Headmaster 1950-1966 fPm'rr.1ir by Robert H j'l1d1l14JllJ THE ASHBURIAN v MR. R. H. PERRY, M.A. lllCAD.XlASTl .R, 1950-1966 A TRIBLVIT. Ronald ll. Perry came to Ashbury on a hot summer day in .Iune 1950, and began his tenure of olhce at that time. l le had been working at the University of Toronto prior to arriving here, and had had a period of service in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and at Pickering College. During the past sixteen years he has accomplished much for Ashbury College. Argyle has been built, two new Staff llouses have been built, one laboratory has been renovated, and another laboratory with new locker rooms has been constructed. Xlr. Perry has been interested not only in the internal fabric of the school, but has beautiiied the grounds with many trees and Hower beds. The School enrolment has increased by about one hundred students. The New Boy Register shows that one thousand, four hundred and thirty-six boys have been enrolled at Ashbury College during the sixteen years. Uut of this group, one hundred and forty-three have already graduated from University, one hundred and two are now in University, four hundred and fifty-four have graduated from the top two forms of the School - Grades 12 and 13, and of course two hundred and seventy-five are still here in the School. But all of the above are cold figures. What about the man? Here has been a Headmaster of many talents. He has been an able administra- tor who has not been reticent about delegating responsibilities. He has been a Headmaster who has always been interested in all his students. His philosophy has been one of kindliness, persistence, and service to others. He has consistently tried to understand the modern young man. This philosophy has also been carried over to the Staff. He has always been interested and helpful to all who have worked for him. He has left us all with happy memories. His final address in Chapel- Faith and Prayer - he has always had faith in the innate good- ness of people, and rarely has he been let down. He has believed in sensible rules and regulations, a great supporter of all the School Sports. and punctilious in school attendance. He has rarely thought of himself at all. To be a Headmaster, one IULISI nearly be a Nlaster of all trades. This he has fulfilled to a high degree. Yet withal, here is a humble man. a lover of nature, a great supporter of Canada. XYhat else could one say? -in all -a gentleman in the highest sense of the word, a man of courage, faith and wisdom. Ashbury College will miss him. His good works will live on in the hearts and minds of many students and staff, as well as Parents. His life is gentle. and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, This was a mann. 5 THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIALS The inevitability of change is apparent to everyone so it comes as no great surprise to some, that many changes are taking place at Ashbury before the next School Year. This year the changes have been perhaps a little more far-reaching than ordinarily, but we are hopeful that they will prove to be benehcial and keep Ashbury on the move. The departure of a Headmaster and those who have served their School for an extensive period unquestionably triggers off a series of changes. Things will never be quite the samev, they say. This of course is true, but the desire to get away from the sameness and the expectation that everytding will be better is the argument for the change. May it be so! To all those associated with Ashbury during the past 16 years- Students, Staff, Old Boys, Parents, Friends and Governors may I say that the past 16 years, even though there have been lesser moments, have been generally happy and exciting. This has been an experience that I shall always treasure. Thank you for your many kindnesses and friend- ship. R.H.P. THE ASHBURIAN We have come to the end of an era, an era spent under the watchful eye of Alr. Perry, the headmastcr of Ashbury College. l lc was thc guide and inspiration in the religious, educational and athletic phases uf a schoolboy's life at Ashbury. As we, looking at thc cadet corps motto - Acer Acerporin - realize. that it was indeed Nlr. Perry who carried out its full meaning. Acer acerpori can be translated as - as the twig bends so grows the tree. l le used his green thumb talent to cultivate in the boys an appreciation of honesty and truth, and endeavoured to make them correct and upstanding gentlemen that would be exponents of honour, courage and grace. Mr. Perry is a man whose background is deeply rooted in the arts and humanities. XYhen he first came to the school, sixteen years ago, the arts and humanities were of predominant importance in education. Since then however, science and technology have been accentuated, and Nlr. Perry has greatly helped the school to progress and expand in these fields. At the same time a student at Ashbury is given a solid grounding in the arts, an important essential even in science. We IHUSI also take note of the great steps that Alr. Perry has taken to make the school an enjoyable place in which to live and learn. During his long association with Ashbury, the physics and chemistry laboratories have been built and constantly renovated to provide the student with the equipment to learn about the world he lives in. Nlr. Perry has con- scientiously laboured to instill the school with the spirit of a community where boys work and live together. He has taught the students of Ashbury the qualities of altruism and self-discipline. He has trained them to face the Brave New XVorld. However there is in the lives of all great men, a point of time when the torch is handed to others, when a man may simply say: I have given of my best and it is now the turn of another generation to assume my burden . Such a moment is a moment of great honour, a moment of infinite sadness and a moment for profound gratitude. Such a moment was met by Thomas ei Becker with a display of fortitude that has illu- minated history, although his Constitutions of Clarendon were no more significant to his purpose than were Alr. Perry's hierarchical difficulties to his. We honour Mr. Perry for the courage and conviction with which he pursued his course, we mix our sadness with his in human acknowledgement of a deep personal relationship, and we offer him our abiding gratitude for his deep understanding and unfailing compassion for the problems of a schoolboy. 5' THE ASHBURIAN The heartbeat of a Boarding School is a delicate function which cannot be understood by those who are not intimately familiar with the daily routine, the unexpected problems, the Worries of the students, the contacts with parents and visitors. A School cannot be properly directed from outside by those whose information arises from second-hand in- formation. There must be a sympathetic understanding of every aspect of School life, seen through eyes which have an intelligent appreciation of how a boy thinks and acts, and by those who are interested in how they study, worship and play their games. Adults cannot make a boy think and act like an adult before the boy has been guided and lived through the boy stage. All of us, who have spent many of the best years of our lives at Ash- bury earnestly hope that the future policy of those who offer direction from outside will be one of understanding, sound judgment and an appreciation of the infinite number of problems that arise in the daily life of the School.

The meetings have taken place in the Physics Laboratory on Friday evenings. During the year, we have had with us: Nlr. Victor Rivers, an Old Boy, graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, who spoke on Current Aeronautical Research, Dr. john Anderson, Professor of Biology at Carleton University, who spoke on Biology-Scmmething for Everyone , Dr. David Baird, Professor of Geology at the University of Ottawa, who spoke on Mountains - and Careers in Geology , Dr. YV. H. Bowes, Professor of Engineering at Carleton. For this meeting we met at Carleton University at the IBM Computor, Dr. Keith Laidler, Head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ottawa who spoke on Catalysis - Careers in Chemistry , Mr. F. R. Thurston, Head of Aeronautical Research at the National Research Council, who gave a talk on Aeronautical Research. All of the above talks were illustrated with experiments, slides or movies. They all proved to be most stimulating. VVe have also had our Annual Tours to the National Research Council, and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited at Chaik River. At the National Research Council we visited the Divisions of Ap- plied Physics - Acoustics and Electricity, Division of Mechanical Engi- neering - Engine and Engineering Laboratories, Building and Fire Research, and Aeronautical Research, including the XVind Tunnel. Our thanks here go once more to Dr. john Kohr who made all the detailed arrangements. We journeyed to Chalk River on Wednesday, May 1 lth. Here we were addressed by Dr. David Keys. This in itself, was an inspiration for all who attended. XVe also saw the Model Room, and paid visits to the NRX and NRU Reactors, a Zed Reactor and a Pool Reactor. During the year, we have had an array of Science Movies from the Ifell Telephone Company and Canadian IndustriesLimited. llere, l should like to pay tribute to the many men in Canadian Research and lndustry who have so ably assisted to make the various branches of Science a stimulating experience for the Ashbury College students for so many years.

Rowax-Liioo has faithfully attended Ash- bury' Students with aches and pains. and been a master of diagnosis. We have survived the usual rash of Childrens diseases and a number of more complicated ailments. XYhen it has come to broken bones our surgeon Dk. C. B. Piimlii has iitted them back into the right places and done a iirst class job. Dr. Rowan-Legg can probably lay claim to the distinction of sticking more needles into young land oldb people than most doctors. Last year alone he rammed home 17,000 needles into willing or unwilling Ottawa students.

Business Meetings were relieved by the customary refreshing pauses, and some witticisims. The principal Guest Speaker was Dr. Harold G. Young, Assistant Director General, Department of Education, Quebec. A visit to Bishops' University wliere Dr. C. L. O. Glass acted as host was a most happy event and all were somewhat awed by the splendid facilities and appointments which were observed during a conducted tour. It was decided to hold the next Annual Meeting at Shawnigan Lake, B.C. in the Spring of 1967, where the incoming President Mr. E. R.

