NOTES 


The  School  closed  on  Saturday,  June  12th.  The  Closing  Ceremonies  took 
a  somewhat  different  form  from  that  followed  in  previous  years  in  that  the 
Leaving  Service  and  the  Prize  Giving  were  preceded,  in  the  morning,  by  the 
Ceremonial  Cadet  Parade,  the  cadets  having  returned  the  previous  day  from 
Camp  Petawawa.  Details  of  the  ceremonies  and  an  account  of  the  activities 
at  Camp  Petawawa  appear  later  in  this  journal. 

At  the  Prize  Giving  the  Headmaster  announced  the  award  of  Ontario 
Scholarships  to  Steven  Whitwill,  Stephen  Went,  Robert  Halupka  and  Charles 
Schofield.  All  members  of  Grade  13  had  received  their  Secondary  School 
Honour  Graduation  Diploma. 

The  Stephen  Clifford  Memorial  Prize  was  presented  for  the  first  time  by 
Mr.  John  Clifford  to  the  boy  in  the  Junior  School  who  had  won  most  points 
for  his  house.  This  prize  has  been  given  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Clifford  in 
memory  of  their  son.  Stephen,  who  was  a  Monitor  in  Grade  8  in  1969-70. 

We  are  grateful  to  the  E.  R.  Fisher  Co.  Ltd.  for  the  donation  of  a  Bursary. 

There  have  been  several  developments  on  the  academic  side.  The  academic 
Staff  has  inaugurated  a  Scholarship.  The  decision  of  the  provincial  Depart- 
ment of  Education  to  change  the  requirements  for  Grade  13  as  of  September 
1971  gave  the  School  the  opportunity  to  remodel  its  curriculum.  The  range 
of  subjects  for  Grade  13  has  been  increased  and  these  subjects  set  in  such  a 
way  that  almost  any  combination  of  them  can  be  accommodated.  Furthermore, 
the  curricula  for  Grades  9  to  12  have  been  broadened,  and  the  School  now 
offers,  in  addition  to  all  the  previous  subjects,  courses  in  German,  the  three 
Sciences  ( on  a  much  wider  scale).  Geology  and  Commerce,  with  several 
alternatives  in  each  grade,  so  that  the  boys  may  take  courses  suited  to  both 
their  future  needs  and  present  intellectual  interests  and  abilities. 

Owing  to  increased  numbers  of  students  and  new  course  requirements,  two 
temporary  classrooms  are  being  added  for  use  until  new  plans  permit  more 
permanent  arrangements. 

In  September  Mr.  Marland  and  Mr.  Josselyn  took  a  party  of  over  thirty 
boys  from  both  the  Senior  and  Junior  Schools  on  a  highly  successful  visit  to 
Upper  Canada  Village. 

On  24th  September  Mr.  George  Vincent  visited  the  School  to  give  an 
illustrated  lecture  on  South  America.  Mr.  Vincent  was  wartime  Head  of  the 
Canadian  section  of  the  British  Ministry  of  Information  and.  later,  Informa- 
tion Adviser  to  the  British  High  Commissioner  in  Canada. 

As  part  of  the  History  programme  for  Grades  12  and  13,  speakers  from 
embassies  in  Ottawa  were  invited  to  address  the  classes  and  answer  questions. 
Many  interesting  and  often  heated  discussions  followed.  The  following  em- 
bassies sent  representatives:  the  People's  Republic  of  China.  West  Germany. 
India.  South  Africa,  the  United  Arab  Republic,  the  U.S.A.  and  the  U.S.S.R. 
In  addition  we  also  entertained  speakers  from  Carleton  University,  the  United 
Nations  Association,  the  Department  of  Indian  Affairs  and  the  Department 
of  External  Affairs. 


The  School  received  a  brief  but  welcome  visit  from  the  Canadian  Centen- 
nial Choir  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Nicholas  Goldschmidt;  Mr.  Geoffrey 
Thomson  was  the  accompanist. 

On  the  last  Sunday  and  Monday  of  the  Fall  term  the  two  traditional  Carol 
Services  were  held  —  one  for  the  School  and  one  for  visitors:  both  were  very 
well  attended.  Members  of  the  College  community  read  the  nine  lessons  and 
the  Choir  gave  a  good  account  of  itself  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Geoffrey 
Thomson. 

On  the  last  day  of  the  Winter  term  we  repeated  the  Winter  Sports  Day 
introduced  two  years  ago.  Some  four  bus-loads  of  boys  went  to  various  loca- 
tions: Camp  Fortune  and  Mont  Ste.  Marie  for  skiing  and  to  the  Y.M.C.A. 
centre  for  tobogganing.  The  day  concluded  with  the  Annual  Sports  Dinner 
held  at  the  School,  at  which  the  guest  speaker  was  Mr.  Harry  Kerrison, 
executive  director  of  the  Canadian  Track  and  Field  Association.  A  list  of 
Athletic  Awards  appears  in  the  Sports  section  of  the  Ashburian. 

On  12th  May  Ashbury  held  a  Visitor's  Day.  Parents  and  other  guests  were 
able  to  see  the  School  in  action,  both  in  the  classroom  and  on  the  games  field. 
This  was  well  attended  and  can  be  accounted  a  great  success. 

After  the  final  performance  of  the  Ashbury-Elmwood  production  of  "The 
Pirates  of  Penzance"  the  cast,  musical  and  stage  staff  were  entertained  by 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Conway,  whom  we  thank  for  their  hospitality. 

During  the  year  several  visits  were  made  to  the  Theatre  of  the  National 
Arts  Centre;  an  account  of  these  visits  appears  later  in  these  pages. 

Mr.  V.  J.  Burczak,  Mr.  C.  J.  Inns,  Mr.  F.  T.  Jones,  Mr.  G.  J.  McGuire  and 
Mr.  B.  Wallin  joined  the  academic  staff  in  September.  Mr.  F.  K.  Graham  has 
been  assisting  with  the  Chapel  music  and  giving  individual  music  tuition. 

In  September  1971  Mr.  G.  W.  Thomson  relinquishes  the  Chapel  and  Class 
Music  to  Mr.  Graham;  Mr.  Thomson  will  continue  as  Housemaster  of  Con- 
naught  House;  he  will  also  continue  to  teach  French  and  will  take  on  the 
additional  commitments  of  Music  and  Drama  at  Elmwood. 

For  the  Winter  and  Spring  terms  Simon  Peacock,  late  of  Tonbridge  School. 
England,  was  attached  to  the  School  as  tutor  in  the  Science  and  Mathematics 
Departments.  We  hope  that  he  enjoyed  his  stay  with  us,  thank  him  for  his 
effective  help  and  wish  him  well  in  the  future. 

No  member  of  the  academic  staff  is  leaving  this  summer,  but  regretfully 
we  lose  Mrs.  D.  Gwynne-Timothy,  Senior  School  Matron  since  September 
1968,  who  leaves  us  with  our  best  wishes  for  her  happiness  on  the  occasion 
of  her  marriage  to  Mr.  William  Thompson.  An  appreciation  of  Mrs.  Gwynne- 
Timothy  appears  on  a  later  page. 

Ashbury  College  is  now  clearly  identified  by  a  sign  hanging  in  front  of  the 
School  on  Mariposa  Avenue.  This  sign  is  the  gift  of  the  Graduating  Class  of 
1970. 


MRS  D.  GWYNNE-TIMOTHY 

"She's  as  Canadian  as  maple  syrup!" 

This  was  the  description  given  of  Mrs.  Gwynne-Timothy  in  reply  to  one  of 
several  questions  asked  by  a  very  interested  party  when  her  appointment  as 
Senior  School  Matron  was  announced  just  over  three  years  ago.  The  description 
was  entirely  accurate,  despite  her  long  and  happy  marriage  to  an  Englishman! 

She  came  to  us  thoroughly  well  versed  in  the  complex  pattern  of  boarding- 
school  life,  her  late  husband  having  been  a  member  of  the  staff  of  T.C.S.  for 
a  great  many  years.  The  knowledge  and  wisdom  she  gained  with  him  there 
meant  that  she  knew  better  than  to  rush  her  fences,  and  she  eased  herself  into 
the  job  here  with  tact  and  reticence.  As  a  result  of  this,  it  may  have  taken 
some  of  us  a  little  while  to  get  to  know  her  and  appreciate  her  full  worth  — 
but  it  was  only  a  very  little  while. 

The  personal  needs  of  boys  and  resident  staff  were  her  constant  concern, 
and  nothing  was  too  much  trouble  for  her  —  provided  (and  rightly  so)  she 
was  approached  with  due  courtesy  and  consideration.  She  never  seemed  to 
need  rest  or  sleep:  she  might  have  been  up  half  the  night  taking  a  boy  to 
hospital  or  tending  a  sick  housemaster,  and  yet  be  at  the  routine  chores  of 
linen  room  supervision  at  7.30  a.m.,  as  fresh  as  if  she'd  had  the  statutory 
eight  hours.  She  chose  her  staff  well  —  and,  having  chosen  them,  she  kept 
them:  they  showed  no  inclination  to  leave  —  what  they  did  show  (and  hope- 
fully will  go  on  showing)  was  loyalty  and  zeal  comparable  with  Mrs.  G-T's 
own. 

Now.  after  three  years  of  selfless  service,  she  leaves  us  to  marry  again. 
When  the  news  was  made  public,  we  were  unanimous  in  our  joy  and  happiness 
for  her  —  but  we  suddenly  realised  just  how  much  she  had  done  for  us  in  her 
unassuming  way.  and  how  much  we  were  going  to  miss  her. 

By  the  time  these  words  appear  in  print,  she  will  have  been  Mrs.  Bill 
Thompson  for  some  time,  and  perhaps  the  most  fitting  way  of  ending  this 
little  tribute  would  be  to  repeat  what  a  namesake  of  Bill's  said  at  the  Con- 
naught  House  dinner  in  June:  "If  she  looks  after  him  as  well  as  she's  looked 
after  us.  hell  be  spoilt  to  death!"

CONNAUGHT  HOUSE  NOTES 

What  a  fast  year  the  1970-71  school  year  was!  In  fact  I  wouldn't  be 
surprised  if  we'd  skipped  a  few  months  somewhere.  I  guess  the  fact  that  it 
did  go  by  so  quickly  was  an  indication  that  it  was  a  good  year. 

Never  before  have  competitions  been  so  hard  fought  and  so  evenly  matched. 
In  fact  whenever  the  houses  locked  heads,  the  margin  of  victory  proved  to  be 
very  slim  indeed. 

Two  excellent  examples  of  this  great  competitive  spirit  were  the  swim  meet 
where  Woollcombe  beat  us  by  a  very  small  margin  (a  mere  two  points),  and 
a  house  softball  game  where  our  last  innings  come-back  was  too  much  for 
Woollcombe  to  handle  (final  score  14-13). 

On  the  School  sports  field  Connaught  House  boys  were  very  active.  We 
were  well  represented  on  the  1st  Football  by  Anapolsky  I.  Wilansky.  Luciani 
I.  Smith  I.  Graham.  Stiles.  Boyd.  Charron.  Clubb.  Heaney.  Macdonald. 
Morrison  and  Schofield.  with  Stratton  as  manager.  Webster.  Cunningham, 
Croal.  Pimm.  Pryde.  Scott.  Tanos  and  Ross  played  2nd  Football. 


The  School's  very  successful  1st  Soccer  Team  consisted  mainly  of  Con- 
naught  talent  —  Hallett  (captain),  Harlley  (vice-captain),  Went,  Jokinen, 
Halupka,  Barnes,  Luciani  II,  Schwarzmann,  Bennett,  Macleod  II  and  Yaxley 
II,  with  McLellan  as  the  reliable  manager.  Lackie  (captain),  Anapolsky  II, 
Mangifesta,  Dickson,  Cahn,  Jelenick,  Johnston  and  Wilson  made  up  most  of 
the  second  team. 

In  the  winter  it  was  hockey,  with  Hallett  (captain),  Smith  I,  Graham. 
Boyd,  Morrison,  Pimm,  Pryde  and  Yaxley  II  representing  Connaught  on  the 
1st  team.  On  the  seconds  we  had  the  Anapolsky  brothers,  Luciani  II, 
(captain),  Webster,  Veilleux,  Mangifesta,  Cahn,  Croal,  Jelenick,  Johnston, 
Scott  —  and  the  worthy  manager,  Bonneau. 

We  provided  the  Ski  Team  with  Stratton  (captain),  Lackie  and  Hart, 
while  three-quarters  of  the  Curling  Team  was  from  Connaught  —  Schofield 
(captain),  Kenny  (vice-captain)  and  Yaxley  I. 

The  Swimming  Team  had  five  Connaught  members  —  Wilansky,  Whitwill. 
Dickson,  Schwarzmann  and  Harcourt. 

In  the  Spring  Term  the  only  activity  was  the  track  and  field  ( inter-school ) 
in  which  Connaught  members  did  very  well.  Harlley  was  captain,  and  the 
others  were  Kenny,  Morrison,  Wilansky,  Luciani  I,  Hallett,  Barnes, 
McTaggart,  Kerr,  Pimm  and  Scott. 

Off  the  sports  field  Connaught  was  also  tops.  The  Gilbert  and  Sullivan 
company  which  put  on  "The  Pirates  of  Penzance"  was  recruited  almost  solely 
from  Connaught  House.  The  five  leads  were  all  Connaught  —  Hallett. 
Graham,  Macdonald,  Stratton  and  Power.  We  provided  most  of  the  pirate- 
like fellows  in  the  chorus  —  Stiles,  Kenny,  MacDermot,  Haythornthwaite, 
Pearce  and  Jelenick.  The  back-stage  crew  was  Wilansky,  Luciani  II,  Power 
and  Stoddard.  As  usual,  the  whole  venture  was  under  the  direction  of  our 
Housemaster. 

The  strong  voice  of  Aboud  was  heard  no  more  in  the  Choir  after  Christ- 
mas, and  was  sorely  missed  by  the  other  members  —  Hallett,  Harlley.  Stratton, 
Dickson,  Macdonald,  Haythornthwaite  and  MacDermot.  The  Chapel  Com- 
mittee contained  Stiles  (president),  Hallett,  Harlley  and  Stratton.  Stratton 
was  also  head  of  the  Servers'  Guild,  ably  abetted  by  Cahn. 

Our  representatives  on  the  Dance  Committee  at  the  beginning  of  the  year 
were  Hallett,  Harlley  and  Wilansky.  However,  the  most  honourable  mention 
goes  to  Connell,  who  single-handedly  organized  the  best  Graduation  Dance 
Ashbury  has  ever  had. 

Connaught  House  boys  monopolized  the  Cadet  officer  and  N.C.O.  positions, 
with  Hallett  as  Major,  Graham  as  Captain  and  Luciani  I  as  C.S.M.  The 
lieutenants  were  Stiles  and  Morrison,  and  the  sergeants  were  Wilansky  (staff- 
sergeant),  Halupka,  Boyd  and  Clubb.  Went  was  sergeant  of  the  Honour 
Guard,  and  the  Guard  corporals  included  McTaggart,  Lackie,  Croal,  Jelenick 
and  Ross.  Our  representatives  in  the  Band  were  Harlley  (who  received  the 
award  for  the  best  bandsman),  Power  (lead  drummer),  Anapolsky  I, 
MacDermot,  Wright  and  Bennett. 

The  Public  Speaking  contest  was  won  by  Graham,  and  Boyd  came  second. 
Tanos  took  second  place  for  the  intermediates. 

A  semi-quiet  atmosphere  was  sometimes  achieved  by  Hallett  ( Head  ol 
House)  and  the  other  prefects  —  Graham,  Stiles,  Went  and  Harlley.  The 
Room  Captains  were  Halupka  (senior),  Stratton.  Kenny,  Jokinen.  Luciani  I 
and  Wilansky.  Things  were  usually  more  quiet  under  the  all-seeing  eye  of 
Mr.  Thomson,  our  Housemaster!  We  welcomed  Mr.  McGuire  as  Boarder 
House  Tutor,  and  Mr.  Niles  continued  to  look  after  the  Day  Boys.

Well,  this  year  will  always  be  remembered  by  all  members  of  the  House. 
Certainly  it  was  a  very  tumultuous  year,  but  Connaught  has  weathered  the 
storm  and,  if  anything,  come  out  stronger.  It  was  a  young  house  and  its  youth 
and  vitality  showed  up  time  and  time  again.  The  atmosphere  which  existed 
was  really  something  else,  mainly  because  the  House  was  so  much  closer  than 
it  had  ever  been  before.  There  was  much  more  rapport  between  those  on  top 
and  those  lower  down  the  ladder,  and  this  continually  showed  through. 

At  the  end  of  the  first  school  year  of  this  new  decade,  Connaught  House 
looks  in  great  shape.  If  it  can  continue  on  its  present  path  of  tremendously 
spirited  participation  in  all  activities,  its  future  is  assured. 

Sincerest  thanks.  I  think  from  everybody,  go  to  Mr.  Thomson  for  a  lead 
and  for  participation  and  interest  in  so  many  aspects  of  school  life. 

A  final  word  of  encouragement  —  "Good  Luck!1' 

D.  R.  Hallett 

Closing  Day  this  year  was  more  than  usually  poignant  for  Connaught  (or 
at  least  for  its  Housemaster!  )  because  we  said  farewell  to  so  many  fine  people 
who  have  been  with  the  House  since  its  inception  four  years  ago.  Next  year 
there  will  only  be  two  (or,  at  most,  three)  of  these  "' founder-members"  left. 
To  Dell  Hallett,  and  all  other  leavers  who  have  stayed  the  four-year  course, 
my  very  warmest  thanks  for  all  they  have  done  and  especially  for  the  stan- 
dards they  have  bequeathed  us,  which  have  resulted  in  the  House's  present 
healthy  condition.  Fortunately  those  who  will  lead  us  next  year  are  well 
versed  in  these  standards,  and  we  face  the  future  with  confidence.

EDITOR'S  NOTE 

The  Housemaster  of  Connaught  continued  to  act  as  music  critic  for  The 
Ottawa  Journal.  He  conducted  the  Canadian  Centennial  Choir  in  its  Christmas 
concert  at  the  National  Arts  Centre,  and  the  Ottawa  Civic  Symphony  Orchestra 
in  its  winter  concert  at  the  High  School  of  Commerce.  He  has  also  appeared 
on  radio  (as  a  member  of  a  panel  of  music  critics  in  CBO's  "The  Music 
Scene" )  and  on  television  ( in  a  service  relayed  from  Trinity  Anglican  Church, 
where  he  is  Organist  and  Choir  Director). 

WOOLLCOMBE  HOUSE  NOTES 

Woollcombe  House  began  the  year  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Joyce.  Mr. 
C.  J.  Inns,  who  came  to  Ashbury  this  year  from  England,  was  appointed 
House  Master  at  the  beginning  of  the  Winter  term.  Mr.  H.  Penton  once  again 
filled  the  post  of  Master  in  Charge  of  Woollcombe  House  Day  Boys.  The 
prefects  were  Charles  Maclaren — Head  of  House — Mike  Kelly,  Marc  Duguay 
and  Dave  McNeil.  Head  of  Day  Boys.  The  Room  Captains  were  Lennie 
Rosenhek,  Roger  Ramsay,  Kostas  Rimsa.  Jay  Ronalds  and  Ken  Hansen. 

This  year  in  the  inter-house  games  we  greatly  improved  our  record.  In 
soccer,  hockey  and  curling  we  shared  the  honours  in  each  sport,  each  House 
winning  one  game.  In  a  very  close  and  exciting  swimming  competition 
Woollcombe  defeated  Connaught  in  the  last  event. 

At  the  Sports  Dinner  in  March.  Bruce  Weiner  was  presented  with  the 
trophy  for  the  Best  Linesman  in  the  football  team  and  Mike  Kelly  was  judged 
the  Most  Valuable  Player.  In  skiing.  Jim  Cuttle  was  the  Most  Valuable  Skier 
and  Tony  Seay  was  the  best  Cross-Country  Skier.  Mike  Kell)  was  also  the 
Most  Valuable  Plaver  in  the  Hockey. 


11 


For  the  Cadet  Inspection  this  year  Jim  Beqaj  was  Lieutenant  Number  3 
platoon;  Mike  Kelly  was  Band  Major  and  Charles  Maclaren  was  Lieutenant 
of  the  Guard  of  Honour. 

As  the  term  draws  to  a  close  the  last  gathering  of  "the  House"  will  be  on 
June  11th  at  the  Chateau  Laurier  Hotel  for  the  House  Dinner.  To  show  our 
appreciation  for  a  most  rewarding  year  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Inns,  one 
final  Woollcombe  House  cheer: 

Give  me  an  "I"! 

Give  me  an  "N"! 

Give  me  an  "N"! 

Give  me  an  "S"! 

What  have  we  got?  "INNS".

CHAPEL  NOTES 

Because  in  a  small  way  this  year's  Chapel  life  was  a  little  less  Chaplain- 
dominated  and  a  little  more  student-oriented  I  have  asked  students  to  con- 
tribute to  this  year's  account  of  Chapel  activities.  Sandy  Stiles,  who  headed 
our  Chapel  Committee,  and  Bill  Stratton,  our  Chief  Server,  each  have  some- 
thing to  say.  And  so  do  I  —  Thank  you,  Sandy  and  Bill,  for  the  excellent 
way  you  each  efficiently  and  cheerfully  filled  the  important  positions  entrusted 
to  you.  We  had  a  great  Confirmation  group  this  year  about  which  Adrian 
Haythornthwaite  reports. 

My  own  comments  are  mainly  by  way  of  expressing  gratitude.  The  Head- 
master deserves  thanks  for  his  support  of  the  Chapel.  An  example  of  this 
support  is  reflected  in  the  $610.00  we  were  able  to  give  away.  By  making 
other  arrangements  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Chapel,  Mr.  Joyce  has  made 
it  possible  for  every  cent  of  money  put  on  the  Chapel  collection  plate  to  be 
used  for  charitable  purposes. 

As  ever  Mr.  Thomson  rightly  receives  our  appreciation  for  the  skilful  way 
he  gets  the  best  out  of  our  organ  and  our  choir.  The  congregational  singing 
was  greatly  improved  by  the  end  of  the  year  and  that  is  a  real  accomplishment. 

Prefects,  your  dependability  in  the  reading  of  lessons  and  other  duties  does 
not  go  unnoticed.  We  thank  you  as  we  thank  the  Servers  and  Committee 
members. 

There  are  many  individuals  who  deserve  bouquets.  For  example  there  is 
Mrs.  Gwynne-Timothy,  who  took  such  good  care  of  the  Chapel,  and  Mr. 
Humphreys,  who  produced  the  words  for  "Jesus  Christ  -  Superstar".  Would 
the  many  persons  who  worked  so  hard  in  the  Chapel  please  accept  the  thanks 
of  the  entire  College. 

