Perhaps it is the very magnitude of the challenge that impels us as a class to retreat into the obscurity of the impersonal we and the safety of the comfortable cliche. Nevertheless. it is with some sense of satisfac- tion that we now come to pen these words, for the writing of the editorial symbolizes not only the near completion of work on the annual, but also the conclusion of another school year. As you glance through the pages that follow, noting some familiar names or smiling at some revived memory, you will see that it has in the main been a good year. And it has been a good year, not because of the laurels that have or have not been won, but because of the vigorous spirit of co-operation and enthusiasm that has informed so much of the varied activity in which the School has engaged. In his Valedictory Address, Michael IYennberg has spoken aptly of the 'cclose-knit loyalties, responsi- bilities and memories of a continuing clan and of what these mean in the way of tradition. But tradition itself has only sentimental value unless, while keeping what is best, we continue to face the challenge of changing times and to build a healthy future upon the firm foundations of the past. I think that as you read through this year's Ashburian you will see that that is what we have been doing. In these pages, you will End all the customary and well-loved events of the Ashbury year: the Sports Dinner, the Cross Country, the Ceremonial Inspection, the Closing Day Ceremonies, but you will find also that it has been a year of innovations and expansion, particularly in regard to the extra-curricular life of the School. The space allotted to club activities alone refiects this growth. Among the major changes that have taken place were the creation of New House, under the care of Mr. Cf. XY. Thomson, and the re-organization of the school day to allow for the greatly expanded programme of clubs and activities. Other important innovations-were the creation of the post of Director of Music, ably filled by Nlr. Thomson, the inauguration of a School Bus service, the introduction of a new Deposit Account system for personal services, and the changes in the Smoking Regulations. But perhaps the most interesting and exciting of all the new things that happened in 1968 was the educational cruise through the Nlediterranean taken by some twenty of the boys under the supervsion of Xlr. Egan. It is to be 8 THE ASI-IBURIAN hoped that a trip of this nature will become one of the continuing traditions of the School. lYe have, this year, again witnessed a number of changes in staff. At the end of the Fall Term, we were sorry to lose the services of our resident Chaplain, the Reverend lan A. VVatson, who was appointed Headmaster of Purton Stoke School in Berkshire, England, and at the end of the year we bade farewell to our Matron, Mrs. Grant, and to several Masters, among them Messrs. Fudakowski, Goldsmith and Schovanek, whose loss will be keenly felt. Of those who joined us at the beginning of the year, most have found Ashbury congenial and have elected to stay with us. XVe should like here to say a very special welcome to Mr. Alexander, Mr. Laird, Mr. Somerville and Mr. Thomson, who have all made a very real contribution to the life of the School during this their first year with us. It remains now only to say a special word of farewell to our Graduating Class, and to wish those who are returning all good fortune in the coming year. THEASHHURI.-IN 9 SCHCDOL NQTES Inasmuch as many of the more interesting and important events of the school year have been described in some detail elsewhere in these pages, the notes that follow will be both brief and selective. lt is merely our intention here to give some indication of the course of events and the wide range of activity carried on through the year. FALL TERM - 1967 School opened on Monday, September llth, and as soon as the usual preliminaries were completed, work quickly got under way in the classroom and on the games Held. Thanksgiving M'eekend was celebrated by a spirited double- header with the Old Boys, the Old Boys' triumph in Football being justly balanced by a victory for the School Team in Soccer. A welcome variation of normal class routine was provided on Thursday, October 19th, when the Senior School gathered in Argyle to watch an educational television production of Hamlet . On Friday, November 17th, a Parents' Reception was held for the combined Senior and junior Schools. There was an excellent turn-out, and after an address by the Headmaster, parents had ample opportunity to interview individual Masters about their boys' progress. Refresh- ments were served later in the Dining Room. On Monday, November 20th, our Grade 13 team met their opposite numbers from Elmwood in the first round of this year's Reach for the Top . M'hether it was the distraction afforded by the charming competition or their natural gallantry that restrained them from diving for the button, no one can tell, but the Ashbury boys went down to defeat. Tuesday, November 28th, saw a school party visit the Confederation Caravan at Lansdowne Park. For those who had visited Expo, perhaps an anti-climax, but interesting nevertheless. ln December, it was announced that the Short property, adjoining the School grounds, had been purchased by an anonymous benefactor who was making it available for the School's use for the next Hve years. A variety of Chapel services marked the closing weeks of the term. Un December 9th, thirteen boys were confirmed at our annual Service of Conhrmationg on December 17th, an unusual service of Holy Communion was conducted by the Reverend Herbert O. Driscoll, Rector of St. tlohn's using the music from the American Episcopal Folk Mass, accompaniment being provided by instrumentalists from Ottawa 10 THE ASI-IBURIAN University, the Candlelight Carol Services were held on December 18th and 19th, the latter, for Parents and Friends, being particularly well attended. December 19th also saw the Christmas Dance in Argyle, a most enjoyable closing to the term. VVINTER TERM - 1968 The winter term saw not only a very heavy sports schedule but also the beginning of the re-organized programme for clubs and activities. On january 18th, the first meeting of the Foreign Affairs Club, instituted by the Headmaster. was well attended. Boys heard Mr. Barrett Parker, Director of the U.S. Information Service in Canada, give a most interesting lecture on the Involvement of the U.S.A. in Vietnam . On Sunday, February 4th, the College Choir was invited to sing at St. Stephen's Church, Buckingham. Their performance was much appreciated. Through January and February, the First Hockey played a number of away games against Stanstead, L.C.C., and Bishops, and wound up its season with an exciting and hard-fought game against the Old Boys on March 2nd, tying them 4-4. Skiing also was an important part of the winter programme, with m-eets at Sedbergh, Mount Orford and Camp Fortune. On March 14th, a very successful Sports Dinner marked the end of the fall and winter schedules. Awards and trophies were presented by Old Boy Bob Berry of the National Hockey Team. Anticipating the end of term by a few days, the uliurope '68 arty, under Mr.E an, lefton the first le ofits tri to the Mediterranean, P . g , g , P much to the envy of those who remained behind. SPRING TERM - 1968 On April Znd, the boys of Grade 13 had a foretaste of things to come with a tour of Carleton University. They heard several very interesting lectures and saw much of the university, but interest was not confined entirely to things academic. A group of girls from Flmwood accompanied us. April Sth saw the second Parents' Night. In addition to an address by the Headmaster and interviews with Staff, parents had an opportunity to sec the demonstrations in the Science Labs and the Art work produced by Mr. Goldsmith's classes. A separate Night was held for the junior School on April 10th. This was enlivened by a Gym Display organized by Mr. Stewart. THE.-1SHBURl.4N 11 The evenings of April 19th and 20th saw the culmination of much hard work in the joint production of I l.M.S. Pinaforcn at Iflmwood. A full and scrupulously impartial review appears elsewhere in these pages, but it was generally agreed to be a most successful and enjoyable performance. Also on April 20th, we saw a large contingent of Ashbury boys take part in the local Miles for Millions walk. Amongst those who finished the full gruelling forty miles were BLICHARZ, BABBITT and RILEYE ftluniorsl and RANKIN, CAIRNS, DURRETT and SMALL- IYOOD CSeniorsl. Babbitt held the distinction of being the youngest finisher in the whole Ottawa area. .lust a week later came the Cross Country, which, while no new records were set, produced generally very sound performances from the majority of those who took part. Sunday, May Sth, was the occasion of the annual Church Parade at St. Bartholomew's Church, and on Friday, May 10th, the Cadet Corps put on a fine display at the Ceremonial Inspection by Major General R. P. Rothschild, M.B.E., C.D. On the same evening, a very succesful Formal Dance was held in Argyle, changed beyond recognition by the efforts of the Dance Committee. The Inter-School Track Meet at Stanstead on May 18th was followed at the end of the month by the St. I.ambe1't's Track Meet, at which our Intermediate Relay Team won the Championship and established a new record. On Monday, june 3rd, just before the final examinations, the Senior School Public Speaking Competition was held before an interested audience, with Chris Harrison taking the award. june 12th, while Masters slaved over marking papers and preparing prize lists, was Iixpedition Day. Boys had the choice of visiting Cornwall fChalet Glass Company, and Robert Saunders Generating Stationl and Upper Canada Village, or touring the National Art Gallery and the Aero- nautical Laboratory of the N.R.C. Closing Day this year came on a weekday, june 13th, and despite the gloomy weather there was a fine turnout to see the award of prizes by the Guest of Honour, H. the Hon. Sir Leon Gotz. li.C.V.O.. and his charming lady. By the time the ceremonies were over, however, the sun struggled through, and the crowd gathering for refreshments and farewells on the front lawn was a colourful and happy sight. I2 THE ASHBURIAN CLUBS A D ACTI ITIES SCIENCE CLUB This year was a very successful one for the Science Club and all its members. Although the attendance varied through the year, the members were Ashton, Carlton, Cornett, Kenny, Martin, Urban, Osmond, Peterson, Schofield, XYhitwill and VVilson. Some of the experiments performed by members were the following: Martin, who has flitted like an intellectual butterHy from one Hower of science to another, began a series of electrolytic experiments with a variety of solites, but soon transferred to watching crystals form and grow under the microscope. Then the water from his aquarium was found to be a source of micro-organisms. XYearying of watching them, he turned to a yeast and sugar fermentation, and finally distilled enough alcohol to inebriate several butterflies. Peterson's Hrst experiment was the distillation of XV21tC1'. He watched the water distillation for three periods of the Science Club. Then, using a solution of yeast, sugar and water at 42 degrees Centigrade, he made alcohol. He let it sit upon a high shelf for two weeks, then he Hltered the solution through some Hlter paper. He then began to distill the alcohol using a Leibig condenser. As a result of the distillation, Peterson obtained a quarter beakerful of alcohol. Over the Easter Holidays a fungus formed in the alcohol as a result of the presence of a spore in the air. Soon after Schofield joined the Club, he set up the experiment for the production of hydrogen gas by passing steam through hot iron Hlings. He carried on this experiment for several weeks, but without producing any hydrogen gas. He believes the trouble was that the filings were not hot enough. His next experiment was to investigate the properties of oxygen in the combustion of non-metals. Unlike the previous experiment, this took only one session of the club and was entirely successful. His last experiment, an attempt to demonstrate the extreme solubility of ammonia by the use of an 'fAmmonia Fountain was, regrettably, another failure. VVhitwill has spent many hours on a single project: the destructive distillation of sawdust. Throughout the year, he has patiently and laboriously destructively distilled fourteen test-tubes full of sawdust. lle obtained and burned large quantities of wood gas. He now has a considerable amount of wood fall' and is occupied with the fractional distillation of a promising mixture of oils from the same source. U'hen THE.f1SHBL'RI.4.Y 13 it was found that the boiling point of water was not high enough to vaporise the oils, M'hitwill used a bath of old motorcycle oil to raise the temperature. Cornett gave helpful assistance to the members of the Club, and for the first term acted as Club Secretary. Although he did no practical chemistry, he occupied himself reading chemistry books on more theoretical areas. On May 23, Mr. Byford tool: three members of the Club to the Museum of Science and Technology. Despite the fact that Martin. Schofield and XYhitwill had all been to the museum at least once before, they found this visit very interesting and informative. In the Physics Section there were several new exhibits demonstrating basic principles such as refraction, refiection, and harmonic motion. Another section in the museum demonstrated how little we could trust our senses. As you will have seen in these paragraphs, the varying scope and success of our activities made for a verv interesting year. . 'C' . S. M HITXVILL PHOTDGRAPHY CLUB New to Ashbury this year, the Photography Club spent much of its time and energy setting up a fully equipped darkroom and training its members in the science and art of taking and processing photographs. Several school events, including sports and dances, were covered by club members. Enthusiasm was not limited to members, as many students requested the club to process their films. Members for 1967-68 were: David Ku CPresidentJ, Andrew Johnston CYice-Presidentj. Richard Glickman CSecretary-Treasurerj, Allan Macdonald, Gerard Wilson, Sydney Milanslcy, David Durrett, Martin Connell, Thomas Bates. Mr. Schovanek was Moderator. j.G.S. DRIVERS' TRAINING Now in its second year, the Ashbury Driver Training Course again proved a great success. Enrolled this year were Carl Aboud, Andrew Ashton, David Durrett, Richard Glickman, Bruce Goldie. Keltie Kennedy, Murray Lee, Robert McArthur, john McColl, David McNaughton, Michael Peterson and Charles Schofield. All the boys were successful in obtaining an Ontario Drivers Licence, after completing the twenty-Five hours of classroom instruction in safe driving techniques and six hours of in-car' practice. Special certificates were awarded those who met all the requirements of the course. Mr. Schovanelt was the staff organizer, and Mr. N. Boudreau of Merivale High School taught the course. ics. 14 THE ASHBURIAN BOXING CLUB '68 The newly formed boxing club, coached by Mr. Byford, enjoyed an exciting year. The club met on Tuesday nights from five to six o'clock. The meeting usually involved fifteen minutes of drill, followed by three quarters of an hour of sparring. Despite a few fat lips, I'm sure everyone really enjoyed the boxing, and we are all looking forward to a bigger and better club next year. The members were: Charlie fthe Kidj Perlman, Steve fthe Bearj Budovitch, Deadly Dave Durrett, Murray Lee, Fred fthe Killerj Blaumann, Charlie fthe Rockj Barnes, Paul Hamilton fMr. I-Iardj, and Doug fthe Proj Vingoe. D. VINGOE IVEIGHT TRAINING CLUB The Club at first was very small, because the idea of hard work did not appeal to many. However, within two weeks, our membership of iron men increased to nearly forty. This unfortunately was too many and had to be cut down. In only a few months many of the lighter boys gained eight to ten pounds, while the heavier boys lost about the same. There is no doubt that this activity should be continued. It is invaluable for building strength, flexibility, and confidence. It also helps the power of mental concentration. I enjoyed introducing this new activity and I appreciated the enthusiasm displayed by the students. j.L.G. RIDING CLUB The riding academy in Ashbury had a good start from the 19th of September. Last year, only Seniors were allowed to participate, but this year juniors were permitted to ride on Saturday afternoons, and Seniors in the mornings. In sixteen Saturdays, two hundred and twenty- one juniors rode, and in ten Saturdays, Hfty-four Seniors. Riding was carried on throughout fall and earQy spring. They rode in sunshine, rainstorms, sleet, and heavy snow falls. The gentle- man's sport had to be learnt the hard way, by the juniors especially. One cannot recall one Saturday not having at least one, and sometimes as many as three riders, dismounting his horse without his consent. Riding should have a good future in the years to come because it occupies enjovably one of the days in a Boarder's weekend. P F THE ASHBURIAN If RIFLE CLUB Early in the school year, the Rifie Club was formed, under the supervision of Mr. De Corcuera. Regular members were: Dollin CPresidentD, Ellis, Laidler, Yaxley, De Dardel, Rothwell and Mac- donald. In addition the club attracted a number of part-time marks- men at various times. Once the rifles had been sighted in, many hours were spent on Thursdays in the rifie range under the gym. i A highlight of the Easter Term was the match against the Masters. Each side fielded a, team of seven. The Masters were defeated by a comfortable margin of -I-7 points, the Club Team scoring 1217 out of a possible 1400. Top scorer of the afternoon, however, was Mr. Joyce. Towards the end of the Easter Term, the Boarders took on Connaught House, but Connaught was victorious. On the second last weekend in May, a final match was held at the Rothwell Range to find the best marksman in the Club. Around sixty targets were Hred at, over ranges of 25, 30, and 100 yards. First, second, and third places went respectively to Dollin, Laidler and Yaxley. The Rifie Club thanks Mr. De Corcuera for his careful supervision during all shooting, and for his encouragements which helped us to make it a very enjoyable year of targetry. G. ROTHXN'ELI, FOLK CLUB XVednesday and Thursday afternoons, a few guitar pickers like Atcheson, Cook and Mr. Alexander would gather in Room D to pick songs, discuss folk music, and even attempt to sing. Listeners and other enthusiasts would come and go. A comedy concert was given at Christmas which was more fun than demonstration of any particular skill. But Alexander's Ragged- Time Bandl' was challenged by an offspring of the Folk Club, The Ashbury Tea Party and Experimental jug Band Gian, Petersons I and II, Barrios, Tyas and Turtonb to a public competition at the end of the Winter Term. The Tea Party and jug Band entertained at Elmwood on February 24, their music was apparently well appreciated. Unfor- tunately, the loss of their drummer broke up the group. The Folk Club, meanwhile, with the addition of some pretty enthusiasts from Elmwood, practised for their own concert, which was eventually held the night of the Sports Dinner in Argyle. And was enjoyed. PA..-X. I6 THE ASHBURIAN THE TURKISH CLUB This year Ashbury introduced at least a score of extra-curricular activities. Among the more exotic of these was the Turkish Club. It was the brainchild of Hr. Somerville, the Senior French Master. During the war, Mr. Somerville spent some time in the Middle East, especially in Turkey. Finding it akin to French, he soon picked up the Turkish language. XYhen the masters were pressed into forming different societies, Nlr. Somerville initiated the first Turkish Club Ashbury has known. The club was composed of a select few, about five or six. The members attended the weekly rally after classes on Thursday. Club time was devoted to learning Turkish phrases and vocabulary, and even a little grammar. It was not long before the members of the brotherhood greeted each other with a cheerful 'Lhoz geldinezn Cpro- nounced hosh geldeenezj. The class also learned a bit about the customs and daily life of the Turks. For example, it was soon discovered that the Turkish people are very civilized. The Turkish male escapes from his wife for a few hours by having tea at the local teahouse Qwhere women are forbidden, of courseb, followed up with a few drags on the hookah. In all, there were about six or seven meetings during the lVinter Term. The Hnal meeting was spent listening to recorded Turkish folk-songs and dances. lYith Mr. Somerville's unique guidance, the class graduated with flying colours. R. HALUPKA THE.-1SHBL'RI.4.N' 1? CHAPEL OTES The departure of the Reverend lan A. XYatson at Christmas necessitated certain changes in the organization of the Chapel Calendar for the year, most notably the advancing of the Service of Confirmation from the Spring to the Fall Term. The service was conducted on the evening of Saturday, December 9th, by the Right Reverend Ernest Reed, Bishop of Ottawa. Presented for Coniirmation at this time were: Richard Lloyd Bennett, Bryan Alexander Boyd, Christopher lfdward Carter, Peter .IeiTrey Stuart Graham, Richard Grant Luciani, Allan Hugh Macdonald, Steven Roy Nlacdonald. Brian .Nlartyn Aleech, Llewellyn Sifton Smith, Alexander john Stiles, Walter Gerard Rowclifife XYilson, Eric Lindsay Yaxley, David Thomas Yaxley. The first Com- munion for these boys newly connrmed was also most kindly conducted by His Grace the next morning, Sunday, December 10th. i The Candlelight Carol Service for Parents and Friends on December 19th was again verv well attended this year, as were most other special services.