AULT CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN I don't like it, said Maurice again. I would feel stupid in Us outfitf, Shut up, and put it on, Daniel told him, and so, of course, Mau ?e put it on. Daniel was half his size but he was the brains of the plr' IVhatever Daniel told him to do, he did. Now see, doesn't that look good? You even have a whistle. Ya, it doesn't look that bad after all,', replied Maurice. llc looked in the mirror and admired the perfect fit of the polff 1nan's uniform. He pushed his mighty chest out and threw back Us shoulders. I lis eyes almost looked intelligent under the cap. Now listen, barked Daniel. All you have to do is walk up md down the street and look like a real cop on his beat. Then if pefple walk by and hear noises from inside the house, they won't get suspic seeing you. Do you think you can do that? OHS lYhy sure, Danielf' Then what are you waiting for? Get going. THEASHBURIAN 31 At first Klaurice was a little nervous walking up and down the street, but nothing happened. Daniel had picked a rich house to rob and since the owners were away he planned to make a big haul. Klaurice had done a little shoplifting and purse snatching on the other side of Paris, but this was his first big job. He slowly walked down the street and l1ad started back up it when he saw a police lieutenant round the corner. l le stared in horror. Ile thought that the lieutenant, approaching, was gazing at him curiously. His body stiffened and sweat started to form on tI1e palms of his hands. lt was only with a great effort that he restrained himself from dashing madly around the corner. With tl1e lieutenant only a few feet away he forced a smile and saluted. The lieutenant casually returned the salute and walked on by. Maurice stood looking after him. Say, he said to himself, You see that? l saluted him and he saluted me right back. That's pretty fine. The pleasure Maurice felt was extraordinary. He threw back his shoulders straighter than ever and, erect and proud, continued to walk up and down the street. At the corner he paused and rocked on his heels a moment, as all policemen do. I guess I looked good to him, he told himself. I guess he don't see many cops looking so good. After a few more trips, he saw an old lady hesitating on the corner. After one or two false starts to cross, she nervously came back. Maurice didn't even notice the plump purse in her hand. He walked over to her, saluted, and offered his arm. Oh, thank you, officer, she said. There were no cars in sight but llaurice held up his other arm majestically, as if stopping all the traffic in Paris. With great dignity they crossed. Thank you so much, officer she said. Pleased madamf' replied Nlaurice, in as deep a voice as he could manage. That's what we're here for, you know. he added. Gallantly he saluted her again and returned to the other side of the street. Maurice stood so straight that the clothes strained across his chest. He saluted once more just for the practice. An emotion was stirring within him, nowhere else in Paris was there a more perfect example of a gendarme. As he walked down the street, a figure came towards IIIIII out of the shadows. It was a drunk man waving his arms and shuffling his feet. He staggered up to Nlaurice and then started to mutter some unintelligible phrases. You, he cried, pointing to Nlaurice. Then he muttered. Lousy cop. A shock ran through Maurice. Here, heren he said. Get along, get along. I l l l ,v THE ASI-IBURIAN Big stupid. cowardly cop, the drunk yelled. Big bag of wind in a uniform. Beat up the little fellow and let the big crooks get away. Thass all you're good for - beat up little fellows an' . . . An emotion of rage and anger grew within Maurice. He could feel time rage in his face. I spit on you, cried the drunk. Bah, There and he spat on Maurice. Something broke loose inside Maurice and his face turned white with rage. He seized the man with one of his mighty hands and shook him ferociously, without any idea as to what he was going to do with him afterwards. He dragged him down the street. The drunk was over- awed and stunned, and now was quiet. TVhen Maurice got about half- wav down the street Daniel came up behind him and ordered him to put the' drunk down. Maurice was in no mood to stop. You blundering idiot, cried Daniel. XYhat are you trying to do? Bring all the gendarmes in Paris here? You want to ruin the whole job? And then he struck Nlaurice across the face. Mixed emotions swirled in lVIaurice's head. He remembered the lieutenant's salute, the old ladys' look of admiration and praise, the uni- form he was wearing, and what the drunk had said. His anger turned into a hurricane, and while Daniel, paralyzed by horror, stood there, Maurice took the whistle and blew it loud and long. linough to bring every police in Paris running. Crook, robber, he bellowed. I arrest you. I arrest you in the name of the lawf, G. S'rEvr3Ns RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! It was the first time Bill had ventured outside the dark cave that had been his life's abode. Both his parents had left to get food a long time before, never to return. He was half-starved. By instinct he knew that the means to halt the pangs of hunger that had been ripping through him were outside. He stepped cautiously through the entrance. lt was bright! His eyes, unaccustomed to anything but the grey- black darkness of his home, were smarting with the flood of light. A strange but enticing odour made his nostrils flare and his mouth water uncontrollahly. The scent was coming through a gigantic break in what would have been an unending perpendicular wall. I lc hurried through it. Smells of overwhelming richness rushed at hun from all over. Never before had he even dreamed that such things could exist. llc stood there for what might have been hours or onlv seconds. THE ASHBURI.-IX up Something moved behind him. Before he could turn a terrific blow to his side sent him flying through the air. He crashed into a steel pole. He got up and started to run but his leg was injured and he had to hobble. Then, from nowhere, two great, green eyes were in his path. glaring through him and a seemingly sinister grin was fixed on the monster's face. XYith a Hash a giant claw raked his back and he went sprawling in the direction he had just come. Blood poured from the deep wound. He could hardly move now. but the cave was in sight. The ground around him shook as the monster leaped after him. For a split second he felt its hot breath on his back, and then another huge gash appeared along his side and he smashed into a thick wooden projection. The pain was unbearable but he was up and moving again. It was there all the time. just keeping a few paces behind. A little bit further and he would be safe. Then he noticed that the ground was no longer shaking. He looked back over his shoulder. His eyes were attracted by something moving above him. He looked up to see a gigantic mass of black dropping through the air.. It hit him, and then he became senseless. XYith a deep feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction the cat carried the dead mouse out of the room. RICK CHEESEAIAN IN DEFENCE OF LAZINESS l'm lazy! It's part of my nature and I make no excuses for it. To be perfectly honest I feel rather proud. Anybody who can find time to be lazy in this supersonic jet age of ours should feel that he has accom- plished a great feat, and indeed he has. Today everything is rush, rush, rush. Planes will soon fly the Atlantic in four hours. lt is little wonder that the pleasant, uniiustered. unconfused, unhurried lazy person of ten years ago will soon be extinct. A lazy person takes things as they come, with calm assurance and coolness. By spending a long time on one thing he is assured of perfec- tion in everything he does. The ordinary white-collared worker of today, however, is always confused and always in a rush to get things done, thus assuring himself of making hundreds of tiny errors a lazy person would never make or ever dream of making. YYith his feet up on his desk and his eyes closed, a lazy man can really concentrate and do some honest thinking. l know l can. l am quite sure that many people would dispute the fact that l was thinking and would say l was actually sleeping, but of course that is complete non- sense. People that say such things have absolutely no idea how hard l l l l 34 THE AsHBUR1AN lazv people work while they relax! If, on occasion, someone Hnds me snoring violently while thinking, it fthe noise? is merely to keep me awake so that l can put in as much work as possible in the time allowed. Of course any oiiice-workers finding me with my feet up and snoring loudly, shouldn't tell their manager, for I am a modest soul and do not seek -any special privileges even though I do think much more than anyone else in the building. The ordinary office-worker, not being lazy and therefore not being able to relax while working, is either bored, confused, or overworked, or all three and, thus, can't wait to get home for dinner. Since his mind is on dinner and not on his work, he doesn't concentrate and Hvoilaw, mistakes galore appear all through his work. The lazy man, however, being relaxed and happy at all times couldn't care less what he does, whether it is to eat dinner or to work at the oflice, so he can concentrate and produce first-rate work, even if it is a little late being finished. But although many people disagree with me, I'm quite sure it's correct work and not quick work which really counts in the long run. Possibly this will change over the course of one or two decades when machines will take over and do our correcting for us. CLet's hope it comes soon! J Lazy people always enjoy life so much more than ordinary people because they're never hurried and always have plenty of time to do and see things. Lazy people are always very good-natured because they get plenty of rest Cwhile they work of coursej, therefore, people like them and are attracted by them. As you can see lazy people lead an enjoyable life and were it not for us happy, hard-working relaxers, this world would be a grouchv place to live in. People will disagree with me. They alwavs do! XI. D. XYENNBERG THE PROMOTION The road ahead dipped sharply and his headlights illuminated a mile of mist hanging somnambulantly over the twisting grey ribbon of road- way. The dropping sensation was a pleasant relief after miles of immo- bile tarmac and he was aware of the stagnancy of thought which usually anticipated a long sleep slowly clouding his mind. The headlight beams skimmed the brink of a hill and presented grotesque images in the tree- tops. Then his path lay straight and invariant. The dinner party, an hour before, had been moribund. His host had held him in suspense for the entire meal, prattling boringlv, and advertising his abundant wealth with such crudity as to produce absolute nausea. But he had had his reward. and as if in payment for his svco- phaney, his host had announced the promotion. I I THE ASHBURIAN 39 He tried to shake olf his growing fatigue in order to feel the true impact of his happiness, but as he pulled the car into a wide turn, his muscles begged release from the constant effort. Out of the mist came a lonely undulating tone announcing the passage of a train through the night. He and the train seemed the only assailants of the quiet of the night. After wishing his host an unfelt good-night, he had pondered the implications of his new role, of the new possessions he might acquire, of the new experiences that would finally be within his grasp and of the security of future, that inestimable quality, with which he would now be able to present his fiancee. During this reverie he felt himself at the summit of his career. From an island of mist, the level crossing sprang to meet him. The car was momentarily drowned in noise and brilliant light. The train pushed the remaining pieces of automobile eight hundred yards down the track before it could stop. P.R.T. FOREIGN LANDSCAPE The surface was soft and furrowed but gave evidence of some soli- dity below. It was a pallid yellow colour though subtle inferences of pink appeared between the trunks of tall cartilagious structure extending upward, twisting around and around and forming a thick net above. Here and there the strands had intertwined so completely that it was diflicult to follow any one section for even a short distance. It was at one of these entanglements that two or three smooth posts struggled convulsively to free themselves from a particularly overgrown part of the knotted vines. Drawing back they rush up once more, onlv to be stopped by the impenetrable mass. Again and again it tries, but the more she pulled on the comb, the more thickly the strands became locked. T.D.S. 36 THE AsHBUR1AN CEREMONIAL INSPECTION In absolutely unseasonable weather, the No. 137 Ashbury College Cadet Corps marched onto the parade field to the stirring music of the RCAF Central Band. In front of the school, the Guard of Honour in their brilliant red tunics and highly polished buttons awaited the arrival of the inspecting officer. Two stalwart sentries guarded the portals of Ashbury College. At 2.30 p.m. the inspecting oflicer Air Vice-Marshal Frank XY. Ball and Mrs. Ball with the aide Flight Lieutenant Russell arrived and were met bv the Headmaster and Mrs. Perry. The Air Vice-Marshal first inspected the Guard of Honour and then moved onto the reviewing stand to take the salute from Cadet Major Currie. To the strains of music ren- dered bv the RCAF Central Band, Air Vice-Marshal Ball inspected the corps, platoon by platoon. The inspecting party which included Lt. Col. I. A. Hodson, O.C. of the Governor-General's Foot Guards, Captain McInnes and Cadet Wing Adjutant IYyand from R.M.C. had returned to the reviewing stand and the corps marched past in column of platoon, column of route and in review order. The iinal ceremonial action was the general salute. The corps marched off the reviewing Held and dispersed to the various demonstrations. The Hrst display by the Junior Corps Gym Squad showed basic skills in broad-box and mat work. The Band marching on with all their regalia and led by Drum Major Sergeant A. M. Nearby showed the result of hard work and tireless efforts. Two of the band members played a Hfe duet. The Honour Guard, under the command of Cadet Lieutenant A. G. C. Patton, displayed remarkable skill in precision drill, moving as one body through a series of intricate manoeuvres. The final demonstrations were by the map squad, directed by Lieutenant Fudakowski, which showed the use of grid references in plotting positions and the Senior Gym Team which proved that agility and skill in gymnastics is a necessary part of a young manis training. The corps reassembled in a hollow square. After an introduction by Mr. R. H. Perry, Air Vice-Marshal Ball spoke on the responsibilities of the Armed Forces toward world peace.

Though the 1966 executive was new and inexperienced, thanks to the wise counsel of long standing members and the willing assistance of many others, we scrambled through the year with surprising success. The Clothing Sale, early in September, was ably convened by Mrs. bl. li. Copeland. Outgrown blazers, jackets, windbrealcers, gym clothes, and many other items - clean and in good condition - sold very quickly. This Sale is a three-way benefit, for the original owner gets 8034, of the sale price, the buyer gets real bargains, and the Mothers' Guild nets 2021, on all sales - a profit of 3159.80 this year. Then followed the Old Boys Luncheon in November, convened by Mrs. K. F. Osmond. This was a pleasant gathering, and fairly profitable, bringing 558580, though we feel we can improve on it another year. The Spring Tea and Bake Sale, our biggest effort, was held on May 6th, and despite rain and occasional snow, exceeded all expectations. Mrs. Rick Perley, the convener, reports a proht of l5l,055.00, nearly 35300.00 more than the previous record profit. We are extremely grateful to the many generous supporters who made possible this result- to the firms who gave such desirable prizes for the raflie organized by Mrs. Robert Southam, to Mr. Perry for his exquisite African Violet plants, that were sold within minutes, to the donors of the delicious food for Mrs. SI. L. Orrls Bake Table, and to those who gave a bewildering array of XVhite Elephants and books to the tables arranged by Mrs. E. L. Deacon and Mrs. David Polk. These events enabled the Mothers' Guild to provide a new and sorely-needed movie projector for the School, a 552 50.00 Bursary, prizes for junior School French and Middle School English, and a prize for each boy in the Year's best kept room , 3400.00 has been set aside for choir robe replacements, and the remainder of our funds will be trans- ferred into the Mothers' Guild Building account to furnish a room in the new buildings. The Guild Executive looks forward to seeing old members next year, and is eager to welcome new mothers, we shall need active replace- ments for those very capable members who graduated, in june if we are to continue to provide Ashbury with much-needed extras and carry out our CUlllll1lflDCfif to the Choir. XYe plan a more extensive member- ship drive in the autumn, making a real effort to enroll new mothers and those who have, perhaps, been timid about attending our six meetings. ln closing l should like to thank the lleadmaster, Xlr. Perry. the Staff, the household sta ff, and our members for their unfailing encourage- ment and support. FRANCES G. SNIELLIE, President. THE ASHBURIAN -IS PORTS FOOTBALL The football season just completed must certainly rank among the most disappointing in the school's history. Only about 45 boys turned out for this sport so that it was impossible to field a second team and its schedule had to be scrapped. Most of the members of the first team were under 17 years of age, and while this should lead to a strong squad next year, it meant a very weak team this season. The final record was dismal: one win, one tie and nine defeats - a sad start for an all-new coaching staff headed by john Goldsmith. Ashbury competed in the Intermediate division of the Ottawa High School Football League, and, despite a fairly strong showing in a brief appearance in the Pigskin Parade at Lansdowne Park, the team suffered defeats in all six league games. In the first exhibition contest against a fired-up Selwyn House squad, Ashbury gained a tie but then lost to Stanstead, Northwood and Bishops However, both the Stanstead and Northwood games were real thrillers and only the timer prevented Ashbury from edging BCS. lst FOOTBALL Top R0-iz: L.

