The President: Dr Colin Niven OBE Palmes académiques (52-60) ..........................................................................................................

There, he taught Tony Blair who later, as Prime Minster, opened the three Dulwich Colleges in China. Next, in Sherborne, Colin ran the Modern Languages department. This would lead eventually to his being the founding headmaster of Sherborne, Doha. (The Emir had been a pupil in the mother school in Dorset.) Since Dulwich days, when he was a Sergeant Major and won the Christison sword, he had been keen on the CCF and at Fettes had been attached to the Royal Scots; at Sherborne he served with the Devons and Dorsets. When Principal of Island School, Hong Kong, he gained a doctorate from Lille University, played rugby and hockey for the Hong Kong international veterans, and was a book critic on the radio.

Colin Niven was the second of three brothers at Dulwich, Peter being the eldest and Alastair the youngest. The sons of a City of London policeman, they benefited greatly from the Gilkes Experiment. Mr Gilkes was Master in Colin’s first year, followed by Mr Groves. His brothers and he won State Scholarships and Exhibitions to Caius College, Cambridge. Colin captained an unbeaten 2nd XV, played his final game for the 1st XV, and was three years in the hockey XI. He won his weight at boxing and high jumped for the athletics team. More than his studies or his sport, though, his supreme love has been for cats! While School Captain, Colin supervised form JC, a thoughtful move by the Master that encouraged him to teach French and German. He started in the Lycée in Châlons sur Marne, then in Samuel Pepys Comprehensive in Deptford and in his own primary school, Dulwich Hamlet. During his Dip Ed course at Brasenose College, Oxford, Colin was sent to Sedbergh, where he helped Alan Barter, who had coached him at Dulwich, with the rugby. After spells in Dax, Bourges, Caen and Bamberg, he returned to Edinburgh, the city of his birth in 1941, to work at Fettes, where he became a housemaster.

4

He wrote studies of Voltaire, Thomas Mann and Roger Vailland and now judges the Duke of Edinburgh’s English Award and, as a governor of the English Speaking Union, judges the Marsh Prize for Children’s Literature in Translation. He has helped judge the Miss World pageant three times and as a volunteer assisted the anti-doping section in the equestrian events at the recent Olympic Games. Colin became Principal of St George’s Rome, which Brian Howes (OA) had run, and then returned to Dulwich to be Headmaster of Alleyn’s and later President of its former pupils’ association, the Edward Alleyn Club, making his current role in the Alleyn Club a unique double. He then, as Master of Dulwich Colleges China, started the school in Shanghai and helped to set up those in Beijing and Suzhou. Recently, he visited the site of Dulwich College Singapore and attended a delightful OA dinner there. In May he returns for the tenth anniversary of Dulwich College Shanghai. An eighth headship took him to start St George’s British Georgian School in Tbilisi, completing 50 years in teaching. Now President of the Dulwich Society, a Friend and former Trustee of the Dulwich Picture Gallery and a lifelong member of St Barnabas Church, he owes a huge debt to the College and the local community, and following a succession of brilliant Alleyn Club Presidents, hopes to emulate their splendid enthusiasm and commitment.

From the Secretary’s Desk

.......................................................................................................... Definitions Alleynian n. member of Dulwich College [E Alleyn, founder] benefactor n. patron of or donor to a cause or charitable institution philanthropist n. lover of mankind; one who exerts himself for the well-being of his fellow men philanthropy n. love, practical benevolence towards mankind [Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English; 4th edition] Whether or not there was any truth in the Puritan legend that, while portraying the character of Faustus in Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, Edward Alleyn had a vision of the Devil which drove him to repent and resolve to found a College of God’s Gift, there is no denying that his establishing of the College was an act of outstanding philanthropy. I would like to suggest that a silver thread of philanthropic endeavour has been and continues to be woven into the tapestry that is the near-400-year history of Alleyn’s College. One has only to think of the inspirational leadership and example set by Arthur Herman Gilkes, Master of Dulwich College from 1885 to 1914, who founded the College Mission in Camberwell in 1886 and encouraged boys and staff to become involved in the enterprise. OAs of a ‘certain age’, like me, will doubtless remember the regular form collections for the Mission to which we subscribed (more or less willingly) throughout our schooldays. A number of circumstances, not least the remarkable generosity of Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) in funding the salaries of the youth workers at the Hollington Club, led to the breaking of the quasi-umbilical link between young Alleynians and the Mission about 45 years ago. Charitable fundraising by boys at the College assumed a much wider focus. However, times and circumstances change. ILEA ceased to exist in 1988, since when the cost of running the Hollington Club for Young People (HCYP) has increasingly been met by grants from DCM Hollington Trust, whose investment portfolio is founded on those schoolboy Mission collections of yesteryear and current donations by OAs.