Our thanks are due to our servers, to our Choir Mothers, and to all those who have contributed to the smoothness with which the services have generally been conducted. but most especially to the Reverend john Hilton, Chaplain-Elect for the University of Ottawa, who very kindly stepped in after Christmas as part-time Chaplain. CHAPEL MUSIC There is no doubt that the standard of singing in the Chapel has improved steadily during the past year. This is partially due to the congregational practices, which were held every week at first, but have not been so regularly necessary lately. At these practices a large number of new Cto Ashburyj hymns has been learnt, and I want to thank all students for their co-operation and enthusiasm at all the practices. I think I can say, without irreverence, that we have had some profitable fun on Thursday afternoons. The Choir has enlarged in scope and size, and has made good progress, which would, however, have been better still if practice times were easier to find, and if et'e1 v member attended regularly and without constant reminders. IYC shall need more seniors next year, and I have THE ASHBURIAN I9 my eye fand early on several members of the congregation whose talents on Thursday afternoons would be put to much better use in the Choir stalls. Meanwhile, much has already been achieved. XYc can at last sing the responses in four-part harmony which is both unaccompanied and recognizable! lYe have learnt settings of the canticles which are now so firmly established that any attempt to vary them INCCIS with protesting cries of lYhy can't we stick to the old chants, sir? XYC have sung one or two anthems and one or two descants. XYe have sung an away match at Buckingham, and have been invited to do another at Galetta. So things are looking up. The final rehearsals for the Carol Services were so encouraging that We felt conndent that we were going to sail through an ambitious programme with flying colours. Then fate struck us a cruel blow- a sort of gastric 'flu bug ran amok through the School, and the choir was so badlv hit that the Hnal result was a shadow of what it might Cand probably wouldj have been. Even so, those who were still on their feet carried on manfully, and tae services appear to have given much pleasure. lYe owe a debt of gratitude to the Choir Mothers, who not only look after the maintenance of our robes but also turn up before every service to ensure that we put them on properly! G.VV.T. 20 THE ASHBURIAN DRAMA H.M.S. PINAFOREU Throughout most of the Fall and VV inter Terms the School became accustomed to hearing lunch-time notices about rehearsals for H.M.S. Pinaforen - and it is safe to assume that quite a number of boys had no idea what was going on. All became clear on April 19 and 20th when the Ashbury-Elmwood production of this ever-popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta was at last staged at Elmwood before enthusiastic and appreciative audiences. It must be said at once that the result of the long weeks of labour added up to a brave and praiseworthy first attempt at a piece on such a large scale, and that much of the performance was faithful to the spirit fif not always to the letterj of Gilbert and Sullivan. Musically, the soloists were generally accurate, and so were the girls of the chorus, the boys, however, were too often unsure of their notes and we heard much weird subterranean duplication of the soprano part! But what the sailors lacked in accuracy they more than atoned for in vigour, exuberance and projection, the girls, by contrast, seemed rather inhibited and lacking in volume - even so, their singing and their appearance were both very sweet! There was too often a lack of liaison between piano C which did duty for an orchestra, in the capable hands of Mrs. Lorna Harwood-jonesj and singers- and between the singers themselves, in spite of the frenzied efforts of the conductor fMr. Geoffrey Thomsonj. Une would have expected him to have lost pounds, but alas .... Now a few words about individual performances. Dawn Har- wood-Jones was excellent as Little Buttercup, she was particularly successful with her ogling of the sailors and her coquettish manner with them fone almost felt that experience might be helping herelj, and her singing and acting generally left nothing to be desired, apart from a tendency to drag out her recitatives. john McColl made a splendid Bill Bobstay, and his high-powered performance of He is an English- man was a major highlight which stopped the show and brought the house down! Ted -lanke was equally successful as Dick Deadeye- ugly, villainous and coarse-voiced, he was a cross between Lon Chaney and Charles Laughton, and he could hardly be faulted, musically or dramatically. Robert Millar as Ralph Rackstraw, the romantic lead, had a far more difficult task - he was generally very convincing and he certainly looked the part, but some of his scenes with Josephine lacked naturalness. and his speech was not always clear, his singing, however, was probably the best of the evening, apart from occasional sharpness. Captain Corcoran, as played by David NlcNaughton, moved rather 3, GL Y 4 GM ug, N-45 ab Y 'v1 mM,,,,,mw, '-- -fm. , 5 -T Mm ' A ' ' ' ' 1 - , ,H . Q A Q I . V 1 A i . 9 Y .4 .

J. Beverley Erlandson as Josephine looked marvellous and acted well- vocally she seemed ill at ease, especially in her upper register, but she evinced far more warmth and affection to Ralph than he to her! Philip Loftus portrayed Sir joseph Porter as a namby-pamby, affected and effeminate First Lord of the Admiralty, this part is open to other interpretations, but this one was perfectly valid and was beautifully sustained. And Elizabeth Tanczyk made more than one would ever have believed possible of the tiny and nondescript Part of Cousin Hebe. Movement and grouping got by, but only just, they were too often unimaginative and awkward. The set was simple but effective, and surmounted most of the limitations imposed by the very small stage. Lighting was not very good, but we gather that the man in charge was ill and unable to be present at the final rehearsals and the performances. Costumes and make-up were entirely satisfactory. There may be some readers who loved every minute of the show and who will regard this as an over-critical review, so let it be said now that the total impact of the performance was great and the audience's enjoyment even greater, because of this it was felt that anythng less than an attempt at serious criticism would have been an insult to the standards reached for Cand, in large measure, attainedl by all who took part. ffH.M.S.

Every form has one period each week, the main object is to assist boys in listening intelligently and appreciatively to good music. There are no marks, tests or examinations, it was felt that such things would defeat the purpose of the classes. At Hrst the classes were held in the Library, but eventually the constant breakdowns of the otherwise very fine hi-fi system proved too much, and the scene of operations moved to the Director of Musie's own room. There, everything is to hand: a stereogram, a piano, a large record collection and a fairly comprehensive collection of music. Moreover, the intimate atmosphere of a private sitting-room is preferable, even though there is a good deal of over-crowding, and seating is not available for everyone! The first attempt at forming a Music Club was not very successful, but support will probably improve as more boys come to realise that good music is for everyovle, and not merely the preserve of the elderly and the staid! VVe hope very much to increase the scope of musical activity as time goes on. Possibilities include instrumental teaching Cindividually and in groupsj, more combined choral performances Cnot necessarily operaticj with Elmwood, occasional recitals by visiting players and singers land ultimately by the boys themselvesj, visits to concerts in the city, and so on. Ashbury could become one of the most musical schools in Canada, this is every bit as worthy an objective as producing champion teams in sports, and it is hoped that every boy who has ever enjoyed a Hpopl' record Cand who hasn7t?D will realise that he has it in him to widen his musical horizons by listening with an open mind to other and more enduring things, if he then goes on to trying his hand at practical music wzaleivzg Cas a singer andfor playerb, we shall be well on the way to achieving the goal mentioned at the beginning of this excessively long sentence! G.XV.T. THEASHBURIAN 25 SCI-ICDCDL DANCES ln terms of enjoyment, the IJQISI year's dances were among the best held at Ashbury. During the Fall Term we had three dances, including a Christmas semi-formal in co-ordination with lflmwood. In order to raise finances for the formal, we held two less costly record hops during the winter term. We also profited from a hockey lottery and several car washes. Because of the rising prices of bands, We would suggest that next year's dance committee embark on a fund raising program from the beginning of the year. In order to provide them C next year's Committee! with a small start, this year's Committee along with the Graduation Class has donated one hundred dollars in care of the Form Council. We hope that this will be put to good use, not only for dances but for other worthy purposes as well. The dance year was closed with the annual Formal. held for the first time in several years at the school, on May 10th. Entertainment was provided by the Lew Kirton Soul Revue . To quote the Beatles, A wonderful time was had by all! We would like to thank all those responsible for organization and decoration. We must also thank everyone else who in so many little Ways made this year a success. Finally, we want to wish the school the best of luck for next year and hope that the dances will be bigger and better in 1968-1969.

NNUAL CERE QNIAL INSPECTIO TRAINING The training programme for cadets during the past year has under- gone a change in emphasis if not in content. From the old-time programme of drill, drill, and then more drill, we switched this year to a greater variety of subjects, including visits to the new VVar Museum on Sussex Street and the Air Museum at Rockcliffe. These trips proved to be quite popular and opened the eyes of our younger cadets. Some interesting lectures were heard, including one by our own Mr. Byford on lixplosives. Mr. Byford is something of an expert in this lield and certainly made the cadets sit up and take notice. The movie selection this year was slanted towards the various modes of transportation in the services and was of interest to most cadets. The pieces de resistance, however, proved to be the occasions when the corps took to tactical exercises in the snow. These were conducted with great gusto and high spirits, at least by the more hardy types! Of course, there was still some drill to be done, and a good deal of noise-making by the band before the big day arrived. X ,LJ , A 5 fvfl , fe X4 , 2, Zh ,. Y . SY . Spanx .

The Cadet Corps, reduced by one platoon from former years, was formed up on the parade grounds awaiting the arrival of the Inspecting Officer, Major-General R. P. Rothschild, at 2 p.m. The many spectators had settled on the bank in anticipation of the start of the afternoons proceedings. As per schedule, the Nlaior-General met the Headmaster on the front lawn and inspected the Guard of Honour. The inspecting party then made their way on to the parade ground, taking a General Salute. Cadet Major R. Nlillar introduced himself and invited the General to inspect the Corps. The afternoons programme was now oflicially under way. After the inspection, permission was granted to carry on with the ceremonial part of the parade, whereupon the Corps, under the Cadet .Nlajor's command, moved to the right in threes . The Corps marched past in Column and in Column of Route. to the playing of the School Band. It may he noted that this was the first year the hand had played throughout the Ceremonial. Under the direction of the Chief Instruc- tor, they did a praiseworthy ioh and are to he warmly congratulated. THEASHBURIAX 29 l'S:iz,',4 --qi 1- z? .ff!.,.

Because of the diiiiculty in getting help with teas, sales and raffles, the executive committee decided to suggest the change, for a trial one- year period, to the membership at a Fall mid-term luncheon provided by the school. It was voted on and approved that another luncheon be held at Winter mid-term and fees increased to S5 to provide income since money usually provided by teas etc. would not be forthcoming. At the second and final luncheon, projects to be undertaken were approved as follows: 1. Cheque to the headmaster for carpet, credence table, bible etc. for the chapel - 545000. 2. Prizes: Bursary increased to S35 0.00. Mothers' Guild Prizes for Junior School and Middle School - Sl5.00. Thanks to donations of furniture and a great deal of time bv members of the guild, badly-worn chairs, tables, etc., were replaced in the prefects' common room and a thank you letter from the head boy expressed the students' gratitude for the improvement. Hasti-notes showing Ashbury's Chapel were on sale at the luncheon. It was announced they would be available at various school functions during the year as well as through the guild convener.

I i , 'O HI!! - l THE SPORTS DINNER The Sports dinner was held this year on Nlarch 1-lth and proved to be a most enjoyable end to the winter term. Naturallv, the sports dinner is held primarily to honour the top athletes of the school, but this year the accent was not all on sports as a new note of interest was added. Instead of one main speaker from the world of sports we were able to arrange for an extra guest speaker. This was Mr. Bruce Turner, from the Department of Lands and Forests, who turned out to be an authority on the subject of wolves and in particular the species that inhabit our Province of Ontario. Klr. Turner gave an enlightening and very down to earth talk on the habits of these animals, drawing from his own personal studies and observations. Some of his anecdotes were quite amusing and obviously eve-openers for the students. Our second guest speaker was, of course, from the world of sport and turned out to be Nlr. Bob Berrv. an Old Bov, who had just completed a season of hockev with Canada's National team based in Ottawa. Bob THE XIOST VALLABLE PLAYERS for r.