Only about 25 former Ashbury grid greats showed up for this one. and it is hoped more will show up next year to take back the Old Boys' Cup. The first team showed great improvement throughout the season and with most of its members expected back next year, Ashbury should soon regain its winning ways on the gridiron. lst SOCCER This year, with many of last year's first team members returning, a good season was anticipated. This was confirmed when, after less than a week of practice, Ashbury competed in a soccer series at Chateauguay and tied the Montreal city junior Champions. In Ottawa High School Soccer League competition, the Hrst team went undefeated until the final game of the regular reason in which Rideau emerged with a close 1-0 victory. This placed Ashbury second in the league, but the squad was surprised by Lisgar in the quarter-final playoff game, 2-1, in overtime. During the regular season, Ashbury had chalked up an easy 7-2 win over this same Lisgar squad. In exhibition contests, the team performed very well. Ashbury first tied and then defeated Northwood in their tW'0-gz1II1C series and also scored victories over Stanstead, the Staff and the Old Boys. Unfortu- 3,3 , vpn' .- .

THE ASHBURIAN 45 nately, the game with Bishop's had to be cancelled as BCS was blanketed with snow the week-end that contest had been scheduled. The schools only exhibition loss was inflicted by O.Y.C.C. All things considered, it was a most successful season, which could really only have been improved by a victory in the high school league championships. However, luck was not with the team this time, but perhaps Coach Ray Anderson will come up with a championship squad next year. 2nd SOCCER It is surprising that a school as small as Ashbury can produce two good soccer teams. Under the coaching of Tony Hancock, the second squad had a Fine season, winning four games, tieing one and losing one. Two other games had to be cancelled because of poor weather conditions. Most of the second team players had had little or no previous soccer experience. The first few weeks of the season were spent in condition- ing, developing skills and scrimmaging. Xlany basic rules had to be mastered. Eventually a team emerged which promptly lost its first game against Brookfield, 2-O. However, in their next encounter, Brookfield was tied 2-2. The second team then went on to swee its four remaining frames, P defeating Sedburgh 4-O and 4-1 on an overnight trip, blanking Siaiiistead 2nd SOCCER Standing: A. Hancock, J. Preston, P. Loftus, P.

The first was made up of bigger, more experienced players while the second was composed of boys under sixteen with less experience. Alanv mistakes were made, but this was only to be expected from such youiig players. Nevertheless, some good soccer was played. In the regular season, Saunders was the leading scorer with five goals, followed bv Stevens and Pilavachi I with four each. Church scored twice and Alillar, Loftus, Dyson, Nloulds, Preston and Farrugia got one each. In addition to the regular games, there were three scrimmages against the first team. Fortunately, nobody kept score. There was also an epic battle against the Soccer League All-Stars which the second team won 4-2. ln the final game, members of the Staff and second team joined forces in what turned out to be a futile attempt to upset the first team. This season, there was plenty of team spirit and effort. Next year, there is a chance that the second team will participate in a new league for players under sixteen. If so, it should undoubtedly do well. BASKETBALL The 1965-66 season was a short but busy one. At the start of the season we planned to have two teams which would have been ideal for improving basketball in our system. After two weeks this plan collapsed. Our single team comprised beginners, a few sophomores and two or three experienced players. These elements blended well as the record shows. First year men such as john Minogue OYinner of the Co- operative Snelgrove Trophyj, Edward Pelger and Charles Barnes will form the hub of next year's team. The team improved the shooting average from 2003 to 6535 in three games and the rebounds from 201 to 492. The season's II10St thrilling games were our victories over J.C.C. C36-353 and Ottawa U. Q39-375. Dave Mulaner was the key man win- ning both games with a one-and-one foul shot, ably supported by Tom Baldwin who dominated the backboards. Terry Marks performed well at the guard position.

In other regular exhibition games, Ashbury scored a breakaway goal in the last second to thwart a determined Stanstead squad 3-2, LCC held off a spirited comeback by the school to win 5-3, and Northwood took both ends of a rough-and-tumble two-game series 6-5 and 8-3. Though Ashbury did not exactly sparkle in the Ottawa I ligh School League, we did come up with several wins and ties in its 12-game sche- dule, and all these encounters were quite close. One of the highlights of the season was a week-end trip to Hamilton to play Hillheld. The long trip finally took its toll in the third period when our hosts scored three quick goals to sew up the contest -P-1. The team enjoyed this trip greatly, despite the setback, and we were most appreciative of the many special arrangements made on our behalf by Hillfield. The last clash of our 20-game season was the always-exciting battle with the Old Boys. Because of a Hu bug Cwhich had sidelined about two-thirds of the reguQar teamj and the tremendous turn-out of former Ashburians, many of the old veterans wound up playing for the schooQ, but this switch still wasn't enough to prevent the OB' from notching an 8-5 victory. This year's young team Qaverage age about 165 was never large Cusually no more than 10 players dressed for any one game? but its members always gave each game everything they had. XYith most of the squad expected back next year, we are looking for a much better record. plus, of course, a chance to prove our upset of BCS was no mere Huke. Capfailz: R. B.

Cross-country events proved to be our best although only one skier had previous experience. The first meet was at Sedbergh. VVe were soundly beaten in the cross-country event, but MacLaren and VValker placed second and fourth respectively in the giant slalom. This meet indicated the weaknesses of our members. In the Dalton XV ood meet at Camp Fortune O'Brien fell and VValker had to drop out after breaking his glasses. In the giant slalom O'Brien placed third which gave us a chance. In the cross-country We placed second, with Macloaren our best runner. Glen Cairns, our youngest member, Won the Junior C class night slalom in the Beamish Shield contest at Camp Fortune. Our last meet was at St. Sauveur - a tri-school event with Bishop's and L.C.C. In the slalom and giant slalom, MacLaren, Cairns and Collyer all had creditable times, but otherwise We were outclassed. In the cross-country, MacLaren again was our best runner. At the Sports Dinner, the prizes were awarded as follows: Most Valuable - L. O'Brien Coristine Trophy CCross-countryj - D.

TVALKER THE ASHBURIAN 49 SPRING SOCCER This year Ashbury had an organized intra-mural Spring Soccer League. There was an encouraging turn out and the best players were chosen to compete against Concordia in two exhibition games. The school team, reinforced by Messrs. Anderson. Hancock and Egan, lost the Hrst game 2-1 with Cooper scoring our lone goal. In the second game, Raymond. Patton and Cooper scored for the school in our 3-2 victory. Everyone agreed that the league was a success and served to develop some promising material for next year's teams. The players wish to thank Messrs. Anderson, Egan and Spencer who organized and operated the league. B.J.C. PRIZE LIST A. TRACK AND FIELD SPORTS 1. HIGH JUMP-THE READ TROPHY SENIOR: H.

Although reinforced by an Ashbury Old Boy. Bill Eastwood, we could not break through the Ridley attack and their captain was able to declare with the score at 110 for 6. XYhen Ashbury batted, we could not muster any concrete form of attack and were all out for -18. Although it was a cold, wet day the warmth of the reception at Ridley made up for any weather short-comings. Headmaster and Nlrs. Pilgrim, Terence Cronyn and other members of the staff were hospitality itself and everyone voted that the trip was most worthwhile. The Ashbury Team was accompanied by Alr. Hancock and Ted Nlarshall. Alf Perry, himself an Old Ridleian, with Xlr. Slbley were also interested spectators. After the game, we left immediately for home. The game and the return trip had taken 17 hours. Asbbzzry at Bisholffs In this game Bishops batted first and after the sudden loss of their opening batsman settled down to a steady game scoring 97 runs. XYhen Ashbury batted, there was no indication of the excitement to come. Southam and Cooper opened and continued for three hours. 52 THE ASHBURIAN In establishing a modern school record, Southam scored 72 not out, While Cooper was 20 not out. The total score was 100 for none, and the game was won by 10 wickets. XYhen the team came home, we knew that the return game at Ashbury would be tense and exciting. Bisboplv at Ashbury The day of this important match dawned sunny and Warm. Bishop's again batted Hrst, and against determined bowling could muster only 40 runs. This made Ashbury's task easier, and We reached that total in slightly over 15 hours. TVe won the game by 5 wickets, and for the first time in 13 years, Ashbury had Won the Hitchman Trophy, emblematic of the competition between B.C.S. and Ashbury. After the match, a short friendly game was played and enjoyed by all. XVe hope that this same spirit of friendship will prevail for all future matches between our schools. N vw.

A friendly match with Gloucester High School turned out very well for us. However, a trip to Bucking- ham proved disastrous and taught us a sound lesson in curling. XYe now realize that experience is the key to success. DI. KENNY I.S.D.R.A. ANNUAL REGATTA On September 18th and 19th, Ashbury competed in the Indepen- dent Schools Dinghy Racing Association's Annual Regatta. The races were sailed in light winds at Lakefield on Lake Katchawanooka. The Ashbury team, composed of lValker, Evans I and Nlaclsarcn I and under the supervision of Tony Egan, placed third behind Appleby and Trinity. Three races were held on the Saturday and four on the Sunday for a total of seven. The boats used were Nordberg 15 ft. dinghies. It was agreed by all concerned that the racing was of a higher standard than ever before and the school is looking forward to taking part in next year's competition. 5, THE ASHBURIAN f-X SPORTS DINNER The annual sports dinner was held at the school Friday, March 25, 1966.

Our sincerest sympathy is extended to those who have been bereaved. THE ASHBURIAN 63 THE CLOSING CEREMGNIES The closing ceremonies were held in the quadrangle on Saturday, June 11th. There had been some misgivings about the weather, but Old Sol smiled benevolently and sent the temperature into the eighties. Instead of the scream of jets, the squeal of a nearby bulldozer threatened to disturb the assembly. Fortunately, the operator of the machine agreed to take an extended coifee break. Commodore Ross, Chairman of the Board of Governors, opened the proceedings. He explained the changes in the building plans and ex- pressed his regret at seeing the departure of Klr. Perry and several other long-term members of the staff. He went on to say that all but one of the staff vacancies had been filled and that Mr. William joyce, the new Headmaster, would be coming to Canada in mid-August. At this point a bouquet from the School and a silver entree dish from the Chairman were presented to the Headmaster and Mrs. Perry. The Headmaster gave his report of the activities of the 1965-66 year. He praised the boys of Ashbury for their good work and school spirit. To emphasize this point, he introduced the prefects individually and complimented them on the Hne work they had done for the school. Richard B. Southam, Captain of the School, delivered the Valedictory. In his address, Mr. Perry stressed the need for greater understanding of the young people by the older generation. He mentioned the new responsibilities that young people must accept. He deplored the ten- dency of older people to think that the high spirits of youth will result in delinquency. At this point several of the senior students stepped to the platform to make presentations to the four masters whose combined service to the school exceeds eighty years. Among the platform guests who presented prizes and awards were His Excellency Aristide N. Pilavachi, Ambassador of Greece, Captain G. A. VVoollcombe, R.C.N., Group Captain R. IV. McNair, D.S.0., D.F.C. and Bars, C.D., Alex Edmison, Esq., B.A., Q.C., L. KI. Killaly, Esq., B.A., Mrs. Stuart Mackay-Smith, Harry Pullen, Esq.. B..-X., B.Paed., Ed.D. After the closing remarks by the Chairman everybody proceeded to the front of the school for refreshments and to say farewell to Xlr. and Mrs. Perry and other departing members of the staff. The Band of the Governor-General's Foot Guards provided music during this period. 6.

