Summer 1907 edition of Yggdrasill; created by the students of Ashburne House. The cover is blank. The Editorial appears on folio one. First is the news that Miss Oakeley the current Warden will soon be leaving Manchester and that she will be greatly missed.

It is noted that there has been some complaint of the 'unliterary character' of the magazine in recent editions which it is expressed that the contributors have the power to remedy themselves. The Editorial closes with a wish for good holidays to all the readers. The articles begin on folio two with 'An Apology for this Chronicle and Past Chronicles', by Hilda Diana Oakeley, Opposite this on folio three is an 'Ode', complete with notes, penned by 'William Wordsworthness'.
