EDWARDS Norris left Glyn to work in the skiing industry in Austria and will no doubt long be remembered by many generations of ex-Glyn boys, especially for his wide-ranging skills in games coaching, particularly with successive soccer 1st Xls. Last year I wrote of the severe financial restraints imposed by the County, so it has been pleasing to see some new bricks and mortar being laid at Glyn. The project, albeit a modest: one prompted by the Local Authority's statutory obligations, will provide an enlarged school office, better staff cloakroom facilities, a new medical room and a better main entrance to the School. The Prefects' Marathon this year took on a new form of fund­ raising for a children's charity at Christmas. With self-help a necessity for schools these days, the prefects formed three groups to tackle school projects, their three eight-hour working days being sponsored by boys, parents and friends. The results were the initial foundation work for the new gymnasium store, clearing the junior cloakroom and washroom for conversion to new computer rooms and refurbishment of the music practice room. The Ewell Children's Aid Society received £754 which enabled the purchase of a modern type of electric wheelchair for a severely handicapped local boy; this was presented to him at the School during the spring term. A feature of the main school building which attracts much attention from visitors, especially Old Boys, is the school photo­ graphs and team photographs which hang in the corridors. A school photograph is taken every fourth year, so that each boy should appear at least once during his school career. On a fine day in May the 1982 photograph was taken and will soon be framed and 2 3 hung to give a record of the School this year, as does the rest of for the mixed Year 15 and the majority of boys obtained high Ebba's Scrip. marks despite several difficulties.

He is charged to rebuild the Bolligrew Island church, to restore law and order to the island, and to repress the Bolligrew Island dragon; run-of-the-mill stuff for a knight in such times.