Australia 6.9 THE ASI-IBURIAN VALEDICTORY by RICHARD BRIAN SOUTHAINI Mr. Chairman, Your Excellencies, Honoured Guests, Mr. Perry, Members of the Staff and Fellow Students: This makes the fifth Closing that I have attended at Ashbury as a student, and, looking back, I would say that they were, and will remain, five of the most enjoyable years of my life. Ashbury is not only a school in the sense of receiving an education, it is more than that. It is a community in itself where boys from all over the country and, in fact, the world, are thrown together in close Contact for approximately nine months of the year. From this close proximity with others, comes a far more valuable aspect of education, understanding. Although not always evident, an understanding exists among all those who are con- nected with the school, masters and students alike. It,s hard to explain what shape this understanding takes except that it might be evident in the way that the boys respect, in varying degrees, the views of their fellow students. VVhen I said that my Hve years were the most enjoyable of my life I did not mean to imply that it was half a decade of fun and games. There were bad moments. Disappointments encountered on the football field and the hockey rink, almost complete and utter despair during a few of the exams, and even sheer panic experienced during my Latin class with a certain awesome figure who will remain unmentioned. But the bad must be taken with the good to make the good seem better. Such good things as victory on the games field, getting first class honours, and the utter joy of the final Latin class of the year make your disappoint- ments feel very small indeed. But you, and I'm addressing myself mainly to the students, may ask yourself what this eonglomeration of joys and sorrows is. VVhat good is it? Isn't there enough of it to be encountered after school is behind you? Yes there is, and that is why Ashbury gives it to you both in class and out, to prepare you for it, so that you will be able to meet it and take it in your stride. After you leave Ashbury and go on to pursue your particular vocation, you will meet several situations which seem different but are really the same type of situations that you have encountered here and, although they will probably be in larger doses, they can be handled in much the same way as you confronted them here. ln closing what must be one of the shortest valedictories ever, I would like to leave you with this quote of Theodore Roosevelt, a past 1-t.'fI'Z irec top winners-Rick Soiitlmiii. john Read :ind lien l..ixxsoii xiith the Headnmster.

For us of the graduating class, Ashbury has done all that it can and it is now up to us. Good luck! Now on behalf of the graduating class, I would like to present the School with a trophy expressing our appreciation for so many good years. The Gmdlmrilzg Class presented .1 New award called the Boarder Shield to be awarded .wlzrmlly ro the Best Room.-Ed. PRESENTATIONS R. H. PERRY My first official introduction to Ronald H. Perry was some years ago ata party at my house. My first impression was just another grown- up who happened to be the Headmaster of the School that my brother was attending and who also happened to have a rather generous amount of forehead. My next meeting, a few years later, was rather more prolonged as I was a fully-fledged junior Camper at Camp Kawabi, Mr. Perry's Camp in the Haliburton Highlands. My second impression was of a very nice grown-up who happened to be the Director of my Camp and -if I might add - who seemed to have even more forehead than the last time! lt was then my good fortune to be enrolled here at Ashbury where, as I have previously mentioned, I have remained for the last live years. During these Hve years I have grown to know Mr. Perry, not just as a Ileadmaster, but as a man who was deeply interested in the personal feelings of all his students. I don't think you will find many other Head- masters who will walk through the School and chat with students just because he himself is greatly concerned with the well-being of every one of them. This year, as Head Prefect, I have had an even closer contact with Ronald II. Perry and from my own personal experience, I can say that he is one of the finest men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I think I may speak for the whole School when I say that we are very proud to know you, sir, and that we all hope that some day you will be as proud to know us. As a small token of our admiration for you, I would like to present you with this gift. Thank you sir! R. B. Souruaxt THE ASHBURIAN ri A. D. BRAIN It has fallen to my lot to have the very great honour and the equally great privilege of speaking words of farewell to Nlr. A. IJ. Brain on behalf of students PQISI and present of Ashbury College. It is not easy to find exactly the right words to say to a ICQIC ier who has devoted so much of his professional life and so generously of his intel- lectual power to the future of young men. But by good fortune l find that precisely the right words have been provided by Xlr. Brain himself in his brilliant translation of a famous ode of Quintus IIoratius Flaccus - The passage runs as follows: I have achieved for myself a monument more perdurable than bronze and loftier than the royal pile of the pyramids, which neither the gnawing rain nor the impotent North wind could ever destroy. nor the countless succession of the years nor the Hight of time. I am sure that when Hr. Brain was confronted as he sometimes was, by particularly obtuse students or exceptional indolence he could always find consolation in the fact that however difficult it may have been for him to create these monuments they were perdrmiblc' and they have carried with them the love of classical scholarship that he gave them. Yet it is not only in classical scholarship that Mr. Brain has served our College so well. Perhaps it was from his intellectual awareness of the enormous signihcance of the Gymnasia of ancient Greece that he de- veloped his abiding interest in Athletics. His personal attention to our cricket, our football, our hockey and our track and field events. left as powerful an effect on our muscles as his classes left on our minds. His awareness. also. of the life and experience of Xlarcus Tullius Cicero, at the time of the second triumvirate must have induced a philo- sophic and Spartan-like tolerance of similar events in our own times. Since behind every great man stands a great lady thus in part this tribute is to Mrs. Brain. A tribute small in value but rich in the gratitude of three decades of Ashburians. I will not say good-bye to our friends. instead I will turn again to the Classics and use the well known salute of Catullus . Ave atque vale which in terms of Ashbury I translate: Thank you Uncle Buggy and Farewell. BRUCE Dmcox L. H. SIBLEY It is a great honour for me, a relatively new boy at Ashbury, to be able to make this presentation to a man who means a great deal to me. indeed to all Ashburians, but this honour is also a very great responsibility for how can one, in brief oration. do justice to fXYCI1ty-UYO years of 'f THE ASHBURIAN completely devoted service. How do you say thank-youu and good- bye to a man who has made Ashbury College his whole life. i There is not a suitable cognomen that is applicable to Mr. Sibley, for he is more than just an able teacher - only one of his pupils has failed in the last six years. He is more than just an able Administrator - although he spends an average of fourteen hours a day in his office. Mr. Sibley is a good friend, not to one, or to a chosen few, but to all students at Ash- bury College, regardless of the time, day or night. Mr. Sibley is always available with a cheerful Hello and a friendly smile. The nature of the problem posed no obstacle, a conquered love, a failed exam, Sib could be counted on for sound personal advice. What will the Room Captains do without Sib's room for toast and milk after prep? U'hat will the Senior Biologists do without their 1,000 pages of handwritten go-devils? In short, who or what will replace the smiling, benevolent, always cheerful Mr. Sibley? Now it is time to say thank-you, sir and goodbye. The Senior School would like Mr. Sibley to accept this desk, as a token of our high esteem, to what we owe, it is little, but it is the best way we know to say Thank-you Sir, Good-bye Sir, and May God Bless. A. IXULT A. H. N. SNELGROVE Mr. A. H. N. Snelgrove was born in Newfoundland in 1891. In 1912 he entered Mount Allison University where he spent four years in the science department. During this time doctors despaired of his life, but they were badly mistaken. Shortly after graduation he married and began his teaching career which has extended over fifty years, except for a period in American industry. His teaching assignments for almost thirty years were in the Toronto area, and in 1952 he came to Ashbury. In his first year, he introduced basketball to this school and coached the team. As a lover of music, he assisted in the chapel by playing the organ. Throughout his years at Ashbury, Mr. Snelgrove has always been known by the affectionate nick-name Sharpy . He probably never missed any schoolboy acts, whether good or bad. Nlr. Snelgrove is now seventy-four year old, but he remains young at heart. llc drives a sports convertible and wears a peaked cap to mateh. Looking back on his life, Mr. Snelgrove can honestly say that the PAST fourteen years have been the happiest of his life. Few men have eontribnted more to the life and work of the school. -I.

It is highly unlikely that any of the teachers will benefit from this: in forty or fifty years it is doubtful if they will care what they taught, to whom they taught it, or even who they are. But our little Ashburians - tomorrow's great Canadians - will surely want to recall the administration of the junior School in 1965-1966. STAFF Transitus A-Latin and French. IIIA-Latin and French.

We can divide the expected results of a year at Ashbury into three parts. These would be, first academic, second athletic, the third is hard to define. but may be described as a social adjustment and maturing which should be cheerful and disciplined. Our academic record this year has been good. Nearly everybody will pass to a higher grade. This is expected, more important is the scholastic atmosphere. I am able to report that this remains most en- couraging. Membership in the Top Banana Club fwhich increased this year! is still regarded as enviable -in other words a boy who does well in class is looked up to, which is a healthy sign. Our athletic year has been disappointing in one respect. In the won and lost column against outside competition the balance swings heavily to the lost scale. In another respect the year has been better than many. More boys played on junior teams against other schools than ever before. This in part at least accounts for our lack of success. Against one school, for instance, we Helded two completely different soccer teams in the two games we played. ln the third division we also ended on the plus side. Happily there are no down staircases for boys to climb in a private school. VVe have the traditions and atmosphere of the junior School to work for us, and it would be an unusual boy who did not end the year a more stable and mature citizen. These forewords often end on the unhappy note of staff departures. As we will be eliminating Form I, Miss jacobsen will not be returning. Vie are also losing Mr. Peyton, Mr. Gillean, Mr. Marland and Miss Black. This junior Ashburian is Nlr. Marland's final contribution, and those many parents whose sons have been exposed to his stimulating English and History classes will be glad to know that we hope to persuade him to return after he gains Ontario certification by teaching in the provincial system. Miss Black, who is to be in charge of The junior School at lilmwood is, l think. sorry to leave in one respect. She likes teaching little boys and they love her. This is the secret of her success. The boys are so fond of her that they do their very best not to displease her. She is an excellent teacher. D. L. POLK '1' 11 H A s H is U le 1 .4 .v gg lilJl'1'ORlAL We suspect that there are many ladders to climb, and we know that we have reached the top of only the rirst. Next year xve, the high and mighty inhabitants of Transitus, will be part of the loxvlv Xliddle School: no longer shall we receive our special privileges, and. for those of us who are monitors, it will seem a long drop. There is much that we shall miss, but there is also a lot that we eager- ly anticipate. For, in leaving Nlr. Pollq's little world , xve are en route to the Great Lifeg it xvill probably be a long way, but xve shall get there all the same. We know what to expectg we feel confident that we can overcome the difficulties: we are products of the -Iunior School, and that. to us, means a great deal. Q JUNIOR MONITORS -1965-1966 Back Razr: B.

THE YEAR The charm of our junior School lies, perhaps, in that it provides many extra-curricular activities. Little boys shoxv tremendous response to the unorthodox, and some activities have been just that. Others. less unusual, have also been enthusiastically greeted. CULTURE. Nlost Xlondays. at -I-.30 p.m.. the -lunior School assembles in Arfrvle where bv means of lectures. movies, or demonstrations. it is C. ' . 1,4 THE ASHBURIAN exposed to the more refined aspects of education. Masters provide sub- jects in turn, sometimes these subjects simply do not appear. For example, we have a note dated 20 September which says Police forgot , or 27 September: Bell unable to come through . Due to sports activi- ties, long weekends, and one Governors' meeting, Culture was not held every week this year.

