Two trees are depicted with a hanging banner between them, bearing the title of the magazine. Opposite the first page is a group photograph.

Miss Stephens is well and back at Ashburne and this edition also has a contribution from former secretary Miss Cooke. There is an apology that the Ash-tree cover has not yet appeared (time constraints are cited) and also the Ashburnian motto and arms has not yet been designed (input is once again solicited from the readers). The editorial notes finish with thanks from the former editor (E. Parker) to the kind responses to the magazine and best wishes to the new editor (M. Phillips). The articles begin on page three with 'Chronicle' which is an update on the activities at Ashburne House including details of the current students names and studies. The following letter on page eight is to Miss Parker (former editor) from Miss Alice Cooke, former Secretary of Ashburne and now a lecturer in History at the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, Cardiff. A poem entitled 'The Stirrup cup' is on page ten, initialled C.L.C. Next is an article on page eleven in French 'Mes Premiéres Impressions d'Angleterre' by M.M. G. underneath this on page fourteen is an acrostic and a photograph of Ashburne House. The Athletic notes appear on page fifteen followed by a short story called 'True' on page sixteen about a fox terrier called Jack. The article 'Caution to Cyclists' which has been illustrated with pen and ink drawings begins on page seventeen. It has been signed 'Teragram'(?). Underneath the text appear three small photographs. The poem 'Ashburnians' Riding' follows this on page twenty-one, similarly illustrated with small photographs. A contribution on Lorenzo de Medici begins on page twenty-three and finishes on page twenty-six where another photograph of Ashburne House has been inserted after the text finishes. The final paper is a consideration of the incident in the life of Clive (Major-General Robert Clive) that is the subject of Robert Browning's poem 'Clive'. The Editorial is on page thirty.
