i w 11 Message

(MR. C. L. HALL)

To ALL OLD BOYS : I appreciate this opportunity of conveying a personal greeting to all members of the Old Stocktonians' Association. It was a great pleasure and a privilege to meet this year's President when he was invested with his Presidential badge of office. I was most grateful for the cordial reception I received from the members of the Committee whose interest and enthusiasm mean so much to us all. Such close and personal relation• ships between the School and its old members of staff and old pupils are the healthiest signs of a proud tradition. Service within a School and to a School indicate not only high endeavour but the value of community life within and without.

One is conscious of the impressive record in the fields of Scholarship and Industry at home and overseas and this Year Book comes to all "sojourners" with the good wishes from the Old School. News from you will be welcome and appreciated.

No doubt much may have been written of our new buildings and playing fields. These were long discussed and of long fruition ; we rejoice that from both the Nelson Terrace and the Grangefield Schools there are many men proud of a cherished heritage. Today, as I write, I received an engraved Visitors' Book for signatures of Old Stocktonians. Three eminent entries with personal good wishes are inscribed. The invitation is obvious!

We offer a welcome to you to visit us. This will not only encourage a new headmaster but strengthen the ties between Old Stocktonians and the School, and also maintain and deepen the goodwill which flourishes. As a School we are deeply interested in our old pupils and one of the tests of a first class school is the vitality of its Old Students' Association.

The activities and aims of our Association are worthy of the highest praise and the success is due to strong loyalties, affectionate relation• ships and keen enthusiasms. I shall regard it as a great privilege to share in the ideals and activities of the Association, and I trust will be able to assist in fostering the relationships which are so manifest. In its strength will be my joys. When we meet personally our introductions will have been made and we shall meet with lx>nds already established. Sincere wishes to you all.

2 A Message from the Old Boy President

(MR. E. H. FIEKE)

As YOUR President for the year 1953 I would like, on your behalf, to welcome all "new" Old Stocktonians ; our new Headmaster, new Staff, boys with their school days just behind them, members re-joined after a temporary lapse, and the odd one or two who were at THE SCHOOL (under its various names) but who have only recently discovered that there is an Old Stocktonians' Association.

Our Association membership is roughly 1,000 but, I regret to say, it largely consists of a list of names. Are you aware that the Annual Cricket Match (O.B's v. School) had to be "scratched" because the O.B's could not find even ELEVEN members interested enough to volun• teer for the team ? Surely we can do better than this—surely we can raise a cricket team, football teams (both codes), tennis teams, badmin• ton teams, etc., not only for playing the School but for other regular fixtures too. Of course we can !

Look around you and you will see other O.B. Associations fielding regular and successful sports teams, running well supported Annual Dances, with "get together" activities such as Debating and Dramatic Societies, etc., etc. If others can do it, so can we—and better!

Many of you may have interests which you may have developed during your school days and which you would like to continue or extend. Facilities exist now which were undreamed of in the " Nelson Terrace" days. Avail yourself of them and help to make the Association healthy and active. The Headmaster, Staff and your Committee will give you all the support you need so do write, or 'phone, the Hon. Sec. (or any Committee member) with your suggestions and offers of active participation. IT is UP TO YOU !

3 Greetings Again

To ALL OLD BOYS AT HOME AND ABROAD

SINCE THE publication of our last Year Book quite a number of changes have taken place within the Association .... Mr, E. H. Fieke. our Old Boy President, succeeded Mr. G. D. Little in this capacity after the latter's strenuous three years of Office. Ernest Fieke (perhaps better known as "Harpin" to his classmates of the 1923-28 period) served on the Old Boys' Committee for several years until his departure from Tees-side in 1935. The adage .... "absence makes the heart grow fonder" certainly proved to be true, for, upon returning to this area about three years ago, his re-appearance on the Committee was soon to follow. A "youthful"' Old Boy, with a forceful personality, Mr. Fieke has already accomplished much unseen work in the difficult task of tracing "lost" Stocktonians and bringing them back into "harness." Mr. G. D. Little, our former President, and one of the stalwarts of the Association has taken on the onerous duties of Hon. Treasurer, which office became vacant with the passing of Henry Nicholson, in 1952- Being " Keeper of the Purse strings" is a thankless task and we are thus extremely fortunate in having one so able and conscientious as George Little to keep an eye on our finances—limited though they may be. It was inevitable that one day we would be confronted with the news of the retirement of Mr. T. B. Brooke from the School, but it was difficult to realise the loss sustained by the Old Stocktonians when this was verified last year. After almost thirty years loyal service with the Association, our esteemed friend has announced his decision to retire from the office of Secretary. Fortunately, we are pleased to state that Mr. Brooke still retains an official connection with us, as Vice-President, and that we are assured of his counsel, guidance and continued interest in our future undertakings. Mr. H. Denis Hardie is now undertaking the Secretarial duties with the welcome assistance of Mr. W. H. Munday as a liaison between the School and the Association.

PRESENTATIONS TO DR. J. R. KINNES & MR. S. DUMBLE ON FRIDAY evening, 12th June, 1953, in the Dining Hall of the Grange- field School, many Old Stocktonians witnessed the presentations to Dr. Kinnes and Mr. Dumble on the occasion of their retirement after 24 and 42 years, respectively, at the School. The Old Boy President, Mr. E. H. Fieke, introduced Mr. J. Wilkinson (Past President) and Mr. E. Baldwin (Founder President) who made presentations to Dr. and Mrs. Kinnes and Mr. and Mrs. Dumble. The daughters of our President and Treasurer presented bouquets to Mesdames Kinnes and Dumble.

1 CORONATION DANCE — 12th JUNE, 1953 IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING the presentations, a Dance, jointly organised with the Former Students' Association of the Girls' School, took place in the Dining Hall. Music was provided by Jimmy Gardner and his Orchestra, and light refreshments were partaken of during the evening. Dancing continued until 11 p.m. and so a most enjoyable evening terminated. Attendance at this function was not quite up to expectation, but, in spite of this, there was no deficit recorded. Our thanks are due to Miss S. Gladders and her Committee for their co-operation on this occasion.

A WHIST AND BRIDGE DRIVE WAS HELD in the School on Thursday, 21st February, 1953, and a highly successful evening was enjoyed by Old Stocktonians with their wives and friends. Once again, our thanks to Mr. Little for his efforts (Mrs. Little, too !) in organising this event which also proved to be profitable financially.

OLD STOCKTON I AN TIE FOLLOWING A notice in our Spring Bulletin proposing to bring about a revival of the Association Tie (black background, diagonal stripes of green and pale blue with a gold intermediate line) a good response was received from intending purchasers. Those who have already made application to the Hon. Sec. should now make a remittance (9/- post paid) without delay. A tie will be sent upon receipt of this amount and should be in possession of the individual during November. Late applicants for Ties are advised to contact the suppliers direct. (Messrs. Blackett and Son Ltd., High Street, Stockton-on-Tees.)