I am most happy to record that, encouraged by the Master and the College Chaplain, the Revd Stephen Padfield, the link between the current generation of Alleynians and HCYP has been re-forged and that boys in the Middle and Upper Schools raised in excess of £5,000 for the club during the course of Michaelmas term 2012 and Lent term 2013. HCYP also benefited from the retiring collection taken at the College Christmas carol service in Southwark Cathedral and part proceeds from the Friends of Dulwich College 2013 Winter Fair. Conscientious readers of this annual publication (and aren’t we all?) will find reference in these pages to other examples of Alleynian and Old Alleynian benevolence. Yet more evidence will be found in the College’s first Donors’ Report for 2012-13, an impressive document recording the thanks of the College to the many OAs, current and former members of staff, parents and others who had supported the College during the year. I was particularly struck by page 36 of the report which is headed Pupil Benefactors and lists the 24 forms and 63 individual pupils who had made donations to the College. The philanthropy of these young Alleynians should be applauded loud and clear. I must also draw to your attention the fact that the Alleyn Club committee, guided by the Club trustees, decided to donate £40,000 from Club funds to the appeal for The Laboratory for the rebuilding of the Science Block.

Alleyn Club News

Founder’s Day The Revd James Welldon instituted Founder’s Day in 1884 as ‘the chief festival of the school year’, with an eye to creating esprit de corps with traditions to pass on to future years. [Jan Piggott, Dulwich College: A History 1616-2008] Founder’s Day in its present format dates back to 1995 when it was revived by Jan Piggott and John Bardell after several years of decline. Master of Ceremonies (chairman of the Founder’s Day committee) for the past 14 years, Simon Northcote-Green, has now stepped down and is succeeded by Peter Jolly (73-80), Director of Drama. Peter and I met shortly before Christmas when he sketched out his sequence of themes for the six Founder’s Days leading up to 2019: • 2014: the school leavers of 1914; commemoration of OA involvement in the Great War • 2015: Shackleton and Exploration • 2016: the Chapel and all things Jacobean (Alleyn, Henslowe, Shakespeare) • 2017: Dulwich and Science (completion of new science facilities) • 2018: the end of World War I • 2019: 400 years of Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift, 1619-2019 Peter is keen that OAs should become involved in the planning of these themes and would welcome hearing from anyone with a specific interest, or in possession of documents or photographs that they would be prepared to loan to the College ([email protected]). You will also find in this newsletter an invitation from Dr Nick Black, Head of Middle School and Chair of the Dulwich College 400 committee, an invitation to share thoughts and queries about these and other aspects of our heritage to be commemorated between now and 2021 (see p11.) Another aspect of Founder’s Day we discussed was the lunch. When, in 1970, lunch was first laid on for OAs, it was held in the Christison Hall and it was not until the mid-1980s that it moved to the College’s newlypurchased marquee. Again, times and circumstances change. The College no longer owns its own marquee (midnight raiders stole the valuable metal framework many years ago) and the high cost of hiring a marquee large enough to accommodate some 300 lunching (split roughly 50 : 50 OAs and their guests : official guests of the College) and essential catering services has become difficult to justify at a time when the College has to watch every penny as it seeks to complete the rebuilding of the Science facilities and prepare the campus for the celebrations in 2019. Although no decision has yet been taken, it is likely that lunch

6

will return to the Christison Hall this year. The good news is that it is intended to reinstate the highly popular buffet service, so much missed in 2013. A smaller marquee may well form a focus for some aspect of the day as well as the venue for afternoon tea. I know from speaking to both Peter and the Master that the moving of lunch should not be seen as sidelining OAs. Far from it, OA presence and involvement on Founder’s Day will be welcomed and valued every bit as much as previously, if not more.

Alleyn Club Matters In my ‘end of term report’ last year, I awarded the Alleyn Club committee B+ grades for both Effort and Achievement to mark advances made towards making the Club more relevant to its members and supporting the College in its work of preparing present and future generations of Alleynians for life in the outside world. This year, to reflect further advances, while leaving room for still further progress, I have decided to award the committee A- grades. However, within those overall classifications, A grades go to James Thornton and James Franklin and their hardworking assistants (especially Guy Lawrenson and Katie Cullen in the Alleyn Club and Development Office) who hit the jackpot by filling the Great Hall to its 240 capacity for the Annual Dinner on 1 November and, by attracting considerably increased numbers in the 25-55 age bracket, succeeded in reducing the average age to 56. At the same time, I award straight A grades across the board to our 2012-13 President, Brigadier Johnny Walker, in recognition of his: • outstanding leadership in planning and executing a successful campaign to have added to the College War Memorial the names of OAs who have died in active service since WWII and that of one OA killed during WWI and previously unrecorded • having the Battle of Britain memorial plaque in the Lower Hall amended to indicate which OA airmen had lost their lives either in that conflict or later during the war • having the full military honours of Colonel Humphrey Arthur Gilkes (the second of the four sons of A H Gilkes) MC and three bars spelt out beneath his memorial plaque in the Lower Hall • having secured for display in the Lower Hall the previously-missing WWI service medals for Lt R B B Jones VC • passionate advocacy of support for the College’s development campaign through membership of the Canon Carver Society and the 2019 Society • enthusiastic attendance at numerous Club, affiliated OA society and College events.

Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Alleyn Club

.......................................................................................................... Held on Friday 1 November 2013, 6.30pm in the Board Room, Dulwich College Present Brigadier E J W Walker OBE DL (51-59) President (in the chair) Dr C H R Niven OBE Palmes académiques (52-60) Vice President

Having welcomed the Club’s financial support for the Development Office, I F Hay Davison CBE enquired about the Club’s approach to discounting the Life Fund. In response, T J Birse (an actuary by profession who has advised the committee for some years) stated that anticipated greater life expectancy might be sufficient reason to reduce the discounting from 2% to 1.9% per annum. However, he recommended keeping to 2% and reviewing the policy every five years. The adoption of the accounts was proposed by I F Hay Davison CBE and seconded by the Ven Canon P R Turner CB DL.

