Rex Boyd Mrs. L. VV. C. S. Barnes Nlrs. H. Xl. jaquays Ashbury Xlothers' Guild held two luncheons during the past Year instead of the regular meetings- and increased the membership to 126 9 . 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. DOROTHY PERLEY, President

32 THE ASHBURIAN ill 5 ole l A iflx .ff l .5 liiizfii' ' ,Ni 1 ' K All l .4 ' 7 ' il. . 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
