grades nine to twelve to bed on time, and then be prepared to linger in rooms talking and chatting about whatever the current talking point happened to be. I appreciated equally the readiness of the guys to drop into my room whenever they felt like it and discuss their interests and problems. Long may they do so! Perhaps the overall picture was one of a discipline that was acceptable because it was never abused, and full marks here to the prefects and room captains. I myself occasionally had to reprimand, and full marks here to the victims who not once tried to argue the point, but always accepted the reason for my doing so. In inter-house competition, we just came off best. Next year we intend wiping the floor with Connaught. The most enjoyable event perhaps was the end of year house dinner. partly because it was the end of year, and partly because we innovated by inviting girl friends along for the first time. This was successful and we'll probably try it again this coming year. No individuals to be mentioned here, because if I were to mention one or two I would feel compelled to mention so many more. The House was crammed with characters, likeable and notorious. Most will be back next year, and I look forward to them again. On paper, it should prove to be a fine year, but it will be up to you, Woollcombe students, again to make it a reality. Go to it! CJ .I. CHAPEL NOTES Why is Chapel compulsory? This was at one time a very common question. Now, however, there seems to be a new attitude towards Chapel, very seldom is that question asked. Even on Sunday nights, when the boys must cut their weekends short, very few complain. Why? It is probably because the students feel part of the Chapel services. The students are more involved, which results in a wonderful atmosphere, they feel more than ever that they can contribute to the services and con- sequently are able to get more out of them. It is all this, and more, which has made the Chapel services the best ever. Various people from Grades Nine to Thirteen played an active role in the services, hence there has been a greater personal involvement in a Chapel situation which has now become a meaningful experience rather than a tire- some obligation. The impact of these accomplishments on the students of Ashbury and the profound effect which Mr. Green has had on us as individuals emerged in the singing of Glory, Glory, Halleluialn on ML Green Day . W. W. Stratton M- Duguay I must add a word of appreciation. Kostas Himsa and the Servers' Guild were just about the most cheerful and efficient Servers any priest could ever want, the Prefects were most helpful and co-operative, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Brunet and Mrs. Ryan were always there assisting in so many ways, Mr. Fred Graham and the Choir rendered beautiful and valuable service, Mr. Joyce and all others who read lessons were most faithful in their duties. To all of you - we are grateful for your contributions to College life through your Chapel work. Words fail me still when I think of ML Green Day . On that day - and, indeed, throughout the year - the students of Ashbury accorded me such a measure of friendship and support that I shall never cease to be grateful. Thank you so much. E.E.G. 20

As you see we had a busy year, but not all the action was in the Chapel: the involvement of Ashbury in the blitz for Pakistani Relief was magnificent, the Grub Day to raise money for Third World Development was something else. ln fact the whole enterprise of reaching out to help others took on a new dirgiension this year.
