficit by scoring two attractive goals, and was only denied victory by a hairsbreadth in its dominating second half. This was good soccer, and the team had learned the advantage of combining neat passing patterns with powerful, robust, but fair play. The goals aggregate for the season, twenty-six for and nine against, indicated the command the team had over its other opponents. Mulaner, fjj, Marks, and Saunders shared nineteen goals between them, but they freely admit their success was related to the team behind them, from which Polk and Smellie were chosen to represent the First XI late in the season. The players from which the team was selected were: Polk CCaptainj , Millar CVice-captainj, Blanc, Cumming, Dyson, Lawson, MacLaren CDA, Marks, Moulds, Moquette, Mulaner QQ, Nielsen, Resnick CGQ, Saunders, Smellie, and Stevenson. FOOTBALL DINNER On Thursday, November 19th, many students entered Symington Hall for one of the most enjoyable Football Dinners in recent years. Mr. Perry as Chairman opened the proceedings, and after a short grace by Rev. Monks, the meal was attacked with great vigour. VVhen the meal was over and the tables were cleared, Mr. Perry introduced the guests at the head table. The two First Team Captains, B. Cooper, and K. Rawley, then pro- posed toasts to the coaches. These were replied to by the coaches, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Vickers. Gifts were presented to the coaches, and then the Guest Speaker, Mr. lCrnie Calcutt. of CFRA, was introduced. Mr. Calcutt entertained the assembled group with several episodes from his life asa sportscaster, and from his life as a father. .Xfter the applause for Mr. Calcutt's fine anecdotes had died down, athletic awards for soccer and football were presented.

IYe could not come up with much of a scoring punch, but We were strong defensively and kept the opposition goals to a minimum. Except for the 9-2 shellacking we took from Northwood, we fared surprisingly well considering the age of the team. VVe owe a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Nlclntyre who devoted a lot of time and energy to us. Nlost Valuable Player - Rick Southam Irvin Cup - Dave Gamble Nora: IVe fwisla to apologize for rlais all too brief accozmt of a very capable Hockey Teawfs season. SECOND HOCKEY The Second Hockey Team was highly successful this year, winning seven games and losing only two. Ideas of an undefeated season passed through our minds after Eve straight wins, but these vanished after a sound beating by Eastview. IV e then won two of our last three games to complete a fine season. Colours were re-awarded to MacPhail, Pyefinch, and Smellie and colours were awarded to Hoy and Michelson. Many thanks to our coach, Mr. C. Snelling, who taught us every fundamental in the game and gave us a lot of experience for next year. j. H. SINIELLIE SECOND HOCKEY Back Row: IJ. Berger, I, C. P.

L. Collyer, Vice-Capt. SKIING The Ski Team this year had better material to work with than in previous years but Lady Luck ran against us. The team was strong in Alpine events, but lacked the will and stamina to make good Nordic skiers. Our first meet was the Dalton XYood. in which boys' teams from all the high schools in Ottawa and the area were entered. Sedbergli won the meet but we beat them in Slalom and Giant Slalom. .-Xshbury ended up with a creditable third place. Shortly after we had another meet with Sedbergli and again we beat them in the Alpine but Sedbergh took the Nordic with a comfortable margin to win the three-wav clash. Next came the Tri-School Ski Xleet. Teams from liishoos. l..C.C.. and Ashbury took part. lt was held at St. Sauveur. Xshbury had a good chance in the Alpine again. We had Kim Rawley, who could, on 3.9 THE ASHBURIAN a good run. take Bishops and L.C.C.'s best. Chris Collyer could back up Kim, and john livans wasn't far behind. Larry O,Brien was not on skis due to an ankle injury. The Slalom broke us. Kim, Chris, and john fell on the first run, but on the second run Kim had the fastest time ofthe day and Chris and john came in with good times. Robert Cjiggsj Tifft was a surprise as he had a good run in the Slalom. The Giant Slalom went the same Way and the Cross-Country Run was hopeless. The Cross-Country course was not marked well, and as a result only one of our boys finished. Nearly everyone made a wrong turn and came in the way he left. VVe came third in the meet. VVe didn't bring much silverware back to the school, but we all en- joyed it - even Mr. Anderson, CI thinkj. On behalf of the Ski Team I would like to thank Mr. D. VVard and Mr. R. J. Anderson for helping us along and putting up with us during the season.

Highlight of this drive was a 62 to 36 victory over the jewish Community Centre. Cap- tain Dave Mulaner and Terry Marks paced the Ashbury attack with 24 and 19 points respectively. Instrumental in the team's fine late-season showing was Mulaner who scored 75 points in his last live games and was a bulwark on defence. For his outstanding contribution to the team. Mulaner was awarded the Most Valuable Player trophy. High scorer for the team was co-captain Avery VVaxman with 125 points. New- comer Marks impressed with his hustling defensive play and. in addition, reached the century mark in points scored. Another line performer on defence was Tom Baldwin who led the team in rebounding. XYinner of the Snelgrove Trophy for co-operation was second-year-man Peter Shoup. XVith only two members of this ycar's squad due to graduate, and with the prospects of a new gymnasium. all indications point to a suc- cessful 1966 season. D.T. ' 1 , 9 . ?

FIRST CRICKET Looking back over this season's cricket one's judgment is inevitably affected by the win over BCS., the first at Ottawa for some eleven years. It is perhaps too easy to suggest that the season was a good oneg there were some frustrating moments but there was, too, much exciting cricket. Quite a number of boys played for the XI and in view of the number of fixtures compressed into a very short season this was probably all to the good. Furthermore it gave some of the inexperienced players an oppor- tunity to play alongside the occasional guests drawn from the local cricketing circles. The IQleven benefited from the large number of seasoned players who had returned to schoolg it was heartening to have the support of at least one Grade XIII student. On the other hand the side was fortunate to be able to recruit such promising material as Pvefinch and Millar from the ranks of the Colts Iileiven. i The batting was never very secure. but a number of unlikely con- tributions usually made sure that enough runs were scored. The onlv exception to this was in the first innings at Iiennoxville where nerves took its full toll las usuall. Southam batted with much watchfulness and de- THE ASHBURIAN 41 veloped some powerful scoring shots on the leg side, Patton batted with elegance but without luck, Raymond with his eye in was entertaining - his soaring drives were one of the highlights, and several others had their moments of glory. The attack developed considerably as the term progressed. Pye- linch was generally very tidy with his swing, Patton was an erratic but persistent seamerg Read's left-arm around-the-wicket style was always aggressive, Raymond's all sorts of linger spin was never quite disci- plined enough to tease batsmen, yet they served to balance the team's bowling, and Millar's olfbreaks were usually bowled economically. Apart from the lack of a quickie- in this department Collyer might possibly have been serviceable - no schoolboy side could better the variety of bowling strength. Since the old adage catches win matches is more than usually true of schools' cricket, no mean measure of the season's success must be at- tributed to the fielding of the whole team. There were moments during a game, the closing portion of the B.C.S. innings at Ashbury comes to mind, when the fielding was of a very high standard, almost bristling with hostile attention. The ground fielding was usually of passable standard, and a fair number of catches were held. Raymond and Lawson in their best moments, to mention only two individuals, showed that fielding demands coordination, judgment, alertness, and concentration over a long period of time. In short, I think it fair to say that much was achieved in the term's cricket. I have mentioned several contributors by name in the various phases of the game, in some cases this is unfair to those who go unmen- tioned, particularly to those with less talent who struggled with deter- mination to improve their game. It is very often their efiorts that prove decisive, one has only to recall Millar at the crease in the dying overs of the second B.C.S. game suddenly connecting with a desperate pull-cum- hook to score an all-important fine-leg boundary. j.S.B.

Souruaai Ccapt.D: His batting this year was an asset, but he remains an indifferent wicketkeeper. His captaincy was a foundation for the team's success, often one felt that his authoritarian approach lacked judgment, but this is a minor cavil. COOPER! His experience made much difference to his approach this year so that he did score some runs. His batting lacks sound technique. Ri-:Ana He certainly made his ample presence felt in the side. A con- scientious bowler. P.A.'r'1'oN: He possessed a correct batting technique - the only straight player in the Eleven. His bowling never fulfilled its early promise. RAYMOND: This gifted athlete showed yet another side to his several talents. The accuracy and length of his throwing was particularly noticeable. If he would only mix a little discretion into his ag- gressive batting he could score many more runs. PYLFINCH: His bowling showed unusual command for a schoolboy of his age. A chirpy member of any fielding side. NllI.l,ARZ He will need to work hard on maintaining direction for his spin, even at the expense of losing some turn. His batting is most un- sound. A safe pair of hands in the field. LAwsoN: lixuberant member of the side but a bruin with the bat, SOIHC- how the unorthodoxy seemed to pay off and he enjoyed hitting the ball hard.

UNDER-16 CRICKET Incisive bowling, good fielding, and enthusiasm among most of the players were the better characteristics of the team this season. Failure to capture the initiative with the bat prevented a statistically pleasing record and a realisation of last season's ambition - a win against Bishops School. Unknown to the Under-16 team who received the Lennoxville team at Rideau Hall, the First XI were heading for their first victory over Bishopls School for some years. : However, almost sensing this triumph. it seemed, the young Ashbury players settled down to avenge themselves of a decisive loss at Lennoxville a week earlier. The bowlers found length and direction, and with the fielding discernibly sharper even than usual, the team came very close to their so-desired victory. The team returned to Ashbury in time to see the First's winning runs being scored amid scenes of great excitement, and it was wistfully observed that a promising young promotion from the Under-16 Xl had the satisfaction of hooking the final boundary hit. In comparison, the two games against Sedburgh School were lack- lustre, but not without interest, and honours were shared, each school winning one game. The team has been selected from Cumming CCaptainl, Klulaner QV. Capt.D Berger, Dyson, Farrugia, Hall-Brooks. Hopps. Loftus. Xlichelson, Millar, Moquette, Moulds, Pyefinch. and Smellie. Of these.

