Wilkes Walton (1936) writes: Johnnie Norman was a superb athlete, running at County level whilst still at school. After he was killed his parents gave a cup for the Cross Country. I was the first winner on the last day of the Spring Term, 1944. I am proud to say I still have the miniature on my sideboard in memory of Johnnie.