The  biggest  thanks  of  all  is  my  personal  thanks  to  the  students  for  letting 
me  be  Chaplain.  I  very  much  treasure  your  friendship  and  am  grateful  that 
you  treat  me  as  a  person  —  with  all  the  ups  and  downs  involved.  I  believe 
that  Ashbury  College  has  grown  a  little  as  a  community  of  persons  who 
respect  each  other  and  I'm  glad  to  be  part  of  it. 

Here's  something  to  think  about:  "One's  friends  are  that  part  of  the  human 
race  with  which  one  can  be  human"  —  George  Santayana. 

And  don't  forget  what  Jesus  said  —  "I  call  you  my  friends".

SERVERS'  GUILD 

This  year  has  hecn  one  of  the  most  active  for  the  Ashhury  College  Servers" 
Guild.  Our  duties  varied  from  taking  part  in  pre-service  seminars  to  helping 
to  put  up  loudspeakers  in  the  Chapel  for  recordings. 

This  was  the  first  year  that  a  10  a.m.  Holy  Eucharist  was  held  every 
Sundav.  A  thirty-minute  seminar  was  held  before  each  service  during  the 
first  two  terms.  During  one  service,  Mr.  Green  arranged  a  re-enactment  of  the 
Last  Supper  for  the  benefit  of  the  Confirmation  Class.  On  another  occasion, 
during  Easter,  a  large  cross  was  suspended  from  the  ceiling  to  help  us  all 
understand  more  fully  the  meaning  of  Christ's  Crucifixion.  Each  service  was 
conducted  with  a  modern  version  of  the  Liturgy,  which  shortened  the  service 
considerably. 

Evensong  was  held  each  Sunday  at  7.15  p.m.  Lessons  were  read  by  the 
Headmaster  and  Prefects.  We  had  many  interesting  speakers  during  the 
course  of  the  year,  their  topics  ranging  from  world  affairs  to  responsibility. 
Two  services  were  devoted  entirely  to  the  recording  of  "Jesus  Christ  -  Super- 
star*", and  there  were  several  folk  services,  all  of  which  offered  a  welcome 
change  from  the  format  of  the  regular  services. 

Two  morning  services  were  held  every  Tuesday.  Wednesday  and  Thursday 
at  8.30  and  8.45.  Lessons  were  read  by  the  Prefects  and  Monitors.  Mr.  Green 
put  us  in  the  mood  of  the  day  with  a  prayer  and  a  word  of  wisdom.  The  Friday 
morning  services  were  devoted  to  the  improvement  of  the  student  voice  and 
an  increased  knowledge  of  hymns.  The  so-called  sing-alongs  were  directed  b\ 
Mr.  Thomson,  who  by  the  end  of  the  year  had  us  all  singing  several  new 
hymns. 

I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  personally  to  thank  all  those  who 
helped  me  serve  throughout  the  year.  Special  thanks  to  Mrs.  Gwynne-Timothy. 
who  arranged  the  sacred  vessels  and  other  furnishings  for  the  services.  I 
sincerely  hope  that  those  members  of  the  student  body  who  have  helped  in  the 
Chapel  this  year  will  continue  to  do  so  in  the  future  and  keep  the  Ashbury 
College  Servers"  Guild  well-organized  and  active.

THE  CHAPEL  COMMITTEE 

The  Chaplain,  the  Reverend  E.  E.  Green,  has  this  year  done  much  to 
improve  our  Sunday  services,  which  have  until  recently  been  somewhat 
routine.  He  has  changed  the  order  of  service  occasionally  and  invited  interest- 
ing speakers,  who  were  more  often  than  not  short  and  to  the  point,  affecting 
us  more. 

Sometimes  seven  or  eight  boys  participated  in  the  service  by  reading  short 
dialogues,  so  furthering  our  interest  and  involvement.  Towards  the  end  of  the 
last  term  the  recording  of  "Jesus  Christ  -  Superstar"  was  played;  this,  I  feel, 
was  most  successful  in  terms  of  holding  the  congregation's  attention  and  I 
would  like  to  thank  the  Chaplain  for  making  that  possible.  Also,  Mr.  Thomson 
has  added  some  new  hymns,  which  again  has  helped  the  service  to  become 
more  enjoyable. 

This  year  the  School  has  been  successful  in  raising  funds  for  various  good 
causes.  Over  S600  were  given  as  follows: 

to  Ottawa-Carleton   United   Appeal  $   50.00 

for  refugee  work  in  Vietnam  30.00 

for  flood  relief  in  Pakistan  100.00 

to  St.  Michael's  Mission,  South  Africa  200.00 

to  Ottawa  Miles  for  Millions  80.00 

to  the  Bishop  of  Ottawa  for  local  charity  100.00 

to  the  Ontario  Older  Boys'  Parliament  50.00 

The  Chaplain  organized  a  "Grub  Day"  for  the  School.  The  "grubbiest" 
student  received  a  money  prize;  the  250  entrance  fees  went  to  the  Kwashiorkor 
Home  in  South  Africa. 

Mr.  Green  has  always  been  friendly  and  helpful,  which  I'm  sure  has  been 
much  appreciated.  My  hearty  thanks  to  him,  and  special  thanks  to  my  col- 
leagues of  the  Chapel  Committee  who  have  assisted  me  in  my  position  as 
president.  Thanks  also  to  you  out  there  in  the  congregation  for  your  partici- 
pation on  those  Sunday  evenings.  Best  luck  to  all. 

A.  J.  Stiles 


THE  CONFIRMATION 

The  Confirmation  Service  was  held  in  the  Ashbury  College  Chapel  on  the 
21st  of  February,  1971.  The  Chaplain  presented  15  of  us  to  Bishop  Robinson 
of  the  Diocese  of  Ottawa.  There  were  nine  from  Ashbury  and  six  from  Elm- 
wood.  Our  First  Communion  involved  three  successive  Sundays  in  March. 

We  all  sincerely  thank  Mr.  Green  for  preparing  and  presenting  us  for  the 
"Laying  on  of  Hands".

ASHBURY  COLLEGE  LADIES'  GUILD 
PRESIDENT'S  REPORT 


It  is  a  privilege  for  one  to  outline  for  you  the  activities  and  achievements 
of  the  Ladies'  Guild  for  1970/71. 

From  the  Treasurer's  Report  we  have  learned  that  financially  it  has  been 
a  very  successful  year.  A  large  percentage  of  Mothers  are  paid  up  members 
and  the  receipts  from  our  two  major  projects,  the  Clothing  Sale  and  the 
Pyramid  Luncheons,  are  in  excess  of  One  Thousand  dollars  (SI, 000).  We 
were  the  recipients  of  some  generous  donations  for  which  we  are  sincerely 
grateful.  Seventy-eight  packages  of  Hasti-Notes  were  sold,  a  large  percentage 
being  purchased  by  out-of-town  Mothers. 

The  usual  two  meetings  were  held.  Mr.  Joyce  and  Mr.  Sherwood  addressed 
our  Fall  Meeting,  and  at  the  Spring  Meeting  Mr.  Byford  and  Mr.  Beedell 
spoke  to  us  on  the  Science  Programme  at  Ashbury.  Both  Meetings  were  well 
attended  with  some  eighty  members  present  at  each  meeting.  Following  the 
meetings  luncheon  was  served,  courtesy  of  the  College. 

At  the  June  Closing,  the  Guild  donated  Book  Prizes  in  the  amount  of 
Nineteen  dollars  and  ten  cents  ($19.10),  and  Merit  Prizes  of  Fifty  dollars 
(S50)  each  for  Grades  9  to  13  inclusive.  The  latter  prizes,  which  replace  the 
Bursary  formerly  given,  are  awarded  on  the  basis  of  all-round  effort  and  have 
been  most  enthusiastically  received  by  both  Students  and  Staff. 

Six  cottas  and  a  red  cassock  were  purchased  for  the  Choir  and  Mr.  Thomson 
was  given  Fifty  dollars  ($50)  to  take  the  Choir  on  an  Outing.  The  Christmas 
Carol  Service  is  surely  one  of  the  highlights  of  the  school  year  and  the  Guild 
was  honoured  as  your  President  was  asked  to  take  part  in  it. 

At  the  Fall  Meeting,  the  members  voted  to  cash  a  Bond  for  Five  Hundred 
dollars  (  S500 )  when  it  matured  in  January  and  to  use  the  money  to  redecorate 
and  furnish  the  Infirmary  Sitting  Room.  The  room  doubles  as  a  sitting  room 
where  Parents  may  meet  privately  with  their  son(s)  when  visiting  them  at 
School.  The  work  was  completed  in  time  for  the  Spring  Meeting  and  the 
members  were  delighted  with  the  results.  The  Infirmary  itself  was  brightened 
with  new  bedspreads  and  curtains  and  new  furniture  was  purchased  for  the 
Prefects*   Common   Room. 

The  television  set  in  the  Junior  Common  Room  was  repaired  and  games 
were  purchased  for  the  Junior  boarders.  The  Junior  boys  having  the  tidiest 
room  were  taken  to  a  movie  at  our  expense. 

At  the  request  of  Mr.  Joyce  that  we  discontinue  our  support  in  furnishing 
the  Common  Rooms,  because  of  wilful  damage  to  newly  purchased  furniture 
and  the  added  responsibility  it  places  on  the  Boys  and  the  Staff,  the  members 
at  the  Spring  Meeting  voted  to  abolish  the  Common  Rooms"  Fund  and  to 
establish  in  its  place  the  Project  Fund.  In  accordance  with  this,  instead  of 
furnishing  the  Commons  Rooms,  the  Meeting  voted  to  purchase  much  needed 
equipment  for  the  Science  Department.  A  cheque  for  Twelve  Hundred  dollars 
(SI, 200)  was  presented  to  Mr.  Joyce  to  purchase  equipment  that  is  required 
to  update  the  Science  Programme,  namely.  Microscopes  and  Specimens  for 
the  Biology  Department,  nine  Optical  Benches  and  other  pieces  of  electrical 
equipment  for  the  Physics  Department  and  a  Ph  Meter  for  the  Chemistry 
Department. 


Lastly  the  Guild  Executive  was  delighted  and  thoroughly  enjoyed  co-oper- 
ating with  the  Old  Boys'  Association  at  the  time  of  their  Reunion  in  October. 

My  Executive  consisted  of: — 

Honorary  President  —  Mrs.  W.  A.  Joyce 

Past  President  —  Mrs.  B.  H.  Chick 

Vice-President  —  Mrs.  D.  G.  Harcourt 

Secretary  —  Mrs.  W.  A.  Scott 

Treasurer  —  Mrs.  T.  L.  Bates 

Assistant  Treasurer  —  Mrs.  E.  D.  Boyd 

Ways  &  Means  —  Mrs.  L.  M.  Johnston 

Hasti-Notes  —  Mrs.  T.  C.  Assaly 

Members  —  Mrs.  D.  D.  Hogarth 

—  Mrs.  W.  J.  Mulock 

—  Mrs.  C.  Don 

—  Mrs.  D.  K.  Stilborn 

—  Mrs.  G.  K.  Ellacott 
Montreal  Representative  —  Mrs.  P.  H.  Davies 

In  closing  I  would  like  you  to  know  how  much  I  have  enjoyed  being  your 
President  for  the  past  year.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  and  an  honour  to  serve 
this  fine  School.  My  most  sincere  thanks  to  all  the  Executive  for  their  co- 
operation and  for  fulfilling  their  duties  so  capably.  I  would  also  like  to  thank 
Mr.  Joyce  and  Mr.  Sherwood  who  have  assisted  us  in  every  possible  way.  Our 
gratitude  is  also  extended  to  all  the  members  of  the  Staff,  with  special  thanks 
to  the  Office  Staff. 

My  sincere  best  wishes  to  my  successor,  Mrs.  Harcourt,  and  her  Executive. 
I  am  sure  that  they  will  enjoy  the  same  co-operation  and  enthusiasm  that  I 
have  experienced. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

JOAN  HENDERSON. 

Mrs.  Gordon  F.  Henderson. 

President, 

Ashbury    College    Ladies'    Guild. 


THE  SOUTHAM  LIBRARY 

The  Library  has  had  a  good  year,  perhaps  its  best  so  far,  with  all  kinds  of 
activities  taking  place.  It  is  a  far  cry  from  the  sepulchral  atmosphere  of  the 
average  public  library,  but  wc  are  fortunate  in  that  our  small  number  permits 
us  to  indulge  in  a  freer,  less  restrained  atmosphere  than  that  which  is  neces- 
sary when  larger  groups  are  involved.  Nevertheless,  in  spite  of  the  relaxed 
appearance,  consideration  is  given  to  those  desiring  quiet  and,  with  few 
exceptions,  it  has  been  possible  to  revert  lo  subdued  tones  whenever  requested. 
This  highlights  tolerance,  and  a  willingness  amongst  the  more  exuberant  to 
co-operate  with  their  fellow  students. 


16 


Perhaps  because  of  a  less  rigid  attitude,  the  Library  has  become  more  pop- 
ular. More  people  are  finding  their  way  there  and  certainly  much  greater 
use  is  being  made  of  the  books,  and  the  variety  of  magazines  must  surely 
satisfy  most  tastes! 

Mention  should  be  made  of  the  successful  stamp  club  held  in  the  Library 
each  Thursday  throughout  the  Fall  and  Winter  terms.  A  tremendous  enthu- 
siasm was  evident,  and  more  than  one  onlooker  became  an  avid  collector  long 
before  the  Spring  term  and  the  better  weather  saw  other  activities  replace 
this  indoor  attraction. 

The  Junior  School  newspaper  found  the  Library  tables  useful  when  finally 
putting  the  paper  together,  and  this  was  done  in  a  very  business-like  fashion, 
with  an  efficiency  which  did  them  credit. 

A  large  stock  of  magazines  has  accumulated,  and  these,  mostly,  are  reserved 
for  those  wishing  to  "cut  out""  for  various  projects  —  very  popular  with 
Junior  School! 

Once  again  many  fine  donations  have  been  received,  and  we  extend  our 
thanks  to  all  those  listed  below.  Mr.  W.  J.  R.  Wilson  deserves  special  mention 
and  thanks  for  his  continued  support  with  regular  monthly  donations  of  books. 

An  organization  of  Old  Boys  and  Friends  of  Ashbury  College  in  the  United 
States  contributed  funds  to  the  Library,  and  a  set  of  Colliers  Student  Encyclo- 
paedia was  purchased  as  a  lasting  reminder  of  a  very  generous  gift.  We  would 
like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  express  our  gratitude  and  thanks  to  the 
members. 

The  librarians  have  worked  willingly  and  well  throughout  the  year,  and  I 
extend  my  grateful  thanks  to  them  all. 

Mary    Loftus 
Librarian.

PUBLIC  SPEAKING 


"This  I  believe  .  .  ."  was  the  1971  theme  of  the  Optimist  International 
Oratorical  Contest.  Ashbury  entered  Hugh  Christie,  Robert  Pimm  and  Mat- 
thew Rowlinson  in  the  local  contest  sponsored  by  the  Ottawa  Optimist  Club. 
Each  of  the  boys  did  exceedingly  well  with  Matthew  winning  the  second 
place  trophy.  The  1972  theme  is  "Our  Challenge  —  Involvement".  Ashbury 
might  well  consider  involvement  in  public  speaking  contests  as  a  challenge 
for  next  year.  The  Optimist  sponsored  venture  starts  with  local  district  com- 
petitions and  ends  with  North  American  finals. 

David  Heaney  and  Stephen  Stirling  entered  the  Ottawa  district  public 
speaking  contest  sponsored  by  the  Ontario  Public  School  Trustee  Association 
and  the  Ontario  Hydro.  In  the  prepared  speech  section  David  came  second 
and  in  the  impromptu  section  Stephen  came  first.  Stephen  went  on  to  win  the 
zone  final.  In  Toronto  at  the  Ontario  finals  he  competed  with  high  school 
students  from  all  over  the  province.  Hydro  arranged  a  tour  at  Niagara  Falls 
and  a  banquet  at  Toronto's  King  Edward  Hotel  for  all  contestants.  It  was  an 
enjoyable  and  worthwhile  effort. 

In  the  School  itself  we  had  one  of  our  best  Public  Speaking  contests  ever. 
In  the  Senior  competition  Jeffrey  Graham  won  the  Gary  Horning  Memorial 
Prize  over  Brian  Boyd,  Norman  Clubb  and  Sean  Power.  Intermediate  con- 
testants were  Hugh  Christie,  Stuart  Jelenick,  Nicholas  Polk,  Matthew 
Rowlinson  and  Stephen  Tanos.  Matthew  emerged  as  winner  of  the  Ross 
McMaster  Prize.  Judges  Leslie  Barnes,  James  Barnett  and  John  Charnell  were 
very  impressed  by  the  high  standards  exhibited  by  all  participants. 

The  senior  contestants  mainly  focused  on  life  at  Ashbury  for  their  speeches. 
A  good  deal  of  sensitive  awareness  and  mature  judgement  was  shown  in  the 
constructive  criticism  they  offered.  Jeff  Graham  brought  the  assembly  to  its 
feet  in  thunderous  applause.  Nothing  could  have  better  demonstrated  the 
power  of  the  orator  and  the  validity  of  stressing  public  speaking  in  Ashbury.

THE  THEATRE 


The  School  in  large  and  small  numbers  made  a  total  of  twelve  trips  to  the 
theatre,  eleven  of  those  to  the  National  Arts  Centre.  The  musical,  "Half  a 
Sixpence",  staged  at  Lasalle  Academy  by  The  Ottawa  Little  Theatre,  was 
atended  by  a  small  group  in  the  latter  half  of  the  Winter  term.  A  light 
musical  comedy  which  enjoyed  some  success  on  Broadway,  "Half  a  Sixpence" 
amused  and  entertained  those  who  went.  A  larger  group  was  organized  to 
attend  The  Ottawa  Little  Theatre's  production  of  Noel  Coward's  "Hay  Fever" 
presented  in  the  Theatre  of  the  NAC.  Both  the  lyrics  and  action  of  this  forty 
year  old  comedy  delighted  the  youthful  but  not  undemanding  audience  of 
Ashbury  students.  This  particular  production  served  to  raise  funds  for  the 
Ottawa  Little  Theatre,  which  was  experiencing  financial  difficulties  as  the 
result  of  the  destruction  by  fire  of  its  long-time  stamping  grounds  on  King 
Edward  Avenue. 


18 


The  Theatre  of  the  NAC  was  where  the  majority  of  the  School's  excursions 
headed.  The  Stratford  National  Theatre  of  Canada  presented  "Tartuffe"  and 
"Cymbeline"  in  the  Fall,  and  "The  Duchess  of  Main"  and  ""Much  Ado  About 
Nothing"  in  the  Winter.  Both  "Cymbeline"  and  "The  Duchess  of  Malfi" 
strained,  at  times,  the  credulity  of  a  generation  used  to  the  exposition  of 
stark  realism  on  film  and  to  relying  on  the  subtleties  of  expression  which  can 
be  caught  only  by  the  camera.  The  Elizabethans  relied  almost  exclusively  on 
words  to  communicate  feeling,  and  one's  involvement  with  what  was  happen- 
ing on  stage  decreased  as  the  evening  lengthened.  In  fact  both  productions 
were  close  to  three  and  a  half  hours  long  and,  if  drowsiness  was  not  experienced 
close  to  the  end  of  each,  certainly  one's  powers  of  concentration  had  suffered 
a  significant  decline.  Nevertheless,  a  large  group  witnessed  both  productions 
and  were  unanimous  in  realizing  the  importance  of  experiencing  Elizabethan 
theatre  even  though  it  wasn't  at  its  best.  I  understand  that  "Tartuffe"  and 
"Much  Ado  About  Nothing"  were  more  successful. 

The  rendering  of  Ibsen's  "Enemy  of  the  People"  by  the  St.  Lawrence 
Centre  of  the  Arts  was  an  unqualified  success;  not  only  because  it  dealt  with 
the  current  issue  of  pollution,  but  also  because  of  superb  acting  and  direction. 
The  setting  was  a  small  town  in  Saskatchewan  and  the  time  was  'now'.  Even 
so  the  essence  of  Ibsen's  insight  remained  intact.  A  man  who  holds  views  that 
run  contrary  to  the  mainstream  of  opinion  struggles  to  express  these  views 
and  have  them  acted  upon,  because  he  strongly  believes  he  is  right.  But  he 
and  his  views  are  unacceptable  to  the  community  because  both  assault  the 
self-interests  of  too  many  factions.  The  presentation  of  this  theme  was 
dramatically  persuasive. 

The  bilingual  members  of  the  School  went  to  see  productions  of  Moliere's 
"Le  Misanthrope"  and  Camus"  "Caligula".  Mr.  Glover  and  Mr.  Inns  of  the 
French  Department  reported  that  both  were  received  with  enthusiasm  and 
interest  by  those  attending.  It  is  heartening  to  think  that  the  School  is  in  a 
position  to  take  advantage  of  these  NAC  French-language  productions. 

The  Charlottetown  Festival  Company  arrived  at  the  NAC  Opera  House  in 
the  Fall  to  perform  "Anne  of  Green  Gables"  and  "Private  Turvey's  War". 
The  Junior  School  and  grade  Nines  went  to  the  former  and  discovered  first 
hand  why  it  was  a  "hit'.  Most  of  the  remainder  of  the  School  saw  "Private 
Turvey's  War".  It  moved  quickly  and  was  frequently  amusing,  though  I  was 
disappointed  that  I  didn't  opt  to  see  "Anne  of  Green  Gables".  The  general 
opinion  suggests  that  it  was  the  better  of  the  two. 

Last,  but  not  least  by  any  means,  a  large  group  enjoyed  the  1970  production 
of  "Love  and  Maple  Syrup".  A  gathering  of  songs  and  poems  by  Canadians 
was  performed  with  gusto  by  a  talented  group  of  six.  I  was  delighted  to  see 
that  a  poem  by  an  old  school  friend  of  mine,  Pierre  Coupey,  was  included  in 
the  program.  No  doubt  one  or  two  members  of  the  Ashbury  audiences  will 
receive  credits  one  day  for  a  similar  achievement.  If  the  majority  of  them 
don't  reach  such  a  pinnacle  of  artistic  success,  after  this  year's  exposure  to 
the  theatre,  thev  will  unquestionably  form  knowledgeable  and  interested 
audiences  of  the  future.  Thanks  for  this  is  entirely  due  to  Mr.  Peter  Josselyn, 
Head  of  the  English  Department.  His  enthusiasm  for  the  theatre  has  commun- 
icated itself  to  the  whole  of  the  student  body.  I  speak  for  staff  and  students 
when  I  extend  thanks  for  his  untiring  organizational  efforts  and  his  inspi- 


ration.

THE  PIRATES  OF  PENZANCE  AT  ELMWOOD 

For  the  fifth  year  in  succession  Ashbury  joined  forces  with  Elmwood  to 
present  a  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  opera  —  this  time  "The  Pirates  of  Penzance". 