LITERATURE ON FILMS. In November, IIIA was taken to the Capitol Theatre to see the latest movie of Macbeth , which was origin- ally filmed for television, and starred Maurice Evans and Judith Ander- son. It was very good , says Vaughan, especially when all the action came around. But I wish they hadn't talked to themselves so muchn. Everyone enjoyed Macbeth , and the movie paved the way for the successful study of the text, for the first time part of the Grade VII English course. In February, Mr. Marland donated the entire treasury of Ashburia', towards obtaining the movie of Oliver Twistn. It was hoped that this would be the recent version, with Alec Guinness and Robert Newton, what arrived was a faded experiment in sound photography, starring actors long forgotten, and no doubt long dead. VVhile the boys loved every minute of it, the staff blenched. At least Oliver Twist exposed everyone to an aspect of Early Cinematographic Art. Some juniors saw the film of Julius Caesar which was shown here one Sunday, primarily for the benefit of the seniors. PIMM presented a puppet show for the journal Milk Fund, there were two shows, the first on 8 january at Pimm's house, and the second on IO january for Form II. There were three items: XVHAT A BUNCH OF NUTS, SKIT, and TIIIQ PIANO ALCOHOLIC. Helping Pimm were Perley- Robertson and Dlelenick. PICRLICY was frequently in the public eye. Other than being school organist Clioyd also took a turn at thatj, he discovered a dinosaur bone THE ASHBURIAX in the school grounds fhave we been constructed above a gigantic fossil? J, and was also seen in the companv of a stained glass window. IIALLOXYITI-iN XYINNERS. The following were finalists at the annuai llallowe'cn fancy dress competition: Schofield - lst as a robot. Runners up: Smallwood, Pimm, Anapolskv l. After the competition, a movie was shown, and then those present descended upon the Tuckshop. FRED HOOD. lt had been hoped that a play would be an annual junior School event. Last year it was 'fThe Town of Titipuu: this year it was going to be Fred Hoodw- UA Tale of Terrible XYoodland Tragedyul -but the play never proceeded past its initial rehearsals. The reasons for abandonment were purely technical. and the cast was disappointed. lYhile Fred Hood never was. the efforts that went into it should not be forgotten. MUSIC PRODIECTS. Miss Woodburn judged the following as having produced the best music projects: Transitus A: Tied for One - Yennor-Morris and Macdonald Tied for Two - de Dardel and XYhitwill Honourable Mention: Merkley, Rincon, Rothwell, Blyth, Moquettc, Basinski 5 Transitus B: One - Schofield' Two - Lafiamme Honourable Mention: Colbert, Cole, Turton IHA: One - Basinski ll Two - Macfarlane Honourabe Mention: Grinstead, Levy, Crinion, Martin.

Taticcclq HLYMANE SOCIETY ESSAYS. As usual. the junior School sent entries into the Humane Society Essay Contest. David Yennor-Morris was our Grade 8 winner, while Charles Schofield. David l.aflammc. and Richard Bissonet won honourable mention. Me were especially proud of Robert Wilson in Grade 7, who won the Catherine Smith Trophy. VVilson's essay is printed in this ASHBURIAN. Stephen XYinterton won honourable mention in Grade 7. Grade 5 winners were Stuart jelenick, Robert Pimm, and Philip Hogarth. Mr. Perry came over one afternoon to present the prizes.

Derek Pryde, Gordon Tanton, Scott Fraser, Rickie Perley, Robert Sanders, Tony Luciani, David Peterson, David Orr, Martin Stead, Eric Levy, Ralph Babbitt, Toni Basinski, Philip Bounsall, Robert Philips. David Laflamme, Stefan Basinski, David Yennor-Morris, Ian Carrigan, Graham Blyth and lan Merkley all entered, and read two poems: one of their own choice, and Poe's To Helen . Mr. Polk, Mr. Marland. and Miss Black were judges, selecting Abbot, Achbar, Bounsall. Carrigan. Dubord, Fraser, Pimm, Stead, and Vennor-Morris for the finals. The finals were held the following week. with Mr. Atwood from the Senior School judging. Dubord and Fraser were unable to appear. Each finalist read a poem of his choice, Lake Isle of Innifrcen, which he was allowed to prepare, and lnvictus . which he read without prepara- tion. Mr. Atwood decided, after some difficulty, that Martin Stead and Mark .-Xchbar produced the best performances. 90 THE ASHBURIAN MUSIC A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that wordly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. - Goethe Only through musical experience can a person come to live and understand good music. In our junior school music appreciation classes, rhythm is the gateway to our music education. In the early grades the OIIFF instruments are used to sense rhythms and create melodies. The reading of music is taught by the use of recorders and singing. The appreciation of music is approached by means of listening to records, studying the lives of composers and doing projects. Prizes were given during the year for the projects on Bach, Handel and Mozart. It has been a most successful and interesting year. I. NI. VVooDBURN During the spring term, the junior School was privileged to hear .Xliss Beverly Gertsmann of Glebe Collegiate play the Hrst movement of Beethoven's piano concerto in C major. Miss Gertsmann, who visited the school under the sponsorship of Miss Woodburn, has Won a 3200 scholarship at the Hull Festival in the 16 years and Under concerto class, s ie won also a S5100 scholarship in the junior concerto class at the Ottawa Festival. She was about to compete in the Provincial Quebec Festival. The juniors were deeply impressed by Miss Gertsmann: they sat still and silent for half an hour. P.j.M. On Saturday, 4 December, the junior School went to see the opera Cinderella at the Capitol Theatre. XYe were there all afternoon, and I am sure that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Host people understood the words, and not one of us afterwards could think of any Haw in the performance. The opera was not the usual story of Cinderella, but a different version, written by the Italian, Rossini. It was performed by t ie Metropolitan Opera Company. l, along with many others, certainly hope that another opera will come to Ottawa, and that the junior School will go to it.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL LIBRARY The junior School Library was a complete success this year, as a new system was started, having a permanent librarian to check out books, and to replace them on the shelves. All books are now catalogued. Credit for this must go to Dr. Spencer and Mr. Marland. Many books are now being taken out each library day CTuesday and Fridayj, and many are kept out long after they should have been returned. Few fines, however, are actually imposed. Over 40 new books were obtained this year, many donated by the Lynne family, and others coming from the Mothers' Guild. Nearly every new book or- dered turned out to be unobtainable, or out of print. The most popular books are naturally those which cannot be considered to be really im- proving reading, but the fact that lots of books are being read at all is encouraging. This winter, a collection of 'very old books appeared, their main value lies in their antiquity and rarity. No-one read them, but they were displayed at the lVinter Term Parents' Night. The title of Bookworm '66 must go to Orr II, who has taken 12 books out of the library to date C30 Apriljg runners up are Vaughan and Willson. Librarians were Boyd I and Lloyd. BRYAN Boyo, IIIA THE ASHBURIAN 93 OUR CLASS TRIPS It was a glorious afternoon as Form II left the school grounds in the direction of the bus stop. We bustled into the bus and awav we went. XYe were going to the theatre to see a movie The L'gIv IJaehsImntI and Winnie the Pooh . As we were munching popeoriniand other candied goods the movie started. We had a very nice time. All our class thanks Miss Black for our wonderful trip. Rom-:Ri Plxixi, II XYedncsday, -I Xlay 1966 At half-past ten one morning, we left the busy atmosphere of the classroom under the leadership of Alr. Alarland and went bv bus to a stop some distance from the Aluseum. We walked the rest of the way there, and after about half an hour's looking at dinosaurs, rocks, eskimo relics and other interesting things, we walked to the Granada Restaurant. Then, when we had eaten our lunch of french fries, coke, ham- burgers, etc. we all went off to see the film The Sound of Music at the Nelson Theatre. TVhen this movie, which everybody enjoyed, was over, we all walked back to the school from a day we enjoyed tremendously. Pat'r.Osx1oxo,lll.X IYednesday, 18 Xlay 1966 At a quarter after eleven we left the school and got on a bus headed for downtown. We got off the bus beside the IYar Alemorial. Ifrom there we walked along the Sparks St. Nlall. lt was a quick walk in order to have our lunch and see the movie on time. The sky was cloudy but there was no rain. The limit for each of our lunch was Sl.50. It was a satisfactory lunch. After lunch we arrived at the theatre just in time to see the beginning of the movie The Ten Ccimmandments . It was an interesting movie but it was too long for it was not over until four o'cIock. So we had to cancel our plans to visit the Parliament Buildings Ca close shave thatb and go straight home. It was a splendid outing but perhaps it might have been more exciting if we had gone to Parliament. CHARi.i:s A. SCHUFIICLID, Transitus I3 ARBOR DAY Cince again, Arbor Day was celebrated in the .Iunior School by the planting of a tree, the donation of Air. Cole. Transitus A. Transitus I3 and IIIA watched Turton and Cole plant the tree. XII: Perry was present. 94 THE ASHBURIAN THE TRIP TO THE OBSERVATORY On a Friday evening during the Fall term, Mr. Gillean and the Science Club went to the Dominion Observatory. VVe dropped the seniors off at Carleton University's Computer Centre and continued on to the Observatory. lYhen we arrived a nice man met us, and took us down to a building where we saw a very interesting movie about the stars. After the movie we asked him questions and he drew a few descriptive diagrams on a blackboard. lYe then went to the Observa- tory itself. For a few minutes we looked at pictures and a model of all the planets Cwhich movedl. There was also a seismograph, which every- body thought was very interesting. Finally we got up to the big telescope. It seemed that we had to walk miles and miles of stairs before we got to it! First of all he showed us how the telescope worked, and how, if he were following a star, he would make the telescope rotate at the same speed. Because it was cloudy, we could not see any great distance into the sky, but we all took turns looking at the Peace Tower Cupside downl. As we were all leaving one of the boys thanked the pleasant guide on behalf of the whole Science Club of Ashbury for a most interesting and informative lesson on the stars. JOHN AlACDONALD, Transitus A PREPARATORY SCHOOL MEETING The Preparatory School Committee of the Canadian Headmasters' Association met this year in the beautiful setting of Trinity College School at Port Hope on january 4th, 1966. Delegates were present from Hfteen schools including a former master at this school, Nlr. lan Spencer, now teaching at the Halifax Grammar School. At the morning session, Mr. A. B. Hodgetts, Head of History at T.C.S., gave an excellent thought provoking address on Canadian His- tory as an Instrument of National Policy . The afternoon, and also the Sunday discussions included subjects of general interest, and also of particular concern to the independent schools. Such matters as essay type examinations, emphasis on term marks, new mathematics and its values, the French language, laboratory, and values of streaming for the various levels were discussed at considerable length. As a centennial project it was agreed that an exchange of students between independent schools might deserve consideration. j. C. VVHrrwn.I. V .uf ,, Xl, ga if X Y. ,, , X .