K.C. THE ASHBURIAN 47 ANNUAL CERITXIONIAI. INSPECTION This year the Corps Inspection was on Saturday, Xlay Sth, and departed from usual custom in being divided into two phases. The Squad demonstrations took place in the morning and the Ceremonial Parade was at 4.00 p.m. The Inspection was conducted by Ilis Excellency, the Right Honourable General Georges P. Vanier, D.S.O., NLC., CB., Governor- General of Canada. It was fortunate that the cloud and drizzle of the morning session had given way to warm sunshine and a large crowd was on hand to hear the Governor-Generals Closing Address. IIe began his speech by offering warm congratulations to the School Corps and went on to warn that discipline of self must come before leadership of others, and that self-denial could only be retained through adult life with a con- scious and sometimes agonizing effort. Personal sacrihce. he said, was often the only way to oppose the temptations of soft living. Sometimes I think that life in Canada has become easy. It takes a strong will to resist the temptation to slip into a rut of laziness and self-satisfaction and medio- crity. If you are to accomplish anything in your life, you must learn at the earliest possible age that nothing worthwhile can be accomplished without some sacrihce . . .H Canada, he asserted. had a great record in two VVorld lYars. A training in corps life at Ashbury was a good start to have made. Awards were presented to Cadet Major Taschereau. Cadet Captain Birou, Cadet Lieutenant Koussaya, Cadet Sergeant Parker and Cadet NI.

It is hoped that new construction will commence in the Spring and the building completed in time for the 75th Anniversary Celebration. Under the direction of the present Board Iixecutive the Campaign got off to a good start and everyone is optimistic that this group will continue to work toward the Schools financial objective of i5650,0llfl.

