Series III - Number 9

Here is a scanned copy of the Spring 1951 edition of JRGS School Magazine, kindly supplied by Mike Marsh and imaged by Paul Graham (JRGS 1959-66). Each of the images are offered as individual JPEG files.

 

Paul Graham writes: Some interesting views by Mr. Lowe on the "new" GCE system and the end of the old School Certificate (page 4 and page 5); looking forward to a school trip to the 1951 Festival of Britain; the founding of the Army Cadet Force by "AWB" - Mr. A. W. Badcock (apparently it helped prepare you for National Service); two Fifth formers cycling to Cornwall on holiday (page 18 and page 19, how times change); and a mysterious poem by a member of staff on page 34 giving the flavour of the staff room (WAC - who he?). And I wonder where Mr. "Wally" Cracknell's gift to the school library of a leather-bound set of Dickens (page 9) got to when the school eventually closed?
  Mike Marsh adds: Mr. Badcock and Mr. Alexander ran the Army Cadet Force together for a short while, until Mr. Badcock left and the latter too over.
