CH music scores

2. Anyone know ehere I can find an organ (or piano as default) score for Sussex by the Sea?

Re: Expelled
I only discovered at an OB Day some years ago that someone senior to me in my own house had been sacked, allegedly for being caught with one of the domestics. The drill I think used to be that the miscreant was immediately sent off to the sicker to be isolated while arrangements were made for his re...

Re: CH Wall plaque/crest...previously for sale of ebay...
My settle fits just snugly behind the sofa and is hugely useful. Mrs stores old toys in it in case someone calls mit infant. I bought the settle in the OB Day sale when they and the desks were sold off. I was dissuaded by Mrs from buying a desk. The plaque is news to me but I seem to remember CH pla...

Policing the UF rule would have been fairly easy, as that was when you got your Broadie.

Re: First Day.....Last Day
Weird. I also arrived in September 1946 but have absolutely no recollection to match David Rawlins'. The first thing I recall was being in Prep B dayroom and a couple of bods introducing themselves. Also, my recollection is that anyone who was 3rd Parting or higher automatically got their Buttons on...

Re: THE LONG, LONG REACH OF C.H.
Corks was allegedly shifted by Flecker's successor who allegedly (again) complained that choral singing got an unfairly large share of the Director of Music. However the new Head may have wanted to get an alcohol problem off his hands, who knows? Corks was notorious for loading up in the Common Room...

Re: Dining hall birds
Wrong about doctors. Surgeons are always Mr as they descend from the barber surgeons of old. Consultant PHYSICIANS are Dr, just as they were when they were House Officers. Dentists adopted Dr a little while ago so as to be equal to fang-farriers in Europe and the US etc.

Re: school sergeant
.. 'Form Two Deep' .. except when parading to chapel when the House Captain would raise his right arm and then drop it to give the signal, presumably to prevent an unseemly bellow being heard within.

Re: CH dogs
My recollection is that 'Hibbing' was the mother of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine, of whom only Chlorine was maintained on the strength. At the same time (early 1950s) bl**dy Johnnie, the housemaster of Lamb A (A L Johnstone) had a spaniel called Iphegenia or Iffy. Lamb A disliked B Johnnie...

Re: SHOES !!!!!!
I've come late to this thread but one memory is the jumbo tin of polish kept in the bootroom. Polishing and showing up one's shoes every evening was part of learning to look after oneself and care about one's appearance. Only a few years after I had left it was clear this had gone by the board.

Is the 'deceased' list available on line? (Thinks - better check to make sure I'm not on it).

Re: Bad things you didnt get caught doing (Sausage in Communion)
I thought Kiff came from the German, like Spadge. Don't know how I picked this up.
Handles for cups only came in in the eighteenth century I think so I wonder if the kiff bowls pattern might be very old indeed. Like the settles.
