Re: R Rae
I remember Rae well. I came across his name before I went to CH. 3 of us went to CH from my Junior school, and Ian Johnson told me that his Housemaster was Hip Hip, after which I was supposed to say, "Who?", and he would say "Rae". Ian became a member of Mensa and Professor at N...

Re: The school glider
I have vague recollections of the glider.

Re: Pongo - Eric Littlefield
I only remember him as a master who presided over the dining hall and ran the R.A.F. section of the CCF. He never taught me but I know he had a fearsome reputation.

Re: Dining hall dimensions
No idea of the dimensions.

Re: Windows Updates
I use Windows 10, and have had speed problem issues in the past after an update.
I received an update a few days ago which seems to have dealt with the speed problem.

Re: Elizabeth Cairncross
The only bullying in CMES's time was verbal and occasionally slight physical.
I never heard of food being denied.
It does seem things definitely got worse after my time.
