Dear Dave,
I have followed for some time the HGS web site, which I think is the best and most detailed site for school in the whole country. I was a pupil from 1947 to 1955 and I note that I figure in one or two of the photos and articles from that period. I was much involved in the rugby and cricket teams, the school orchestra and choir. I chaired the Historical Society and was involved in the mock election of 1955. I think the date is right, but it could be 1954. I became the school's representative, beating no less than Mike Nurney the communist and two other candidates. I remember on the day of our presentations to the whole school, the three official candidates for Hemsworth constituency were invited and were present on the stage. Something that I have not seen mentioned in the records is the fact that the school took us on a visit to the Great Exhibition in 1951, a fantastic event, with the Skylon still a clear image in my mind. Recently I met up with Bill Baxendale who was a contemporary and made contact with Johnny Winters. Both were outstanding cricketers, though, as we know, they did not progress as well as Geoff Boycott another contemporary of ours.

I don't know what you do with this information, Dave, but I thought it was about time I made contact with, as I said, a web site of which I am very proud. I constantly point friends from other schools towards it. They can't match it.

First XV.
This year, although the 1st XV has not had an excellent season, it has been fairly successful. The weather has led to the cancellation of five fixtures. There were odd occasions when a bit more ‘devil’ might have come from the pack, but, on the whole, the side has played quite well as a team, and not, thank goodness, as a set of individuals. Although some of the lads went to the Yorkshire Trials at Christmas, no one was fortunate enough to obtain his place in the County Team.

Once again we have had a very successful season. The disadvantage of having no reliable spin bowlers was offset by the improved fielding of the 1st XI, the most outstanding fielder being McCroakam. The team was composed almost entirely of all round cricketers and had eight potential bowlers in the side. Noticeable were the all-round performances of Tickle, Yates, Boycott, Moore and Hebden. Out of the 10 games played, 6 were won, 2 were drawn and 2 were lost. I would like to thank Hambleton for his unfailing support as twelfth man, Butcher for his work as scorer and Mr. Rhodes for his care of the pitches.

Guest House Notes
As we are only at the end of the second term, we have not very much idea what our final position will be, but so far we have done quite well. Last term we were first in stars and stripes which made a pleasant change. This term we are third in hockey, first in netball and second in the cross-country run. We appear to have done quite well in the Music Competition too, and then there is the Junior Play to come. We would like to wish everyone luck in cricket, tennis and rounders matches. The main thing to remember is that everything counts, whether you do it in School or on the games field, so everyone must work hard again in the summer term. The thanks of the House are due to Miss Harris, Miss Carter, Miss Metcalfe, Mr. Jones, Mr. Farrar, Mr. Allan, Mr. Burnett and Mr. Combs for their help and encouragement in all our activities.

Holgate House Notes
Although our prospects of doing really well this year did not seem very great, we have done much of which we can be proud. The hockey team has had a most successful season and has won the cup - well done! The Senior Rugby team did not come up to our expectations but, thanks to the Juniors, we anaged to keep our head above water. Our final position was second. The netball team also reached this position. Unfortunately that ends the list of our chievements. Congratulations to the six gallant seniors who completed the cross-country course. We appreciate their courage. Apart from the successes mentioned, our progress this year has left much to be desired. There is still time to improve our position. Let us have more stars and fewer stripes next term, Holgate. The summer term is one in which Holgate usually shines. Quite a number of our cricketers have left but there are still enough with us to give our opponents a hard time. If the tennis team do as well as the hockey team, we shall be more than pleased - good luck to them. Athletics are usually our strong point. Do not let our reputation down, either before Sports Day, or on the Day itself.