FOOTBALL The First and Second Teams had an extremely good building year. The Seconds unfortunately were outclassed in their games this year. They will be better prepared next year. The First Team was more successful. Although, finally, it was a losing season of four wins and five losses, the team managed to end the season with four straight wins. llad the early season game against the young Old Boys' Team been played at this point, it might have had an entirely different result. The team ended the season with great enthusiasm and the will to play more games, even in snow. lf the nineteen rookies who will form the nucleus of next year's team maintain this attitude, the prospects for next year are bright.

The departure from the school of some eight first team stalwarts naturally did not help matters. Those remaining members of the Championship team found difficulty in adjusting to new positions and the season was almost half over by the time the team started to play as a unit. However, having lost our first four league games followed by our first ever defeat at the hands of Stanstead, we Hnally got on to the winning trail. Five games and five wins later we were actually in a position to make the play-offs and perhaps CPD go all the way once again. This was not to be, however, and in our second play-off game we were well beaten by a fine team from Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School. Special credit must go to Russ Armitage in goal and for his fine efforts he was presented with the Host Valuable Player Award. Bob Millar once again proved to be a good team captain and was greatly responsible for the fine rally made by the team towards the end of the season. lst. team colours were also awarded to Philip Loftus and lan Mackenzie for their play over the past two or three seasons. XYith several good players returning in the fall perhaps we can look forward to greater success and enjoyment in 1968. R.j.A. SECOND SOCCER TEAM - 1967-1968 Back Row: B. A. Boyd. R. NI. Carlton, G.

SKI TEAM '68 Some eighteen or so boys chose skiing as an activity at the end of the Autumn Term, but training runs and exercises gradually cut down the squad to the real enthusiasts. By the middle of january, cross- country ski training around the property and night-skiing at Camp Fortune were well under Way. One long sunny Sunday was spent in Alpine training at Mont Ste. Marie. Ashbury was well represented at the junior Varsity Meet by the second squad: Goldie, Maclaren, Herington, Cook and McNaughton. Martin, the team manager, who Won a brief glory by becoming not only Ashbury's but also Ottawa's Hrst ski accident of the season, was hobbling about on crutches, picking up competition forms, taking pictures, and timing the team. Smith, the first team captain, took the boys on a preview of the cross-country course, and Cairns, our Alpine expert, Went up the Slalom and Giant Slalom courses pointing out the difiiculties. In the Cross-Country Race, Cook made a magnificent effort, coming in eleventh out of a field of some seventy racers. Herington, despite asthmatic problems, gave it his best, as did Maclaren and Goldie. McNaughton had to drop out because of a ski that persisted in falling off. In the Giant Slalom Competition, we did rather well, but the downfall came in the Slalom which disqualified the team because not enough of our boys made the course. lVe took comfort, however, in the fact that only five or six teams qualihed in this race. Over all, Ashbury came in seventh out of thirteen teams. The high point of the season was the Tri-School Meet at Gwl's Head in the Eastern Townships. Our opponents were Bishops, L.C.C., Stanstead anti St. john's Ravenscourt from Vl'innipeg. Saturday saw us up early, and one of the First teams on the hill examining the long, tight and diflicult slalom course, at which we were to have two runs. Cairns' THEASHIJURI.-IN 39 first run was a fast bash , which got him fourth place. Don ujack- .tabbited down the hill. and Nlaclaren, Smith and Goldie put on as much speed as they could handle without disqualifying themselves. The Giant Slalom that afternoon gave us some bad moments, but we were comforted by the knowledge that we had ended the day with more points than Stanstead and neck and neck with St. -lohn's Ravencourt. Sunday was another brilliantly sunny day, and the team was tense, preparing for the Cross-Country Race. Cairns and Don were the two SUITS of this event, though the whole team put forth their best. Final results were: Bishops 1088.2 points L.C.C. 1083.3 points Ashbury 962.0 points St. john's 957.8 points Stanstead 739.6 points Ashbury had placed for the first time in five years. A triumphant dinner was held at the Steak Barn outside Ottawa. Representing Ashbury in the Tri-School Nleet were: Smith I CCaptainD, Cairns, Niac- laren, Don, Paterson and Goldie. There remained one more major meet, the Dalton 'XVood on March 3-5, and the boys went into hard training in preparation. Ashbury was represented by Smith I CCaptainJ, Cairns, Paterson, Don, Berger I, and VVhyte. The team got up to Camp Fortune early Saturday morning and immediately toured the Cross-Country Run. IV e then rushed to change our equipment and get over to the Upper Canadian Hill to examine the Giant Slalom Course. By this time the wind had risen, heavy grey clouds covered the sky, and the temperature had dropped. The hill was covered with hard packed snow, black ice, and crackling slalom Hags. The boys did rather well in this competition: Cairns, Paterson and Don speeding down on the very edge of control, spending half their run in the air, while Smith. Berger I and XVhyte concentrated on making the course to qualify the team. That afternoon, the Cross- Country Competition taxed the team to their limit. Sedbergh beat us, but we found ourselves holding about seventh place. Sunday was bright, windy, and extremely cold. The Slalom Competition was held on Slalom Hill, which was largely boiler-plate ice and iron-hard crust. The plan now was not to try for speed, but simply make the course. The boys did their best, but falls and- other bad luck took their toll. At the end of Sunday, we calculated our position as somewhere around eleventh. A Thanks should be given to Nlessrs Fgan, Laird, Fudakowski and Anderson who helped transport the squad to and from the hills, and to Mr. Vincent, whose carpentry talents were employed in the repair of damaged skis.

Canada's fastest growing winter sport had Hnally assumed its rightful place as an important addition to our sports programme. It would be less than truthful to say that the advent of curling at Ashbury was received with boundless enthusiasm. However, like many a slow starter, this great game gradually gained a measure' of support and, at the end of the season, we were all convinced that curling was here to stay. Twenty-four potential Brian, skips took to the ice at the R.C.M.P. Curling Club in late fall, and what was lacking in finesse was more than made up for by enthusiasm. Mr. Somerville was a staunch supporter of our new venture and was always on hand with words of encourage- ment and praise. The season had a number of highlights. Commodore Rossls talk on the etiquette of the game was both interesting and instructive. Apparently the interest of the boys impressed the Commodore as he was kind enough to invite us to curl in a friendly match against himself and some friends at the Rideau Curling Club. Needless to say, we placed in the hnal results, but the games were much enjoyed. Nlr. Joyce, our Headmaster, kindly arranged home and away games with two teams from Lakeheld College. Although Ashbury failed to gain a victory, the games were close and exciting. Now, with the return of Spring, brooms and sweaters are placed away to await the cool of autumn, when once again the cry of Sweep! Sweep! will fill the rinks, as Ashbury boys once more take up the GL ' 17 roaring game . P. PARKER I' I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I THEASHBURIAN -II M Yin TRACK TEAM- 1967-1968 Back Row: R. A.

Its performance was noteworthy, not merely in terms of the stardom of one or two individuals but more especially for the enthusiasm and participation of all members of the team. To start off the season, we placed seventh in the Ottawa Relays. Later we entered the IYestern 'Section in the Ottawa High School competition, and had several qualify for the city finals. From the finals we had three members reach the Ottawa Valley Meet CE.O.S.S.A.I. Our biggest success this year was in Montreal at the G.M.I.A.A. meet. Taking part against twenty-six other schools, Ashbury placed in the top live. Led by Chris Smith. who won the Intermediate 100, 220, andianchored the record-breaking relay race for a total of three wins, the team achieved a fifty-one point total. ' Ashbury should be proud of all the members of the Track Team. They all showed plenty of courage and determination. qualities strongly developed by Track and Field.

CRICKET This year, due perhaps to the introduction of compulsory Track and Field, large numbers of boys played cricket. Since the season was not long enough to attain high standards, the aim, best expressed by Mr. Anderson, was to have fun, give everybody a bit of a game, and to learn something . Enthusiasm ran moderately high, and net practices, when not interfering with affairs of the heart at the bottom of the hill, were well attended. Mr. Byford often put in an appearance and, though he claimed the stumps were just a blur to him, still managed to take a high number of wickets. The practices in uthe middle , usually before a game, were more popular and, from the point of team play, more useful. The Hrst match, a home game, was played against the 0.V.C.C. juniors. XVe lost the toss and batted hrst. Lots of mistakes were made, but steady batting by Harrison, who knocked up twenty-three runs, gave us a respectable score of forty-five. In the Held, surprisingly tight fielding and good wicket keeping by Armitage kept the runs down, and the final wicket fell at thirty-seven, to give us the first win of the season. THE ASHBURIAN 43 A week later, we played Sedbergh at home. livcrvone was in better condition, and outstanding bowling by Nlulancr, who took six wickets, had Sedbergh all out for forty. The batting was probably the best seen all season. Harrison and Nlulaner retired after thirty runs in under fifteen minutes, and we lost four wickets for seventy- three runs. i A return match played at Sedbergh was also won. lt rained heavily throughout and bowling, especially spin bowling, was difficult. In batting, Harrison knocked up thirty-four before a poor length ball took his wicket. The Hnal score: 65-58. The Masters, somewhat ill-advisedly, challenged the School. Surreptitious net practice availed them nought, and an enjoyable after- noon of play resulted in a complete and utter victory for the School. The Masters were all out for thirty-six, and the School retired at fifty. The final match of the year was against the Old Boys. Former thorns in Bishops' side came back to show their prowess. XV e batted a respectable ninety-seven, and the best the Old Boys could do against varied bowling fthe whole team bowledj was sixty-seven. A spec- tacular catch by Harrison at cover enlivened the game. Our most sincere thanks go to Ted Marshall for all his hard work as groundsman and enthusiastic support. This has been one of the better cricket seasons in the last few years, and we hope that this new enthusiasm and success will move the powers that be to reinstate the traditional Bishops matches. P. Lorrcs CROSS-COUNTRY Postponed from the Fall term due to bad weather, the Cross-Country races were held at the late date of Saturday, April 27th. The delay proved worthwhile, however, as all boys were given plenty of practice time and the 27th turned out to be ideal cross-country weather, sunny but cool. Although the winning times produced no new records the extra practice paid off in that very few boys appeared exhausted at the finish. Another factor to play a part in the good condition of the runners was that many of them had taken part on the previous Saturday in the OXFAM march and so this was only a short hike in comparison.

The weather was poor, and the combination of soggy track and stiff breezes offered little hope of establishing any new records, but a number of spirited performances were turned in, among them the close tussles between Gaskell and Durrett in the Intermediate 880, and Smith and VVatts in the Senior 100 and 220. Maintaining the tradition established last year, the concluding event was the Invitation 440 Yard Relay in which a scratch Cverylj Staff team competed against teams of Prefects, Room Captains, Monitors and Senior Boys. Needless to say, the Staff team did not win, but were again consoled with the presentation by Nlr. Joyce of a bottle of beer to each member. Our thanks go to Gene Gaines of the Ottawa Rough Riders who kindlv came along to present the genuine awards.

The weather, for once, was poor, and throughout the morning, while the final races of the Sports were being run off, many a wary eye was cast at the lowering skies which seemed to threaten rain at any moment. But the rain held off, the massed banks of flowers around the platform made a brave display, and parents and friends, undaunted, Hlled the quadrangle. After the chapel service for the graduating students, the annual prize-giving programme was opened by Mr. Donald Maclaren, Chair- man of the Board of Governors, with a short speech of welcome to the guests. The Headmaster then gave a brief summary of the year's activities, after which he introduced the Captain of the School, Michael VVennberg, whose V aledictory Address is printed on the following page. The Guest of Honour this year was His Excellency the Honourable Sir Leon Gotz, K.C.V.O., High Commissioner for New Zealand, who was assisted by his charming wife in the presentation of Memorial Prizes and Special Awards. In his address, Sir Leon spoke eloquently and amusingly of the tribulations of his own early days at boarding school on the Continent, and successfully bridged the gap of years between himself and his Cmainlyb youthful audience. By the time all prizes had been presented and the Chairman had made his closing remarks, the sun was shining through once more, and the large assembly of guests was able to enjoy at leisure the refreshments served from the open marquee on the front lawns. THE ASHBURIAN 47 VALEDICTORY ADDRESS by AIICHAEL D. XYi3NNl:i111c Mr. Chairman, Your Excellency, Lady Gotz, Distinguished Members of the Board of Governors, Honoured Guests, Headmaster, Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of Staff, Fellow Students: I began my school life at Ashbury College as a timid, but not-so- small, ninth grader. Everywhere I turned in this strange new school were either the long black gowns of Masters or the dark red coats of Prefects. Nevertheless, despite my withdrawal from all this authority, friends were made rapidly, and these friendships have lasted right up until to-day. For my first three years at Ashbury I was a Day Boy. But the years I think I shall remember most clearly at Ashbury will be those I spent as a Boarder-a change, I might add, necessitated by the lVennberg family's move to Saint john, New Brunswick. Saint John, as you may or may not know, is the only city in North America with a Volkswagen on its police force. Living with seventy other students for close to three quarters of the year, no person could help but form friendships far stronger than those made between students who arrive at 8.45 in the morning and leave at 5.00 in the evening. Only on a boarding house Hat could secret water fights, interspersed with squirts of shaving cream, be found. Of course water-squirting is not the only training students receive at Ashbury. They also learn how to accept discipline. not only through the Masters, Prefects and Room Captains, but also through Cadets. U on first entering the School, thev show the standard resentment P . D . , and frustration towards the apparently over-regimented atmosphere. Students ask: IYhy must we take games every afternoon? IYhy must we go to Chapel every morning? IYhy must we all wear the same dress? and XYhy must we take Cadets? They hear much of tradi- tion, and it probably means very little -at least during the first few years- other than somethin to be scoffed at. However, bv the time .W S . -AY THE ASHBURIAN the average student comes to where we are to-day, the Graduation Ceremony, his views have changed considerably, and perhaps un- consciously. He discovers, perhaps to his surprise, that he is no longer fighting the system - he has become a part of it. And he has become a part of it because he has helped to build it and sustain it. And it is with some real pride that he hands over his own part in the keeping of this tradition to those who come after. But that is by no means the end of it, for if the School has really meant something to him, and if he has meant something to the School, then in the years to come he will be able to return here and still feel that he belongs. He is not, as is so often the ease with his less fortunate counterpart in the public system, merely a face among hundreds so soon to be forgotten. He is one of a continuing clan who shares in all the close-knit loyalties, responsibilities and memories of those who have known Ashbury as THEIR School. Inevitably, those experiences freshest in my mind belong to this last year I spent at Ashbury. Nearly all the School Teams got off to slow starts this year, at Hrst chalking up surprisingly few victories. However, as the season progressed, our teams became more and more sure of themselves and soon began to bring home the laurels. ln this respect, the Ashbury-Bishops game in Football, the Old Boys' Game in Hockey, and the St. Lambertls meet in Track and Field were good examples of team effort against terrific odds, ending in success or near success. For the first term at least, Ashbury's Dance Committee was very successful -in losing money, much to the disappointment of both Mr. Joyce and his pocketbook. The next term, however, the committee's very capable management proved to be of great value. lVe paid off all our debts, had a very successful Formal, and soon began to show a profit, although how much still remains a secret. It is very interesting to note that two members of the Dance Committee are flying over to liurope this summer. Throughout the school year. the Prefects and Room Captains were an invaluable source of discipline, and l take this opportunity to personally thank them for all the support they showed the School through every minor crisis this year. A large number of the Graduation Class, although sometimes themselves contributing to these minor crises, also deserve congratulations for their lively interest in School activities. On behalf of all the Graduating Class, l should like to thank every member of the Staff for contributing wholeheartedly to a good School year, and also providing us with basically good-natured butts for a great many of our jokes and classroom caricatures. It is customary each vear for the Graduating Class to leave Ashbury with some token of their appreciation. This year we have two gifts. , THEASHBUR1.-IX 49 I now call upon David Berger to present the first gift to Xlr. Joyce, a set of ten books for the library. The Ashbury College Forms' Council, which has been conspicuously absent for the last three years, was revived again this year. Although during the year it lost some of the momentum it had achieved in September, it put forward some very important suggestions and acted as a very important liaison between Headmaster and Students. Thus, on behalf of the Graduation Class and especially the Dance Committee of 1968, which realises the importance of a Forms' Council and what it can do for a school, I should like Mr. Penton, the Council Staff Advisor, to accept our cheque for one hundred dollars for next year's Forms' Council. In closing, I look forward to the future Class of '68 Old Boys' Reunions, and the great strides that will undoubtedly be taken by the Graduation Class as a whole. To those Students who are returning next year, I wish you good luck and best wishes for a great school year.

