SCHOOL NOTES

We very much regret to record the death in August of Mr. S . R Hudson and we extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Hudson and her daughter. An obituary appears in this issue.

The following members of staff left at the end of term: Mr. R. C . Abbott, Mr. D. Clayre, Mr. W. M. S. Jamison, Mr. C. W. Mathews and Mr. R. K. Thomas. Mr. Abbott joined the staff in January, 1958 to teach Mathematics. This he did with considerable success at all levels. In 1963 he spent a year on an exchange with an American teacher at Oakland City College, Oakland, California. He was a keen supporter of school games, being for some years in charge of the 2nd Football XI. For many years he was in charge of training for R.L.S. awards, and he ran the House Swimming competition. During his last year he was in charge of all school swimming. The high standard of swimming owes much to his help and encouragement. The Wanderer's Football and Cricket will miss his active support. Mr. Clayre became a member of the Biology staff in 1961. He ran the Photographic Society and was most active in the C.C.F., in which he was O.C. Signals Squadron and attended many summer and arduous training camps. His work for the Drama Committee as Treasurer was invaluable. Mr. Jamison was with us for five years and was engaged in Mathematics and Science teaching in the Middle School. Mr. Thomas taught in the same department for two years and did excellent work in the Sixth forms. Mr. Mathews was with us for two years, teaching Classics. He was active also in the C.C.F . To all we express our gratitude for the

ready service they gave to the school in time and energy, and we hope that they will call to visit us whenever they can.

We are pleased to welcome the following to Alleyn's and hope that they will enjoy their stay with us : Mr. J . L. Beswetherick, B.A. Leeds, Classics; Mr. M . C. Grassly, B.Sc. King's College, London, Mathematics; Mr. G. Howard, B.Sc., Aberdeen, Bio-Chemistry. We also welcome back Mr. H. I. T. Rees, who has come to the aid of the Maths Department.

Founder's Day was celebrated on June 18th. Mr. L . G . Farrow, C.B.E., unveiled a plaque in the new Lower School Building, naming it the Spring Building in memory of Mr. Albert Spring, Headmaster of the Lower School from 1909 to 1949. At a second ceremony on the site of the new swimming pool the Headmaster formally launched the campaign to finance the new Development Programme, while K . Collett, the youngest boy in the school, turned the first sod, an activity soon taken over by mechanical diggers.

The Drama Committee is presenting Let's Make an Opera by Benjamin Britten on December 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th. Tickets may be had from the Business Manager.

R. G. LEACH, Hon. Auditor.

4th July, 1966.

MR. S. R. HUDSON The death of Mr. S. R. Hudson on August 15th will have brought

a deep feeling of personal loss to the many boys, masters, old boys and parents who knew him during his long period of service to the School. For the past forty years Alleyn's was his abiding interest and concern. This interest continued during his all too short retirement. As an assistant master from 1926 until 1947, as Headmaster from 1947 until his retirement in 1963 and thereafter as President and then Vice-President of the A.O.B. Club he identified himself with every aspect of school life. The work he did for Alleyn's and the influence he had on its development are immeasurable.

His greatest achievement was to preserve what was best in the traditions of Alleyn's and yet adapt those traditions where necessary to meet the needs of a changing society. As a result the School, particularly in its Sixth Form, grew in numbers but the standard of scholarship, far from being allowed to suffer, was enhanced. Games and Societies not only continued to flourish but increasing opportunity to take part in out-of-school activities was afforded the boys. The consequences of a temporary exile during the War were gradually overcome and the School re-formed without any loss to its essential character. As C.O. of the Corps and later as Headmaster he preserved the C.C.F. as an important feature of the School and yet made it more than a mere para-military organisation. Under Mr. Hudson's wise administration, Alleyn's became a school where every chance was given both to the able and the less able boy to develop his personality and to achieve his potential in work and games.

Mr. Hudson's concern was not only for those boys immediately under his care. He planned for future generations of Alleyn's boys and to this end embarked upon an ambitious re-building programme to improve the material amenities of the School. It is to his foresight that we owe the new Science Building, the class-room extension, the Lower School or Spring Building and the new dining-rooms and kitchens, all of which have been erected over the past five years. Indeed we today enjoy


conditions in which to work which he himself never knew but which he made possible.

As Headmaster, Mr. Hudson was intensely proud of the School's long history and association with the Foundation of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich. When the ties with the Foundation were threatened after the War and the future of the School was in some doubt, he worked to preserve its independence and to prevent it being "taken over" by the L.E.A. In the Direct Grant system he saw a ready solution of the problem and when in 1958 as a result of his efforts the School was admitted to the Direct Grant List those efforts had their just reward.

His, then, was a lifetime of service to Alleyn's, a school he loved and of which he was extremely proud. He will live in the thoughts of all who knew him and future generations will have cause to revere his memory.

HOUSE NOTES

BRADING'S

House Captain: M. A. Smith

Former Housemasters: Mr. S. J. Brading

Mr. H. Gregory

Trinity Term was a moderately successful one for the House, but any lack of victories was well compensated for by the tremendous House spirit shown by so many members of Brading's.

Both in the Junior and Senior House Cricket Knock-outs we lost in the first round, and in the Cricket League, despite the fact that the matches were not concluded, the Juniors started off very well and showed great potential. Parkinson and Goldstein played for the school's 3rd XI, Alderton and W . M. Tizard for the Under 15 XI and Battison and Laws for the Under 14 XI.

Both Norredam and Parkinson played in the School 1st VI Tennis team, and Norredam, our House Tennis Captain, is to be congratulated on leading the House to victory in the Inter-House Tennis Competition despite some very fierce and spirited opposition.

-


Both Clough and R. C. Parker represented the school in athletics, the former obtaining third position in the South London Schools mile.

In shooting, Nicholson and Urwin shot for the School 1st VIII, while M. A. Smith and Reeves fenced for the School 1st foil. In the Inter-House Fencing Competition, we narrowly lost, 5-4, to the final winners of the competition-Roper's.

The swimming gala unfortunately saw Brading's take last position despite strenuous efforts by members of the House. We really need more swimmers and hope that this situation will be remedied in the future.

We congratulate L. W. Reeves and M. C. J . Clough on their appointment as House Prefects and G . Baker on gaining a Travel Scholarship to Germany, but have to say goodbye to Dent, Page, Ward ill, Bird and Stepney, who in their many and varied ways have contributed to the life of the House. To them and to all our leavers throughout the House we extend our best wishes for their future careers.

Housemaster: Mr. L. A. R. Shackleton

House Captain: E. R . Ayling

BROWN'S Former Housemasters:

Mr. E. C. Brown Mr. R. L. Taylor

Mr. B. E. G. Davies Mr. F. A. Meerendonk

In the Trinity Term the House consistently showed promise and with similar constancy avoided success. In cup cricket the House was second only to Spurgeon's. The House fencing team were unfortunate to gain only second place in fencing cup matches; they did, however, make up for their lack of good fortune with sheer force of numbers which gained them the award for best House attendance. Although encouraged by the victories of K. Hull, our efforts in swimming met with a similar fate to those in cricket.

Congratulations to the House Captain on gaining the Farthing Cup and prize for cricket, his first eleven cricket colours and his half colours in athletics. Congratulation, also, to A. P. L. Williams on his appointment as captain of the School 1st XI and on the award of the M. J. Stewart prize; to Ratcliffe on gaining the Gale Trophy for Fencing and to C. N. Williams, G . Moat and J. D. Williams who represented the school in 1 st XI cricket.

We were sorry to say goodbye to three House Prefects: R. Celia, who was Head Librarian, J. E. P. Stanley, who was Secretary of School Shooting, and J. D. Smith, who played football for the 2nd XI. Finally, we should like to wish every success to G. P. Sims and K. H. Wright, who are entering university and to express the hope that the House will have a reasonably active and enjoyable Advent Term.

CRIBB'S Housemaster: Mr. R. R. S. Barker

House Captain: D. R. A. Hope

Former Housemasters: Mr. A. F . Cribb

Mr. W . H. Morgan Mr. L. H. Jones

Mr. M. H. Cocks The Summer Term produced some excellent results for the House.

Perhaps the best performance was that of the swimming team (Browne, Muller, Coulthard, Daunt, Evans-Jones, Elliott, Petterson and Hill).


Under Browne's able captaincy we attained second place in the Sports, which was an excellent achievement.

After a convincing win against Roper's in the first round of the House Cricket Cup we were unlucky to be drawn against the eventual winners, Spurgeon's. Our success in the first round was due mainly to an excellent display of fielding by the whole team. In the League the Senior and Intermediate sides held their own while the Juniors were very successful, winning all their matches. We had several school cricketers, namely, Hope, Dunley, Cotton, Evans and Harvey.

In the House Tennis Cup our Four, Hebden, Hope, Hopkins and Todd, were beaten in the second round but did well to produce a close match. against Tulley's. ~~lvin led the House to fourth place in the Shootmg Trophy CompetitIon. Cotton was again prominent in School athletics, with Hope, Hebden, Griffiths and Cottle also competing regularly for the School.

Inevitably the Summer Term was the last for several members of the House, including House Prefects, Lord and Aspinall, and the House Captain, Hope, whom we are especially sorry to see leave. However, we look forward to another successful year in which we shall make every effort to improve on these results.

DU'ITON'S Housemaster : Mr. S. Incledon House Captain: R. H. McLean

Former Housemasters: Mr. F. Dutton

Mr. C. E. Hack

With one exception, the sporting activities of the House, this term, did not achieve great material success, but, despite this, its displays in every field illustrated that extraordinary spirit and enthusiasm peculiar to Dutton's.

It was this enthusiasm that inspired us to take the Swimming Trophy, but much credit must also go to Pritchard, who marshalled our swimmers into a victorious team. It was this spirit, again, that partly helped to us attain such a high position in the unfinished Combined Cricket League, and which almost enabled us to upset the much-fancied Brown's in the second round of the Senior Cricket Cup-Brading's we earlier disposed of by the convincing margin of nine wickets. We fared even better in the Junior Cricket Cup, eliminating Roper's and Spurgeon's before going down ourselves to Tyson's in the final.

In the Tennis Cup we were unlucky the be drawn against the eventual winners, Brading's, in the first round, and we were narrowly defeated by two matches to one. We managed to reach third position in the Shooting League but did less well in the Fencing Cup, where we were knocked out in the early stages by Brown's.

