My predecessor, John Smart, has edited the Magazine with great flair, erudition, patience and humour for the past six years. It will be the hardest of tasks to emulate the high standards that he has maintained throughout his tenure of office. It is good to know that he is continuing to serve in a different capacity on the OG Committee. Our cover picture this year draws attention to the remarkable fact that, with the recent appointment of Sir James Dyson OM CBE FRS (OSH 1956 – 65), no fewer than four Old Greshamians – the others being Ben Nicholson OM, Baron Britten of Aldburgh OM CH (F 1928 – 30) and Sir Alan Hodgkin OM KBE PRS (H 1927 – 32) - have been appointed to the Order of Merit since the establishment of the award in 1902. This is one of the highest honours that can be bestowed in Britain and the Commonwealth realms, taking precedence over all others apart from the ancient orders of chivalry (such as the Garter, the Thistle and the Bath) and is in the personal gift of the Sovereign. Founded by King Edward VII, the Order is limited to 24 members, and has been described as “quite possibly the most prestigious honour one can receive on planet Earth”. For a small school such as Gresham’s – there were only 182 boys in 1907, and a mere 170 returned to Holt from Cornwall in 1945 – to have produced so many outstanding figures is a quite exceptional achievement, and a tribute to the liberal education, strong in arts, science and sports, and in fostering individual talent, that was provided throughout the 20th century, and that, we hope, continues to be offered to Greshamians today. Richard Peaver 4 Old Greshamian Magazine From the Chairman Dear OGs, These are great times for both the School and the OG Club. With the land sales complete, the School has embarked upon improve- ments to Oakeley, Edinburgh and Britten (now Queens’) houses in the senior school and Crossways and Kenwyn in the prep school. The Oakeley plans are particularly ambitious, with essentially a rebuild of the entire centre of the house behind the current struc- ture, which will then be demolished. The jewel in the crown, though, is the fabulous new Britten Music School, which will be a facility for other schools to envy. In addition, the School has received ‘Excellents’ across all three categories in all three schools in the recent ISIS inspection. On a more sombre but equally impressive note, I attended the School’s centenary cele- bration of the inauguration of the School Chapel in January. It was quite the most moving service I have ever attended, and the sound of pupils in full CCF uniform - one for each OG who died in the Great War - marching off on the gravel into the distance that pervaded into the silence in the Chapel will stay with me forever. The Club is also in good shape. This is Richard Peaver’s first magazine as editor and I am pleased (but not in the slightest surprised) to say he is maintaining the high standards set by John Smart. In addition to all the usual sporting, cultural and social events this year there were a couple of stand outs. Jo Thomas Howard and her team organised a sensational night for nearly 180 OGs and other halves at the East India Club. The Club’s stock of claret took a real hammering that evening. Charlotte Coventry, our Vice-Chairman, and her committee also organised an excellent ball at the School in June, at which we discovered Sam Curtis’s hidden talent as an auctioneer. A huge thank you and well done to Charlotte and her committee and Jo and her team in the OG office for that memorable

CHAPTER ONE Joy was her name and she certainly lived up to it that evening, being quite unconfined. When she finally made her way home to Married Quarters, she left, much to our delight, an exciting imprint of her bare bottom on the red plastic bar stool seat. Married to an older Flying Officer, she seemed rather to enjoy the company of us young National Service officers. As in all the recently built radar stations, the bar in the Officers' Mess of R.A.F. Seaton Snook, where I was to spend the last year of my service, had a pre- fabricated air to it. Two fluorescent tubes, only partially hidden by a hardboard frieze, cast a hard, bright glare that did little to add to the atmosphere. The few bottles that stood on the glass shelves behind the steward's back were reflected in the mirror that covered that entire wall, as were our own youthful, red-cheeked, grinning faces. Leaving the smoky bar and pretty much the worse for wear on Merrydown cider – the cheapest way to get spifflicated – we finally staggered off to our separate, sparsely furnished, rooms. I lost my balance several times as I undressed and when I finally pulled on my striped Wincyette pyjamas and clambered onto the thin mattress and slipped between the cold sheets, the way the bed looped the loop, as I tried to keep my eyes focussed on the ceiling, reminded me of my very short flying career in the Royal Air Force.