People argue that we are breaking our ties with our mother country just to appease our French-Canadian citizens by making a new national flag. Are we really compromising with French Canada? People are only using this argument as a scapegoat as they can't find another excuse on which to base their argument. Canada has been a nation for ninety-eight years and until this year we didn't have a distinctive flag. VVhy eouldn't we have a distinctive Hag before this year? The answer is that no one really thought much about a distinctive flag until recent years. The Liberal Party used it as an election pledge to appeal to the youth of this country. VVere the Liberals right in exploiting this issue? Personally I think they were right. It was time for Canada to have a national flag which would be an emblem for Canada only and not the British Merchant Navy. Eventual- ly one of the other political parties would have exploited the issue to its own advantage. Some people feel we had the new Hag forced upon us. No, we didn't have the new Hag forced down our throats to appease a minority. True, many French Canadians wanted a distinctive Hag but so did many other minority groups in Canada whose mother tongue wasn't French or English. The Liberal politicians knew this and used it to their advan- tage. If the Liberal Party thought for one instant they would lose the Hag debate they wouldn't have started the issue. Yes, there was some opposition. lsn't there opposition to all new ideas and developments, for isn't that what democracy is based on? The right of an individual is to express his or her opinion freely. lf we were living in an undemocra- tic society an individual wouldn't have any voice in government issues and if he did voice an opinion he would probably be shot. As Canadians we should be proud we had a choice in our new Hag. Canada has prospered and has grown to be a great democratic nation. lVe, the people of Canada, have a great heritage and we are still a young nation in comparison with other nations. We have not reached our potential, therefore, we can still strive to reach greater heights. XVC should be proud we have a flag which we are able to call our own. The colour of a flag doesn't mean as much as what the symbol stands for. The maple leaf represents Canada and we as Canadians should be proud of this new flag as it stands for our great nation. A. RESNIK l r l '1 .I . . sand,- aging:-I THE ASHHURIAN v, THE NEW' CANADIAN Fl..-XC -CON lVhen the new Canadian flag was oflicially raised earlier this vear, it was met with varying degrees of enthusiasm, nonchalance, and chagrin. It appears now to have been generally accepted by all Canadians, hutsthat does not eliminate the question of whether it was really necessary. Apparently there were many people who thought Canada needed a new Hag. l never encountered one, but there IHLISI have been a great many people, the majority of Canadians, in fact, who wanted a new Hag. Because the Government is the representative of the people. its prime purpose is to carry out the wishes of the people. If the majority of Canadians did not want the new Hag. then the government is certainly guilty of a breach of confidence. However, even if a great number of people did want a new Hag, that does not mean that it was necessary. XVe cannot go around changing our flag whenever the spirit moves us. Our original Hag had been with us since the confederation of this nation. It was perfectly acceptable to our forefathers, who were probably much more Worthy of it than we are. lt had seen us through the formation of our country as it now stands, innumerable internal problems. and two World wars. And while all this was going on, we were becoming stronger and more of a united nation, acting as one. Everything that we had accomplished to date, had been accomplished under the Hag. Thou- sands of Canadians died for that Hag. They revered it and loved it, and what it stood for more than their personal happiness, safety, or even their lives. VVhen we discarded that Hag, did we not also discard part of our heritage?. Perhaps it is significant that the original flag, founded in unity and harmony, was discarded in turmoil and confusion. XVhat is a Hag? Is it just a piece of pretty cloth with a conglomera- tion of lines, stars and stripes, hammers and sicltles on it? No. of course it's not. It is not the Hag you love, it is what the flag stands for: freedom. equality, all the characteristics of the nation it represents. Perhaps the new flag represents a changing of all that. Certainly the country is in the Worst shape ever. VVe are not as free as we once were. The new Canadian synibol, the maple leaf, is also the trade-mark of the country's largest slaughter and packing house. If this is the new Canada. with all its wonders, I thing I'll take the old one. thank-you. HA.-xsr 54 THE ASHBURIAN A MEMORY OF CHILDHOOD I had just Hnished my second week in grade two, and happy thoughts of a weekend with my friends filled my mind. It was a bright Saturday morning when I called on Paul French, my closest friend and neighbour. He invited nie in and we busied ourselves by playing with his electric train for the better part of the morning. VVe were called to lunch by Mrs. johnson, who had prepared delicious macaroni and cheese. During lunch the telephone rang and Mrs. johnson answered it. First there was a happy expression on her face, and then it changed to one of awe and shock. She appeared dumbfounded, and then she disap- peared upstairs. Paul and I exchanged glances and then went on eating. XVe Hnished and then became interested in a game of Snap. VVe . , . . played for two hours, until Paul s mother called him upstairs. He came downstairs in about twenty minutes with an expression similar to that of his mother's on receiving the news on the telephone. He invited me to stay the night and I accepted. XVe played on, but I noticed that Paul's reflexes were slower, and that he was finding it hard to concentrate. Our game terminated on Dr. johnson's arrival. VV e had a short talk, then we sat down to dinner. It was very odd, for all the French's seemed to be lost for words, and as a result I had to do all the talking, answered only by Yesses , Noes , and small smiles. After dinner we watched television and as before silence ruled supreme. Mrs. French went over to my home and returned in five minutes with my necessities. This was odd, for when mother saw Mrs. French, it usually meant a half-hour chat. But I passed this irregularity by, as I had done others all afternoon. After the program was over, we went to bed. Sunday morning was crisp and cool. I remember being awakened by a flock of geese migrating southward. It was early, and I was alone. I went downstairs. Then I decided to go home and get a few of my train cars. Once home, I found everyone was gone, and thought they had gone to church. I returned and found Paul up. VVe played, as yester- day, with his train. After breakfast, which was little better than dinner, I decided to go home and investigate whatever problem was obviously there. I ran out of the johnson's house and into ours. I was greeted by a host of people who were all grief-stricken. I saw my Aunt Marion. from Vancouver, who took me by the arm into the dining room. There she told me that my father had died. I then became one of the others. To this day I remember everything clearly. I think that the death of a dear one is one of the most distinct memories of childhood. CS. THE ASHBURIAN if OUTDOOR LIVING liver since the beginning of time man has endeavoured to become more civilised and more up to date in his living. llowever, there has developed a tendency for man to revert to the old ways, and somehow, the more civilised a country gets the more evident this becomes. l.et us take for example the wonderfully civilized United States which is sup- posed to have the highest standard of living, the highest average income and consequently, the best civilization in the world. An appropriate example in this case would be an average American man who has only one unusual characteristic in his favour and that is an education. He also has a job above the rank of ditchdigger and conse- quently is quite capable of spending his few holidays in the city where he can whoop it up and generally forget all the problems of the outside world. Instead, this very average American goes out into the great out- doors and proceeds to revert to the wild man of yore, although perhaps not quite as successfully. This is what he calls living. The probable length of such a trip would be about two weeks and during that troubled time he will swat every stinging insect known to man, have his food stolen by the animals who seem to be waiting for some unsuspecting indoorsman-turned-outdoorsman to come along, get himself caught in the tent zipper every time he crawls in, and, to top off the whole mess. he will trip over every stump and root that has ever been created. For anyone that has not experienced this adventure, a description of the man's day in the great outdoors would surely be in order. The average American man is setting out on his visit with Mother Nature. He has taken advantage of the knowledge that other average American men have acquired and he has come to the conclusion that he is going to need a few necessities. To a man who does not know about these important necessities it would seem like a lot of unnecessary para- phernalia. The adventurer has loaded his station wagon with an out- board motor, a special rubber fold-boat, barbecue range, etc. He spends the whole morning looking for a suitable place to camp and he finally finds one. The place looks absolutely charming with the lake and the little clearing surrounded by pine trees. The first thing to be done is to lay out the tent, and so he does when suddenly he notices a Hemaphilisis Spingera on his arm, getting bigger and redder. AH! He has made his first Contact with nature. Uur friend does not seem to like it but the hemaphilisis certainly does and consequently, it spreads the word so that our friend is subsequently bitten by a brown Gonyaulax Polyhedra and a bluish-black Gvmnodium Brevis which raises a huge lump on his arm. By seven o'clock dusk comes and everything is quiet. All one can hear is the chirp of crickets and the lapping of the lake on the shore when 55 THE ASHBURIAN there is the angry buzz of wings and the sound of slapping. An ab- solute swarm of Noctiluca Scintillatus skim by giving off a soft glow and the outdoorsman, that valiant never-say-die average American man- turned-outdoorsman, turns in for the night, leaving the glowing embers of his fire. The angry slapping goes on as he viciously eliminates the remaining airborne creatures, and with a quick zip of the zipper the rest of Nature is left outside. He cannot go out, poor soul, since, if he does, the rest of Nature will have its revenge. So, after cursing the insect repellent company our adventurer goes to sleep awaiting the new day and the troubles that it will bring him. The days pass and it is finally time to go home. The man goes to his car with all its equipment and drives back to his family in the city. To keep the masculine image up, he will tell his wife a little white lie Cas do so many other average Americansj, that he enjoyed himself. How- ever, in his deepest thoughts, he secretly tells himself: Never again, . . well . . . not until next summer at the earliest. A.j.S. FIRST IMPRESSIONS XVhen I first entered the school, I had built up the concept that it would be a long, tedious year with little pleasure mixed in. Little did I know what lay in store for me. During the course of the initial two or three weeks, I had a negative attitude towards the people, place and environment, but soon after, my opinion began to mould itself into something quite pleasant and hopeful. My original impression was that the school year would have little to offer except a long, nerve-racking, continuous conflict with my collea- gues and a bitter outlook on the life of a boarder. How wrong I was! I soon discovered that my colleagues were very friendly and helpful to a first-year student. I rapidly made friends, and, through time and patience, I soon grew quite accustomed to the life of an inmate. The college, unlike most other schools of its calibre, had a lot to offer in the way of social activities. Football, soccer and hockey helped maintain a high level of physical fitness among the students. Ashbury's prestige was greatly enhanced by the high degree of school spirit - something which is predominantly lacking in many public schools. The college has been able for many years to achieve a feeling of unity among its students, which has helped to promote smooth- running, efiicient operation. In assessing the value of such an experience I have reached the con- clusion that attending a boarding school greatly contributes to the moulding of one's character and future. I. I-IALUPKA THE ASHBURIAN sf THE TYRANNY OF F.-XSIIION His jacket was immaculate - collarless and short. l lis trousers and shoes would have satisfied anyone. llis hair hung down over his eyes. as did his friend's. But the boy was rejected by his friends, for his socks were the wrong colour! i Today's fashions are influenced by the young: the teen-agers who are never sure of what they want, and who are always changing. livery few months, the style-setters introduce a new fashion, andievervonie rushes to conform. Hair, shoes, socks, shirts - all are standardized to be in for one day and out the next. Teen-age girls change hair styles every week. They buy huge wardrobes so that they will never wearithe exact same dress as their friends. Everyone seeks popularity through conforming in dress, as a result, they sometimes neglect family, friends, and education. The tyranny of fashion is, however, felt more by the adults of today, those who have not retained the lithe, young figure of adolescence. They may suffer today because they were fashionable yesterday, or because they will never be in fashion again. Mature women suffer more than most. They find that the modern styles are not available in large sizes. They struggle into clothing too small for them, only to find that it reveals too many physical imperfec- tions. Such style-followers repel women-watchers by appearing in fashions which make them appear ridiculous. XYomen do not often suffer since they have always tried new fashions, and the modern woman has few prejudices to overcome. With older men, this is not so. The modern man has to sacriHce many things to be in style. He must lose the collar of his coat and the brim of his hat. He must squeeze into shoes much too narrow for comfort and still seem to enjoy life. Both sexes must overcome moral prejudices to some extent to over- come. This applies mainly to the older age group. They must forego modesty or good taste just to buy clothing which appears at least respect- able. They must spend fortunes to be in step with the neighbours. They inevitably are dominated by fashion, whether they wish it or not. This tyranny of fashion will probably never stop. People will always try to follow the fashions of youth: to torture their bodies with diets to reduce to an acceptable size. For, as one wise man said about the bikini, one of the most controversial articles of clothing to be introduced recently: lt can be worn by a woman of any height -from live feet three inches to five feet five inches -and of anv weight - from l 10 pounds to 77 116 pounds! j. Ru.-ui gg THE ASHBURIAN SILLY H UMANS The irridescent glow partially blinded me, my eyes were watering furiously trying to adapt themselves to their new environment. The blue-green irridescence seemed to thrive on the cold, grey atmosphere. liverpresent clouds. having no mercy on the sun, formed an impenetrable covering over my city, enveloping in a cloak of desperation, regret and hopelessness, all those who could venture outside. The relatively warm air escaping from a ventilator still powered by atoms, formed beads of condensation on the scorched aluminum-alloy walls. On closer inspection I saw a hand protruding incongruously through the ventilator Haps, its body supported grotesquely by it. The drama of this man struggling against death Hashed through my mind, frantically, desperately clawing at the opening to get air, but suffocating painfully, the last heave, then collapse, which should have broken his wrist but failed to, resulting in his undignified position in death. This was only one of the millions of pitiful encounters with death which must have occurred during the past few hours. A newspaper page, torn and stained, rustled swiftly over my head towards the city limits, apparently intent on Heeing this conglomeration of misery. I headed to the military center, hoping to find a vestige of life. Ap- proaching, I realized my folly, as this military section would be most severely hit. Twisted rocket-port frames, scorched metal, and over- turned hovercrafts, their paint blistered off, upholstery non-existant, and strewn bodies, variously disfigured and dismembered, were witness to the day's tragedy. A skeleton, divested of all its flesh but a few grizzled and partially burned insides, slept on the pavement. Parts of the bones had melted and resolidified during The Momentn, into amorphous globules. In a still-standing aluminum-alloy cone the bank looked normal and operational. I touched its convex walls lightly and an area five feet square collapsed into the dark interior. In the adjacent hotel, the desk clerk had his hand on the desk bell, ready to sound an arrival. Had his head not been a pulpy mass on the wall he would have rung the bell. The head, apparently severed by Hying glass, had left part of itself, notably an eyeball and some un- organized red material on a hat rack. Ironically, someone had hung up their brains to dry, but obviously too late. A waitress had had her arm caught in a dumbwaiter and a young man had run over to help her. He should have helped himself. I-Ie will lie sprawled across her till his dust joins with hers. THE ASHBURIAN Su In a crumbling department store, once seething with activity, now teeming with radio-activity, I found my way to the raid capsule. From Within I heard screams of a maniac: cries of agony, self-pity and despair. VVith a high leap, I snapped off the catch of the capsule's entry port. A woman, dishevelled, disinterred and disbelieving, staggered our, follow- ed by a man, both pitiful remnants of the human race. The female creature suddenly shrieked in fright and ran over the surrounding rubble, yelling hysterically a rat, a rat . The man followed. Silly humans, I muttered to myself, as I returned to open air to continue my search for cheese, Silly humans and their bombs. They never would take their own advice. B. .XICNAIR HISTORY History wanders, containing all the world and parts without. It fascinates me to great extent: Churchill, Charlemagne, Roosevelt, Cyrus, Canute, Vifashington, VVar, Armies, mass movement over the next green hill. Battles, Slashing, charging, leaping, dying, All for very little, or dialectics. East and TYest, hate and love, Tension, Population and H-Bombs creeping about in the night.