Hook and Manning are to be congratulated on their elevation to "a position of trust and authority" in the House and Smith, Miles, Battle, Johnson, Soames, Thomson (B.), Carpenter and Lavis on representing the school at cricket

As always in the Trinity Term we regretfully lose many of our senior members who have helped to maintain the House tradition in the past, including our Captain and Secretary, McLean and Day. We would like to thank all these leavers for the support they have given the House, and to wish them every success in the future.


ROPER'S Housemaster: Mr. P . J . Gillard

Former Housemasters: Mr. A. J. Roper

Mr. F. Linnell Mr. F. A. Rudd Mr. W. J. Smith

House Captain: N. M. Houslop Mr. E. F. Upward

Although not excelling in all aspects of school life the House gained in prestige and ability by dint of enthusiasm and endeavour throughout the Summer Term.

On the cricket field our seniors met with stronger opposition than was anticipated. However the juniors, with their expected vigour and determination, gained a place in the cup semi-final but were beaten by a strong Dutton's team. At swimming and shooting we found little success. With several school fencers in our team we lived up to expectations by defeating Brown's in the final of the Inter-House competition-a hard fought and well earned victory. Indeed, S. M. R. Jenkins, Captain of the School and House fencing teams, is to be congratulated on being awarded the silver Amateur Fencing Association medal, as are Skinner and Eastwood for gaining their quarter colours and the bronze A.F.A. award. Horobin gained his junior crest, Ware-Lane, Houslop, Carne-Ross, Maggs, Rice, Steele, Spacey and Dobson all represented various school cricket IXs. Houslop, Shillinglaw, Steele, Spacey and Rice represented the school at athletics. Leech captained the 2nd VI tennis team. Skinner, Eastwood and Paul were members of the School Orchestra. We congratulate B. WareLane and M. Watts on their appointments as House Prefects.

With the end of the school year we must bid farewell to twenty senior members of the House. We should like to wish them all success and happiness in their future careers and like to thank them for their help and for the work they have done for the school, especially P. Warren, P. Perry (House Captain) and A. G. Leech (School Captain).

Despite the exodus of so many of the senior members, the House, with its influx of new members and under the captaincy of N. M. Houslop, is looking forward to a successful new school year,

SPURGEON'S

Housemaster: Mr. W. M. S. Boyd

House Captain: P. R. Crawford

N.M.H.

Former Housemasters: Mr. J. E. Spurgeon

Mr. L. C. Kingswell Sir John Maitiand, Bart.

Mr. G. E. Dodd Mr. G. R. Charnley

Poor weather conditions prevented the completion of the Senior Cricket League Competition this term, but at the time of the last match played Spurgeon's was well in the lead. The Senior Cricket Cup Competition was more decisive, however, and after a convincing victory over a strong Brown's team, led by the School Cricket Captain, Spurgeon's won the final, thus securing the cup. The House was well represented in School cricket teams by Dennis, C. C. Smith, Bateman, Crawford, Yandell, Beal and C. C. McKenzie.

----------------------------------------cq~--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------,


The School Athletics Team was captained by J. M. Greatrex, and five other members of the House, Swann, C. C. Smith, Beal, Davis and Middlemiss, were in the School Athletics Team. Spurgeon's was unfortunately defeated in the semi-final of the Inter-House Tennis Competition, but the House was exceptionally well represented in School Tennis Teams by Clark, Lawrence and K. Mason.

We wish to congratulae Yandell, Pritchard, Beal and C. C. Smith on their appointments as House Prefects, and P. R. Crawford on his appointment as House Captain.

We regret the fact that a number of very enthusiastic members of the House left the school this term, but we would like to take this opportunity of wishing them every success in their future careers, and we look forward to another school year with confidence.

TULLEY'S Housemaster: Former Housemasters: Mr. R . H. D . Young Mr. S. J. Tulley

Mr. J. V. H. Coates Sir Rodney Paisley, Bart.

House Captain: D. F . Buck Mr. S. R. Hudson Having adapted the talent which we possessed to its best advantage, we

started the term well with some resounding victories in the cricket league. Once again, however, the cricket league was doomed to failure through too few matches being played, and although both our cup teams played very nobly, they weF- overcome by Brown's and Tyson's, who went on to greater success. Roberts and Attwood both played for the School 1st XI and Mitchell for the School 2nd XI.

Neither shooting nor swimming were our strong points this year, and in both we could achieve only fifth position, although Taylor and Couchman continued to strengthen the School team. Our tennis team, who were favourites for the cup, were beaten in the finals after a very exciting finish. In Athletics, Attwood must be congratulated on obtaining half colours.

Once again the House excelled on the musical side, with Carlisle, M. R. J. Davis, HoIIis, A. S. Read and I. R. H. Whittaker taking part in the London Schools Symphony Orchestra Concert, providing more people than most schools do. We were even more strongly represented at the school concert, with Morris and Reed as soloists, and it is hoped that this " interest" in music will continue in the House.

We congratulate Hanlon, Couchman and Gibbs on their appointment as House Prefects, but are sorry to say goodbye to several senior members of the House, among them the House Captain, C. D. MitchelI, who goes to Sheffield University, C. C. H . Ball, Harris, Dunning and Morri s. We thank them for their very valuable service to the House over the years and wish them every success in the careers which lie ahead of them.

Housemaster : Mr. J. Logan

House Captain: N. J. Wilson

TYSON'S Former Housemasters : Mr. C. G. F. Tyson

Mr. J. A. Taylor Mr. E. F. Le Feuvre

The last term has been eventful, although perhaps not outstanding, with regard to the success the House achieved in its activities. The juniors, ironically, seem to have provided the rest of the House with fine examples


of keen competitive partIcIpation in all games throughout the year. In the Cricket League, which was once again curtailed by weather and exams, they won every game. The House Cricket Cup, however, provided the juniors with their finest triumph when they managed to storm through the final against Dutton's in grand style. Qualters was the hero of the side, scoring 94 in the 9 wickets victory, being out attempting a six for his hundred and for the Cup. The Senior Cup side, in contrast, received a speedy knock-out from a strong Spurgeon's side in the first round. However, the House did provide a number of cricketers for the School XIs, notably M. D . BartIett, M. B. Chambers and J. D . Lang, who represented the 1st XI.

In the House Shooting Competition, Tyson's were unfortunate not to repeat last year's victory, only just losing to Brading's by seven points. Nevertheless we must congratulate C. A. Fleming as School Shooting Captain and C. C. P. Muscio as the newly appointed Captain.

With the departure of N. J. Wilson, the House Captain, and other prefects and members of the House, we send them all our good wishes for the future. The House Captaincy is now taken over by M. B. Chambers, under whom we hope to repeat the outstanding success in last year's football and athletics.

SIXTH FORM CHALLENGE

No doubt some would say that Friday the 13th is not a day to take part in a contest of any kind, but this was in fact the day last May on which the Alleyn's Sixth Form Challenge Team, having no power to choose a more favourable date, found themselves on their way to Manchester to compete against Malvern College. On leaving Euston, it seemed only a matter of seconds before the sleek blue and white train was sweeping us along the new electric line at its top speed, a speed which drew only one complaint from the team, from a member who said that he could read his Chaucer quite comfortably, but he could not make notes for an essay. The rest of us read our newspapers, talked, and marvelled at Pittuck's ability to calculate the speed of the train at a moment's notice. Only 21 hours from London, we were being driven through the grim streets of the porthern capi tal to the Granada studios. Shortly afterwards we were almost rubbing shoulders with the inhabitants of "Coronation Street." After lunch the teams were introduced to the mystique of TV. presentation, and then competed in a preliminary bout, which Alleyn's lost miserably, and a full dress rehearsal, which they won convincingly. I sat in the studio audience with G andy, the reserve, and this experience brought a certain disillusion with the gloss of TV., for we were told when to applaud and for how long, and we discovered that the manipulation of credits is achieved by a man moving pieces of cardboard by hand. But complete disenchantment followed when the studio manager said, as he considered whether the shirt colours of the contestants were suitable for the camera, that the "whiter than white" shirts of the familiar advertisements are not white at all, but pink.

The contest itself was an exciting one, with Alleyn's forging ahead from the start and establishing a lead of 100 points within a few minutes. At the half-way stage they were still in the lead, but after the break for advertisements they failed to win some of the vital "starter" questions, and fell behind. The result was a win for Malvern, with 275 points to 205,


but those who. saw the transmission will agree that the school team performed creditably. Perhaps the date was an inauspicious one for Alleyn's, but nevertheless our excursion to the North was most interesting and worthwhile.

LmRARY

Master: Dr. E . L. Giles Senior Librarian: R. F. Lumley

Exhibitions displayed in the Library on Founder's Day this year were bound to glance at some of the significant anniversaries that fall in 1966: the Norman Conquest, Edward Alleyn (b. 1566), the Great Fire (1666), John Dalton (b. 1766), and H. G. Wells (b. 1866). Recollections of the School's productions of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera "Princess Ida" and of Shakespeare's "Henry IV" Part 2 were revived for us by many fine representative photographs. Additions were made to the records and proceedings of the Natural History Society and M. A. Smith was responsible for the History Society's display. There were, too, photographic records of the School's continental travels. By request Mr. Aston again exhibited his collection of photographs illustrating various aspects, historical and architectural, of Dulwich Village. Mention should be made here of the interesting collection of coins mounted by J. H. Atkinson, 4B. As a result of the interest shown in this collection we have acquired "Coins" published by Benn. I would like to take this opportunity of reminding readers that it was precisely for such books that the Richardson Bequest was instituted. In the list of books I have purchased from this fund during 1966 are publications on Chess, Soccer, Cricket, Bird-Watching, Fishing, Calligraphy and light fiction.

Towards the end of term senior members of the Library staff entertained R. Celia to a farewell tea. An official tribute to his dedicated work. for the Library appeared in a previous number. It only remains to mentIon R. F. Lumley who succeeds him as senior librarian. He is the second of the Lumley family to serve the School Library.

HISTORY SOCIETY

President: Mr. R. H. D. Young Secretary: M . A. Smith

During the Trinity Term the Society made two very successful visits to Oxford in May and Winchester in June.

On Saturday, May 7th, our President and twenty-four members of the school visited the Oxford colleges. After torrential rain on the Friday we were extremely lucky to have a bright and sunny day for our visit. Two Alleyn Old Boys, P. D. Lewis and M. Hallam, each kindly agreed to conduct a party and two further parties were led by the President and Secretary.

