We welcome two new members of the Staff this term - Mr RH Brown OBE B.Sc, who has been a Squadron Leader in the RAF, and Mr IR Bell BA, who served as a Captain in the Intelligence.

We also have to bid farewell to Mr RH Brown who came to us in the Summer Term of 1946.

He has done equally invaluable work in the Science subjects and also in Cricket, Soccer and Swimming. Not least, we are grateful to him for his excellent photographs. We would like to wish him and Mrs Brown every success and happiness in Durban, South Africa.

Mr RH Brown has been moved to a school at Broken Hill, Rhodesia, where by a curious coincidence Mr Unger happens to be Acting Headmaster. Mr Unger was studying teaching methods in our school last term and we hear that, in a recent inspection at Broken Hill, SGS curricula and timetables were copiously quoted from.