Men, great and small, honest and evil, Noble Csome doubts therel and loxvborn, Feudalism, PCHSLIHEFY, stag-hunting Arrows, ICBNl's are all the same. No difference, IVe're still uncivilized. CAx1PBiir-i. 60 THE ASHBURIAN THE OATI-I In the times of ancient Greece part of the upbringing of an Athenian youth involved taking an Oath in which he pledged himself, heart and soul, to the State. Being impressed with the quality of the ideals ex- pressed, our lleadmaster quoted it to us during the Opening Assembly. Now the Oath, or an adaptation of it, is written out on one of the walls for all to see and absorb: I will never bring disgrace to this, my School, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice. I will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the School, both alone and in company. I will revere and obey the School's regulations and do my best to earn the respect of those in authority. I will strive un- ceasingly to be courageous, honest and courteous, and to up- hold the best traditions of the School. Thus in all these ways, I will transmit this my School not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to me. In the modern world, however, nothing is entirely beyond the reach of iconoclasts. National Hags are used for awnings, ethnic pride is used to ice provincial cake, and municipal grace may be found at the end of a toy pistol. It was inevitable that the pristine classicism of the Oath would give rise to some lack of reverence by latter-day Athenians who might at least have chosen sophisticated verse form. THE OATH of a latter-day neo-Athenian youth I will never bring disgrace to this my School. I will never be accused of dirty pool. I may cheat at French and Math, And incur my teachers' wrath, But I'll never bring disgrace to this my School. I will fight for the ideals and noble things, And not destroy my strength with boozy flings. Though my epithelioma, Craves a dozen fat corona, I will fight for the ideals and noble things. Scholastic law I will revere and serve, Though not with any marked degree of verve. Academic juris Prudence Onlv nauseates the students, So scholastic law I'll serve with some reserve. THE ASHBURI.-IN The Authorities' respect I'll duly earn. I'll apple-polish 'til their stomachs turn. To the Prefects l'll give reefers, And back horses for the teachers, So the Authorities' respect l'll duly earn. To be honest and courageous I will strive You will never catch me in an opium dive. To simony and lechery, l'll restrict my moral treachery, But honesty and courage will survive. This School will I transmit with greater fame. It is not my aim the Schools good name to maim, But my certain impropriety, Must occasion notoriety. There was no such claim to fame before I came. P.R.T GUILT There you lie, all cold and still, Killed by lust for blood, Vlihich, though yours, was not your will. Fate, not I, would have your death, And so I killed, and you are still. You came to me one summer night, Down from the stars you came, And then I saw and felt your might, And then lashed out in hate. The fight began and you attacked, I slashed, you stabbed, and then did die. For you are cold and do not Hy - But then, all mosquitoes must die. ALIAI ARK 62 THE ASHBURIAN THE TYRANNY OF FASHION Before beginning any study on the subject of fashion it is necessary to be sure of what is meant by this term. Personally, when I hear the word fashion , I think of it in the broad sense of conformity, and it is with this in mind that I continue. The history of mankind contains countless unimportant events Cat least unimportant in themselvesl but one generalization may be drawn from this endless chronicle. That is that man passes through two alternate and opposite periods. These two periods may be simply called conformity and nonconformity. The periods of conformity are the long, relatively quiet times of stability and gradual progress such as the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Victorian era and the modern world. These are periods in which man forsakes his own soul and relinquishes it to the conquering force of materialism. Instead of con- centrating on the beauty of art and free thought, nian works towards improving his standard of living, applying inventions to practical prob- lems, and making money. All these pursuits, of course, tend to stifie individualism, one of man's inherent qualities, since he is thinking only of material good. On the other hand, the periods of nonconformity are relatively brief, fast-moving times of conflict, not with material problems or enemies, but rather with the problems of life itself. Examples of these are the ancient Greek civilization of Athens and the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Age of Enlightenment. During these periods, no important breakthroughs in applied science were made, but man did find out more about his own world and its place in the universe, and he also gave much thought to his actual purpose on earth. These periods saw the emergence of the individualist and gave birth to such figures as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Erasmus, Martin Luther, Da Vinci, Dante, Newton, Locke, and the many scientists and philosophers of the eighteenth century. These men sought to solve no specific problems, but rather worked for learning alone. Let us now return to conformity and look at its evils. Conformity such as is now overwhelming every facet of modern life destroys man's instinctive questioning nature and renders him a mere unthinking robot. Xlan becomes not an inventive, creative genius but rather a technician, which requires only the application of a great principle to the solution of a problem. This can be applied to every aspect of life-man no THE ASHBURIAN ,gg longer wishes to appear different, and even fears being ostracizecl for individualism, and is happy to follow-the-leader blindly. This is dan- gerous because perhaps man can become so conformity-conscif,us that he will perish through his inability to meet some new situation. And so we see that while a nation progresses in a materialistic sense through the defying of technology, her life-blood, the spirit of man, is being slowly sapped away. I3. .XICNAIR FIRST DAY TYhen I first heard of my impending imprisonment, I was rather in- different to the whole affair. However, as the summer raced on, I became more and more aware of the doom to which I was destined. The superficially rosy picture painted by the school prospectus yielded one or two clues that I might perhaps survive the ordeal-to-come with a minimum of suffering. Xly talk with the Director of Studies also brightened the outlook somewhat, for here I learned that weekends would still be virtually free, and that two hours of games a day would provide ample exercise. However, despite this silver lining to my personal cloud, my depression deepened as that fateful September day drew near. I arrived in the school about ten minutes before lights-out. having come straight from a farewell dinner for my parents Cperhaps an attempt to dull my sensesl, and suddenly found myself horribly alone in a strange environment. I hurriedly emptied the contents of my trunk into some drawers, changed and went to bed. That night I made the acquaintance of my I'0OIl1-IHHIC and we spent some time talking about this and that. It is rather diflicult to imagine the feelings that one experiences when one is alone in a strange environment, knowing that only a few miles away. your old friends and class-mates are enjoying the things that you en- joyed when you were among them. Finally everyone settles down after the holidays, and one makes a few friends, and the barriers of self- consciousness and loneliness are gradually broken down. I was rather shocked when a distinguished-looking master walked in and asked me if I considered that my sideburns were an integral part of my character, and told me to remove them regardless of my feeling on the subject. Rather a blow! 64 THE ASHBURIAN As the term progressed l began to feel more and more secure among my new friends, and I was able to judge my surroundings a little more objectively. l even began to enjoy things a bit. I began to appreciate teachers a little more, and I became quite keen at games. I attribute this growing contentment to tae fact that so much of one's time is planned for, that one simply doesn't have time to think about personal problems. I also found that, although I am not a member of any particular Church, the morning Chapel service put me in the right frame of mind for the day's work, and during examinations, it served to quell some nervousness and strain. Although at first I found the Sunday services time-consum- ing, I grew to like them because they provided an opportunity to learn about an unfamiliar institution. The thing I noticed most here, however, was that the school has an inHuence on everyone, making them better people simply by forcing them to live for a year in close quarters with one another, and I feel that it is this aspect which distinguishes a boarding school from a public school. Looking back on the year, I have found it really a rather pleasant and enlightening experience, and I am at least not dreading the thought of coming back next year. J.

ISIENNEDY, President of the United States, was felled by an assassin's bullet in Dallas, Texas, on November 22nd, 1964, after a short but remarkable term as President. Sm AAYINSTON CHURCHILL, great Statesman, author and warrior, died on january 24th, 1965, at the age of 90. Special references to both these great men was made by the Headmaster in Chapel, and Senior boys signed the Memorial Book at the U.K. Commission Oflice, where Sir Henry Lintott spoke briefly of Churchill's outstanding achievements. MEETING OF THE HEADMASTERS' ASSOCIATION The Thirtieth Meeting of the Headmasters' Association was held at Lakeheld with Mr. G. VV. Smith in the President's Chair. Sixteen Headmasters, Hve Honorary Members, and three American representa- tives were present. In addition to regular business, the meetings were addressed by Mr. Thomas Allen of the Toronto Star, Major-General IV. A. B. Anderson, Adjutant-General of the Canadian Army, President T. H. B. Symons of Trent University, Mr. Ross Blaikie of Canadian Facts and Mr. Duncan Cordon. Chairman of the Canadian Foundation for Independent Schools. lt was a good conference, and productive of a number of excellent suggestions for the betterment of the Independent Schools. lflected as next year's President was Mr. lf. C. Cayley of Stanstead College, Quebec. THE ASHBURIAN 6f THIL CLC JSING CIQR FNIONIIQS This year the closing day was postponed until .lune 12th in the hope that it would not be the day of the Air Show. l lowevcr, the lforces had the same idea and the closing ceremonies were held with the roar and scream of the jets and other flying sundries overhead. There was light drizzle but the weather brightened up and every- thing went well as planned. The guest of honour was the l ligh Com- missioner for the United Kingdom, Sir llenry Lintott. llis speech was prefaced by several humourous remarks which put everyone present at their ease. He then went on in a more serious vein to mention the great democracy of Canada and continued with some advice for the bovs. VVe were told to be sceptical about others' advice, that is to sav, that ive should learn to think for ourselves, and not depend on others to think for us. He made everyone, especially the graduating class, seriously consider the future, and realize that they would not have everything handed them on a silver platter as had been the case at Ashbury. i Another high point was the address by Commodore Ross which told of the plans for development. They were encouraging, although some of us were disappointed that the building operation would not commence this summer, since there were not sufficient funds. However, he said that Work might start on the new gymnasium and that the Southam family had underwritten the new library in the old gynmasium as a memorial to H. S. Southam. One more unusual plan was that the school had thought about building several houses in Rockcliffe Park to house several senior boys and members of the staff. Commodore Ross also congratulated the staff on its good work this year and spoke of the high quality of the replacements for next year. The Headmaster reviewed the year's activities. He thanked the members of the staff, the school officials and Xlothers' Guild for their continued support. Nlr. Perry's remarks were interspersed by the cus- tomary jet Hy-past. After an interesting valedictory by the Head Boy, XY. gl. Booth. in which he spoke of how proud every boy that goes to Ashbury should be, the prize-giving commenced. Among those who gave our the prizes were: His Excellency Anuman-Raiadhon, the Thailand ambassador, Alr. Robert Thompson, ALP., leader of the Social Credit Party, D. XY. Shaver, B.A., the District Inspector for the Eastern A rea, Barry O'l3rien. Esq., president of the O'Brien Gold Alines and also an old boy of Ash- bury. The Athletic Prizes and special awards were presented by another old boy of Ashbury, S. Irvin, -lr.

