A' THE ASHBURIAN EDITORIAL Since the founding of Ashbury College as a private school for boys in 1891 there has been a continuing process of change and development. Each headmaster has taken the school a step forward and in doing so has left his mark on the school. A change of headmasters is therefore no small matter in the life of a school, and is invariably accompanied by mixed emotions. lt is our pleasure this year to welcome Mr. W. A. Joyce, D.S.O., lC.D., B.Sc., as our new headmaster, and the dominant mood has been and still remains one of excitement and optimism. Mr. Joyce has come to us after a distinguished military career and fourteen years experience as a teacher. He graduated from the Royal Military College in 1938 and the following year obtained a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Manitoba. During the Second IVorld VVar he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and retired with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He took up teaching in 1950, joining the staff of his old school, Appleby College, where his principal subjects were Mathematics and Physics to university level. He was deeply involved in many extra- curricular activities, serving as the Chief Instructor of the Cadet Corps, as the supervisor of the athletic programme and as coach of the Rugby, Hockey and Cricket teams. He was also for several years Senior House master, and yet found time to acquire a Permanent High School Assistant's CertiHcate. In 1964 Mr. Joyce went as an exchange master to a famous English boarding school, Tonbridge School in Kent. Apparently enjoying this experience, he went on to another, Uppingham School, the following year, during which time he was appointed by the governors to succeed Mr. Perry. As changes are inevitable, so are the misgivings that accompany them. The changes we have seen this year, however, such as the house reorganisation, the three-weekly academic achievement tests, the new marking scheme, the headmaster's Monday assemblies and other such reforms, though looked upon initially with some scepticism, have un- doubtedly proved their worth in practice. XYe hope that the following pages, which describe the achievements of the year, reflect the sense of purpose and the enthusiasm which have become apparent during its course. The school is settling into a new rhythm, rich in promise of achievement, and we offer Mr. .loyce and the school a toast: FLOREAT CC JLLILCIAF