D R Branscombe, D A Emms OBE, J R Walters 1. Approval of the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 2 November 2012, which had been printed in the Yearbook and were available at the meeting, was proposed by R H Walker, seconded by T J Birse and carried unanimously. The Minutes were duly signed as a correct record. 2. T  he Accounts for 2012 were issued to all present. The Hon Treasurer drew attention to the welcome increase of some £11,800 in gross dividends on investments and the reduction of some £8,000 in the cost of producing and distributing the Yearbook. Set against those two positive numbers was the contribution by the Club to the salary of an additional member of the Alleyn Club and Development Office team (£7.3k for seven months in 2012) employed by the College specifically to support the work of the Club. Even so, the surplus for the year was £10,166, an increase of £6,478 over 2011. He also pointed to the growth in the valuation of the investment fund over a five-year period from £637k to just over £1m at current prices. Of that growth, 60% was attributable to increase in the markets and 40% to the annual addition of new Life Subscriptions. He warned that such a rate of growth was unlikely to be sustainable in the future.

£2,000 to Alleynian Sailing Society to cover charter fee for boys’ sail training week Approval of the grants was proposed by A T Frankford, seconded by J R Williams and carried unanimously. 4.

.......................................................................................................... Dulwich College 400 The Master recently convened a committee to oversee the College’s plans to celebrate the 400th anniversary of its foundation in 1619. The overall plan is for the College to mark a number of significant anniversaries over the period 2014 to 2021, including: the centenary of the start of the Great War (in which 508 Alleynians and four members of staff fell) and of the Shackleton Antarctic expedition involving the James Caird rescue; the 150th anniversary of the Barry Buildings (1866-70); the 400th anniversary of the consecration of the Chapel (1616), the foundation of the College (1619) and the first recorded play at the College (1621). The committee is looking at a number of ways in which we can commemorate these events, including exhibitions (actual and online), concerts, sporting events and plays. The theme of Founder’s Day in 2014, falling on 28 June, the very day of Franz Ferdinand’s visit to Sarajevo, will be ‘the spirit of 1914’. We are also starting to develop an oral history project about the College and are looking for OAs who might like to get involved. Please contact the College Archivist, Calista Lucy ([email protected]), if you would like to be interviewed, and suggest a topic as this will help with our planning. For example, we are keen to meet anyone involved with the painting of the hammer and sickle on the side of the North Block in the 1960s! More details will follow, but if you have any ideas or views about these commemorations, please email Dr Nick Black on [email protected]. Dr N D Black Head of Middle School and Chair of the Dulwich College 400 Committee

The following pages contain a roundup of news from Old Alleynians received in 2013. Many OA news stories are also carried on the College’s website throughout the year. If you would like to share your own news with the OA community then please contact us via [email protected]. Shahab Ahmad (94-99) married Deborah Marchant at the College on Saturday 8 June 2013, with the service taking place in the Old Library. Professor Ewan Anderson (49-56) will be exhibiting some 30 of his botanical drawings, including the 12 heritage trees he was commissioned to draw for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, in Durham Cathedral between 5 and 26 May 2014. Lionel Barber (66-73), Editor of The Financial Times, returned to the College in October 2013 to address the Sixth Form and distribute prizes for academic and cocurricular achievements in 2012-13. In the same month, he generously hosted the first meeting of the OAs in The City professional interest group at the Southwark Bridge offices of The Financial Times (see page 49 for details). Billy Barron (05-10), who is studying at the University of Pennsylvania, is fly-half and co-captain of the university rugby team.

In May 2013, Colin Barrow CBE (63-70) visited the College to address an audience of Upper School pupils on careers in finance and politics, drawing on his experience as a banker in the City and on Wall Street, and subsequent career in politics with Westminster Council. Philip Battley (87-92) appeared as Maurice in Bill Kenwright’s production of Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels. The show, which also starred Jenny Seagrove and Sara Crowe, opened in August at the Theatre Royal Windsor, subsequently went on tour throughout the southwest and southeast of England. For more on Philip’s work, visit www.philipbattley.com. Kit Bennett (95-02) coached the USA women’s sculling group at the 2013 World Rowing Junior Championships. Among the results, the USA quad won a silver medal and the double finished 13th. Giles Block (53-60), ‘Master of the Words’ at Shakespeare’s Globe, published Speaking the Speech: An Actor’s Guide to Shakespeare (Nick Hern Books) in May, in which he addresses why Shakespeare wrote in the way that he did, and how both actors and directors can get the most out of their performances of Shakespeare’s works.

Jez Bond (94-95) became Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed Park Theatre in Finsbury Park when it opened in 2013. Together with his partner, Melli Bond, Jez founded the theatre in 2010 and led the £3m project during the three years it took to find premises and then build the theatre. Peter Claxton (75-84) reports that, when not bond trading or raising his pedigree Red Devon cattle, he is now running the Dorset Electric Bike Centre (www. dorsetebikecentre.co.uk) in Cattistock, Dorset, from his home, Chalmington Farm. He also owns the Spencer Ivy electric bicycle brand (www.spencerivy.com). Peter would be delighted to welcome any holidaying OAs who may wish to experience the joys of electric mountain bikes or road bikes in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Artist Christopher Cole (68-73) exhibited a selection of his work at the Worshipful Company of PainterStainers’ Art in The City 2013 event in early October. Details of Christopher’s work can be found at www. christophercole.co.uk. Len Cornish (55-62) wrote to us in November, reflecting on his career in engineering and education.

