NOTES We record with regret the death on 28 February of Bishop Reed of Ottawa. He was a governor and a good friend of Ashbury. The school closed on 1 1 June and prizes were distributed by Mrs. G.F. Henderson, Mrs. Edith Moore, and Mrs. Donald Maclaren. The chairman of the Board of Governors mentioned the improvement to the school surroundings with the thinning out of trees and shrubbery. The main entrance hall, too, has been changed for the better — new floor and ceiling, improved lighting, and covers over the heating pipes. It is understood that these works are gifts to the school by Mr. Grant. Mr. Pickering, who set up the Pickering Foundation last year, was introduced by the chairman. The closing service in Chapel was fairly well attended, rather better than the morning track and field meet. Athletic performances were quite good, but no records were broken. Dr. Ian Grant-Whyte, father of the winner of the open-mile, presented the ribbons. The 8-A form prize is now known as the John Michael Hilliard memorial. It has been given by Mrs. Jelenick in memory of her son (1952-56), who was lost and died in snow last winter. The Ashbury Ladies ' Guild have instituted a new award for Grades 9 to 13: $75 cash annually to a boy in each of these grades whom the staff consider worthy of significant recognition. Two boys took part in the sailing regatta at Lakefield in September. They won the first (sailing dinghy) race. Driver training continued this year with an instructor and an instructress, and Jane Martin from Elmwood was a pretty member of the Ashbury class. A large number again took part in the Miles for Millions walk; George Harlley (from Ghana and a fine athlete) should find it hard to explain his absence. Two shows not mentioned later which gave pleasure were the visit of Paul Riddell ' s Hell Drivers last September — Paul was here 1950-55 — and the parade of the Parachute Regiment at the British tournament in October. Most generously every penny of the Hell Drivers ' gate money was given by Paul Riddell to the Tiny Hermann memorial fund. After the last performance of Patience this year the stage people were given a party by Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Coyne. Mr. Coyne is a governor and a former governor of the Bank of Canada. We are sorry that last year ' s Ashburian failed to thank Mr. and Mrs. F.H. Sherwood for so kindly looking after us when Ruddigore was over. Mr. Sherwood is a god-father of the master-in-charge of the Junior School and was a submarine commander in the last war. In May, Elmwood and Ashbury put on Benn Levy ' s Rape of the Belt at Elmwood. The play is based on Hercules ' ninth labour. This in turn
