' G--gf. - -. , 5., .5 . H EADMASTERS MESSAGE The effort made by the editor of the Ashburian to record the school year fully and accurately points to the significance of the Ashburian in our corporate life. I can only ask you to read the Ashburian and enjoy it, appreciating the immense variety of un- dertakings which Ashbury students engage in with such enthusiasmg student zeal and curiosity is the taproot which feeds all our efforts. Briefly, then, we started the year in September with 435 students, thirteen of whom were girls in grades twelve and thirteen. The admission of girls has happened smoothly - a credit especially to Mrs Kennedy fthe Dean of womenj and to the girls concerned. As a matter of record, one should note that this was not the first time that girls have been enrolled at Ashbury: both the daughters of our founder, Canon Woollcombe, attended the school, as did the daughter of a later head-master, Mr. Archdale. I was asked recently if the increased pressure on places at the college and, therefore, the higher standards expected on Entrance Examinations, was going to make Ashbury a school solely for the bright and gifted. I think it is an important question for us to face. The answer must be No , but please note also that Ashbury does not exist only to train the average and neglect the talented. It exists to make the best of both. One must always remember that ex- ceptional minds may emerge in any place, at any time, that is one of the joys of teaching. I was also asked: Has the increased demand for places at Ashbury led us to select only on the basis of academic results? Plainly the answer is again, Of course not . I think that the student body is a reflection of this fact. As you can see from the record in this magazine, our gifted and talented students continue to do extremely well but the positive, en- terprising spirit within the student body reveals that DEDICATION '83: THE ASH BURY FAMILY everyone contributes to our success as a school. And the common denominator is simply that all are good citizens. For me, this is the first and most important criteria for admission to Ashburyg here, too, is another definition of the 'taproot' that keeps us true to ourselves even as we, both as individuals and as a school continue to grow and to change. The record of our growth and change - and some sense of those things that do not change - are con- tained in The Ashburian. Perhaps that is what the poet T.S. Eliot meant when he wrote: We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our ex- ploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. Enjoy the journey!