An Afghan policeman turned fire on the team and three men were seriously wounded. Lt Scarlett instructed the remaining members to suppress the sangar position before running back into the compound to assist his wounded colleagues. While firing at the enemy, his rifle jammed but he continued to engage with his pistol until struck in the leg and body armour, suffering serious injuries.

‘I carried on but after a while I came to a standstill and my memory is hazy. All I know is that the entire team were incredible. Not just in this contact but throughout the tour and this award is very much for all of them. They were a constant inspiration to me. As was Corporal Shaw. He did so much throughout the tour and his bravery and technical skill were admired by everyone’, said Captain Scarlett of the engagement. Captain John Scarlett MC (second from right) Realising that a further attempt to extract the casualties via the pedestrian gate was impossible, Lt Scarlett ordered a vehicle to ram one of the blocked gates, before collapsing from pain and blood loss. The rest of the team were, however, able to overcome the attacker and extract the remaining casualties. Captain Scarlett’s citation states: ‘Scarlett, a relatively junior Lieutenant, was faced with a horrific situation. In response, he displayed the very highest standards of leadership, courage and selfless commitment. In effect, he put the lives of his soldiers before his own and in doing so he took the deliberate decision to attack an ambush. Furthermore, even lying seriously injured he continued to direct the counter-attack, displaying supreme gallantry and leadership.’ John Scholar (89-98) has been elected to a Junior Research Fellowship at Magdalen College, Oxford.

OAs and boys at dinner during the Sail Training Week

Alleyn Club publicity (and extensive socialising by the Secretary) helped us find some new and enthusiastic members and we hope to involve them in our activities this year. As always, we will be taking up to 20 College boys for a week of sail training on the south coast in July. It will be hard to beat the endless sunshine of last year’s event. We swam in Newtown Creek, barbequed on the banks of the Beaulieu River and raced around the buoys. It has been a couple of years since we won a cup at the Arrow Trophy Regatta (see report below) and the OA crew will be hungry for silverware this year, competing against crews who went to other independent schools.

Sailors young and old gathered on the Hamble for a lunch on Saturday 28 September to celebrate our 30th anniversary. An exchange of letters between David Emms OBE (Master 75-86) and Brian Capon (40-45) in 1983 marked the start of three decades of rallies, social events and sail training for Dulwich College boys. Throughout that period many dedicated OAs have been involved as both active sailors and committee members. Their partners and wives have also been strong supporters. Last year Peter Fenner and Martin Godfrey (42-48) retired from the committee after many years of enthusiastic contribution to the Society. Many (but not all) of the founder members have ended their active involvement in the Society. We owe them a huge ‘thank you’ for keeping the Society going. They introduced all our current activities and continue to be very supportive of ideas to attract new members.

As our membership has increased (and there is plenty of room for more) we are thinking of further activities, such as an ASS charter in the Mediterranean and participation in the Round the Island Race (for nonsailors that’s the Isle of Wight, not the British Isles!). It is no coincidence that the continued success is running in parallel with more sailing activities at the College, where Jemima Lofts, Head of Sailing, continues to organise a number of activities with great success.

The Arrow Trophy Regatta The 12 to 14 knot north easterly winds blowing at Cowes over the Arrow Trophy weekend of 12-13 October 2013 were a marked improvement on the almost non-existent puffs of 2012, so our hopes were higher for a more successful 2013 regatta. As a reminder, we sail as Dulwich College in the annual regatta for independent schools in what is the sailing equivalent of the Halford Hewitt (golf) and the Cricketer Cup. With a crew of ten on the Sunsail F40, Jason Proctor (00-07) once again helmed and gave us some excellent starts in a fleet of 22 boats. Unfortunately, while we sailed better than in the previous year, the fewer mistakes that we did make proved to be expensive, costing us several places in a couple of the races. As the standard of sailing is very high, it is difficult to make up ground in the relatively short races but we were competitive and did sail some excellent legs, where we proved our potential. Results on the Saturday were a 10th, 9th, tied 17.5 and a 13th from only four races as, with the winds dying toward the end of the day and an increasingly strong tide, there was no possibility of a face saving fifth race. Fine hospitality in the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club and also on the part of Chris and Liana Light, who put up seven of the crew in Cowes, made amends for any disappointment. With two fleet races on the Sunday in stronger winds and heavy showers, we managed a 13th and a much better 6th in a reduced fleet of 18, finishing the regatta 9th of 18 overall in the fleet racing. We did, however, finish ahead of Radley, Shrewsbury, Harrow, Marlborough, Ardingly, Cranleigh and King’s Canterbury, which is still creditable for a school not traditionally associated with sailing. We are always competitive, now have a good standing in the sailing world and will be formally running the Arrow Regatta in 2016 for three years. This year’s crew were: Jason Proctor (00-07; helm), Charlie Lowe (94-01; tactician), Alastair Capon (73-80; skipper), Jemima Lofts (Head of Sailing, Dulwich College); Conrad Manning (09-11), Rahim Kheraj (0207), Oliver Light (03-08), Alex Langley (98-03), Anthony Frankford (62-69) and Matt Pimm (non OA).

