The Dorkinian - 1963 THE DORKINIAN - 1963 EDITORIAL This year the official school magazine has found itself faced with several rivals in the shape of a school newspaper and several form magazines run by enterprising juniors. Theoretically this would have provided healthy competition for all concerned, but in reality, it did not work as well as it should have done. The school newspaper after a moderate first issue produced a mediocre second issue and faded into nothing. The juniors, quite wisely, decided on the whole, to have nothing to do with school activities and restricted themselves to magazines for entertainment, which still left the field for comment on school affairs and activities open to the Dorkinian. Now should a school magazine restrict itself to facts and figures, followed by some work of more or less literary value, or should it reflect the attitude of the school to the years' happenings? Should it allow reports of school activities to be presented with a definite viewpoint—that of the school? At the moment, the experiment of the School newspaper, successful or not, has shown us that there is room for a change in policy. The school newspaper failed without official support, and as things stand, official support is necessary to the success of most ventures of any importance in the school. But the label "official" does not immunise the bearer from real contact with the school as a whole. Activities, official and unofficial, should be presented with more interest for the school. A move in this direction has already been made and we hope that in future years there will be more room for innovation. In Memoriam ALBERT BENJAMIN TITMARSH Dorking Grammar School 1946 – 1962 Soon after the end of the Summer Term 1962 the school was shocked and saddened by the news of the death of Mr Titmarsh, after a very short illness. Mr Titmarsh had served the school since leaving the R A.F. in 1946, and had been Senior Geography Master since the retirement of the late C. W. Goffin in July 1953. He was an energetic and inspiring teacher, and was always ready to devote his spare time to helping his pupils in their work and games. His loss to the life of the School will be hard to repair. To his friends and colleagues his death was a stunning blow, and they will long remember him with affection for his kindness and his unselfish helpfulness to others. Above all, every sympathy must be felt for Mrs Titmarsh, formerly Miss M. Henderson, whose marriage to Mr Titmarsh only a few months before his death had brought so much happiness to them and to their friends. SCHOOL NOTES, 1962-63 For the third year in succession there have been no major changes in the school buildings. However, the new cricket nets were made available for use at the end of the Spring Term and they should stimulate interest in the game. Many boys, both senior and junior, have taken advantage of the new tennis courts on the north side of the school. Although the boys' uniform has remained unchanged the girls now have a new summer dress. The girl prefects' dresses have also been changed owing to last year's material's being discontinued. During the Autumn Term R. J. O'Hara Murray produced the first School Newspaper. Perhaps inspired by this example several junior forms have produced their own form newspapers. These are praise- worthy efforts indeed and it is to be hoped that they will be continued next year. At the end of this term we will be losing Miss G. M. Reekie, who is getting married and will then teach at Brentwood High School for Girls. Miss G. J. Evans, to whom we offer our sincere thanks for deputising at such short notice for the late Mr Titmarsh, is returning to Canada. During this term Mrs K. E. Wallace has left us owing to her husbands' ill health and Mrs C. E. Neale is kindly filling the breach for the rest of the term. Miss D. M. Baxter is also leaving us and is moving to Brighton. Next term we shall welcome Mr D. K. Kimber, M.A. (Cantab.), who is at present at Lawrence Sheriff Grammar School, Rugby, to teach Geography as a permanent replacement for Mr Titmarsh. Taking over from Miss Reekie will be Miss P. W. Barker, N.D.D., A.T.C., from Brighton School of Art An additional member of the full-time staff next year will be Miss E M. Pleass, B.Sc. (Bristol), who is at present teaching at Redland High School, Bristol. Miss Pleass will teach Biology. There will also be two new part-time members of staff next September. Mrs C. B. Simpson, B.A. (Liverpool) will teach French, English and Music, while Mrs O. M. Spurr, B.A. (Durham) will teach History, Geography and English. Mr J. Jones joined us in May and will help the coaching of both cricket and football. Mr Jones, a Surrey 2nd XI player, will be an enormous help to the younger boys. As usual we shall lose our two foreign assistants, Mlle. Silice and Fraulein Franke, who will be returning to their respective countries. We hope that they have enjoyed their stay as much as we have. In their place next year we shall have Mlle. Gonin and Fraulein Wessolek. We, the school, would like to take this opportunity of paying our last tribute to Mr Titmarsh who died so suddenly and tragically last August. Both as a teacher and a man he was a great inspiration. This year, owing to its increased size, the Upper Sixth has been split in two, as U.6 Arts and U.6 Science. The division, although inevitable, is an undesirable one and the Upper Sixth has regrettably lost some of its atmosphere. This year French has been introduced as a non-examination subject to those members of the Science Sixth who are not doing German. Next year Religous Instruction will be taught as an 'A' level subject. As in previous years Mr Bradshaw will be in charge of the school scout troop when they go to camp at Eskdale, Cumberland, during the first fortnight of the Summer holidays. Once again Mr Wolff is organizing an exchange for some of our pupils with German children from Hamburg schools. The German pupils arrive on July 10th, and we hope they enjoy their stay in this country. We would like to thank Mr Bradshaw and Mr Wolff for their con- tinued work and interest in their respective fields. Every pupil who has been in the scout troop or in an exchange will echo our sentiments when we say "Thank you". On July 11th Miss Barter is taking a Sixth Form party to the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford to see "The Tempest". On Sports Day, July 17th, the trophies will be presented by Dr E. A. Dyson, M.B.E. Next year's school play will be "The Cabinet Minister" by A. W. Pinero and will be performed on November 28th, 29th and 30th, 1963. This year, the Chairman of the Parents' Association is Mrs J. L. Cornell and the President of the Old Dorkinian Association is Mr R. Harding. This year there have been 648 pupils in the school, an increase of 23 on last year. At this years' G.C.E. examinations, 80 sat for the Advanced Level, the results of which will be available about August 14th, and 128 sat for the Ordinary Level, the results of which will be known about August 21st. Next year's dates are :- AUTUMN TERM : 10th September to 20th December. SPRING TERM : 8th January to 25th March. SUMMER TERM : 20th April to 24th July. Catherine Dryer and J. R. Herrick upheld the School's tradition by gaining places at Oxford and Cambridge. Catherine Dryer will be reading French at St Anne's College, Oxford, while J. R. Herrick will he reading History at Trinity College, Cambridge. Congratulations are also due to J. C. Hudson who gained an open Exhibition at Southampton University and to Janet Birkin who, as a result of examinations taken in early May, gained a place at the French Lycee in London. The following members of the Upper Sixth hope to go to university, college of advanced technology or training college next year.