Looking back over my eleven years at Ashbury, however, I must admit that it has not been as unbearable as I thought it would be. My first day here was terrifying. Big fellows called prefects ordered us around and told us to keep silent in no uncertain terms. VVearing a tie and blazer was annoying, and knowing nobody except my brother, I felt quite alone. I didn't even know how to get from my house to Ashbury. Since then, however. the trip has become almost a habit and September has become a signal to return to 312 Mariposa. In those many years, there have been great improvements and welcome changes. The Argyle Auditorium and a new Physics Lab were added, if all goes well, next year will see the construction of another new building. Ash- bury has grown much since its founding by Canon IVoollcombe and it will keep growing after we have all graduated. Now that I am leaving, I can honestly say that I shall miss the old place. Besides the work, the prep, the examinations, the gatings, and all the unpleasant things that go with school, there were also many good times. On the playing Held there was organised fun and in the class- room, somewhat less organised fun. Teachers must be an abnormal breed of people to be able to withstand such a life. Now at the end of my school days - and I have been at Ashbury longer than any other present student-I believe that every boy has some feeling of loyalty towards Ashbury. He will never admit it in front of the boys , but this loyalty is amply displayed on the games field and on the hockey rink. Ashbury is not such a bad school to stand up for. People the world over will tell you that, because there are people in countless countries who have attended this school in their youth. Ashbury has always been a home to boys whose real homes are thou- sands of miles away. This makes our school a little different from most others, and 'aresents a varietv of outlooks on life for us. At Ashbury we are not only taught to do maths, and science and languages, but we are also taught how to behave and act like young gentlemen. Ashbury tries to build a boy's character so that he can move forward in the world with confidence. In the classroom we are taught to study, in cadets we are given discipline and responsibility, and in sports we are inculcated with sportsmanship. Now that we of the Graduating Class are leaving, we will have to adapt to the values of the outside world and will have to govern ourselves, for there won't be any masters to hover over us and make sure we have done our work. No doubt we'll see to the playing time ourselves. So finally, from the Graduating Class, a sincere thank-you to our teachers, and to those students returning, mv best wishes, and remember. you have a hne reputation to maintain. i IV. J.

Never too loud or outspoken, Bill ruled the School well, and set a good example to all. Next year he takes his charm to Queens, to study engineering. A. P. D. GANIBLEZ Captain of the Borders. Dave excelled in all fields this year. He kept order on the Hats, led the First Hockey Team and still maintained a good academic standing. Best of luck where- ever you are next year, Dave. A. XV. ANDERSON: Captain of the Day Boys. In his fifth year at Ash- bury, Tony forsook athletic pursuits for academics. Nevertheless he found time to play football, and to assist Alt. Anderson with the training of the Cadet Corps. Next year he hopes to attend R.Xl.C.. where we wish him the best. B. Cr. :XLLAIARKZ Barry first entered the Common Room legally at Easter. Since then he has fulhlled his duties with devotion, mean- while enjoying the pleasures of life as a Prefect. After quarter- backing the football team in the Fall, he turned his attentions to his books, and did quite well in his final exams. D. M. .LXTACK2 Another Easter Prefect, Dave was always quiet in the Common Room. Nevertheless, he was firm when firmness was needed. Spare hours he spent riding around in his car. thinking. and making plans for the future. Good luck next year! 16 THE ASI-IBURIAN Nl. Birtotf: At Christmas, Nlerid became the School's Hrst Prefect from Ethiopia. He upield this honour well, both in School and on the playing fields. Most noteworthy of his activities were the winning of the Best Cadet Officer Award, the re-awarding of his Colours for soccer, and the organizing of the School dances. R. CHANTLER: This was only Bob's second year at Ashbury. This was no hindrance to his duties as a Prefect, as he did a good job of upholding the law. Aside from his scholastic abilities, he was the Best Lineman on the First Football Team, and a steady defenceman for the Hockey Team. B. j. CooPER: Barry was another of the Prefects created at Christmas. He was outstanding in all fields, winning the Upper Sixth Merit Prize, Colours for soccer and cricket and the Most Valuable Player Trophy for siccer. Next year he plans to return to Ashbury, neglecting extra-curricular activities in favour of his studies. R. D. JOHNSON! The studious Prefect, johnny always had a bulging brief- case close to hand. The advantages of this were well shown by his high academic standing. Not a top athlete, but always a fierce competitor, his presence was always noted, wherever he went. T. L. MACDONALD: Tom's favourite pastime during holidays was driving around in his bright red Volvo. He also was commanding officer of the Cadet Flag Party. and adiutant to the Corps. Owing to injury his athletic life was limited, nevertheless he was a staunch supporter of the Ashbury teams. R. B. NICNAIR: Bruce, not only because of his size, but also because of his strong personality, commanded respect from those around him. ln this, his last year at Ashbury, he did very well for himself, playing football, skiing and commanding the Cadet Honour Guard. l. ll. P.-nuttin: lan suffered much after Faster for being the smallest Prefect. However, he upheld his duties well, and was a happy addition to the Common Room. Conscientious and hard-working, he showed that size - except in some cases - is no handicap. Oc on Xlemhers of the Graduating Class, l.Xn informal posel j. D.

The Mother's Guild Luncheon at noon, now an annual function in the Gym, was its customary best. Nor was this all, as the Mothers organized an evening BuHet following the Big Four Game at Lansdowne Park. Although there was no evening dance, there was a good turnout of both Old Boys and Parents and the event was thought to be not only novel, but a success. .lf10'l7f1'6Ll1 - Decewzbev' 3rd, 1964 Thanks to Cargill Southam, a delightful party was arranged at the Bad- minton 8t Squash Club, with a fair but enthusiastic turnout.

Mrs. Hunden is returning to the west coast. She is a superior teacher who brought a perfect combination of firmness and gentleness to her little World in Room G. She had the boys in the palm of her hand from the first day. Form l made amazing academic progress and had a most happy year with her. Xlr. Attwell, my assistant in the junior School, and Mr. Xlorgan, our geography and science man, are not coming back and will be missed. They both had the sincerity and character required for good school masters. Nlr. Harwood-jones had a cheerful year with us and brought his talents to such varied pursuits as playing the organ, taking Form I for touch football during games periods, and teaching our senior English and Latin. Klr. Xlclntyre organized more extra-curricular athletics than we have ever had in the junior School. YVhether he was working with Form I or Transitus boys, he had the right approach. EDITORIAL Thoughts on Leaving the junior School . . . The thirty of us who are leaving the junior School will encounter and enjoy the large tasks which lie ahead in the Upper School. We shall jump from the noble position of the highest forms of the junior School where We were respected and envied by the younger boys. to the lowest classes of the Seniors. TVC shall encounter many new things such as cadets and chemistry and we shall face greater responsibilities in preparation for future life. VVe shall miss, of course, all the routine ways of the juniors - early lunchg leaving at five o'clockg the Viingg choir practiceg and green blazers.

We cruise along in our happy isola- tiong however we do have our heroes. and these bovs will bring future honours to Ashbury in both fields. Some of the vear's highlights are outlined below. i B T CULTURE. Xlr. Brain took our first program. llc gave a brief bio- graphical sketch of the first headmaster, Dr. XYoolQcombe. and a short history of Ashbury's early days. We had visits from an RCXIP oflicer. a Humane Society ofiicer, an entomologist, among others. Nlr. Perry was caught by the camera of one of our juniors giving his valuable yearly talk. Some of the culture periods were in the Chapel. some showed movies in Argyle. one introduced the boys to the mysteries of chemical change. We look forward to these Nlonday half hours and the programs are valuable. HUMANE SOCIETY. Each year this organization offers prizes to public schools for essays which illustrate the work of the Society. Our winners were: Grade V-Robert Sanders, Michael Perley-Robertson. Sunchai Rajadhon, Richard Stewartg Grade VI-David Orr. Antoni Basinski, Donald Hatchg Grade VII-john Dent, David Vennor-Nlorrisg Grade VIII-IYilliam Davies. Some of the essays will be found printed in the Literary Section. IN THE CLASSROOM. This spring our Grade VIII boys spent about an hour each week watching a special series of school telecasts explaining the new mathematics. The boys will be encountering this different approach to maths next year and these broadcasts gave them a good background. Connaught House won academic honours, gaining ten points toward the VVilson Shield. Form IIIA was awarded a day free from school as having the best increase in marks between fall half term tests and the Christmas examina- tions. Members of the Top Banana Club fan average of 80: 4 or betteri at various periods this past year were: Biggonnet xl21CLlUI'll1Cll Blaumann Xlacfarlane Crerar .XlcRuer Davis Orr I Graham Osmond Hart Yennor-.Xlorris Hatch Wilson 90 THE ASHBURIAN .Nlusic Project awards were given to the following: Transitus A Transitus B IIIA Hon.

