In the December 1955 edition of the Wheatlyan I am
welcomed to Bablake but no mention is made of the sad state of the Handicraft
Room.
By November I am co-opted for my first field trip
I am roped in for the Model Aicraft Club
My loyalties now lie with Bayley House but my sympathies
lie with the juniors who eschew physical activities.
School archives contain a 1937 drawing by Seaborne defining house colours.
In 1957 parents are AGAIN remined in vain that boys
are not to customize their suits
I suppose that to be termed irreplaceable is something
of an achievement.
The frontispiece Mr.Seaborne refer to is a photograph
of his featuring bowls turned on the handicraft room lathe by M.J.Cotton
and B.R.Daniells. Unsaid is the fact that one of the bowls was made by
Seaborne.
It appears that the Model Aicraft Club will miss
me.
1957 was a period of great emigration to Canada.
Coincidentally Dr.Angel became our physician when we moved to Toronto.