PRESIDENTS BADGE DURING THE year, the Old Boys' Committee discussed the subject of providing a Chain of Office for wearing by the President on official occasions. It was agreed to go ahead with the project, and we now have in our possession a President's Badge. This consists of a solid silver gilt and enamelled pendant inscribed, " PRESIDENT, OLD STOCKTONIANS' ASSOCIATION " around its Outer edges. The whole is inset with a hand painted enamelled centrepiece depicting the School Badge and Motto, and suspended by a blue corded ribbon collarette. The investiture of the Old Boy President took place at a Committee Meeting held on Tuesday, 22nd September, 1953 and Mr. Baldwin (Founder President) officiated.

VISITORS' BOOK THIS HAS been placed in the Entrance Hall of the Boys' School and is available for use by Old Stocktonians on their visits. Any news of general interest, past or present activities, business or professional successes relating to members will be greatly appreciated and should be recorded therein. It is felt that our Visitors Book will be instrumental in providing information to the Editorial Board for inclusion in the Year Book.

5 CRICKET : OLD BOYS v. THE SCHOOL IT HAD been hoped to arrange the Cricket Match in July, but unfortun• ately owing to lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Old Boys, this was not possible. Perhaps we may meet with success next summer and introduce this annual event once again. Enthusiasts are invited to make their abilities at the wicket known to the Hon Secretary or to any Member of the Committee.

WORKS VISITS AT THE time of going to press, the first of our visits to local industry has not yet taken place. Arrangements arc proceeding for visits to a chemical industry, printing works and a local trading estate. Owing to the expense involved it is regretted that notices cannot be distributed to all Old Boys concerning our programme in this direction, but we have a mailing list of more than 40 who have expressed a desire for notification of final arrangements. Those desirous of being included should contact the Secretary.

TWENTY SEVENTH ANNUAL DINNER THE 1952 DINNER was held in Spark's Cafe on Thursday, nth December. Once again Mr. John Spark proved a generous host indeed, and added yet another to the many kindnesses for which we have been indebted to him for so many years. Once again we mustered over 80 Old Boys, a heartening contrast to the companies of 40 averaged in between-wars days. Once again quite a quarter of our number consisted of younger Old Boys, whose youthful verve contributed in no small measure to the pleasure of the evening. The older hands, of course, were well rep• resented, many of them stalwarts over many years. It was a delight to welcome back one like J. T. Purvis whom we had not seen for a lifetime and who made attendance at the Dinner, one of the first duties and pleasures after returning to a life of retirement in the Old Country after 40 years abroad. By contrast we must mention Peter Robinson who left us only three years ago and in the meanwhile must have travelled over most of the world. Our guest on this occasion was a distinguished Old Boy of pre first war days. Dr. Horace King, M.P. for Southampton (Test) who gave us a delightful speech and brought back to our minds lively, vivid pictures of days many of us love to ruminate over. To his toast of the Old School, Dr. Kinnes replied with his usual quiet charm and gentle humour, and made touching reference to the fact that the School was on the point of saying farewell to two of the older members of the Staff. The President, Mr. E. H. Fieke, made a presentation to Mr. E. Baldwin, O.B.E., founder of the Association to commemorate the fiftieth year of his connection with the School and the Association, referring in warm terms to the unique nature of the occasion, and to the immeas• urable, keen and selfdenying service Mr. Baldwin had rendered to the School, the Association and the interests of Old Stocktonians individ• ually over a hazardous half century. Mr. Baldwin voiced his thanks to Mr. Fieke and the Association in a speech in which kindly humour and reverence for the finer memories of a wonderful half century of exper• ience were delicately blended. To the Reverend F. H. Britton, Vicar of Eighton Banks, fell the duty of making the Association Presentation to Mr. L. W. Rhys on his retire• ment after 33 years service to the School. He paid warm tribute to

6 Mr. Rhys's keen sense of duty and tactful power of encouraging all his pupils, irrespective of their natural ability, and his love of seeking to give confidence to those who, average rather than brilliant, might tend to lose heart. Mr. Rhys, who was very deeply moved by the occasion, replied with considerable feeling. The toast of the Association was moved by Mr. T. B. Brooke. Eleven o'clock came too soon, to bring a memorable evening to what seemed a hasty conclusion.

BADMINTON FACILITIES FOR Badminton are available at the School Gymnasium for bona fide members of the Association The formation of a Badminton Section will be encouraged by your Committee, and those interested should aquaint the Officials of their proposals.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING WAS HELD in the School on Friday, 5th December, 1952 and was attended by 20 Old Boys. The main business of the meeting was the adoption of revised Rules of Association. These are printed fully later in this issue of the Year Book.

GESTURE MANY OLD STOCKTONIANS may wonder why, among the presentations which have lately been made to various members of the Staff, no men• tion is made of one to Mr. Brooke. The fact is that Mr. Brooke refused to accept a present and argued that for any services which he had ren• dered, he had received a salary. We protested and expostulated with him, at one time we almost felt like wringing his neck. But, no ! he remained adamant, he even became violent. Finally, we beguiled him, along with his sister, to Mr. Fieke's private house, and there the President and his wife, assisted by ex Pres• idents Wilkinson and Little and their wives, took the opportunity of making a small presentation to them both. At a later date, Mr. Brooke intimated that he would like £io of his presentation money to go towards the provision of a President's Badge.

STAFF CHANGES THE NEW Headmaster—and our new ex-officio President—is Mr. C. L. HALL, B.Sc. (Lond.) with Honours in both Geography and Economics. He has taught at schools as wide apart as South Shields and Huntingdon and comes to us from a head mastership at Chesterfield. In addition, he has been a Senior Lecturer at Peterborough Training College, Divisional Education Officer, Scunthorpe, and chief examiner for various examin• ation boards. During the war he served as a Flying Officer in the R.A.F.V.R. We may count ourselves fortunate in obtaining a headmaster so widely experienced. He has already shown himself desirous of fully understanding the problems of the School and of advancing its interests, and those of its pupils, in well-balanced education. In welcoming him to our Association, we hope that he will find many years of happy association and success in the School, and assure him of the loyalty and friendship of Old Stocktonians near and far.

