Re: Response from the Head Master
Junior Common Room is something they have at Oxford and Cambridge Colleges for the under-graduates. I do not recall anything of that name for CH in our era at least. The nearest I can think of is that each junior house put together a choir for the annual singing competition. In Maine A I recall that...

Re: Letter to Head Master - the boat
The first boat was called The Empress of Blanding(s). It was a joint ownership with Burr as a part owner. He and other masters from CH used to take boys on day trips (I think it was Sundays). The boat was moored at Slough.... ....When Burr inherited from his mother he bought his own boat and had it...

Re: Chris Nicholson and other favourite masters...
I ran into Peter Webb (PJHW) over the summer, he tells me that Bomber got that name on account of his habit of wearing a bomber jacket in his early years.

Re: Secret Photos
We didn't have wash basins - we had a long trough so I suppose we had metal bowls for water. The loos (almost equally pubic) were behind the camera person. Ha, it so happens I have the view going the other way, from the bath as it were. The loo is behind the wooden screen at the end (still no door)...

Re: Bob Crawshaw's Photo's
Bob, you must have been in Maine A two years below my dad, Howard Holdsworth... Indeed. I was chatting to your dad on old blues day, though he was rather distracted at the time due to a failure of the electronic scoreboard at the cricket pavilion. He was senior monitor 68/69 and he hasn't changed m...

Re: Bob Crawshaw's Photo's
Thanks for the flashback, Bob - don't remember seeing any of those before. Interesting how many photos seem to involve some form of violence! I thought I had posted these others as well, maybe I had a senior moment, but Phil, I think you will particularly enjoy some of these:- Ajarn Philip in his y...

Re: Bob Crawshaw's Photo's
Sorry Bob. It seemed that you had started a general photo thread. No problem with that, but I thought it better to move to the HPHOTO'S Section. If you want me to re-name the thread with your photo's, I will willingly do so, though me and 'Er Indoors are off for a few days break at the seaside firs...

Re: Maine House Photos
Hard but fair is how I will always remember BSG. He was undeniably fond of wielding a gymshoe to a backside but it was invariably deserved, certainly in my case and I speak as one who received quite a few whacks, and he never bore a grudge. Once you were punished that was it - forgotten. One of my ...

Re: Holly Walsh
My spies informed me of the latest developments on this thread, and my solicitors will be contacting Mr Crawshaw shortly. Mrs Ajarn's only comment: "Why aren't you fat in the photo?" Bob was a very keen photographer, as I recall, and may well have a stack of interesting 'real life' CH pho...

Re: Col A photos 1970's
You can see all the photos by zooming out a bit, hold down "Ctrl" then press "-" once or twice. Eventually I will work out how to size the photos properly, I suspect their resolution is too high.
