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