Sandy Smallwood received these letters as a result of a project given to IIIB. Ottawa February 26th, Dear Sandy, 1965 Thank you for writing me and I am interested to learn of your school project. I am sending you my autograph on the attached card in case this will be more suitable than on a letter. Perhaps when spring comes I will see you playing games at school when I am out walking with my dog, Happy. VVith best wishes, I am, Yours sincerely, Cjohn Diefenbakerj .Xly dear Sandy: 25th May' 1965 I have had your letter on my desk for some time and I am sorry that I have not been able to write to you before this. I do hope this letter will not reach you too late to be of use in your class project. I am always pleased to hear from anyone who bears the same surname as I do. May I wish you every success with your studies. Sincerely yours, Cjoseph R. Smallwoodb P.S. lVhy don't you drop me a line and tell me something about your family tree? CJRSJ ANOTHER LETTER. Klr. Polk discovered the following in his office one day last term. Dear Mr. Polk, I have called my mother, and have procured her permission to go home for the afternoon, to go to bed and wrap up my throat, to try and rid my self of a case of swollen throat glands, Cshe is picking me upj. I am leaving this note in case I do not get a chance to tell you personally. This condition has occurred a couple of times in the past, and we have discovered that the above remedy is the only one which does any good, however, I will be back tomorrow. If you call home, my mother will further illeviate. Yours respectfully, THE ASHBURIAN VI UPPER CANADA YILLACIIQ. lfive staff members crowded into two buses along with one hundred junior school boys. The boys were in holiday spirit for the weather was ideal, they were going to L'pper Canada Village, and perhaps IIIOSI important, they were not sitting in a classroom. We divided into four groups and wandered at our leisure. .Xlany of the boys had visited the Village before. but this perhaps in- creased rather than lessened their pleasure. For those who had not made the trip before, the day was naturally a fascinating one. After a sand- wich lunch under the trees fliberally augmented by trips to the restau- rantj, we returned to the Village, and then drove back to Ashbury serenaded by the various songs which bovs, en masse en buses, feel compelled to burst out with. i CLUBS. Several junior School clubs were organized this year. Some were short lived, but others fiourished. Accounts of the activities of the Science Club, the Dramatic Society. and the Chess Club are given separately elsewhere. POETRY READING. This contest maintains a strong popularity with the juniors and again we had an elimination contest as thirty boys entered the event. The judges chose eight finalists, Bounsall, Barnes I, Stead, Pryde, Orr II, Barker, Osmond and Braathen. An account of the final contest is given in another section. ARBOR DAY. This is an American holiday which was hrst celebrated in Nebraska in 1872. The Day is fairly wide spread in the U.S. and is a tree planting ceremony for school children. The object is to develop civic pride in the beauty of the city. Nlr. Morgan instituted the cere- mony at Ashbury this year. A Schwedler Xlaple was presented by Nlr. john A. Cole, an Ashbury parent. David Cole, john Dent, the form monitor, and Ronald Reid performed the planting. NOTE: The newspapers report that Mayor Reid is considering a city wide Arbor Day celebration with a view to beautifying Ottawa for centennial year. Perhaps the idea sprang from his son! FLAG CEREMONY. On February 16 the juniors joined the Upper School at the flagpole. Mr. Perry 'spoke on the significance of the coming event and then the School Captain. Bill Booth, lowered the Red Ensign and raised the new Canadian Hag. lt was an impressive and his- toric ceremonv and one which most juniors will remember. FINAL NOTE. It was quite a noble sight to behold Xliss Black and Mrs. Hunden carrying on the gym periods with their Forms l and ll boys for the first week or so of term. until Xlr. Xlclntyre arrived. 92 THE ASHBURIAN JUNIOR SCHUOL CHAPEL The junior Chapel and the Choir, members of which are all junior boys, have been responsible for an increased devotional atmosphere in the daily services. Our own service every morning, plus our attendance at the regular Sunday services, under the direction of the School Chaplain have been inspiring. The wonderful music you have heard coming from the Chapel this year has been the work of Mr. Godfrey Hewitt, the Choirmaster. lt is truly said that good Choir leadership induces the congregation to sing too. Xlr. Harwood-jones has been the regular organist for our services. The Chaplain prepared several juniors for confirmation which was held on May 28th when 21 boys were confirmed by the Right Reverend E. S. Reed. The Chapel Monitor was james Laidler and the Choir Monitor was Patrick Barott. Once again our lessons were read by the Monitors in rotation - Barnes I, Davis, Deutsch, Dollin, Kennedy, MacDonald Il, Macfarlane, Turner. At the beginning and at the end of terms, Mr. Polk, our junior Housemaster, read the lessons. This year members of the Junior School staff read on Wednesdays - Mrs. S. Hunden, Miss VV. Black, Messrs. P. Harwood-jones, P. Marland, R. Morgan. To all who have contributed to our junior School Chapel life we say a sincere thank-you. LAIDLER REV. E. :XTTXVELL JUNIOR LIBRARY Grateful thanks to Lynn for his valued contribution of books. They were greatly appreciated by all concerned. Many of the older books were repaired by Mr. Attwell and the librarians, thus adding to the amount of readable books now about 350. The librarian was Nlacfarlane and he was ably assisted bv Dollin, Barnes I, and Davies ll. Most popular magazines were Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, judging by the fact that they never reached the library unless the librarian was in the dining room when the mail came in. lfines levied for overdue books amounted to approximately 555.00 and fines actually collected amounted to about 35c. THE ASHBURIAN ya ,IUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB With Xlr. Morgan's encouragement a junior Science Club was formed this year. At the first meeting in October a tentative programme of interesting tours was made up. NYC did not manage to visit all the places on our programme. but the lirst visit was on lfriday. October 30, to E. B. Eddy's Pulp 8 Paper Nlill in Hull, P.Q., where Xlr. Lamb gave us a very comprehensive tour which we all enjoyed. As a result of this tour Tom Graham made a wonderful model of the Plant which was on show at the Science Exhibition. Our second EOLII' was of the Dominion Observatory on Friday, November 19. Unfortunately it was a cloudy night so we were unable to look through the telescope, but we did see a most interesting movie on the Universe and were shown around the Observatory. On April 23 we went to the Chemistry Division of Ottawa Univer- sity and thanks to Laidler whose father is Vice-Dean of the Faculty. spent a fascinating afternoon viewing various experiments. Vie also saw an exciting part of the Biology Department where the students were dissecting cats looking for the muscles. This was the most remembered part of the trip. On Friday, May 14, we visited the Paleontology Division of the National Museum where we saw the restoration of dinosaur skeletons. Science Exhibition. At the Parents' Reception on Friday, February 19. the Science Club put on an exhibition in Room K, consisting of a marvel- lous collection of rocks extremely well labelled and mounted by Don Turner. YV e were pleased to see Don with us again for he had been away sick since Christmas and he is to be congratulated on his fine rock collection. Also in the exhibition was Tom Graham's model of E. B. Eddy's Plant and Tom was on hand with a very knowledgeable explanation of the workings. A very interesting plaster cast model of an open-pit mine was constructed by VV. Davies and Laidler. Davies was in attendance to explain the the model to the parents. The members of the Science Club are very sorry to learn that Klr. Morgan will be leaving the Staff this year, and wish him well in his new position- maybe he will come back next year to give us a talk on soil analysis. Oflicers of the Club Were: President: Davin NIACFARLANE Vice-President: Doxaum TURNER Secretary: PETER DAX'IS ya THE ASHBURIAN MUSIC CLASSES This has been a most enjoyable and rewarding year. The creative aspect of our classes was presented to the parents by an Orff demonstra- tion when members of Form ll performed on the lovely sounding Orff instruments. Some of the older boys played on the recorders. The ladies of the Kiwanis Club had the same demonstration performed at their monthly luncheon held in the Chateau Laurier. Doctor johnson once said, XVhoever wishes to attain an English style must give his days and nights to the volumes of Addisonf, To the would-be lover of great music one might say VVhoever desires a faculty of music appreciation must give his attention to the masterpieces of the great composers. This we have done in a limited way in our classes. Art projects were done on the composers whose works were heard and discussed. Prizes were given to Rincon I, Copeland, Merkley I, Phillips and Gosse. l have reason to believe that the junior school boys will always take an interest in the music of Gilbert and Sullivan after combined efforts of boys and staff in the successful production of The Town of Titipoo , the music and story based on The Mikado . Music prizes for the boys with the highest average were presented at the closing to the following: Form I-Cuthbertsong Form ll-Rajadhong Form IHA-Blyth, Form IIIB-Hatch, Transitus A-Graham, Transitus B-Connell. IRENI-1 VVOODBURN XVRIGHT PREPARATORY SCHOOL MEETING The Preparatory School Committee of the Canadian Headmaster's Association met this year at Bishopls College School on April 3. Repre- sentatives from seventeen schools were present, including lan Spencer who flew in from Halifax where he is Head of the Lower School of the Halifax Grammar School. The morning session was devoted to a consideration of the new method of teaching mathematics. Mr. George Allan was the speaker, and his address stimulated a lively discussion. The afternoon session was given over to a consideration of various topics which particularly concerned thc junior level of independent schools. Such matters as uniform entrance tests, guidance counsellors, the slow reading problem, promotion by subject rather than by grade, staffing of preparatory schools, were discussed at some length. Mr. Polk was .-Xshbury's repre- sentativc and reports that the meeting was valuable and stimulating. i ,.. THE ASHBURIAN or llIA's CLASS TRIP We were all verv excited at tae thought of having a whole dav out instead of stexving in 'the classroom like the rest of the junior School. Mr. Morgan gathered us together and we walked down to the hus stop. We drove down to the Art Gallery xvherc we were shown many paintings by famous artists. After this we went to the Chateau Laurier and had a swim, which everyone enjoyed very much. XYC next had lunch at a lloney Dew Restaurant, consisting mostly of eating french fries, hot dogs, hamburgers and drinking Honey Dew. This was most acceptable after our strenuous mornmg. After this good lunch we went to a iilm called Cheyenne Autumn which was about Indians and the white man's adventures with them. Vl'e returned hy bus to school after a very nice day. Three cheers for Mr. Xlorgan and thank you very much from all Illa. D. C. Viaxson-Nloiuus me-as A It p YQ? J ,nl :X Vs . greg U, V,.. .1 . awe.

