CHILDREN 'S CHRISTMAS PARTY For the first time, this year there were enough children belonging to staff to war- rant a Christmas party. On December l9th 25 children gathered at 4:30 p. m. in the gym ffor goddlersj and in Argyle Qfor those able to play sockiej. The gym was a great success as the little ones had the whole floor to ride their tricycles and what-nots around at will. The sockie proved hazard- ous on a slippery floor, but the 8 and 9 year olds overcame the difficulties. At 5:15, everyone descended into the common room for a sandwich and ice-cream supper. At 6:00 we returned to Argyle to witness the wondrous dexterity of Mr. Roy Cottee, magician, who did a beautiful job of amaz- ing and involving the children at the same time. Becky Macoun literally jumped for joy as she helped the magician on stage. Finally, we went to the common room where Santa Claus fthe real one this timey distributed presents to each child. Thanks should be given to Santa's two gnomes - Cathy Green and Susan Anderson for their help in multiple ways, and above all to Mr. Joyce who footed the bill for the magician. The party was a small but unique aspect of the Ashbury family that children and teach- ers will not soon forget. D. D. L. Chris Penton with cake. Even Santa s elves get tired: Cathy Green and mother, joy. Sarah Niles and jim Humphreys F' R' We E' 4 X --, A li L.

In November he teamed with Alan Racko to win the United States National Indoor Doubles Championship in his age group. In the singles, he played to the semi-finals being beaten by a 6' 4 , 165 lb. 14 year old named Quigby, 6-1, 6-3. In New York, in February, 1977, he played Quigby again, beating him 1-6, 7-6, 6-1 even though his opponent had match point on four occasions! During the Christmas holidays, Martin competed in the Orange Bowl World junior Tournament in Miami. He came third. Tennis is expensive. Martin's parents pay for most of it while the O. L. T. A. and the N. C. L. T. A. help defray the costs. Martin's over -riding concern is competition and for this reason he is considering going either to California or to Millfield school in England where, in a milder climate and with concentrated training he might realize his dream of matured excellence.