7 Mr. T. DENNIS joined the Start in 1948 upon the retirement of Mr. Bremner. He quickly gained and continued to retain the liking and respect of both masters and boys. When we moved to the new buildings he proceeded to develop a scheme that he had long had at heart. This was the now flourishing Junior Forum. He felt—and proved—that in such societies as then existed there was insufficient scope for the various talents of the boys of the lower forms. The continuing success and growth of the club was largely due to Mr. Dennis's gift for finding jobs for boys and the boys for the jobs and for enlisting the ready assistance of his colleagues. He was also keen on developing the use of visual aids in the work of the School and was always ready to help his less technic• ally-minded colleagues. There can be few masters who in a compara• tively short stay have done as much for the School. With our warmest good wishes he leaves for Quarry Bank High School, Liverpool.

Other new-comers to the Staff at the beginning of this term are Mr. D. Ambrose, who comes from Loughborough College to assist with Handi• craft and Physical Training, and Mr. A. White, B.Sc., who gained Honours in General Science at Bristol and comes from Sheffield to succeed Mr. Dennis. To them also we extend a warm welcome.

As is pointed out elsewhere in this issue, in the course of our first two years at Grangefield we have parted with six of the Staff we knew for years at Nelson Terrace. Mr. GAVIN KAY, L.R.A.M., remained with us only long enough to see us settled in our new quarters and to remain with us for the 17 school days of July 1951 that remained to complete the Academic Session. As was pointed out in the Stocktonian of 1951, Mr. Kay found it impossible to abandon his many other professional duties in order to remain with us as a full time member of the Staff and with great regret we had to lose the services and inspiring comradeship of one whom we had learned to admire in the course of his 30 years earnest service.

In July, 1952, Mr. R. F. LAVERICK, M.A. left us, much to our regret, in order to take up business life in Middlesbrough. A native of Toft Hill, Mr. Laverick was a County Durham man and a former pupil of the Grammar School of King James the First, at Bishop Auckland. He graduated subsequently at the University of Edinburgh, and came to us in the Autumn of 1924 after a variety of experience in the County, and Military Service in the First Great War. During his early years at S.S.S. he was a member of the English Staff, but as time went on his mathematical talents and enthusiasm claimed him for the department with which he is identified in the minds of the majority of Old Stock• tonians, until finally, on the retirement of Mr. W. R. Ball, he succeeded to the post of Senior Master on the mathematical side. Mr. Laverick will be much missed. His quiet modesty was combined with a charming sense of humour and a critical wit, which though never acid or unkind could find telling expression on the rare occasions on which its service seemed called for. Mr. Lavcrick was one of the happy few who could effectively secure the co-operation of his pupils with quiet means. He sought no lime-light and he needed none, awakening respect and affection by naturalness entirely devoid of attitude or pose.

In December 1952 we said farewell to Mr. L. W. RHYS, B.A. Though a native of the Principality and a true son of Wales, Mr. Rhys was not born within its borders, but in far off Patagonia where his father was minister to a famous " Welsh Colony ", familiar to those who have read anything of the story of the Argentine Republic. Mr. Rhys was indeed a far travelled man. He graduated at the University of Wales

8 (University College, Aberystwyth) and had varied experience in schools in Swansea, the Midlands (Kidderminster), and County Durham. After Military Service in the First Great War, he joined the Staff of what is now the Grammar School, West Stanley from whence he came to us in September 1919. During his 33 years service at Stockton, Mr. Rhys has earned universal respect and affection for his fearless champ• ionship of causes and ideals he considered right, for his belief in hard work as the finest of tonics, and as one who has always preferred to teach by example rather than precept. For years he worked with com• mendable success on the English and Mathematical sides, but the War brought its changes and he was called upon to devote some of his time to the teaching of Chemistry. This he did with such emphatic success that for some years he was entirely occupied academically with the teaching of this subject with such impressive results in public examinations as must have been a source of great pride to his pupils and satisfaction to himself.

At the end of Summer term Mr. S. DUMBLE also retired after a period of no less than 42 years service to the School. A Cumberland man by birth Mr. Dumble was educated at Keswick School, a fact of which he was always very proud, and to which can be attributed his tremendous keenness for rugger, and his deep knowledge of a game he regarded as ideal for Schools and Schoolboys. .From Keswick Mr. Dumble proceeded to Bede College, Durham University for training as a teacher, going from there to St. Mark's College, Chelsea, for a specialised higher course in Physical Training. He came to us in the autumn of 1911, and the Old Secondary School (now Grangefield Grammar) was his first and only post. During the Great War he served in the London Scottish and was so seriously wounded that for months he lay in hospital. At school we have always known him as the Master responsible for P.T. and Games, and it was a great experience to share his delight in the triumphs of the Rugger XV's of the great days of the 30's, the long round of successes we enjoyed in the struggles for the Weatherhead Cup, and the equally gratifying successes in the Inter-Schools Sports Meetings when on two of the five occasions on which a cup was the prize for the Champion School, it was the old Secondary School which carried it off. In School Mr. Dumble's activities were not limited to P.T. He also shared in the English and Mathematics teaching in the Junior Forms, and in recent years has become more identified with work in the Geographical department. He succeeded Mr. Nicholson as Second Master in 1946, and on him therefore fell a considerable share of the stress inevitable in the transfer from the Old to the New School, and the problems arising from increased numbers and new environment.

Mr. Dumble reached the age for retirement in May but was persuaded to carry on to the end of Summer term—a mark of the respect felt for him in official quarters. Generations of Old Boys join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dumble long years of happy freedom, and wish to express their thanks for wise guidance and happy memories. To few Schoolmasters is it granted to teach fathers and their sons. Mr. Dumble, we believe, has taught at least one member of a third generation.

It is with great regret that we have to announce that neither Mr. W. Baker nor Mr. A. Bremner is in as good health as we should like him to be. We send our warmest greetings and hope that tedium and anxiety will soon be banished for better and brighter things.

9 /. R. KINNES, Esq., M.A., Ph.D. Headmaster (1929-1953) DR. J. R. KINNES, who retired in July, 1953 had been our Headmaster for 24 years. In the course of that time he was called upon to cope with two major crises : the war and the move to the new buildings, and under his guidance the School passed successfully through both of these times of trial. The generations of Old Stocktonians who " received not the promise" will rejoice that after so many years of hope deferred it was Dr. Kinnes who at last led us into the long-promised land. Though he believed that the chief work of the School ought to be done in the classroom, he was always ready to foster the so-called "out- of-School activities." In particular he interested himself in the various musical groups and was ready to face up to the double bass when the orchestra required a player. He seldom missed any of the Friday after• noon short recitals arranged for many years by Mr. King and Mr. Brooke, and later developments under Mr. White always interested him deeply. He was a frequent visitor to the Debating Society and the prize he offered annually for the best speaker provoked some spirited competitions, from which only ill-health occasionally kept him. It was very seldom too that Mrs. Kinnes missed any such School occasion and when there was hard work for the ladies to do behind the scenes as on pre-war Sports Days, she was not content merely to grace the scene with her prescence. Dr. Kinnes is noted for his witty and felicitously phrased addresses, formal or informal, and those who heard him at many an Old Stockton- ian Dinner often envied the easy but impeccable style of his speeches. Of late years his health has not always been what we should have wished and, if he feels that the Stockton air and climate are now too much for him, we can only rejoice that he has successfully braved them so long and hope that further south he and Mrs. Kinnes may enjoy long and happy years with many a pleasant recollection of Stockton folk.

