MR. V. J. BURCZAK Mr. Vic Burczak joined the Staff in September 1970 to teach Physical Education and Geography. but his activities have ranged far beyond the gymnasium and the classroom. He has been assistant coach of lst Football. coach of 2nd Hockey and of Track and Field: in addition he founded and ran the Archery Club and took on the task of advertising manager for the Ashburian. To Mr. Burczak belongs the distinction of having devised an equitable form of roster for day duty masters whereby no one member of the Staff was stuck with a fixed and possibly distasteful day of the week. We thank Mr. Burczak for his contribution to the life of Ashbury and we give him and Mrs. Burczak our best wishes for the future. .l. A. C. MR. W. W. BYFORD It is not often on these pages that we can record the happy conclusion of a lifelong teaching career. This year. such an occurrence has taken place in the case of Mr. W. W. Byford, affectionately known to his colleagues as Bill . Q Bill Byford taught his first class in London. England, in 1929. From that day to this he has practised his profession all over the world and can speak with equal ease of classrooms in Singapore, Africa. The United Kingdom or America. He raised his teaching skills to the highest level and those students passing through his Chemistry and Mathematics classes will remember his lessons as they remember few others. Indeed. they have been most privilegedg there are few of us today that can match Bill's ability to combine the strictest of class discipline with an acceptable learning situation. Behind Bill's some- times fierce countenance there was always a heart-felt willingness to help a student achieve his fullest potential. Very few boys did not discover this. as the numbers of boys who beat a path to the Byford door at any hour of the night or day bear witness. Happily the Byford family are not moving too far away. We hope that we shall continue to see them on social and other occasions of the School. It will be hard for us to think of the teaching profession without Bill being part of itg somewhere, somehow. Perhaps if we hope hard enough we won't have to! W.A.J. n Q 5 -' N' Y S I Qi? 7' 'H ' . larry ' ' ' ' .. V, 1 PHOTO BY JANE EMBER 15