The President's party visited St. John's College, Trinity, the Sheldonian Theatre, where the degrees are conferred, and the Divinity School and seventeenth century Parliament House and Law Court. New College, Magdalen and Christchurch were also visited, Christchurch being the only Oxford college to have a cathedral within its precincts.

-

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 47~

Paul Lewis's party visited Bailiol, Trinity, the Radcliffe Camera, University College, All Souls', Magdalen and St. Catherine's, while Murray Hallam's group visited St. John's, Christchurch, Magdalen, New College, Trinity and Worcester, the only college which boasts a lake in its grounds.

The Secretary's group managed to see Christchurch, Magdalen, Queen's, All Souls, the Sheldonian Theatre, Keble and St. John's, and to see several of the halls in these colleges.

Unfortunatey, shortage of space does not permit a fuller discussion of the visits, but more detail can be seen in the Society Minutes which are open for inspection on Founder's Day in the Library.

On the Wednesday of half-term we visited Winchester, a VISit very kindly arranged by Mr. Clayre. Mr. Clarke took his car along, as did Mr. Medd, and we were also accompanied by Mrs. Clarke, our President and Mr. Clayre. Only five other keen members of the Society went on this trip which was very worthwhile.

We first visited Winchester Cathedral, which has an excellent uninterrupted view from Nave to Sanctuary. Winchester with its finely decorated chantry chapels and Norman architecture was to us very impressive.

After lunch we visited the Church of St. Swithun-upon-Kingsgate and Wolvesey Castle, which was seriously damaged in the Civil War.

We then visited the gardens of the bishop's palace and Winchester College, a fine institution-though not entirely meeting with our approval. Here we had tea in one of the maths. master's rooms before going off to Mr. Clayre's home at Bridge Lodge, Twyford, where Mr. Clayre's mother gave us yet another fine tea.

Visits like these always provide a refreshing break from the normal routine, besides being of help to many sections of the school. New members are always welcome to join the Society.

THE ELECTRONICS SOCIETY

President: Dr. M. E. Denning Secretary: A. M. Grundy

The major part of the term's programme was devoted to preparation for the Founder's Day Exhibition. There were many exhibits and amongst the more successful were a demonstration in stereophony, a display of timing and counting equipment and a radar operated door counter. This clocked up 13,140 people or hands passing through the door during the afternoon. There was also a fascinating but frustrating toy consisting of a wax candle and a poster defying anyone to light it. By electronics (not mirrors) the approach of a light activated a fan which blew out the match.

Another project this term by Bishop and Ebling has been the successful design and installation of a 14-line automatic telephone system throughout the school. This is a masterly achievement and mention is made of it elsewhere.

This was the last term for our secretary who is leaving to study electronics further at Sussex University. He leaves with the Club's best wishes and thanks for the enthusiastic way he has conducted the affairs of the Society.

AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE EXCHANGE For what appeared to be most of last year, two mysterious figures were

seen to be scaling the school buildings, trailing long lengths of cable. Theories as to their purpose ranged from a clandestine mountaineering club to "something to do with the B.B.C." On closer examination, however, the two figures turned out to be P. Ebling and R. Bishop, electrician and electrician's mate respectively, who were constructing an internal telephone system-later christened the "Eblephone."

The original conception of the system was for a small local exchange in the New Science Building, but in accordance with the theory of Parkinson's Law, the exchange expanded in relation to the number of subscribers available. It is now capable of handling two calls simultaneously and has fourteen available numbers. The dialling, ringing, engaged and number unobtainable tones are virtually identical with those of its larger counterpart, the G.P.O., but happily it does not have the latter's whimsical humour whereby one can dial Norwood and obtain West Berlin. The equipment used includes 67 relays, 12 transistors, six uniselectors and nearly one mile of wire. Twelve of the handsets used were very kindly donated by the Telephone Manufacturing Company, to whom we are very grateful.

Finally, I must express the thanks of the school to Ebling and Bishop for their splendid achievement. The system, spanning the school from the new extension to the lower school building, will prove very useful and no doubt will save pounds in shoe repair bills.

G.R.M.

THE BEAR PIT Presidents: Mr. P. E. Kingman, Mr. A. W . Mathias

Secretary: R. P. Stroud Treasurer: A. W. Tait Last term was not very active as pressure of public examinations forced

us to postpone our proposed production, "Trelawney of the Wells," until a future date. We are slowly progressing with our tape-recordings and hope that our younger members will be more enthusiastic in coming forward with new ideas. A production is planned for this year, which will entail a great deal of work. We would therefore welcome new members who would like to take part in this and other activities. We are sorry to see one of our most active members, C. N. G. Smith, leave for the Bristol Old Vic Drama School. We wish him luck in his future career.

THE RAILWAY SOCIETY President: Mr. D. W. Johnson Secretary: M. J. W. Svennevig

The Trinity Term as usual saw the Society's activities restricted to preparations for Founder's Day and little else was done. The layout area exhibited had been completely rebuilt but much remains to be done to provide scenery, signalling and further permanent way. Founder's Day itself was the climax of the Society's activities, with displays of photographs, posters, relics and individual member's interests. After Founder's Day, there was time only for a small party to visit the Bluebell Railway at the end of term.

The Trinity Term also saw the departure of most of the original members of three years ago, including C. J. Edwards, the chairman, and


P. Ebling, founder member and for some time Society secretary and chief electrician.

Membership this term reached 27, the highest number we have had. New members are always welcome on a Monday or Wednesday evening, and should contact the secretary.

THE AQUARISTS' SOCIETY

President: Mr. D. W. Johnston Secretary: J. Wilson Treasurer: C. Tydeman

Last term's idea of admitting lower school members proved to be a partial success because of limited facilities, with the result that membership is once again normally restricted to the thirds and above. Fortunately, however, most of last term's junior members have now reached this status. Our somewhat depleted tiers were filled with regIa zed tanks and repainted by the senior members only just in time for Founder's Day. The only real breeding success, apart from the ever willing livebearers, was Tydeman's show pair of Jack Dempsey Cichlid's which spawned twice and both times the eggs hatched, but the young fry, as did several other fish, just seemed to disappear. This term a new breeding tier is planned in which it is hoped that much breeding success will be had. The Club has room for a few new members and indeed fourth and fifth-formers are almost totally lacking.

CRICKET, 1966

This was undoubtedly the best season for some time. In terms of matches won it was not particularly good, but the number of winning draws in a period of very poor weather was encouraging. With an opening bowler of speed and accuracy combined we may well have won half our matches, but, as there was nobody really capable of running through the tail of any opposition we had to be content with a number of draws. The really pleasing factor was that no school side had the better of us, and indeed Brentwood in an exciting finish was the only side which looked capable of defeating the side. The only two defeats were against sides of skill and experience-the M.C.C. and the XL Club.

Above all the batting showed a great improvement on previous seasons. With two excellent centuries by G. P . Dennis and A. P. L. Williams and half centuries scored by E . R. Ayling, C. N. Williams and R. G. Roberts in addition to many other useful innings by a variety of batsmen, many runs were scored (about 1,600 in eleven innings for the loss of only 75 wickets). Only the M.C.C. dismissed us for less than 100 runsshades of a few seasons ago when 100 was a good score! Needless to say we batted right down to number ten, although Bateman at the end of the tail was more than capable of holding out; his skills were ony needed once, against Surrey Colts-for one ball!

Although the fielding was generally good and sometimes brillant, thanks being due to some tidy wicketkeeping by L. E. Smith, the attack lacked real bite. We had accurate opening bowlers with no real pace and quicker ones with either little direction or uncertain length. A good off spinner would have been much appreciated on some of the softer wickets while someone of Bull-Diamond's stamina and general aggressiveness would have helped when the wickets were hard.


The spirit and confidence of the side was tremendous and A. P. L. Williams as skipper must take much of the credit for this, as must viceskipper L. E. Smith. Since only one of the regular eleven is leaving we can look forward to even better results next year-if we can find some bowling!

I would like, on behalf of the team, to thank the Headmaster and many members of Staff for turning up so regularly to support the side. Our groundsman Mr. TyIer again produced an excellent wicket on which he and his staff must be congratulated.

As far as representative honours are concerned, Williams, Dennis and Smith all played for Young Amateurs' sides, the former for Kent and the other two for Surrey, all more than justifying their choice. In addition the school team won the newly inaugurated Midland Bank six-a-side competition at Beckenham, beating Queen Elizabeth's, Barnet, in the final round.

The remainder of the school teams had a satisfactory season without any consistently good results.

RESULTS APRIL 30TH, 1966, V. TRINITY. Won by 8 wickets.

Trinity 41 (Dennis 3-1, A. Williams 3-6). School 42 for 2 Against the medium pace attack of the School opening bowlers a weakened

Trinity side was shot out very quickly and the School had no difficulty in knocking off the runs. MAY 10TH, V. ARoINGLY. Match drawn.

School 210 for 7 dec. (Ware-Lane 31, Dennis 36, A. Williams 83, L. Smith 36) Ardingly 143 for 7 (Dennis 5-49)

A spirited piece of batting by numbers one to four followed by some ~teady but impenetrative bowling and splendid fielding. Dennis's slow left-arm spmners (I) accounted for the acknowledged Ardingly batsmen and only a good innings by Truscott kept the School from a well merited win. MAY 26TH, v. M.C.C. Lost by 75 runs.

M.C.C. 156 for 7 dec. (Bateman 4-55) School 81 (Ayling 27)

The M.C.C. scored more slowly than is usual, the slow outfield having much to do with it. Bateman bowled very steadily. In the School's innings wickets .fell regularly and frequently, against bowling which could have been forced away more often. JUNS 11TH, V. CATBRHAM. Won by 9 wickets.

Caterham 48 (Bateman 4-15, C. Williams 4-19) School 50 for 1 (A. Williams 30 n. 0.)

On a day when the new ball moved considerably, Caterham found Bateman and Williams difficult to play and only a little spirited batting took them from 21-7 to 48. The runs were struck off quite easily in fourteen overs. JUNS 14TH, v. XL CLUB. Lost by 35 runs.

