After 19 years' service to the School, Mr. Roy Marshall, the Bursar. retired on 31st August.

As the Head Master said in his Report on Speech Day, Mr. Marshall's "meticulous care, foresight and attention to detail has seen the School past difficulties into a healthy expansion. We are distressed that his poor health has caused his retirement a term earlier than we anticipated, and we send him our best wishes for retirement."

All who work in or are connected with St. Peter's will join in these wishes and thank Mr. Marshall for his friendly advice and help over many years.
