A New Boat House ...And a New Arts Centre 2004 6/10/05 11:36 Page 1 Abingdon News Lent 2004 The Newsletter of Abingdon School No 3 A New Boat House ... Matthew Pinsent, the gold medal winning Olympic oarsman, opened Abingdon School’s new boathouse on the 22nd October. It was nearly twelve months to the day since the Friends of the Boat Club decided to raise the money for a boathouse worthy of a school that in 2002 had won the Triple – the Schools’ Head on the Tideway, the National Schools’ Regatta at Nottingham and the Matthew Pinsent at the Princess Elizabeth Cup at opening of the boathouse Henley. It was a chilly autumn evening but this didn’t deter nearly four hundred people from crowding into the riverside site to hear Matthew Pinsent encourage the rowers and talk about the importance of good facilities for success. ... and a New Arts Centre The Right Hon. Francis Maude (OA 1971), retiring Chairman of the Governors, opened the new Arts Centre on Open Day, the 11th October. A week later, with the paint scarcely dry and in some places not yet applied, the newly named Amey Theatre hosted its first event, a Gala Charity Concert in which musicians from the School joined those from the band of the Royal Logistic Corps. During the first week in December the theatre saw three performances on three consecutive nights of the senior play, The Nativity, followed on the fourth day by a matinee and evening performance of the Grand Opening Concert. Actors and audience alike appreciated the benefits of the extended stage, the new technical gallery, the enlarged foyer and the refurbished cloakrooms.

This time over a thousand boys had to be organised according to size and the colour of their jackets before filing onto the stands and keeping still long enough for the photograph to be taken. The whole operation was carried out with military precision and the resulting photograph is both attractive and a record of Abingdon School on the 8th September 2003. English Heritage Open Day The School played its part in English Heritage Open Day on 13 September; the Grundy Library was open to the public, as an example of the work of the Victorian architect Edgar Dolby, and the old schoolroom in the Guildhall was also open. Here Mr Pope and a small group of brave volunteers were one of the star attractions as they acted out life in a Victorian classroom where lessons were learnt by rote and the cane was an ever present threat. Legion XIIII A gathering of Lower School pupils, together with some from local primary schools, experienced something of everyday life in Roman times when Legion XIIII came to the School in November. They learnt about fashions, food and hygiene from a freedwoman called Antonia and in the afternoon were taught about the military side of life: the strengths and weaknesses of chain mail and how to use an assortment of weapons including a sling and a javelin. 2 2004 6/10/05 11:36 Page 3 News 3rd Year Service Activities Remembrance Day The introduction of a service scheme for all 3rd Years has seen teams of boys tackling a variety of jobs.

Over forty cadets from both Army and RAF sections were present at the Tea Party parade, which was commanded by Major Carson. There were carols, quizzes and crackers at the Community Service Christmas tea party on 3rd December. The guests were members of “The Older and Bolder Club”, Nicholson House, Old Station House and Lady Eleanor Court and they were entertained with party games and songs by boys from all years. Classics Trip To Turkey Kayaking In Vancouver During the autumn half term a party of thirty-three boys travelled to Turkey.

Challinor: An Analysis of the Perennial Big-Screen Representations of An Analysis of the Perennial Big-Screen Representations of the Famed Detective, Sherlock Holmes by Brody Challinor (English 1154) n the 1939 movie, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle‘s famous detective [Basil Rathbone] finds himself up against his greatest nemesis, Professor Moriarty, [George Zucco] I whom he must fight on two different fronts; protecting a young lady and her brother from the deadly implications of a series of cryptic notes, while simultaneously protecting the Crown Jewels. This portrayal of the character was released to a backdrop of a world in tension, hitting theaters on the first official day of World War II, once Nazi Germany invaded Poland. In sharp contrast to its predecessor, however, the 1979 Murder by Decree pitted Holmes [Christopher Plummer] against what some might call the ‗phantom‘ menace of a fictionalized Jack the Ripper, following hot on the heels of both the Watergate scandal as well as the American feminist movement.

  • University of Minnesota Libraries Department of Special Collections and Rare Books
    University of Minnesota Libraries Department of Special Collections and Rare Books A River Runs By It: Holmes and Doyle in Minnesota An Exhibit from the Sherlock Holmes Collections Elmer L. Andersen Library June 3 — August 27, 2004 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never visited Minnesota. The closest he came was Milwaukee, during a lecture tour in 1894, and Thunder Bay, Ontario, during two later trips through the United States and Canada. Phillip Bergem, an active member of the local Sherlockian society, The Norwegian Explorers, provides a bit of background on the Canadian adventure: … Arthur Conan Doyle … came close and he did mention Minneapolis and St. Paul in his autobiography, Memories and Adventures (p. 301 of the Hodder & Stoughton edition). In a chapter where he discusses his trip to Canada in 1914, he mentioned his visit to the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William in Ontario, which merged in 1970 to become Thunder Bay. "The twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, at the head of Lake Superior, form the most growing community of Canada. They call them twin cities, but I expect, like their Siamese predecessors, they will grow into one. Already the suburbs join each other, though proximity does not always lead to amalgamation or even to cordiality, as in the adjacent towns of St. Paul and Minneapolis. When the little American boy was asked in Sunday school who persecuted Saint Paul, he ‘guessed it was Minneapolis.’ " The joke came about as a result of intense rivalry between Minneapolis and St. Paul in the late 1800s and early 1900s, both vying to become the primary city in Minnesota.