XL Club 192 for 9 dec. (Bateman 4-64, C . Williams 3-62) School 157 (Dennis 64, A. Williams 38)

A rather miserable day produced some good cricket with some excellent catches being taken in the XL Club innings . A fine spell by J. Martin caused a collapse from 114-2 to 157 all out in spite of a fine innings by Dennis . JUNE 18TH, v. A.O.B. Match drawn.

A.O.B. 206 for 7 dec. (Dennis 3-21) School 151 for 5 (A. Williams 73, Dennis 35)

After holding the A.O.B.s in check before lunch the School attack failed to contain them after lunch and in spite of an aggressive innings from Williams did not ever look like reaching the total set.

JUNB 21ST, v. DULWICH C.C. Won by 5 wickets. Dulwich C.C. 148 for 4

School 150 for 5 (Ayling 36, Roberts 62 n .o., C. Williams 30 n.o .) It was noticeable just how limited the attack was during the Dulwich innings

which lasted only 40 overs. At 30-4 it looked an over, but an astonishing recovery by Ayling and Roberts followed a stand of 86 by Williams and Roberts, the latter justifying his existence after one-and-a-half years in the eleven, brought about an unexpected victory.


JUNE 25TH, V. KINGSTON G.S . Match abandoned. School 191 for 6 (Dennis 111 n.o.)

Kingston G .S . 26 for 4

479

At 2-0, 20-3, 51-4 we appeared to be struggling, but opener Dennis batted admirably for a fine century, and a declaration was made which gave Kingston enough time to lose 4 wickets cheaply before tea. Unfortunately no further play was possible because of rain. JULY 2ND, V. SURRBY CoLTS. Match drawn.

Surrey Colts 231 for 4 dec. School 218 for 9 (A. Williams 110 n .o., Ayling 36, Smith 46)

The Colts' usual strong side shredded the School attack before lunch and after about a further hour a generous declaration mercifully saved it from further punishment. Some spirited batting then followed, with a fine century by Williams, ably supported by Ayling and Smith. At 200-5 a victory seemed possible but four quick wickets fell, leaving Bateman to fend away the last ball. JULY 9TH. v. BRENTWOOD. Match drawn.

School 147 (Ayling 52, C. Williams 55) Brentwood 141 for 9

After some undistinguished batting Ayling and Williams scored maiden half centuries and a few lusty blows by Miles helped the score along. The match then proceeded to take several turns, first in the opposition's favour, thc::~ in the School's. Finally, everbody seemed happy to settle for the draw. An excltmg game full of uninspiring cricket. JULY 19TH, V. RUTLISH. Match drawn.

School 173 for 7 dec. (Smith 31, Hope 35 n.o.) Rutlish 125 for 2

The School accumulated runs gradually with everybody getting a few, including a lively and entertaining innings by Hope. Unfortunately Rutlish, in spite of a reasonable declaration, made no attempt whatsoever to go for the runs, and it was only by the introduction of a few .. rubbish" bowlers at the end that their scor< managed to reach three figures.

THE 1st XI, 1966 A. P. L. WILLIAMS (Captain). He has had a very good season in every respect,

with 400 runs at an average of 50 and many valuable wickets and catches. He got to grips with the captaincy very quickly and must take most of the credit for the side's successes.

L. E. SMITH (Vice-Captain). Althoul!h out of form with the bat for a part of the season, he played some useful innmgs. His wicket-keeping improved out of all recognition and made the fielding look tidy even when it wasn't. He backed his skipper up well throughout the season.

G. P. DBNNIS. A young opener who is probably the sound est batsman in the team, and who has improved Immensely this season. His left arm medium pace seamers and slow rubbish have also taken useful wickets; a splendid fielder in anJ position.

B. WARE-LANE. A opening bat of resolution, but too few strokes. His defence is still not good enough to keep out bowlers who are just getting that little extra out of the pitch. An excellent close fielder.

E. R. AYLING. Suddenly he has become a batsman who hit. the ball very hard and fairly often. His whole approach is more relaxed and his enthusiasm is stiU a great aid to the side. A useful fielder.

C . N. WILLIAMS. A most useful middle order batsman and an accurate mediumpaced outswinger and seam er. His batting is very determined but lacks real fiu.en~YJ and he bowls, as yet, un intelligently, without any working of the crease or varlatJon of pace. Nevertheless a most useful all-rounder to have in the side, especially as he fields well.

R. G. ROSERTS. The potential is still there and it even emerged once this season against Dulwich, but generally his is too timid an al?pro.ach to batting, although it must be admitted that luck has not always been on hiS SIde. A good outfielder.

P. H. BATEMAN. An opening bowler whose left arm inswingers are very difficcult to get away, especially Yfhen he has the .new ball. He ha~ always bowled fairly steadily but, against experienced batsmen, Without real penetration . A worthy number eleven bat.

Also played: C. C. SMITH, M. B. CHAMBERS, M. D . BARTLETT, G. MOAT, J. D. WILLIAMS, J. D . LANG, T. M. EVANS, A. J . ATTWOOD, M. HOUGHTON, N. M. HousLOP. A. J. MILES and D. R . A. HOPE.


THE MIDLAND BANK SCHOOLS' SIX-A-SIDE TOURNAMENT

July 14th, 1966 The eight schools were divided into two pools of four J the winners of which

went forward into the final round. The first match against Chislehurst & Sidcup G.S. was won without difftculty, our opponents failing to get anywhere near the 50 runs which we scored in the five Dvers allotted to each side . We appeared to be coasting home against Wilson's G .S. until Bateman's over; however, having won this tie by 52-41, only Christ's College, Finchley, s tood between us and the final. After scoring 75-0 in five overs we managed to dismiss the opposition for 10 in two and a bit avers,

Meanwhile Queen Elizabeth's, Barnet, had qualified for the final after an epic struggle with St. Dunstan's. Their two good openers were separated when Houslop bowled one of them early on (this surprised all but the bowler) . From then they toiled on to make 38 runs. After a couple of overs Alleyn's had 15 on the board, but a series of misfortunes led to the situation that with eight balls to go fourteen runs were needed. Luckily the batsmen had changed ends with the previous ball and A. p. L. Williams struck the next two for a six and a four. His brother easily managed to hit the necessary runs from the following over.

ATHLETICS Master-in-charge: Mr. A. E. Aston

Captain: J. M. V. Greatrex Secretary: N . M. Houslop The teams have enjoyed another busy and successful season, the

Seniors winning fourteen of their nineteen matches and finishing first out of nineteen schools in the South London Schools' Sports. Individual matches were won against Dulwich College, Highgate School, Brentwood School, St. Dunstan's College, Trinity School of John Whitgift, Caterham School, Haberdashers' School at Elstree, Blackheath Harriers, St. George's College at Weybridge, Chiselhurst and Sidcup Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School, Colfe's Grammar School and St. Stephen's . The Seniors lost to the Alleyn Old Boys, Emanuel School, Chigwell School, King's College Hospital Medical School and St. Dunstan's College in a return match. Occasionally we were depleted owing to examination demands but at


full strength we were hard to defeat. The Intermediates and Juniors were not so strong; there is a great deal of room for training and acquisition of specialist skills.

Not very many records have been set up but best performances have been achieved in some of the more recent events, namely the 3 Miles, the 2,000m. Steeplechase, the Triple Jump Class 11 and Ill. New records were set in the Class 11 Discus and Class III High Jump and 440 yards.

The Seniors won the South London Schools' Sports with 90 points, 30 points more than the runners-up, Tulse Hill School. Meeting records were set up by Baker (220 yards, 24.3 secs.) and Taylor (120 yards Hurdles, 17.1 secs.). Events were also won by Swann (880 yards), Chandler (Discus) and Houslop (Shot). Second places were gained by Greatrex (440 yards, 52.4 secs. equalled meeting record), Ayling (Triple Jump, 39 ft. 8 in., bettered previous meeting record), Williams (Javelin, 139 ft.), McLintock (880 yards), Attwood (High Jump) and the 4 x 110 yards Relay (Catt, Taylor, Greatrex and Baker). We had many other scorers, possibly the best 3rd being scored by Cotton, whose 6 mins. 53.2 secs. for the 2,000m. Steeplechase bettered the previous meeting record. This was a very fine team effort all round.

Only a few Intermediates and Juniors competed in their sections of the South London Sports, but outstanding were Davis (Junior 880 yards, 1st in 2 mins. 19.6 secs.), Soames (Inter 440 yards, 2nd) and Whittingham (Junior Long Jump 1st, 16 ft. 6t in.).

Many of our athletes would have been awarded South London colours had not examinations supervened but, as it was, we still had some encouraging performances in the London Schools' Sports. Baker won the 220 yards in 23.8 secs., Greatrex was 2nd in the 440 yards with 50.3 secs.

. and Taylor 2nd in the 120 yards hurdles with 16.8 secs. There were other good performances but it is worth while drawing attention to two Junior efforts: K. A. Davis, 4th in the 880 yards with 2 mins. 14.6 secs. and Whittingham 5th in the Long Jump with 17 ft. ot in. Davis twice broke the Class III 440 yards record during the term with 59.3 secs. against Haberdashers' and 58.5 secs. in the Crystal Palace Rotary Club Sports, at which meeting Whittingham cleared 5 ft . 3in. for a new Class III High Jump record. S. V. Robinson threw the 1 kg. discus a new Class Il record distance of 125 ft. against Haberdashers' on June 13th.

Later in the term the captain, Greatrex, returned to form after his illness and improved his 880 yards time to 1 min. 55.7 secs. in a club match. In the A.A.A. National Junior Championships he had been placed 5th in the 880 yards with 1 min. 57 secs. and in the A.A.A. Surrey County Championships he finished 3rd in the 440 yards in 52.5 secs. In the A.A.A. Surrey County Youths' Championships we were well represented by Palfrey, who was 4th in the Long Jump with 18 ft. 10 in. Davis won the A.A.A. Surrey County Boys' 880 yards and a medal for his performance of 2 mins. 18.7 secs.

The athletics standards scheme was in operation for the fifth consecutive year and 88 certificates were issued as follows:-

Age Class I Class Il Class III

Grade I 17

5 7

Grade II 8 7 3

Grade III 16 6 2

Grade IV 11

6

It is important to note that Class 11 now includes the same age group as the A.A.A. Youths' section and Class III is identical with the A.A.A. Boys' age group. This scheme was first introduced for the school sports in 1966.