NEWS OF PAST AND PRESENT SCHOOL STAFF THE PARAGRAPH which follows is written at the request of a number of Old Stocktonians who were boys at the School in 1939, at which time great hopes were being entertained that at long last we should in a very short time be translated to the new School then apparently regarded as nearing completion. The Staff at that date (summer 1939) consisted of: The Headmaster, Dr. J. R. Kinnes (retired July 1953). The Second Master, Mr. W. Baker (retired March 1942). Messrs. H. Nicholson (retired July 1947) died 22nd August, 1952. C. W. King, died Easter Day, 21st April, 1946. S. Dumble (retired July 1953). A. Bremner (retired July 1948). L. W. Rhys (retired December, 1952). G. Kay (retired July 1951). F. Manners (retired July 1949). G. G. Armstrong, died 14th December, 1948. T. B. Brooke (retired December 1952). R. F. Laverick (retired July 1952). W. H. Munday. K. L. G. Hart, left us for Bristol, July 1948 ; subsequently taking an appointment at Poole, Dorset. H. Watson (retired December 1939). J. G. Rattenbury. S. V. Morris.

10 Messrs. J. E. Stone, took up an appointment under the Colonial Office on the Gold Coast, July iQ5°- E. H. Mann, Assistant Director of Education, Wolverhamp• ton, March 1945 now Assistant Director of Education, County Durham. From the above it will be seen that only nine of the nineteen masters named remained on the Staff at the time we started work in Grange- field, and at the present time, two years later, there are only three, Messrs. W. H. Munday, J. G. Rattenbury and S. V. Morris, six having retired during the first two years following our entry into the new School. We now offer our heartiest congratulations to Mr. W. H. Munday upon his recent appointment as Deputy Headmaster.

CONCERNING MR. BROOKE PROBABLY IN the whole of the history of the School, the leaving of no member of the Staff has caused such general regret among boys and Old Boys as that of Mr. Brooke who retired at the end of the Winter term. Some of the more privileged of us addressed him as "Brookie"or simply as "T.B.," but among the irreverent he was known as " Tibby," and it is as "Tibby " that, we think, he will always be remembered. As a boy, he attended the Stockton Secondary School between 1906 and 1910 (we recall that he. along with Harold Simpson, now an account• ant in Huddersfield, and Charlie Fraser, of whom we had no news for a very long time, were the three bright stars of one particular class), while he later spent one year as a teacher at Oxbridge Lane School, for the then Headmaster of which, Mr. Charles Funnell, he has always retained the warmest admiration. Then, as the first Stockton Secondary School boy ever to enter one of the older Universities, he became a student at Keble College, Oxford, from which he emerged as an M.A. with an Honours Degree in English Language and Literature, as a Fellow of the Institute of Lin• guists and as a Member of the Royal Society of Literature, this last named on the proposal of the late Sir Walter Raleigh. The First World War followed, in which joining as a Gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, he finished up in the Intelligence Corps with the right to carry a revolver. (Just imagine our " Tibby " prowling about the battlefields of France with a revolver—a man who many years afterwards bought a gun to destroy the rabbits which were raiding his garden at Thornaby and then hadn't the heart to shoot them because they were so pretty ! ) The War over, he became a teacher in turn at Christ Church Cathedral School, Oxford, at Ripon School, at Castleford Grammar School, for a few weeks at Richard Hind School, and then in May 1924, he returned, almost in triumph, to his old school in Nelson Terrace. The Second World War came and again he desired to play a part, but this the Education Authorities would not allow, and he, therefore, had to content himself with acting as Platoon Commander of the Local Defence Volunteers at Thornaby, where later with the rank of Captain he was second in command of the "C" Company of the 9th North Riding of Yorkshire Battalion. Such then is a brief description of Mr. Brooke's career. But what shall we say of his 28 years as a teacher in the School ? Here it can be truthfully said that no boy who entered his classes could fail to be enriched, for he possesed the supreme gift of imparting his own enthus• iasm for his subject to all those whom he taught. As a musician, he also excelled, and there are many Old Boys who all their lives will recall

11 with pleasure the musical evenings spent in his company. But of all his accomplishments what was probably most fascinating about him was his curious knowledge of all manner of odds and ends. There is, for instance, hardly a church or a building in the district, the history of which he does not know: there is hardly a field path over a very wide area with which he is not acquainted. To his immense work for the Old Stocktonians, it will never be possible to do justice, for, as Secretary of the Association and as Editor of The Stocktonian, he has brought a devotion which only such as he could bring. The late Ian Hay once said that teaching is the most richly rewarded of all the professions. In Mr. Brooke's case this is certainly true, for his broad humanity, his modesty, his sense of humour, his tolerance of outlook and his general loveliness of character have earned him a special place in the hearts of all who know him. OLD STOCKTONIANS' BENEVOLENT FUND THE BENEVOLENT FUND continues to do excellent work. During the past year, one Old Boy has applied to it for assistance, and a substantial loan, which will do much to further his career, has been made to him. At the moment, the amount standing to the credit of the Fund is £33i I9S. 9d. Old Boys are reminded of two things: (1) that every appeal to-the Fund is treated with the utmost discretion and is a matter for the consideration only of the four Trustees, all of whom are pledged to the utmost secrecy. It has never been possible, therefore, to make a report, except in the vaguest terms, on the really great work which the Fund has accomplished. (2) that the Fund has been built up largely by private subscriptions, and that to maintain its usefulness, more subscriptions are required. We therefore appeal to every Old Boy to ask himself the question, "Isn't this Fund, which may well be of great use to some of my old friends, well worth supporting ? " and to answer it by sending a donation to E. BALDWIN, 99 BISHOPTON ROAD W., FAIRFIELD, STOCKTON-ON-TEES. (Convenor of the Trustees) to whom all matters concerned with the Fund should be addressed. FINANCE WITHOUT FINANCE, commonly known as £ s. d. our Association could not survive. At the end of my first year as your treasurer, I am pleased to report a happy state of affairs due entirely to Old Stocktonians and their friends. As a result of the generosity of some very loyal Old Stocktonians, the War Memorial Fund was over subscribed, thus allowing the profits from a Bridge Drive run for this fund (when it was thought we would have a deficit) to come back to the General Fund. During the year no fewer than five special presentation appeals were made and a total of nearly £100 was subscribed. Maybe some of you put off until too late to send a subscription and wished that you had. Any who still feel they would like to do so, can still send, as the T. B Brooke Fund is still open. Through the generosity of Mr. L. W. Rhys the fund benefitted by some £8, part of his presentation fund, which he wished to give for our use. A Bridge Drive in October made £7.

