We regret that it is overdue, but at least the delay has made it possible to include some additional matter without which it would have been relatively slender, The Librarian wishes to express his warm thanks to all the kind friends who have given such generous financial aid to the Library. We hope that their example may move others to do likewise. A photograph of part of the interior of the Library appears in this number, but we must assure readers that no monochrome representation can do justice to the room. It is largely thanks to Mr. Hoggarth that you will find so many in- teresting notes on Old Boys. It would be impossiible to overstate our indebtedness to him in this respect. Good wishes to all our readers—everywhere. 166 OBITUARY. To all, save a few, the brief announcement in the Daily Tele- graph of the death at West Challow, near Wantage, of Gilbert Harry Oswald Piggott on January 4th, in his eighty-third year appears to have passed unnoticed, yet, in his lifetime, Captain Piggott was well known in Petersfield as a Master at Churcher's College, as a Town Councillor, and as a Freemason. Born in April, 1874, he was educated at Ardingly College. As a young man he achieved distinction by playing Soccer for the Casuals. He held a teaching post at Palmer's School, Grays, Essex, where he stayed for six years before his appointment to the Staff of Churcher's College in 1906. He remained at Churcher's for thirty years, during which time he became the Officer Commanding the O.T.C., House Master at Rodney House, and, from 1927-1936, during Mr. Hoggarth's Headship, Second Master of the College. As a Master he was held in affection by both Staff and boys, and many Old Churcherians who remember him will mourn his passing. Capt. Piggott had a wide variety of interests. At Sheet he had been a Parish Councillor, a member of the Church Choir, and a Churchwarden. He had been a member of the local Choral and Operatic Societies and a Vice-President of the Rugby Club. From 1935 until 1938 he served on the Petersfield Urban District Council. He was a Past Master of the Petersfield Lodge of Freemasons, a Past First Principal of the Petersfield Chapter, and held Provincial honours. He leaves an only son, Stuart, an Old Churcherian, now Pro- fessor of Archasology at the University of Edinburgh. ***** We regret to record the untimely-death of T. D. Jenkins in the autumn of 1956, at the age of twenty-three. During his period of national service he spent some time in the Middle East, and it was there that he suffered the first of a series of bouts of a malady which was not at first clearly diagnosed, but eventually proved to be a form of cancer. Jenkins was well-known in the school, not indeed as one of its more promising scholars, but as a quite remarkably pleasant and like- able lad, even tempered, and always kindly and helpful. He entered Churcher's as a member of Grenville House in September 1944, and left in April 1950. He was a ke^n member of the C.C.F. and duly gained his Cert. A. Parts I and II. He played in the Rugby 1st XV. in 1949. ***** We are sorry also to record the death of Alan G. Hobby, who entered Churcher's as a member of Rodney House in 1947 and left us, after gaining his School Certificate; in 1950. He was a very sound member of our community; and .we are sure that all who knew him must be sincerely regretted by All who knew him. *. * * * * Engineer .Rear*A^miriJ Edwin Williamson died on-July 31st 4t the age of seventy. We extend flur sympathy to his widow and daughter. Born in 1886, he spent some/years at the College,, and passed-to the Royal Naval Engineering College, Devonport, passing out in 1906. He served with the Grand Fleet during the 1914-18 War, and he attained the rank of Captain in 1931. He retirecl with the rank of Rear-Admiral in 1937, having been for the last year of his service A.D.C. to the King. 167 SCHOOL NOTES. Appointments for Autumn Term : College Captain—R. C. Hobbs.

Mr. Keith Gammon, the Chairman of the Governors, in a short intro- ductory speech, welcomed the opportunity of meeting parents and other friends of the College and of giving them news of the year's successes. He then asked the Headmaster to give his report. The Headmaster's Report. Mr. Chairman, Sir Cecil Wakeley, Ladies and Gentlemen,— Very soon we may expect to see in some illustrated periodical a draw- ing of Old Father Time, scythe in hand, gently urging forward a little boy, the new 1957, and we shall realise that another son of Time has been born. The hymn has it that " Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day." The older one becomes the falser this dictum seems to be, though to boys who are young enough to be in that happy state when " A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages" there may be much truth in it. Speech Day temporarily arrests the process of forgetting and provides the opportunity to recall the happier details and events of the past School Year. Is it ever pleasant to recall the hours of hard work in the classrooms? Certainly, for both Masters and boys, if the results of efforts therein bring examination successes of the kind obtained last June and July by those in the Vlths and Vths. On this occasion in 1955, the Masters and I were pleased to print the list of examination successes; we are the more delighted to present to you the record of this last year. Never before have we had thirteen Hampshire Major Scholarships in one year, or as many passes at the Ordinary level in subjects offered for the General Certificate of Educa- tion.

