Here is an extract from her letter:111 noticed in your last notice Susan Acland's name.

She was :in my class during our "reign" at the School and often wonrler what happened to her and indeed others of that period..

It m ight be of interest to some members who knew me that I married the boy I met when at Raines.

We met at County Hall at a lecture for Physics and Chemistry arranged by L.c.c. (as i t was then) for pupils studying for 'O' levels.

It did 1 nt help me pass the exam but I did meet my husband!

He passed and went on to London University.

He is n<."" Lecturer in Statistics at Woolwich Poly. and studying part-time at University of Kent at Canterbury for his Ph.D. We have two children - a boy and a girl.

Hy little boy was born in 1965 in London hospital where I met another Old Raineian, Pat JEAKIN (nee BARRA'IT) who also had a son - she lives in Romford.

Sandra was appointed as the Association's Girls' Secretary at the Annual General Meeting on 17th Harch.

The International Chairman called it the biggest and best Assembly to date, which is gratifying.n Len is now vice chairman of the International Committee, and continues as editor of the International magazine.

He was awarded the Scout Medal of Herit earlier this year.

Norman Kindler (1943/48) of 5 Biscoe Way, Lewisham, S.E.13. who is a Company Director of Retail Fashion Shops writes:"Nothing very exciting.

Present age 36. Ma.rrjed in 1963.

One child 8 months (daughter).

Predicted as a complete and utter failure by Mr. Dagger - sometimes when tr'ade is bad I am inclined to agree with him!

Rarely see any. of my old class mates.

They are either in prison or reaching the giddy heights of success in the professions.

We were a mixed bag.

One small item that was interestinr.- to me was that some few years ago on a visit to relations in Ne~ Zealand I came across a chap in Wellington wearing an Old Raineian 1 s tie.

I stopped and chatted to him and sure enough he was an Old Raineian who had emigrated (a doctor).

For the life of me I just can't remember his name.

Small world really!"

Willie G. Pickering (1912/1916) who has been retired since 1965 reached his 69 birthday on the 27th June and wrote to the Secretary earlier this year.

The following is an extract from his letter:"! have never married or attained any position of distinction.

Served in Royal Navy during 1914-18 War. Also on ammunition work in school metalwork shop during that war so escaping many impositions.

Strangely enough, worked as a Bus Conductor for 42 years mainly along Commercial Road, sometimes picking up my old form Master Mr. H,S,Browning, for whom I had a great regard, who once added ";.,Juch too talkative" to my report.

Naturally I began my time in the old school in Cannon Street Road when we did Cadet drill with wooden rifles under the instruction of Mr. Sergeant.

One silly thing I used to do.

I always wanted to be a help to my form Master and chose to do it in a peculiar way.

I deliberately talked to be detained after school hours and therefore was given jobs to do - but Mr. Browning did not see through this ruse and thought he was punishing me!

It was a sad time however when our fin.e fellow and Gym. Instructor Capt. j.P.P. Walker was killed on active service.

You must admit I have a good memory, even to the initials and I can also remember the master's voices!

All in all it was a wonderful time in my life and I have done my utmost to ljve up to our Motto - 11 Come in and learn your duty to God and man 11 • 11 Alec D. Taylor (1917/1922) writes:11 I have before me diaries which I have 1-.rri tten up daily for 50 years from 1919/1969 and in case some entries will awaken memories for Old Boys I quote a sample:-

Once a week he lectures at the Kenya Polytechnic where the Insurance Institute have a Course for new' recruits.

He can usually be found at the Friends Provident, or at Nairobi Cathedral where he sings with the Choir.

His telephone number is Nairobi 23738.

REW2_FR~_[EW ZEALA!~· (Source Ted and Harry SCOTT) To their knowledge there are only four Old Raineians in New Zealand - Bob ATTWELL (known as Ginger in the days of the O.R. Rugby Club), Ted SCOTT (1922-9), his brother Harry (1914-19) and Harry's son Don SCOTT (1939-44).

Bob has settledin the South Island at ChristchuPch. He has a· numerous family and lives on a couple of acres of land which he works as a small market garden.

Harry SCOTT moved to New Zealand in 1952 and lives in St. Hilliers, a seaside suburb about 15 minutes drive from Auckland.

He works with the other member of the family, Ted, for the Shaw Sav{lle Line - an English Shipping Line.

Ted lives in Hawick, also a marine suburb which is reminiscent of the London green belt. Don lives in yet another marine suburb within easy reach of Auckland.

He has, with some assistance from his wife, acquired four children.

Motoring is still a pleasure in New Zealand with petrol at 39 cents (3/7d) per gallon, registration at 17 dollars (£7-10-0) and Comprehensive Insurance at 25 dollars (£12-10-0) for £700 cover.

Once clear of the City congestion, which takes 5 - 10 minutes, a drive is unimpeded to destination.

One setback is that the standard of driving is appalling. fONGRATULATIONS T~_LSamuel BREWER : St. Andrews University - Astro Physics.
