Anecdote:

When I was Second Monitor of Thornton B, a newish junior spent the evening until about 11.30 being sick. As things didn't seem to be improving, I decided he might be seriously ill, so I roused the matron, who said: Might be too many sour apples, might be appendicitis. And decided he should go to the sicker. We then found that no ThB housemaster seemed to be in residence, so we roused Stan Malone, who drove us there in his dressing gown. As we returned, the ThB junior housemaster Peter Austin Jones arrived from London (he wasn't on duty) and was rather apologetic (though he had no reason to be). The boy survived.

Thought it would have been much easier in a car !!

Unless memory fails me, Stan Malone was junior housemaster to Bwana Goodal in Ba B in 65/66 when it was mid transfer from mixed to Junior House.

Also, wasn't PAJ a prison visitor?

Aren't you confusing him with DJD, who certainly was?

I think you are correct, Michael.

Maybe they both were.

[NEILL THE NOTORIOUS]

Thre are those, whom we remember, who took their time at CH to be at the service of the Pupils, without regard to their personal comfort or "Duties"

We all remember them with affection , -- and perhaps those who did not -- with less affection.

No names --- no pack-drill !

Sorry to read this.

I didn't have very much to do with him as I was in a different house and have no recollection of him teaching me. I scraped a grade 6 in physics with chemistry "O" level, the lowest pass, so was pretty poor and probably not good enough to be taught by one of the senior science masters of the time.

My only dealings with him were in his capacity as Careers Master.