1 z Life Subscriptions are now £i ios., an increase of 5/-. We invite those 25/- Life Members who feel they have had " Value for Money " to send us an extra 5/-. It is our hope during the next few years to build up the Life Members' Fund as much as possible. It is now £400, and will yield approximately £11 in interest. If we could raise this Fund to ^1000, the interest would be £27 ios. Transfer of this interest to the General Fund each year would eliminate a good deal of worry, so roll up and become Life Members ! Since last September we have had 23 new Life Members and one extra 5/-. Can we beat this before September 1954 ? One more financial matter. Part of Mr. Brooke's fund together with proceeds from the Bridge Drive has been allocated to the purchase of a President's Badge, which will bring us into line with the practice of other Associations in the district. The cost is nearly £25, and any sub• scriptions specially earmarked for this will enable us to build up our General Fund during 1954.

State Scholarships ALL OLD BOYS will rejoice that the last year of Dr. Kinncs's Head- mastership has been marked by the remarkable achievement of our comparatively small Sixth Form in gaining no less than three State Scholarships. These were awarded by the Ministry of Education to P. L. O'Neill, R. B. Ellis and B. McWilliam. C. W. KING MEMORIAL PRIZE FOUNDED BY Old Stocktonians to perpetuate the memory of C. W. King, M.A., Jesus College, Oxford, and London ; Assistant Master 1908- 1946, and Senior English Master for 23 years.

Bell.

SCHOOL GAMES AND ATHLETICS THERE HAS been no match played between the Old Stocktonians and the School during the School year 1952-53. One was arranged for the Rugby team at the end of the Easter term but it failed to take place because of the hardness in the ground after March drought. The Soccer match between School and Staff, usually the "one-act" preceding the major performance, had to become the chief item, and was won by the fomer 3-0. It is proposed in future that the Old Stocktonians' team in Rugby shall consist, if possible, of those who were members during the pre• ceding two seasons. To prevent the unfortunate disappointment of last year, it would be well if some representative could be appointed to organise the team and also keep in touch with the School as to the possibilities of play. In Cricket an older team is not so detrimental to a good game as in Rugby, more especially if it proves agreeable to both sides for members of the Staff to play for the School. This was always a pleasant fixture and we hope it will be revived. School games are showing the same characteristics as have been customary in recent years : the Juniors are very' bright but the Seniors are by no means happy in their results. Athletics are better and many of our former records have been lowered.

OUR PHOTOGRAPHS. The Grangefield Grammar School. IT HAS been found impossible to photograph the whole of the School buildings (Girls and Boys) from ground level. To those Old Boys who have not had the opportunity of seeing our new School we should briefly explain that the whole comprises in addition to the Boys' block shown, an identical block (but opposite hand) for the Girls, with between, a joint Dining-room, complete with the attendant kitchen, etc. The School is fronted with Sports Fields, and the site covers over 30 acres. OBITUARY ON 13TH NOVEMBER, we received a letter from J. R. FAWCETT who was then in hospital with a view to finding out whether he was a fit subject for an operation which would alleviate his high blood pressure. His letter was chatty-—even cheery— and his state of mind was indic• ated when he expressed the hope that he would soon be "on the table ". We now regret to announce that Mr. Fawcett died on 8th January, 1953. leaving a wife (Jean Macgregor a Stockton lady), a boy of nine and another boy of 16 whose success in the recent General Certificate of Education Examination at Coatham Grammar School would have filled his father with inordinate pride. Of Bob, as we used to call him, we have the happiest recollections. He was one of those boys who give character to a school, for he was just as good in class as lie was in the playing fields. When he left us he served his time as a draughtsman with Messrs. Ashmore, Benson, Pease & Co. Ltd., and, his apprenticeship ended, took up appointments in turn at Messrs. Edward Woods of Manchester, at Messrs. Dorman, Long & Co. Ltd., at Middlesbrough and lastly at Messrs. Distillers Co. Ltd., where he was chief draughtsman at their Manchester offices. Throughout his life he set a good example in every way, and in expressing our own sincere sympathy to his nearest and dearest, we feel we are also interpreting the feelings of every one of our Old Boys who had the privilege of knowing him. ROLAND SCOTT after leaving School was employed at Messrs. I.C.I. Ltd., on the coal-oil hydrogcnation plant. About 1930 he accepted an appointment with the Foster-Wheeler Corporation Ltd. and spent some years on their design Staff, including a term of approximately 12 months in Poland, where he supervised the starting-up of a new oil refinery plant. In 1937 he joined the Midland Tar Distillers at Oldbury, Bir• mingham, by whom he was employed as Chief Chemical Engineer until his death in May 1952. He was 68 years of age, left a widow, and a son aged 13.

JUST PRIOR to last Christmas, his many friends were shocked to hear of the sudden death of LLEWELLYN MACGREGOR. "Mac," as he was familiarly known to all his associates—along with his bosom pals, Norman Winn, Philip Cohen and Lance Winn, the two last named of whom have already passed to the Great Beyond—took an active part in launching the Old Stocktonians' Association in 1913 and was indeed a member of its first committee. In later years, though taking a less active part, he never lost interest and was always proud of his connection with the old School. Succeeding his father, he carried on a successful drapery and out• fitting business in Bowesfield Lane and was held in great esteem by all those with whom his business brought him into contact. In his early teens, he was an excellent footballer but a severe attack of rheumatic fever put an end to his playing career. As a man, he was essentially quiet and kindly and never known to raise his voice in argument. He was singularly well informed and widely read, had a keen sense of humour and an unsuspected gift of mimicry, while his many acts of generosity, particularly to old folks, were so unobtrusive as to escape notice altogether. We had known him for well nigh 50 years and we say in all sincerity that he was one of the kind that can ill be spared. To the one who shared his very happy but all too brief married life, we offer our deepest sympathy.

*5 OLD BOYS HERE AND THERE

IN OUR last issue we proudly referred to the list of numerous Old Stocktonians on the Staffs of Public Libraries in the district and thought• lessly assigned to Stockton Library the honour of including only two, namely STANLEY KING, a pioneer in this type of work among Old Boys, for he must have been in the profession a matter of at least 30 years, and T. GRAINGER, another old hand. We humbly apologise for omitting the names of W. DA VIES (41-45). and NEIL WILKINSON (44-48).

