back to our hearts. Three boys visited Rome, where they were most impressed by the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's, the Pantheon, the Forum and Colosseum. Most of us found Pompeii intriguing. Destroyed by earthquake in A.D. 63, the partially rebuilt city was completely obliterated in A.D. 79 when Vesuvius spewcd out pumice stone and ashes to a depth of twenty feet. Reconstruction has almost recreated the atmosphere of the old Roman town. The cruise really ended on the Wednesday we were at Naples. Some of the groups flew home and we ourselves left Italy by air on Thursday, March 29th. We didn't come straight home, however. We enjoyed two nights in London. where we hurriedly visited the Tower. watched the Changing of the Guard and took in The Mating Game at the Apollo Theatre. We arrived home tired. but happy, on March 3lst. All in all it was'a re- warding experience. We realized afresh something of Man's creative genius, and we were somewhat humbled by the evidence that centuries before our scien- tific and technological age human achievement could be so magnificent. We tasted much of the sweetness of life and the beauty of nature, but also agonized over the poverty in which so many people eke out their lives. We entered on new friendships and gained deeper insight into people-including ourselves. It was a good trip. E.E.G. of 1 'Kai ' 4 xl .

Snowshoeing was offered as an alternative to cross-country skiing. Snow- shoes were made available to the seven enthusiasts through Mr. Beedell's outdoor programme. The club attacked the football field and two days later announced that they were ready to tackle the wilds of Rockcliffe Park. The available trails had soon been exhausted so new trails were blazed through the woods. During this process, Rollo became quite proficient at dodging trees on the run. while Mike led us exploring. Mike was soon to discover that the shortest way to the bottom of a cliff is straight down, and it wasn't long before everyone joined him in this new hybrid sliding sport. The air was fresh, the walks invigorating, and an enjoyable time was had by all. G.E.l-1. 29

Why was this? Ashbury had finally produced a team rather than a group of individuals. We proved this right from our first game against Osgoode, beating them 25-0, the first of a home and away series for the W. W. Johnson trophy. Majors were accounted for by Barden scoring two and Pimm and Beqaj one each. The following rainy Saturday morning put this claim to our being able to play as a team to the real test, for Stanstead visited us. The game was a tough battle with Ashbury's mean defense making three goal-line stands in a row to thwart Stanstead's fierce attempts to score. Ashbury's scores came from a one- yard dive by Dave Barden and a Dave Godsell pounce on a kick which Stanstead fumbled in their own end zone. Stanstead scored their T.D. while Ashbury was short one defensive back owing to a temporary confusion at the bench. This was the first time in eight years that Ashbury had defeated Stanstead and it also was the first time Stanstead had lost in thirty-two straight games. On Saturday, October 30th, after the Stanstead game, Ashbury began to hear the chant of We're Number One , and we continued to play like number one for the rest of the season. Even though there were moments of pessimism on the part of the coaching staff, Ashbury continued to play in fine form by beating Lindsay Place, from Montreal, by a convincing score of 32-O. The points came from Beqaj and Pimm scoring two each and Barden one with Gerry Anapolsky, our soccer-style kicker, putting two converts through the uprights. From here we travelled to the home ground of our rivals, Bishop's, with whom we vigorously battle each year for the Old Boys' Trophy. Both teams were ready, but Bishop's capitalized on 31