Some of the class made or collected weather instruments, while others made charts for writing down the information gathered from the instruments. Mr. Gillean made a barometer during one of the science classes to help us in this new studv. The first time Mr. Gillean predicted the weather, how- ever, something went wrong, as he said it would be fair and warm, but as soon as we got out on the playing field after our class -it poured rain! Mr. Gillean had somebody else read the weather report from then on. JOHN Macooxaro, Transitus A ASHBURIA There were six Ashburias , published at the heady rate of one a month between September and March Cwith time out for Chrisnnasa. The first cost five cents, it had ten pages. The last sold for a dime, and boasted twenty-two pages, the Hrst of which was in glowing colour. Ashburia hid nothing, it was not essentially a newspaper, but more of a semi-literary magazine with overtones of yellow journalism. ln October the junior School was In State of Terrori' when it was revealed that a tribe of orientals were plotting to steal Eric Levy, after this, Ashburia printed the details of 'KA Great Scandal - the revela- tion that the beloved Pascal Family of the French book was a hoax, a mere piece of propaganda put out by Nlao Tse-Tung. This brought on 'fgnashing of teeth in lllA , while Transitus B just burst into tears . john Turton announced that he would walk to China to find out the truth, writing to Dear Gabby he confessed that he was not sure of the wayn. Do not ask any Americans , Gabby advised. '6They cannot recognize China when they see itn. Simultaneously, Ashburia investigated the rumour that Bruce Goldie was really a Ghouldie, and that he had strange habits. I have been told that l am a vampire , he wrote to Ashburia. How long do you think l have left? Do not be so concerned, answered Gabbv. lt took the Roman Vampire years to fall, and that was only because of Atilla the I laughanf' But Ghouldie managed to dominate the headlines for several months: in November he had inherited a castle and graveyard in remotest Transylvania . Having renounced these premises, Ghouldie fancied transforming them into a private school. Q At this point, Bryan Boyd emerged from the pit beneath Room K to report that Ashbury is riddled by a network of secret passages , and asked ARF Tl ll , DUNGICONS STILL BEING USED? Before this could be answered, Ashburia's reporter, Tronk, vanished while in- vestigating cannibalism in the Hang, and again Ghouldie leaped into the THE ASHIiL'RlA.N' 97 headlines. As if this were not enough, Ashburia--I- learned that Rickie Perley had poisoned IIIC with a cake: I wanted to see what would happen. Finally, Ashburia revealed the secret of the school, how it had been founded by an einigre of the French Revolution, le duc de Pruke, in a houseboat on the Rideau Canal, and how it was terrorised bv three masters: Snoddle, Prong and Ifig1lIJll'llS. To set the historicalirecord straight , Ashburia stated, it must be said that Canon XYoollcoinlie forum' Ashbury, and then founded the school we know. just about everyone made contributions to Ashburia . Paul Os- mond emphasised the bizarre: The Creature of the Black Lagoon , The Night at the Black Swamp , Aly Life as a Nlad Scientist Chere genuine censorship was exercised as the author was arried away by lurid descriptionj, and The Dog Island Treasure . Ilaase's .XIutiny on the Tubbyn was published in the first issue, it was so successful that Haase spent the rest of the year contemplating a sequel. Xlalcolm Orr wrote a very good piece on the Great Har , which had a surprising denoument. A lot that was handed in was not published because we kept running out of stencils. Transitus B was a disappointment: only Eddie Shabsove wrote a publishable contribution. Not only were there stories: jokes, crossword puzzles, lots of poems, and cartoons appeared. Bind all your Ashburia s together, and you will have over 75 pages. Those who helped in the actual production of Ashburia were Aliss jacobsen, Vaughan, Boyd I, Alacdonald, Altman, Turton, Goldie, and the whole of Form II for one stapling session. Nlr. Alarland did a lot of typing and drew many unlikely characters, all taken from life. P ju JL'x1oR scHooL CHAPEL At 8.35 every morning, the juniors had a short service in the Chapel to start the school day. Lessons were read by the junior moni- tors and on Alondavs, the Confirmation candidates took turns reading. , Each Wednesday. and on several other days, Nliss XY. C. Black conducted the service and told a spiritual story, and on some Thursdays. the Chaplain, the Rev. N. C. Peyton. led the boys in a sing-song, prac- ticing the hymns to be sung the following Sunday. The usual Confirmation classes were held during the year. under the guidance of the Chaplain, and on Alay Sth the l.ord Bishop of Ottawa, the Rt. Rev. E. G. Reed. confirmed these juniors: Philip Boun- sall, Andrew Ashton, Ralph Babbitt, Alichel Dubord, XYillia1n llaase. Colin Alacfarlane, Thomas Xlartin. David Orr. Xlalcolm Orr. David Peterson, Leo Smallwood. and Stephen IYhitwill. 9.9 THE ASHBURIAN Our choir was once again under the direction of Mr. Godfrey Hewitt, organist and choirmaster of Christ Church Cathedral. Nlrs. Brown was the Chapel Organist, who played at Choir Practice. All the members of the choir were from the junior School, and we appreciate their contribution to our service of worship. The Chapel monitor was David Vennor-Morris, and the Choir monitor, lan Merkley. REV. N. C. PRY'roN THE CHOIR -1965-1966 linrk Rout S. j. lXlcEachran, R. M. Trites, D. E. Byron, l. C. Alerlclev, Rev.

Monday, 25 April. One of the more interesting events during the school year was Cactus Day, celebrated by the planting of a tiny cactus, christened Bertha, by Form IHA. After Mr. Polk had pointed out at Lunch how great a part of the Canadian heritage was directed by the cactus, IIIA filed out on to the field at two o'clock. Forms 1 and 2 followed behind, with Macfarlane, leading the way. Having found a suitable spot in the middle of the field, Osmond and I dug a small hole, in which Mr. Marland planted Bertha. Boyd made a short, impromptu speech, noting that every cactus must have its day, and that this one would never be forgotten. Then Mac- farlane drew aside the Hag, and we stood for a moment in silent contem- plation, meditating upon Bertha and the profound significance of it all. VVe then walked back to class. Later, it was noted that Thomas Martin had developed a strange passion for Bertha, he surrounded her with stones, and inspected her every day. In the meantime, Vaughan watered her, and the temperature fell below freezing. At this point, noting that Bertha was turning brown, Martin resurrected her, and was given the position of CUS- TODIAN OF THF, ASHBURY CACTUS. Now Bertha is Chez Martin, and is brought in to school every Thursday for exhibition. ROBERT XV 1LsoN, IIIA '1'IIl'I A S H If U R I A X llll Sl .VliN'I'Y-lflYE YEARS . . . The lnnior ffyblrlrrian cannot allow tiis, the seventy-fifth anniver- sary of the school's founding, to be ignored or passed over. I lad we the space, we would like to review the most important and interesting events in Ashbury's history, we would like to mention our distinguished old boys and visitors, we would like to write about all our headmasters. 1Ye can, however, confirm the fact that there really unix once a master here named Hamlet S. Philpots, and we can do three other things: we can choose an important year, and observe what passed during it, we can look briefiy at the school's development in the years before it moved to Rockclifife Park, and we can examine the appearance of the .Xlemorial IVing, considered in its time the essence of contemporary convenience, and now the rather dreary locale of the present gymnasium, and home of the junior Boarders. THE FIRST YEAR IN THE PRESENT BL'll.DlNGS 1910-1911 lt has been said that the years before the Great 1Yar were, for the fortunate, years of leisure and pleasure, that they were part of a Golden Age abruptly terminated in 191-1-. Earnest historians tell us that this is a gross misconception, and that the first years of this century are wrongly viewed through a mist of nostalgia. The gold, even then, was tarnished. IYhether this be true or not, the Ashbury of the time appears placid and unhurried. Spring terms, for example, were- according to the .4511- bzrrimz, source of all our quotations - devoted to dolce-farniente - loaf- ing about in fiannels, and doing nothing in particular, just enjoying the sense of freedom and fresh air . The weeks before june, in this era. seem to be ones of breathless cramming for examinations: in the Golden Age it was considered that, after Easter, the hard work is over. It is a season of review in work, and freedom in recreation . The Headmaster in 1910 was, as he was to be for many years to follow, George Penrose IYoolleombe, then almost fifty years of age. a strong figure modelled upon the example of the great nineteenth century British headmasters. In 1891, Nlr. 1Yoollcombe had opened his school in one room on 1Yellington Street, since then, he had moved it around Ottawa until, with the opening of the 1910 Autumn Term, it had arrived in new premises and surroundings . Should, however. we be trans- ported to Ashbury at the beginning of that school year. we would find it strangely unfamiliar. To begin with, it was distinctly smaller: there was no Chapel, no Nlemorial Wing, no laboratory extension. no Argyle. nor was there a separate headmaster's house. The grounds were rela- mg THE ASHBURIAN tivelv treeless, and the field was uncultivated. It was not, as it is today, surrounded by houses: Xlariposa Avenue ran 'lthrough fields . Mr. XYoollcombe,'refiecting upon the transition from the Victoria Chambers to a stately brick edifice in the short period of twenty years, was, for the moment, satisfied: No expense has been spared to provide comfortable accommodation for the boys and the staff . . . our new classrooms are much lighter than the old, larger and well ventilated. There were not, in 1910, many staff members. The Headmaster's assistant was a Mr. Pratt, who taught mathematics, and coached a success- ful football team, at the end of the year, he renounced teaching for ever and was sadly missed. Mr. Emory performed as Gymnastics Profes- sional, while Miss Blanchet, a shadowy Hgure, was in charge of the juniors. From Highfield came the indefatigable Mr. Hooper to teach lfnglish, his extra-curricular activities were manifold and vital, and it is sad to learn that he died, five years later, at the age of thirty-eight. One feels that Hooper was a teacher who should not have died young. Xlr. Carey-Flwes, later Rector of a church in Florida, was beginning his second year as Classics Master, Mr. VVood came, after long residence in Paris, to teach French. From Eton and Balliol came the Heeting Mr. Barrington-Kennett, a boatsman of distinction. His stay at Ashbury was brief: during the Christmas holidays, he departed for an Iinglish holiday, and succumbed there to serious, unspecified illness. Parents were in- formed that owing to the protracted nature of his maladyn, he would never return. It was feared that Mr. Barrington-Kennett might die- but evidently he fooled them all, for we have a glimpse of him fighting for his King five years later at the Front. Another master who later went to the YVar was the popular and genial Captain VVeston. Health and sickness were supervised by the efficient Xliss Clark. The year began with the official determination that Ashbury was to be made the first school in Canada . We do not know how those long gone masters dealt with their pupils in the well lighted, well heated, well ventilated classrooms: such grim realities were simply not recorded. Nor do we know what ghastly crises confronted -as they do all head- masters - Mr. XYoollcombe. Details of diet are missing from the records. But we do know that that year was packed with extracurricular activity-activity that, today, might seem pompous and sedate, but which, in the Colden Age, was in tempo with the times. There were, for instance, a series of talks by distinguished guests. On 25 November, Colonel Biggar, evidently not unknown in con- temporary academic circles, arrived at Ashbury armed with a collection of beautiful slides which were shown in our lantern -manipulated by Xlr. Pratt . The Colonel spoke for two hours on the South African XYar, one of the more recent holocausts. He returned the following term with further slides fhthrown on by means of the school projecting N V fa-uQH'b ' a ww.. P'fY 'f .. N' ' -uv' rf 'Q .n rf, K . V liz' r 5 .