Alexander and VID Hr. Sunlcrvillc and Y.-X THE ASHBURIAN Mr. de Corcuera and VB Xlr. Goldsmith and IYB THE ASHBURI.-IN 59 N HQUSE GTES The year 1967-68 saw the creation of New House with lfngland's latest substantial export, Mr. Thomson, as Housemaster and Mr. Gold- smith as House Tutor. New House comprises thirty-six students, some from South America and the U.S., and the rest from an area bounded by New Brunswick on the east and Saskatchewan on the west. The House quickly settled down to a lively and enthusiastic corporate existence, due largely to the energy and leadership of Bob Millar, its first-ever House Captain. New House was well represented in School sports teams. Russ Armitage, Raphael Barrios, Ian Mackenzie. Greg Manson and Bob Millar were our representatives on the First Soccer. On the Second Soccer team were Charles Barnes, Richard Bennett, Del Hallett, Robert Halupka and Tony Luciani. On the First Football team were Rick Chivers. Bill Haughton, Alan Myers and Steve Budovitch, with Manager Bob McArthur, and official scorer Peter Lawrence. On the Second Football team were Richard Glickman, jeff Graham, Bruce Goldie, Robert Kenny, David Ku and Llewellyn Smith. During the winter, the First Hockey team had Russ Armitage, Rick Chivers, Del Hallett and Alan Myers. The Second Hockey team had Steven Budovitch, jeff Graham, Del Hallett and Llewellyn Smith. On the Ski Team were Bruce Goldie and Gordon Herington, while Peter Lawrence was on the Curling Team. On the Track and Field Team were Raphael Barrios, Tim Drummond, Del Hallett, Bill Haughton, Robert Kenny, Tony Luciani and Brian Smith, with Bob McArthur, Ian Mackenzie and Peter Lawrence as managers. On the Cricket Team were Russ Armitage, Charles Barnes, Bob Millar and Llewellyn Smith. During inter-house competitions, New House performed well and the games were supported admirably bv the remainder of the House. In the Cadet Corps, Bob Millar was the C.U., with Ian Mackenzie as 2 ifc. ln the Guard of Honour were Russ Armitage. Charles Barnes, Rick Chivers, Bruce Goldie, Bill Haughton and Bob McArthur. From New House in the Band were Raphael Barrios and Robert Phillips. 60 THE ASI-IBURIAN The year had several other highlights for New House students. Richard Bennett, Robert Halupka and Brian Smith were awarded scholarships, while Martin Connell, Peter Lawrence and lan Mackenzie went on Europe '68, The House members of the choir were Raphael Barrios, jeff Graham, Del Hallett, Sandy Stiles and Gerard VVilson. Charles Barnes was Senior Sacristan, he was also responsible for the sermon at the Servers' Service, and we were all sorry that illness pre- vented him from delivering it in person. Steve Budovitch was a tower of strength in the Tuck Shop, as was Richard Glickman. Richard Glickman was the School's Candid Camera man, aided and abetted by David Ku and Gerard VVilson. These are only a few of the highlights which took place this year. The entire year was one of many highlights, with each and every member of New House contributing in some way or another to the success of the House.

FORM COUNCIL OTES The Forms' Council, revived this year at Ashbury, moved quietly, however, some progress was made towards establishing a foundation for future years. Its primary purpose was to provide a forum for student discussion of issues arising in their day to day lives, and to convey to the Headmaster any recommendations resulting from these discussions. This link, recognized by all Council members as a vital one in any institution, was greeted by the Headmaster with enthusiasm and by the student body with little more than indifference. Towards the end of the year, the Council thoroughly re-examined basic principles, the outcome of which was the preparation of a draft copy of a constitution by the executive and the staff advisor. lt is hoped that this will receive top priority next year. But before that, the students themselves must realise that a representative body cannot function effectively unless it gains the support of those whom it represents. Once that bridge is crossed, the Forms' Council will cease to move quietly. I should like to thank Nlichael Wennberg, President, for his effort and support, Ross Ilvans, Vice-President, for his work on the Con- stitution, Russ Armitage, Secretary-Treasurer, for his work, and all the members for their support through trying times. Also thanks are due to this year's graduating class for its donation to the Council of one hundred dollars, representing profits made through dances. Perhaps this acquisition will serve to generate more interest in the Councils activities. H. Piixrox 62 THE ASHBURIAN PUBLIC SPEAKING The importance of regular practice in the art of public speaking cannot be over-emphasised. This year, a full programme of public speaking has been carried on in all classes of the Senior School, with the exception of Grade 13, one period a week being devoted to this purpose. During the year, all boys have been encouraged to present prepared and impromptu speeches and to take part in formal and informal debates. Poetry and dramatic readings have also formed part of this training. The main emphasis has, of course, been on the delivery of prepared speeches in public. The public speaking contest held in Argyle Hall on Monday, june 3, saw the culmination and justification of all this work. Each class in the Senior School put forward one contestant, and each contestant spoke for from four to five minutes on a subject of his own choice. As it turned out, there was a very wide and interesting range in both topic and style. The audience was obviously impressed by the generally high standard of performance, and the task of judging, performed most ably by Messrs. Byford, Polk and Somerville, was by no means easy. There is little doubt that the most polished performance of the afternoon was given by Donald Kelly of Grade 13, but when the age differential was taken into account the judges agreed in giving the decision to Christopher Harrison of IIB, a recent import from Uppingham. Other highlights were a fascinating and highly original theory on heart transplants propounded by Michael Howes, and a most amusing lesson in how best to extract tomato ketchup from its bottle, graphically presented by Nicholas Groom. Special mention should be made of young Michael Kelly who cheerfully stepped in to represent IOB when Ted janke fell sick. Other speakers were Brian Smith, Dell Hallett and Richard Glickman, all of whom earned our interest and applause. A good afternoon, which XVAS enjoyed. Perhaps next vear the orators of Ashbury will be less bashful about entering competitions outside thc School. H.McG. THEASHBURIAN 63 LIBRARY OTES ln its f'irst year, the use of the library by Senior School has been varied. Under the supervision of 9 senior librarians, a timetable was set up with a view to making it accessible for as many hours as possible throughout the day. This system, which during the evenings and weekends has been left solely in the hands of thc senior librarians, has worked well, with few problems. The comforts of the library have been enjoyed bv a large number of classes. The reference books have provided assistance with many projects and answers for those in search of knowledge. Magazines have come from many sources and have covered an extremely wide range of information on many countries and subjects. Very little fiction has been read by senior school, but this is to be expected in view of the amount of required reading, which leaves little time for reading for just sheer pleasure. This should not be overlooked completely though, as to lose oneself in a book is a pleasantly relaxing pastime and well worth cultivating, if only in a small way. Most of Senior School has again enjoyed membership in the Scholastic book club, and great interest is expressed in the whereabouts of the books from the moment the orders are handed in, until the books are safely in the hands of the recipients. ln the past year there has been a rapid increase in the number of books, mostly due to generous donations from Parents, Friends and Students. Special mention must be made of a gift of new books received each month by the librarian from Mr. VV. R. Wilson. father of Gerard. Nlr. TYilson's choice of books has added immeasurably to all areas of the library and we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for his kindness. Uur gratitude and thanks are also extended to all those listed below for helping to equip the library. We must not forget the senior librarians who have given their time and efforts to the operation of the library and deserve much appreciation. Few books have been lost or mislaid and despite minor problems, there is no doubt that the library's first year has been successful. The following have donated books to the library: F. Abel, Esq. R. T. Bowman, Fsq. His Fxcellency, VV. Ulilton Butterworth, United States Ambassador to Canada Col. il. D. Fraser Vilem Havelk, Director of Pub.

Alexander began expounding on the joys of tripping lightly up and down mountain slopes for the sheer pleasure of viewing mountains in every direction. He began to point out rather strongly that this weekend would probably be the last chance to get into the Xlount Nlarcy area of the Adirondack National Park in New York State before the dangerous weather of freezing blizzards began. XVith dubious looks, six volunteers agreed to try anything once, and so, on Saturday morning of that weekend, Macdonald, Paterson, Cairns, janke and Dollin piled into Nlr. Alexander's decrepit Volkswagen and Mr. Vincent's beautiful bug and began the great adventure. A black night, a chilly one with the cold scent of snow in the air, and the hard moan of the wind in the stiff trees, had fallen by the time we accomplished the mile walk along the fire-road from the parking lot to our intended campsite at Marcy Dam, the trail centre for that area. Supposedly there would have been plenty of lean-to space available, but some thirty outdoor fanatics of Jefferson College Outing Club filled most of it. Hunters filled the rest. We built a tarp shelter and slept on pine boughs. Some effort was made persuading wet wood to Hre enough to heat cocoa, at which point Martin, the hardiest of the group, went to bed and sleep, undisturbed by the tossing, turning and shivering of the rest of the group. Sunday morning the group gave up efforts to sleep in the face of a cold grey dawn. The smell of snow was still in the air, but a cheerful fire and filling breakfast brought us awake. Because of lack of time. it was decided to hike up to Indian Falls instead of Xlt. VVright. The trail up to the Falls was covered with frost, ice, and, further up the mountain, patches of snow. Martin was promoted to the leader of the group and set the pace in his flip-Hop rubber boots. Eventually, we came out on a large rock ledge, over which a stream passed and, tumbling down, made Indian Falls. Two or three lean-to's and a thick forest of stumpy pine framed the view of the Nlclntyre Range a mile or so across the valley. To-day the clouds hid the peaks. and we could see snow on the mountains above the timberline. Occa- sional shafts of sunlight blazed through the clouds over Alt. XYright or Algonquin. But the wind, at first bracing, fast cooled us down and became harsh and cold. After a quick snack in the lean-to's shelter, we made the long hike down to Xlarcy Dam, picked up our gear. and tromped out to the cars. The trip back was a fast race between the two Volkswagens, fighting for supremacy at blinding speeds of over 50 m.p.h. 66 TI-IE ASI-IBURIAN EUROPE '68 For twenty students and one teacher the highlight of the year was to miss the slush and spend two weeks educational cruising in the Mediterranean. just before the VV inter Break started, the party was flown, excel- lently, by K.L.M. to Amsterdam and thence to London, to pick up a not so excellent charter aircraft which took them to the school ship, the S.S. '4Uganda , berthed at Genoa. The mutiny, which occurred when the shapes, sizes and number of girl students joining the ship became apparent, was suppressed with the unanswerable XV ho has your travellers' cheques? The party was exhausted on arrival, but the next day was spent vigorously in Genoa, where several black marketeers went home smiling and several students bought eight-day watches. Clt is rumoured that one actually went for nine before it stopped for goodlj. The first night at sea saw the ship survive a Force Nine gale. The party leader, being somewhat concerned for his charges, visited them at considerable personal risk at the height of the storm: all was peaceful except for Robert whose glass eye had rolled away. This sight was more awful than the storm. The first port of call was Valetta Harbour, Malta. Here, the party was greeted by flower girls and brilliant sunshine. Two very pleasant days were spent visiting the island, where religion plays a most important part in the everyday life of all the citizens. Among the items seen were the cave where St. Paul hid after being shipwrecked, and the George Cross Medal awarded to the Island by the King during VVorld XVar ll. Two more days sailing brought the ship to Alexandria. Half the Egyptian Army performed manoeuvres on the ship between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m., and passes were issued for us to go ashore, all Stars of David having been secreted away. Once out of the dockyard, the party was assaulted by a motley crew: Nice Fez? , Stuffed Camel? , You want postcards? , and the buses, some twenty yards distant, were Hnally reached with some loss of cash. The Hully Gully Man , a magician of considerable dexterity, performed until the buses moved off, passing through Alexandria C'VVhat a lousy stinking dumpfnj to head for Cairo along the desert road. CThe main road was being bombed or something that day.D After visiting the Antiquities' Museum, where sandbags and sticky tape were more in evidence than Tutankhamen's death mask, lunch was taken by the sweet waters of the Nile. A visit to the huge Alabaster Mosque on the Citadel, with a marvellous view of Cairo, THE ASHBURI.-IN 67 was followed, of course, by a trip to the Pyramids. These were assaulted by the Ashbury Camel Corps and entered with enthusiasm, which waned as the steps were climbed and which completely disappeared when the empty chamber was reached. Un the way back to Alexandria, the quick desert sunset was observed and, of course, photographed. Further forbidden pictures of Russian submarines in Alexandria harbour had been taken earlier in the day. Antalya, Turkey, was the next stopping place, and here passengers were ferried ashore by lifeboat to visit the ancient Craeco-Roman towns of Aspendos and Perga which are quite close. Here were seen the marvellous amphitheatres and the agora,' where St. Paul preached. The afternoon was spent either haggling over leather and suede jackets or consuming too much of the local brew. Having passed through many islands, one notably an extinctf?J volcano, the ship came to the Piraeus, the port of Athens. The first day here was March 25, some kind of independence day, an excuse for a parade, the anticipation of which was greater than the event. The afternoon saw the Acropolis scaled and the Parthenon photographed and marvelled at. That evening, the Canadians entertained the Captain to an excellent dinner in Athens, with the wonderfully iloodlit Parthenon as a backdrop. The next morning was taken up with a trip to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon on the extreme tip of the Peloponnese, which proved to be the windiest place on earth. The afternoon was free to visit the museum, the Acropolis again, or hire a Volkswagen, however the spirit was moved. Uganda then set sail for the last port of call, Venice, steering a course through the Corfu channel which took her very close to the intriguing country of Albania, but no gunboats appeared. Venice was discovered in a lifting morning fog as Ugandan was towed and skilfully berthed not four hundred yards from St. KIark's Square. Here the party roamed and were alternately getting lost or devoured by pigeons in that city of contrasts. The latest fashions were shoulder to shoulder with its varied history. And then to the last day: here were the tearful farewells and ends to the shipboard romances, with endless promises to write. A water-bus ride and then another charter Cwill it or won't it?j airplane hop across the Alps deposited the party in a wet London, where a final few days of independent sightseeing were spent. Little has been said of life on the ship whilst at sea: these days were spent at orientation lectures and films. playing deck' games, swimming and sunbathing, or sorting out the complexities of the numerous monetary systems. U'hilst the accommodation was not palatial it was tolerable, nobody died of malnutrition or food poisoning, in fact the party returned looking quite healthy. Some successes were chalked up: a win in the 65' THE ASHBURIAN deck hockey competition, and a resounding loss in the tidiness contest. In an English-slanted inter-school quiz, Ashbury came 4th out of 32, and in the ship's concert the Canada Dry's had to give an encore. The funfare was shrewdl ' directed bv Canadians, and the Ca tain's invitation to dinner was the first in his five year career of student cruises. In all, a marvellous experience which will be talked about endlessly and one where so much was seen in such a short time that it took a month or two to get it all in perspective. A reunion dinner, at which films and pictures of the trip were shown, was held at the Skyline Hotel. The Ottawa Citizen carried a big story of the cruise, and further publicity was obtained when three of the party gave an account of their experiences on television.