Although  this  is  one  of  the  shorter  Savoy  operas,  it  poses  problems  to  an 
amateur  company.  There  is  very  little  spoken  dialogue;  much  of  the  story  is 
told  through  recitative  and  arioso,  and  it  is  essential  that  every  point  should 
get  across  clearly.  It  is  also  one  of  the  best  known  and  frequently  performed 
of  all  comic  operas;  consequently  every  production  runs  far  more  risk  of 
comparison  with  other  productions. 

It  is  pleasant  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  Ashbury-Elmwood  team  solved 
these  problems  successfully.  We  were  able  to  follow  the  story  with  no  trouble, 
and  the  production  did  not  have  to  fear  comparison  with  others.  Indeed,  one 
member  of  the  audience,  who  has  had  much  to  do  with  both  amateur  and 
professional  theatre,  was  heard  to  say  that  this  was  the  best  school  presentation 
of  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  she  had  ever  seen. 

It  was  certainly  far  and  away  the  best  of  the  five  which  this  company  has 
mounted.  It  had  pace,  clarity,  good  movement  and  grouping,  and  mainly 
excellent  performances  in  the  leading  roles.  It  is,  however,  time  that  Mr. 
Geoffrey  Thomson  discovered  some  new  dance  steps,  or  looked  for  a  profes- 
sional choreographer! 

Of  the  principals,  pride  of  place  must  be  given  to  the  hero  and  heroine  — 
Dell  Hallett  and  Jacqueline  Hurd.  They  have  both  had  plenty  of  experience 
in  past  productions,  and  this  obviously  paid  dividends.  There  was  no  gauche- 
ness  or  embarrassment  in  their  love  scenes,  and  they  both  acted  with 
sincerity,  conviction  and  assurance.  Jacqueline  Hurd's  singing  voice  is  small, 
but  she  uses  it  musically  and  intelligently,  and  she  shows  a  promising  com- 
mand of  coloratura  technique  —  a  technique  which  is  called  for  pretty  often 
in  this  part. 

Dell  Hallett  showed  that  he  is  a  rare  phenomenon  among  teen-agers  (or 
adults,  for  that  matter)  —  a  natural  tenor.  He  encompassed  his  high  notes 
easily  and  with  no  sign  of  strain  or  effort,  his  enunciation  was  excellent,  and 
he  caught  to  perfection  all  the  many  and  varied  moods  of  his  immensely 
long  part. 

Both  these  two  show  very  real  promise.  We  regret  that  this  was  their  fare- 
well appearance  in  Rockcliffe  Park,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  they  will  lose 
no  opportunity  of  gaining  further  musical  and  dramatic  experience;  indeed, 
they  ought  to  study  singing  seriously. 

But  perhaps  the  finest  all-round  performance  of  the  evening  came  from 
Jennifer  Chance  as  Ruth  —  Gilbert's  usual  old  maid,  unloved  and  on  the 
shelf.  Her  facial  expressions  and  sense  of  timing  were  superb,  particularly  in 
the  long  duet  with  Frederick,  when  he  accuses  her  of  deception.  Jennifer 
Chance  is  another  who  will  be  a  great  loss  to  the  company,  and  who  should 
not  let  her  talents  go  to  waste. 

There  were  two  very  promising  debuts.  The  first  was  Sean  Power  as  the 
Sergeant  of  Police.  He  is  a  natural  clown;  he  tended  to  overdo  the  buffoonery 
at  times,  but  it  is  far  easier  for  a  producer  to  curb  excesses  than  to  get  blood 
out  of  a  stone!  Sean  Power  is  no  stone,  and  we  look  forward  to  further 
manifestations  of  his  great  gift  for  comedy. 


20 


The  other  auspicious  debut  was  Jeffrey  Graham's  Pirate  King.  He  had  good 
presence,  and  was  highly  successful  in  striking  the  necessary  balance  between 
the  character's  sham  blustering  and  innate  pleasantness.  He  sang  vigorously 
(although  alarmingly  sharp  at  times!),  and  infected  everyone  with  his  own 
huge  enjoyment  of  the  whole  thing. 

It  was  a  pity  that  John  Macdonald,  another  seasoned  veteran  of  these 
affairs,  should  have  found  himself  miscast  in  his  final  appearance.  He  has 
done  excellent  work  in  past  productions  in  the  "nice  boy'"  type  of  part,  but 
the  "nice  boy"'  characteristic  won't  do  for  the  Major-General,  and  he  seemed 
nervous  and  ill  at  ease  —  particularlv  in  the  famous  (and  extremely  difficult ) 
patter  song.  Even  so,  his  past  achievements  mean  that  he  is  another  who  will 
be  much  missed  in  the  future. 

In  smaller  parts  Jane  Ginsberg,  Jane  Hampson,  Ingrid  Sorensen  and  Bill 
Stratton  all  acquitted  themselves  well. 

The  three  factions  of  the  chorus  were  all  good  in  their  various  ways.  The 
Ashbury  boys  made  splendid  pirates,  and  some  of  the  lecherous  glee  displayed 
by  the  younger  ones,  when  told  that  they  could  help  themselves  to  the  Major- 
General's  daughters,  was  so  convincingly  natural  that  one  wonders  if  the 
Grade  Nine  curriculum  needs  careful  scrutiny!  The  policemen  were  por- 
trayed ably  (and  aptly!)  by  Ashbury  masters.  The  girls  looked  as  charming 
as  always,  but  seemed  just  a  little  more  inhibited  than  some  of  their  prede- 
cessors; they  were  less  successful  than  the  boys  in  the  vital  job  of  reacting  to 
dramatic  situations  and  staying  in  character,  and  their  singing,  although 
pretty  and  accurate,  was  somewhat  muted. 

The  sets  were  adequate,  but  the  lighting  was  poor.  Costumes  were  good, 
and  make-up  was  better  than  ever  before. 

Mrs.  Lorna  Harwood-Jones  was  a  tower  of  strength  at  the  piano,  and  was 
always  ready  to  save  musical  situations  on  the  stage  which  threatened  to 
become  critical;  fortunately  she  did  not  have  to  render  this  all-important 
service  very  often. 

Mr.  Geoffrey  Thomson.  Producer  and  Musical  Director,  is  to  be  congrat- 
ulated on  his  firm  musical  and  dramatic  command,  without  which  this 
production  could  not  have  reached  so  high  a  standard.

CADETS 

The  Cadet  Corps  took  on  a  new  look  this  year  with  the  emphasis  heing 
taken  off  drill  and  placed  on  a  varied  program  of  activities.  During  the  winter 
term  cadets  were  able  to  choose  from  a  number  of  groups,  including  orien- 
teering, first  aid  and  canoe-building.  This  change  from  the  regular  routine 
was  well  received. 

During  the  first  term  two  groups  of  20  and  then  50  students,  composed 
partly  of  girls  from  Elm  wood,  went  on  week-end  camping  trips  to  the  wilds 
of  the  Gatineau.  This  was  just  a  prelude  to  the  major  cadet  activity  of  the 
year:  an  excursion  of  the  whole  School,  including  Mr.  Joyce,  to  Camp 
Petawawa  during  the  last  three  days  of  the  year.  The  trip  was  designed  to 
introduce  the  School  to  outdoor  camping,  and  it  was  highlighted  by  orien- 
teering competitions,  rides  in  tanks,  and  combat  rations.  In  spite  of  the 
inevitable  grumbles,  there  is  no  doubt  that  this  was  a  worthwhile  experience. 

On  Closing  Day  the  Corps  was  inspected  by  Major-General  G.  H.  Spencer, 
O.B.E.,  CD.  The  inspection  was  much  shorter  than  in  previous  years,  in 
keeping  with  the  shift  away  from  drill.  Awards  were  presented  as  follows: 

Most  Promising  Recruit  —  Cadet  Corporal  G.  A.  McTaggart. 
Most  Conscientious  N.C.O.  —  Cadet  Sergeant  S.  M.  Wilansky. 
Best  Bandsman  —  Cadet  G.  Harlley. 
Best  Officer  —  Cadet  Lieutenant  C.  H.  Maclaren. 
C.O.*s  Award  —  Cadet  Major  D.  R.  Hallett. 

Best  Platoon  —  No.  1  Platoon.  Cadet  Lieutenant  D.  J.  Morrison. 
Master  Cadet   Award  —  Cadet   Captain   P.   J.   S.   Graham. 

Cadet  Sergeant  S.  M.  Wilansky. 

Special  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  Humphreys  for  his  many  efforts  in  this  his 
first  year  in  command  of  the  corps;  also  to  Wilansky.  Grills  and  Stoddard  II 
for  their  help  in  returning  uniforms.

PETAWAWA  TRIP 

As  Mr.  Joyce  remarked  in  his  speech  on  Closing  Day.  the  Petawawa  trip 
was  plagued  with  a  host  of  poorly  planned  minor  details  that  perhaps,  had  the 
weather  not  been  as  perfect  as  it  was,  would  have  demoralized  as  well  as  in- 
furiated us. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  trip  was  the  night  orienteering  course  in  which 
the  corps,  in  its  respective  sections,  dispersed  in  different  directions,  more  or 
less  under  control  of  their  orienteerers,  to  find,  record  and  report  back  with 
some  unknown  letter  at  a  given  point.  This  was  a  timed  exercise  made  all  the 
more  interesting  by  having  the  groups  elude  a  hidden  interceptor  on  the 
return  journey. 

The  following  day  we  embarked  upon  what  was  the  core  of  the  trip.  All 
sections  were  given  maps  and  instructions  on  radio  communication  and  told 
to  disappear  until  the  following  morning.  The  day  was  spent  walking  from 
point  to  point,  recording  letters  previously  placed  at  x.  y  coordinates  around 
the  country-side.  Each  group  had  about  12  points  to  find  and  each  camped  at 
the  last  point  they  had  to  go  to.  The  day  was  saved  through  constant  conver- 


23 


sation  and  attempts  (among  groups)  to  get  un-lost.  Some  groups,  the  smarter 
ones  I  think,  went  to  their  last  points  first  and  disposed  of  their  back  packs, 
which,  particularly  for  the  smaller  boys,  was  a  good  idea. 

Entertainment  that  night  was  supplied  by  constant  exchange  over  the  radios 
in  spite  of  repeated  pleas  from  base  camp  for  radio  silence.  Apparently  singing 
beer-hall  songs,  protesting  about  the  pine  bugs,  mosquitoes  and  other  assorted 
insects  in  off-colour  language,  is  frowned  upon  even  by  the  army. 

The  last  day  was  spent  lazing  around,  bathing  and  fishing  in  the  lake, 
handing-in  equipment,  packing,  and  taking  rides  in  army  half-trucks  and 
jeeps.  On  the  morning  of  our  departure,  we  were  up  at  five  and  had  breakfast 
at  the  army  mess  hall  at  Camp  Petawawa.  We  finally  left  and  arrived  at 
Ottawa  at  12:00  noon. 

So  much  for  the  highlights;  the  low  points  were  of  course  the  unmention- 
able food  (adequate  quantity,  but  who  wanted  it),  the  housing  (general 
opinion  on  the  lean-tos:  "If  it  had  rained  one  drop,  I  would  have  been  hitch- 
hiking back  to  Ottawa."),  and  last  but  by  no  means  least,  the  hoards  of 
hungry  insects. 

I  think  that  the  overall  impression  of  the  trip  was  favourable,  and  everyone 
could  say  they  enjoyed  at  least  one  aspect  of  the  expedition  even  if  it  was  only 
the  return  journey.  Perhaps  next  year  more  attention  to  the  minor  details  and 
the  experience  gained  from  this  trip  will  result  in  an  even  more  successful 
and  enjoyable  time  for  all.

THE  PHOTOGRAPHY  CLUB 

Owing,  perhaps,  to  the  shortage  of  free  time  and  the  disproportionate 
amount  of  the  same  needed  to  pursue  this  particular  hobby,  enthusiasm  was 
not  unbounded.  And,  consequently,  photographic  expression  was  restricted 
(except  of  course  amongst  the  die-hards)  to  Thursday  afternoons  and  even 
then  under  some  duress.  However,  all  was  not  lost  as  several  new  members 
were  introduced  to  the  "inner  sanctum"  from  where  it  is  hoped  that  they  will 
continue  next  year. 

Passport-sized  individual  photographs  of  all  the  students,  a  photography 
course  for  a  cadet  activity,  and  coverage  of  major  games  and  cultural  events 
during  the  school  year,  were  included  amongst  the  club's  other  spheres  of 
interest  this  year.

SCIENCE  CLUB 


Our  Science  Club  this  year  consisted  of  the  following  members:  Wong, 
Stoddard.  Hodgins.  Hamilton,  Nadeau,  Bonneau,  and  myself  as  secretary. 

Hodgins  tried  to  extract  nicotine  from  tobacco.  His  experiment  involved 
mixing  tobacco  with  water,  and  distilling  to  obtain  nicotine  and  water.  He 
acidified  the  solution  to  obtain  a  hydrochloride  of  nicotine.  Boiling  then 
removes  water  and  concentrates  the  nicotine.  When  alkali  is  added  to  neu- 
tralize the  acid,  nicotine  can  be  separated  by  using  salt  and  ether.  The  result 
was  verj  good  and  had  no  ill  effect  on  him. 

Nadeau's  experiment  involved  identification  of  the  metal  in  a  piece  of 
unknown  mineral  rock.  Chemical  tests  showed  the  presence  of  iron  in  the 
solution  obtained  with  the  rock  and  acid.  Zinc  dust  displaced  iron  metal  from 
this  solution  and  it  was  picked  up  by  a  magnet.  Magnesium  and  aluminium 
were  also  detected.  He  was  satisfied  with  the  results. 

Bonneau  tried  to  prove  that  sugar  contains  carbon.  He  did  it  by  adding 
concentrated  sulphuric  acid  to  sugar.  After  filtering  and  washing  again  and 
again,  a  big  black  mass  of  carbon  was  obtained  which  satisfied  his  curiosity. 

Hamilton  was  growing  crystals  with  several  different  salts. 

Stoddard  used  lead  nitrate  and  sodium  chloride  to  obtain  sodium  nitrate 
and  lead  chloride.  He  tested  his  pure  products  for  metals  and  acid  radicles 
and  then  confirmed  their  identity. 

Wong  and  I  did  experiments  on  the  principles  of  the  electric  current,  its 
motions  and  the  magnetic  field.  We  have  quite  a  lot  of  experience  in  this 
field.  We  are  now  making  an  apparatus  for  the  school.  The  apparatus  is  for 
an  experiment  concerned  with  the  motion  of  a  conductor  in  a  magnetic  field.

VALEDICTORY 

by  the  Captain  of  the  School 
DEL  HALLETT 

Mr.  Chairman,  members  of  the  Board,  Mr.  Joyce,  members  of  the  Staff, 
ladies  and  gentlemen  and  distinguished  members  of  Ashbury  College  student 
body. 

This  has  been  a  very  fast  year.  The  fact  that  it  did  go  by  so  quickly  is  an 
indication  that  it  was  a  good  year  —  certainly  a  very  tumultuous  one. 

Trying  to  pick  out  highlights  of  the  whole  year  is  sometimes  very  difficult, 
since  events,  while  remembered  by  some,  might  not  be  remembered  by  others. 
However,  I'll  start  with  something  everyone  must  remember  —  cadets.  Cadets 
took  on  a  new  look  this  year,  with  much  less  drill,  as  you  probably  guessed 
this  morning.  Instead  of  hours  of  marching,  a  more  practical  approach  to 
cadets  was  devised.  Last  Tuesday  we  all  went  to  Camp  Petawawa  and  came 
back  yesterday,  except  for  a  few  hoarse  throats  and  a  few  more  mosquito 
bites  no  worse  off  than  when  we  had  left. 

Our  formal  this  year  took  us  and  our  sister  school,  Elmwood.  to  the  Royal 
Ottawa  Golf  Club.  It  was  the  best  dance  in  a  number  of  years  and  I'm  sure 
that  those  who  did  go  will  remember  it  for  a  long  time. 

Chapel  this  year  also  changed,  with  a  much  more  modern  approach  to 
religion.  The  rock  opera  "Jesus  Christ  -  Superstar"  was  played  on  two  Sundays 
in  a  row  and  the  grand  finale  was  last  week's  service  in  the  Library. 

And  who  will  forget  the  7-1  win  over  Bishop's  in  football  or  the  1-0  loss  in 
the  soccer  semi-finals  to  Glebe?  The  hockey  team  will  surely  remember  the 
9-2  win  over  the  Old  Boys,  and  the  skiers,  I  imagine,  will  never  forget  Owl's 
Head. 

There  was  much  more  cohesion  within  the  School  this  year.  However,  the 
spirit  of  the  School  was  the  spirit  of  the  boarders  —  when  the  boarders  were 
up,  so  was  the  School,  and  when  the  boarders  were  down,  so  was  the  School. 

There  were  still  quite  a  few  four  o'clock  schoolboys  this  year  who  contri- 
buted nothing  after  classes  -  mostly  day  boys.  In  a  school  of  the  size  of 
Ashbury  it  is  difficult  to  have  two  boarder  houses,  and  distinctions  should  not 
be  between  two  houses  under  the  same  roof;  if  distinctions  must  be  made, 
they  should  be  between  day  boys  and  boarders,  with  one  day  boy  house  and 
one  boarder  house. 

House  competitions  were  very  close  this  year.  Woollcombe  won  the  swim 
meet  and  hockey,  while  Connaught  took  the  soccer  and  rugger  games. 

Hull,  again  this  year,  remained  strictly  out  of  bounds,  but  I  am  almost 
certain  that  there  were  some  weekend  expeditions  over  to  the  forbidden  city. 

Ashbury  College  is  built  on  a  strong  foundation  of  friendship  and  an  even 
stronger  foundation  of  tradition.  We  must  strive  in  the  future  for  the  better- 
ment of  the  school  by  keeping  up  with  the  times  by  means  of  modification, 
change  and  even  abolition. 

This  betterment  must  come  from  within  the  School  itself  and  can  only  be 
achieved  through  a  much  closer  relationship  between  staff  and  students. 
Striving  must  be  sincere,  not  a  chain  of  superfluous  and  meaningless  gestures. 

I  have  been  at  Ashbury  for  five  years  and  my  feelings  about  leaving  are 
very  mixed  indeed.  However,  I  am  able  to  look  back  on  my  schooldays  with 
fond  memories  and,  believe  me,  they  are  many. 

Ashbury  College  has  so  much  potential  —  let's  use  more  of  it.

FIRST  FOOTBALL 

The  1970  First  Football  season  was  very  good.  It  opened  with  the  Osgoode 
game.  Getting  off  to  a  slow  start,  Ashbury  was  down  7-0,  but  made  a  tremen- 
dous comeback  to  win  14-7. 

Stanstead  was  another  hard-fought  game:  the  team  did  well  until  two 
mistakes  gave  Stanstead  two  touchdowns.  The  final  12-0  score  understates 
the  best  effort  of  Ashbury  against  Stanstead  in  years.  Lindsay  Place  was  the 
next  victory  for  Ashbury  with  a  score  of  13-6. 

The  next  game  was  played  at  Bishop's.  It  was  a  see-saw  battle  of  two  very 
evenly  matched  teams.  A  pass  from  Kelly  to  Clubb  in  the  last  minutes  of  play 
gave  Ashbury  the  victory  with  a  score  of  7-1. 

Osgoode  again  played  Ashbury  in  what  proved  to  be  a  very  close  game. 
Ashbury  lost  this  game  14-13  and  several  key  players  were  injured. 

The  next  game  was  played  at  Lakefield  against  a  very  good  opposition  on 
a  very  sloppy  field.  Ashbury  played  exceptionally  tenacious  football,  but  pen- 
alties at  important  stages  of  the  game  cost  us  victory;  Lakefield  won  15-8. 

The  final  game  of  the  season  was  the  Old  Boys  game,  which  the  School  won 
31-6,  despite  the  valiant  efforts  of  the  opposition.

SECOND  FOOTBALL 

The  Second  Football  team  finally  won  a  game.  The  12-6  victory,  on  a 
muddy  field  in  Montreal,  was  the  first  second  team  win  in  more  years  than 
anyone  cares  to  remember.  The  Bishop's  and  Lakefield  games  were  very 
disappointing,  but  the  team  put  in  fine  efforts  in  both  games. 

For  the  Selwyn  House  game  we  were  boosted  by  a  number  of  First  team 
players  as  well  as  advice  and  encouragement  from  Mr.  Simpson. 

We  are  extremely  grateful  to  Mr.  Penton  and  Mr.  Niles  for  their  unceasing 
efforts  and  patience.  They  always  maintained  our  interest  in  what  can  easily 
become  a  routine  game,  and  this  means  a  great  deal  for  the  future  of  Ashbury 
football.

FIRST  SOCCER 


The  start  of  what  proved  to  be  a  tough  exciting  season  was  far  from 
promising.  Plunged  into  our  first  games  three  days  and  one  practice  after 
opening  day  against  two  of  the  best  teams  in  the  league,  disaster  was  not 
unexpected,  although  unhoped  for.  Play,  however,  improved  over  the  next  5 
league  games  with  one  tie  and  4  wins.  Skills  and  team  coordination  improved 
in  spite  of  injuries,  and  we  ended  the  regular  season  with  7  wins,  3  losses  and 
tied  for  fourth  place  in  the  play-offs  against  Glebe  Collegiate.  The  toss  up 
game  for  fourth  place  was  hard  and  fast  moving,  neither  team  scoring,  until 
we  made  a  fatal  mistake  in  the  last  five  minutes  of  play,  and,  in  spite  of  re- 
doubled efforts,  we  lost  1-0,  bringing  total  losses  to  4  out  of  13  league  games. 

On  a  more  personal  level,  highlights  of  the  year's  playing  came  at  the 
Stanstead,  Bishop's  and  the  Old  Boys  games.  We  unfortunately  lost  2-1  to 
Stanstead,  again  a  hard  game  in  adverse  weather  conditions,  and  as  a  result 
determined  not  to  let  Bishop's  beat  us  as  they  had  Stanstead.  Determination 
proved  victorious  over  a  tough  team  and  the  final  score  was  1-0.  The  Old  Boys 
put  up  a  stiff  fight  for  at  least  the  first  half,  but  were  unable  to  maintain  their 
drive  and  lost  2-1  to  the  superior  team. 

To  give  special  mention  to  any  particularly  strong  or  valuable  player 
would  be  to  list  the  team  members,  for  everyone  gave  of  his  best  at  every 
game.  Perhaps,  though,  we  should  mention  that  George  Harlley  received  the 
Anderson  trophy  for  the  Most  Valuable  Player,  and  Stephen  Went  the  Perry 
trophy  for  Most  Improved  Player. 

R.J.A. 

We  the  team  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  give  a  vote  of  thanks 
to  Ed  Jokinen  for  the  valuable  contribution  he  made  in  goal  and  to  Mr. 
Anderson  as  coach.  To  the  team  next  year  from  this  year's  graduates  "Good 
Luck";  you'll  need  it  for  the  future  Old  Boys  games.