This gymnasium, the scene of many school functions, was divided into two stories at the completion of the Memorial Wing, thir- teen years later. The lower half became a changing room, and the Lipper a laboratory. Until 1913, Sunday afternoon chapel services were held there, local soloists were imported - a Miss Ferguson is mentioned -and they sang to accompaniment provided by Mr. Hooper on the cornet, two boys on the violin, and one on the piccolo. The results were said to be like that of a Glee Club. Un 24 February, 191 1, the Rev. Mr. llall, prominent in the vital field of nautical missions, was in the gym to explain his plan for presenting to George V at the forthcoming, and eagerly anticipated, coronation a list of all boys who had donated one dollar to the Sailors' Fund. Ashbury, hinted Mr. Bell tantalisingly, had the chance to head that list, and thus come to the Royal notice. Another ecclesiastic, the Rector of a local church, gave an illustrated lecture on the architectural merits of the more remarkable English cathedrals, and yet another informed the school that the present generation was far more fortunate than any preceding it. Colonel Macpherson was kind enough to explain to the school the great issue confronting Canada and the United States, it was, he said, Reciprocity -- and they all apparently believed him, for the word was added to every Ashburian's vocabulary. The boys had their own newspaper called the Cl77'07IiCf6. It was one ofa series put out since 1905. From that year until 1911, the school boasted a dreaded secret society known mysteriously as the Black Cat. When Ashbury had been on Argyle Avenue, the Black Cat had dis- covered a deep hole, which it called, hopefully, a cave, and in which it had met regularly. lt had published the Globe which, after a few issues, was renamed the Stefwarto-11 Star, and sold for the price of one pen nib, it, eventually, became the Stefwaifton Eye Opener. By 1908, there were rivals, and the Ashbury Chronicle appeared, which lasted until its editors went into schism. Bower Heney produced his own News, and a boy called Morgan continued with the Cbrovzicle, which cheerfully put the News out of circulation. Morgan took into partnership Gordon Perley, and the paper was still being published in 1910. Only one file of it was kept, and that was last heard of in 1915. 1910 was the last year when the Cadet Corps was inspected during the Autumn Term. Nliss Blanchett's iuniors had been subjected twice weekly to the training of Sergeant-Nlaior Carwardine, who later de- parted for promotion at the lfront. On Friday, 25 November, Captain Clarke arrived to perform the inspection. At two thirty, the corps under command of Capt. Barris marched on to the football field . . . The junior Corps was also on parade in large numbers, and, though 1 1 THE ASHBURIAN IIN lacking in uniforms, they made up for this deficiency by the smartness with which they carried out connnands . . . The small boys seemed to please the inspecting orlicer, for at the conclusion of their movements, he spoke to them in a very complimentary manner. Captain Clarke con- sidered the performance very satisfactory but - writing to the l lead- master after a week's thought - hoped for an improvement in the Extended Order , which he judged only 'fair' Several Governors-General have visited Ashbury, and there is a large photograph of the Duke of Connaught, Queen k'ictoria's military third son, seated amid an admiring party in the school grounds: but Prince Arthur did not come until 1912. ln 1910, the Vice-Regal visitor was Earl Grey. Informed of the innninence of this important person, Nlr. XYoollcombe decided upon an honour guard made up of the corps and the scouts. These latter had been formed on the urgent request of Miss Blanchet's juniors, who expressed a corporate urge to be part of the Baden-Powell movement . Nlr. llooper was in charge. But the weather this December was unseasonablyi chilly, Xliss Clark felt that the honour guard would succumb to sickness, and Xlr. XYoollcombe kindly contented himself with the knowledge that an informal reception might be pleasing to the harassed Earl. His Excellency came with his wife, his daughter Lady Evelyn, and his A.D.C., Lord Percy. XYith expressions of delight, admiration and satisfaction, they toured the premises, finally being conducted to the gymnasium, where Earl Grey, the chief Canadian scout, declared himself deeply impressed by Nlr. Hooper's patrol, at the time busily investigating the mysteries of wood-lore. A bouquet was presented, the lfarl asked for a half-holiday, and the Vice-Regal party left amid loud cheers. 1911 opened with a continuation of the inclement cold which had deprived the Governor-General of his honour guard. There was a lot of skating on the rink and, on the site of the present staff houses, a toboggan slide was erected, This structure, while immensely popular, detracted from the aesthetic qualities of the property, and it was shortly demolished. Mr. XVoollcombe announced, after considerable thought, that the school colours were to be changed from red and blue to the distinctive cardinal. white and green. Shooting was held in the basement, and the Daughters of the Empire were looked to provide a service riHe each year - tu be won in open competition by the best shot . Meanwhile, a Debating Society had been formed under the aegis of Mr. Barrington-Kennett, who, we may recall, disappeared at Christmas- time. Mr. Barrington-Kennett had envisaged gentlemanly meetings thrice a term, to be held on Saturday evenings in the library. Finally. he settled upon Tuesday afternoons in the Assembly llall. T ie first meeting was. held on 2 November, with Xlr. Barrington-Kennett morally supported by the presence of the Headmaster, Xlessrs. Pratt, lloopcr, 105 THE ASHBURIAN lYood, and a large proportion of the schoolu. The atmosphere was one of mutual admiration: Xlr. XYooQlcombe proposed Nlr. Barrington- Kennett for President, and Nlr. Barrington-Kennett proposed Mr. VVooll- combe for Honorary President. They each Hblushingly accepted the high office , and both suggested that Nlr. Hooper be Vice-President. Burdened with his Ashlrzlriivz, scouts, and cornet playing, not to mention the shooting team, Mr. Hooper declined the honour, but, under pressure, finally agreed to be vice-president until someone else could be found. Un 6 December, at -1 p.m., Xlr. O'Halloran, the captain of the school, and Klr. Barwis, the senior prefect were privileged to open the first debate in the society's history. 1910-1911 brought a successful sporting season, which must have deeply inspired those who identihed Ashbury's future greatness with its new surroundings. The football team reaped glory, and was honoured by a dinner held in the tastefully decorated dining room with the object of greatest interest-the magnihcent Challenge Cup-in the centre of the long tables . .Xlodern Ashburians tend to associate the early teams with Mr. Xlontizambert, a later feature at the school, most probably because he, unsmiling yet friendly, figures prominently in the ponderously posed photographs now hung in the main hall. But in 1910, it was Mr. Pratt all the way: at the dinner Mr. Vlfoollcombe toasted the team, and its captain, C. Fleming, passed all credit to Mr. Pratt who, in the modest fashion of all successful coaches, explained that the glory IHLISI go to the players themselves. They all then adjourned to the Russell Theatre - a long vanished Uttawa institution, once very popular with Ashbury's inmates-to see a play appropriate in subject if not spirit. It concerned Billy, a football player exposed to an unheroic accident and the direst of humiliation. At a late hour the party broke up with mutual congratulations upon a successful season. The Challenge Cup had been won after a series of exciting games with other schools. On a fine, hot day, Ashbury had lost C32-SD to Lower Canada College, but had revived by winning a difficult match against St. Albans and again at a return game with LCC, where the score was a satisfactory 5-1-0. The fourth, and last game of the series, was played against St. Albans at its home, Brockville, on a dark, wet day. Victorious C18-OJ, Ashbury had returned to Ottawa with the cup later displayed in the Dining Room. For the second consecutive year, the school won the Carling Cup for hockey. Defeating Brockville High School, Lower Canada College, and St. Albans Ashbury was defeated by St. Alban's and Nlontreal High School. Some local games were scheduled and played with local teams on the rink at Gladstone Avenue. ln the final term, tennis courts were laid out on the spot later appro- priated by Nlr. XYoollconibe for a new headniaster's house. ln sports THE ASHBURIAX 107 this year we have certainly been fortunate . opined Xlr. llooper. even the rifle shooting-begun in earnest only just before Christmas- has been tackled with enthusiasm . This, then, was Ashbury's first year in Rockcliffe. Yes , said the Asbb11l'i1111, Ashbury is steadily forging ahead to the front among great Canadian schools. As they all departed for the summer holidays- considered to be far too long, and scheduled too early in the year - they all knew that it would only be a matter of time. i P. AlARl.ANlD VVHY ASHBURY . . . This school was founded by George Penrose KYoollcombe. a most remarkable man who was born nearly 100 years ago. The ancestral home of his old Devonshire family in England was named Ashbury Manor house. Mr. Vl'oollcombe went to Canada after he had obtained his degree at Christ Church, Oxford. He taught at Trinity College School and at Bishop's. There had been such schools, modelled on the British Public Schools, in Canada since 1788, but none existed in or near Ottawa. In 1891, Canon Hfoollconibe opened a one room day school on Vielling- ton Street. AIr. 1Yoollcombe's School , as it was called, had a roll of 15 boys. Mr. XYoollcombe was well suited to his profession, and his experience in other schools had given him the gift of good discipline. ln his school his word was law, and he had a strong character. Provided you did not make him angry, he was the perfect friend for a schoolboy. By 189-1 the school was moved into a row of old stone houses further along Wellington Street. The school had its games field where the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building now stands. .Nlr. XYoollcombe's School was changed to Ashbury House School , and boarders were taken. By 1897 there were almost sixty pupils, and five masters. The school had hardly settled here when it was moved to Argyle avenue. in a three storied white-wash house. Games were conducted on a piece of land now occupied by the National Museum. Now, in 1900, a trust foundation was started, and each year a group of Founders chose a Board of Governors. This was to Ashbury's advantage. ln 1909 Canon 1Yoollcombe was inspecting some property in Rockcliffe, since the building on Argyle Avenue was considered in- sufficient, and in 1910 the school was moved to its present location. The 1910 Ashburian stated that our opportunities are now greater . . . our environment has completely changed. 1Ye have moved from urban to Ilia' THE ASHBURIAN suburban surroundings - a change which is bound to be conductive to the prosperity of the Collegew. However, at this time there was no chapel, no Rhodes Hall, no gym, no Memorial Wing, and naturally no Argyle. Chapel services were held in the gym. The service was made as musical as possible, with two violins, a Cornet, and a piccolo. Later the Chapel was built but it had no organ, although the Hall beneath was well lighted and ventilated, fitted with the most modern system of steam heating and is artificially lighted with the latest invention in what is known as indirect electric light . By 191 1 Ashbury had a waiting list, and was packed almost beyond capacity. Now the school could select its pupils. The school had been in existence for twenty years, and what was written in 1911 is certainly true today. The motive tone, the stimulus which has been constantly applied, the end Ashbury has ever had in view, its high moral character which has always been her aim, and the steady pressure forward which made her what she is now, is due, we think solely to one fact . . . Mr. VVooll- combe has guided her destinies for twenty years of life - he has made her what she is, and he has moulded the characters of her sons and sent them out into the world, better and stronger for the struggle with the competing forces there to be met with. And to this hundreds of Old Boys are ready to testifyw. PAUL OsMoND, IIIA XVHY THE MEMORIAL VVING . . . ln 1920, it was noticed that most private schools were building addi- tions as memorials to the VVar. Ashbury, however, was not- and to remain one of the first class Canadian schools, it would have to start a campaign to collect money. At this time, more and more boys were entering private schools, if Ashbury did not expand, she would slip into the second-rate. In March, 1921, the headmaster wrote that in a meeting with the Board of Governors, it has been decided that the school will proceed with an up-to-date gym, washrooms, and rifle range . A swimming pool was going to be built, but was abandoned. It was designed by an Old Boy, and the fund raising campaign was started. Later parents were asked to give money. ln june, 1923, a Headmaster's house was almost finished, and the contracts for the construction of the Memorial Wing were being decided. The YVing was to have built in it a central- heating plant, which would keep all the school -including the head- master's residence - warm. lt was also decided that the former gym be divided into two Hoors, the upper a well equipped laboratory, and the f rv, .-an 'N-wx TF' -:N-h 'M' C I 1 110 THE ASHBURIAN lower a changing room. Later, in November, the Memorial VV ing was nearly completed, and it was thought to be a very fitting memorial. Above the new gvm were rooms to accommodate ten boys and four masters C! J The 'building was still without suflicient funds, and it was hoped that Ashbury would gather enough money for it, a debt of 156,000 was faced - to be paid between March and june 1924. As the Memorial XYing was built on faith , it is hoped that the Old Boys raised enough money. lt would be embarassing for Ashbury to be in debt. On 11 june, 1924, forty-two years ago, the Governor-General offi- cially opened the Memorial Wing: some Old Boys were slow in helping to pay the debt. and Mr. XYoollcombe asked them to do it now . ROBERT XYILSON, IHA Lite1'i11'y C07IZ7'iI7Zl1ff0l7IZ THE GREAT XVAR The soldiers stood motionless as the enemy advanced. The gun crews went into action and a cannon boomed across the gorge as a Warn- ing that the enemy should advance no further, or they would be violating the laws of the peace treaty which would mean war. The enemy leader hesitated, then signalled his small unorganised group of farmers to ad- vance. The captain of the guard immediately barked some orders, and two cannon let loose, one hitting the enemy. Eight men scurried from the barracks, and fell into formation. The captain spoke to the men quietly as another cannon pierced the silence of the chilly gorge and the enemy relentlessly approached. Then the men charged down the steep incline of the hill, with fixed bayonets gleaming in the sun. The party of men were soon defeated after a brave and valiant struggle. The rest of the enemy charged madly up the hill, conhdent of their victory. As the captain of the guard frantically tried to organise the frustrated troops, suddenly, and unexpectedly, he teetered and fell, crack! john sank heartbroken to the floor, his soldier was broken, and the war was over.