Europe '68-Director Mr. Egan THE :1SHHURl.4.N' 69 M ' ff' . . ,fi 'ig-MA. , --- a--OOC NIADANIE There she stood with her hands folded against her apron, the black Breton bonnet on her head and the wooden sabots on her feet. This was Madame, our maid, who would cook and clean for us during our stay at the villa. One thing we shall never forget Xladame for was her cooking. Although she would have preferred us to buy the food for her to cook. in the end she bought it herself, because we failed to buy the right sort. Hath a look of patient disdain, she would turn over the veal cutlets lying naked on the table. They were too fat. and what was it we had paid for them? Nladame pointed out we went to the wrong shops, too late in the day. We must be up early for the best value. Xladame was constantly reminding us of the lady who occupied the villa before. She had been perfect at this sort of thing, and she could not speak French. Whereas we who could failed miserably. :Xt last in despera- tion we said: We are on our holidays. We don't want to buy then if we have to get up early. Go on. you buy the food. After that Nladame got on with us happily. We would get back to the villa, and she would have our meal ready for us. First there was the hors d'oeuvre of bectroot and tomatoes, all home-grown. accom- panied with garlic or onion sauce. Then came the main dish. which was usually veal. sausage or fish. Nladame would heap up our plates and stand watching. This was another over-awing experience. for if we did not eat all of what she had put on the plate she would be very insulted. She would tell us nothing must be wasted. The water for 70 THE ASHBURIAN cooking the vegetables must, later on, be used for soup. VVhat was that Monsieur was paying for wine? Ridiculous! An excellent wine was available, at little more than a franc, she would buy some. Yes, she was quite right. The wine was excellent. But with all our faults and failures, Madame got to like us. She would present us with mushrooms gathered by her husband and son, and milk straight from the cow. It was impossible to find room for all her delicacies. There were occasions when we would furtively scrape the food we could not eat into a newspaper and throw it away before Madame noticed it. Even if we failed to do full justice to Madame's meals, she seemed sorry to see us go. Our departure was delayed, while she fetched two bottles of wine, dry for the gentlemen and sweet for the ladies. Solemnly, Madame drank our health. As we drove off, we saw Madame wipe an eye with the corner of her apron. But only the family that came after us would know whether we made the grade with her or not. R. VAN THE TRIP VVhy? This is the question I keep asking myself. XVho was to blame- Frank or me? I blame myself for the most part. I should have been the stronger of the two. Frank and I were together one night at a coffee-house in the Village, when a Hippie came up to us and asked if we wanted some 'acid . Frank wasn't keen on the idea, but I said okay , and he gave us two pieces of gum. We both knew how powerful it was, so we decided to take it the next day and find out what it was all about. The next afternoon I took the gum. For about half an hour I felt nothing, then I started to feel very tired, so I lay down for a few minutes. IYhen I awoke, the whole world looked different. There were all different colours in the water of the pool where I was sitting. It looked like a great churning cauldron of molten colour. For a long while, everything looked like this. Then a strange thing happened. I began to see my thoughts. They were right in front of me and I reached out to touch them. VVhen I did touch them, they just fell into dust in my hands, and the wind blew them away. My ears were filled with very strange music. I could see the music coming at me in great coloured balls. They seemed to hit me and melt away. The louder the music got. the harder the balls hit me. I tried to catch one - and it smiled at me and Hew away. I jumped to catch it again, as I landed I saw a million people cry blue tears, and from the crowd I heard a voice, a beautiful voice. which sounded like a stream THE ASHBURIAN 71 running. It said: Live your life. man, don't fight the people who oppress you-love them. I couldn't understand what it meant, but I began to cry and roll on the ground. Later, I walked over and watched a tree grow, it was a beautiful tree, and I talked to it, giving it encouragement and explaining the world to it, so that it would not be afraid when it grew up. The words I spoke seemed to grab the tree and hold on to it with long arms. I started to hear water Flowing. It seemed to call me, and it was saying: Come and hear my Poem. I ran in great excitement and fell on my knees to hear the words Howing from the fountain. The poem went like this: I walked in gardens And sang of the world, I thought of the slaves And people who ruled. I ate a Pink Mushroom, And then I fell down And thought of the people IYho push us around. I clapped my hands and stood up. My feet wanted to run, and my body was filled with energy. I started to run, as fast as I could go. I saw a girl walking in the other direction. I stopped to speak with her. I-Ier face was Hashing on and off, in all different colours. I found her most attractive and said: You are the holiest woman in the world. At that, I fell on my face and praised all women. She walked away, and as she walked she smiled back at me. Now the air was looking bad, so I started back home again. As I walked, there was a great ball following me. I looked at it and tried to get it to tell me what kind of ball it was. It said nothing, so I tied a rope around it and took it home with me. IVhen we got home, I put the ball in the pool and watched it play. I had been correct about the air looking bad-it started to rain fire. The fire burned the ball and it died. At this, I wrote a poem of protest against the killing of innocent things. It went like this: Death is unseen, Except for the Bean. It comes to the table, All buttered and dressed, And he knows when he's eaten He'll not be oppressed, ' But People get worried, And death do they fear, But they know not of living Till Death cometh near. 72 THE ASHBURIAN After I recited this about four times, I got up and watched the sun set. Its Hery red embers lingered for a few seconds, then the moon with its people looked down at us. It bothered me and I yelled at it to go away. I wanted to jump up and hit it, but I couldnit find my feet, so I lay down. I started to feel very cold, and my bones rattled like a chain. My ears were ringing, and my fear was mounting. I could feel myself being lifted from the world of LSD to the world of reality. After that, I completely blacked out, and I don't remember anything until about eleven the next morning. I woke up to Hnd the telephone ringing. I answered it. It was Frank's mother, he had taken his gum at the same time I did, but he never came out of it. The doc says I was lucky. Maybe he's right. But my best friend died, and all I had to do was say No , R. GOLDIE THE TEST I knew it was coming. I could feel it in the air. There was a tense and strained silence throughout the classroom. lVith an ominous ring in his voice, our English teacher addressed the class. You lmofw what today is, don't you?,' My innocent classmates and I shivered at his cold words. lVe all knew he enjoyed agonizing and torturing us. 77 I warned you last Monday, didn't I? Again we shuddered. 77 Suddenly he screamed: Yes, you have a little TEST to write! lVe almost shrieked in horror at the dreaded word. As if guided by the devil, he turned his cruel, sadistic gaze in my direction and singled me out. He waited until I trembled a little, then whispered: 'Tm sure you are fully prepared for today, Master I-Ialupka! I managed to choke out a weak Yes, Sir. Then let us beginf' he chuckled. lVhen I snapped out of my IFLIIICC, my eyes focussed upon an innocent-looking piece of paper on the desk. I could hear my heart thumping as I looked at the first question: Analyse fully the following sentencesf, I scanned the paper, and almost fainted. Determined not to, I began writing down the first impossible sentence. The black type glared out at me in horrible contortions. The capital H's looked like guillotines, and the capital I's like stretching racks. I wrote feverishly, and I did not know that the time was up until the teacher tapped me with two stiff fingers on the shoulder. He fairly snatched the paper up from where it lay on the desk. THE ASHBURIAN 73 We were then told to continue with other work till our tests were corrected. Though we pretended to be busy, we sat in a cold sweat waiting for the results as if a hurricane was about to strike. Then, in a deceptively kind and gentle tone, he said: Class, I now have your results. All heads snapped up as we gave him our full attention. He started. CG C41 Qi ton - 75, De DG' G' Cf' del- 80 . but I didn't hear anything until he came to Halupka . Then, an abrupt pause, while he looked up at me - 95 , and continued. Not until we had packed up our books and left the room did I realize what had happened, and when I did I had to Put an arm up against the wall. All of a sudden, my teacher seemed kind, loving, and generous, as well as understanding. No longer did I break into a sweat in .English periods. R. HALUPKA CGNVEXTION CAPERS The 1968 Liberal Convention was called for the purpose of choosing a new leader for the party after the retirement of Lester B. Pearson. There were originally nine main candidates for the top job in the Canadian government, but by the day the convention opened, Finance Minister Sharp had withdrawn. In their efforts to outdo each other, the candidates spent lavish sums of money on bands, banners and ballyhoo, liquor, girls and demonstra- tions. In the words of one delegate: g'This whole convention is one big party! For three straight nights, downtown hotels were bursting with huge and highspirited crowds. Each candidate had hospitality suites in the Chateau or Skyline,', and liquor flowed freely. But electioneering remained the name of the game. Some of the candidates' slogans showed wit and imagination. Bob Winters adopted an old cliche, and came up with: '4Step into the Winters' Circle . Pierre Trudeau countered with: It's Spring . Un first thought this seemed seasonable, if scarcely relevant, but it really goes back to Tennyson's In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love . Spring is a time for change, let's bring youth into the Party, called Trudeau. After Klitchell Sharp withdrew and supported Trudeau, a new phrase was adopted: Be Sharp, Vote for Trudeau , a pretty obvious pun, but in the light of events, effective. On similar lines was the gimmick used by Winters on the Friday night. After his speech to the delegates, artificial snow began to fall. and his supporters threw snowballs at the crowd. A great time was had by all. Oh, by the way. They did choose a new leader. D.

Our minds soar with excitement. We feel pilots weaving through huge mountains. Every bend lends itself to suspense. New sights, new dangers, new excitements draw us for- ward into the unknown. N.

Here comes the judge! Here comes the judge Clear the Courtroom Here comes the judge! And the accused subtled to himself: l'll sock it to the Judge! and blew a cap secreted in his navel, in fact blew night into the lap of that esteemed bludge. But He bore the head no grudge for he didn't give him no none of his, none of his, usual legalified sludge. D.

Adieu junior School - bienvenue Senior School. sz THE ASHBURIAN FOREWORD lt is a great pleasure for me to write a brief foreword for the junior Ashburian at the conclusion of my first year in charge of the junior School. The year has been a successful one. A great deal of the credit for this must go to David Polk who. after thirteen years in charge, turned over to me a well organized and well managed School. There has been no need for any great change. This I appreciate. Naturally, the staff has also contributed to this success. Special mention should be made of the fine work of Alt. john Stewart in the gym. The boys put on a most professional gymnastics display for the parents in the Spring which was very well received. Mr. jacques ran an excellent shooting programme for the juniors, culminating in an exciting competition. This extra-curricular activity was enormously enjoyed by the boys. The work in the classroom was also of a very high caliber. Our standards are high and the boys respond to this challenge with a determined effort to meet these standards. IYhen a boy completes Grade Eight with us, he is ready for Grade Ten work in French and Latin and has a better than required foundation in the remaining subjects. Our Teams won the great majority of their games this year. including the Eastern Carleton County and NIayor's Cup Soccer Cham- pionships. This important aspect of Ashbury life was an obvious success. VVe are sorry to lose the services next year of Messrs. jacques, VVhitwill and Stewart. VVC wish them well and thank them for the contribution they have all made. I ani more than confident that their replacements are the type of men required to maintain the kind of atmosphere that I feel is necessary in a school. If a boy is to be really successful academically, he must enjoy schoolg he must feel that Ashbury is the only school for him. If this is his feeling, he is in the proper frame of mind to do his best work. A parent paid us a high compliment last year, I feel, when he said, The reason we all like the junior School so much, is because 'it swings. This helps too, I think! XI. H. E.

The first set was all old bovs of the school. The second set of monitors was elected bv the junior School Stall. The monitors were verv well organized bv Xlr. Stewart and Xlr. Sherwood and a lot of their success was due to them. Two kinds of monitors. live dav bov monitors and four boarder monitors, work as a team. The monitors have one main iob and that is to keep the -Iunior School running smoothlv. Klr. Stewart thought that there should be a distinctive feature to being a monitor so he decided a pin should be designed. Nlr. Sherwood agreed and designed a pin of sterling silver that can be worn on the Ashbury green jacket. Dou: Aiaotb S4 THE ASHBURIAN l I THE CHGIR - 1967-1968 Back Row: E. VV. C. Cahn, B. A. Boyd, R. M.

