April 1936

65 This extract referred to the removal of the fence which followed the annexation of Clifton Grove field and half the present cricket field.

This was the beginning of a long period of expansion which was only equalled by the increase in the numbers in the School.

In 1914 the Pavilion and Shooting Range was added—the latter has since been covered; in 1918-19 Clifton Rise and Clifton Manor were acquired as boarding houses; the Swimming Bath was finished in 1922, and three years later additional playing fields. brought the School property to the river-side, where a temporary boat house (built during the last century) was soon replaced by one more worthy of the School; squash courts had already been completed, and to commemorate the 1300th Anniversary the new Library Block was opened. Finally came the recent New Buildings, opened in 1935. The vigour and foresight of the Head Master have been very evident throughout this rapid growth.

Peterites of past generations came to look upon the towers of the Big Hall as symbolic of everything the School meant to them.

Now has been added another symbol, and this central tower of the New Building joins with the twin towers of the old in gratitude to. the Head Master, who will shortly close a chapter of remarkableachievement in the history of the School.

The fruits have been equally remarkable and have thoroughly justified the care and energy with which the 'old tree and its new shoots' have been tended. It is impossible in the space of these pages to record the names of Old Peterites who have won outstanding honours during Mr. Toyne's regime : indeed, in any case such a list is bound to be invidious.