The Under 13 team did not match up to Selwyn House in the home and home series against this Montreal school team. Our boys were defeated 4-1 and 5-0. We will wait until next year! The Under 12 team played well against a spirited Sedbergh side in this home and home series, winning one game and losing the other. Our Under 1-l- team also against Sedbergh had the same fortune, and both games were close and exciting. Many little soccer players who had missed out in the action during the First half of the season had a chance to play against the jewish Com- munity Centre. We played three games with them, with once again an even result, winning one, tying one, and losing one. League Playoffs In the semi-final matches Manchester defeated lYolyerhampton and Bolton edged out Arsenal. The final game was not held until the Spring Term, as the weather suddenly became wintry and cut short the soccer season. The final match was exciting and only toward the end of play did Xlangifesta score giving Bolton the championship over Manchester 1-0. The House matches were completed in the spring also. Here XVoollcombe gained the bye. The score of the semi-final was Alexander 2 CDubord and Pimmj, Connaught 1 CBarnes3. This matched Alex- ander in the final against Ubollcombe. XYith one minute to go Pryde scored for lYoollcombe to give them the victory. D. L. Porx 112 THE ASHBURIAN UNDER 13 SOCCER TEAM-1965-1966 Back Row: D. C. Vennor-Morris, R. N. Altman, R. M. Trites, D.

Flag Football Report: A new sport was introduced this year. lt was very well liked and enjoyed by all boys. It was set up primarily for the non-active teams not playing soccer during games. Therefore, we used the soccer teams for flag football, keeping the names and players the same. The difference in the two standings is an indication of the competi- tive spirit which the boys carried over from one sport to another. ln the finals, Manchester got the by and Luton and Preston played off for the championship contest against Manchester. Luton won 12-O over Preston and Manchester defeated Luton 6-O for the Championship. J. L. GOLlJSNII'l'H XYINTER TERM: Intra-Mural - Standings HOCKEY HIGH SCORFRS Boston 5-1-0 record .

The enthusiasm was tremendous and participation was nearly 1002. The race for first place in the junior league was extremely close throughout the league games and ended in a tie for first, a tie for second and a tie for third place. The last two teams were only one and two points from the third place standing. The Bantam league was also very close. Only three points separated first and second. Two points between second and thirdg with a tie for fourth place. A very competitive atmosphere was present and carried into final play-offs throughout the league games. Sevni-Finals: 1 -Celtics vs Red Sox 2 - Colts vs Patriots 3-Team 3 vs Team 1 4-Team 2 vs Team 7 The junior semi-final turned out to be a defensive game with very little scoring. However, the Celtics defeated the Red Sox 4 to 0. The second game between the Colts and Patriots proved to be the second defeat of the season to Colts. Patriots outscored them 9-7 to reach the finish against the Celtics. The Bantams semi-finals were all close. Team 3 won over Team I, 66-49 g Team 2 won over Team 7, C10-85. Team 3 and Team 2 then met for the finals. THE ASIIIQURI.-1.X' ff? Filmls: QTwo games total pointsj junior Celtics took a definite lead in the first game bv defeating Patriots 19-8. ln the Bantam finals, Team 3 defeated Teamil, I4 to Ili. The Patriots looked as if they would never even come close to winning the Championship. l lowever, the second game became a wide- open game and the Patriots closed the eleven point margin down to zero by the half way mark. In the final quarters they weakened and lost the Championship to the Celtics 3+-24. Congratulations Celtics. JUNIOR SCHOOL CRICKET The season was memorable much more for the enthusiasm of the team players than for our success. The Under 12 XI played against Sedbergh, and were defeated in a close match by three runs. We were not able to arrange a return fixture and so will have to wait for our revenge until next year. The Under 13 XI played once against a Government House team and suffered a fairly heavy loss. Our regular Hxtures against Sedbergh also resulted in two victories for our opponents, although both matches were close and exciting. Colours awarded to Blyth. In House Cricket Alexander defeated Upollcombe, and went on to a dramatic victory against Connaught, 50-46. Altman's 26 runs for Alexander was a highlight and saved the match for his House. UNDER 12 AT SEDBERGH Mr. Marland took an Under 12 team to Sedbergh on Wednesday, 17 Hay. Those on the team were Richard Stewart. Derek Pryde. Donald Hatch, Robert Pimm, Richard Luciani, Richard Trites, jean DeDardel, Michael Barnes, Bryan Boyd, Ian Cuthbertson, and Robert Grant-Hvhyte. They were defeated by three runs after a very tense game. Mention should, perhaps, be made of Donald Hatch, who managed to make two spectacular catches. Robert Wilson was scorer. ,Q iiii 'i .fo l T X L Q 1 Q C 5 1 I TT 7' ii, -N- fx P' Z A I ,-L., K , .Za ,S F .E .

Eventually, it turned out that Ciraham Blyth and Patrick Crozier were the finalists, and Nlr. .Xlelntvre himself ap- peared to umpire the match. Bryan Boyd was scorer, Gavin Vaughan and Rick Altman were the slowest ball boys ever known to mankind. Blyth won the first set 6-2, and the second 6-4, this meant victory as the match, which was a slow one, was scored as the best of three possible sets.

There are more athletic activities at Ashbury than at a public school. Here we play on soft grass, at public we played on hard concrete. At Ashbury we have a school paper, but at the public school I attended we didn't have a school paper. S'I'L'AR'I' jiiirxick, II Ashbury is unlike Public Schools in many ways. It has more advantages. First of all I think the sports are longer. Every day after lunch we have over two hours of either cricket. soccer, football. softball. hockey, or runs. Vie also get two regular gym periods a week. Ashbury also gets longer holidays. We get longer Easter. Summer. and Christmas holidays, plus half term and long weekends. On the whole Ashbury is better in many more ways than Public Schools. PHILIP HotIAR'I'H, II My view of Ashbury is quite good. I thing it has a lot to offer. Public schools wouldn't have any games periods like Ashbury. Also. they wouldn't issue magazines like the Ashburian. Best of all public schools don't have movies once a week. I also like the idea of having one hour gym instead of half-an-hour. The tuck shop is something I like too. Ashbury has very soft mattresses for the beds. But there are still some bad points about Ashbury like the food! Also inspection bothers me a lot. But you and I know that there are more good points than bad. S'I'IivI1x lIL'I:IsxI-ia. II EASTER NIG HT The Easter rabbit comes on Easter night. He is very furry and very light. Every thing is quiet on Easter night. Except when Nicky and his brother fight. NICKY Ciusrox. II ,gg THE ASHBURIAN AND THEN THERE XYAS ONE Part I Rad Ching Demfgyed Alziwmls Overtake Asia The headlines raced across the United States and Canada but it was true. Millions of animals, birds and insects had wiped out the entire population of China, Russia and the East Indies. Travelling in precision form, they crossed the entire continent of Asia, destroying all that lay in their path. Within days, the horde of creatures had entered Europe and Africa and, soon these, too, were in utter ruin. No one in America had been worried about danger to themselves when the animals first made their war-like appearance in China, but when a land bridge mysteriously appeared between Siberia and Alaska, America sent arms and troops to northern Canada. Bombing raids were completely useless because of the immense number of the invaders. Canadians fled south, but suddenly more invaders appeared in South America and soon the United States and southern Canada were the only areas which the invaders did not occupy. Soldiers were constantly Hghting against them but relentlessly they pushed onward. Frantically, a massive barrier of every imaginable substance was erected, starting from New York, west to Chicago and then south to New Orleans. Every available person was used against the animals, but even so, they soon reached this barrier. Every known way of protection was thrown against the invaders who continually approached like a sheet of molten lava. Rank upon rank of animals fell before the wall of protec- tion, as innumerable jets destroyed all attempts for an aerial attack by the invaders. For ever and ever, the line of animals seemed to come, as thousands of men lay dead or wounded before the front. For days this warfare continued, but no hope was left for the humans because the invaders outnumbered them millions of times over. And so it was, until . . . Part II A loud explosion rang dehantly through the air, then others fol- lowed, more and still more. The sky became pitch black with smoke and dirt. The cause was a new weapon discovered just a few hours previously which had been put into effect. Radium, when mixed in a certain way with helium, exploded the entire area for five miles in every direction. Long range bombers had been sent out and soon there were no remains but a barren plain. This danger was over but another problem just as serious imme- diately arose. The Americans were soon forced into starvation for the invaders had destroyed everything, including vegetation, as they passed. The small amount of food left where the invaders had not been, was soon gone. People began killing other people for food and within a week only one person remained in the world. He died of loneliness. BRYAN Bovp, III.-X THE ASHBURIAN 123 HUAIANE SOCIETY ESSAY: XYINNKR Ulf Tl ll-f C.-XTIIIQRINE, SKIITII TROPI IX' Tllhl STORY OF BILLY Billy was Ll small dog who was just ll year old and he lived on a farm near Renfrew. lle was a Samoyed and his ancestors were sled-dogs in the Arctic. Billy had two brothers 11nd one sister. lfverv dav they would play on the fields. llis mother and father preferred to rest ah the steps by the back door leading to their master's home. One night as Billy's family was sleeping, he heard 11 noise, he listened and thought it sounded like a truck. l le went outside and there he saw a big blue pick-up standing in the driveway. Billy r11n outside barking. A man came out with a net and l1e threw it at Billy. The net caught Billy and soon he was put in the back of the pick-up truck. Billy tried to bite through the net, but he couldn't. Soon Billy was asleep. Billy woke up in a dirty old shed. He tried to dig and found he could so he kept digging down and when it was deep enough, he dug 11p. Soon he was out and he ran to the highway. XYhen Billy was on the highway, he walked south. Soon a man stopped and came out of his car. At first Billy was scared, but then the man said some gentle words and lifted Billy into the car. Soon the car stopped in front of a low building with many windows. The rnan took Billy inside. Billy was frightened at what he saw, dogs, cats, and other animals barking, meowing and making noises. Soon Billy was put in a little pen by a window with a tag' around his neck. Soon Billy was given some dogfood and after that he went to sleep. One night Billyls master was looking at the paper, he was reading the want ads. Then he looked up the page and saw the picture of a little white dog. He thought it looked like Billy, Billy!! lt stuck in his mind. He looked again and sure enough, it w11s Billy. He phoned the Humane Society and asked if Billy was sold. The next day Billy's master went over in his car to the Humane Society. Soon Billy was in the car and his master drove him to the farm. There Billy was with his two brothers and his sister. There they are still living happily, but Billy has since then always respected the Humane Society. We must do so also. RoBER'r Harsox, IIIA THE JAIL BREAKER Once upon a time, in a little western town, there lived 21 depressed jail breaker. His trouble was that he had a rival who always beat him to it. So, he moved to another town, only to find that there was no jail. If I can't break jail , he said, 'cl IULIY as well give up . He sank into a morass of despair, and he toyed with the idea of self destruction. 134 THE ASHBURIAN Then he said - But some one might make a jail should there be some robberies. Yes . . . some robberies . Therefore, a crime wave of immense proportion developed in that town. Klerrily, the jail breaker stole everything that he could, but, alas, he seemed to have no success in his goal. And then, one day, a jail maker came to town - and the jail breaker saw that she was a girl, and that she Was a beautiful girl. He fell in love with the terrible way that she constructed jails, and, to keep her jails in the family, he married her. MORAL: Break, break, break from these cold grey stories, Oh me. COLIN MACFARLANE, IIIA XVHAT I THINK ABOUT THE VVORLD Why all this fuss about clothing? VVhy not Wear a blanket. It is simpler, easier and less expensive to wear a blanket. If everybody Wore blankets there would be no confusion about what to wear. TVhy live in houses? It is better to line a pit with Wood for metal if you are bothered about wormsj, and put a metal roof on it. I find school very annoying. People did not have it in the tenth century, so why have it now? VVho needs education anyway? Educa- tion is not necessary when no-one is educated. I think music and dancing are quite unnecessary. XV hat is wrong with climbing trees for amusement? These loathsome modern dances are enough to make anyone sick, and the old-fashioned ones are just as bad. Also this thing called f'Fashion should be stopped at all cost! The only purpose it serves is to turn fairly sensible human beings into Weak-m inded imbeciles. VVQ1en are they going to get rid of advertising? It is unbearable, especialy when a group of children dance through the countrvside singing about toilet paper.