Another impending change is the reformation of the school magazine and in order to fall into line with other sports the athletics notes will no longer contain full match details. Instead, it has been decided to publish a list of best performances during the year with the school records for comparison :-

It is hard to detect from statistics alone the great enjoyment we have experienced from this year's matches. Perhaps the most exciting result was our victory over Dulwich College by one point, 68-69, at the College. Events included Javelin, Discus, Triple Jump, 3 Miles and 200 yards Hurdles. We welcomed full support from Staff and Old Boys at this fixture, which was keenly contested. During the season we have had more matches than usual and this may have resulted in there being less time available for training. Without training and continual analysis of our methods we can never hope to reach our proper potential and it is hoped that those remaining at school will give this some attention before the spring. We should like to thank all those members of Staff who have taken such a keen interest in our sport during the year. Our main leavers are Swann, Taylor, Chandler, Hope, Griffiths, Palfrey and Latchford. They have given us splendid support during their careers at school and we hope that they will continue to derive benefit from their sport by taking it seriously after they have left.

RUGBY FIVES Captain: G. Baker Secretary: P. R. Crawford

After many years of mediocrity we have at last produced a fives team of some standing. For the first time since 1950-51 we have been unbeaten in all school matches-a feat made more difficult now by the gradually


rising general standard and the increased number of school fixtures. In the intermediate years we have produced good singles players and good pairs, but never a good four of a consistent standard. The fact that numbers three and four conceded twenty points in nine games shows the strength of the side as does the fact that each doubles pair won sixteen out of twenty games with approximately the same points aggregate. Even more satisfying is the fact that there is a very good chance of all four being back next year, by which time it should be an exceptional team.

Nor is the high standard restricted to the first four. The second four lost only one game, and that by a narrow margin, and had a large number of players from which to pick a side. As all of these will be back next year in addition to the Colts side there should be rare competition for places. The Senior Colts side after losing their first game, principally through lack of practice, won the remainder, and the Juniors fared rather worse. This seems to be a blank year as far as fives players are concerned but the boys who have been playing are a year young for the team and should gain valuable experience-the present first four had such a "blank" ahead of them.

In all, four school matches were lost-one by the 2nd IV, one by the Senior Colts and two by the Juniors (one by 3 points and the other when fielding a very much weakened side). Prospects look rosy for the future . 1st IV v. Whitgift. Won 172-57.

A conclusive victory in which the full talent of the side could only be estimated roughly. 1st IV v. Merchant Taylors. Won 139-117.

Without Ware-Lane we did well to win this as our doubles pairs had to be reshuffled. 1st IV v. Bedford Modem School. Won 146-109.

B.M.S., although they had one very good pair, had not the all-round strength to win the game. 1st IV v. Christ's Hos!?ita!. Won 180-38.

Again the opposition, denied of practice facilities by the destruction of their courts to make way for new ones, proved too weak to make any contest in many of the games. 1st IV v. St. Paul's. Won 152-122.

The same story as against Bedford. The strength of the second pairs enabled the School to maintain and augment the lead after the singles.

FENCING Master-in-charge: Mr. A. S. Jenkins

Captain: M. A. Smith Secretary: B. K. Dare

This term the Fencing Club has had success in a limited number of fixtures, but has had greater success off the field of play.

Half colours were awarded to Dare; quarter colours to Reed, Staiano, Eastwood, King, Flin and Skinner; and junior crests to Freedman, Milstone and Horobin. Skinner, Eastwood and Horobin gained the Bronze Award of the A.F.A. This term we regret the loss of S. M. R. Jenkins who has captained the Fencing Club so well for the past year. The Club looks forward to a promising year, with a new influx of members, under the guidance of Mr. A. S. Jenkins and Professor A. Moldovani, who has supervised the Club so faithfully during this year.

SWIMMING Master-in-charge: Mr. R. C. Abbott

Captain: K. Hull Secretary: M. R. Starr

The first three weeks of the Summer Term were devoted to House team training, rehearsing for the 440 yards Swimming Championship, and the School Swinlrning Sports. In the final of the 440 yards championship K. Hull, a previous record holder, stayed with B. R. Thomson until the halfway stage, and then Thomson gradually drew ahead to win in the new record time of 5 mins. 27 secs. This was an excellent swim by a boy not yet 14 years old. It is interesting to note that the record has been broken each year for the last five years and nine times since 1949, when the winner's time was 7 mins. 13.6 secs.

The Senior School Swimming Sports this year were won by Dutton's, who have a young team of very promising swimmers. Cribb's did very well to finish second by virtue of a concerted team effort rather than individual performance. The 40 yards, Class 11, Butterfly record was broken by B. R. Thomson (d) with a time of 23 .9 secs.

Results : 1st, Dutton's , 40 pts. ; 2nd, Cribb's, 34 pts. ; 3rd, Brown's, 29 pts.; 4th, Spurgeon's, 24 pts.; 5th, Roper's, Tulley's, 19 pts.; 7th, Tyson's, 15 pts .; 8th, Brading's, 14 pts.

The Lower School Swimming Sports were also very exciting and keenly contested. The result was in doubt until the last event, which Collin's won, thus ensuring overall victory. Collin's held the advantage in that their better swimmers were in the 2nd year and were bigger and stronger than the very promising 1st year boys in Henderson's.

Result: ist, Collin's, 122 pts.; 2nd, Henderson's, 121 pts.; 3rd, Baker's, 109 pts . ; 4th, Smith's, 64 pts.


We entered for the Bath Cup Medley Relays this year, for the first time, as well as the Freestyle Relays. However, we were unsuccessful in the heats. Both finals were won by Whitgift School.

In our swimming matches this season the U.14 team have been outstandingly successful. They have been beaten only once in 10 matchesby Brentwood School this term. They have a very well-balanced ~eam, including: Thomson, Bryant, C. Heayberd, Greenall, Unthank, Hamilton, Shadbolt and Stern. Three first year boys, Adams, Cotter and J. Heayberd, have also swum very creditably against older opposition in these matches. The U.16 have also done quite well, winning half their matches. They have been represented by Browne, Isaac, Kenward, Coulthard, C. Stewart and Wright. The seniors have not had many boys to choose from and have had rather a poor season in spite of some great efforts by Hull and Starr, who were supported by Couchman, Taylor and Pettitt.

SHOOTING Master-in-charge: A. J. Bowen

Captain: C. A. Fleming Secretary: J. Stanley

Small-bore shooting was carried over into the Summer Term by the House Competition. Some eighty marksmen took part, and Brading's House won the shield in convincing style.

Meanwhile the full-bore VIII were longing to get in at least one full practice before' their first Schools' Meeting at Bisley, the London and Middlesex, and this they were able to do, thanks to the Q.M . The. season proved to be most disappointing, with only a few of the best shots In form on anyone afternoon. C. C. P. Muscio provided our only co?solmg performance in the Surrey meeting, being declared . runner-up. In the Drayson Tankard Competition. The Ashburton meetmg was dlsastr0l;ls for the VIII as a whole, but D. Emlyn-J ones and D. R. Pamment dId well to qualify for two of the six badges awarded by the London and Middlesex R.A. to cadets of affiliated schools competing in ~e '.' Ash;,rs:" A new school "underwater" record was established .by the S~lpper .10 the Spencer-Mellish. Despite the appalling conditIons he fimshed WIth 44 ex 50.

While it is true to say that the VIII were sadly o';lt of form, th.ey were also out of practice, and not adequately protected agamst the .torrentlal rainstorm which washed them out of the placings fo~ the fi~st time ever. A further complication was caused by the butt-markmg, which was poor


enough, and slow enough to dampen the spirits of the VIII, which was more than even the weather accomplished!

Next year the competing schools are to provide the butt-markers and we hope to see restored the old spirit of co-operation between butts and firing-points.

Before we "forget" the 1966 Ashburton we must express our sincere admiration for those schools which finished in style, as usual.

In an attempt to provide more full-bore practice we hope to be able 10 use the range at Shoreham, Kent, for regular shoots throughout the school year.

Results; London and Middlesex, placed 16 ex 21. Sussex Schools, placed 34 ex 40. Surrey Schools, placed 7 ex 10.

Both the Evans' Cup and the Ashburton Medal were won by C.A.F. The following colours were re-awarded :

Half colours: C. A. Fleming Cm), C. C . P. Muscio Cm). Quarter colours: H. A. Nicholson (b), J . E. P. Stanley (bn), B. J . Summer

VOLUNTARY SERVICE ORGANISATION

C.T.R .

All sections of the V.S.O. had a more active term than usual, particularly those engaged in gardening, and in decorating. I was pleased to note the willingness of those decorating to put in extra time on occasions other than a Friday. To judge from the letters I have received their work has been most competent and greatly appreciated.


yaluable work was done by all sections, and I am very glad to report that m the Advent Term our Oxfam section will be fully operative again.

It should be noted that the V.S.O. exists not merely to give help, but to learn how help can be provided. During the term the efforts of one boy visiting an elderly person has resulted in the rehousing of the lady concerned. This is gratifying, not only for her, but for the boy himself.

I do hope that all boys leaving the V.S.O. will not forget that a postcard or telephone call to their local authority welfare organisation will put them in touch with people who need their help.

W .J.MCC.

C.C.F. For the C.C.F. the chief event of the Trinity Term is the annual

inspection. As is usual, a great deal of hard work in preparation for this was done by N .C.O.s and cadets, and also last, but by no means least, by a certain officer who prefers to remain anonymous. Field Day on May 27th was spent in rehearsing the inspection programme, and the results of this were apparent in the very high standard displayed at the inspection itself. This took place on June 10th, when the inspecting officer was Brigadier J. D. T. Brett, O.B.E., B.G.S. (Signals). We were pleased to welcome many guests, parents and O.B.s at this parade. This term was the first in which the contingent had been commanded by Lt.-Col. Logan and also the first in which the entire parade was conducted by the Under-Officer and Senior N.C.O.s. After the march past Brigadier Brett watched training and demonstrations by the various units, and stated that he was most impressed.

On Founder's Day, June 18th, the Signals section contrived a Tannoy System for the use of the speakers at the official opening of the Lower School Building, and at the cutting of the first turf for the new swimming pool and gymnasium. Despite having to be moved hurriedly from one site to the other, it fulfilled its purpose. A display of equipment, including the Glider, was arranged in the Paddock, and caused much interest. Meantime, the band provided entertainment on the Quad.