Old Alleynian Boat Club President: Tom Saunders (01-06) Hon Secretary: James Jarratt (04-11) Email: [email protected] Web: www.dulwich.org.uk/OABC We are a young boat club whose aim is to promote rowing within the College and provide a base for alumni with any level of interest in the sport to be able to keep in contact, socialise and potentially compete in the future. It was very pleasing to see a great turnout at all our events this year, including the OABC Annual Dinner, Alleyn Club Dinner, OABC Invitational Regatta and Dulwich College Boat Club dinner. It is understood that members may experience difficulty attending all events because of location or educational commitments, so it is much appreciated when you take the time to attend those you can! This year the focus for OABC is to invest in ourselves, with the aim of further increasing membership and moving to a closer relationship with DCBC and the College. In particular, we are looking to assist DCBC in raising the profile of rowing within the College, so as to secure further support for the sport in the future. To help do this, we will be donating photos of past College crews that have been successful at a high level. If anyone has any photos in electronic or printed format, the Club would be most interested in seeing them. A selection will be donated to DCBC and all will be used to help illustrate the Club’s history and identity, something that is very important for such a young club aiming to establish itself in the alumni world. We are commissioning Club ties, along with bow ties, to shape our identity further and look forward to being able to wear them at social events. Old Alleynian Boat Club Annual Dinner Report Saturday 18 January saw the OABC Annual Dinner take place at the East India Club in St James’s Square. A record 53 guests sat down to dinner, among them Dr Joseph Spence, the Master, Dr Colin Niven OBE (52-60), President of the Alleyn Club, and Sixth Form oarsmen and their coaches. We were treated to excellent food and wine, enjoyed in the splendid setting of the Luncheon Room. Many OABC bow ties and rowing blazers were also in evidence, showing our Club character strongly on the night.

Incidentally, we are also the current holders of the 150 year old Royal Thames Yacht Club Belvidere Cup, which we won back in 2007 in random pairs team racing at Royal Victoria Docks. We will be competing to retain this highly esteemed and valuable trophy on 26-27 April 2014 by match racing the Royal Thames’s J80s at Queen Mary Reservoir; so, who knows, we may find further success.

OABC chairman Tom Saunders (01-06) spoke of the close relationship the Club enjoys with Dulwich College Boat Club and the College, and offered his thanks for their efforts. Both clubs are growing stronger every year and OABC is supporting rowing at the College to an ever increasing extent. The Master offered his thanks for the alumni contribution to rowing and the wider culture of the College, and praised the mutually supportive culture of both clubs. The evening ended with a rousing rendition of Pueri Alleynenses and drinks in the East India Club bar, before the young and the brave sampled the delights and pitfalls of the West End. Thanks must go to everyone who made the evening possible, and to everyone attending who made it one of the most special OABC dinners I can recall.

He impressed as England’s opening fast bowler and took a stunning return catch to dismiss David Warner in Brisbane. He has been labelled ‘a player of rare talent; an unbelievable slip fielder, a serious raw pace bowler and a decent hitter’. Following this successful tour, he has been selected for the forthcoming tour of the West Indies and the ICC World Twenty20. As always, the Old Alleynian Cricket Club will be following his progress very closely. The future looks extremely bright for Chris. In 2014, OACC have been drawn in the Cricketer Cup First Round against Charterhouse Friars on Sunday 15 June at Charterhouse. We are always looking for new players to strengthen our position in the competition. Should you wish to be involved, please contact the Alleyn Club, Imran or Vikram for further information. Imran Nasser (91-01)

Old Alleynian Chess Club Secretary: Trevor Jones (57-66) Email: [email protected] There was no OA Chess Club activity on Founder’s Day in 2013, because the Secretary and some other key members were away on holiday at that time, but the Club’s annual dinner took place as usual in December. This year it was kindly hosted by Rory O’Kelly (62-68) and his wife, Kathy, in their own home near Kent House station. It was attended by six OAs, three partners, and two associate members, making a record 11 attendance, at least for many years. The Club itself is currently purely social and does not have any tournaments or play any team matches because those members who are still active players all get their competitive chess through other club and county teams. There is, however, nothing to stop a group of newcomers, perhaps from amongst recent leavers, getting together and organising a team or competition in future. Any OAs interested in joining should initially contact the Secretary, 20

Old Alleynian Cross Country Club Secretary: Jerry Watson (71-78) Email: [email protected] A shortage of numbers in the team held the OAs back in the 61st edition of the Thames Hare and Hounds Alumni Race on 14 December 2013. While injury played its part, the inability of the OA team organiser to send out a timely reminder to get fit also did not help. He promises to do better next year! Wimbledon Common was wetter than normal this year but the parts of the race around the Windmill are always firm under foot, so there was some fast running. The race was won by Wurr of Warwick School in 26:00. The OAs running were: Jerry Watson (71-78)

12th

30:25

Robert Rider (77-83)

31st

32:15

David Gibson (89-94)

