-1- HEADMASTER'S ADDRESS Each year. the Headmaster has both the opportunity and the privilege to w rite some comments for the Yearbook. In many ways. my comments mirror those made at Graduation. Let me start. tirst ofall. by paying tribute to the graduat- ing class, They have provided Us with excellent leader- ship which has great characteristics of warmth and humanity. They have helped to establish a caring and supportive tone in the life of the school. Most of all, their year is characterized by an open. friendly and plea- sant leadership which has created a strong climate of ac- ceptance and good will in the school. At the start of the year we were all saddened with the death ofone of our friends. Frank Hollington. This time of tragedy. distress and grief led us to realize the very fragile nature of our existence. Indeed. it may have set a caring and compassionate tone for the year. We. as a school. both collectively and individually. extend our sympathy to Mrs. Hollington. We are pleased to pay tribute to Frank in establishing the The Frank Hollington L9 Cf P4 Memorial Fund. Ashbury is a school which has great diversity and much talent. In this yearbook, you will catch glimpses of the enormous range of talent and the scope of activities. These pay tribute to the excellence of our student body and commitment of our staff. It is inappropriate to single out any activity but let me say that our International Days make a splendid statement about the nature of our school. Our students enjoy the privilege of an Ashbury educa- tion and are compelled to respond positively with all the benefits they enjoy. This world is full of challenges and opportunities and student response to these will be the real measure of the success of Ashbury College. Our students can take on these big challenges and really make a difference to both Canada and the world. R.B. Napier Headmaster

LEDICTGRY lzxerpts The tnotto ol' Ashbury is Probitas. Yirtus. Coinitas. which taken literally means integrity. strength. and fellowship. Ashburvs ttltitnate goal is to provide eaeh one of its students with a balance ol' these elements to produce a well-rounded indivtdualg indeed. the three concepts embodied in otir llltllltt are the toundation ot' an Ashbury education A . . . . . This year's graduating Class ls evidenee that the sehool's goal ol' giving eaeh student a well balanced liberal edueation is being attained. ln the elass ol' '88 we have outstanding aetors like Zaa. athletes sueh as Anf drew. musicians like John. eomputer geniuses like Pat. and an abundanee ot philosophers sueh as Todd and John. It is the Ashbury env ironinent w hieh has allowed us to realize ottr potential as students. as athletes, or in liotii llie address ol lan Nl.teR.te, head box. .ltttie lb.

The quality ol' lite 'round about the plaeef' and l believe that whether it be on the set ot Equtts . on the soeeer piteh or in the elassrootn. every member ofthe elass has given tiull effort and in so doing has left the sehool a little better than he found it.
