Captain of football, of soccer, of hockey. of cricket. hcavvweight boxing championg he won the shooting prize, the lfleming Cup for track. the Connaught Cup for gvm. .loc was more than just an outstanding school boy athlete. lle was a leader and a fine example for every Ashburian of his day to look up to and admire. These qualities were recognized in his appointment as Offi- cer Commanding the Cadet Corps, and were climaxed when he was named Head Prefect and Captain of the School. The academic side had not been neglectedg and after .loe graduated from Ashbury in 1928 he was admitted to R.Nl.C. where he continued his successes. On his graduation from the Xlilitary College he was awarded the Prince of lYales Trophy for outstanding achievement during his four years at the College. joe entered business in Ottawa, but still found time to dominate the local sporting scene. He turned down a chance in the National Hockey League which would have moved him from Ottawa, but starred with the Shamrocks and Ottawa Senators. He became a standout kicking half- back for the Rough Riders. However, it is his Ashbury association which concerns us in these pages. joe resumed his connection with the School in 1951 when joe. jr. was enrolledg he was a Member of the Board of Governors for seven years, serving as Chairman of the Board from 1956-1958. lYhen his firm moved from Ottawa, joe elected to remain here. and in December. 1959, he joined the staff of Ashbury. ltle became Director of Administration and continued in this post until his death on 5 April. 1969, from heart trouble. Ashbury will not see his like again.