SECOND  SOCCER 

This  was  a  good  year;  we  had  some  excellent  games  both  in  and  out  of 
town. 

Our  first  game  was  in  September  against  St.  George's;  we  won  this  game 
2-0.  Winning  the  first  game  was  an  excellent  way  in  which  to  begin  the  season, 
and  it  did  much  for  the  morale  of  the  team. 

We  also  had  a  very  good  game  against  Stanstead.  We  left  Ottawa  at  three 
o'clock  on  a  Friday  afternoon  and  arrived  at  Stanstead  at  about  six  o'clock, 
receiving  most  courteous  treatment  during  our  stay  there.  The  game  began 
at  ten  o'clock  on  Saturday  morning.  All  members  of  the  team  and  their 
opponents  played  enthusiastically  and  with  great  determination.  Throughout 
the  game  our  coach.  Mr.  McGuire,  was  hard  at  work,  shouting  encouraging 
words  ("Run,  man!  Run!  Keep  your  eyes  on  the  ball,  boy!")  We  won  that 
game  2-0. 

In  Ottawa  we  were  in  competition  with  High  Schools  for  a  cup.  The  team 
improved  remarkably  and  we  managed  to  reach  the  semi-finals.  We  lost  in 
overtime  against  Technical  High  School  in  a  closely  contested  game  which 
was  filled  with  excitement;  the  final  score  was  2-1  for  our  opponents. 

We  did  not  win  the  cup,  but  we  had  an  enjoyable  time  playing  soccer.

FIRST  HOCKEY 

The  1970-71  season  was  one  of  moderate  success  for  the  Ashbury  first 
hockex  team.  Of  the  seventeen  games  played,  Ashbury  managed  eight 
victories,  the  majority  of  the  wins  coming  in  the  second  half  of  the  season. 
The  team  played  some  good  solid  hockey,  but  a  lack  of  depth  hurt  their 
chances  against  teams  of  top  calibre. 

The  major  problem  at  the  first  of  the  season  was  finding  capable  replace- 
ments for  the  excellent  goal-tending  received  the  vear  previous.  However. 
Robert  Pimm  and  Jay  Ronalds  accepted  the  net-minding  challenge  and  con- 
tributed much  to  the  team's  more  consistent  play  in  the  second  half  of  the 
season. 

The  majority  of  the  games  were  played  against  stiff  local  competition, 
members  of  the  Ottawa  High  School  league.  In  these  games,  the  boys  showed 
they  could  more  than  hold  their  own.  Starting  the  season  with  two  quick 
victories,  the  team  then  fell  prey  to  some  erratic  defensive  play  and  sagged 
badly  until  the  Champlain  game  in  late  January.  A  well-earned  4-2  victory 
put  the  team  back  on  the  winning  track  and  it  began  to  play  the  solid  brand 
of  hockey  demonstrated  earlier  in  the  season. 

However,  it  was  the  traditional  rivalries  against  Bishops,  Lakefield  and  the 
Old  Boys  that  the  team  looked  forward  to  with  the  greatest  anticipation.  The 
game  results  were  not  as  satisfying. 

An  aggressive  Bishops  team  withstood  a  third  period  rally  and  emerged  a 
7-4  victor.  Ashbury  battled  the  strong  Lakefield  club  to  a  1-1  standoff  for 
two  periods  of  play,  but  were  unable  to  stand  relentless  third  period  pressure, 
and  lost  by  a  decisive  7-1  margin. 

A  measure  of  redemption  was  claimed  in  the  Old  Boys  game  however,  as 
the  team  romped  to  a  spirited  9-2  victory,  their  most  decisive  win  of  the  season 
in  the  finai  game  of  the  year. 

The  Fraser  trophy  awarded  to  the  most  valuable  player  went  to  Mike  Kelly, 
a  most  deserving  performer  who  played  standout  hockey  game  in  and  game 
out.  Derek  Pryde,  small  in  size,  but  long  on  skill  and  determination,  won  the 
Irvin  trophy  as  the  most  improved  player  on  the  team. 

Some  of  the  team's  more  valuable  performers  will  be  missing  next  year, 
but  a  good  nucleus  of  hockey  talent  remains  and,  w  ith  continued  improvement 
from  some  of  the  younger  team  members,  Ashbury  should  again  be  a  foe  to 
be  reckoned  with  in  the  new  year.

This  was  a  very  good  season  for  the  Second  Hockey  team.  The  weather 
caused  chaos  in  the  schedule,  but  all  worked  out  well.  Good  effort  was  put 
in  by  all,  especially  by  Peter  Wilson,  wrho  played  exceptionally  well  in  goal. 

The  leading  goal-scorers  were  Ian  Robertson.  Stuart  Jelenick,  Peter  Croal 
and  Ricky  Luciani. 

The  highlight  of  the  season  was  the  trip  to  Amherst,  Massachusetts,  where 
the  team  faced  a  very  good  opposition. 

Several  members  of  the  team  will  make  a  very  strong  contribution  to  the 
First  Hockey  team  next  year.

CURLING 

This  winters  curling  must  go  down  on  record  as  the  best  ever.  The  first 
team  played  15  games  in  the  Ottawa  High  School  League  where  we  won  9 
games  and  earned  a  playoff  berth.  This  is  a  first  for  Ashbury  in  three  years 
of  interscholastic  competition.  Unfortunately  the  berth  was  defaulted  due  to 
the  school  having  Easter  holidays  when  the  playoffs  started.  Our  positional 
standing  has  been  improved  from  fourth  place  last  year  to  third  this  year. 

For  the  second  time  Ashbury  entered  the  Tiny  Hermann  Bonspiel.  We  did 
very  well  going  to  the  semi-finals  before  losing  to  a  very  fine,  but  lucky,  team 
on  the  last  rock.  Needless  to  say  they  went  on  to  win  the  final. 

The  first  and  second  teams  had  their  annual  games  with  Bishop's.  The  1st 
team  defeated  the  Bishops  team  by  a  comfortable  margin.  Our  2nd  team  lost 
on  the  last  rock.  It  is  quite  remarkable  to  notice  the  number  of  games  which 
were  decided  by  the  last  rock.  Combined  score  for  the  Ashbury-Bishop's 
games  was  Ashbury  17  and  Bishop's  11. 

There  was  a  lot  of  fun  curling  the  day  of  the  House  Competition.  Several 
Masters  played  and  also  some  Grade  9  and  10  first  time  curlers.  You  could 
tell  the  first  time  curlers  from  the  Masters  -  they  were  smaller!  On  the  basis 
of  combined  scores  Connaught  beat  ^  oollcombe  20  to   16. 

Skips  for  House  League  Curling  were  Rimsa.  McLellan.  Plummer  and 
Stoddard.  When  points  were  added  up  Rimsa  was  declared   Champion. 

Three  of  the  House  League  skips  (  Rimsa.  McLellan.  Stoddard)  teamed  up 
with  the  first  team's  Kenny  to  form  Ashbury "s  second  team.  The  first  team 
consisted  of  Schofield.  who  did  a  very  fine  job  of  skipping  (  we'll  miss  you 
Charles).  Elkin.  who  could  be  counted  on  to  do  good  shots  when  he  had  to. 
Kennv.  who  has  shown  great  potential  as  a  fine  curler  and  who  skipped  the 
2nd  team,  and  last  but  not  least  Yaxley,  who  in  his  first  year  of  curling  did  a 
fine  job.  Rosenhek  was  the  team's  verv  valuable  spare.

SKIING 

Ashbury 's  ski-team  participated  in  two  major  competitions  this  year:  the 
Art  Lovett  Memorial  Ski  Meet  held  at  Camp  Fortune,  and  the  Tri-School 
Meet  at  Owl's  Head  in  the  Eastern  Townships. 

In  the  Art  Lovett,  Ashbury  finished  second  in  a  field  of  six  local  high- 
schools.  This  was  one  of  our  better  efforts  in  competitive  skiing  in  recent 
years,  and  was  largely  the  result  of  a  consistent  effort  on  the  part  of  all 
members  of  the  team,  rather  than  a  brilliant  display  by  one  or  two  individuals. 
However,  the  performances  of  two  new-comers  to  the  team  are  worthy  of  note: 
Dan  Lackie  placed  seventh  in  the  giant  slalom  and  third  in  the  slalom;  Tony 
Seay,  who  came  to  us  from  Sedbergh,  placed  sixth  in  the  cross-country. 

At  Owl's  Head,  our  luck  was  much  the  same  as  last  year.  The  gremlins 
were  at  work  again,  and  most  of  our  skiers  lost  time  or  were  disqualified  by 
falls.  As  a  result,  Ashbury  finished  fifth  in  a  field  of  five.  Unlike  last  year, 
however,  there  was  a  very  real  compensation  for  an  otherwise  disappointing 
result.  Jimmy  Cuttle  won  the  trophy,  (almost  as  big  as  he  is),  for  the  best 
individual  performance.  His  personal  results  for  the  meet  were  as  follows: 
first  in  the  slalom,  third  in  the  giant  slalom,  and  an  amazing  thirteenth  in 
the  cross-country.  This  was  a  truly  fine  performance,  and  well  deserving  of 
the  highest  praise.

SWIMMING 

Once  again  we  were  able  to  use  the  C.F.B.  Rockcliffe  pool  during  the  winter 
term. 

The  School  entered  a  senior  and  an  intermediate  team  in  the  Ottawa  High 
Schools  meet  and  met  with  mixed  success.  The  seniors  encountered  very  stiff 
competition  in  the  open  events,  but  the  intermediate  team,  comprising  Scott 
McEachran.  Tom  Dickson.  Scott  Harcourt  and  Peter  Copestake.  performed 
creditably,  winning  a  place  in  the  final  of  the  Medley  Relay.  In  addition 
McEachran.  Copestake  and  Harcourt  won  places  in  the  individual  finals. 

The  climax  to  the  season  was  the  Ashbury  meet,  and  what  a  climax  it 
proved  to  be!  Woollcombe  avenged  last  season's  defeat,  winning  a  thrilling 
competition  by  185-183  points  on  the  last  event. 

As  swimming  is  still  a  fledgling  sport  at  Ashbury.  it  has  been  decided  not 
to  make  team  awards  at  this  stage.

RUGGER 

Rugger  was  introduced  as  one  of  the  spring  term  sports  this  year.  Consider- 
able interest  seems  to  have  been  created,  despite  the  fact  that  other  established 
sports  made  inroads  on  the  numbers  available  to  play.  Nevertheless  we  were 
able  to  arrange  a  first-ever  Ashbury  inLer-House  game,  in  which  Connaught 
deservedly  beat  Vi  oollcombe  by  3-0. 

The  spring  term  is  not  really  suitable  for  a  number  of  reasons,  but  at 
present  there  is  no  alternative. 

It  is  hoped  that  next  year  we  might  arrange  a  seven-a-side  competition  with 
other  interested  schools  in  the  citv.

A  BUSINESS  ENCOUNTER 

Hendrick  de  Wet  was  a  lucky  man,  for  he  was  a  man  of  business  who  liked 
his  work.  He  was  an  ivory-hunter  by  profession,  and  a  farmer  by  aspiration, 
and  success  in  the  first  was  steadily  piling  up  the  gold  '■Krugers,,  which 
would  enable  him  to  start  the  other.  He  puffed  contentedly  at  his  long  pipe, 
enjoying  the  evening  sunlight  casting  its  glow  over  the  grassy  veldt.  The 
camp  was  a  scene  of  quiet  domesticity.  The  "boys"  moved  slowly  about  their 
tasks,  watering  the  horses,  trek  oxen  and  cattle,  cleaning  and  repairing  the 
great  wagon  and  cooking  their  evening  meal. 

Suddenly  the  subdued  clatter  of  the  routine  gave  way  to  an  excited  hubbub. 
A  small,  yellow-skinned  man,  his  hair  twisted  into  tight  peppercorn  knots 
came  trotting  into  camp.  He  was  a  bushman  with  the  peculiar  stance  and 
inscrutable  expression  of  the  Kalahari  hunters.  He  halted  in  front  of  Hendrick 
and  squatted,  bowing  briefly  so  that  his  forehead  touched  the  dust,  and  then 
sat.  idly  drawing  patterns  with  the  tip  of  his  bow  and  mulling  over  his 
thoughts  with  the  patience  of  one  who  was  unconcerned  with  time  as  white 
men  know  it.  He  spoke.  "Mein  Kroon,  I,  Rinkalss,  have  searched  many  days, 
seeing  what  these  blind  Waginga  (with  a  glance  of  contempt  at  the  Bantu 
servants,  hereditary  enemies  of  his  race)  who  call  themselves  hunters  have 
not  seen.'"'  He  paused  portentously.  "I  have  seen  Chinoko,  the  bewitched 
one!"  Hendrick  sat  bolt  upright,  his  hand  unconsciously  snapping  the  clay 
stem  of  his  pipe. 

"Allerweld!  His  tusks,  man,  are  they  what  the  legends  say?"  Hendrick's 
eyes  gleamed  as  he  remembered  tales  of  Chinoko,  last  seen  by  Andreius 
Pretorius,  the  great  Boer  hunter,  who  had  hunted  him  and  died  in  the  attempt. 
Of  how  his  tusks  were  so  heavy  that  he  rested  them  on  tree  branches,  and 
how  the  natives  swore  that  the  spirit  of  Chaka,  the  "Black  Elephant"  and 
despot  of  Zululand.  lived  on  in  him.  The  bushman  answered,  his  face  as 
ever  expressionless,  but  a  flicker  of  concern  in  his  slanted  eyes. 

"Baas,  because  I  swore  to  serve  you  when  you  saved  me  from  the  Great 
Thirst,  I  have  done  this  thing,  but  my  heart  is  heavy.  The  ivory  is  as  great 
as  the  tales  say,  but  — ,  Baas,  every  hunter  who  has  sought  this  beast  has  died, 
and  already  enough  tusks  lie  in  the  wagon  for  the  land  you  yearn  for.  Why 
bring  the  curse  upon  your  head?" 

Hendrick's  booming  laugh  rang  out  over  the  camp. 

"Afraid  of  the  spook,  eh.  Rinkalss?  Well,  I'd  sell  my  soul  to  get  those 
tusks.  They'll  be  a  record  for  certain,  and  I  don't  set  much  store  by  the 
mungu-mungu's  tales.  Pack  some  biltong  on  Blouboi,  and  be  ready  at  sun-up.  ' 

The  bushman  sighed  noiselessly  and  bowed  again,  murmuring.  "Ja.  ja, 
baas,"  under  his  breath,  and  then  rose  to  his  feet  and  strode  away  in  one 
curiously  fluid  motion. 

Four  hard  and  difficult  days  later,  the  Boer  and  the  bushman  crouched 
motionless  in  a  bush  and  watched  with  awe  as  the  great  elephant  stood,  sway- 
ing and  resting  his  great  ivory  tusks  on  a  low  branch  of  a  thorn  tree.  His  grey. 
dusty  hide  was  ripped  and  scarred  by  innumerable  conflicts  and  the  crippling 
wound  left  by  Pretorius'  quarter-pound  lead  shot  was  plainly  visible.  This 
animal  was  old,  perhaps  as  much  as  a  century,  and  every  angle  of  his  still- 
mighty  frame  exuded  the  same  sense  of  ancient  solidity  as  the  bare,  stark 
slope  of  a  mountain.

Slowly,  softly  Hendrick  worked  the  bolt  of  his  .450  elephant  gun  and  with 
infinite,  painstaking  care  lifted  it  to  his  shoulder,  drawing  a  bead  on  the 
crucial  spot  behind  the  shoulder.  His  finger  tightened  with  a  smooth,  steady 
motion.  Suddenly,  the  great  grey  head  turned  and  he  found  himself  looking 
into  the  small,  wrinkled  eyes.  Hendrick  hesitated  as  a  strange  sensation  stole 
over  him.  For  a  brief  moment  he  glimpsed  the  mind  behind  that  eye,  felt  an 
ancient  lassitude,  the  tired,  solitary  essence  of  a  being  weary  unto  death. 
Hendrick  felt  an  unfamiliar  emotion:  pity.  The  gun  came  down  from  his 
shoulder  reluctantly,  but  cursing  his  weakness  he  raised  it  again.  Hesitating, 
irresolute,  the  muzzle  wavered  and  then  with  a  quick,  decisive  movement  the 
hunter  pointed  it  skyward  and  fired. 

The  shot  broke  the  buzzing,  humid  stillness  of  the  lowveldt  afternoon.  The 
sail-like  ears  and  snaky  trunk  whipped  up.  instantly  alert  and  then  with  a 
rending  crash  the  huge  beast  was  gone.  Hendrick  looked  down  at  his  hands 
curled  around  the  rifle:  hard,  capable  hands,  calloused  from  rope  and  rein 
and  gunstock.  and  groped  for  the  words  to  express  novel  concepts.  For  a 
moment  he  stood  thus,  then  with  a  shrug  of  his  shoulders  he  turned  to  his 
horse,  saying,  "Come.  I  see  the  finger  of  the  Lord  in  this,  and  it  is  time  I 
returned  to  my  own  people  and  my  own  land." 

The  bushman  smiled  enigmatically  and  silently  thanked  the  ancient, 
mysterious  gods  of  the  Kalahari  for  their  munificence  as  he  fell  into  his 
tireless  lope  behind  his  master's  horse.  The  beat  of  the  horse's  hooves  echoed 
for  a  moment  and  then  all  was  as  before,  except  for  a  single  brass  cartridge 
shining  in  the  sun.

WRITING  POETRY 


Here  it  is  a  Thursday  night 

And  still  I  have  a  poem  to  write. 

"A  long  or  short  one"  was  the  warning, 

"To  be  handed  in  on  Friday  morning." 

Since  a  poet  I  am  not 
I  will  write  I  know  not  what. 
I  cannot  think  of  what  to  say, 
And  time  so  quickly  flies  away. 

I'd  like  to  write  of  lands  and  seas 
Or  possibly  of  flow'rs  and  trees. 
The  land  is  dry,  the  sea  is  deep,  -  - 
But  all  too  soon  I'll  fall  asleep! 

Perhaps  I'll  be  like  Willy  Shakespeare 
And  compose  a  sonnet  to  my  Dark  Dear. 
Or  perhaps  as  Keats  I'd  make  you  yearn 
To  know  just  how  much  a  Greek  does  'urn". 

"A  long  or  short  one"  was  the  warning, 
"To  be  handed  in  on  Friday  morning."

FERRETS  AND  FERRETING 


According  to  a  beloved  American  tradition,  every  boy  should  have  a  dog. 
But  judging  from  the  literature  of  England  of  the  last  century,  a  dog  was 
considered  an  unnecessary  luxury  for  youngsters,  although  every  boy  did  have 
his  own  ferret.  He  used  the  ferret  to  bolt  rabbits  into  nets,  and  made  his 
pocket  money  selling  the  rabbits  to  butchers,  as  many  an  Englishman  fondly 
remembers.  Gamekeepers,  poachers,  and  ratcatchers  also  had  ferrets.  Although 
many  descriptions  <>l  rural  life  in  England  contain  references  to  ferrets,  there 
is  little  or  no  account  of  their  use  in  America.  Yet  ferrets  were  employed  in 
America  on  a  scale  much  greater  than  that  of  Europe. 

From  the  beginning  of  time,  hunters  have  longed  for  some  device  to  bolt 
quarrv  from  holes  and  burrows.  The  ferret  was  the  answer.  In  Egyptian  times 
nobles  used  trained  weasel-like  animals  called  ichneumons  to  retrieve  injured 
ducks  from  dense  cover.  Later  a  small  Asian  weasel  was  domesticated,  and 
probably  crossed  with  the  European  polecat  to  give  it  more  size  and  stamina. 
The  domestic  ferret  (Mustek  furo)  is  the  result,  and  averages  about  a  foot 
and  a  half  in  length,  including  a  five-inch  tail,  and  it  stands  some  three  inches 
high.  The  females,  called  "Jills'",  are  much  smaller  but  are  better  ratters,  as 
the  big  males,  known  as  "habs".  are  often  too  large  to  go  down  the  holes. 

Ferrets  have  become  so  completely  domesticated  that  they  can  not  fend  for 
themselves  in  the  wild,  and  a  lost  ferret  will  starve  to  death.  Domestic  ferrets 
are  quite  slow,  and  cannot  catch  quarry  unless  they  happen  to  corner  their 
prey  in  a  dead-end  hole.  But  in  hunting,  their  work  is  to  drive  out  the  quarry, 
not  to  kill  it. 

Ferrets  were  used  not  only  against  rats  and  rabbits,  but  on  just  about  every 
animal  that  has  to  be  bolted  from  burrows.  They  had  other  uses,  too.  When 
telephone  companies  started  to  put  their  lines  underground,  the  only  way  they 
could  run  the  wires  through  the  long  pipes  was  to  start  a  rat  through  the  pipe 
with  a  ferret  after  him.  the  ferret  wearing  a  harness  to  which  was  attached  a 
light  string  that  later  was  used  to  pull  the  wire  through  the  duct.  Ratcatchers 
used  ferrets  a  great  deal  in  their  profession,  which  in  the  days  of  the  plague 
was  an  important  job. 

Professional  ratcatcbers  usually  break  in  young  ferrets  by  keeping  them 
in  a  loft  full  of  old  drainpipes  so  that  the  animals  will  get  used  to  running 
through  long  passageways  in  complete  darkness,  although  this  really  isn  t 
necessary  as  ferrets  will  go  down  a  hole  naturally.  The  ferrets  must  also  get 
used  to  the  ratting  terriers,  who  are  their  partners  in  the  hunt.  When  the  little 
ferrets  are  six  months  old.  the  trainer  gives  them  mice  to  kill.  Later  he  puts 
in  rats  whose  long  incisor  teeth  have  been  removed:  otherwise  the  young 
animals  might  get  so  badly  bitten  that  they'd  come  to  fear  rats. 

The  mere  presence  of  a  ferret  in  a  hole  drives  rats  mad  with  terror.  A 
ferret  follows  rats  by  their  scent,  like  a  miniature  bloodhound,  and  no  matter 
where  the  rats  hide  he  will  eventually  "ferret  them  out".  A  ferret  that  is  a 
"killer'"  (one  that  deliberately  tries  to  corner  rats  to  kill  and  eat  them),  is 
not  considered  a  good  ratter.  He  wastes  too  much  time  and  it's  too  hard  to  get 
him  out  of  a  hole.  Killing  is  the  dogs  job. 

Game  commissions  often  use  ferrets  to  catch  rabbits  alive  for  restocking. 
A  bag  or  net  is  held  at  the  mouth  of  the  hole:  nets  are  better  as  a  bag  darkens 
the  entrance  and  sometimes  makes  the  rabbit  turn  back.  Purse-type  nets 
operating  on  the  drawstring  principle  were  once  made  for  this  purpose,  and 
could  be  bought  in  any  general  store. 


