HERBERT S. DALTON Herb Dalton joined us at Ashbury in 1955. He had had wide experience as a schoolinaster and bursar and settled cheerfully into the life of the School. His wife Nluriel was already on the staff, and together they remained at Ashbury until 196-1, when they moved to Nova Scotia. Un their return to Ottawa in 1966, Herb was welcomed back to the staff, first as teacher, then to take over as School Bursar. He died of heart trouble on 8 March. His good nature and cheerful co-operation will be missed by all. GARY HORNING The Captain of School writes: lflveryone at Ashbury and in particular his own form, Grade 13, were shocked by Ciary's death. Gary was the all-round Ashbury stu- dent: he had been accepted by the university of his choice, and in football had won the llarry O'l3rien Trophy. llc was an outstanding skier. Vlfe all miss Clary very much, and his death leaves a scar we cannot forget.