The Research Laboratory of Messrs. Ashmore, Benson, Pease & Co. Ltd., seems to be another hot-bed of young Old Stocktonians, those with a flair for Chcmistrv. Believe it or not, no less than ten of our young men are installed there, D. BERRY (45-49) : T. V. McKENNA (44-48) ; B. McGlTLL (40-50): A. THOMPSON (40-47): D. BROWN LEE (42- 46) ; T. BIRCH ALL (41-45) ; D. BALL (38-42) ; A. JONES (32-36) ; A. TAYLOR (37-43) ; and P. F. SANDERSON (46-50). From all acc• ounts things are going not too badly and Tees-side can rely on retaining a place on the map and in the sun.

Our removal to Grangefield from Nelson Terrace was not completed until June this summer, for we had left something behind, the loss of which was only discovered after a lapse of nearly two years. Old Stock• tonians who were in the VIth Form in and around the year 1931 are asked to guess who it was that made a belated but none the less trium• phal progress to the new home—last in the procession but certainly not least, to take up his new quarters in a new seclusion. None other than our old pal " Sammy," beloved of many Old Boys of days gone by. And who provided an equipage in keeping with an event of such moment— who but * * * * (or Tommy shall we say) the highpriest of the Sammy Cult of the early thirties'? He must have thought it a strange turn of the wheel of fortune as he conveyed his friend of years gone by from the grime of Nelson Terrace to the happy lands out west. We can now expect an authentic ghost at Grangefield, and Master Coombs will be relieved of a job the next time " Alec in Grangefield " is performed.

Now in his fourth season with Stockton Rugby Club, ERIC GODD- A RI) has succeeded another Old Boy, BOB COULSON as Captain. While in the Forces he played for the United Services, and on his return to civilian life played with Billingham during the period 1946-48. He was " capped " for Durham County in the season 1946-47, and a mem• ber of the XV which met the Wallabies at Gosforth.

BOB COULSON after splendid service to the club as "Skipper" is continuing this season as Vice-captain. H. ALTON, formerly with Dorman, Long & Co., at Middlesbrough, and since 1945 Chief Accountant to Redpath, Brown & Co., of Edin• burgh, Glasgow, Manchester and London, is now on the Board of Direc• tors of this latter Company. Distinction in his own profession has always been coupled with abundance of extra energy for public service. He was for some years a member of the Stockton R.D.C., a governor of our own School and of the Grammar School, and during the War rose to become a Battalion Commander in the Home Guard. In Sport he has been a playing member of Eaglescliffe Golf Club, and a well known per• sonality in the domains of cricket, tennis and hockey.

To GORDON Mcl NTYRE, B.Com., F.R.Econ.S., fell the disting• uished duty as Mayor of the City of Durham, of presenting the Freedom of the City to Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery.

16 W. N. CARDNO, a civil engineer domiciled in Australia but one whose work carries him to all quarters of the habitable Globe came home for Christmas after calls at Singapore, Columbo and Cairo. His return to Australia involved calls at New York, Kansas City, San Francisco, Honolulu and Fiji—a neat trip round the world.

The Rev. ALBERT ROBINSON now Vicar of Helmsley has suc• ceeded to one of the largest parishes in the diocese of York, a far flung area in which he has charge of six churches in all, those at Eastmoors, Rievaulx, Sproxton, Carlton and Pockley in addition to the glorious parish church of Helmsley itself. He is also Chaplain to Queen Mary's School, Duncombe Park. Before moving to Helmsley Mr. Robinson was Vicar of Kirkby Moorside. He is a member of the York Diocesan cricket team, has played football for Kirkby Moorside, and discharged the duties of local football referee.

JOHN T. PURVIS, B.Sc.. who recently retired from the post of Senior Agricultural Officer in the Colonial Agricultural Service, has bought a small holding at " Hill Crest," Aislaby, Yarm, and invites old School friends to visit him there. We propose ere long to take advantage of this invitation.

Another invitation to visit him comes from J. HUMBLE, now loc• ated in Derby and engaged as chief sub-editor of the Derby Evening Telegraph, who reminds us that he once acted as Editor of the Stock- tonian Year Book, and then very sadly regrets that his travels about the country have put him out of touch with many old friends.

A. H. RHODES, who is Senior Fourth Officer on the Port Dunedin (Port Line) is now on his way to Australia and does not expect to be back until October. In many a weary watch, we think, his thoughts will turn Stockton-wards. L. J. THORNTON, is on the Staff at the Royal Air Force aircrew O.C.T.U. We congratulate him very heartily, as also on his marriage on the 14th March last to a very charming wife. DONALD B. SMITH, on the Staff of Morgan Academy, Dundee, has met a former colleague of Dr. Kinnes at Gordon's College, Aberdeen. He recalls the glorious days of 1938-39 when the Rugger XV passed through a season undefeated, bringing off doubles against such redoubt• able opponents as Henry Smith's, and Wingate—the days of Kit Urwin, Douglas Moore, Harry Race, George Watson, George Wing, Harry Rut- ledge and Colin Kendall. He reminds us also of a famous occasion— the Inter-Schools Athletic Meeting at Bishop Auckland in July, 1938. when Eric Tingle won the High Jump at 5' i" and amazed the spectators by walking upright beneath the bar, having jumped higher than his height.

Musically interested Old Stocktonians will learn with warm interest that Dr. KINNES, on retiring, has presented to the School Orch• estra the double bass on which he has played with the Orchestra from its earliest days—a symbol of an enthusiasm which never wavered through the years, and a happy reminder of many pleasant hours in Nelson Terrace to those of the old days who still remain to play at Grangefield. After an adventurous interlude spent in Malta during the late war, R. S. THOMPSON, B.Sc., M.Ed., has found his niche as Head of the Physics and Geology Departments in Darlington Grammar School. In the Intervals between teaching, he coaches his two boys in the art of cricket on a pitch which he has laid down in his back garden at Norton.

17 His brother, G. A. S. THOMPSON is teaching at the Norton High Street School. He, too, has a youngster, the living image, so we under• stand, and the possessor of many of the characteristics of his maternal grandfather, HARRY HEAVTSIDES. There are many of us who would say that the boy is exceptionally fortunate in the choice both of parents and grandparents

ALAN CAPSTICK, who in our last Year Book was mentioned as occupying the position of Deputy Manager in the paint works of Messrs. Manders Bros., Wolverhampton, has now at the early age of 36 been appointed Manager of the same business concern. We hope that Alan, in view of his many preoccupations, for he is already the proud father of an infant long past the perambulator stage, will not allow his cricket to lapse for when in Stockton he was a very valuable member of the ist XI and seemed likely in due course to become Captain of the Club.