In  these  days  ferrets  are  illegal  in  most  of  the  United  States  and  Canada, 
supposedly  for  sporting  reasons.  Personally,  I  feel  that  ferreting  is  a  fasci- 
nating sport.  It  is  most  unfortunate  that  misinformed  people  are  against  it. 
In  Europe,  ferreting  still  seems  to  be  practised,  but  the  average  person  has 
read  little  or  heard  little  of  this  exciting  art.

THE  ARTIST 

I  rush  myself,  to  pass  swift  through, 

And  render  previous  efforts  vain, 

Aft  mystic  cons'mate  thoughts  do  grope. 

My  lines  run  false,  what  need'st  be  true, 
Boredom  and  weariness  in  the  main, 
Take  their  toll  of  fickle  hope. 

The  ego,  like  a  tempest  grew, 

Which  pierced,  releas'd  such  torrents  bane, 

That  frail,  and  timid  talent  slopes, 

To  nil.

TOGETHERNESS 


Paper  clips  have  many  uses. 
And  even  come  in  for  abuses. 

When  the  boy  was  young,  and  the  day  did  rain 
He  slipped  them  together  to  make  a  chain: 
When  the  chain  was  long  enough,  he  felt, 
He'd  tie  it  around  him  like  a  belt. 
"Paper  clip  collars!"  —  his  dogs  would  yelp. 
And  bed  finish  up  having  to  cry  for  help. 

When  the  same  boy  was  somewhat  older. 
And.  I  might  add.  a  good  deal  bolder, 
Clips,  in  his  slingshot  were  ammunition 
To  send  poor  birds  straight  to  perdition. 
I  must  confess  that  his  aim  was  erratic 
And  the  rows  of  jays  merely  gave  him  static. 

When  even  older  and  out  at  work, 

Many  and  often  were  the  times  he'd  shirk. 

"Working  for  a  living:   what  a  pain!" 

"Slip  clips  together  to  make  a  chain." 

"Rubber  band?  Oh.  good  morning.  Miss  Sweeting." 

"Good  shot!  that  caught  the  old  gal  retreating." 

There  is  a  moral  to  this  caper. 
"Use  paper  clips  for  holding  paper."

THROUGH  THE  EYES  OF  AN  OLD  TIMER 

It  was  July  30th.  1971.  when  Ahe  awoke.  He  felt  as  though  he  had 
been  asleep  for  a  century.  He  arose  refreshed  but  hungry.  As  he  looked  about 
him,  he  thought  he  noticed  a  difference  in  the  woods  from  when  he  had 
fallen  asleep.  He  couldn't  quite  place  it  but.  oh  well,  no  matter. 

He  removed  his  hunting  knife  from  its  sheath  and  fondled  it  lovingly 
between  his  fingers.  He'd  won  it  at  the  county  fair  the  year  before  and  had 
carried  it  with  him  ever  since. 

Two  hours  later  he  was  sitting  beside  a  fire  chewing  away  on  a  fine  young 
rabbit.  After  he  had  finished.  Abe  decided  he'd  better  be  going  home.  He'd 
told  his  wife  he  would  be  gone  just  a  night  and  so  not  to  worry. 

He  struck  out  in  a  north-easterly  direction,  being  sure  to  keep  the  sun  to 
his  right  and  slightly  behind  him.  He  thought  it  strange  that  he  had  not 
heard  any  birds.  He  soon  noticed  that  the  sky  was  becoming  overcast  and  so 
began  to  hurry.  It  did  not  rain. 

Suddenly  he  came  to  an  opening  in  the  trees.  A  thin  strip  extended  as  far 
as  he  could  see  in  either  direction.  Within  this  clearing  were  two  separate 
paths.  To  Abe  they  were  smooth  and  grey,  reminding  him  of  two  long  hair 
ribbons. 

Just  then  Abe  heard  a  noise.  It  grew  louder  and  louder.  With  a  roar  it  rushed 
past  him  and  disappeared  in  the  distance.  It  was  hard  to  describe  the  thing. 
It  seemed  to  be  made  of  green  iron.  It  had  four  eyes  and  flashing  teeth.  It 
resembled  a  carriage,  but  then  it  didn't.  Whatever  it  was  its  harsh  smell 
stung  his  nostrils.  Abe  fainted. 

When  he  awoke  he  had  no  idea  where  he  was.  He  seemed  to  be  lying  on  a 
couch.  There  were  two  of  them  in  the  small  room,  both  facing  the  same  way. 
Sitting  on  the  other  one  were  two  men.  but  thev  were  dressed  in  a  very  strange 
manner. 

Abe  lay  there,  trembling.  He  seemed  to  be  dreaming.  But  no.  he  wasn't. 

The  room  had  windows  in  it.  so  Abe  raised  himself  up  and  stared  out.  He 
felt  himself  feeling  faint  again.  The  ground  and  trees  were  moving  along  in 
a  blur.  Soon  he  began  to  see  buildings  of  some  sort.  But  they  were  different. 
They  became  larger  and  larger  until  thev  seemed  to  scrape  the  sky.  The  room 
stopped  beside  one  of  these  structures  that  appeared  to  be  made  of  rock.  A 
door  in  the  side  of  the  room  opened  and  the  two  men  helped  Abe  get  out.  He 
stood  there,  legs  trembling,  feeling  extremely  weak. 

Then  it  hit  him.  Everywhere  there  was  confusion  and  noise.  The  atmosphere 
around  him  stung  his  eyes.  Abe  began  to  cough.  He  looked  around  and  saw 
many  more  things  with  eyes  and  flashing  teeth.  He  heard  sounds  that  resem- 
bled the  honking  of  geese  in  the  spring  and  fall,  but  they  were  much  harsher. 
There  were  also  loud  sounds  that  he  could  not  recognize  at  all.  He  could  not 
see  any  trees  or  grass  and  he  was  standing,  not  on  earth,  but  on  a  hard  foreign 
substance. 

The  men  ushered  him  towards  the  structure.  One  of  them  entered  the 
doors.  They  started  to  go  around  and  around.  Abe  was  expecting  the  man  to 
come  out  again,  but  he  didn't.  The  other  man  escorted  him  to  the  doors.  Abe 
walked  in  and  found  himself  having  to  walk  quickly  so  as  not  to  clip  his 
heels.  Around  and  around  he  went  until  one  of  the  men  pulled  him  out  of  the 
doors  into  a  very  large  room.  He  had  never  seen  anything  like  it  before  in 
his  life.  Light  was  streaming  from  squares  in  the  ceiling  and  people  in  white 
were  bustling  around  like  ants  at  a  picnic. 


57 


A  man  in  white  walked  up  to  Abe  and  took  him  down  many  of  the  halls. 
They  came  to  a  pair  of  doors  and  stopped.  But  there  were  no  latches  or 
handles.  The  door  opened,  Abe  stood  there  aghast,  They  entered  through  the 
doors  into  a  small  room.  The  man  pressed  a  button  and  Abe's  stomach  liter- 
ally dropped  to  the  floor.  Abe  fell  against  the  wall  and  hung  on  to  a  supporting 
rail.  Then  he  felt  as  though  he  had  just  lost  fifty  pounds.  The  door  opened 
and  he  found  himself  in  a  hallway  that  he  did  not  recognize. 

This  was  too  much.  He  ran  to  the  end  of  the  hall  and  came  to  a  glass  door. 
He  shoved  it  open.  Abe  was  careful  not  to  look  down  for  he  found  himself 
high  in  the  sky.  Leading  down  to  the  ground  were  stairs. 

Meanwhile,  the  man  in  white  was  chasing  Abe  and  he  had  no  choice  but 
to  leap  down  the  stairs  as  fast  as  he  could.  He  found  the  steps  ended  about 
ten  feet  above  the  ground  and  he  was  forced  to  jump. 

He  started  running  but  had  only  gone  a  few  feet  when  he  stopped.  He 
looked  up.  With  a  roar,  a  huge  silver  bird  flew  a  few  hundred  feet  over  Abe's 
head.  Smoke  was  pouring  from  its  wings.  Abe  covered  his  ears  and  fell.  .  .

A  CASE  OF  FRUSTRATION 

You  have  been  trying  to  convince  your  boss  that  you  must  catch  a  train 
that  leaves  in  twenty  minutes.  Finally  he  notices  how  nervous  and  fidgety 
you  are  so  he  lets  you  go.  You  grab  your  briefcase  and  coat  and  dart  down- 
stairs to  shout  for  a  taxi.  The  driver  is  a  fat  old  man  who  is  slightly  deaf.  As 
you  give  him  your  destination,  he  happy-go-luckily  begins  to  sing  to  himself. 
After  a  long  and  winding  journey,  you  make  it  to  the  train  station;  only  two 
minutes  left.  Fortunately  for  you,  your  ticket  is  already  bought,  but  unfortu- 
nately for  you.  you  are  out  of  cigarettes.  You  scuttle  over  to  the  cigarette 
machine,  drop  your  briefcase  and  coat,  and  feverishly  scrabble  for  the  proper 
change  to  dab  into  the  machine  from  your  bulging  coin-pocket.  The  train 
has  already  arrived,  and  the  conductors  have  just  yelled,  "All  aboard."  Your 
brand  of  cigarettes  isn't  there  so  you  hurriedly  think  of  another  type  you're 
fond  of.  You  stab  the  button  just  as  the  train  begins  to  move  and  you  wait  the 
extra  few  seconds  for  the  matches.  By  now  the  train's  speed  has  increased 
quite  impressively.  Now  you  run,  run  faster  than  you  have  ever  run  before. 
Your  aim  is  for  the  bars  on  the  caboose  that  are  coming  closer  and  closer  as 
you  pour  on  the  speed.  Finally  with  one  last  dive,  you  reach  and  grab  the  cold 
metal  rungs.  As  you  slowly  pull  yourself  to  the  platform  you  look  back  at  that 
solitary  cigarette  machine  that  you  hate  so  much.  And  there  beside  it  are  your 
briefcase  and  coat.

TWO  CARS  THAT  CRASHED 

Body  hurts, 
Blood  is  running, 
Bones  are  crushed: 
Can't  help  crying. 

Cars  are  smashed, 
People  dead, 
Some  still  living 
With  broken  heads. 

Going  fast, 
Can't  last  long, 
Doctors  trying, 
I'm  too  far  gone. 

The  end  is  here, 
All  things  mashed, 
Such  the  result: 
Two  cars  that  crashed.

SCHISM 

He's  with  me  at  last  as  1  climb  inside  my  bottle.  I  never  thought  he  would 
make  it  tonight.  Lately  it  has  taken  a  lot  before  he  would  appear.  Tonight 
one  bottle;  tomorrow  maybe  two.  I  never  feel  secure  until  he  comes.  He  does 
something  for  me.  But  we  have  split.  We  are  one  and  the  same,  yet  we  are 
different  from  each  other.  As  I  am  not  imaginative  I  could  never  arrive  at  a 
name  for  him.  He  is  simply  X,  the  unknown. 

He  talks  to  me  as  the  teacher  would  talk  to  the  pupil.  Our  relationship  is 
like  that  of  the  intellectual  to  the  baby.  He  is  so  superior  to  me  I  cannot  feel 
inferior.  I  can  only  regard  him  with  awe  and  obey  him,  for  everything  he 
says  stems  from  the  most  perfect  logic.  Perhaps  he  is  not  so  smart.  Perhaps 
I  am  only  a  drunken  fool.  Yet  he  is  so  convincing.  He  cannot  see.  or  feel,  or 
smell.  I  am  his  eyes,  his  hands,  his  nose.  He  can  only  listen  to  my  problems 
and  then  talk.  Oh,  how  he  can  talk!  Sometimes  I  am  overcome  to  the  point 
of  blackout.  It  would  not  do  to  black  out  though. for  he  might  leave  me.  Some 
other  body  might  appeal  to  him:  some  other  mind.  I'd  be  lost  without  him. 

Some  people  without  too  many  brains  would  consider  me  an  alcholic.  They 
don't  realize  I  have  to  remain  sane.  If  they  stopped  me  from  drinking  it 
would  be  like  prison  where  you're  not  allowed  to  visit  your  best  friend  when 
you  want.  Some  people  have  religion:  they  have  God  or  Jesus  Christ.  I  have 
X,  the  unknown. 

But  tonight  he  appears  different.  Wait,  he's  talking  to  me  now.  ^  hat's  he 
saying?  I  can't  make  it  out.  One  more  drink.  He's  coming  in  clearer  now. 
I've  got  it  now.  I  am  supposed  to  kill.  I  can't  kill  just  anybody.  It  has  to  be 
someone  in  particular.  I  hoped  it  would  never  come  to  this.  He's  not  satisfied 
with  just  my  mind.  now.  He  wants  my  body  too.  I  guess  he  wants  complete 
control.  One  can't  really  blame  him.  He  is  smarter  than  me.  talks  better,  is 
more  convincing.  He  would  never  make  a  fool  of  himself.  In  fact,  he  deserves 
me  better  than  I  do.  There's  only  one  answer.  I'll  have  to  kill  myself  to  make 
room  for  a  superior.  That's  life!  The  weak  ones  die.  the  strong  ones  live.  I'm 
sorry  that  I  am  so  weak.  Maybe  next  time  it  will  be  different.  Good-bye.  .  .  .

UTOPIA 

Multitudes  are  passing  before  me 

But  they  don't  see  me 

For  I'm  dead. 

Faces  drawn  and  thin 

Encircle  where  eyes  must  have  been, 

But  now  in  their  place 

Are  dark  swollen  things. 

No  words  are  spoken 

For  none  are  needed. 

Burned  out  souls 

Need  utter  no  sound, 

For  sound  is  an  echo  of  thought, 

And  here  there  is  no  thought, 

As  there  once  was  said  to  be. 

Life  is  given  and  life  is  taken, 

Or  so  it  was  once  writ 

By  one  of  power  and  goodness 

Who.  it  was  believed 

(by  poor  dejected  souls), 

Guided  children  and  older  children 

To  love  each  other  and  live  in  peace. 

But  it  was  found  there  could  be  no  "peace" 
Amongst  despotic  warring  nations, 
Thus  there  was  left  but  one  form  of  peace, 
The  Ultimate  Utopia. 
The  Ultimate  peace. 
The  sweet  bliss  of  death: 
Oblivion. 

P.  Leffler 


THE  STRIKE 

The  silver  bird 
Stoops  to  kill 

No  sound  is  heard 
All  is  still 

Beautiful  in  line  and  form 
Beauty  cold  and  stern 


Fire   and   steel,   war   tides   storm 
Wings  flash  and  turn 

Needle  beak,  pinions  sweep 
Cannon    flashing   bright 

0  silver  bird,  our  foemen  reap 
Angel  of  the  Lords  of  Light!

S.  M.  Stirling 


RUN  FOR  YOUR  LIFE 

Walter  was  running  for  his  life.  A  short  distance  behind  him  were  at  least 
a  score  of  savages,  armed  with  razor-edged  spears  and  clubs.  Ahead  of  him  lay 
the  jungle,  filled  with  unknown  dangers.  Beyond  that  lay  the  safety  of  the 
base  camp  —  four  miles  ahead. 

The  savages,  naked  to  the  waist,  ran  bare-foot  across  the  jungle  floor.  They 
slipped  easily  in  between  the  low  bushes  and  undergrowth.  Necklaces  of 
leopard  claws  stood  out  against  their  black  skins.  Walter  cursed  his  heavy, 
awkward  hunting  boots  and  thick  clothing,  but  he  knew  better  than  to  stop. 
He  ran  heavily,  but  not  slowly. 

The  aborigines  were  not  running  full  out:  they  realized  that  they  had 
plenty  of  time  in  which  to  finish  this  cat-and-mouse  game.  They  smiled  to 
one  another  as  they  ran.  and  their  smiles  revealed  spiked  teeth  —  teeth  filed 
to  points.  They  knew  their  quarry  was  sure  to  tire,  and  besides,  they  weren't 
that  hungry  —  yet. 

Walter  was  well  aware  of  his  predicament.  If  the  cannibals  caught  him. 
they  would  eat  him  —  it  was  that  simple.  He  had  the  sense  and  keen  insight 
to  realize  that  he  would  have  to  pace  himself  to  be  able  to  continue;  running 
blindly  and  recklessly  would  merely  burn  up  his  energy,  and  exhaust  him 
quickly.  So  Walter  ran  steadily  at  a  brisk  pace,  vaguely  aware  that  the 
aborigines  strung  out  behind  him  were  likewise  settling  into  an  even  gait. 

Gradually  the  panic  in  Walter's  mind  subsided,  and  was  replaced  with  cold 
determination.  Walter  realized  he  had  a  chance  if  he  kept  his  nerve  and  used 
his  wits:  his  stamina  was  his  one  great  hope.  So  W'alter  ran  on.  timing  his 
breaths  with  his  strides,  and  using  his  lungs  to  their  capacity.  His  pulse 
gradually  slowed  and  steadied  to  a  regular  beat. 

Logs  and  clumps  of  vegetation  appeared  in  his  path  from  time  to  time,  hut 
Walter  was  cautious;  a  stumble  or  trip  would  mean  his  death.  Occasionally 
a  jungle  bird  would  flush,  and  startle  W'alter  badly.  But  once  he  looked  up 
and  saw  a  deadly  snake  —  the  venomous  Boomslang  —  strung  across  a  branch 
over  the  path.  Walter  reacted  quickly  and  managed  to  duck  just  in  time.  A 
few  moments  later  he  heard  one  of  his  pursuers  shriek  as  the  snake  struck 
home  with  its  poisonous  fangs. 

However,  the  rest  of  the  natives  paused  but  briefly,  then  continued  the 
chase  with  renewed  fervour.  They  were  intent  on  their  prey. 

Walter  kept  going,  and  the  natives  persevered.  But  the  aborigines  were 
finally  beginning  to  show  signs  of  fatigue  —  this  man  was  not  such  an  easj 
catch  after  all.  They  had  underestimated  the  stamina  of  this  apparent  weak- 
ling. However,  they  were  far  from  giving  up.  They  had  gone  two  miles,  but 
they  had  two  more  in  which  to  overtake  their  prey. 

The  race  with  death  was  taking  its  toll  on  Walter  —  his  muscles  screamed 
for  rest;  his  lungs  were  near  to  bursting.  Once  he  almost  gave  in  to  the  great 
temptation  to  stop  briefly.  But  a  close  miss  by  a  long  range  spear  changed  his 
mind.  Animal  instincts  were  strong  in  him.  Sheer  guts  and  determination 
kept  him  moving.  He  gritted  his  teeth  and  ran  on.  and  on.  and  on. 

Meanwhile,  of  the  some  twenty  to  thirty  cannibals  that  had  started  after 
him.  only  a  dozen  or  so  were  uncomfortably  close  to  him:  the  rest  had  fallen 
far  back  or  given  up.  But  the  savages  were  persistent  —  their  hunting  lives 
had  taught  them  to  be  both  patient  and  relentless. 


61 


In  a  sudden  flash  of  movement,  Walter  tripped,  and  collapsed  on  the 
ground.  He  almost  didn't  get  up.  The  natives  were  closing  in  fast.  Then  he 
saw  the  smoke  of  the  base  camp,  and  he  was  inspired.  He  jumped  to  his  feet, 
and  forced  his  aching  body  to  respond.  He  poured  on  all  his  strength,  and  ran, 
and  ran,  and  ran. 

Then,  before  him  like  a  mirage,  he  saw  the  camp.  People  were  calling  to 
him.  Images  turned  through  his  mind  in  a  dream-like  haze.  He  could  no 
longer  feel  his  body  —  only  excruciating  pain.  He  no  longer  cared  what 
happened.  Yet  through  some  miracle,  he  managed  to  complete  the  last  few 
strides  into  the  safety  of  the  camp.  Then  he  blacked  out. 

When  Walter  revived,  he  became  aware  of  friends  around  him;  friends 
supporting  him  and  congratulating  him.  "You  did  it  again,  Walt,"  cried  one 
of  his  supporters.  "You  beat  the  best  runners  in  the  country,"  yelled  another. 
"Yes,  you  won  the  cross-country  for  the  fourth  time  in  a  row,"  added  a 
beaming  admirer.  The  coach  came  up  and  said  approvingly:  "You  were  great. 
But  tell  me  —  how  do  you  do  it?  What's  your  secret?  you  ran  as  if  your  life 
depended  on  it." 

Walter  just  panted,  and  grinned  slightly  to  himself.

THE  INDIVIDUAL 

I  sit  and  watch  the  people. 

The  people  on  the  road, 

And  I  watch  them  through  my  window 

That  sits  just  off  the  road. 

But  I  feel  the  eyes  of  people. 
The  eyes  that  follow  me. 
And  they  stare  and  gaze  in  anger, 
And  they  will  not  let  me  be. 

For  I  sit  away  from  all  of  them 
And  I  do  not  walk  their  road. 
For  they  all  wander  like  blind  men 
And  walk  and  just  grow  old. 

But  I'll  not  walk  that  path  today 
Following  their  feet;  so  let  me  be, 
Not  follow  those  who  always  frown 
Because  I  shall  be  me.

MAN  CAN  FLY    HE  HAS  EVOLVED 


Gallons  of  fuel  foam  into  tanks 

Leaving  fumes  heavy  on  the  morning  air. 

Wings  drooping  with  weight, 

The  hoses  are  removed 

To  lie,  snake-like,  on  the  grass. 

Men  appear, 

Checking  engines,  flaps,  wheels. 

They  leave. 

The  plane  is  left  like  a  metal  grasshopper 

On  the  runway. 

The  pilots  arrive,  and  enter. 

They  scan  the  panels: 

Instruments  stare  hack. 

Hands  plav  over  switches; 

The  great  motors  hegin  to  turn. 

Pistons,  hearings,  chains  and  wheels 

Move  with  purpose. 

The  machine  moves,  gathering  speed. 

The  earth  tremhles. 

Noise  grows. 

With  a  flash  of  wings 

The  plane  takes  off: 

To  fly. 

The  Bird 
Spreads  its  wings 
And  flies. 

Both  Bird  and  Man 
Have  evolved. 

One  is  superior  .... 

Which?

THE  WIND 


Silent  as  a  cat 

Unstopping,   powerful. 

It  grows,  feeding  on  air. 

Into  a  rushing  thing; 

Alive. 

The  whole  atmosphere 

Throwing  itself,  roaring. 

On  anvthing  in   its  path; 

It  is  spent. 

The  wind  is  a  kitten  once  more. 

Playful,  chasing  string.

ARMAGEDDON 

The  sands  of  time  have  dissolved  the  visits  of  the 

seasons,  never  to  be  seen  again. 
Trees,  sadly  cannot  manage  a  smile, 
The  water  runs  impeded  by  a  congregation 
of  floating  fish. 

Grim  crackling  in  the  night,  as  only  the  moon 

lies  down  for  rest. 
A  boy  cries  in  the  wilderness  for  life  once  more. 
The  world  rests  with  the  smell  of  destruction, 
Smoke  fills  the  streets  signifying  the  end. 