Also this year the seniors participated and were divided into trebles, tenors and basses. VVe had many successful visits to other churches including one to Buckingham. Although our showing there was good we did our best at the church service. The choir this year seemed to be a great success, mainlv .because of the fine direction of Mr. G. Thomson, our choirmaster. R. M. TRITES 1 l l J I I lr F I . I THE ASHBURl.'1.N' .vs THE YEAR In order that all may recall some fond memories and happy experiences, we record some of the exciting highlights of the previous year. OTTAXYA HUMANE SOCIETY CONTEST. Each year the Ottawa Humane Society sponsors our essay contest. Every boy in the junior School competes and the chosen essays are sent to the Society's judges. This year Ashbury won the second prize. Blair Nloshansky, Transitus B, won the second prize for the D. B. Cruikshank trophy. Honourable mention went to Donald Horning, Transitus B, and Andrew Harmstone, Transitus A. The essays of David Babbitt and Matthew Stone were judged the best in the grade five Rockcliffe Park category. EXCURSIONS: education outside the classroom. Ottawa offers many opportunities for cultivating a cultural background. Our highlight was the well-organized trip to Quebec City. Oliver. On Oct. 22nd the following boarders went to see the musical Oliver , at the Little Theatre: Aboud, Anapolsky. Cahn. Gillett. Joyce I, Kuhn. Luciani Il, Alarrazza, Aloshansky, Paterson ll. Sagi and Smith. We all enjoyed the performance. Bzzclebzgbavzz. On Feb. 2nd the choir went to La Belle Province to sing in the Anglican church at Buckingham. After the service the Ladies Auxiliary served us lunch. Sound of .lIusic- Richard Trites. On the evening of April Sth, the junior School and a few boys from the Senior School took a bus to the High School of Commerce auditorium to see the Orpheus Society's production of The Sound of Music. He thought that the acting was well done and convincing. We especially enjoyed the singing of the nuns and the children. We were much impressed by the scenery, especially that of the Von Trapp family's home. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. 17If67'7It'lfi07It'lf House. On Feb 2 the boarders went to the Ottawa Technical High School to see a performance of native dances and songs from many different countries. Some of the countries repre- sented were India, Philippines. jamaica and Argentina. as THE A51-1BUR1AN ACTIVITIES H a1H0'ZU6,67l For the Hrst time the junior Boarders were allowed to go trick or treating. Most Ottawa boarders got costumes from home and Mrs. Boyce helped the remainder. VVe had a lot of fun and we hope the tradition will continue. Grey C 71 p Parade Since the Centennial Year brought to Ottawa the Roughriders from Saskatchewan against Hamilton, most of the boys enjoyed watching the spectacular Hoats and precision bands as they paraded along Rideau and King Edward Streets. jamboree - E.C.C.E.S.A.A. On March 9th most of the school attended this hockey-broomball tournament in which Ashbury placed second in hockey. Messrs. Sher- wood and Laird played ruggedly against the best players of the school teams. P617IC61k6 Toss - Shrove Tuesday - Wayne Qloyce. The putty Cpancakej toss is a new event that proved successful. Fortunately, since the school only provides pancakes to eat in the dining room, Mr. Sherwood came equipped with putty. The putty- pancake toss was followed by other games such as the new boys chasing the old boys with snow balls. The winners of the pancake toss were Nigel Nlacleod and Gordon Howe. Horseback Riding - Don Paterson Every Saturday a Triple L Ranch bus would transport any day boys or boarders interested in riding. Mr. Fortier was the organizer of this Saturday sport. After a drive of about forty minutes, we would reach our destination. The instructors were very amiable. They taught us form, handling, saddling, along with a ride every session. The riding this year was successful. The following enioyed the riding: Cahn, Koressis, Stewart ll, Robertson, Cuthbertson, Perley-Robertson, Blicharz, Thompson, Paterson, Beattie, lelaase, Ellis, llarmstone, Joyce ll, Gillett, Dowling, Carter, McNally, and Poppe. Skiing A number of skiers travelled each Saturday by bus to Camp Fortune, the home of the world's largest ski club. THE ASHBURl.4.N' 87 Lectures - Films In early October Robertson's oldest brother came to give a talk on snakes. The entire school shrieked with delight when he showed the snake to Mrs. Babbitt. Each boy was able to touch the snake. Later on that month the boarders heard a talk on knives, given by the proprietor of an Ottawa knife store. He brought along part of his collection which included antiques, and gave us some useful information on the purchase of a good knife. During the winter on a number of llednesdays, Mr. Laird arranged with the Public Library to show such films as the St. Lawrence Seaway and an Air Canada journey across the Dominion. Class Trips - Peter Taticek Transitus A went to Magistrate Court. Transitus B went to the Museum of Science and Technology. IIIA and IHB went to the lYar Museum and the Mint. The Mar Museum had mostly weapons, vehicles and planes from wars like a biplane from lYorld lVar l and an antiaircraft gun from lVorld Mar Il. There was a section on the early types of gains like the Gatling gun, muskets and some old cannons and swords used in some of the wars and some of the uniforms used also. The Mint has big machines that make our money. Some machines punch out the coins. Then a machine stamps the dates and faces on the coins. Also after the coins are stamped they go through a machine with an electric eye that stops the bad coins from going on to the next section for shipping out. Then some men look at the coins when they are Hnished so that none of the bad coins that have passed the electric eye will be put into the bags and shipped out. Class Projects - Ken Campbell Mr. Laird and Mr. lYhitwill have given the junior School a number of class projects. ln the process of marking these projects, they look for the organization and presentation of your project. The organization has to deal with - how you organize your pictures and how you organize your facts of the country or whatever you have to do. A few good examples of well-organized projects were: 1. Victor Lynch Staunton who did his project on Malaya and got 769 Q. 2. Kenneth Campbell, who did his project on Australia and got 8093. 3. Robin Lindsey, who did his project on Australia and got 802. Projects done in Science ' 1. Richard Trites did his project on Space and got 900 Q. 2. lan Smith built an electric motor and he got 952. 3.

He told us he would go and tell Mr. Diefenbaker we had arrived. Moments later Mr. Diefenbaker came out and greeted us. He invited us in to his library where he proceeded to show us all his mementos. At this moment the press arrived. Mrs. Diefenbaker arrived and after we had introduced ourselves Klrs. Diefenbaker gave us a piece of water melon each while Nlr. Diefenbaker showed us a chair used by Sir John A. Alacdonaldls child. He also showed us a picture of him and three fellow officers in the XVorld lYar. Four days later the three officers were killed in battle. Another interesting item was the story he told us about how, one day, he was driving along a road and he met a farmer who was looking after a cow that had just died. Nlr. Diefenbaker stopped and asked if he could be of some help. From the farmer he learned he was leading the convention. ln a speech he mentioned he wouldn't run because he didn't want to run against the candidate, but he won the election. Mackenzie King said to wait for Parliament to open again, but he held it until February so Diefenbaker couldn't quit. After the story we went outside and washed his car while the press took our pictures. NYC were not allowed to do Nlr. Diefenbaker's shoes because he did not feel it was right. After we had washed the car we said goodbye and left for Ashbury. GQTRID llowls .xxn ll0Bl-'Rl' Pl'l'l IliLD THE AsHBUR1.4N X9 OUR BABY SITTLZR On April Sth the junior School was occupied in raising money. Two weeks previously in our assembly, Xlr. Sherwood proposed that the junior School needed a girl. This was greeted with roars of applause, and, when the noise died down, Mr. Sherwood explained his plan to us. Two weeks from then we would raise money by going from door to door and washing cars at 31.00, and shining shoes at 25c. We would send all the money that was raised through the Canadian-Save-the- Children Fund, and they would send a photograph and life history of our child. The junior School was divided into tWCl1ty-SCVCII groups, four in a group, and on Saturday we were sent out to canvass Rockclirfe. Our group consisted of Perley, Magner, Stone and me. Out of thirteen lots we made nine dollars. The group total was far over the two hundred dollars we had hoped to get. IAN H. Sxiim COLOUR BO--XRD The Colour Board is set up after every three-weekly period and it signifies a boy's effort. On it is the name of every junior School boy and beside a coloured tack, being either Gold for excellent effort - Green for good effort-Yellow meaning watch-out-and Red, no effort at all. The boys achieving four or more golds this year in Transitus A are: Ellis, Harmstone, Hope, Lindsey, Lynch-Staunton I, Macleod, Plummer, Stewart I, Trites, and Yaxley. Transitus B: Aboud, Horning, and Murray. IIIA: Anderson, Babbitt, Grant-IVhite, Howe, jelenick, Koressis, Taticek, and PitHeld. IIIB: Arden, Carter, McGrath, Paterson, and Sainsbury. Form II: Boyd, Comis, Ford, Grahovac, Gherson, Loeb, Nlagner, and VVilgress. Form I: Byford, Chick. Lynch-Staunton II, McKenna and Stone. NIGEL XI.-xcuzoo M.L.T.S. If you have acquired an NI.L.T.S., you are excused from examina- tions because your term standing shows that you have gained the knowledge throughout the year that is expected. In the five days that a majority of the school was struggling with examinations, the boys who obtained NI.L.T.S.'s swam at the Chateau Laurier and saw three movies. IVe toured the Museum of Science and Technology. One pleasant afternoon we spent at Gordon Howe's cottage. This year the Kl.L.T.S.'s were Lindsey, Hope and .loyce I in Transitus A, Howe, jelenick in Form III, Xlagner, Grahovic in Form II, and Lynch- Staunton II, O'Neill and Babbitt II from Form I. PAUL Hope 90 THE ASHBURIAN THE SOUTHAM LIBRARY - JUNIOR SCHOOL The library's first year of operation has proved quite successful, and junior School has made good use of its facilities. The junior Fiction has been a popular corner and many of the mysteries were avidly read. Pride of place in popularity must go to the uf-lardy Boys . These have been constantly coming and going, and as they have been returned to the shelves have, at times, been literally pounced upon by other eager readers. VVe have a wide variety of subjects from which to choose -animal stories to science fiction. Dr. Spencer transferred many of her well-loved books to the library and we are deeply indebted to her for this, also for her help and guidance. The choice of assistant librarians was not easy when there were so many eager offers of help. However, those chosen have been a tremendous help, and, except for a few minor problems, everything has run very smoothly and the library has been left in capable hands. Unfortunately, it became apparent that, in order to ensure the prompt return of books, it would be necessary to institute a system of fines. lt was agreed that a sum of Hve cents a day should be charged on overdue books, and there was much moaning and groaning at the prospect of this. Nevertheless, it has helped in having books returned on time and has been accepted by most as a fair system. The funds collected have been used this year to add title labels to the shelves, and all will agree that these are a great help in finding a specific subject. Both Forms 7 and 8 have joined the Campus Book Club and the highlight of the month is when the order forms are handed out. It 11lLlSt be confessed by the undersigned that this is the greatest trial. How many times during that week the question is put . . . '4Miss, I mean Nla'am, when will our books be here? . Despite the fact that it is a deliberate plot to see the librarian go into orbit, and she is well aware of this, the reaction remains the same, much to the joy of all those who witness this latest venture into space! Our warmest thanks are extended to those listed below who have generously donated books to the junior Library. Brian A. Boyd Mrs. Donald Maclaren E. TV. Cam Peter F. Metcalfe Stephen P. Copeland D.

Al.-XRY Loi- rcs, Ll17I't'l7'lt'!ll POETRY CONTEST The junior School Headmaster, Mr. Sherwood, had been waiting for the first rainy day of the week. Now that the day had arrived, the Poetry Reading contest would take place. There were representatives from every class. The contestants were: Harmstone Trans A, -loyce 1 Trans A, Abbott 3A, Hanafi 3A. Howe 3A, Polk 3A, Poppe 3B, Ross 3B, Blicharz Form 2, jaquays Form 2, Zunenshine Form 2, Nlagner Form 2, Babbitt Form 1, Dowd Form 1, Dowling Form 1, Taylor Form 1, and Perley, the lone representative from Trans B. The con- testants were judged by Dr. Spencer and fxlr. Polk. Each boy was given two poems to read. The first one, Sea Fever by john Masefield, was given to each contestant in advance so they might study it. A 'cBoy,s Song , by james Hogg, was given to each boy during the contest so that each judge could see the boy's capabilities at both a prepared effort and a non-prepared effort. After the poetry reading both Dr. Spencer and Nlr. Polk congratu- lated the boys. Dr. Spencer expressed the importance of being able to read good poetry. Mr. Polk then congratulated again all the boys and paid particular tribute to all boys from Form 1. He said they read extremely well considering their age and that they performed, as a group, better than the others. The first place winner was Gregory Dowd, and runners-up were Nlark Joyce 1 and Douglas Abbott. Davin HEANEY THE ASHBURY PUBLIC SPEAKING FINALS This year the public speaking Hnals were held on Alay 31st. The finalists were: from Grade eight, Robin Lindsay, David Yaxley, Andrew Harmstone, Donald Horning, David Heaney, and Blair Xloshansky. with Don Paterson and David Xlaclaren from Grade seven. john Ford and Douglas Kerr participated from Grade six. The contestants were placed in a room away from the speaking area. Then a boy was taken out, told what he was to speak on and then given two minutes to prepare his speech on 4'The Value of Travel . In my opinion, although l am not really qualiiied to judge, Don Paterson, David Heaney, and Douglas Kerr seem to have stood out 92 THE ASHBURIAN from the rest, Paterson for his humour, Heaney because his was the most interesting, and Kerr because of the shortness of his speech. The judges, Mr. Laird and Mr. VVhitwill, looked for the following in the speeches: good logical statements, presentation, organization, enunciation, pronunciation, vocabulary, knowledge and humour. The winner of the finals was Andrew Harmstone, with David Heaney in second place and David Maclaren in third. TED lWCGRATH TRIBUTE TO THE TRIUMVIRATE At the closing of the school year of 1967-68 some teachers, as well as students, have to go to other jobs or schools. Ashbury this year said good-bye to three of its teachers from the junior School: Mr. VVhitwill, Mr. G. jacques, and Mr. Stewart. The students have all had fun with these masters and have affectionately nicknamed Mr. VVhitwill and Mr. Stewart. Mr. VVhitwill has been called Big Daddah , by most students of Transitus, because of his com- passionate understanding. Mr. Stewart has been called Sergeant Pepperw, due to his military method at the beginning of this year. However the students have never found a nickname for Mr. Jacques. Mr. VVhitwill teaches science, Mr. Stewart teaches geography, grammar and all home room duties, and Mr. jacques teaches maths. Mr. Wfhitwill has conducted his classes orally and has covered in this method a wide variety in the field of science. Mr. jacques has also conducted 7022 of his classes orally. He gives the students the usual weekly tests. Mr. Stewart has taken his geography orally. He gives students plenty of written work in grammar. Unfortunately, he could not complete the school year, due to an operation. To all three we bid farewell and wish them the best in the future. DAVID HEANEX' QUEBEC-THE CITY OF LA CITADELLE This year Mr. Sherwood received many suggestions as to where we should go this year, but we take our hats off to those who suggested Quebec. Here is the report of the trip. A busload of boys left the college on May 2-1th at 7:15 A.M. to meet the rest of the boys at the station. fvlessrs. jacques, Laird, Penton, Polk, Sherwood, and XVhitwill came with us this year. Again this year Miss Bray provided her invaluable help as did Nlrs. Boyce and Mrs. Polk. We left Ottawa at 7:50 AAI. Arriving at Montreal at 10:00 A.hl. we were given one and one-half hours to wander in the Place Ville Marie complex.

'Y TOURING CITADELLE I .91 94 THE ASHBURIAN During this trip we ate the lunch Mark packed for us. Mr. Sherwood, Mr. and Mrs. Polk, and Mr. jacques played bridge during the trip in which Mr. Sherwood and Mrs. Polk made fifty cents. XYhen we arrived in Levis, we took the ferry across the river to Lower Town. There all our luggage was loaded into taxis and taken to our hotel, the Chateau Bonne Entente. XVe then walked to Place d'Armes to see the Musee du Fort where half of us went in first to see the spectacular drama of Quebec's historic battles, and the rest were given half an hour to wander before coming to see it ourselves. The other half did the same while we were watching, after they got out. Many of us walked up the Promenade des Gouverneurs. After we had all seen the Musee du Fort we were given more free time during which many of us went exploring in Lower Town and! or to souvenir shops. YVe met again at 5:45 P.Nl. to aave dinner, which was the best meal of our stay. lt was served at Le Vendome. We had veal and vegetables, topped off with a Grand Nlarnier flavoured ice-cream. Unlike last year, we were not able to have a glass of wine each, as the restaurant adhered to Quebec Liquor Laws, but Xlr. Sherwood came around and gave us each a sip of the Chateauneuf du Pape, which he had ordered. After the meal we got settled in the hotel for the night. Next morning many of us went swimming in the hotel pool, but the water was very cold. After breakfast we got on the buses we had rented and went to the Citadel. There we saw the Changing of the Guard and afterwards took a guided tour of the Fort and saw the Museum. We then left the Citadel and walked across the Plains of Abraham. We encountered many steep banks and we had fun seeing who could get up without using any hands. XVe terminated our walk at the Quebec Museum which was featuring a Henry Xloore Exhibition at the time. There were also many churca artifacts and a beautiful antique organ. XVhile we were there the NIuseum's harpsichords were being tuned and the tuners entertained us with their playing. After seeing the museum, we were given leave to have lunch and to meet at Place d'Armes at 2: 30 P.Nl. .Xlany groups went to different restaurants. lYhen we met we went back to the hotel for a last swim before leaving for the Chemin Ste Foy train station and the nearby aquarium. After depositing our bags at the station we went by bus to the aquarium where we saw the freshwater and marine fish, the seals and reptiles. Wie all enjoyed this. After seeing it we utilized its cafeteria. Then we walked back to the station and after a short wait caught the Montreal train. There was no stop in Nlontreal and we got into Ottawa at 11:30 P.Nl. Some of our parents met us at the station while the rest returned to the school by bus. We certainly enjoyed the trip very much and look forward to next year.

