Not then indicating crucifiction by scientific establishment! |

This was in our dormitory, unfortunately I don't remember all names; top left is Munzinger, one of the 2 in the background is Veverka, I'm at the left bottom, in the right corner is Shoemaker from Holland. |
|
The hockey team, Barry Lawes 2nd row in the middle. |
|
This might be the cricket team, Shoemaker in the center. At least the year is documented: 1948 |
|
The entry hall, not to be used by the boys. |
|
About 1949/50, after the Olympia size pool was finished; in the background the Conservatory. After renovation the pool became the "Watergarden" & behind it an indoor pool was built. |
|
The church: Here, when time allowed, JHM in the Morning Service used to tell his young King's Scholars about his forefathers' adventures as captains on the high seas, e.g. how his grandfather sewed on the arm of one his sailors, who had lost it when in a dreadful storm he had fallen from a yardarm. Mrs Mosey, at such times, played magnificent songs on the organ, the bellows of which some prefects were allowed to operate. For more about the church of St Mary Magdalene. |
|
The gardens, where the pool was built in a great part by the pupils. |
|
The park, some sports going on. |
|
The "Lakes" when there were stil swans & even the little hydroelectric power station (not in the picture) was operating. |
These are supposed to be colour photos, the ANSCO films appeared on the market at that time.
45 minute candid view of life at school as Chris saw it.
Film footage taken at the time aged 14 to 17 or thereabouts - it is unedited but well worth a look. The numbers alongside some of the titles are the time in to the film in minutes and seconds. As Chris was behind the camera his is the one face you will not find. I would be grateful for any information about any of the segments and/or names of people featured there; I will add details to this page as I receive them, except Anecdotes will be placed elsewhere and linked through.
The link ink to the film is permanently down I will give a link to anyone who requests.
