f 'P INDUBITABLY lAMES: A Short Profile of MR. GLOVER Mr Clover was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire Cand not as long ago as some grade nines might thinkll Between the ages of six and ten he attended Hill House Preparatory School after which he went to Bramcote in Scarborough and later Shrewsbury. ln 1935, he went up to Oxford University for what he says, now, were the best years of my life. The tone or flavour of those years are perhaps difficult for North American students to appreciate but essentially tand with apologies for any distortionj to be a student at Oxford was to be treated as a gentleman, a combination, suggests Mr. Clover, of a certain kind of pampering and firm discipline, each student had a 'scoutf for example, who made the fire and brought breakfast while the rule of the day was 'no pubs' and 'in by twelve.' What Mr. Clover remembers about Oxford is the compelling atmosphere of the place - its graceful social rituals and rhythms, its intellectual ideals and powerful physical presence. He thinks of those years with profound gratitude. After his graduation in 1938, Mr. Clover took some courses in typing and journalism but finally settled for real estate instead. World War Two, he says frankly, released him from work that was not his true bent He began the war as an artillery officer but because of his fluency in German was soon transferred to Intelligence, where he rose to Captain. He was as happy in this position as anyone has a right to be who must interrogate prisoners, translate documents and transfer people - a process that Mr. Clover rather ruefully calls playing human chess. After the war Mr. Glover had a year of some uncertainty until a sudden urge made him enter the teaching profession. He found that here was his true calling. His first teaching post was at Oundle, after which he went to Taunton where he stayed for 20 years. They were years of diverse growth and fulfillment, besides his teaching, Mr. Glover was actively involved in many plays put on by the 'Taunton Thespians' as well as playing piano and cello for the Somerset County Orchestra. The same intuitive urge that got him into the teaching profession made him pack his suitcase and come to Canada twelve years ago, he has not regretted the decision especially since, along with fellow-newcomers Beedell, Niles, Penton and Robertson, he has contributed to the exciting developments which Ashbury has undergone in those years. He pays tribute to both headmasters under whom he has served for long periods of time, namely Mr. lohn Leathem and our own Mr. loyce. Mr. Clover has brought to Ashbury his talents as teacher, raconteur, musician and actor, his un- failing courtesy, personal rectitude and his sense of fun have been valuable assets to this institution - a vital link between past and present. Many boys will remember the genteel as well as gentle character which has served him and others so well, and they will continue to do so long after he retires in 1982. The dedication of this yearbook, Mr. Clover, is our small way of saying 'thank youl' Nanno Habetsmith D.D.L DEDICATIO 4 Photo: john Evans Photography Ltd.
