Here
is a scanned copy of the May 1968 edition of JRGS School Magazine, kindly
supplied by Victor Ross and scanned
by Paul Graham. Each of the images are
offered as individual JPEG files.
Paul Graham writes:
It's a hefty edition, with 46 pages. I have scanned the last eight pages of
advertisements
(pp. 39 thru 46) at 75 dpi rather than 150 dpi and they seem to
work okay. I imagine that the highlights are:
Mr. "Joe" Lowe's thoughts on the
impending end of grammar schools (in Croydon anyway), with Chris Chataway
as
guest speaker at Speech Day - his athletics colleague Chris Brasher died in
Late-February; a photo of the
Fairfield Halls in its heyday (page
7); more "Know Your Staff" (pages
10-
11), with the revelation that Mr.
"Wally" Cracknell was one of the
interviewees from the last mag; and a typically acerbic comment on the school
cricket team by Mr. "Smuts" Smith (page
36).
Many thanks to Victor Ross for supplying this edition. Victor
admits that he now cannot decode much more than
about 10% of his prefectorial
in-jokes on
page 38. |