THE TOXYN OF TITIPU For several weeks during the Autumn Term, a definite atmosphere of culture invaded the junior School. The cause was simple: THF TOVVN OF TITIPU was in rehearsal. lt was a genuine musical play, written by Nlr. Harland, who had The .llileado in mind, and stole the songs from The .Uikndo and lolfmtbe. The plot was one of complicated love triangles menaced by the possibilitv of violent death in a variety of interesting forms, and the locale was ofiiciallv japan but could have been anywhere oriental. i i Auditions were held in October, and from then until the end of November, .Nliss Black and Nlr. Nlarland supervised rehearsals. whilst Klr. Ilarwood-jones, and then Nlrs. lVright,i provided musical accom- paniment. .-Xs the NIGHT grew frighteningly closer, Nlr. Wright kindly came and gave his expert advice upon vital details of production. .Xnd then, on Nlonday, November 30th at 8.00 p.m., Tl llf, TOXYN Ol TITIPL' was presentedg the audience was extremely appreciative. and it can be concluded that the play was a success. Raiadhon was an excellent IOXMYIIIICX ft'lt'f0fIl7ll, who held all the important civic positions in Titipu. and was thus extremely offended to learn that a mere bootmalcer -e- a man who makes boots had been elevated ro the dizzy rank of executioner, and Crerar, as that Hxecutioner.

Robertson looked completely rakish as the Emperor of japan. and announced, with dis- concerting conviction - lYhere are the dancing girls? l usually have dancing girls to greet me . There were no dancing girls. but there -was a brief ballet sequence during which Crerar and Xloquette Hitted around the stage for no reason other than that the script had said they must. Less vital roles were performed with similar talent: Sanders was an unwordlx' Xkandering Xlinstrel f 'heavily disguisedulg llart and llateh were delectable little maids. and Orr ll and Wilson radiated self-import- ance as the two pessimistic noblemen. The chorus of assorted rabble looked colourful, and sang tunefully, if not loudly. We must extend our thanks to Xliss Black. Xlr. Nlarlind. Xlrs. Wright and Xlr. Harwood-jones. lt was Xlr. Xlorgan and his team of artists who provided the excellent scenery. and Xliss Tasehereau was responsible for the professional make-up. 98 THE ASHBURIAN THE CHESS TOURNAMENT VVhen lists were posted for the 6th Annual Chess Tournament, the response was greater than ever.

Palmer I Palmer gl A FOREIGNER'S OPINION OF CRICKET For several years French boys whose parents are attached to the Embassy have attended Ashbury for our afternoon program. These youngsters carry on their French schooling by correspondence in morn- ing study at home, and are with us for games and four afternoon class- room periods. Xavier North, who spoke very little English when he arrived last january, produced the following composition which the editor thought was worth printing. IVHY I DON'T LIKE CRICKET I don't like cricket because it is not a very active game. Cricket is not really a sport. Cricket is a game in wich you don't run. in wich you don't do anything. Cricket is a play for lasy Canadians and Englislfs boys. But for French's, English's boys who like active games, Cricket is a game that they don't like. And in the cricket only boys who really play are the boys with the bat. IVhen someone is in front of the wickets. he stays there for a long time. and the other boys are bored. The other boys sleep on the grass and the cannot play again for a long time. I like french football more than cricket. 102 THE ASHBURIAN JUNIOR SPORTS SOCCER Under 12 - Sedbergh, away. Lost 7-2. The game was very disappointing. VVe were definitely outclassed, but Xlr. Polk said we played a good game. Many times we almost scored, but always lost the ball. Under 12 - Sedbergh, home. Tied 1-1. Seemingly spurred on by their defeat in the first game, the team struggled hard and came out with a tie. One of the many stars was Pryde who scored our only goal. The teams were now so evenly matched that another game was slated to decide which team was better. Under 12 - Sedbergh, home. Lost 1-0. This game was a model. There was a high team spirit, and our drive was very hard throughout the game. Unhappily Sedbergh scored late in the second half and we could not regain the point. Under 13 - Selwyn House, away. Lost 4-0. Our first game was disappointing. YVe were soundly beaten, and only fortunate that the score was not higher. The boys had not played together as a team, in fact Nlr. Polk had not seen some of them in action. However we lost mainly because the team did not have the necessary drive. Under 13 - Selwyn House, home. Lost 2-0. The team found itself and developed a determination to win. Even though outplayed in the first half we held the score to a 0-0 tie. In the second period our boys had a slight edge on the play, but it is shooting goals that win a game, and Selwyn House came up with two well- deserved points. Under 1-1 - Sedbergh awav. lYon 3-2. This was an exciting game and Blaumann drove one into the net with five minutes to go giving us the win. Scorers, Blaumann 2, Copeland l. Under 14 - Sedbergh, home. Lost 1-0. The game at home was even, but the Sedbergh team emerged victorious. Our boys did not develop a drive until the second period. In this period good soccer was played on both sides and the game was an exciting one to watch. .41mI,vsis. On the whole the season was encouraging because of the large number of boys who played against outside competition, gaining experience for the future. For the most part of the season we were on the defensive against the challenging team and usually did not have the extra spurt to pull ahead. XYe can look forward to gladder tidings next Vear.

Our spirit was high, but St. Georges scored three goals in a row and we fell apart. The boys could not click on many of the passing plays. Our goal was scored by Dollin in the last minute. Under 13 - St. George's, home. Lost 4-2. Even though we scored first and gave a much better account of ourselves than in our first game, St. George's had the superior team and came out victorious. Our goals came from the sticks of Davis and Blaumann. Under 13 - Selwyn llouse, away. Lost 9-2. Our opponents scored four quick goals in the first period, skating right through our defenders, but we came back to score our two goals in the second period. Selwyn House scored twice in the third period when we had men in the penalty box. Blaumann and Davis were our point getters again. Under I3 - Selwyn llouse, home. Lost 8-1. ln this game we tried harder it seemed, but were not able to check their advance. .-Xt the end of the first period the score was 5-1. The game was close in the last two periods, but we were definitely outplayed throughout the game. Our scorer was XViSeman. THE ASHBURIAN 105 Under 1-I' - Sedbergh, away. Hon 4-3. This was the first game for the Under l-Vers, and was close and exciting. Mr. Morgan said we were not trying hard enough and should have wtin by a higher score. Kennedy scored two of our goals, Davis and Wise- man made the other points. Under 14 - Sedbergh, home. XYon 6-2. XVC played the game at the Auditorium, and Sedbergh was unused to the larger ice surface. Kennedy, Palmer and XYiseman accounted for our goals, Kennedy getting a hat trick . Under 1+ - Lower Canada College, home. Lost 3-0. This was a very exciting game and we kept the puck in their end for much of the game. XYe held L.C.C. very well . said Xlr. Morgan. However they scored two goals in rapid succession, and in the final period put one more into the net. The League. The final standing was as follows: l.

Alexander 4 - Connaught 0 Alexander scored all of their goals in the first period, but Connaught came back strongly to contain the strong attack for the balance of the game. By beating Connaught, Alexander won the championship. A71 intra-vlzzmtl gmne. One of the highlights of the hockey season was the game between Form ll and Form I. Form II had 20 boys to choose from and had two or three years edge over Form I. The final score of 2-1 for Form Il must be considered a moral victory for their opponents. The winners were captained by Tanton, while the Form l team to take the ice was composed of Crusher Cuthbertson Cheerful Chicken Crafty Craston Xlurdering XlcCurdy King Koressis Battling Boyd Dubious Dubash Tiger Emms UNDER 14 CRICKICT TEAM-196+-1965 Bark Row: j.

The BCS team was definitely better and we lost by an innings. The final score, counting the second innings was BCS - 101, Ashbury - 42. Blaumann was our best batter. Nlacfarlane was the Captain. Under 14 - Sedbergh. This was a most exciting series as we lost the first game by only one run, then came back to Win the second game by the same one run margin. In the Hrst game Deutsch, with 18 runs and 6 Wickets was the out- standing player. The second game was saved for us by Day who took 9 wickets. Under 12 - Sedbergh. This is the first time in the School's history that such a young team has been fielded in cricket. I have no doubt that our win was as exciting for our young cricketers as was any Win which our Teams in the Senior School may have had. Trites, Murray, Pryde and Stewart were the batting heroes. As bowlers, Vennor-Morris Cwho captained the sidej Grant-IVhyte and Mangifesta were most effective. XVe have excellent cricket material at this level. House Games. Alexander won the bye. VVoollcombe defeated Con- naught, and in the final game. Alexander took the championship in a close match. TRACK Connaught Ilousc won the .Iunior Track Nleet. In the Senior Class Rincon I with victories in the 100, the Cricket Ball Throw, the Shot Put and the Long jump was the champion.

