If one were to supply an epithet for Karl Parks, it would surely be: Karl of the Flashing Blades ! He came from Eastern Canada and showed our hockey teams an excellence in that particular sport that we haven't seen in quite some time. Over and above this Karl showed the greatest enthusiasm for all aspects of our athletic programme and contributed much to this part of the School. After his two years' stay here it was with great disappointment that we learned that he was going to the field of public service in the Recreation Department of the City of Ottawa. We hope that his work there will keep him in contact with us and look forward to his return to the School on any occasion that he can come. Fred Graham came to the School in 1972 and. despite the limitations of space and equipment. made a success of the Music Programme at the School. The Christmas Carol Services. the Gilbert 8: Sullivan productions and especially the small operettas of the Junior School gave many of us something by which he will be remembered. Our best wishes go with Fred and his wife as they proceed to further education at the Graduate level.

STAFF DEPARTURES When Peter and Ann Josselyn and the two hoys arrived hy trailer some five years ago. many aspects of Ashbury tools on at new look. 'lihere is no question of doubt that the infusion of interest into the English Department was prtiiseworthy' to say the least. The joint Gilbert ck Sullivan productions that were put on with Elmwood School reached new heights of excellence and enjoyment. The enthu- siasm. support and leadership that Peter gave to many aspects of the sporting programme will he sadly missed. When we heard last Spring that Peter had heen appointed Head of Queen Margarets School in Duncan. B.C.. we applauded the wisdom of that Board of Governors in their choice hut felt htidly at the departure. not only of Peter. but of Ann as well.

THE CHAPEL It was about 500 chapel services ago that I arrived at Ashbury to assume the duties of chaplain. I look back on the past five years with a great deal of satisfaction. It has been my happy privilege to receive eight new members of the Christian family by holy baptism and to present another sixty-one to the Bishop for confirmation and the attendant adult privileges and responsibilities of mature membership of the church. On five occasions it has been my ministry to use the burial office to commit souls to the care of God. With much pleasure I have said, I now pronounce you man and wife to fifteen couples. I am very grateful to be the priest in this place.