After the movie was over, we all went to the Dining Room which was appropriately decorated for the occasion with trophies, tablecloths, programmes and menus. The wonderful dinner was set off by a representative from the Department of Lands and Forests who spoke on Wild Life Conservation. Award winners in the junior School: Stewart I. Pryde. Zunenshine Aboud, and Grant-U'hyte. Some of the awards given were for Soccer, Hockey and Colours for the best all round sportsman. W R. KI.

SOCCER '67 The first game against Selwyn House was played in the rain but Ashbury paddled through in great style to open the season with a win of 4 goals to 1. Derek Pryde opened up the scoring. Leslie Zunenshine and Robert Pimm followed his example. ln the second half Pryde scored again to wrap it up on Sept. 29th at Montreal. On Oct. 4th at Montebello we downed Sedbergh 3 to 0. Robert Grant-Whyte kicked the first goal in. Donald Horning got the second pointer. Later Robert Grant-lVhyte knocked in the next goal while sitting down in the goalmouth. The shutout went to Douglas Aboud. Selwyn House came down here from Montreal to try their luck again- no luck. Robert Grant-lVhyte and Robert Pimm were the scorers. Richard Trites battled off attackers to earn himself a shutout, Oct. 7th at Ashbury. The next game was against Sedbergh. In this game which Ashbury won 5 to 1, one of their own players accidentally knocked the ball into their net. Piero Mangifesta got his first of the year, Derek Pryde and Robert Pimm followed through and Leslie Zunenshine headed in the other, Oct. 18th at Ashbury. lYe travelled up to Sedbergh and Derek played an outstanding game getting two pointers. Robert Pimm wrapped it up and it was 3 to 0 for Ashbury. Douglas Aboud played an excellent game in goal and gained a shutout, Oct. 25th at Sedbergh. ?- - , r, gig ,- 3 'E ' ' Q- I A X.

I' iv 3 ii WX Conquerors of the Mayors Cup Champions At our first match with Rockcliffe Park Public School another great individual eifort was made by Robert Grant-Whyte getting the only two goals of the game, 2 to O for Ashbury on Oct. 26th at Ashbury. The pressure was on. Crystal Beach and Brockview were the joint Mayors Cup winners and came to Ashbury for a real tough day of close soccer. The under thirteen team took on Crystal Beach and beat them -1- to 0 and the under 1-I- beat Brockview 5 to 1 on Sunday the 29th. i On a jubilee where Selwyn House, Sedbergh, Eastview and Rock- cliife battled for the If..C.C.S.A.-Eastview Carleton County Soccer Association finals, we came out victorious by eliminating all the teams. We met Rockcliife again and beat them 3 to 1 with Derek Pryde getting two goals and Leslie Zunenshine one. In our last and by far the most comical game of the season we downed St. Georges here at Ashbury 4 to O with Robert Grant-Whyte getting three goals and Don Horning the other goal. On that Saturday it had rained the previous night and was still raining in the morning. The field around the goals was literally a mud-bath. Doug Aboud earned another shutout on this Nov. -ith. The outstanding feature of all the games was the Ashbury team- work. The unit really worked together and every player thought not of himself but of his team. The thanks of the team must. above all. be given to Alt. Sherwood. His enthusiastic coaching and knowledge of the game did more than anything else to weld the team together as a real soccer unit. Nice:-ir. Nlacrron as THE ASHBURIAN SAILING Hold on Doug, we're going over! Those were my only words before we dumped at Lakefield College. Douglas Abbott and yours truly were chosen to take part in a sailing regatta at Lakefield College. This is the first time Ashbury has entered. Lakefield is located just outside Peterborough. The trip, from Ottawa, took approximately three hours. There were six schools entered: St. Georges, Hillfield College, Ridley, Lakefield and us. The next day the regatta began with two races in the morning. Everybody told us how the boy representing Lakelield won last year and was an extremely good sailor. The first race we had was pretty good. VVe had a great start but came third. In the second race we had a terrible start but fortunately managed to come third again. The third, and what turned out to be the last was very exciting. The course was the regular triangular course and we were required to go around it twice. The wind started to be quite gusty, then went down quickly, but in the second lap a line squall hit and within twenty seconds, as Mr. Sherwood described, every boat had gone over except that of the Lakefield boy. He was on a run when the line squall hit: a large wind that comes with a huge wave and rain. He went into a little cove, came out and finished the race when the wind dropped again. These actions showed great sailing ability. Over all it was a good trip and we came third. Douglas and I personally thank Mr. Sherwood for being so kind in taking us. Roni-tm' PINIXI BASKETBALL Although we did not have any VVilt Chamberlains or Elgin Baylors, the Junior School probably had the best team ever, although the season was short and other activities interfered with Basketball. Vlie lost both of the two games that were played, although the second was decided by a foul shot at the last second of the game. The first game we kept the score down reasonably well with the Hnal count of -I-7-26. The second, however, was a much better game because of a few new useful recruits and a number of practices. The first period started at a fast pace and stayed that way all the game. The game was all but over except for the last play of the game, a foul shot by Robert Grant- lVhyte. It went up and around the rim and fiew out. lVe were all sad but it was not the end of the world. l would like to thank Nlr. Laird for coaching us and others who were involved. Maybe next year we will have a longer season and maybe a few lYilt Chamberlains and Elgin Baylors! NI. BARNES THE .4SHI2L'Rl.-IN 99 2 ' I i I Sn ' ' g Z f BWP! I 'S W as ia'--b, , , ...1o Z V,..

We had plans arranged to play Government House but unfortunately they did not have a team this year. The Hrst game against Sedbergh we lost by a very close margin. The score was fifty-seven to fifty-Five. In that game we played a second short game because we had planned to play an hour instead of twelve outs. In the game both sides were out in forty minutes. so we played a second short game. We made an excellent come-back. They had been leading by about twenty points. In the game the leading scorers were Robert Grant-lYhyte with thirteen points and .lim Klurray with eleven points. The second game we played Sedbergh at Ashbury. We lost that game by a score of a hundred to seventy-live with excellent playing on both sides. ln the game we played a second short game because both sides had been out in forty minutes. We played ten minutes each and scored more than half our points in that period of time with an excellent come-back. The top scorers were Robert Grant-NYhyte with thirty points and Derek Pryde with eleven points. Altogether the season with old boys who knew the game was quite a fun season with quite a few new boys who play quite well.

Yiczroia Lyxcil1-StI1xL i'oN THE .-1SHBL'Rl.-IX IU? Larocuue leaps GYKIXASTICS IN Tlllil JUNIOR SCHOOL This vear the junior School has had one of its hest vears in Gymnastic events. Nlr. Stewart started the vear out with a hurst of energy trying to get one hundred and ten hovs to hecome capable gvmnasts. U'hen the junior School had its parents' reception Xlr. Stewart assembled thirty hovs to put on an elaborate show. ln this show three groups of hovs coming from Forms l to Trans A put on a great performance which was the highlight of the evening. In the Ottawa Citizen Richard Larocque was shown doing one of the most spectacular events. a dive over a squad pyramid. After this demonstration ten boys tried as hard as possible to practice gvm exercises hetween time spent on school teams. The following hovs tried for the huge trophv 10-I THE ASI-IBURIAN presented to the junior School by Mr. Stewart for gymnastic proficiency: R. P. Arden, P. VV. Beattie, K. Bryan, P. Hurley, R. Larocque, P. A. B. Lasalle, A. H. Sainsbury, R. G. Stewart and R. M. Trites. The tournament was very close but Arden edged forward only one and a half points above Hurley. The boys performed on three pieces of apparatus, the box horse, the parallel bars, and the mats. Each boy had to perform particular feats and then have options of performing his own specialty. Not long after a junior School team was needed for the Cadet Inspection. In this display the Juniors did better than most of the Seniors. This demonstration concluded gym events for the year. R. STEXVART THE INTER-HOUSE COMPETITION This year it was decided to include all Junior School activities in the system of awarding points towards House competition. The spread of awards was as follows: - Academic 65 if., Athletics 252, Extra Activities Cchoir, library, monitor, ete.j 102. Thus, every student in the junior School could contribute to his House according to his ability, whether it be in academics, athletics, or all-round effort. The Houses took the same names as last year-Dragons, Goblins, Hobbits, and VVizards. By November, the Hobbits had forged ahead of the Goblins and lVizards by 10 points with 89, the Dragons trailing with 72 points. In February, the field started to spread out. The Hobbits still led with 196 points, VVizards next with 191, followed by the Goblins and Dragons with 187 and 181 respectively. May showed the Hobbits now in a commanding lead with 357 points, followed by the Goblins, XVizards, and Dragons with 310, 296, 292 points in that order. During this period, the Goblins won the soccer league, and the Hobbits wound up the hockey schedule in front. The Goblins won the rifle club championship around the end of May. This, with the results of the Hnal term academic marks, the poetry reading and public speaking competitions, resulted in the following standings: -Hobbits 431 points, Goblins 383, VVizards 376, and Dragons 361. As this item had to go to press before our annual field day in june, the absolute end tabulation could not be included. However, it is considered that the substantial lead of the Hobbits will not be affected to any great extent as they have such track stalwarts as Luciani ll, Pryde, Ilaase, and Babbitt Ill to gain a fair share of points for their House. Therefore, the HOBBITS are the undis- puted ehampions this year. THEASHBURIAN lui It is worthy of note that about 257, of the students in the junior School contributed over 20 points for their I Iouses on individual efforts. Rather than listing all of the students in this group. a sampling of contributors are mentioned herein to point up the various activities that students undertake during he year. Gordie Howe and Rick Stewart each contributed 28 house points. The former built up his score on academic achievement, but he still found time to serve in the choir and gain points for his work on the gym team and in the cross-country races. Stewart l gained 17 academic points, earned further points as a member of the School soccer, hockey, and gym teams, and served as a monitor. Don Horning, who was unfortunately handicapped by a broken leg in the latter part of the year, managed to earn 17 academic points. He was a member of the School soccer and hockey teams. In addition, he helped as a monitor and won a Humane Society Award for his essay. In Form II, Grahovac earned an imposing 24 points for academic achievement alone, and managed to place well in the cross-country race for further gains. In Form I, the boy to watch is Babbitt III who earned 25 points for his House- 15 for academics, and he managed to find time to serve in the choir, participate actively on the gym team, place well in the cross-country, and win a Humane Society Award for his essay. Also, two more potential greats in Form I are Lynch- Staunton II and Rocky Stone whose House points were 25 and 24 respectively. They were gained for academic achievement mainly, but L-S also found time to become a valuable member of the gym team, and Rocky wrote a prize-winning essay for the Humane Society. The House competition raised a keen spirit on the whole and we look forward to next year with great anticipation. NIR.

This is one of the reasons why I'm Writing this article. I don't mind it. For anyone to be good at this sport you have to have stamina and be a good breather. This year at Ashbury during the last term, for practice, we ran about twice a week after lunch. We needed practise for our junior School championships and our two meetings against Viscount Alexander school. The junior school championships were quite an attraction. A lot more parents turned out and the boys ran quite well. Many records were made and many close finishes were seen. I thought these cham- pionships Were well run and unexpected people Won. The races we held against Viscount Alexander school were both Won by them but on the second race we did a lot better. The course they set was very treacherous and very strenuous. All in all, the Cross Country runs this year were very successful. ROBERT PIINJIAI THE Iwi S H If L' R I .I .Y 1119 .Jil r x K I , r v ' ' ' . x lu .I ,. 5, 4 ,fr t-xrtu N- X XX ,IJ Q9 'A' I-gxxx Vg.