Xlvstified, I went back to classes. Finally after what seemed davs, fm'.,'C1.,Ci. came. I rushed into Room 9, and soon the room was packed with boarders. Deutsch had just begun to speak. As you known, he said, tomorrow is Fangs' last day on dutv and he is out to get us. ' He outlined a plan. XYhen Wednesday came, we sprang out of bed at the rising bell, cleaned our rooms so carefully that every one passed the rigid inspec- tion, and lined up in silence waiting for the breakfast bell. The day went Well. XYe were quiet in supper and arrived in prep well before time. There was not a sound during prep. We were lined up for showers almost before Fangs got up the stairs. After showers all was quiet in the wing. We had had a strenuous but most delightful day, and victory was ours at last. Bakxiis l, Trans A THE CAR ACCIDENT The city lights shone dimly in the distance. The glow almost looked like Northern Qights. joe was an insurance salesman and was out to make a dollar in the big city. Hithout thinking he pressed the gas pedal harder and the big Cadillac roared ahead. He was going seventy-five miles an hour when he saw the flashing blue light of the snowplow. Stupid thing , he said. The light seemed to say caution. He Hoored the gas pedal and hit the curve going about eighty-five. Suddenly he saw two bright yellow lights come out of the dark, speeding towards him. He tried to swerve towards the edge of the road. He could not make it. The Hashing blue light came at him. The other lights of a big thirty ton transport came at him also. He swerved. The lights blinded him. He couldn't see. The blue light screamed at him caution, caution, caution. His car crashed into the plow. He heard a yell, then the door beside him leaped at him and then all went black. The next thing he was aware of was someone looking at him and orange lights flashing. Then he fell asleep again. Or rather he fell into unconsciousness again. Finally he awoke. His body wracked with pain. He was in a white room and a face was looking at him. You're lucky you have only a fractured skull and broken leg. Maybe you had better buy some insurance yourself. G.Rormw11.i., lIlA l 120 THE ASHBURIAN A HELPING HAND One day when we were at the XVinter Fair my father's name was called over the loud speaker. He was told to go to the telephone for an emergency call. Our cat had been hurt in an accident and was at the Humane Society Shelter. Christopher, our cat, had the bad habit of sleeping under cars. On this particular day he was sleeping under a car, and when the car started up the cat had somehow been run over. The lower part of his leg was broken. Because we were not home, our neighbour called the Humane Society. The Society sent out a truck to pick up the cat. Vlfhen we got to the shelter, Christopher was in a box with a soft cloth around him. He lay there very still and looked as if he was paralyzed. lVe were very very unhappy to see our cat hurt. After looking at him my father said, He will have to be killedf, But I was glad to hear that the veterinary surgeon said he didn't need to be killed. He said that the cat could walk again. The surgeon also said if we waited the cat would be able to come home with us. Vlihile we were at the shelter we looked at the different animals. There were cats, dogs, canaries and wild animals which were being looked after by the Society. VVhen We saw Christopher again he was asleep. They told us that we should put a few drops of medicine in his food and he shouldn't be outside. Our cat slept most of the time while he had a splint on. Then the time came when Christopher was nearly healed. My mother took his splints off a week later. From then on Christopher never went under a car. D. HATCH, IIIB NVHEN I CLIMBED MOUNT EVEREST It was a cold and misty day when we camped below Mount Everest. M r. Sworze and I were about to venture up the east side of the mountain. Rochester, our slave, was to stay behind to keep camp. Mr. Hope had quit the expedition at the last minute as he was too scared. Now it was early in the dawn of the morning, and we decided to start. l was to lead Mr. Sworze. .-Xt the halfway mark, after an uneventful climb, I noticed a Cana- dian satellite in the sky. It approached us at full speed and crashed into THE ASHBURIAN IZ! the mountain top. Mr. Sworze was on a ledge below me, and the ledge broke off from the mountain. Xlr. Sworze had a terrible fall. I looked down and saw Rochester screaming below. Nlr. Sworxe was a luckv man, though, and he landed on our tent. The tent was demolished. but he was unhurt. He started to climb again as the second night ap'- proached. I waited on a ledge for his return. Late that night a light could be seen crossing the sky. 'lhen it suddenly disappeared and I guessed that it had landed on the mountain. The next afternoon Sworze reached me and we began to climb together again. Suddenly we saw giant ants crawling all over the place. We were very frightened and ran away. Two days later as we turned a corner we came upon a ship. The giant ants were crawling out of it and we guessed that it had come from Nlars. The creatures had high intelligence and we were able to communi- cate with them. They told us that they had originally come from Ifarth, many years before. just recently their planet had exploded and the explosion had changed their shape into ants. They had to leave and so decided to return to their old home to see what changes had occurred in the last 30,000 years. Sworze and I were terrihed but we did not run this time. They kept telling us more facts, and we became interested, very much. They told us that they had followed our satellite to Earth, and appeared very happy to be back in their mother world. It appeared that gases were forming around their own planet and they were dying because of poisons in these gases. The survivors had returned to earth to live and were hoping to be accepted on Earth. They had taken medicines which would change them back into human form within five years. XYe said we would help them if they waited for us to finish our adventure. VVe started climbing and about a hundred feet up we came across the Canadian satellite. The next day we reached the top and found a stranded mule with a tag saying GOSSES. VVe then pitched camp for that night on the mountain top and the next day started down. After talking to the leader of the ants, they all joined us on our downward trek. Rochester, who was worried, had started up, and we II'1Ct him soon after. XVe reached the bottom without trouble and the interesting adven- ture was finished. VVC said we would explain about the ants to every- body in the world and the leader was happy. I. NIERKLEY, IIIJX - 122 THE ASHBURIAN LATE FOR CLASS As I walk up the fourteen steps, How brave I have to be, For behind that door I know what waits. You're late! yells Polk to me. This was an unexpected shock F or unsuspecting me. My mouth was dry, I couIdn't talk, But stood there foolishly. The rest of class was now at work. Sheer terror filled me through. You blundering, idiotic jerk just wait till I'm through with you! You're late for class! he said through his teeth. The froth was forming now. I lis face was red as red, and sweat XYas forming on his brow. I don't know why he was upset, Cllis blood pressure getting highj, For I was the one the strap, to get, As I thought of it with a sigh. But after all his rant and rage, And ceremonial dance, He let me clean, right off the hook, And never touched my pants. GRAHAAI, Trans A MY TRIP TO THIC VIRGIN ISLANDS XYhen I went on my trip to the Virgin Islands I first of all went to the beach of Magens Bay. It is said that it is one of the ten most beauti- ful beaches in the world. There are lots of large beaches like this one, so it did not seem strange to me. Une of the things I liked best was the rramway that went to the top of a high hill where there was a telescope and you could see the bay with ease. Wie also went on boat rides, but the boat I liked best was the glass bottom boat, because it was fun to see underwater life and ship wrecks and reefs. Wie also XVCHY on a big Czlfzl- maran that went quite far out and I got pretty seasick because it rocked so much. And so my trip ended. L. MCCURDY, I THE ASHBURIAN I, KINDNESS AND MERCY TO ANIMALS It was the middle of the afternoon, and things seemed quiet and peaceful at the Humane Society headquarters here in Ottawa. I was a Humane Society officer on duty at the time. The peace was broken suddenly by the shrill ring of the telephone. I went over to answer the call. As far as I could make out from the very excited voice, a beaver was lying hurt on the road, somewhere in Gatineau Park. The voice tried to explain the exact location and after a minute or two, I was able to pin point the spot. I hurriedly put down the receiver, got my coat and medical kit and drove off with a fellow oflicer in the van. In a short while we got to the location, to find a small group clustered around the injured beaver. XVe quickly got out of the van and carefully investigated the condition of the little brown animal. It had obviously been hit by a passing motorist, when it was trying to cross the road. Wie did all we could to make it feel better. Then we lifted it gently into the van, wrapping it first in a warm blanket. IYe left assuring the party who had reported the accident, that we would do all we could to save its life. We started back to headquarters driving slowly and on our arrival, lifted the little bundle carefully and took it into the surgery. The veterinarian was there to receive his patient. He examined the condition of the beaver, which then stirred a little. There was still hope the animal would live. It was kept in a warm temperature and the medi- cal report was that there were no bones broken, but it was just knocked unconscious. For a day or two, just to make sure it was all right, it was kept in the shelter and looked after. VVC then took it back to where it was found hurt and allowed it to go free. It scurried away and seemed to know its familiar surroundings. As the party who had reported the accident was very anxious to know how the beaver was progressing, we telephoned and told him that we had let the beaver go. It was just another episode in the Humane Society's work which is to show kindness and mercy to any living creature in distress. D. C. XYENNOR-NIORRIS, IIIA DUBASHES AHOY VVe made it to the ship with seven minutes to spare, but in less time than that the entire crew knew that we were aboard. One of my sisters found a hawser hole and tried to disembark through it. The other locked herself in a bathroom with no porthole and had to be rescued by the ship's carpenter. I shouted down a speaking tube to the engineers. It wasn,t a very long trip but we did enough in it. D. DL'B.xsH, I ,H THE ASHBURIAN THE POOR DOG One day on Bank Street, a little dog got hit by a car. The dog crawled to the side of the road and lay down. There he lay till a truck from the Humane Society came. They took him to a building. Then they brought him into a room where a friendly looking man Was. This man stuck a sharp thing into him. That was all he felt, till he woke up. XYhen he woke up his leg was very stiff. He saw some water and some food in front of him. He tried to reach it but he could not. Then a young lady opened the cage door, and gave him the food. She shut the door, and left. He stayed there for a few days. Every day people came. One day a nice lady came. She seemed to like him. Three days later he saw the nice looking man talking to the lady. Then she walked up to him. She put a chain on him, and took him away. Later on he found that the name of the place was called the Humane Society. 'LI am very thankful for what they did for me.', R. STEWART, II MY DISCOVERY One day I was experimenting at home with my chemistry set. My laboratory is in a little room, in the basement and is rather crowded, with my chemicals in bottles on shelves. All of a sudden there was a loud crash behind me. To my horror a shelf had collapsed and my chemical bottles were in a smashed heap on the floor, which was running with a many-coloured liquid. My shoes became quickly soaked with it. I mopped up the mess and went out into the garden to get away from the smell. Suddenly I began to feel weightless and found myself rising. The earth dropped away from me and appeared to be rapidly shrinking. As I shot up, I realized I had stumbled on the long sought anti- gravity formula. Evidently I had made a wonderful scientific discovery. liventually, I slowed down. then stopped, then began to hurtle back to earth with the speed of a meteorite. My shoes had dried and the formula no longer worked. Ifaster and faster I fell. My house grew from a spot, I recognized Acacia .-Xvenue. A second before the last sickening thud, I woke up!!! D.
