Scope and content
The first entry is continued from the previous volume. This ledger was kept by the Head of House, in which they would note down details of boys who arrived and left each year, those who received the House colours, details of the 'Ash Tree' (the House magazine), comments on the characters of members of the House, comments on discipline within the House, details of sporting results, art events and music competitions, general notes and summaries of events in the House and anything else the Head of House thought interesting. Some entries describe the Play Supper. At the front of the volume are details of Housemasters, Heads of House, Monitors and the names of those who were awarded pinks and double pinks. Those awarded double pinks are also listed at the back of the volume. Inserted throughout the volume are house lists as well as notes by a researcher. There is also a list of members of Ashburnham who were killed in the Second World War inserted towards the end.