Earlier in the term the drill competition between the senior sections was judged by the Headmaster. For the first time for some years it was won not by the R.A. section, but by the R.E.s. We shall look forward with interest to the next round.

During July and August two cadets were awarded Flying Scholarships and five cadets obtained their "A" and "B" Gliding certificates.

Summer Camp was held from July 23rd to August 2nd at Cadover Bridge, Dartmoor, and was attended by ten officers and 20 cadets. Much experience of hill-walking and bivouac-making was gained, and it was generally agreed that this was the best green-fields camp to date. We shall certainly not forget the words which resounded through H.Q. lines immediately after reveille each morning-" You can't touch me; I'm a civilian Instructor."

At the end of camp we were sorry to say goodbye to two officers who have given much time and work to the contingent, Lieut. D. Clayre and Lieut. C. W. Matthews. We should like to give them our thanks and hope that they will both be happy in their new schools.

Plans for 1967 include a party taking part in the Nijmegen Marches, attachment to a regiment in B.A.O.R., Arduous Training in the Caimgorms, Weapon Training at Hythe and Greenfields Camp on Dartmoor.


The contingent wishes to acknowledge the kindness of 265 Light A.D. Regt. R.A.T.A. in presenting a Silver Cup, to be held each year by the cadet who gains the best result in the Army Proficiency examination. The trophy will be cherished as a reminder of the close liaison between this T.A. unit and ourselves.

CHESS Master-in-charge : Mr. R. R. S. Barker

Captain: M. Hopkins Secretary: P . N . Lavis This year the senior team, captained by Hopkins, is one of the

youngest teams competing in the London Schools' Championship. Although we have not the experience of the older teams, our style of play should see us through the season successfully. Our centre boards are secure with two senior sixth-formers, Yandell and Jewell, with Battle and WaIters bringing up the rear. Kosicki, Gibbons and Usher are our three main reserves.

This year's juniors are very promising and I hope they will go through the season undefeated. The team was chosen from the following: Fry, Mortimer, Davies, R. F. Talbert, Jenkins, E . E . McLennan-Murray, Lowry, Holmes, A. E. Talbot, Stern, Murray, Robertson.

This year the Inter-House Chess was played as a knock-out tournament instead of the long drawn-out league. This proved quite interesting as the two strongest Houses-Cribb's and Spurgeon's-met in the fi rs t round. The final is yet to be played.

The new third-formers are very keen and we hope to start up a chess club so they can play during breaks and after school.

LETTER FROM CAMBRIDGE The now flourishing Cambridge Alleyn Society assembled as a corporate

body for the first time in the 1965-66 academic year at a sherry party given by the ever hospitable Professor F. G . Young at Darwin College. Among those present were six green but keen freshmen whom the elder members of the Society looked to to keep up the high standard set by themselves in realms both sporting and cultural.

And indeed this past year on the sporting fields of Cambridge the magnificent physical achievements of the past Society members were nobly continued. At Queens' Peter Brown and Kim Redshaw distinguished themselves by gaining full College Football, Darts and Drinking Colours.


Martin Wood at Churchill, in his very first year, strode into the College Tiddly-winks Cuppers Team. Michael Rudkin has been regularly coxing the Jesus IVth boat and arrogantly claims to have crumpled one boat already. Mike Llewellyn-Smith has by now become an almost legendary figure in Cambridge Boxing circles, having boxed for the University Tigers for the third year in a row, but he modestly declines the Lonsdale Belt this feat entitles h im to. Bob Dolby and Barney Evans were awarded their second half blue each for Fives and Fencing respectively, while Roger Dollimore narrowly missed the Olympics team, but did add to his prowess (and, some say, his bank balance) by using his influential pen as a Committee Member of the Hawks Club to insinuate Evans, Dolby and L1ewellyn-Smith into that establishment.

Jack Laskowski managed to straddle both the sporting and the cultural worlds by sharing his time and energy equally between directing and acting in the Pembroke College performance of Pinter's "The Dumb Waiter," and averaging 12 hours a day on the croquet lawns. Another A.O.B. with vast stores of energy has been Alan Carter, who is seldom to be found at St. John's but more likely at Winchester or Stonehenge digging up ancient Druids. Graham Barker, apart from being secretary of his college Classical Society, has recently been climbing rock faces, a passion which his friends ascribe with sympathetic understanding to his living on a spiral staircase.

Yet others have scorned these "sickeningly physical" activities and devoted their vigour to things of a higher order. Roger Morris boasts proudly of his appointment as Chairman of the Pembroke Musical Society, while Warwick Edwards claims to have arranged many a concert and to have contributed to the Founder's Day Concert. Roger and Warwick combined their talents when performing in the Cambridge University Concert Band.

But, of course, there is study to be accomplished as well. Kim Redshaw cunningly avoided it for months by swiftly contracting glandular fever; Barry Howells contemplated it while playing Atlas to the Jesus J.C.R. bar; and David Thomas, despite daily worsening trouble with ph-ph-pharmacology, tried to pretend it wasn't really there. Bruce McClellan, always acknowledged as a bit of an academic in an ivory tower, must have been working, for he intends to research into Liturgy at Oxford. The Society's best wishes go with him. Best wishes also go to our leavers : to Peter Brown, tempted by I.C.I. 's filthy lucre from the English Faculty Library away to the chill depths of Scotland; to Peter Balaam, who is going to hotter climes to do evangelistic work; to Mike L1ewellyn-Smith, who is going to Melbourne, Australia, for a year's architectural practice; to Roger Morris and to Warwick Edwards, whose musical interests will doubtless keep them in the vicinity, as opposed to David Thomas and Barney Evans, both of whom are soon to marry and emigrate, the one to Birmingham, the other to Johannesburg. Special congratulations go to these two bold fellows and also to Mike Holmes on his recent marriage and to Professor Young on his appointment as Master of Darwin College.

Finally, a word about the Cambridge Alleyn Society Annual Dinner. This year's, held at Churchill College, proved an enjoyable affair despite poor attendance. Highlights of the evening were the inevitable nonappearance of our effete aesthete, Keith Johnson, from Oxford, the two speeches, full of such bad jokes that they must have been contrived as such, and the spirited heckling and barracking given the speakers by our Queens' men. The Society invites any A.O.B. who was at Cambridge to attend the Dinner, to be held in February. Details can be had from the Secretary of the Society, G. W. W. Barker, St. John's College.


UNDER 12-!- CRICKET

The first year eleven won six and lost four of its ten games in a season seriously affected by the rains of May whic!-" reduced the allImportant early Wednesday practices to the bare minimum of one. Although the team made full use of breaks for fielding practices, experience of match play had to be gained in the school fixtures, which might well explain the team's collapse against Emanuel in their first match. If this was the second lowest score by any Alleyn's U .12-! team it appeared likely that the lowest score of 21 would not be achieved a fortnight later when the side found themselves playing Trinity's U.13t XI at Croydon. At 2.40 p.m. the scoreboard read 3 runs (all extras) for 6 wickets. Davis (43 not out) and Di Palm a (34) then put on 72 for the seventh wicket, a new Lower School record. Trinity went on to win that match but the stand between Davis and Di Palma proved the turning point of the season. Dulwich College were defeated twice and Emanuel beaten in the return game by 4 wickets after a chanceless stand of 70 in sixty minutes for the fifth wicket between Laggett (41 not out) and Davis (33). Indeed Laggett, Davis and Di Palma scored the majority of the team's runs, alhough Harvey's 32 won the second match against Dulwich College.

The team's ability to dismiss most sides for a moderate score was in large part due to bowling of Langford, who came within two wickets of breaking Evans's Lower School record of 49 wickets in a seas,on. Bowling a variety of seam and leg spin he took seven or more wickets in an innings on three occasions and in two games against Dulwich College captured eleven wickets for 51 runs. It is the first time for many seasons that the U.12t team has possessed a boy able to bowl two types of delivery with equal consistency, and Evans played in five more games when he set up his record two years ago. Unfortunately only Laggett, the captain, who took 19 wickets, was able to support Langford adequately with the ball, although Davis had too few opportunities to strike a length with his leg breaks.

The standard of fielding varied from match to match but was nearly always adequate, with the catching of Carver at times outstanding.

Team selected from: Laggett, Bastick, Bieda, Carver, Crockford, Davis, Di Palma, Harvey, J. Heayberd, Langford, Newman, Robertson, Saunders, P. Smith, Taylor.

UNDER 13 CRICKET

J.R.

The Under 13 XI had a very mixed season the most disappointing factor being that they won only one of the important games, the first match against Dulwich College. Nearly always the batting failed at crucial moments, or else an important catch was either dropped or not attempted.


The bowling was good, and only Dulwich CoIlege and the Parents scored more than 70 runs off the attack. After an indifferent beginning, Thomson bec.ame .the most successful bowler, ably supported by Grice and Gregory, whll~ ~Ice and Tu~~r bow~ed their leg and off spin effectively considering the limited opportuntttes available to them. Saward's batting was outstanding, even when he appeared for the Under 14 XI, his 403 runs during the season was no mean feat for a second year boy, and he fully deserved the award of the Groves trophy. Wiltshire was the next most successful bat, although he never did full justice to his strength and ability by reading more difficulty into the bowling than was there. Carpenter's sound technique in the nets was always apparent, but only three times did he show it at the crease. Rice's batting became progressively better during the season, and Gamgee and Gregory enjoyed three or four entertaining innings by virtue of their good eye and intelligent hitting. The fielding, unfortunately, was not of a high standard, and Saward's wicket-keeping suffered somewhat from a lack of agility and of concentration.

The first match against Dulwich College was very exciting, the winning runs being scored in the last over, and the second game was closer than the score suggests. Emanuel were never in the hunt for victory, and only escaped with a draw on both occasions due to our poor fielding and catching, while we were soundly beaten by Tulse HilI, Brentwood and the Parents. The Caterham match was outstanding for an excellent stand of 124 between Saward and Rice, and the season ended on a successful note when RutIish were beaten by 88 runs.

The team was selected from: Saward (Captain), Carpenter, Gamgee, Gregory, Grice, Rice, Shepheard, Thompson, Turner, Westwood, White, Wiltshire, Batchelor, Collins, Freedman, Harvey, Laggett, Langford.

MR S. R. HUDSON

AN ApPRECIATION

Mr. Hudson was given all too few years in which to enjoy the fruits of his long labours for Al1eyn's School, and for the many thousands who came to know him, to learn from him and invariably to love him. Characteristical1y he spent those years not in isolated retirement but in the closest proximity to the School and its affairs, and in finding new oppotunities of service to an institution which already bore so many distinguished marks of his benign influence.

