RROGA HISTORY
– Margaret Dennis 1951 – 1966
Contributed by Elizabeth Wright
If you were at Rangi between 1951 and 1966, you’ll no doubt remember Mrs Dennis. Girls had many opportunities to know her as she taught a wide range of subjects - English, History, Social Studies, Scripture, Core Mathematics, Latin, French and German - and her extra-curricular activities included assembling and editing the school magazines; free choice groups including public speaking, current affairs; and elementary Civics and Economics. Archives has a hand-written letter from Mrs Dennis detailing her postgraduate law degree from Edinburgh University. Edinburgh Law School information details “This degree was only open to graduates, usually those who had studied for the M.A.(Arts) at a Scottish University or the B.A. at Oxford or Cambridge. Students of the LL.B. had to attend courses and be examined in Civil Law, Conveyancing, Public law, Constitutional law and History, and Medical Jurisprudence; Edinburgh was the only University to offer this degree for some time.”