114th

39:48

Jerry was also first in the over 40s and over 50s categories, helped in the former age category by the inability of a few in front of him to follow the marked course. Rob was second in the over 40s but, alas, without a third runner we scored last finisher +1 for our third counter and so lost our grip on the Old Brentwoods Trophy (for the over 40s teams) to Ampleforth. This is a trophy that Dulwich College had won six times in the preceding eight years. Sherborne won the Open Race from Winchester and Ampleforth, with Dulwich 11th. The 2014 race will be on Saturday 13 December on Wimbledon Common (the A3 side). If anyone else (including those I have lost touch with), of any standard, would like details of the five mile cross country race and to wear an OA singlet, then please get in touch with Jerry Watson (see above for details) and I will send details nearer the time. Further cross-country news: The Oxford v Cambridge Varsity Race is held over Wimbledon Common on the first weekend in December. Lewis Lloyd (07-12), representing Cambridge, won the race and led his team to overall victory. Jerry Watson (71-78) Secretary

Old Alleynian Football Club Chairman: Roger Looker (62-70) Hon Secretary: Owen McEntee Email: [email protected] Web: www.alleynian.org/rugby Rugby is flourishing in Dulwich: the Old Alleynians retained their position in London 2 SW and the College 1st XV won the Daily Mail Cup for the second year running. It 22

was a close run thing for the OAs. Newly promoted, we struggled in the higher league and the fact that we had one of the wettest seasons on record did not help as the boggy conditions hampered our traditional fast-paced, rucking game. We only managed to secure our place in the league in the very last game of the season, coming back from 24-9 down at half time to win 24-26 away at Portsmouth. This was a superb effort and, by happy coincidence, occurred on the day of the annual dinner, meaning the celebrations continued on well into the night. At the end of the season, Johnny Wright stepped down as Captain of the 1st XV. We thank him for being a great servant of the Club who led us back to our rightful place in the higher London leagues. He is succeeded by Rhys Hopkins, a solid Welsh prop from the Valleys. The 2s, 3s and 4s continue to thrive in the Kent Invicta and Metropolitan leagues, playing a good blend of serious and social rugby. One of the biggest success stories from the season has been the development XV, conceived as a way of transitioning players from the junior sides of the club into the seniors. After a difficult start it has really come into its own, mixing new players to the Club, school leavers - and a few grizzled veterans – with a number of the players advancing to the 1st XV, a trend we hope and expect to continue. A large part of the success of this side has been down to Ditch Boultbee (66-75) who has provided good organisation and support, and an invaluable link between the junior and senior sides of the club. The Old Alleynians travelled to Old Whitgiftians for the traditional Boxing Day game. Having dominated the fixture in the last few seasons, it came as something of a shock for the team to find themselves involved in a much more closely contested game than usual, in which the Whits missed the conversion from a try scored in the last play of the match that would have given them a draw. The junior side of the Club is in a healthy position with numbers continuing to grow though, like the rest of the Club, they suffered from the adverse weather conditions with many weekends lost because the pitches were waterlogged. As noted above, there has been a good flow of players moving up through the development side into the senior section. On the more social side, the veterans managed, by Fabrice Bollet, played a few matches including a memorable game under floodlights on a Friday night at Sutton and Epsom. The traditional May Bank Holiday tour was to Cologne in Germany where I am assured they actually do play rugby. An occasion of note was the ten year anniversary reunion organised by James Franklin (90-98) for the players who won the Powergen Junior Vase at Twickenham in 2003. It is interesting to reflect how much the club has changed over the intervening years. Ten years ago the 1st XV was playing in Surrey Division 2 and we were only able to run one other side, the 2nd XV, and the junior side of the Club was in its infancy.

Clubs & Societies

Currently, the 1st XV is playing in London 2 SW; we regularly field five full adult XVs on a Saturday, and the junior side of the Club now has sides from u7 right up to u17 and a Colts Academy. On the playing front, the Club is in very healthy position with plenty to look forward to in the future. Owen McEntee Hon Secretary OAFC is fortunate to have had many recent successes, but to continue to succeed it will need all the support it can muster from traditional and new Old Alleynian sources, as well as accessing grants for ground improvement projects. We need to improve our pitches and facilities to meet the demands of increasing youth and adult membership, and in response to demand for rugby in local schools. In particular, we need to: upgrade our pitches and improve drainage; provide more mini/midi rugby places; upgrade the driveway and enlarge our car-parking facilities; and install floodlighting. An appeal will be launched within the coming months and will include a fundraising dinner at the College on Friday 4 July. A booking form can be found on page 87 and details are available from Siva Pillay (73-81) - [email protected] – and online at www.dulwich.org.uk/OAFC.

