Archival anecdote

Jan Haswell, Robin Holyman wearing the rare tracksuit, and Brian Smith

A rare find

Worn by 1954 Captain of Athletics, Robin Holyman is this featured tracksuit, with only three of its kind ever owned by a Launceston Grammar student. The photograph, which depicts Robin in the middle, was taken as part of an ANZAC Day Sports event at York Park in Invermay.

The tracksuit was purchased by Robin’s father, Keith who provided the remaining two to Arnold Gunther, the 1953 Captain of Athletics and a champion sprinter, and Brian Smith, Captain of Athletics from 1955 to 1957.

The tracksuit, which received a special treatment with the acronym LCGS sewn on by his mother, Jean can be viewed within the Senior Campus Café 1846 archive display as part of the 175-year celebrations. The display features many of the uniforms worn by Broadland House and Launceston Grammar students.
