SAINSBURY <&_ SON HIGH STREET, AYLESBURY TELEPHONE 5332 iii A Career for Young Men that carries responsibility Coal provides 82% of the total energy requirements in Britain. Because the demand for coal will continue to be high for many years to come, great schemes of reconstruction are being undertaken by the coal mining industry, for which there must be an adequate supply of suitably qualified and well trained men. University Scholarships*—The National Coal Board offer up to 100 University Scholarships a year for school leavers and Board employees; most are in Mining Engineering and some are available in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Chemical Engineering and in Fuel Technology. They are worth about the same as State Scholarships but there is no parental means test. If you join the Board's service straight from school, you can also apply for University Scholarships in Scientific and non-technical subjects. Apprenticeship and Part-time Education Schemes.—There are Student Apprenticeship Schemes in Mining, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as well as Apprenticeship Schemes for Mining Surveyors and Engineering Craftsmen. These schemes provide for day-release or sandwich courses (with pay) at technical colleges. Other employees are also considered for release with pay to attend technical colleges. Management Training.—When you are qualified—either through the University or through technical college while working—you are eligible for a two or three-year course under the Board’s Management Training Scheme. Scientific Careers.—If you are interested in a Scientific Career, there is absorbing and rewarding work at the Board’s Research establishments, and in the coalfields on operational work. Clerical and Administrative Careers.---- There are interesting careers in administration, marketing, finance and personnel work, for young men and women of good educational standards. Prospects.—After qualifying, there is every prospect of promotion to r-ally responsible posts at an early age, and it is possible to earn a four- figure salary by the age of thirty. Write for full particulars to the Director-General of Staff, National Coal Board, Hobart House, London, S.WM. *A former pupil of your school was awarded one of these scholarships in 1956. iv /— ...— Books on all Subjects with special Sections of Art Recreation Children’s Books and all Educational Topics F.WEATHERHEAD&SON Limited cordially invite YOU to inspect their large stock at . 58, KINGSBURY AYLESBURY Phone 3153 e A a tta e e a s e / The modem trend is all towards ease and the new Simpson suits show it to perfection.

Yet the position would be more aptly described if we say that the School has reached the parting of the ways since the girls have departed from us and gone about their several ways. This, too, is not entirely accurate since the Vth and Upper Vlth Form girls who have an impending external examination, though domiciled at the High School, conveniently contiguous, visit and join us for academic studies.

  • Church Bells. Part 1. Rev. Robert Eaton Batty
    CHURCH BELLS BY THE REV. ROBERT EATON BATTY, M.A. The Church Bell — what a variety of associations does it kindle up — how closely is it connected with the most cherished interests of mankind! And not only have we ourselves an interest in it, but it must have been equally interesting to those who were before us, and will pro- bably be so to those who are yet to come. It is the Churchman's constant companion — at its call he first enters the Church, then goes to the Daily Liturgy, to his Con- firmation, and his first Communion. Is he married? — the Church bells have greeted him with a merry peal — has he passed to his rest? — the Church bells have tolled out their final note. From a very early period there must have been some contrivance, whereby the people might know when to assemble themselves together, but some centuries must have passed before bells were invented for a religious purpose. Trumpets preceded bells. The great Day of Atonement amongst the Jews was ushered in with the sound of the trumpet; and Holy Writ has stamped a solemn and lasting character upon this instrument, when it informs us that "The Trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised." The Prophet Hosea was com- manded to "blow the cornet in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah;" and Joel was ordered to "blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm." The cornet and trumpet seem to be identical, as in the Septuagint both places are expressed by σαλπισατε σαλπιγγι.

  • Peasants, Peers and Graziers: the Landscape of Quarrendon In
    PEASANTS, PEERS AND GRAZIERS: THE LANDSCAPE OF QUARRENDON, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, INTERPRETED PAUL EVERSON The medieval and later earthworks at Quarrendon, surveyed by staff of the former Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now English Heritage), are described and interpreted. They reveal a sequence of major land-use phases that can be related coherently to topographical, documentary and architectural evidence. The earliest element may be the site of St Peter's church, located alongside a causeway. The evidence for its architectural development and decline is assem- bled. The site of a set of almshouses in the churchyard is identified. In the later medieval period, there were two separate foci of settlement, each similarly comprising a loose grouping of farmsteads around a green. It is argued that these form components of a form of dispersed settlement pattern in the parish and wider locality. Following conversion for sheep, depopulation and engrossment by the Lee family, merchant graziers of Warwick, a 16th-century moated country mansion was created, with accompanying formal gardens, warren and park. This was one of a group of residences in Buckinghamshire and north Oxfordshire of Sir Henry Lee, creator of the Accession Day tournaments for Elizabeth I and queen's champion. A tenanted farm, its farmhouse probably reusing a retained fragment of the earlier great house, replaced this house. The sites of agricultural cottages and oxpens of an early modern regime of grazing and cattle fattening are identified. In discussion, access and water supply to the great house, and the symbolism of the formal gardens, almshouses and warren are explored.

I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.