M.  Kelly 


I  FEEL  FINE 

I  feel  fine  anytime  she's  around  me, 
She's  around  me  now  almost  all  the  time; 
If  I'm  well  you  can  tell  she's  been  with  me, 
She's  been  with  me  now  quite  a  long,  long  time; 
And  I  feel  fine. 

There's  something  in  the  way  she  moves, 

Or  looks  my  way  or  calls  my  name, 

That  seems  to  leave  this  troubled  world  behind. 

And  if  I'm  feeling  down  and  blue, 

Or  troubled  by  some  foolish  game, 

She  always  seems  to  make  me  change  my  mind. 

Every  now  and  then  the  things  I  lean  on  lose  their  meaning, 

And  I  find  myself  careening 

Into  places  where  I  should  not  let  me  go. 

But  she  has  the  power  to  go  where  no-one  else  can  find  me, 

And  to  silently  remind  me 

Of  the  happiness  and  good  times  that  I  know. 

It  isn't  what  she's  got  to  say. 

Or  how  she  thinks  or  where  she's  been, 

To  me  her  words  are  nice  the  way  they  sound. 

I  like  to  hear  them  best,  her  way. 

It  doesn't  matter  what  they  mean, 

She  says  them  mostly  just  to  calm  me  down. 

I  feel  fine  anytime  she's  around  me. 
She's  around  me  now  almost  all  the  time. 
If  I'm  well  you  can  tell  she's  been  with  me. 
She's  been  with  me  now  quite  a  long,  long  time. 
And  I  feel  fine.  Yes!  I  feel  fine.

BULLFIGHT 

The  Parade:  magnificent,  shining  in  the  sun 

The  Confrontation;  the  clash  of  wills 

The  Charge;  unswerving,  irresistible 

The  Baiting;  subtle  and  exciting 

The  Death;  a  climax,  a  swelling  roar. 

To  the  Victor  the  spoils.

MONDAY  MORNINGS  (with  humble  apologies  to  Longfellow) 

As  a  signal  i<>  the  seniors 

Through  the  tranquil  air  of  morning, 

Rang  the  bell,  and  rose  the  pealing 

Of  the  mighty  hell  of  Monday. 

Monday  morning,  very  early. 

From  the  outposts  of  the  building, 

From  the  halls  and  from  the  tunnels, 

From  the  classrooms,  from  the  loekers, 

From  the  quad  and  from  the  library, 

From  the  flats  and  from  the  bedrooms, 

Came  the  students,  loudly  wailing, 

Came  the  students,  strolling  slowly. 

Students  fat  and  students  meagre. 

Students  tall  and  students  shorter, 

To  the  Hall,  to  Rhodes  Hall  coming, 

On  the  chairs  they  sat  complaining, 

Half  asleep  but  still  complaining. 

Very  sleepy  were  the  students 

In  the  tranquil  air  of  morning. 

Then  the  mighty  Duguay  shouting, 

"Oh  be  quiet,  stop  your  talking. 

Cease  that  scraping  of  your  benches, 

Cease  that  tapping  on  the  tables." 

Now  the  prefects  had  their  silence. 

The  order  was  that  all  must  stand  there; 

Through  the  door  came  Joyce,  Headmaster, 

With  arms  swinging  he  came  forward; 

"Sit  down,  hoys."  came  the  order, 

"Please  sit  down  and  stop  the  noise. 

I  have  glorious  things  to  tell  you. 

Tales  of  victories,  tales  of  triumph. 

Boys  of  Ashbury  School  defeated, 

Not  by  much  and  not  in  spirit. 

Only  nineteen  goals  to  nothing; 

Soon  I  hope  to  see  the  dayboys 

Turning  out  in  greater  numbers, 

Let  us  see  you  out  there  shouting, 

Let  us  see  some  more  school  spirit. 

Stand  please,  boys,  and  say  the  Lord's  Prayer." 

So  they  did  and  mumbled,  "Amen.'" 

So  Mr.  Joyce  slowly  left  them 

Head  in  air  and  keen  eyes  flashing. 

See  the  boys,  hurry,  hurry, 

Glad  indeed  to  get  to  classes 

And  to  leave  the  Hall  behind  them.

THE  WILD  HUNT 

To  thunder's  flash  the  wild  hunt  rides 
Stark  against  the  moon , 
Hell  hounds  bay  at  their  tattered  sides 
Moaning,  while  hunters  croon. 

Despair!   Despair!   The  hern-horn  cries, 
The  damned  ones  lash  their  steeds, 
No  mortal  knows  the  harsh,  keening  sighs 
—  Except  when  the  wild  hunt  feeds! 


PEACE 

Peace  is  a  word 

Of  the  sea  and  the  wind. 

Peace  is  the  love 

Of  a  foe  as  a  friend. 

Peace  is  a  dawn 

On  a  day  without  end. 

Peace  is  the  joy 

Bringing  war  to  an  end. 


A  PERSON 

Unimportant, 

Like  a  word  in  the  news. 

So  all  alone. 

With  three  billion  others. 

God,  take  his  hand. 

And  show  him  where  to  go. 

Don't  you  know  him? 

He's  the  little  stranger.

EDITORIAL 

This  year  has  left  many  happy  memories  with  all  of  us  who  are  leaving 
the  Junior  School  to  seek  our  fortunes  elsewhere. 

I  will  always  remember  the  all  too  familiar  call  of  "Strike  Three!"  ringing 
in  my  ears  as  I  sadly  left  the  batter's  box:  the  echoing  of  Mr.  Sherwood's  voice 
as  he  shouted,  "Don't  run  in  the  halls!'";  the  shrill  blast  of  the  refs  whistle 
as  he  pointed  to  the  penalty  spot;  the  metallic  clink  of  another  high  jump 
"flub'";  the  roar  as  another  Johnson  slapshot  ripped  the  net;  and  last  and 
most  certainly  least,  the  deadly  hush  that  greeted  the  "punch  line"  of  another 
Sherwood  joke. 

The  year's  athletic  and  academic  competitions  have  been  very  close  and  no 
House  need  be  ashamed  that  it  did  not  come  first. 

Of  all  the  days  in  the  year,  the  one  that  gives  the  greatest  number  of  boys 
the  opportunity  to  do  their  "thing"  is  probably  Sports  Day.  The  Day  this 
year  was  very  dramatic  and  all  over  the  fields  boys  were  breaking  their  backs 
achieving  personal  bests  in  order  to  give  their  houses  precious  points.  The 
feeling  of  pride  among  our  particular  House  when  our  Senior  Relay  Team 
won  was  so  great  that  you  could  almost  reach  out  and  touch  it.  Wonderful 
moments  such  as  these  make  up  an  experience  that  I  will  cherish  always. 

Whether  the  boys  that  leave  go  on  to  other  schools  or  to  the  Senior  School, 
I  know  that  they  will  always  remember  with  happiness  the  Junior  School  and 
the  way  of  life  and  learning  that  we  are  leaving  behind  us.

SCHOOL  NOTES 

The  Junior  School  is  divided  into  four  Houses,  and  the  healthy  rivalry 
which  results  is  one  of  the  most  important  factors  contributing  to  that  vague 
term,  "School  Spirit". 

I  am  introducing  this  topic  into  the  Notes  as  I  possibly  have  a  certain 
perspective  which  permits  me  to  be  a  judge  of  the  matter.  After  a  close 
association  with  the  Junior  School  for  many  years.  I  moved  to  other  work. 
Only  this  year  did  I  return  to  full  time  participation. 

Perhaps  this  will  allow  me  to  give  our  School  a  hearty  pat  on  the  back,  as 
I  think  I  retain  a  dispassionate  point  of  view. 

In  his  closing  address  to  the  boys,  Mr.  Sherwood  spoke  of  the  year  as  having 
been  a  good  one.  He  mentioned  that  there  had  been  better  -  and  worse.  If  this 
is  the  case,  we  have  a  high  standard. 

The  House  rivalry  mentioned  in  the  opening  paragraph  is  only  one  instance 
of  the  high  morale  of  the  School.  The  fact  that  a  boy  is  popular  because  he 
works  hard,  not  despite  this  fact,  is  another.  The  genuine  interest  which  the 
Colour  Board  attracts  is  another  factor,  equally  important  to  House  rivalry. 

The  staff  have  been  able  to  arouse  whole-hearted  support  for  such  varied 
group  activities  as  cross  country  running,  and  poetry  reading.  As  mentioned 
in  the  article  about  the  Chess  Tournament,  75^0  of  the  boys  entered. 

Perhaps  the  prime  example  of  School  Spirit  was  shown  when  practically  the 
whole  Junior  School  gave  up  a  Saturday  to  raise  money  for  the  Canadian 
Save  The  Children  Fund.  The  specific  purpose  was  to  increase  our  support  of 
Rosaria,  Ashbury's  "sister"  who  lives  in  the  slums  of  Rome.  Each  House 
produced  five  teams,  and  Rockcliffe  Park  was  divided  among  the  groups  who 
went  from  home  to  home  spring  cleaning.  Cars  were  washed,  lawns  were 
raked,  rubbish  was  disposed  of.  By  the  end  of  a  cheerless,  rainy  day  $536  had 
been  raised. 

The  boys  are  happy  at  Ashbury  because  they  work  hard.  After  careful 
screening  we  have  accepted  many  an  unhappy  "problem  child"  whose  be- 
haviour was  the  despair  of  his  parents  and  teachers  in  a  previous  school. 
Almost  without  exception  these  boys,  under  friendly  discipline,  have  fitted 
happily  into  the  Junior  School,  and  in  many  cases  have  made  a  considerable 
contribution. 

The  year  has  of  course  had  its  problems.  At  many  a  Monday  Assembly  the 
boys  have  sat  in  frightened  silence  while  Mr.  Sherwood  has  forcefullv  pointed 
out  misdemeanors.  Problems  yes.  but  no  outrages.  A  happy  family  has  similar 
situations  to  contend  with. 

'"Just  one  big,  happy  family",  is  a  trite  phrase,  but  I  do  feel  that  Ashbury's 
Junior  School  can  lay  claim  to  the  expression.

JUNIOR  SCHOOL  HOUSE  COMPETITION 

A  most  enthusiastic  competition  this  year  kept  the  lead  changing  from 
House  to  House  right  up  until  the  day  before  Closing.  The  result  was  very 
much  in  doubt  until  the  last  game  in  the  House  Softball  Competition  which 
was  clearly  won  in  both  divisions  by  the  bottom  House,  the  Goblins,  from  the 
Hobbits  and  Wizards  in  that  order. 

The  year's  final  points  were: 

HOBBITS       972  M.  Josselyn,   Captain   of  House. 

WIZARDS      952  S.  Belding,  Captain  of  House. 

DRAGONS     940  P.  Farquhar.  Captain  of  House. 

GOBLINS       889  C.  Teron,  Captain  of  House. 

Houses  competed  in  every  aspect  of  school  endeavour,  points  being  awarded 
for  academics,  colour  board,  choir  membership,  librarian  appointments,  sports, 
and  a  dozen  other  activities  from  the  pancake  toss  to  snow  sculpturing.  Points 
were  awarded  both  individually  and  for  team  results. 

Each  of  the  Houses  met  with  success  in  some  field  of  endeavour.  Below  are 
mentioned  the  various  House  Winners  of  team  events.

GRUB  DAY 

Grub  Day  has  now  become  an  annual  event  at  Ashbury.  It  would  seem 
that  we  enjoy  being  as  dirty  and  shabbily  dressed  as  possible.  Every  boy  had  to 
pay  250  admission  and  the  money  was  sent  to  St.  Michael's  Mission  in  South 
Africa  to  help  fight  cholera. 

The  vast  majority  of  the  Junior  School  entered.  Some  came  in  torn-up 
shirts  and  hacked  jeans,  others  in  scuffed  clothes  with  mud  and  paint  over 
them.  Some  took  this  opportunity  to  get  away  from  school  dress  and  came  in 
casual  clothing. 

There  was  a  grand  prize  of  S5.00  offered  to  the  grubbiest  person  and  Rod 
Dowling  won.

JUNIOR  SCHOOL  AWARDS 

The  two  most  important  awards  in  the  Junior  School  are  The  Woods  Shield, 
established  in  1941;  and  the  Stephen  Clifford  Memorial  Cup,  established  this 
year.  Winners  of  the  cups  are  the  two  most  outstanding  boys  in  the  Junior 
School. 

Shirley  E.  Woods,  a  distinguished  Old  Boy  of  Ashbury,  was  appointed 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors  in  1938,  remaining  in  this  position  until 
1945.  At  the  time  he  donated  the  Woods  Shield  three  of  his  sons  were  attend- 
ing Ashbury  in  the  Junior  School.  The  first  winner  of  the  Shield  was  John 
Turner,  presently  Minister  of  Justice.  This  year's  winner  is  Chris  Teron. 

Stephen  Clifford  came  to  Ashbury  in  April,  1969  to  complete  Grade  7.  He 
fitted  so  admirably  into  our  school  life  that  he  was  appointed  a  Monitor  the 
following  year.  Stephen  was  killed  in  a  tragic  accident  just  before  his  return 
to  Ashbury  in  September,  1970.  The  Memorial  Cup  is  awarded  to  the  boy 
who  has  made  the  greatest  contribution  to  his  House,  and  is  a  fitting  memorial 
to  one  who  himself  made  such  a  fine  contribution  to  Ashbury.  The  first 
winner  of  the  Cup  is  Mark  Josselyn,  Captain  of  the  Hobbits. 

THE  POETRY  READING  CONTEST 

As  with  the  Public  Speaking  contest,  interest  was  so  wide  spread  among 
our  poetry  readers  that  class  eliminations  had  to  be  held  to  reduce  the  finalists 
to  a  manageable  number.  On  the  day  of  the  event  our  judges,  Dr.  Spencer  and 
Mr.  Babbitt  were  presented  with  the  following  slate  of  contestants:  Blake  and 
Hall  II  from  Form  I;  Ablack  and  Tkachuk  from  Form  II;  Scott  and 
McKenna  from  Form  III;  Rosen  and  Pimm  from  Form  III  A;  Belding  and 
Stenger  from  Transitus;   Babbitt  and  Josselyn  from  Transitus  A. 

The  final  decision  was  a  difficult  one  to  make  as  one  of  the  judges  had  a 
natural  reluctance  to  give  his  son  the  top  marks  which  were  obviously  merited. 
A  third  opinion  was  provided  and  the  judges  were  persuaded  to  give  unani- 
mous approval  to  Babbitt  as  the  winner. 

Honourable  mention  went  to  Rosen,  last  year's  winner,  and  to  Hall  II  and 
Belding. 

THE  M.L.T.S.  TRIPS 

Relaxation.  That  was  what  made  the  exam  week  so  pleasant  for  those  of 
us  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  reached  an  M.L.T.S.  of  80%.  While 
the  other  poor  juniors  were  sweating  away  in  Argyle  writing  exams  during 
the  day  and  sweating  away  in  the  evenings  preparing  for  the  next  day's  exams 
we  were  relaxing. 

On  the  first  day  Mr.  Beedell  took  us  to  the  Dustbane  Company  for  an 
interesting  look  at  their  many  operations.  In  the  afternoon  we  were  going  to 
go  to  Parliament,  but  we  never  did  quite  make  it  in  a  group.  Several  boys  did 
attend  the  sessions  on  their  own. 

The  following  exam  day  we  did  this:  In  the  morning,  a  two  and  a  half 
hour  game  of  softball;  in  the  afternoon  Mr.  Humphreys  took  us  to  the  Air 
Museum. 

On  the  third  day  of  exams  we  went  to  play  miniature  golf.  Mr.  Tottenham 
took  us  on  that  trip. 

On  the  last  day  Mrs.  Teron  had  invited  us  to  her  cottage.  We  were  all 
looking  forward  to  the  trip  and  certainly  had  a  lot  of  fun. 

I  hanks  to  many  cooperative  masters  we  had  a  really  great  time  during 
exam  week.

THE  PUBLIC  SPEAKING  CONTEST 

A  great  deal  of  interest  was  aroused  when  this  competition  was  announced 
and  it  was  found  necessary  to  have  Form  eliminations  to  come  up  with  a 
final  slate  of  6  contestants. 

The  finalists  were  Belding.  Brodie,  Brookes,  Carson,  Johnston  and  Spencer. 

Belding  presented  a  relaxed  and  amusing  account  of  the  danger  from 
pickpockets,  particularly  in  Columbia. 

Brodie  gave  an  interesting  talk  on  E.S.P.  with  specific  examples  of  this 
phenomenon. 

Brookes  told  of  the  ways  of  keeping  healthy.  His  talk  was  amusing,  and 
showed  careful  research. 

Carson  talked  on  humour,  and  his  several  examples  of  the  subject  brought 
many  laughs. 

Johnston  told  of  a  personal  experience  with  a  friend  whose  interest  was 
chemistry.  Judging  from  this  account  we  are  fortunate  to  have  him  still 
with  us. 

Spencer's  talk  covered  the  sweep  of  Ancient  Greece,  its  history  and  culture. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  judges  Johnston  won  the  competition,  although  all 
contestants  were  congratulated  on  their  high  standard  of  speaking. 

Johnston  went  on  to  further  honours,  as  he  entered  the  city  competition 
and  won  third  place  in  a  group  of  about  40  other  finalists.

THE  TRIP  TO  AMHERST 

On  Friday,  March  12.  three  Ashbury  hockey  teams  set  out  by  bus  for 
Amherst.  Mass.,  U.S.A. 

We  started  just  after  noon  and  stopped  for  a  hurried  dinner  in  Albany. 
We  arrived  in  Amherst  at  about  9:30  that  evening. 

We  were  then  paired  off  and  went  to  sleep  at  the  houses  of  the  boys  on  the 
opposing  teams.  Our  hosts  were  very  kind. 

Next  morning  most  of  the  boys  went  around  the  town  of  Amherst  looking 
at  universities,  stores,  schools,  etc. 

Then  in  the  afternoon  we  went  to  play  hockey.  The  Ashbury  under  12 
team  played  first  and  were  defeated.  The  under  14  team  played  next  and  the 
game  ended  up  tied.  The  senior  team  then  played  and  that  game  also  ended 
in  a  tie. 

After  the  hockey  games  we  were  treated  to  a  glorious  banquet  dinner  and 
we  were  also  given  life  memberships  in  the  Amherst  Hockey  Association. 

The  next  morning  we  played  again.  This  time  our  under  14  team  won  its 
game,  but  the  under  12  team  was  defeated. 

Our  hosts  provided  us  with  lunches  and  we  set  out  for  home.  En  route  we 
had  dinner  at  a  Howard  Johnsons  and  got  back  to  Ashbury  quite  late. 

I  think  everyone  had  a  terrific  time.  Apart  from  the  thrill  of  playing 
unknown  teams,  we  were  exposed  to  a  wonderful  group  of  people,  increased 
our  knowledge  of  the  U.S.A.,  and  learned  just  a  little  bit  more  about  how  to 
handle  new  situations. 

The  trip  was  a  success.

THE  WASHINGTON  TRIP  —  May  18-21 

The  Washington  trip  was  the  fifth  annual  excursion  the  Junior  School  has 
made.  Montreal,  Quebec,  New  York  and  Toronto  have  been  the  cities  visited 
in  other  years.  All  of  the  school  trips  have  been  complete  successes.  Here  is 
my  account  of  the  visit  to  Washington. 

We  left  Ashbury  at  about  10:00  a.m.  on  May  18.  We  stopped  at  a  side  rest 
area  for  box  lunches,  then  continued  down  through  the  coal  country  to 
Harrisburg,  Pa.  where  we  stopped  for  dinner.  We  arrived  at  the  Ambassador 
Hotel  in  Washington  that  evening  just  in  time  to  watch  the  last  period  of  the 
final  game  of  the  Stanley  Cup. 

At  8  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  our  first  day  in  Washington  we  arrived  at 
the  side  entrance  of  the  White  House.  A  special  tour  had  been  arranged  for 
this  early  hour.  To  give  you  an  idea  of  the  age  of  the  White  House,  it  wasn't 
finished  at  the  time  of  the  inauguration  of  George  Washington  as  the  first 
president  of  the  United  States,  but  it  was  completed  by  the  time  John  Adams, 
the  second  president,  was  sworn  in. 

On  our  tour  of  the  White  House  we  started  in  the  East  Wing,  which  is  the 
most  recent  addition  to  the  White  House.  First  we  entered  an  oval  shaped 
room  looking  out  on  the  south  side  where  the  President  usually  greets  his 
guests.  Next  was  the  Green  Room,  used  as  a  sitting  room.  It  had  a  beautiful 
marble  mantle,  a  nice  clock  and  a  big  impressive  chandelier.  Then  we  went 
into  the  Red  Room.  Here  are  many  portraits  of  the  presidents.  Here  also  are 
pictures  of  Dolly  Madison  and  Mrs.  Kennedy.  Then  we  walked  into  the  state 
dining  room  where  formal  dinners  are  held  and  the  President  holds  his  press 
conferences. 

What  I  saw  of  the  White  House  impressed  me  very  much. 

After  the  White  House  we  walked  to  the  Aquarium.  There  we  found  many 
interesting  things.  None  of  the  fish  were  very  new  to  me  because  I  had  already 
seen  most  of  them  before  in  other  Aquariums,  including  killer  whales. 

After  this  we  went  to  the  Washington  Monument.  We  went  up  in  an 
elevator,  and  most  of  us  walked  down  the  approximately  450  steps. 

After  we  were  all  assembled  in  our  groups  again  we  walked  to  the  Museum 
of  History  and  Technology.  We  saw  lots  of  very  interesting  things.  One  was 
a  large  steel  ball  attached  to  a  long  thin  wire.  The  ball  swayed  from  side  to 
side  and  every  hour  would  knock  over  8  little  blocks  placed  on  a  large 
circumference  around  the  ball. 

Our  next  visit  was  to  the  Museum  of  Natural  History  which  was  next  door. 
These  two  museums  are  part  of  the  Smithsonian  complex.  Here  we  saw  some 
very  interesting  exhibits,  including  the  famous  jewels  "The  Star  of  India*' 
and  the  "Hope  Diamond". 

We  had  lunch  in  the  Museum  cafeteria  and  were  joined  by  our  guides. 
Then  we  walked  to  the  Capitol.  It  was  very  hot  that  day  and  everyone  found 
it  a  long  and  tiring  walk.  We  went  into  the  rotunda.  Then  we  went  through 
a  long  corridor  which  had  beautiful  paintings  on  the  ceiling  and  on  the  walls. 
We  were  able  to  see  the  Senate  in  session.  Hubert  Humphrey  was  there  but 
unfortunately  Mr.  Agnew  was  not  presiding  that  day.  One  of  the  page  boys 
was  a  page  girl. 

