THE ASHBURIAA 9 EDITQRIAL As we write these few lines, it is deep winter, not the sunny month of May. 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.