His approach to teaching was essentially practical. He was concerned to produce the well-rounded scholar whose education would be relevant to the world of fact and human experience. A specialist in geography, he brought this subject into vivid relation with the international problems of the day, and created for many an extra-curricular but lasting interest in these matters.

The ful1 extent of his contribution to the life and wel1 being of one school was remarkable. Above all, his personal example and counsel make for the loss of a unique friend.

CENTRAL CLUB COMMrITEE MEETING ALLEYN'S SCHOOL, JULY 11th, 1966

The President, Air Marshal Sir Waiter Pretty, K.B.E., C.B., was in the Chair, and twenty members were present.


The Annual Dinner was fully discussed, as owing to the ever-nsmg costs, and this year the added burden of Selective Employment Tax, the cost of this very necessary and enjoyable function was higher than had been anticipated, but even so, owing to the state of the Club's finances it was decided that it could not be subsidised but must be self-supporting, which could so easily be attained if even fifty more members and their friends attended. It was decided that Committee Members should send out letters to at least six of their friends and contemporaries to obtain additional support this year.

The Headmaster reported that the Building Appeal had reached £40,000, and that he was considering altering the format of the Magazine but to assist him and advise on Old Boy matters he required a sub-committee which was appointed.

The meeting ended at 20.45 hours. R.G.D.V.

SCHOOL BALL

The Building Appeal Social Committee has arranged to hold a Ball in the Great Hall on December 16th, 1966.

Those who were fortunate enough to attend the last similar function in 1964 will recall its outstanding success and the demand for tickets on this occasion is likely to be heavy.

Applications for tickets (35/- each, including supper and limited to four per applicant), accompanied by a remittance should therefore be made without delay to the Chairman, Ball Committee, Alleyn's School, Dulwich, S.E.22. Tables in the Hall itself will be allocated in strict rotation.

The Committee would be grateful for prizes for the Tombola which will be in progress throughout the evening. These, too, should be sent to the Chairman.

CRICKET CLUB

SATURDAY 1ST XI REPORT, 1966

Played 20. Won 5. Lost 8. Drawn 7.

A.C.B.

Not a great season as the results show, but one without a lot of luck and promise of greater things to come. Having morally beaten both Addiscombe and the Old Whitgiftians, who are generally accepted as being the strongest club sides in the South of England, we can surely be satisfied with this season's efforts. As far as the run-scorers and bowlers are concerned, the averages detailed below speak for themselves.


This season marks the end of an era with the retirement of Ewan MacCormick the last pre-war player still playing 1st XI Cricket. Hundreds of runs hav~ flowed from his bat with devastating effect upon many good bowlers who, at times, found. him .almost impos~ible ~o bowl to. Eyeryo.ne who has played in the same side will regret Mac s retirement and wish him well and trust that he continues his keen interest in the Club.

Finally, mention must be made of the help giv~n to the vario!ls sides by members of the school teams which has proved mvaluable. It IS. t.o. be hoped that their interest will continue when they leave school, by Jommg their many new friends at Burbage Road.

SATURDAY 2ND XI For the second consecutive year the side did not realise its full

potential and a rather disappointing season was experienced. For' once the depth of batting, which has been a feat!lre for so long,

was not so obvious although there were few changes In the team as compared to recent ~ears. Only S . F. Jones, N. F . Wright, ~. Hennessy and until his promotion to the 1st K. Rodwell scored consistently and were responsible for the vast majority of the. runs; I? the fi~al averages S. F. Jones was well out in front, not only In thiS Side, but In all Club averages. . .

The drop in the standard of bovylIng was, howev:r, the malO reason for the somewhat ordinary results achieved. C. Bull-Diamond bowled very steadily and was always difficult to score off, but ger;erally there was a lack of penetration in the opening overs and another qUIcker bowle.r to. support Bull-Diamond would have been most welcome and made a big difference. C. Marshall and H . Brunt were again the principal wicket-takers although Marshall did not take his usual quota . Brunt bowled extremely .well at times and, when on form, his quickly turning leg-breaks were lIkely to prove too much for most 2nd XIs. . ,

The ground fielding was adequate, but too many not too difficult skiers were dropped. . C W 'll '

During the School Holidays E. Ayling, G. DennIs and ' . I !ams were most welcome additions and all made extremely useful contrIbutIOns. We all hope the Club will see them again in future seasons.


SATURDAY 3RD XI

The 3rd XI once again enjoyed a very successful season, winning five matches, drawing four and losing only one. Two matches were abandoned through rain and two were cancelled. It was a little unfortunate that the fixture list was sparse but this was beyond the Club's control and an improvement is guaranteed for next season. Old Whitgiftians were substantially beaten and close wins were recorded against Old Purleians, Johnson Matthey and Old Salesians. Only once did the side have to force a draw, against Borough Polytechnic, and the one defeat came against Ibis, where we had to field a very depleted side through holidays. Brian Hammond scored an unbeaten 112 against Old Whitgiftians and Stan Smart amassed 102 against Forest Hill. The best bowling performance was Derek Bums's 8-16 in 15 overs against Old Whitgiftians.

The brunt of the batting was again borne by Stan Smart, Robin Hope and Chris Shirtcliffe. Paul Yarranton improved considerably over the previous season and also kept wicket extremely well throughout. Ken Owles John Knight and Bob Roberts bowled most of the overs ably assisted by Bob Purdey. Add to this Dave Rowlands, Dave Sawyer and Brian Hall, and this shows the all-round strength of the side, which should do even better next year.

SUNDAY 1ST XI Played 19. Won 7. Drawn 4. Lost 2. Abandoned 6. But for the intervention of inclement weather which caused five of the

last eight games to be abandoned, the season promised to produce the best results for some years. It was a well-balanced team; eight players scored one or more half centuries and the majority of wickets were shared among seven bowlers. The fielding, too, with the exception of one match, reached a very high standard, with Wright and Grant outstanding in the covers.

Some very enjoyable matches were played, in particular those against Carnegie, Herne Hill Wanderers and Old Hamptonians. In the first two of these games a disastrous start was reprieved by stem middle and lower order batting which resulted in a victory by eight runs against Carnegie and in Herne Hill's last man having to play out the final over to save a game in which at one stage AlIeyn's had been 9-4. It was the match against Old Hamptonians, however, which produced the most exciting finish; having allowed Hamptonians to score 224-~ through some. very ~different fielding all the batsmen supported the magnificently aggressive Wnght as he scored 136 in 105 minutes (his second 100 in eight days) and we won the game with five wickets and five minutes to spare.

It has been so encouraging this year to be able to include so many younger members. In particular Bull-Diamond and Dunley, who performed especially well in their first full season with. the Club, and the schooll;>oysAyling, Dennis, D. Hope, Bateman, C. Smith, Ware-Lane and P. WIlhams -who will provide the nucleus of a fine side for years to come. The School also provided our officials-the Hilliard brothers, Robert and David, whose umpiring and scoring was the ultimate in efficiency.

The following played regularly: J. Rice, J. Dell, E. Ayling, T. Bamford, P. Bateman, C. Bull-Diamond, J. Davis, G . Dennis, R. Dun~ey, R. Grant, D. Herdson, D. Hope, C. Marshall, K. Rodwell, C. Smith, B. Ware-Lane, R. Whitten, P . Williams and P. Wright.

The future of the Sunday 2nd XI was very much in doubt at the beginning of the season because of lac~ of players but this proble~ was overcome and the side ably led by Robm Mason took the field on thirteen occasions. Of these three were won, three drawn, one abandoned and six lost.

The batting in the main was rather brittle, almost half the runs coming from the blades of Messrs. Smart, R. .Hope an~ Hen~essey . !Sen Owles and John Knight formed a useful open1Og bowl1Og pair, collect1Og 17 wickets each, and were ably supported by Bob Ro.berts. and Bob Purde~. Robin Hope bowled well throughout the season with httle success until the final match.

On the whole the season was reasonably successful on the field and extremely successful off the field, which augurs well for the futu.re.

Cricket nets will be held at the Crystal Palace RecreatIOn Centre during the winter months. If any member .is intereste~ in attending these regularly will they please contact John Davls at MUNICipal 2455.

1966 TOUR

Having forsaken Christchurch, our H.Q. for the past thre~ years, the touring party descended upon Langton Matravers and the ancient charms of the King's Arms, a few miles outside Swanage, to commence the most successful tour to date. Despite the weather, .four games were complet~d . Torrential rain ruled out any hope of play m the Tuesday fixture with Weymouth. . .. . .

Pat Badmin made hiS very welcome pIlgrimage aga10 and proved hiS tremendous all-round ability. Eric Marsh, who recently joined the school staff, was also in the party, which was made up by the following: R. Dun~ey, E. MacCormick, J. Dell, P . Wrig~t, D. Herdson, P. W3;tts, J. Rice, C. Bull-Diamond, R. Cockell, R. Whltten, R. Grant, P. Badm1O, E. Marsh, R. H ope and J. Davis.

MONDAY, v. WIMBORNE. Lost. Wimborne 115 for 9; A.O .B. 95. This game was only saved from the rain by the strenuous efforts of

the Wimborne side with their vast mopping up operations. After many delays and 40 overs Wimborne declared at 115-9, leaving the Club exactly one hour's batting. The game was lost in the last over when ~e score had reached 94, thanks to a sparkling innings of 45 made m 20 minutes by MacCormick.

EDWARD ALLEYN MAG ZINE 501

WEDNESDAY, V. BOURNEMOUTH. Won. Bournemouth 85; A.O.B. 88 for 8.

Bournemouth's small total was due mainlv to Dunley and Marsh, who took 4-25 and 3-8 respectively. The Club struggled to 65-8. but Davis and Badmin with resolute batting took control and made sure of victory.

Once again we were delighted to see our staunch supporter E . W. Cave who was obviously proud of the side's success. How nice it is to have such a loyal friend, long may he continue to enjoy good health and give us his support at Bournemouth.

THURSDAY, v. OLD TAUNTONIANS. Won. O.Ts. 23; A.O.B. 27 for 1. This fixture, always the strongest of the week, will be known in future

Rice's match. By superb bowling he shot out the opposition and produced the magnificent figures of 8-2. It is only fair to add that this was backed up by a remarkably high standard of catching, even for Davis and Badmin. The match having been won by 3.15 p.m. the Club then proceeded to thrash a demoralised opposition in an 18 overs game.