In addition to the medical degrees, M.B. and B.S. which he already holds, JOHN M. JEWITT is now also entitled to append after his name the awe-inspiring letters D.R.C.O.G. In plain language, this denotes that he holds the Diploma in Obstetrics of the Royal College of Obstet• rics and Gynecology. At the moment, Mr. Jewitt is acting as assistant in a medical practice at Sacriston, Co. Durham, and we have no doubt that in future Year Books we shall read a great deal of him.

J. B. WADSWORTH who obtained a First Class Honours Degree in French at London University afterwards married an American lady and it was probably owing to her beguilments that he added a Ph.D. of Harvard to his already fine qualifications. Mr. Wadsworth has now been appointed Assistant Professor of Romance Languages at this latter University.

Somewhere in April last, we had the pleasure of listening to Mr. G. W. WILKINSON, who, as Chairman of the local branch, was broad• casting on behalf of the Mathematical Association, then for the first time holding its General Meeting in the provinces—at Sheffield. It is now our additional pleasure to congratulate Mr. Wilkinson on being appointed Headmaster of the Nether Edge Grammar School, Sheffield, in which school he has served as Senior Mathematical Master (Deputy Head after 1945) since 1933. Mr. Wilkinson was a pupil at S.S.S. from September 1910 to July 1914, while later for one year he became a student teacher at Richard Hind School. Still later, he proceeded to Borough Road Training College London, where he obtained a B.Sc. degree in mathematics with First Class Honours, subsequently following this by a M.Sc. degree (both of London University). From 1921 to 1929, he acted as an Assistant Master at West Leeds

High School, and from 1929 to 1933 as Senior Maths. Master at Whitby Grammar School. Mr. Wilkinson was one of a family of five, four of whom attended the old Secondary School in Nelson Terrace. Walter is now Managing Direc• tor of Pickering's Ltd., Stockton-on-Tees. Richard still tends the ances• tral acres at Manor House Farm, Yarm Road (his eldest boy is in attendance at the Grangefield Grammar School), while Mary (of whom no doubt many Old Boys will have wistful recollections), as the wife of a farmer, is the mainspring of village activities at Kirby Musperton, near Malton.

18 T. W. RICHARDSON (whose grown up son we had the pleasure of meeting only the other day) is now District Manager of the Prudential Assurance Co. Ltd. (Sedgefield area), while his brother, R. RICHARD• SON is District Manager of the same company at Eastbourne. Considering that both the grandfather and father of the Richardson brothers also held important positions with the Prudential, the family has a record of service—120 years—which might well constitute a record. Another family, which has a distinguished connection with the School is that of RUSSELL. Henry Dennis of that name, who was awarded the D.F.C. in the late war, is now an A.M.I.C.E. and holds an important engineering appointment with Samuel Williams Ltd., Dagenham, Essex. His brother, Geoffrey Mellanby—a one time member of the Tank Corps—who after the war deserted banking for engineering, took a Science degree at Manchester University and later joined the firm of Personnel Administration Ltd. With this firm, his duties have taken him via Hull, Edinburgh, Grenock and Workington to Street (near Bath). The Russell family is completed by Joan, herself an Old Girl and once a graduate teacher, whose husband—an Old Boy, let us say, by marriage—has recently obtained a teaching appointment at Lewisham, Kent. Thus it comes about that Mr. and Mrs. Russell (Mrs. Russell was formerly Doris Elliott of happy memory, the name of whose brother, George, appears on our 1914-18 War Memorial), are shortly leaving Stockton and intend making their home in the south in order to be near their children and seven grandchildren.

One of the most distinguished of all our Old Boys is Alderman C. W. ALLISON, O.B.E., J.P., who some time ago retired from his position as local Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, the strength of which he had raised from a mere handful to several thousands. Elected to the Stockton Town Council in 1918 and again in 1921, 1924, 1927 and 1930, he was created an Alderman in 1931 and acted as Mayor of the Borough in 1932-33. In his municipal life, he has served with great distinction on many committees—Savings, Hospital, Employment, River Boards, to quote only a few. But in none of his various spheres has he rendered greater public service than as Chairman of the Tees Valley Water Board, in connection with which his recent piloting of the Tees Valley Water Bill through its various stages—a bill which will confer untold benefits on the industrial future of Tees-side—has earned him universal appreciation. We do not think that Alderman Allison will ever grow old. Rather do we consider that his interest in and sympathy with his fellow men, together with his sense of humour which enables him to laugh at himself no less than at other people, will keep him ever youthful.

It is our privilege and pleasure to be permitted to read from time to time that most interesting journal Concord which is the house organ of the great firms of Power Gas Corporation Ltd. and Ashmore, Benson, Pease & Co. Ltd. In recent issues, we have been delighted to read that our old friend R. W. RUTHERFORD has been appointed Deputy Manager Director of the former firm, while the services of another old friend, CHARLES INGMAN, have been recognised by his promotion to Divisional Dir• ector of the latter. Further, Mr. Ingman's son, PAUL, has received

19 the appointment of Representative Engineer over Power Gas Corpor• ation in France. Mr. Ingman, incidently, has another son, DAVID, who has recently taken his B.Sc. followed by his M.Sc. degrees at King's College, Newcastle and who has found time between his studies to marry a very charming Stockton lady. But he has preferred to leave Stockton and to seek his fortune with the Plastics Division of Messrs. I.C.I. Ltd., at Welwyn Garden City.

In the Concord, we read, too, that LAURENCE DAVIS, Secretary of both companies, has been elected a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries, and that RONALD LUDBROOK (now holding an important position with Power Gas Australasia Ltd.), whose great work on the Sindri Fertilizer project in India was mentioned in our last Year Book was made the recipient of a piece of silverware to show the appre• ciation of the A.B.P. directors. There are other Old Boys in Ashmore's who also fill us with a feeling of pride—C. W. LUDBROOK and W. GILBERT for instance—men of character, men who by their own efforts and example are helping to make an ever greater industrial Tees-side.

R. W. DAVIES, who obtained a County Major Scholarship and later proceeded to St. John's Training College, York, has obtained a B.A. degree with Honours in History and Politics (Manchester University). He has recently been appointed to a teaching post at Billingham South Modern School.

Great success has attended the members of the CHARNLEY family. Last year we recorded that C. J. (Jack)—now Responsible Lecturer for Instrument Section at the Northampton Polytechnic, London—had obtained his B.Sc. Engineering degree. Now we have pleasure in re• cording that ALBERT has been successful in obtaining a degree in Civil Engineering, while W. D. (Bill) has attained a similar distinction in Town and Country Planning, both at King's College, Newcastle.