THEASHBURIAN 123 LITERARY SECTIO A Nl.-KN I ADMIRF XYhy do we admire people? Is it because they are like us or is it because they possess qualities that we lack? I think I admire my Father because of his stubborn insistance that our problems can be overcome, and that what anyone else can do we can do also. This is not always my own view, as I tend to give in too easily. A result of my Father's attitude is that he is good at doing many different things. U He is good at writing speeches and composing poems. In Italy we lived in dragon country and wanted :1 poem about a dragon. XVe couldn't find one but in a few minutes my Father had written a most amusing few verses which to this day gives me strange feelings inside. The Dmgovfs Dinner A dragon woke in the Forest, 'Tm hungry to-night, said he I didn't have much breakfast, IYhat will my dinner be? I've eaten a goat called Horace, And a spaniel dog called Roy, And plenty of hens and chickens, I feel like a juicy boy! There are cats I could catch on the hillside Or that old grey horse called Dobbin, But I think I'll climb to the hilltop, And eat that boy called Robin. It won't be hard to find him, He makes such a lot of noise, And its easy to tell his garden By the piles of rusty toysf' So up he crept to the windows And peeped in through the gloom. And found the boy called Robin By the most untidy room. 124 THE ASHBURIAN He came in through the window, And breathed his fiery breath. In a flash the boy called Robin IVas roasted and cooked to death. It didn't take long to eat him And slither away in the night. The bed was stained with gravy, A most unpleasant sight! It's quieter now on the hilltop, And tidier too, thatls plain, And sooner or later the dragon May come for a girl called jane. XVhile at the National Defence College he wrote a play about his colleagues and the things they were doing, and people thought that another Gilbert had appeared! He is also good at manual work. If my mother wants a bookcase or a table, or something of that nature he will make one. In Italy we lived near the Carrara Mountains where a lot of marble is found, and as he admired the sculptures that Michelangelo had made he decided to take sculpturing in marble as a hobby. IVhen he returned to Canada he found that soapstone was an interesting material to work with, and so he began to work in soapstone as well as marble. He has made some very good sculptures both in marble and soapstone, and can do better than many Eskimos! His job, however, is to do with physics and mathematics, and he is probably best in this Held. He did very well at school and at Canadian Universities. At school he received the Governor General's Nledal and this: was given to him by john Buchan. But he was not so lucky at Cambridge for his supervisor of research delighted in telling all his students from other countries that they knew nothing. Most of them departed with nervous breakdowns but this was a challenge to my Father and being very stubborn and working desperately hard he survived the ordeal. He is also good at sports. He used to play ice-hockey, but had not done so for many years until last year when he decided to take it up again, playing goal-keeper. Now in spite of a rather frightening beginning and vicious bruises he is slowly getting back into shape. He always gets what he wants, he thinks that reading and travel are the most interesting and enjoyable things to do in life, so he acquired a job that often takes him to interesting countries, and all his money goes into books. My Father's motto would appear to be, Think that you can and you willf' Romx Lixnsi-ZY, Trans A THE ASHBURI.-ix 125 FATHERS DAY Un the day that belongs to Father It would not be too much bother, To make a nice card, It would not be too hard. lYhen Fathers Day comes around The day of happiness is found, I made the card for you, And I hope you love me too. Coxxon O'Ni5ILL, Form I CD - -1 Introductiorz I hope that this essay will give the children of the Third IYorld a better understanding of the Bellum Apium C3457-3-162 7. CD-4, the miraculous drug which can increase intelligence 10.000, was first developed in the year 3457 by Professor john Dondson. This is the story of his experiment with bees and of its disastrous results. The purpose of the experiment was to study the effects of greater intelligence on the development of the body and behaviour of a bee. Because of his physical handicaps, a drone was chosen for the experiment. The drug was injected into a drone during his pupa stage, as it is at this stage that the most radical changes occur in the development of the bodv of a bee. The Diary of Darzdid, the Drone Treated by CD-4 Nlarch 11-19, 3457 I was born on March 11, 3-1-57 at 3: 16 p.m., if my teacher, Professor Dondson, is accurate in his accounts. As a result of the treatment with CD-4 my body acquired a streamlined cigar shape, missing the three easily-distinguishable sections of all insects. My wings are also designed for speed. My head is attached to my body and is immovable, but my eyes are a composite of human-like lenses which enable me to see in all directions. up mouth is shaped in such a way that I can eat by myself without the help of the workers. I have a smooth stinger without the usual barbs, which makes it possible to use it repeatedly without damage to myself. W Immediately after I was born I was hustled by two worker bees into a cubicle near the back of the hive. Here I am guarded so well that I cannot make a step out of my compartment without being pushed back in. The only times I get out is when Professor Dondson takes me out for observation and new doses of CD-4 food. 126 THE ASI-IBURIAN March 25, 3457 I thought of a way out! The next time Professor Dondson puts me back in the hive, I shall pretend to work in order to be able to get around. April 9, 3457 I have been entering and leaving the hive on my own for some time now. I am planning to take some CD-4 from my teacher's laboratory and to inject it into several drone pupae Cin lesser quantities than I was givenl. fthe part of the Diary which follows was torn to piecesj july 15, 3457 My leadership of the hive is undisputed and I am planning to include other hives under my dominion. I am working through a hierarchy of CiDian Drones: the Leaders, the VVarriors, and the Fore- men, who guide the Non-CiDian VVorker Bees. My plan is this: I shall send a group of CiDian Bees to each of the neighbouring hives. They will take over under my orders. CNo entries were made in the Diary in the next two years.l November 20, 3459 My dominions now extend all around the globe. In two days I plan to drive out the humans, who are proving to be troublesome. CToo bad about Dondsonj. VVe shall attack each of the capital cities and kill or drive off all of their inhabitants. Then we will gradually fan out and destroy the rest of them. CThe following passages are illegible and are being worked on by eXperts.j january 1, 3462 I am getting old now and am appointing my son Atrid to take over the Empire. The humans have tried to return from the cold regions where they retreated. CXVe cannot follow because of the coldj, but we drove them back. They will undoubtedly try again. March 13, 3462 I have just been informed by my agent in Ariadx that the CiDian Bees are eating a sticky, yellow-clear liquid fit is honey, of coursej, which is produced by Non-CiDian Bees and seems to reduce the effects of CD-4. Cthis Pzlft of the Diary is lost.D Trans I. note: Dandid had agents posted in strategic positions through- out his Umpire. THEASHBURIAN 127 june 4, 3462 I have just returned from Yatak and have found that this last province has also reverted to Non-CiDian state despite my great efforts, as the Leaders, XYarriors and Foremen lost their intelligence to honey. june 26, 3462 The Humans are returning. Even Atrid has now become a Non-CiDian. Everything is Lost! I am sitting in my now-deserted Throne Room with a cup of honey in front of me. I might just as well join him! ANDREXN' T. HARA1s'roNit, Trans A XYAYS IN XVHICH EACH CULTURAL GROUP CONTRIBUTES TO CANADA In Canada there are many different groups of people all of whom have different customs, languages and cultures. These people have made Canada what it is today because they are a varied people in a varied land. On the coast where the Hrst people to settle in Canada lived, there were the fishermen of France and England. Farther inland along the St. Lawrence, the French farmers settled. In Ontario were the lumbermen, the businessmen, and the farmers. On the Prairies were the people from places in Europe, such as the Ukraine. At the foothills of the Rockies were the rugged and determined cowboys from all over Europe and the U.S.A. In British Columbia were the lumbermen and the Hshermen. In the North were people from all over the world seeking their fortune in gold. The first people to settle Canada were the French and English fishermen who would send most of their catch to England and France, thus developing Canada's first industry. Then came the French settlers with their gay life and hard work to make farms out of the wilderness along the St. Lawrence. After that come the Scottish and the English farmers, businessmen and the lumbermen to form and create industry and cut logs for pulp and paper, furniture and masts for the Royal Navy. Then came the people from the Ukraine and other farming countries in Europe to make the prairie grass lands into endless fields of wheat which is now one of Canada's main exports. The rugged cowboy came next from all parts of Europe and the U.S.A. determined to make a living in the rugged foothills of the Rockies. Into British Columbia went the fishermen and lumbermen to catch salmon and cut trees for a living. In the North people came from all over the world to find gold and. later. oil and iron. As Canada varies, so do the people and the customs. languages and cultures to make Canada a great country with a great future. Davin NIAcr-ARi3N. IIIA 128 TI-IE ASHBURIAN MEXICO, LAND OF GREAT CULTURES The country I visited was the interesting, historical, and fun-filled Mexico. We went by car to Montreal and then by plane to Toronto to pick up more passengers. The flight from Montreal was delayed and came six or seven hours later to Montreal because it came from Spain. The flight left Montreal at eleven forty-five p.m. and the flight took approximately five hours Cthrough the nightj. I went to sleep most of the trip. VV e arrived in Mexico City about five o'clock a.m. and were to meet our parents at the Hotel Ambassador at seven-thirty that morning. The climate when we arrived was only thirty-five degrees but when the afternoon arrived it was seventy-five degrees. IV e only stayed a little while in Mexico City because we flew to Acapulco in time to have a swim at the hotel pool. That night we ate out at the El Mirador where the world-famous cliff divers perform. The young native boys risk their lives but for a reasonable amount of money. VVhere we went swimming we went to the cleanest beach which was the Playa Condesa, a very pleasant beach. At one end of the beach there were towering waves crashing to the shores and the other end there were just the right-sized waves for safety. These beaches are noted for their bikini-clad visitors fand watchersj. For transportation we were stuck because all the Rent-a-Jeep places were empty, so we were lucky to be able to rent the hotel cook's thirty year old jalopy Cjeepj, of which the steering wasn't very good. VV e had to go up a hill to get to the El Mirador and when we came down the brakes did not hold so well and we XVCI1t a little faster than expected! IYe taxied a lot of the people from the hotel in this run-down machine and made an unusual spectacle. VVe had lots of fun in Acapulco and wished we could have stayed longer. VV hen we got back we stayed at the Hotel Ambassador, which was very nice. It was Christmas and New Year which is the festive time of year in Mexico. At night at the famous square, the Alemada, in the centre of Mexico City, there are peasants roasting chestnuts and selling brightly painted balloons which sometimes extended to nine or ten feet. They sell these to people in cars on the side of the street and all through the streets you can see cars with long balloons trailing after them. The places we visited in Mexico City were the Museum of Anthro- pology which is very interesting. IVe visited Maximillians Castle and the Pyramids. I climbed to the top of the Sun Pyramid. These pyramids were constructed very sturdily by the Theotohauken civiliza- tion. On our last day, we also visited the bull fights. They have THE ASHBURIAX 129 seven bulls and about three bull-fighters, very brave men. This show of bravery and talent was exciting and interesting. lVe wanted to get gifts for friends, and silver in the town of Taxco is supposed to be very good. The trip to Taxco took about two hours up the winding roads of the mountains. lVe bought many souvenirs there and everything all over Nlexico sells very cheaply. This country of Xlexico, I think, leaves a great desire to visit again, to any visitor. Its beautiful music and gaiety makes it a great country. It impressed me very much and I would love to be going back any chance I got. RoBi:R'r Pixrxr VANCOUVER Vancouver on the Pacific Ocean is in the most westerly province, British Columbia. Vancouver has warm weather nearly all the time and it is the most important harbour on the Pacific coast. The Strait of Georgia is between Vancouver Island and British Columbia. just across the strait is the city of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Vancouver has many airports and it also has many railway stations such as the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. The Trans Canada highway terminates at Vancouver. It also has a ferry service from Vancouver Island to the mainland. There are some pipe- lines for oil near Vancouver also. The sea around Vancouver was explored by Simon Fraser and Alexander Mackenzie and later by Captain Vancouver. The Fraser and the Thompson Rivers. which were named after the explorers, How near Vancouver. Captain Vancouver discovered the city of Vancouver in 1792. The chief ethnic groups in Vancouver are Chinese, English, Irish, Scottish, XVelsh, Ukrainian and Italian. A famous person from Vancouver is Emily Carr, the artist. There is a statue of Captain Vancouver in the Parliament buildings in Victoria. The Simon Fraser University was named after the explorer Simon Fraser. There is also a park named Stanley Park which is very beautiful to see and visit. Vancouver has a Chinatown also. I think Vancouver is a very nice place to live in and I would like to visit there if I could. PETER TATICEK, IIIA THE FAMOUS LEADER I XVISH I COULD BE I would like to be U. Thant, head of the U.N. because I would be able to try to stop war and poverty and other troubles, that affect the xvorld's people. If I could not stop them I could try and make conditions better anyway. The only problem with this is that it is a great responsibility and one mistake would mean disaster. 130 THE ASI-IBURIAN I would also like to be General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe and North Africa, and later President of the U.S.A. I would like to be him because he was one of the great leaders during the war and while he was President. I would also like to be Field Marshal Erik Rommel, Germany's best general and the war's best strategist. I would like to be him because he had an exciting time in both the first and second VVorld VVars, and he commanded the famous Afrika Korps. I would like to be Napoleon because he was a great general and leader, but I would not like to make the mistakes he made. In this essay I have told about some people I would like to be but since I'm not any of them I am happy to be myself. DAYIID NIACLAREN, IIIA SIR IVILFRID LAURIER----1841-1919 Sir lVilfrid Laurier was the Prime Minister of Canada 1896-1911. He was born Nov. 20th, 1841. He was educated at Assumption College and McGill University. He was a student of law and he joined the Institute of Montreal. In 1871 he was elected to be a representative for Drummond and Athabaska, but in 187-1 he resigned to try for a seat in the House of Commons. He was successful at this, first for Drummond and then for Eastern Quebec. In 1887 he was chosen leader of the Liberal opposition and led it until he died. In 1896, at the defeat of the Tupper government over the Manitoba school question, Laurier took the position of Prime Minister. He formed a strong government and kept it until his defeat in 1911. His government also remained in power until 1911. In his seventieth year Laurier, making speeches in the last few days of his campaign, began to lose power. His old spirit started to die down and some of the Liberals themselves joined and followed Clifford Sifton. The election on September 11th, 1911 was a great success for the Conservatives. It was a horrible blow to the Liberals. Seven Liberal cabinet leaders lost their seats and it was by great pleading that Laurier was kept from resigning. After the defeat Robert Borden became Prime Minister. He and Laurier soon began heated arguments about the navy bills Borden had caused. Laurier kept the house in session for twenty-four hours a day for two weeks, hoping Borden would call an election. After killing the Bill for the naval assistance guide, war broke out in 191-IP. THEASHBURIAN 131 Laurier gave his support to Canadnfs commitment. Bourassa, a French speaking Canadian, said that if Canada fought, Quebec would fight only because France was involved. Laurier was forced to act as a mediator between the government and Bourassa's nationalists. Borden asked Laurier if the two groups would join. Laurier refused this offer but many members joined Borden. In 1916 Laurier was in a sorry state for all that he had fought for had now turned against him. He captured sixty-two of the sixty-live seats in the Quebec part of the election but that was all. Laurier never gave up but fought on until his tragic death on Feb. 17th from two paralytic strokes. R. Pr1'r1t:Lp A TRIP I HAVE TAKEN I think one of the best trips I have taken was to Morocco in the winter of 1960. M'e left from London Airport at about one olclock in the afternoon and arrived in Paris an hour later. From Paris we went by plane to Rabat. Rabat is the capital of Morocco and is one of the largest cities. It is full of markets where fruit, meats, animals and rugs are sold. Metal ware is sold too. There are Mosques CMuslim Churchesj and large tile buildings which are over a thousand years old. IYe stayed there for three days at a hotel called the Tour Hassan Ranada named after the former king. From Rabat we went to a town on the sea named Agadir. It is a very modern place because most of the houses are less than six years old. This is because there was an earthquake which killed many people and wrecked most of the buildings. M'e spent a day there. After a few small towns we went to a city called Sah. Safi is famous for rugs and tin ware. The Markets are right out in the street and there were a lot of people. After Safi we went to the second largest city in Morocco. Fez. Fez is divided into two cities, the old and new. The new city is full of skyscrapers and modern houses and stores. The old city is exactly as it was 2000 years ago. The city has a tannery and a university which is almost 150 years old. There is also a mosque which is as old as the university. There is a market in Fez where second hand goods only are sold. I found Morocco a very interesting place and would like to visit there again. PHILIP HOGARTH 132 THE ASHBURIAN I LIKE THE HUMANE SOCIETY One night I found a stray cat. VVe kept the cat for the night, but Dad said we would have to bring her to the Humane Society. I did not want to, though, because she was real cute. However, the next day my Dad and I went to the Humane Society and it is real nice there. There are lots of animals there. I was sad when we had to give the eat to them. But the nice thing about it was that they gave me a better cat. I had the cat for a year. I thought that was a real fluffy cat. But the cat ran away. Again my Dad went to the Humane Society. They promised me that if they did not Hnd it in a month I would be able to pick out any animal there. Luckily, on the last day of the month, they found it. I was glad. I had her for another year. I thought he was real nice. But the eat got oldg it couldn't run fast and one day it got run over. They tried to make it better but they had to put it to sleep. They let me choose a cat, and I know if it ever gets hurt they will be ready to help again. D. E. WI. BABB1'r'r, Form I THE QUEBEC CITY TRIP XVhen we got to Quebec City we XVCHI to a museum owned by an old Ashbury boy. Since we were Ashburians he gave us free admission. Before we saw the movie he explained the battle to us. After that we heard a voice and lights going on and off on a platter with a map on it. T he voice also explained the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Different lights were to represent different sides of soldiers. The next morning we went to an old fort to watch the changing of the guard. The changing of the guard was much the same as the one in Ottawa only this one had a goat in it. After that we went to an old war museum and saw swords, clothes, and guns used by the soldiers in the 1759-1763 war. XVhen we came out of the museum we went to a small building where General Vanier was buried. IVhen we got out of that we went to where the Battle of the Plains of Abraham took place. After walking about a mile we came to where General YVolfe was shot. XVC then went to a museum. They had many Hue paintings there. D GHERsoN, Form II 'I' H E .11 S H 13 U R I .4 N 133 QUIf'I3I ,C CITY The Cballgilzg of the Guam' and the Tour .efmzzmf the Tririning f,li17llf7 On Thursday the whole school went on a trip to Quebec Clitv. We took a bus from the school and went to the Ottawa train station. Then we went to Montreal and got a train to Quebec. I liked best the changing of the guard. They marched while the band was playing. The mascot was a LQOLII. It had silver horns. The guards were trained to stand at a gate for three or four hours without moving a muscle. They marched in step perfectly. It was a great expedition. The second thing I liked was the tour around the training camp. I saw all the names of the men who died in the war. A guide showed us around the place. TYe first went to the war museum. I saw the first treaty and very old guns, bombs and cannons. From there we went to an underground tunnel and at the end of it were holes to shoot out of. On Friday night we left for school. LESLIE Zcxnxsmxii, Form II THE QUEBEC TRIP Cn the train the seats are comfy. It is a long ride to Quebec. XYe shall stop off at Montreal. Then we shall have a longer ride to Quebec. TYhen we get to Quebec we shall have a lot of fun. We shall watch the changing of the guard, and look at the fort. We will go to the Musee du Fort , the Art Gallery and the Plains of Abraham. We finally get there but first we have to take the ferry from Levis. Now the fun will begin. First we go to the museum. It is very good. We have a big dinnerg then we go to the motel. This is something I will never forget . . . the best time of my life.
