A. Blyth Sub-Editors : P. D. Bowen (School News) R. L. Smyth (Advertisements) D. K. Stratford (Sport) C. Swain (Society News) Photographic Editor : R. W atson EDITORIAL This year is, undoubtedly, a truly outstanding one for the School: outstanding, not only because of its academic achieve­ ments, its usual claim to fame, although these have been very good indeed, but because it is the Quater-centenary Year. An extra­ ordinary amount of attention has been paid to this: but it is no ordinary achievement. Few schools in the country can boast a record comparable to ours, in age, in scholarship or in sheer numbers, and tribute must be paid to the Headmaster, who has been, without a shadow of doubt, the mainstay of the School for nearly thirty years: it is due to him that the School now stands in its lofty position among the country’s best. When it was first announced that the Queen was going to pay a visit to the R.G.S. in April, there was a considerable pause before it became obvious that as much time as in the summer would have to be devoted to preparations for this important event. Among other things, this issue of The Wycombiensian at once was elevated to the rank of Souvenir Edition, to commemorate the Queen’s visit. Indeed, the report on the occasion, with the photographic record, form the centre of the Magazine, the backbone of it, with the more ordinary contributions making up the rest of the skeleton. None the less, this is not to deride or in any way devaluate the routine contributions. When the present editors were first approached about this issue, colossal emphasis was laid on the importance of covering the Queen’s visit adequately. Matters such as House or Society reports were brushed aside, almost ignored. However, it has been borne in upon us, with increasing violence that these 242 apparently minor details are the framework by which the Magazine must stand or fall. Arising out of this, it has been the fashion in recent years for Editors to bewail a lack of articles, to complain of apathy in the School, to accuse House Captains of negligence. The present Editor is at a loss to know whether he is very lucky or whether his predecessors have had a less efficient committee, but this issue has never lacked support in any way; in particular, articles of one kind and another have poured in. It is pleasing to announce also a more lively attitude in House reports and articles; a tendency to break away from the corsetry of prevailing tradition. Previous editors have been voted, by public consent, dull as ditch-water, and we hope that we are not pitching our sights too high when we say that we hope, not to have produced a revolu­ tionary group, but to have collected real inspiration, enthusiasm and humour. We have included some literary efforts which the Editor himself does not profess to understand, and, in direct opposition, other contributions which are easily comprehensible by everyone. It is certain that poetry has flourished. The last editor, indeed, complained bitterly of a lack of what he called “this most satisfying means of creative expression”. We can only say that this is not so now. Finally, unstinted praise must be given to the Sub-Editors of this issue who have worked unceasingly in its production. We have produced, we hope, a magazine which fulfils our ambitions, but, in any case, whatever faults can be found by the unbiased reader, we would wish, with the “rude mechanicals": “ If we offend, it is with our good will, That you should think, we come not to offend But with good will . Our true intent is all for your delight, To show our simple skill.” STAFF NEWS We are glad to welcome the following members of Staff who joined us within the last school year :— M. W. G. Coldham, Esq., M.A., B.Sc. (Oxon). G. Kroes, Esq., M.A. (Stellenbosch). And the Student Masters :— Mr. Cooke. Mr. Dougan. Mr. Garrod. We hope that their stay with us will be profitable and enjoy­ able. 243 It is with great regret that we have to bid farewell to Mons. A. P. Bur, who is leaving us this Easter to take up a new post at Carisbrooke Grammar School in the Isle of Wight. His stay with us has been a very pleasant one and we hope that he will take with him happy memories of a school which is deeply indebted to him for his enthusiasm, success, and lively interest in all activities. At Christmas, we lost another master, D.

A CRITICAL EXPLORATION OF IMPAIRMENT, IDENTITY, MEDIA AND EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE IN A DISABLING SOCIETY COLIN CAMERON A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2010 Abstract I offer a critical exploration of tensions experienced by disabled people in the construction of positive identities in everyday contexts in which self-understanding is shaped both by social structural relations of inequality and unique individual experience. The empirical evidence I use to develop and support my thesis involves data I have generated using a variety of data collection tools, through a series of interviews, conversations and observations carried out with sixteen disabled people across Scotland and England. I argue that while certain barriers to participation in ordinary community life may be being removed, perceptions of impairment as something „wrong‟ with the bodies of disabled people remain embedded in dominant disability discourse.

    HIGH WYCOMBE SOCIETY Telephone: “ HON SECRETARY: '' High Wycombe 25933. J. Scruton, Esq., 17, London Road High Wycombe, Bucks., NEWSLETTER No. 10 - SEPTEMBER, 1911. 1. GROUP ACTIVITIES. a. Membership. We welcome the affiliation of the Caribbean Peoples' Association. We are still worried about the renewal of subscriptions and hope that all those affiliated organisations and members concerned will renew their subscriptions as soon as possible. A reminder letter is enclosed where necessary. b. Planning. Following the meeting in early June with Mr. Ray Bunn of the County Planning Department and his assistant, which was attended by representatives of other amenity societies affiliated to the High Wycombe Society, the Planning Sub-Committee has concerned itself with two items which arose at that meeting. One is the impact on the centre of High Wycombe which will result from the generation of additional traffic when the new Marlow Bridge is completed. It is our intention to raise this matter at every level, from the Department of the Environment downwards as it seems ludicrous in the ’70s to build a network of roads that will encourage traffic to re-route itself through the centre of a town in. vast quantities. What price Buchanan? You will have read in our last Newsletter no doubt, of the formation of a Traffic Group. Such matters will be their concern in the future, but it is confidently expected that the two Groups will work in close co-operation. Secondly, we have been looking at the clearance area to the south of the West Wycombe Road, and an invitation has been sent to Borough Councillors to walk the area with us so that we can discuss and find out more about the area's future.

  • Margaret Haywood If You Live in Flackwell, You Are Likely to Have Met
    Margaret Haywood If you live in Flackwell, you are likely to have met Margaret Haywood. She has lived here since 1959, when she moved here from Hayes with her husband, Peter. Since then, she has been involved with many aspects of village life, usually helping to get things done, on a committee, a council, a board of governors. Her son, Guy, was born in 1964, and as he grew up she was involved in the Carrington Nursery School, the Tufty club (whose main focus was on Road Safety for children), and as an Akela with the Cubs. For 6 years she took 30 plus boys for weekends at Hambleden. Then, naturally, she became a school manager/governor, at junior schools and at the old Pembroke Secondary School. In parallel, she has served at various levels of local government, first the old Wycombe Rural District Council, then Wycombe District Council and Chepping Wycombe Parish Council. She always stood as an Independent, and preferred the days when most other councillors were also Independents. Once councillors were sponsored by political parties, decisions tended to be taken outside the meeting. Margaret has always been good with figures, and so been happy to keep an eye on the financial side of the various organisations, and she has also taken a special interest in leisure facilities and planning. She is known, she says, for her ability to keep reports brief! As the burden of paperwork has mounted, this skill has been increasingly valued by her colleagues. Her biggest achievement, she feels, was finding the money to get the new Community Centre built.