FRIDAY, v. SWANAGE. Won. A.O.B. 141 for 9; Swanage 68 . The Club rather struggled to 141-9. P. Wright made 41, MacCormick

16, and Rice and Dell added an undefeated 23 at the end. P. Watts made a one-match appearance and made short work of Swanage. He took 6-23 and was backed up by Rice, who took 4-41.

Our most grateful thanks are due to John Davis for his admirable organisation of the tour.

FOOTBALL CLUB At the start of last season we reported that it would not be possible to

field a sixth eleven owing to losing several players. However, for 1966/ 67 several new players have joined us and we have six sides out on the first Saturday of the season. We are very pleased to welcome new members who have just left school and we wish them an enjoyable season.

Our hopes for this season are high. The first eleven, again captained by Andre Cutress, now have a season's experience of first division football under their belts and we hope they will finish the season near the topand surely it is time we won the Old Boys' Cup again. The second eleven under John Knight' s new leadership could help the first eleven enormously by going straight up into the first division of their section.

Our new members should help the third to stay in division one and, we hope, the fourth eleven to bounce straight back to division two. The fifth eleven in its second season of league football should be able to field a more regular team if, as we hope, the sixth eleven plays regularly.

We still need to increase our membership and anyone who wishes to join should contact Brian Humber, whose address is 100 The Woodlands, Beulah Hill, London, S .E .19; telephone WEL 1163 (Office) or L1V 3269 (Home).

Finally, may we thank our regular supporters for their vocal encouragement and hope they will be on the touchlines again this season-why not join them? We will specially welcome Davyd Phillips, last year's Chairman of the Club at any of our matches. Davyd felt he needed a rest and retired from office after a run of six years. Prior to that he had been a playing member, Match Secretary and a regular committee member. We thank him for all the time he has devoted to our Club and hope others will follow his excellent example.

September, 1966. CORRESPONDENCE

Sir, I was very interested indeed to read the excellent appreciation in the

last issue of the magazine in respect of Reg Hill, this many years with the Athletic Club.

I was closely associated with Reg and the running of the Club in the years before the war and have a host of pleasant memories of that timeparticularly with him in his capacity as skipper of the A.O.B. 3rd XI cricket team. If any of the old brigade (e.g., Jimmy Bowthorpe, Johnnie Read or Hugh Johnson) read this letter they will know exactly what I mean by the wonderful team spirit which existed under Reg's leadership on and off the field.

As one of the pre-war Club members, I would like to take this opportunity of adding my tribute and expressing keen appreciation of Reg Hill's great contribution to the Athletic Club and its welfare in every respect for such a long time.

The Editor, Edward Alleyn Magazine. Dear Editor,

Yours, etc., STANLEY W. CANE.

525 Great West Road, Hounslow,

Middlesex. August 19th, 1966.

I was sorry to see that yet another Old Boy, R. G. Berchem, had passed away. He must have been the eldest of three brothers and he does not appear in a photograph of Cribb's House taken on July 28th, 1915. The two younger brothers are there and other family pairs are Stanley and Norman Keeble, the Trickey brothers (L.W. has died as reported by you), and the Jones brothers; I think Leslie was lost at sea during the first world war. Unpaired in the picture are Hodgkinson, Max Prodger, R. J . Fitter, Reg Barham and myself, our brothers already having left school.

I can name about half the boys in the picture; the prefects were Fitter, Macpherson and Minister. The boys all look very young and the position was the same in the other houses-nearly all the young men of military age (and some much younger) had gone straight from school into the army and the casualty list was growing. How many of the boys in that 1915 picture are members of the Old Boys' Club, I wonder, and how many ever visit school?

Having started this letter, memories are crowding in. A few years ago you published a letter from Pellatt. I remember, he and I were members of a Cadet corps after leaving school and sometimes we called on his father, who worked in St. James's Square and was an officer in another corps. The R.S.M. in the corps (7th London) was Arthur Rigby (A.O.B.), member of a theatrical family and who became well known as Sergeant Flint of Dock Green. Not long ago I saw an article on yachting by Boden Shales; was this our old friend B. E . Shales? One could go on endlessly


like this and it is very pleasant to recall what has been termed " The Happiest Days of Your Life "-but, gracious me, that was over 50 years ago!

Sir,

Yours sincerely,

DENNIS PATERSON.

There must be many Old Boys who feel that it would be fitting to perpetuate the name of "George" Hudson at the School to which he gave such devoted service over a long period. '

~ number of Old ~oys of widely differing ages have expressed a wish to associate themselves With . a Hudson Memorial Prize, the form of which could perhaps. best be deCided by the Committee of the Alleyn's Old Boys' Club ill the lIght of the sum available, after consultation with the Headmaster and Mrs. Hudson.

. I wo~ld therefore ask any Old Boy who would like to participate in thiS to wnt~ to the Hon. Treasurer of the Old Boys' Club, J. W. Somerville 1 F rank Dlxon Way, Dulwich, S.E.2I. '

Yours faithfully, R. W. HILL.

Whose hat? Does it belong to

a pilot? a navigator? an engineer? a logistics expert? a personnel manager? a ground defence commander?

an air traffic controller? a teacher? or someone else?

The fact is, a lot of people just don't realise how many different careers there are in the R.A.F. today-m how many different ways there are of starting. This is a pity-because in this age of Global Air Mobile Defence, with swing-wing aircraft, vertical takeoff and all the rest, the opportunities are far too good to be missed. If you are interested in becoming an R.A.F. officer, ask your Careers Master for some leaflets-or get him to arrange for you to meet your R.A.F.

Schools Liaison Officer for an informal chat. Or, if you prefer, write to Group Captain M. A. D'Arcy, R.A.F., Adastral House,(zsFMr),London,W.C.I.Please give your age and say what qualifications you have or are studying for, and what kind of work in the R.A.F. most interests you.

What you need A good G.C.E.-preferably with 'A' levels. Then you would probably qualify (a) for 'study leave' to prepare for the Institute of Bankers Examinations, and (b) for the Special Grade, which means an increase of £200 a year.

Like to know more? We can easily arrange for you to meet one of our people at a centre near your home. If you would like us to fix this up, write to the Staff Manager at Midland Bank, Head Office, Poultry, London EC2

and some are younger In 1948, at the age of16, David Barber started as a Junior at a small branch of his home town, Sheffield. He left at 18 to do his National Service stint. On rejoining the Midland in 1952, he worked atone of the main Sheffield branches, and three years there gave him wide general banking experience. A spell in Bradford followed . After that,an appointment to Pudsey. Then from 1962 to 1964 he was at Head Office in London, working with the branch Superintendent responsible for a part of the North-Eastern Region.

Since early 1964, David Barber has been Assistant Manager at a large and busy branch in York. It's a job carrying full managerial responsibility (and salary).

And he's still only 33.

So you can see that ability and ambition can bring early rewards in the Midland. About 50% of presentday entrants will reach managerial rank. And it's possible to do this in your early 30's, earning at least £2,100, rising to £5,000 and more. There's nothing to stop you from getting to the very top jobswhere the salaries will satisfy the most ambitious of men!

~--------------, I Right now you're just I I another schoolboy. I I Next year you could I I be 'somebody' I I I I I I Start thinking now-about a career I I at the Westminster. I

I At this stage in your life you're seriously thinking of your I future but you're not sure what it will be. There are dozens

I and dozens of jobs open to you. Not all of them amount to I careers. The Westminster offers a whole range of careers

I that are careers. And that goes far beyond counting money I and book-keeping-nowadays we get computers to do most

I of that for us. I It's merit that counts

I You can earn £370* p.a. at 17 with 5 '0' levels. £550* at 19 I I with 2 'A' levels. At Branch Manager level £2,100 p.a., at I

least. And we train you-to the very highest professional

I level. Fringe benefits? We like our staff to be property I owners-so we'll help you to buy your own home. (And I that's important, as you'll learn.) I

I *Plus £150 in Inner London. £80 in Outer London. £30 in I large provincial cities.

I What to do about it I When you're ready, either ring up the Manager of your local I Westminster Branch and have a chat to him, or fill in the I

I form below and post it off. It brings you a leaflet telling you I more about careers at the Westminster.

• A Career in the Bank Never before have opportunities for young people been as

promising as they are today in Barclays Bank. Here is a brief outline of the career that awaits you there.

The Bank wants young men of character and integrity, with a good standard of general education. Given these qualifications and an aptitude for the job, there is no reason why you should not find yourself a Branch Manager in your thirties, with a salary upwards of £2,100, and the chance of doubling your pay by the time you are 50. Looking ahead, you could be one of those Managers whose salary exceeds £5,000 a year-a man. with a big job, full of interest and responsibility. A goal worth striving for; and those who reach it will have a pension at 65 (without any contributions on their part) of £3,000 a year or more. For the early years there's a minimum salary scale for satisfactory work: £360 at 16 to £1,085 at 31 with a year's seniority for a good Advanced Level certificate and three years' for a degree, plus certain allowances if you work in large towns (£150 a year for employment in Central London). From 21 onwards merit can take the salary well above these figures; if the early promise is maintained, the salary at 28 can be £1,280, instead of the scale figure of £955.

For further particulars write to the Staff Managers at 54 Lombard Street, London EC3.

Barclays Bank Money is our business

A career as a CHARTERED

ACCOUNTANT offers:

OPPORTUNITY: On qualification you can expect a starting salary of between £1,400 and £1,500 a year in the London area (commencing salaries will normally be less in the provinces). Opportunities are open to you in practice, in industry and commerce, education or a variety of other walks of life. It takes three, four or five years to qualify as a chartered aCCOlll1tant, depending on the level of education you have reached. This, your age and the district in which you work will govern your salary during training.

VARIETY: Accountancy is not a dull or monotonous profession. Many problems, each requiring a different solution, occur every day and it is often necessary for the chartered accountant and his articled clerks to travel extensively, sometimes abroad.

SECURITY: Chartered accountants are always in demand. They can be sure of employment and opportunities for advancement whatever the political situation or the state of the business economy.

The booklet" Why not become a Chartered Accountant?" and "See a Chartered Accountant" issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, tell you (and your father) more. Why not send for copies?
