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.

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.