In March 1906, a small boy—BEN NEASHAM, by name—born in the U.S.A. of British parents and with his paternal grandparents long resident in Stockton—made his appearance at the then Higher Grade School. Fourteen years later, this small boy—now, of course, a young man—joined the staff of the newly established Synthetic Ammonia & Nitrates Ltd., and after working his way through the Accountancy and Secretarial Departments has recently been appointed Chief Accountant of the Billingham Division of Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. We offer our hearty congratulations. It is pleasing to learn of the success of GEORGE MARSHALL (25-29), whose design of a "revolving beacon" 70 feet high, consisting of a seven foot globe and 63 foot pillar mounted on a revolving drum, formed a striking prizewinning exhibit at the Rhodes Centenery Exhib• ition. On leaving us George worked for five years at the Furness Ship• yard, Haverton Hill before removing to Leeds two years before the war. During the period of hostilities he was employed by the Admiralty. Since the war he has been in South Africa where he is now established in Bulawayo and where he is a partner in the engineering firm of J. H. Haviland & Marshall.

From Eastern Pakistan we hear welcome news of HAROLD COX (16-20) who looks forward keenly each year to the arrival of the Stocktonian and the memories it revives. He is Resident Engineer to the Chandroghona Paper Mills in the Chittagong Hill Tracks, a region of jungle and bamboo—and game. His good wishes we cordially recipro• cate. Harold would like to hear from Old Boys of his own generation. In 1927 JOHN WILLI WIS left School and since then has always kept in close association with us though for years out of the town. His work in the Hospital Service began at Stockton and Thornaby Hospital in 1928. Since then he has progressed far in his profession and has held appointments successively at Wigan Royal Infirmary, the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, Salisbury General Infirmary and the General Hospital, Southend. He has now completed more than 25 years service and holds a key post as (.roup Secretary to the Ipswich Group Hospital Management Committee and has long ceased the fishing he was years ago reputed to have indulged in from Wigan pier. He seeks news especially of his former Comrade in crime (or shall we say naught• iness) J. H. CRUDDACE, once one of the lights of Bishopton.

WILF EDEN, happily settled at Retford, delights to receive the Stockttnian and regrets that no Old Bovs of his period (16-20) seem to be located in that Midland Region except for KENNETH MARTIN at Nottingham. HAROLD L. SIMPS( )N (06-1o) is as vigorous with the pen as ever he was in those far off school days and as keen an Old Stocktonian. It is refreshing indeed to know that his interest is as ardent as ever despite the gulf of time and distance. He is head of a large firm of Chartered Accountants in Huddcrsfield, Directs a few Companies for recreation and fills in his idle moments on the Town Council. The Council, deeming him a man of leisure and we fancy delighting in the exuberant energy and exhilarating gusto of this live wire, have contrived to establish him as Chairman of the Estate Committee, Chairman of the Rating and Valuation Committee (it is easy to guess why) and Chairman of Blind Welfare. He is also among other things Councillor, Trustee and Treasurer of the Y.M.C.A., governor of a School, Hon. Treasurer of the Tradesmans' Benevolent Institute, and Auditor for a whole array of Youth Clubs. He is also a Freemason, Grand Lodge Officer, P.P.G.W., in the Province and Prov. G. J. in the Provincial Chapter. We send him hearty greetings and hope that he may long continue thus to the benefit of all who dwell in and around Huddersfield, unstaled by time, lively and happy, and keen on the old School after 43 years.

On one of the closing days of last year, we chanced to meet RAYMOND ELSWORTH. B.Sc., and his' wife (his choice has earned our unstinted appreciation), then spending a few days in Stockton. Unfortunately, they were accompanied by a couple of dogs, the threat• ening attitude of the larger one of which made us fear for our only pair of trousers. But we learned that Raymond is now a research chemist at Rome and that he had recently returned from a laboratory at Rome where he had been trying to discover whether the knowledge of micro-biology of the Italian professors was any greater than his own.

We were recently privileged to see PRANK SEDDON playing for Stockton Football Club and the fact that Middlesbrough Reserves unit home defeated was in no small measure due to his efforts at centre-half. |( )HN 1). L< U'GHRAN has had a very varied career for on leaving school he started as a clerk at Messrs. I.C.I. Ltd. Other jobs followed, but he finally decided that his real vocation lay in Veterinary Science. Accordingly, he became a student at Edinburgh University and later blossomed out as an M.R.C.V.S. Now, living in his ancestral home at Wolviston with offices in Stockton and Middlesbrough—the former decorated with a stuffed owl which appears to us to be somewhat inebriated—he leads a very busy life for in addition to following his chosen profession (he is also Senior part-time Veterinary Officer for the Government), he is a part-time lecturer at Houghall Agricultural College and conducts Evening Classes in Meat Inspection at Durham City.

2.1 Within recent weeks, we received an extremely welcome visit from C. H. O'GRADY, who, leaving his business worries in north-west Lon• don to take care of themselves, was taking the opportunity of intro• ducing his very delightf-.il wife to the beauties of Stockton and more particularly of Cleveland. Apparently the lady was much impressed and it may be that some day the genial Charles will consider launching a further enlargement of his florist's business—but this time much further north. Quite lately, he told us, he had had occasion to call in the aid of an Accountant—and in walked Old Boy, AVORY STONEHOUSE, whom he had not seen for seveial years.

About the same time we met If. K. ROSS, M.A., who with his two young daughters (both lovely children) was paying a short visit to Stockton. Malcolm is Headmaster (Warden is the correct title) of the Village College at Sawston, which is situated a' out seven miles south of Cambridge. To the College which formerly provided an education with a rural bias, a Secondary Grammar School wing has recently been added. But even this hardly gives an idea of its full scope. For it is a Community centre in the true sense and around it the whole life of the village revolves. Want of space prevents us from dwelling on it as we should like but we note that the Horticultural Society, the Sawston Cricket and Football Clubs, the Youth Clul s hold their main functions at the College, while the Winter programme is besprinkled with One-Act plays, Orchestral Concerts, classes in Bell Ringing, Boxing and Decorative Metal Work. Altogether it seems to be a very happy place, and its growing success must be a source of ever increasing pleasure to Loth Malcolm and his wife, who was known to Old Girls of the School as Ella Munkley.

As a man who farms many acres round and about Howden Hall, his prettily situated residence just off Durham Road, and as Secretary of the Stockton Agricultural Show, \ E. \S enjoys much local fame. But he enjoys almost national fame as the owner of the famous Short• horn bull, " Snotterton Victory "—an animal with almost enough blue blood to sink a battleship-—which has carried off prizes at nearly every show in the country.