  • John Hawkesworth Scope and Content
    JOHN HAWKESWORTH SCOPE AND CONTENT Papers relating to film and television producer, scriptwriter and designer JOHN STANLEY HAWKESWORTH. Born: London, 7 December 1920 Died: Leicester, 30 September 2003 John Hawkesworth was born the son of Lt.General Sir John Hawkesworth and educated at Rugby and Queen's College, Oxford. Between school and university he spent a year studying art at the Sorbonne in Paris, where Picasso corrected his drawings once a week. Following the military tradition of his family, Hawkesworth joined the Grenadier guards in 1940 and had a distinguished World War II record. In 1943 he married Hyacinth Gregson-Ellis and on demobilisation from the army began work in the film industry as an assistant to Vincent Korda. As art director he worked on many films for British Lion including The THIRD MAN (GB, 1949), OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS (GB, 1951), and The SOUND BARRIER (GB, 1952). As a freelance designer he was involved with The MAN WHO NEVER WAS (GB, 1955) and The PRISONER (GB, 1955). Joining the Rank Organisation as a trainee producer, Hawkesworth worked on several films at Pinewood and was associate producer on WINDOMS WAY (GB, 1957) and TIGER BAY (GB, 1959). Hawkesworth's writing for television began with projects including HIDDEN TRUTH (tx 9/7/1964 - 6/10/1964), BLACKMAIL (Associated Rediffusion tx 1965 - 1966) and the 13 part BBC series CONAN DOYLE (tx 15/1/1967 - 23/4/1967), before embarking on the acclaimed LWT series The GOLDROBBERS (tx 6/6/1969 - 29/4/1969). It was with the latter that the Sagitta Production Company who were to produce the highly successful Edwardian series UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS (tx 1970 - 1975) for LWT, came into existence, making Hawkesworth and his long term professional partner Alfred Shaughnessy household names.

[laughs] I was 27. Lying already, you see! [laughs] I was working in London. I was, at the time, at Harmers, the stamp auctioneers in Bond Street. MW: I see.

  • Robert and Barbara Clarke Collection
    ROBERT AND BARBARA CLARK COLLECTION Accession date: March 2002 Extent: 35 Archive Boxes. INTRODUCTION Documents relating to the work of make-up artist Robert Clark [Born Livingstone Veitch Clark] a.k.a. L.V.Clark, Bob Clark, Robert Clarke, Bob Clarke and Wardrobe Mistress Barbara Clark [Born Cecilia Darby Gray – 1925] a.k.a. Babs Gray, Babs Clark, Babs Clarke, Cecilia Gray, Cecilia Clark. A large proportion of the couple’s work was on Elstree Studio productions where Robert Clark was Chief Make-up artist. Barbara Clark worked mainly as a wardrobe mistress but was also a model maker on MOBY DICK (GB,1956). Barbara Clark’s first notable film credit is [as Cecilia Gray] for her work on Alfred Hitchcock’s STAGE FRIGHT (GB,1950) when she was Marlene Dietrich’s dresser. Robert Clark is most frequently credited as Bob Clark and Barbara Clark as Babs Gray. Though not always credited at all, (either on SIFT or in publicity sources) it is likely one or both worked on the film projects arranged chronologically at the beginning of the collection. The Clark family home was in Elstree and their continued interest in both studio and town is reflected in the large collection of related press cuttings. The material is arranged as follows: RBC/1 - RBC/109 - Realised Film Projects RBC/110 - RBC/123 - Realised Television projects RBC/124 - RBC/125 - Miscellaneous stills and photographic material [film/television related] RBC/126 - Material Relating to Elstree Studios.[History, subsequent redevelopment and the various production companies operating out of the studio including: British Independent Pictures, Associated British Picture Corporation and Thorn EMI].