Old Alleynian Golf Society Captain 2013-14: Will Lewis (54-65) Hon Secretary: Duncan Anderson (64-71) Email: [email protected] Web: www.dulwich.org.uk/OAGS 2013 was another eventful year for the Golf Society, with meetings and matches every month led by our Captain, Alistair Defriez (61-69), and organised by our outgoing Secretary, Graham Curtis (56-64). Graham has been Secretary for seven years and during that time he has not only managed the affairs of the

Society but expanded golf meetings by introducing ‘summer sizzlers’ and ‘winter warmers’ at some of the finest courses in the southeast. He has quite properly been made a Vice President of the Society and we owe him huge thanks for all his hard work over the years. Duncan Anderson (64-71) has taken over this role and would like to hear from anyone interested in the Society on the new designated email address of [email protected]. Alistair Defriez was ever present with his irrepressible good humour and his support was essential to the success of all the year’s meetings and matches. He is a great raconteur and his speech at the annual dinner was memorably amusing. The 2014 Captain is Will Lewis (54-65) and we wish him good luck. 2013 started well with our annual dinner in early March at the East India Club, where Nigel Farage (74-82), the leader of UKIP, spoke amusingly about his memories of playing for the Society, among other things, and led the full house singing the school song while standing on his chair. At the 2014 annual dinner, we will be honouring Bob Deakin (42-45), our guest speaker who, at 86, still plays to single figures and has represented us in the scratch Halford Hewitt competition 111 times, playing over 52 years from 1950 to 2001. In addition, he played many times in the Grafton Morrish and Cyril Gray competitions, was a regular in the Kent county team and played for UK Seniors in the triangular match with USA and Canada. The 1983 Halford Hewitt team in which Bob and Nigel appeared is below. This year, Mike Kirby (51-58) hopes to break Bob’s record as he has played 110 matches to date; David Somerville (63-69) has played 96 matches. 2013 was, however, not as successful a year for the Society, as we were knocked out in the first round of the Halford Hewitt even though our team had travelled from all over the world to represent us. Our Cyril Gray team could not defend the plate we won in 2012 because, having made it through to the second round of the main competition, they were knocked out by the eventual winners.

The 1983 Halford Hewitt team: Back row (l to r) - George Melio (55-63), Chris Litterick (60-68), David Rutnam (70-77), Malcolm Mapp (51-59), Geoffrey Eclair-Heath (58-67), David Somerville (62-69), Nigel Farage (74-82), Richard Andrade (59-68); front row (l to r) – A Smith, Barry Lane (45-52), Bob Deakin (42-45), ‘Hooky’ Howe (46-53) (Captain), Mike Kirby (51-58), Nick Owen (72-81), Jack Blanch (1911-17)

We did, however, retain the Triangular tournament against Tonbridge and Shrewsbury at Tandridge, organised by Peter Dickinson (57-66). Our first match in the 2014 Halford Hewitt is on Friday 11 April against Brighton, teeing off at 7.45am at Royal Cinque Ports. I am sure the team would welcome your support and it is a great event for spectators. Do come along and meet some old friends. Our fixture list for 2014, which can be viewed online at www.dulwich .org.uk/OAGS, is again full with 11 matches, eight competitions and 11 Society meetings, starting with the spring meeting on Monday 31 March at Swinley Forest. We would greatly welcome any new members wishing to join us there. In 2014, we would like to hear from any OAs aged under 25, to join our expanding youth section. We are organising events in the Easter and summer holidays especially for the younger players, which the Society hopes to subsidise. Our autumn meeting at the Berkshire has a discounted rate for the younger members thanks to Peter Foord (72-81). The Society will soon be the only golf society with its own mobile app, thanks to Phil McInley (64-72) and his company, Eagle Promotions. The app will show the full fixture list, have a notice board and enable you to contact team managers to confirm availability to play in our matches, as well as have full contact details for all members of the Society. Appointments in 2014: Mark Northwood (70-79) has moved on from being Assistant Secretary at Littlestone to become Secretary at Sittingbourne Golf Club. We wish him well. Duncan Anderson (64-71) Hon Secretary

Old Alleynian Lodge Secretary: Ghanem Nuseibeh (94-96) Email: [email protected] The OA Lodge is one of nearly 8,000 lodges registered under the United Grand Lodge of England and was founded in 1920, one of the founder members being Sir Ernest Shackleton OA. It has around 50 members from all walks of life and of a wide variety of ages. Membership is open to all who have attended the College or who are members of the Alleyn Club. We warmly welcome those who are interested in becoming a Freemason, or are already members of other Lodges and who wish strengthen their connection with the College. The United Grand Lodge of England, to which regular Masonic lodges in England belong, says: ‘Freemasonry means different things to each of those who join. For some, it is about making new friends and acquaintances. For others it is about being able to help 24

deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society. But for most, it is an enjoyable hobby’. The OA Lodge offers all this and a bit more. Our members meet in College four times a year, by kind permission of the Master, thereby maintaining a continuous connection with the school. As a public schools lodge, the Lodge is a member of the Public Schools Lodges Council and visitors from other public school lodges regularly visit us. This year, the Lodge’s Master was Geoff Rutter, who is President of the Common Room, CCF Contingent Commander and a Design Technology master at the College. He took over the one-year post after several years progressing through the Lodge offices. Being Master is not only a great honour but also takes time. Geoff, who despite having an already full schedule, has excelled himself. The Lodge has had a very good year, with new initiates joining, including former pupils and current members of staff. As is customary, the Lodge dinner in December was attended by several nonmasons, including: the Deputy Master External, Ralph Mainard; Dr Colin Niven OBE (52-60), President of the Alleyn Club; Chris Field (51-59), Secretary of the Alleyn Club; and Guy Lawrenson, the College’s Relationship Manager, from the Alleyn Club & Development Office. Mr Mainard updated the Lodge on College activities and Dr Niven on the activities of the Alleyn Club. Charity is an important part of Freemasonry in general. The OA Lodge regularly gives to worthy causes, including donations to school-related causes. The Lodge is in good heart and has received a number of expressions of interest from young OAs, some of whom are considering becoming Freemasons and some who have been initiated into their university lodge and would like to become joining members of the OA Lodge. Both are equally welcome. If you would like to find out more about the Lodge and/or Freemasonry in general, please contact me and I will let you have more details. Ghanem Nuseibeh (94-96) Secretary

