VALEDICTORY by the Captain of the School DEL HALLETT Mr. Chairman. members of the Board, Mr. Joyce, members of the Staff, ladies and gentlemen and distinguished members of Ashbury College student body. This has been a very fast year. The fact that it did go by so quickly is an indication that it was a good year - certainly a very tumultuous one. Trying to pick out highlights of the whole year is sometimes very difficult, since events. while remembered by some, might not be remembered by others. However. l'll start with something everyone must remember - cadets. Cadets took on a new look this year, with much less drill, as you probably guessed this morning. Instead of hours of marching. a more practical approach to cadets was devised. Last Tuesday we all went to Camp Petawawa and came back yesterday. except for a few hoarse throats and a few more mosquito bites no worse off than when we had left. Our formal this year took us and our sister school. Elmwood. to the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. It was the best dance in a number of years and I'm sure that those who did go will remember it for a long time. Chapel this year also changed, with a much more modern approach to religion. The rock opera Jesus Christ - Superstar was played on two Sundays in a row and the grand finale was last week's service in the Library. And who will forget the 7-1 win over Bishop's in football or the 1-0 loss in the soccer semi-finals to Glebe? The hockey team will surely remember the 9-2 win over the Old Boys, and the skiers, l imagine, will never forget Owl's Head. There was much more cohesion within the School this year. However, the spirit of the School was the spirit of the boarders - when the boarders were up, so was the School, and when the boarders were down, so was the School. There were still quite a few four o'clock schoolboys this year who contri- buted nothing after classes - mostly day boys. ln a school of the size of Ashbury it is difficult to have two boarder houses, and distinctions should not be between two houses under the same roofg if distinctions must be made, they should be between day boys and boarders, with one day boy house and one boarder house. House competitions were very close this year. Woollcombe won the swim meet and hockey, while Connaught took the soccer and rugger games. Hull, again this year, remained strictly out of bounds, but I am almost certain that there were some weekend expeditions over to the forbidden city. Ashbury College is built on a strong foundation of friendship and an even stronger foundation of tradition. We must strive in the future for the better- ment of the school by keeping up with the times by means of modification, change and even abolition. This betterment must come from within the School itself and can only he achieved through a much closer relationship between staff and students. Striving must be sincere. not a chain of superfluous and meaningless gestures. I have been at Ashbury for five years and my feelings about leaving are very mixed indeed. However, I am able to look back on my schooldays with fond memories and. believe me, they are many. Ashbury College has so much potential - let's use more of it. 30
