  • 1964 Magazine
    WYMONDHAM COLLEGE 1964 MAGAZINE ALDERMAN SAM PEEL It is with deep regret that we record the death of Alderman Sam Peel, who was Chairman of the Norfolk Education Committee from 1941 until March of this year and a Governor of the School from its opening in 1951 until his death on the 18th May ; in his passing the school has lost one of its best friends and supporters . His name is indelibly linked with Wymondham College, for the first permanent building, named Peel Hall, contains within its walls the foundation stone laid by him in July, 1955 . He worked persistently for the causes that seemed to him worthwhile-the advancement of Wymondham College was one of them and rejoiced whole- hearted in their good fortune and success . Few men have been so free from a desire for personal aggrandisement. Above all he was steadfast in his friendships and possessed a kindliness that made it natural for him to give help where help was needed . Those of us who were fortunate enough to know him, will remember him especially for the inspiring addresses he gave in College Chapel . R.V.M. Volume 2, Number 1 .