After  the  Capitol  we  got  into  our  buses  and  drove  to  Arlington  Cemetery. 
On  our  way  we  stopped  at  the  Lincoln  Memorial,  and  passed  close  to  the 
Jefferson  Memorial.  Both  of  them  I  had  already  seen.  In  the  cemetery  we 
saw  John  Kennedy's  grave  and  the  site  for  Robert  Kennedy's  future  grave, 
which  is  now  marked  only  with  a  white  cross.  Then  we  saw  the  tombs  of  the 


74 


three   Unknown   Soldiers,  one  from   the   1st  World  War,  one  from  the  2nd 
World  War.  and  the  third  from  the  Korean  War. 

After  this  the  buses  drove  us  back  to  the  hotel  for  a  swim  and  relaxation. 
Later  the  buses  drove  us  to  Maryland  for  a  good  steak  dinner.  We  went  to 
bed  after  that. 

On  the  morning  of  the  second  day  we  got  up  later  mainly  because  we  had 
more  time  on  our  hands. 

We  walked  to  the  National  Geographic  Society  where  we  heard  interesting 
things  through  microphones.  Most  of  these  were  concerned  with  expeditions 
which  the  Society  had  sponsored,  for  example  Scott's  adventures  in  the 
Antarctic. 

After  this  we  were  driven  to  the  Department  of  Engraving  and  Printing 
where  all  the  bank  notes  are  made.  Everyone's  eyes  were  bulging  just  watch- 
ing those  sheets  of  notes  being  printed. 

Then  we  walked  to  the  Smithsonian  Institute  to  see  the  different  kinds  of 
aeroplanes,  space  craft  and  other  things.  It  was  most  interesting  and  exciting. 
After  this  we  had  lunch  at  Russler's  Steak  House. 

After  lunch  we  went  on  an  F.B.I,  tour  which  had  been  arranged  for  us 
by  Marion's  father.  We  saw  laboratories,  pictures  of  different  criminals  and 
the  scenes  of  their  crimes.  Finally  we  had  a  demonstration  with  a  revolver 
and  a  sub-machine  gun. 

At  the  end  of  that  tour  we  had  free  time  for  two  hours. 

We  went  to  dinner  at  a  very  nice  restaurant  called  the  ''Bull  'n  Bear  '. 
From  there  we  walked  to  Fords  Theatre  where  Lincoln  was  killed  by  John 
Wilkes  Booth.  We  saw  the  play,  "You're  a  Good  Man,  Charlie  Brown''.  Then 
we  drove  in  the  bus  all  night  to  get  to  Ottawa. 

As  soon  as  I  got  home  my  mother  and  I  went  up  to  our  summer  cottage  for 
the  long  weekend.  As  soon  as  we  got  there  I  slept  for  about  five  hours  because 
I  was  so  exhausted.

THE  CHESS  TOURNAMENT 

The  12th  Annual  Junior  School  Chest  Tournament  (as  Mr.  Polk  insisted 
on  calling  it)  attracted  a  great  deal  of  interest.  Almost  three-quarters  of  the 
Junior  School  entered  the  tournament,  which  must  surely  be  a  record.  To 
give  added  interest  this  year  an  Ashbury  chess  team  from  Grades  5  and  6 
competed  against  those  Grades  at  Rockcliffe  Park  Public  School.  We  had 
several  individual  triumphs  but  were  defeated  as  a  team.  Wait  till  next  year! 

Here  are  the  results  of  all  the  games  played.

THE  CAMPING  TRIP 

The  day  before  the  trip  we  spent  one  and  a  half  hours  just  putting  our 
sleeping  bags  together.  I  had  to  turn  my  sleeping  bag  inside  out,  attach  a 
piece  of  cord  and  turn  it  back  rightside  in. 

The  next  day  I  was  driven  to  school  by  my  Dad.  I  gathered  all  my  gear 
together  and  entered  one  of  the  two  buses.  We  were  dropped  off  at  a  little 
dirt  road  after  a  short  drive.  Shouldering  our  packs  we  started  our  hike. 
After  about  a  mile  of  walking  up  hill  my  back  began  to  get  sore  and  my 
pack  to  get  heavy.  Adding  to  the  agony,  my  socks  had  fallen  down  and  there 
was  some  water  in  my  boots.  After  crossing  a  field  we  entered  a  forest.  Then 
we  came  to  a  low  area  filled  with  water.  The  water  was  about  two  feet  deep, 
and  a  lot  of  it  was  added  to  my  boots.  Next  we  started  an  exhausting  climb 
up  rugged  hills.  Some  hills  were  so  steep  you  could,  with  heavy  packs,  walk 
straight  up,  but  still  touch  the  ground  with  your  hands.  Finally  we  reached 
camp.  There  was  no  time  to  rest  for  meals  had  to  be  cooked  and  tents  put  up. 
We  split  up  in  groups,  Seniors,  Juniors,  and  the  girls  from  Elmwood.  Our 
sector,  the  Juniors,  soon  got  a  fire  going  and  then  we  started  to  cook  our 
meals.  We  were  given  packets  of  meat,  dehydrated  beans,  corn  and  mashed 
potatoes.  Newbergher  was  carefully  putting  his  stuff  into  separate  pots  when 
Mr.  Humphreys  came  along  and  dumped  everything  into  one  pot.  Almost 
everyone  was  watching  his  meal  cook  with  anticipation.  I  was  looking  at  it 
with  apprehension.  I  managed  to  wash  away  the  taste  of  this  mixture  with 
water  from  the  nearby  lake.  The  rest  of  the  evening  was  spent  washing  pots 
and  pans. 

Sgt.  Evans,  one  of  the  army  men  at  the  camp  told  us  that  our  sleeping  bags 
would  keep  us  warm  for  7  hours  in  -70°  weather.  My  feet  were  cold  all  night. 
Next  morning  there  was  ice  on  the  lake. 

For  breakfast  we  had  dehydrated  scrambled  eggs  and  bacon.  After  cleaning 
up  we  started  on  our  last  lap.  This  walking  was  not  as  tough  because  I  didn't 
have  to  carry  a  20-pound  sleeping  bag.  We  ate  lunch  prepared  by  the  Elmwood 
girls.  Eventually  we  got  to  a  dirt  road.  Just  a  mile  down  the  road  was  the 
spot  where  the  buses  would  pick  us  up.  When  I  arrived  at  the  spot  I  fell  on 
what  felt  like  rubber  legs.  So  ended  the  camping  trip. 

It  was  a  good  experience  and  I  learned  a  lot  about  living  in  the  bush,  even 
if  it  was  a  tough  trip.  In  two  days  the  group  covered  22  miles  of  rugged  bush 
in  snow,  sleet,  wind,  rain  and  fog.  Perhaps  I  am  destined  to  be  a  post  man 
when  I  grow  up!

JUNIOR  SCHOOL  SAILING 

Again  this  year  the  Ashbury  sailors  arrived  at  Lakefield  feeling  extremely 
confident  of  a  successful  day  of  sailing  ahead.  On  Saturday  morning  we 
awoke  to  a  beautiful  cloudless  day,  but  there  was  no  wisp  of  wind.  Undaunted, 
the  sailing  races,  or  should  I  say  the  drifting  races,  started  against  such  notable 
schools  as  Ridley,  Hillfield,  Crescent  and  of  course  our  host  Lakefield. 

The  lack  of  wind  was  against  us  and  in  the  morning  we  had  sailed  only 
two  out  of  the  four  races.  In  the  afternoon  we  managed  to  complete  the  full 
slate  of  races  but  unfortunately  we  came  last. 

My  hat  comes  off  to  Mike  Kemper  (skipper),  Bruce  Anfossie  (crew)  and 
Bill  Fuller  (crew).  They  all  did  a  tremendous  job  considering  the  conditions. 
Despite  our  lowly  position  we  all  had  a  most  enjoyable  trip.

JUNIOR  SCHOOL  SPORTS 


SOCCER 

The  Soccer  Team  this  year  played  very  well.  We  went  on  several  excursions 
out  of  town  in  addition  to  playing  quite  a  few  games  at  home.  The  success 
of  the  team  was  a  result  of  the  combined  efforts  of  all  the  players,  but  special 
mention  should  be  made  of  Mark  Josselyn's  consistent  goal  keeping  and 
Blaine  Johnsons  scoring  ability.  The  overall  standings  show  that  this  year 
was  one  of  our  better  ones.

CROSS  COUNTRY 

As  in  other  years,  the  grueling  cross  country  running  took  place  at  Ashbury 
with  Farquhar  leading  the  pack.  Although  Dowling  ran  the  fastest  time 
recorded  for  the  2-1/2  mile  course,  14,49,\  Farquhar  won  the  cross  country 
championship  and  rightly  earned  his  title  "The  Flying  Ferd". 

In  an  inter-school  meet  at  Greenbank  Public  School,  our  senior  runners 
came  in  third  out  of  ten  schools  which  is  excellent  for  such  a  small  school 
with  no  girls.  Mr.  Flynn  reckons  that  if  Ashbury  ran  with  Elmwood  in  outside 
competition  we  would  do  even  better. 

In  our  own  Meet,  the  results  were  as  follows: 

AGE  1st  2nd  3rd 

13  yrs.  Farquhar  Dowling  Carson 

12  yrs.  Beedell  Babbitt  Thompson 

10  yrs.  Flynn  Blake  Puttick 

As  a  whole  the  school  did  very  well,  and  I  am  proud  to  say  that  "Fearless 
Fred"  almost  broke  20  minutes  on  the  2-1/2  mile  run. 

Jeff  Beedell 

VOLLEYBALL 

During  the  Winter  Term  a  volleyball  team  was  formed  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Babbitt.  The  boys  were  very  enthusiastic  and  after  many  practices  the 
team  entered  a  local  tournament.  They  won  their  first  game,  making  them 
eligible  for  the  Cup,  but  were  eliminated  on  the  second  round. 

The  boys  returned  to  Ashbury  quite  happy  with  their  performance.  The 
short  season  proved  to  be  most  enjoyable  for  all  including  Mr.  Babbitt,  whose 
enthusiasm  spurred  the  team  to  quite  good  efforts.

HOCKEY 

Overall  we  had  a  fairly  good  season.  The  highlight  was  probably  our  trip 
to  Amherst.  Mass.  Our  senior  team  won  one  and  tied  one.  The  junior  team« 
lost   both    their   games.   What   made   the   trip   so   pleasant   was    the   fantastic 
hospitality. 

Another  trip  was  to  Lakefield  with  both  teams,  and  this  time  we  made  a 
clean  sweep. 

We  also  won  at  Sedbergh  and  we  came  back  to  have  hot  chocolate  and 
doughnuts. 

We  ended  the  season  quite  well  because  we  were  playing  much  better. 

David  Babbitt 

SOFTBALL 

This  year  has  been  really  great  for  softball.  The  draft  "Dodger"  called  Red 
proved  quite  valuable  to  the  team.  The  batting  of  the  team  was  fairly  good 
at  the  start,  and  we  all  improved  as  the  season  went  on. 

I  think  our  happiest  win  was  against  the  teachers.  For  once  we  could  put 
"them"  in  their  place!  I  myself  had  a  great  time  playing  the  games  and  going 
to  L.C.C..  and  I  know  everyone  else  on  the  team  felt  as  I  did.  The  people  at 
L.C.C.  were  very  nice  to  us  even  though  we  won. 

It  is  too  bad  the  season  had  to  end  so  soon:  everyone  wishes  he  could  have 
played  more.

CRICKET 

The  team  started  off  very  late  this  year  because  of  the  weather.  We  had 
only  one  practice  before  our  first  game  which  was  against  Sedbergh.  In  spite 
ftf  the  excellent  job  of  organizing  that  Mr.  Flynn  did  we  lost  by  a  score  of 
84-22.  Our  best  player,  Johnson,  was  missing  for  the  game. 

Three  days  later  we  played  a  return  match  with  Sedbergh  on  our  home 
grounds.  Bad  luck  was  with  us  and  the  final  score  was  76-37. 

On  our  trip  to  Lakefield  we  were  missing  Kemper  and  Sanderson.  Here 
the  score  was  119-28. 

It  is  too  bad  we  didn't  win  a  game;  however  the  team  had  great  fun  this 
year. 

The  top  scorers  were  Johnson  and  Harcourt,  and  our  bowlers  were  Johnson, 
Belding  and  Paterson.

THE  TRACK  MEET 

A  glorious  sun  was  smiling  on  the  Ashbury  grounds  on  the  day  of  our 
annual  Junior  School  Track  Meet.  Every  boy  in  the  school  had  entered  his 
name  for  at  least  one  of  the  events  except  for  those  few  whose  broken  legs 
were  still  knitting  after  the  ski  season.  Every  member  of  the  staff  was  pressed 
into  willing  service  as  starter,  timer,  judge  or  recorder.  There  was  full  Junior 
School  participation  and  the  day  provided  a  most  happy  break  during  exam- 
ination week.  The  morning  and  afternoon  events  were  run  off  with  the 
precision  always  provided  by   Mr.   Anderson's  organization. 

At  the  end  of  the  Meet,  ribbons  for  1st,  2nd  and  3rd  place  winners  were 
graciously  presented  by  three  Junioi  parents,  Mrs.  Belding.  Mrs.  Farquhar 
and  Mrs.  Josselyn.

LITERARY  SECTION 


ON  THE  FARM 

The  sounds  of  Dad  chopping  wood  for  the  pot-bellied  stove,  along  with  the 
cheerful  chirps  of  robins  quickly  woke  me.  I  dressed  hurriedly,  jumped 
through  the  window,  grabbed  hold  of  a  branch,  swung  onto  a  platform  I  had 
built  for  this  purpose,  then  slid  down  the  trunk.  Telling  my  Father  I  was 
going,  and  calling  my  dog,  I  set  off  towards  the  pond. 

Amber,  my  dog,  and  I  raced  through  the  dew  drenched  clover  which 
covered  the  trail  to  the  spring-fed  pond.  After  a  refreshing  dip  I  returned  to 
a  delicious  breakfast  of  porridge,  pancakes  and  maple  syrup.  The  syrup  had 
the  added  flavour  of  my  hard  work,  as  I  had  collected  the  sap  from  our  bush 
and  had  helped  Mother  many  nights  over  the  black  pots  of  boiling,  bubbling 
sap. 

Breakfast  finished,  I  loaded  my  musket  and  went  off  hunting  with  Amber. 
By  noon  I  had  reached  the  quota  for  our  larder  of  three  rabbits,  two  geese 
and  one  duck.  This  would  have  been  completed  earlier  if  Amber  had  not 
announced  our  presence  with  his  loud,  excited  barks.  After  a  lunch  of  cold 
turkey.  I  headed  for  home. 

Rounding  a  boulder  I  realized  I  had  gone  in  a  circle  and  was  now  on  the 
crest  of  a  hill  high  above  the  farm.  I  could  see  Father  plowing  the  garden, 
holding  tightly  to  the  ploughs  handles,  as  Jimmy,  our  reliable  work  horse, 
stepped  gingerly  around  the  stumps  and  rocks.  Mother,  I  could  see,  was 
scrubbing  the  clothes  over  the  washboard  in  the  large  wooden  tub.  My  sister 
was  sitting  on  the  rail  fence  cleaning  lamps. 

I  picked  my  way  carefully  down  the  hill.  Dad  told  me  to  chop  firewood, 
while  he  skinned  the  catch.  We  had  a  tasty  rabbit  stew  for  supper,  and  for 
dessert  we  had  roasted  acorns. 

After  supper,  as  Dad  read  to  us  from  Pilgrim's  Progress,  Mother  patched 
my  torn  breeches,  Jennie,  my  sister,  listened  sleepily  by  the  fire  with  her  cat. 
and  I  made  round  shot  for  my  musket.  The  dying  embers  signalled  bedtime. 

I  climbed  the  ladder  to  the  loft  and  crawled  sleepily  under  my  eider  down, 
filled  with  goose  feathers.  As  I  snuggled  down  I  wondered  if  the  feathers  in 
my  quilt  were  from  the  geese  I  had  shot  last  year. 

Just  before  I  fell  asleep  I  dreamily  asked  myself  what  boys  would  be  doing 
one  hundred  years  from  now,  in  1971.  I  didn't  suppose  there  would  be  much 
change.

THE  FUNNY  CLOWN 

There  was  a  funny  clown, 
Whose  face  was  very  brown. 
And  his  hair  was  white. 
And  his  eyes  were  bright. 
And  his  hat  was  blue. 
Stuck  on  with  glue. 
And  his  nose  was  green, 
Like  you've  never  seen. 
That  funny  brown  clown.

LIFE  S  EMBARRASSING  MOMENTS 

Because  we  are  all  human,  we  are  all  subject  to  making  mistakes,  and 
often  find  ourselves  in  embarrassing  situations.  I,  too,  am  fallible,  and  in  the 
following  paragraphs  are  some  events  which  made  me  turn  quite  red  at  the 
time. 

Arriving  home  after  a  very  muddy  game  of  soccer,  I  went  upstairs  to  have 
a  bath.  After  I  had  thoroughly  cleaned  myself,  I  got  out  of  the  tub,  dried, 
and  went  to  my  bedroom.  As  it  was  late  I  decided  to  put  on  my  pyjamas  then. 
After  searching  for  all  of  20  seconds  I  decided  that  I  couldn't  find  them,  so 
I  ran  down  naked  to  the  sitting  room  to  ask  my  mother  where  they  were.  On 
entering  I  got  quite  a  shock  —  and  from  the  look  on  her  face,  so  did  Mrs. 
Joyce. 

On  another  occasion  I  was  walking  the  dog  with  a  couple  of  friends.  Toby 
was  not  on  a  leash  and  felt  the  need  to  attend  to  a  natural  urge.  Before  I 
could  stop  him.  he  had  used  someone's  front  lawn  for  his  purposes.  The  owner 
of  the  house  stepped  outside,  and  I  was  extremely  nervous.  The  man  said, 
"Thank  you.  but  we  don't  need  any  today!"  and  with  that  he  handed  me  a 
shovel  much  to  the  amusement  of  my  friends. 

The  last  school  at  which  my  father  taught  had  a  firing  range,  which  was 
nearly  always  in  use,  for  I  saw  boys  going  to  and  from  it  all  the  time.  One 
day  I  decided  to  go  inside  for  surely  no  boys  would  object  to  a  four  year  old 
taking  a  look  around  their  shooting  range.  I  ran  in  yelling,  "Hold  it,  hold  it! 
Don"t  shoot!"  and  then  ran  straight  out  for  who  was  inside  but  the  Head- 
master showing  a  few  guests  around  the  school. 

Another  very  embarrassing  moment  for  me  was  when  a  teacher  told  me  to 
go  and  fetch  some  chalk  from  Mr.  Sherwood's  office.  I  went  out  to  get  it,  but 
when  I  knocked  there  was  no  answer.  I  returned  to  class  empty  handed.  The 
teacher  told  me  to  just  barge  into  the  office  and  pick  up  the  chalk.  When  I 
knocked  on  the  door  a  second  time  there  was  still  no  answer,  so  in  I  walked. 
What  do  you  suppose  I  saw?  Mr.  Sherwood  was  standing  over  a  boy  bran- 
dishing a  cane!  I  grabbed  the  chalk  and  exited  fast,  only  to  be  asked  what 
had  taken  me  so  long. 

These  are  just  a  few  of  my  life's  embarrassing  moments,  but  I'll  bet  that 
any  one  of  us  unfortunately  has  had  enough  to  fill  a  book,  and  by  the  time 
we  die  a  second  volume  would  be  well  filled. 

No  matter  how  hard  we  try  to  guard  against  these  situations,  they  frequently 
occur  and  we  must  make  an  effort  not  to  be  too  sensitive  at  these  times.

FANTASY 

Out  in  the  Wilderness. 

Out  in  the  trees. 

Out  comes  a  rabbit 

Running  on  its  knees. 

Out  in  the  meadow, 

Out  in  the  stream. 

Out  jumps  a  fish 

In  the  middle  of  a  dream.

IF  ONLY  I  WERE  A  TYPHOON  PILOT 

It  was  midsummer  1943  and  all  was  going  well  for  the  Allies.  Another 
plane  and  I  were  winging  our  way  over  the  choppy  Channel  on  a  night  patrol. 
Suddenly  I  spotted  a  German  E-boat  nosing  its  way  out  of  a  bay  on  the  French 
coast. 

The  bright  moonlight  illuminated  the  E-boat  and  I  could  see  that  they  had 
spotted  us  already. 

I  cried  out,  "Talley-ho!,\  and  flung  the  Typhoon  into  a  vicious  dive.  My 
plane  plummeted  downwards  and  the  E-boat  was  right  in  my  sights  when  I 
let  loose  a  salvo  of  3-inch  rockets  at  it.  There  was  a  huge  explosion  as  the 
rockets  slammed  home.  When  the  smoke  cleared  we  saw  that  the  E-boat  had 
capsized.  My  partner  lobbed  his  missies  into  the  flaming  wreck  and  we 
notified  the  sea  rescue  chaps  to  pick  up  any  survivors.  We  turned  around  and 
headed  for  home  before  the  whole  Luftwaffe  got  on  our  tails. 

When  we  got  back  to  our  base  we  agreed  to  share  our  kill  and  when  we 
made  our  report  to  the  C.  0.,  we  were  credited  with  half  a  boat  each. 

I  went  to  my  room  and  caught  a  few  hours  sleep.  In  the  morning  we  were 
called  to  the  briefing  room.  I  grabbed  a  piece  of  toast  on  the  way.  In  the 
briefing  room  we  were  told  we  were  going  to  escort  some  American  bombers 
on  a  raid  against  St.  Nazaire  in  France. 

When  the  briefing  was  over  I  walked  to  my  Typhoon,  "Tiger  Tiffie".  The 
armourers  were  standing  in  line  waiting  to  put  the  belts  of  ammunition  into 
the  4  20  m.m.  cannon.  I  got  onto  the  wing  and  climbed  into  the  cockpit.  I  sat 
down  and  admired  the  sleek  way  the  plane  was  put  together. 

All  around  the  airfield,  engines  were  sputtering  into  life.  A  few  minutes 
later  we  were  in  the  air.  Half  way  across  the  Channel  we  met  up  with  the 
Yanks.  They  were  thundering  majesticly  across  the  sky  in  grand  procession 
leaving  their  white  streaming  contrails  behind  them. 

We  got  into  escort  formation  above  and  behind.  It  was  hard  to  keep  at  the 
same  speed  as  the  bombers  as  they  were  flying  so  slowly. 

As  we  crossed  the  French  coast  I  suddenly  noticed  enemy  fighters  coming 
up  to  intercept  us.  They  came  closer  and  we  were  ordered  to  take  up  battle 
formation.  Then  the  Folke-Wulfs  attacked. 

We  scattered,  picking  out  our  victims.  I  dived  on  the  one  with  the  yellow 
spinner.  The  crosshairs  on  my  gunsight  slid  onto  the  fusilage  of  his  plane. 
I  pulled  the  trigger  and  held  it  back  for  five  gruelling  seconds.  Suddenly  the 
plane  turned  into  a  flaming  mass  of  metal.  It  blew  up  in  mid  air. 

