  • Old Boys' Association Newsletter
    Old Boys’ Association Newsletter October 2017 THE PRESIDENT 2017—18 Martin Blake Martin attended Belfast Royal Academy from 1960 to 1967. In his early years he found himself in a geography class taught by the Headmaster, J.W. Darbyshire, who took a dim view of his choice of map colours. Neither was aware that colour blindness rather than carelessness was the cause and so school reports provided painful reading. Fate then played a hand because, as he was young, Martin was permitted to play a second season for the Medallion Shield team. The 1965 team, of which he was captain, became the first Academy team to win a rugby trophy outright. From that moment on, an indul- gent light shone over Master Blake’s head from the Head’s office in the Crombie Building. In 1966 he was awarded the Cricket Bat and the prize for English literature. The following year he was appointed Head Boy and played rugby for Ulster Schools and cricket for Ulster and Irish Schools. After reading law at The Queen’s University, Martin was called to the Northern Ireland Bar and combined a thriving practice with rugby for the Academy Club and cricket for Woodva- le. In 1977 he found romance on the Academy Club tour to Canada and within a few years departed for San Francisco. He became an attorney at law and began legal practice in San Francisco, specializing in civil trial work. He joined The Irish Forum, an American organi- zation dedicated to the peaceful resolution of The Troubles and actively promoted debates among those with whose views he regularly disagreed.

  • II. Further Extensions and a Schools' Cup Win 1961-196937
    II. Further Extensions and a Schools’ Cup Win 1961-196937 THE CONTINUING GROWTH OF B.G.S. At a Special Meeting of the Board of Governors in June 1961, following Sam Claney’s retirement, Norman Handforth was elected Chairman of the Board. In anticipation of a further extension, it was also decided to set up three sub-committees for Finance, School and Buildings. Since Mr.Clarke’s appointment in 1954, when there had been 376 pupils in the secondary department, the School population had grown rapidly. Part of the explanation was that, in 1954 almost 30% had left school after Junior Certificate and there had been only a handful of pupils in Upper VI, whereas very few now left after Junior and there was an Upper VI of around 30 boys. By 1963 the School population had exceeded the 500 mark for the first time. 500 was, said Mr.Clarke, the ideal size. It was: ‘large enough to provide numbers for a variety of activities and a variety of subjects in the school curriculum. It is small enough to exist as an integrated family community, where all or most of the members know each other and where the sense of belonging to and being proud of a community can flourish’.40 In 1962 a new ‘Review’ procedure was introduced; if an unqualified pupil could show that he was ‘holding his own with qualified boys of his own age in at least six subjects’, he was granted a scholarship. Also in 1962, 11 out of the 27 unqualified boys in Lower IV gained scholarships, on the results of their Junior Certificate, an examination which was abolished in 1965.

    CHAPTER ELEVEN George Randall Mansfield Clarke, M.A., 1954-1975 I. Centenary Celebrations and the First Extension: 1954-19611 MR.CLARKE’S APPOINTMENT In April 1954, following advertisements in The Times Educational Supplement, as well as in the Belfast and Dublin press, eleven of the seventy applicants for the vacant Headmastership were invited for interview. These included Mr.Hawtin and Mr.R.E.Russell, who had been on the shortlist for the post seven years earlier, and four candidates from England. After over three hours of interviewing, these were reduced to four and then to two – W.R.Hutchinson, M.A., of Royal School Dungannon, and G.R.M.Clarke, M.A., Senior History Master and House Master at Campbell College. In the end, Mr.Clarke was the unanimous choice and Campbell College agreed to release him at the end of July 1954. George Randall Mansfield Clarke, son of Rev. and Mrs.W.T.Clarke, was a native of Southern Ireland; he was educated at Wesley College, Dublin and Methodist College, Belfast, where he played fullback on two Schools’ Cup winning teams. Having been awarded an Entrance Scholarship to Queen’s University, he graduated with an Honours degree in Modern History, later completing his Master of Arts degree. He returned to teach at Methody and after a period on the staff of Ballymena Academy where, when he had more hair, he was known as ‘Snowy’, he moved to Campbell College.2 In 1941 he wrote a widely used school textbook, A Short History of Ireland.

  • CHAPTER THIRTEEN Thomas W.Patton M.A., 1979-19981 I
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN Thomas W.Patton M.A., 1979-19981 I. The 1980s: A Decade of Change T.W.Patton, M.A., Dip.Ed. (1979-1998) MR.PATTON’S APPOINTMENT Thomas W.Patton was appointed Headmaster in May 1979, in succession to Dr.Rodgers. The Board of Governors' Minutes do not record the names of any other candidates. Mr.Patton was educated at Cabin Hill and Campbell College, where Randall Clarke had been his Housemaster, and he had been awarded an Open Entrance Exhibition to Trinity College Dublin in 1958. He had graduated in Classics four years later and was admitted to the degree of M.A. in 1974. Having briefly considered entering the church, he instead embarked on a career in teaching and, prior to coming to Bangor, had spent his entire career at his old school, where he had coached both the 2nd XV and the 2nd Cricket XI. A keen sportsman, he had played hooker in the 1958 Schools’ Cup final, when Annadale emerged victorious by 5 points to 3. He was also a member of the Ulster Rugby Referees' panel and had been Manager and Coach of the Ulster Squash Team that won the first Under-19 Inter-provincial. By the time he left Campbell College for Bangor, he was the Senior Master in charge of day boys, a Housemaster and Head of Classics. He had lived in Bangor for a number of years following his marriage and ‘counted among his qualifications that he was once a Connor House parent’. Interviewed by Q.Reford, M.Mawhinney and R.Maxwell, for The Gryphon, he expressed his support for school uniform (although he later adjudged airforce-blue duffle coats to be acceptable) and the Prefect system, his desire to see the establishment of a well- equipped Sixth Form Centre and to foster the happy relationship between the School and Gransha Boys' High School.