Price House Notes
We have not done well enough so far this year. We have only managed to gain second place in rugger and cross-country, and third in netball. In hockey the girls have won two matches out of five. Credit here must go to the Juniors who have won both their matches. The Seniors, it must be said, have disappointed us but we know (or we hope) they have done their best. Stripes have been kept down this year but co-operation is still needed from a handful of stripe-gatherers. Can these people take note that two of last term's worst offenders have made a marvellous recovery and now lead the way in star-gathering? The approach of the Summer term opens yet another field for the talents of Price House sportsmen and Sportswomen, and it is in these spheres that we hope we shall excel. Scholastic efforts must not be overlooked in the forthcoming term. We wish all Price House S.C. (School Certificate) and H.S.C. (Higher School Cert.) candidates the best of luck. It is also up to Price House pupils to try and keep in the top half of the form in ordinary schoolwork. In past years we have been very lucky in possessing outstanding individuals to bring honours to Price House, but this year, lacking such people, we must endeavour to pull together. Remember, Price, every point helps towards the blue ribbon being placed around the Challenge Cup for yet another year. This year we have already welcomed Miss Whitworth and Mr. Haynes to Price House, and we should like to thank them, together with Miss Wimpenny, Mr. Manning, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Stockhill, for their untiring help and encouragement throughout the year. We regret that Mr. Johnson and Mr. Haynes will be leaving us at the end of the year, but we wish them every success in their new posts.

Talbot House Notes
Once more we are coming to the end of a School year which has been on the whole, quite successful. The matter of stars and stripes still needs watching, although we can report a distinct improvement this term. On the Sports field there have been both successes and disappointments. The boys in particular have done very well indeed, winning both the Rugby Cup and the Cross-Country - both results of team spirit. The girls had hard luck as regards the Hockey Cup, but no comment is necessary on the netball results. Bright hopes are entertained for next year's attractions, namely cricket, tennis, rounders, Sports Day and the Swimming Gala, and we feel sure Talbot will feature prominently in most, if not all of them. Special mention must be made of Mr. Storer, who, after twenty-six most valuable years of service both to the House and the School is unfortunately leaving us. We feel sure that past and present members of Talbot House wish him much happiness in his well-earned retirement. We regret, too, the transfer of Miss Whitworth to Price House and feel sure they have made a very good acquisition. Our thanks are also due to Miss Horsfield, Miss Jackson, Mrs. Copley, Mr. Atack, Mr. Foy, Mr. Swinbank (especially for his Rugby advice) and Mr. Owen for the unfailing support and encouragement they have given us throughout the year.

As a pupil I was taught by these Members of Staff 1948 onwards. Very Happy Memories. They were different out of the classroom and as members of the House system.

3. Summer and Sports Day/Parents' Day activities.
Summer had its share of events too; Sports Day and its excitement; the Country Dance Festival and its gaiety and prettiness. The many people walking about the grounds, the gaily-coloured dresses under the brilliant sun which usually favoured us, the races, the tug-of-war, the exhibitions, the tennis and cricket matches, all went to make everlastingly memorable occasions. And then the night of the Country Dance Festival with hundreds of people dancing on the Cricket Pitch, the Maypole, the Sword-Dances, the popular "Goddesses", "Picking-up-Sticks" and finally the many circles of cheery, laughing people dancing "Sellenger's Round". One summer term we saw a play, in one scene of which the couch from the Girl Prefects' Room was used. The heroine sat on it and patted it as an invitation to the hero to sit beside her. Do you remember the howls as clouds of dust rose as a result of her gentle patting?

Then pictures of our lovely, envied grounds come into my mind. I see them transformed into a fairyland in winter. The branches and delicate twigs of the huge trees suddenly form lacy patterns with pure, soft snow. The plot between the two paths to School is ceaselessly beautiful. It makes a carpet for the frail, shy snowdrops, then come the triumphant golden daffodils, and the deep, glorious colour of masses of bluebells and the warm gold and mauve of overwhelming beauty, the honey suckle, roses, rhododendrons, the stately waving borders of lupins and delphiniums, and the wild beauty of the quarry from its tall shrubs and trees to the daisies which cover the lawn. Memories of all these flowers rush into my mind. I can see them in the brilliant sunshine, under cloudless skies and also standing brave and firm on warm, wet, dark days when the sombre, heavy green of the trees and lawns form an entirely different background.