Mr.  Babbitt  repeated,  "Where's  your  prep?" 

My  dream  shattered.  I  returned  to  the  reality  of  an  English  class  at 
Ashbury,  but  it  was  many  minutes  before  I  was  really  able  to  unscramble  the 
Germans  from  the  Grammar.

SMAUG  THE  DRAGON 

The  lonely  mountain  of  the  dell; 

The  lifeless  city  in  the  dell, 

Mark  the  home  of  the  dragon  bold, 

The  stories  of  which  have  often  been  told. 

And  down  there  on  the  lake, 

A  merry  city  lies  at  stake, 

Because  of  the  dragon 

This  terrible  dragon 
Who  killed  their  ancestors  years  ago. 

Then  one  happy  night  of  the  feast. 

Through  the  sky  came  the  terrible  beast. 

"It's  SmaugP*  they  screamed  in  terror,  "The  dragon!" 

And  every  guard,  he  dropped  his  flagon, 

And  picked  up  his  weapon  to  fight. 

No  words  can  describe  that  terrible  night 

Against   the  dragon 

This  terrible  dragon 
Who  killed  their  ancestors  years  ago. 

Then,  when  all  seemed  at  a  loss, 

Bard,  their  leader  and  fighting  boss 

Saw  the  patch  that  was  unsealed. 

And  shot  an  arrow,  while  people  quailed. 

And  from  the  sky  the  dragon  fell. 

To  go  and  pay  his  debt  in  Hell.

This  terrible  dragon 
Who  killed  their  ancestors  years  ago.

CROWS 

I  think  crows  are  one  of  the  nicest  birds.  They  are  big  and  black.  Farmers 
hate  them  because  they  go  into  their  fields  and  eat  the  corn.  This  makes  the 
farmers  very  mad  at  them.  Then  the  farmers  shoot  them. 

I  became  very  interested  in  catching  a  crow.  I  knew  where  they  were 
nesting.  That  gave  me  a  head  start  on  them.  I  made  many  trips  to  the  woods 
where  they  were  nesting  and  I  kept  finding  feathers. 

One  night  my  Dad  and  I  were  walking  through  a  big  clump  of  trees.  It 
was  such  a  big  clump  that  it  was  easier  for  us  to  split  up  to  look  for  the  baby 
crows.  About  five  minutes  later  my  Dad  called  me  over.  He  had  found  a 
baby  crow  sitting  on  a  branch  high  up  in  the  tree.  I  ran  home  and  got  my 
brother  to  help  us.  My  brother  could  not  climb  the  tree  because  the  branches 
were  too  weak,  so  I  climbed  up  and  tried  to  catch  the  baby  crow.  It  was  very 
hard  but  I  caught  him. 

I  brought  him  home  and  put  him  in  a  cage  and  left  him  alone  for  the 
night.  The  next  day  he  was  calm.  That  is  my  story.

A  LOOK  INTO  THE  FUTURE 

The  year  is  1981.  The  day  is  Tuesday,  January  21st,  and  all  is  not  well. 

Is  the  world  perfect  with  no  wars,  no  pollution,  no  population  problem? 
No  way! 

The  world  is  all  war,  and  nothing  but. 

How  it  started,  few  people  know,  and  nobody  really  cares.  But  whatever 
did  cause  the  war  set  all  the  continents  on  fire. 

For  some  strange  reason  the  struggle  is  between  the  continents  of  Africa 
and  the  Americas  on  one  side,  against  Australia  and  Europe.  There  is  bitter 
civil  war  in  Asia.  Antarctica  alone  seems  to  have  avoided  the  conflict. 

There  is  a  long  story  leading  up  to  the  blood  bath,  and  I  do  not  have  the 
space  to  give  you  the  details,  but  I  will  tell  you  this:  War  has  cut  the  growing 
population  from  7  billion  to  3  billion  in  two  years. 

No  more  is  science  devoted  to  solving  the  mysteries  of  earth  and  space; 
now  every  experiment  is  devoted  to  war;  constant,  bloody,  merciless  war. 

In  1981  binoculars  are  not  used  for  watching  nature,  as  once  was  the  case. 
They  are  now  used  only  in  sighting  the  enemy. 

School  has  changed,  too.  Instead  of  learning  that  one  apple  plus  one  apple 
equals  two  apples,  students  are  taught  that  one  H-bomb  plus  one  H-bomb 
equals  fallout.  The  war  has  affected  everything. 

Instead  of,  say,  the  Orr- Walton  hockey  camp,  youngsters  now  attend  the 
Agnew-Nixon  war  camp.  Nothing  is  untouched  by  this  inter-continental  war. 

Nobody  lives  in  houses  any  more.  Everybody  inhabits  bomb  shelters  instead. 
Because  of  the  war  there  are  very  few  trees  and  plants  left. 

To  someone  who  remembers  the  ways  of  peace,  this  war  is  extremely 
sickening. 

However  we  are  really  in  1971  and  all  these  events  will  not  take  place  for 
10  years,  so  live  it  up  while  you  can.

IF  ONLY 

The  highwaymen  had  taken  him  into  their  hideout  and  had  taught  him 
the  bad  ways  of  life.  He  was  a  good  boy  at  heart  though,  always  oking  on 
the  bright  side  of  things,  even  when  his  band  was  in  trouble. 

Then  one  day,  his  good  intentions  went  too  far  and  misled  him  to  Doom. 
He  met  a  girl  on  his  rovings  (a  habit  of  his,  roving)  and  she  told  him  she  was 
taking  the  noon  stage  to  Dover,  which  was  carrying  twenty  thousand  pounds 
worth  of  gold  and  silver. 

The  boy  soon  saw  that  his  duty  to  God  was  great,  and  that  he  wouldn't  tell 
the  thieves  of  his  discovery.  This  was  a  sound  decision,  but  unfortunately  a 
thief  had  overheard  the  conversation  and  he  scuttled  off  to  tell  the  chief  of 
the  thieves. 

Because  of  this,  not  only  was  the  noon  stage  robbed,  but  every  man,  woman 
and  child  aboard  it  was  killed.  The  coach  was  burned  and  the  horses  were 
captured  by  the  thieves  for  future  use. 

The  thieves  soon  revealed  to  the  lad  what  they  knew,  and  said  he  would 
die.  "Leave  it  until  dawn,"  said  he.  He  pleaded  so  hard  that  the  pirates 
finally  consented  to  kill  him  on  the  morrow  at  dawn. 


92 


That  night  the  poor  lad  couldn't  sleep.  He  lay  awake,  listening  to  the 
sounds  of  night,  —  to  the  sound  of  mice's  feet  on  the  wainscot,  of  the  tired 
twittering  of  the  birds  as  they  bedded  down  for  the  night,  in  their  nests  on 
the  eaves. 

The  air  smelled  fresh  and  purifying  to  the  body,  the  body  which  lay  half 
afraid,  half  sad. 

All  too  soon  it  was  dawn.  Then  it  hit  that  simple  minded  boy.  that  this  was 
God's  show,  His  festival.  His  parade,  His  ceremony,  His  celebration. 

The  light  came  pouring  through  the  air,  causing  birds  to  twitter  and  sing 
and  triggering  bees  to  hum  and  to  suck  sweet  nectar  artfully,  cheekily  from 
the  flowers.  The  trees  seemed  greener  than  usual,  the  air  fresher.  It  was  too 
good  a  morning  to  die. 

He  ate  his  porridge  for  breakfast,  his  last  and  most  delicious  meal,  the  oats 
and  salt  going  splendidly  with  the  milk  and  sugar.  Afterwards  a  black  cloth 
was  tied  around  his  eyes,  his  hands  were  bound,  and  he  was  ready,  ready  to 
die.  "If  only  I  didn't  have  to  die,  if  only  I  could  live  longer,  if  only  .  .  .  ." 
he  thought. 

"Bang!!"  The  echo  carried  and  died  away.  Everything  started  swimming 
wildly,  he  could  hear  a  cry  of  pain,  perhaps  it  belonged  to  him.  Finally  every- 
thing faded  and  then  went  black. 

The  next  things  he  saw  were  the  golden  gates  of  heaven,  waiting  as  it 
seemed,  with  outstretched  arms,  and  with  a  promise  of  a  blessed  contentment 
that  he  had  so  seldom  known  in  life.

TEN  YEARS  FROM  NOW 

This  is  the  year  1981.  I  am  still  attending  the  University  of  Stockholm  for 
personal  reasons.  I  spent  last  summer  in  Ottawa  and  the  changes  were  remark- 
able. 

Jacques  Rose  is  now  Prime  Minister  of  Canada.  Right  now  Mr.  Rose  is  on 
a  tour  of  Communist  countries  and  is  presently  in  the  United  States.  During 
the  absence  of  Mr.  Rose,  Mr.  Hughy  Newton,  late  of  the  Black  Panthers,  is 
acting  Prime  Minister. 

I  took  a  trip  to  Ashbury  College  but  was  unable  to  get  in.  A  National 
Guardsman  told  me  the  students  were  rioting,  and  the  Guardsmen  were 
surrounding  the  school. 

After  that  I  looked  up  some  old  friends.  Babbitt  had  had  an  operation  on 
his  ears  and  looked  quite  good.  He  is  married  to  Sarah  Farquhar  with  two 
sons.  Blaine  Johnson  has  arthritis  and  is  unable  to  walk.  I  was  surprised  to 
see  Josselyn  on  Welfare  —  he  was  so  promising  at  school.  He  told  me  Ray 
was  running  for  Prime  Minister  of  India. 

I  found  the  population  had  increased  enormously.  Ottawa  is  practically  on 
the  outskirts  of  Montreal.  The  hippies  are  gone  with  all  their  beads  and  hair. 
Drugs  are  also  gone,  since  they've  been  legalized.  I  was  happy  to  see  there 
was  no  pollution  (since  there  was  nothing  else  to  pollute). 

I  went  to  see  "Oh  Bombay"  at  the  Arts  Centre  and  had  a  frightful 
experience.  The  whole  cast  was  fully  clothed.  Shocking  way  to  act. 

All  the  good  old  movies  are  back  this  time  on  television  ( Candy,  Fanny 
Hill  and  the  rest).  I  went  to  see  the  movie  "Jumbo  the  Flying  Elephant". 
This  movie  was  banned  in  Sweden. 

I  suppose  there  will  be  a  few  more  changes  in  the  next  ten  years.

MY  ADVENTURE 

Hello,  my  name  is  Tiny  and  I  am  going  to  tell  you  about  one  of  my 
adventures.  Of  course,  I  was  a  stupid  little  puppy  at  that  time  and  didn't 
know  better  than  to  get  lost.  This  is  how  it  happened. 

It  was  a  bright  and  sunny  day  and  I  decided  to  explore  the  land  around 
me.  I  headed  toward  a  path  which  was  well  known  to  my  friends  to  be  very 
adventurous.  This  proved  to  be  true  as  you  will  see. 

I  was  walking  along  the  path  very  quietly.  All  was  still  except  for  birds 
twittering  and  the  usual  small  noises  that  you  hear  in  the  forest.  Suddenly  I 
smelt  something  unusual  and  I  decided  to  find  out  about  it. 

I  dived  into  the  forest  with  a  feeling  of  curiosity.  To  my  amazement  I 
found  nothing.  It  took  me  nearly  an  hour  to  find  the  path  again.  When  I 
found  the  path  again,  I  promised  myself  not  to  leave  it. 

I  had  been  walking  steadily  for  an  hour  when  out  jumped  a  rabbit  and  I 
took  off  after  it.  It  was  a  long  chase  and  I  was  the  one  to  give  up  first.  When 
I  was  chasing  the  rabbit,  I  did  not  think  where  I  was  going.  I  was  deep  in  the 
forest  and  it  was  getting  late.  I  wished  I  had  never  decided  to  explore,  but  it 
was  too  late  now.  I  learned  later  that  my  master,  Norman  Wilcher,  had 
become  very  worried.  He  got  ready  to  take  a  trip  to  the  O.H.S.  When  he  got 
there  he  asked  if  there  were  any  reports  of  a  black  and  white  beagle.  When 
they  said  no,  he  asked  if  they  would  organize  a  search  for  him.  They  very 
graciously  said  yes  and  started  right  away. 

It  was  a  long  time  before  I  got  up  and  started  to  find  the  path.  I  went  in 
three  directions  and  then  headed  west.  I  was  on  a  path  I  didn't  recognize 
when  suddenly  something  came  running  noisily  behind  me.  I  didn't  wait  to 
see  what  it  was  but  jumped  off  the  path  down  a  slope  and  landed  on  a  pile  of 
leaves.  Luckily  the  unknown  animal  could  not  get  down  the  slope.  I  ran  as 
fast  as  I  could  until  I  reached  a  cleared  area  and  flopped  down. 

The  O.H.S.  had  now  found  some  clues  as  to  where  I  had  gone.  They  had 
found  the  path  which  I  had  travelled  on. 

I  got  up  and  started  to  walk,  when  through  the  trees  I  recognized  the  path 
which  I  had  travelled  at  the  beginning.  I  now  knew  that  I  had  gone  around 
in  a  circle.  I  started  to  run  because  I  knew  this  would  lead  me  home.  When  I 
was  too  exhausted  to  run  any  more,  I  lay  down  and  rested.  Then,  around  the 
corner  came  two  men.  They  saw  me  and  picked  me  up.  They  were  taking 
me  home. 

When  we  got  home  my  master  thanked  them  very  much.  I  was  never  going 
on  an  adventure  again. 

MR   POLK 

Mr.  Polk  teaches  folk, 

And  he  also  likes  to  smoke. 

But  when  the  smoke 

Goes  down  his  throat, 

It  makes  him  choke, 

And  that's  no  joke. 

It  could  be  the  end  of  Mr.  Polk.

THE  UNDERSEA  WORLD 

Oh,  the  splendour  of  it  all, 

Oh,  the  glory  of  it  all. 

Oh,  the  majesty  and  bubbling  waste  of  it  all. 

The  corals,  the  reefs 

Perfect  as  the  sweep 
Of  the  sea. 

The  oysters,  the  pearls, 

The  clams  and  the  swirls 
Of  the  sea. 
An  eternity  of  sand 
Made  by  God's  own  hand. 
Touch  the  wet  miracle 
Of  the  sea. 
And  yet  as  it  flows 
In  its  underwater  shoals 

In  its  nooks  and  crannies  all. 
A  single  sprinkled  light 
From  an  oyster's  shimmery  white 

Glows  in  the  inky  fluid 
Of  the  sea. 

And  the  pearl's  glowing  white 
Brightens  darkest  night 

The  radiance  will  call. 

And  I  again  recall 

A  vision 
Of  the  sea.

MY  LOST  PET 

One  day  I  was  at  a  football  game,  that  is  my  dog  and  I.  I  take  my  dog 
with  me  everywhere  I  go.  We  were  at  the  Grey  Cup  in  Toronto.  When  the 
game  ended  everybody  rushed  out  the  doors.  My  dog  was  not  on  a  leash  and 
I  lost  sight  of  him.  I  looked  everywhere  but  I  just  couldn't  find  him. 

I  hailed  a  taxi  to  drive  around  the  city  in  search  of  my  lost  doggie.  After  a 
couple  of  hours  of  no  luck  I  paid  the  driver,  bought  some  candy,  and  took  an 
O.T.C.  bus  home.  As  I  looked  out  the  window  I  ...  I  saw  my  lost  doggie. 
I  asked  the  driver  to  stop,  but  it  was  right  in  the  middle  of  the  highway. 
When  I  got  off  all  I  could  see  was  a  bunch  of  cars. 

I  walked  14  miles,  after  which  I  headed  for  home,  which  was  6  miles  away. 

The  next  morning  I  phoned  the  Toronto  pound.  They  said  that  they  did 
not  have  a  dog  that  matched  the  description  I  gave. 

I  went  through  the  same  routine  as  I  had  the  day  before.  Just  to  make  sure. 
I  hailed  a  taxi  and  drove  a  little  bit  out  of  the  city  because  you  never  know 
where  dogs  can  go. 

Suddenly  I  said.  "There  he  is!  Stop  the  cab!" 

The  first  thing  I  saw  when  I  got  out  of  the  car  was  the  dog  catcher  and 
his  net.  He  scooped  up  doggie  and  put  him  into  the  truck.  I  followed  the 
truck  to  the  pound,  picked  up  doggie,  and  drove  happily  home.

Out  the  door  he  went  like  a  bomb. 

There  once  was  a  boy  named  Dave 

Who  did  not  like  to  behave. 

Though  he  improved  a  little, 

He  still  was  too  fickle, 

And  dirty  looks  to  the  teachers  he  gave. 

There  was  a  boy  named  the  Beetle, 

Who  was  savagely  pricked  by  a  needle. 

He  cried  out  in  anguish 

For  a  band-aid  and  sandwich. 

Now  the  Beetle  is  in  fine  feetle. 

I  am  a  boy  named  Pete. 

I  sit  in  the  very  last  seat. 

I  sleep  all  the  day; 

No  work  and  all  play. 

To  get  to  Grade  9  will  be  sweet. 

There  once  was  a  boy  in  8A, 
Who  decided  to  work  one  fine  day. 
Though  he  found  it  depressing, 
It  soon  was  obsessing, 
And  now  that  boy's  in  9A. 

There  was  a  young  laddie  named  Ron, 

Whose  hair  grew  consistently  long. 

Though  he  liked  it  that  way 

Mr.  Sherwood  did  say 

His  attitude  completely  wrong. 

I'm  a  young  lad  in  Trans  A, 

Who  tends  to  day-dream  all  the  day. 

I  sit  quietly  snoring, 

The  teachers  imploring, 

For  a  little  more  work  and  less  play.

There  was  a  young  boy  from  down  under, 

Who  made  all  geologists  wonder. 

He  dug  a  deep  hole, 

With  a  very  short  pole, 

And  journeyed  from  winter  to  summer. 

There  once  was  a  boy  named  The  Cake, 

Who  wished  only  to  swim  in  the  lake. 

But  there  came  by  one  day 

A  dismaying  relay, 

And  so  his  exams  he  must  take. 


There  is  a  boy  named  Mark, 
To  Ridley  next  year  will  embark. 
HeTl  no  longer  be  here. 
There'll  go  up  a  great  cheer, 
Because  he  became  quite  a  Narc. 

There  once  was  a  boy  in  Grade  8. 

Whose  brother  he  tended  to  hate. 

The  next  thing  I  know. 

He'll  still  be  my  foe, 

For  Grade  9'ers  the  seniors  will  bait.

There  once  was  a  school  boy  named  Matt, 

Who  wasn't  too  bad  with  a  bat. 

When  it  came  to  his  books. 

He  got  curious  looks. 

For  doing  his  prep  on  a  hat.

There  was  a  lad  from  the  Park, 

Who  arrived  in  the  town  via  Carp, 

He  said,  "T  am  sure, 

Mr.  Trudeau  is  pure, 

But  I'm  not  quite  so  sure  about  Sharp." 

George  McKenna 

There  once  was  a  boy  named  Ten-Ton, 

Who  never  quite  got  his  work  done. 

He  said  in  dismay, 

As  he  munched  away, 

To  eat  is  more  fun  than  to  run. 

Robert  Pelcis 

There  once  was  a  youngster  named  Ray, 

Who  did  nothing  all  day  but  play, 

When  it  came  to  his  test, 

He  did  not  do  his  best, 

And  so  now  he  studies  all  day. 

Arindam  Ray 

Robertson  would  like  to  pass  math, 
But  he  causes  his  teachers  great  wrath, 
It  seems  he  can't  win, 
First  Mrs.  Babbitt,  then  Flynn, 
From  both  he  has  taken  a  bath. 

Richard  Robertson 

It's  true  that  prep  I  ignore, 

I  find  the  whole  matter  a  bore. 

Like  to  enjoy  myself, 

Not  to  destroy  myself. 

It'll  never  be  "Prep  I  adore.'" 

Peter  Steacy 

I'm  a  boy  in  the  Junior  School, 

Where  nothing  is  really  too  cruel. 

At  first  I  was  dumb, 

Then  things  started  to  come. 

I'll  be  first  in  the  Senior  School.  (Maybe!) 

Chris  Teron 

This  crazy  8th  grader  named  Tross 
Remarked,  "I'll  show  them  who's  boss." 
Over  moguls  and  snow  bumps, 
Skied  backwards  down  ski  jumps, 
So  Tross  ended  up  a  dead  loss.

BRUCE  ANFOSSIE  likes  his  nick-name  (pretty  pink  party  juice).  Some- 
times he  plays  about  in  class  and  does  not  pay  much  attention.  All  in  all, 
though,  I  think  he  has  had  a  pretty  good  year. 

SHAUN  BELDING  has  finished  his  first  year  at  Ashbury.  He  was  the  only 
new  boy  who  was  elected  a  Monitor.  He  was  chosen  Captain  of  the  Senior 
Wizards,  and  got  an  M.L.T.S.  Shaun  comes  from  Texas.  I  think  he  has 
enjoyed  his  first  year  at  Ashbury.

STEPHEN  COLLINS  said  that  he  hated  Ashhury,  but   I   think  he  had  a 
pretty  good  year.  He  came  first  in  class  and  we  were  proud  of  him.  He 
knows  a  lot  about  science  and  was  the  monitor  of  the  fish  tanks  and  things 
in  the  science  room.

and  is  a  very  good  athlete,  particularly  as  a  runner.  He  won  his  event  in 
the  cross  country.  Everybody  likes  him  even  if  he  is  sometimes  very  serious. 
PETE  HARCOURT  is  a  nice  guy.  Sometimes  he  came  late  to  school  but  this 
is  because  he  lives  so  far  away.  He  had  to  start  for  school  about  a  quarter 
to  eight.  He  works  very  hard  and  has  had  a  pretty  good  year. 
ROBIN  HELMER  is  a  pretty  good  guy.  He  is  a  good  friend  of  mine  although

good  athlete  all  around.  He  works  pretty  hard.

than  he  lets  on.  He  was  a  Monitor  this  year.

in  school.  He  is  not  returning  next  year.

friend  of  mine  and  I  wish  him  a  lot  of  good  luck. 
IAN  SCARTH  was  a  Monitor  and  one  of  the  class  leaders.  He  worked  very 
hard  and  was  one  of  the  Golds  most  of  the  time.  He  broke  his  leg  but  was 
a  good  athlete  before  this.  He  was  popular.

an  army  architect.  He  is  a  very  intelligent  boy  but  thinks  too  much  about 
war.  His  average  at  the  end  of  the  year  might  be  about  71.3^0.  He  is  13 
years  of  age. 
JIM  WRIGHT  is  a  pretty  nice  guy.  He  has  a  lot  of  friends  and  is  very  smart, 
but  pretends  to  be  lazy.  He  is  very  good  in  science  and  knows  a  lot  about 
cars.

MICHAEL  ADJELEIAN.  My  favourite  subjects  are  math,  geography  and

from  the  public  schools.  When  I  come  back  next  year  for  Grade  8  I  hope