Old Alleynian Shooting Club Hon Secretary: David Nicholson (59-67) Email: [email protected] This season has been, if the pun can be excused, a bit hit and miss. We have enjoyed all the usual benefits of target shooting – an outdoor activity, the company of like-minded people and the sport we enjoy. This can be seen as the parts that were a hit. The misses were not confined to the targets, as we had to cancel some shoots because of a lack of numbers. However, after all is said and done, the weather was a distinct improvement on the previous year and we managed to dodge most of the rain during the summer.

Clubs & Societies

Our problem is that the Club is small and the loss of a couple of members has a disproportionate effect. We were pleased to welcome Stephen Bondfield (69-72) to the Club and he has shown a keenness to take part as he learns the necessary skills needed for target shooting. This year the scores did not go our way. We lost in our end of season shoot with the Old Albanians, the first time in three years. The tradition of our joint dinner with partners helped to take the sting away! We had a reasonable shoot in the Public Schools Veterans meeting at Bisley in July – it is a shame the College no longer shoots there – and finished around two thirds down the entry list. It is an impressive sight to see the Century Range at Bisley full to bursting with so many old boys clubs. Internally, our Club championship was well attended and Kit Sturges (52-59) was again crowned champion with a gun score of 89 with five ‘V’ bulls (out of a possible score of 100). The handicap medal was won by David Nicholson (59-67) with an adjusted score of 99.363, so it helps sometimes to shoot poorly all season and raise the game for the championship! We would welcome new members as target shooting can be a most rewarding sport in which to take part. We have Club equipment and offer training during a necessary probationary period. Throughout the year there are practice shoots to help improve your skills and Club competitions that are not too taxing. David Nicholson (59-67) Hon Secretary

The Club owes a considerable debt to Patrick for his hard work over several years and he will remain a member of the management committee. Miss S J Mackintosh (known as SJ) remains the Club Leader.

Hollington Youth Centre has been serving Camberwell for 120 years. Based in the heart of Camberwell in the middle of an estate of over 1,000 flats, the Club is open five nights a week with the aim of helping young people develop in all areas of their lives through music, sports, group games and discussions. Summer 2013 was a busy one as young people attended the centre 422 times and attended several trips, including visits to Minas Bay and the Natural History Museum. Not only were these trips fun but they also increased their scientific knowledge and raised their social awareness. A youth choir has been developed and, while the boxing club is closed until a new leader is found and proper lighting installed, there has been box-exercise for juniors. Club membership rose from 148 to 243 during the year. There was an 25

Clubs & Societies

open day in February when members were able to showcase their skills to family and friends and raise funds. Under Chris Vernon’s leadership there was a most successful event to celebrate the Club’s 120 years and an appeal to raise £250,000 has been launched. The grant from Southwark Council has been increased but sponsorship from the Rank Foundation has expired. However, the College, the Camberwell Society and Dulwich Runners have all contributed funds. The premises have been decorated but much more work needs to be done. Consideration is being given to how to develop the buildings so as to increase income and reduce dependence on the valued support of the Trust.

Pupil Fundraising for the Club

During the Michaelmas and Lent terms of 2012-13, the Middle and Upper Schools chose to have as their termly charity the Hollington Youth Centre. On Monday 22 April, Chris Vernon and SJ McIntosh came to the College to attend an assembly of the boys and receive a cheque for the funds raised – £5,308.

DCM Hollington Trust DCM Hollington Trust exists to provide funding for the Hollington Club, founded more than 120 years ago as the College Mission. The Club has its own committee and provides sporting and educational facilities for both boys and girls in Camberwell – in one of the more deprived areas of inner London. It is open to all young people and relies upon the continued support of the College and of the Trust. The endowment has, however, been shrinking over recent years since the income generated in these difficult economic times has had to be supplemented with regular injections of capital. All money donated or covenanted to the Trust goes to benefit the Club. The Trust is run by a committee of Old Alleynians, together with most valued support from the Master and the Chaplain. We are most pleased that the Trust has once again become one of the beneficiaries of the College’s charitable giving. Links with the College have also provided ready practical help when needed. We are pursuing stronger links by arranging visits by boys at the College. OAs can help too. Many of the committee have been in post for a very long time and it would be good if we could find some younger members; 26

in particular we are still looking for someone with financial expertise and maybe a surveyor or architect. The Trust owns the Club premises in Camberwell as well as a portfolio of investments built up from the College Mission collections and from OA donations and legacies. This has enabled the Trust to continue to pay regular grants to the Club of some £72,000 per annum out of dividend income, donations and from the sale of some of our investments. Over the years, the Trust has, with skilful fund management under the eye of Peter Franklin (46-50) and Ted Swaysland (44-48), succeeded in out-performing the market. We are very grateful indeed to both of them. Peter Franklin has now retired after many years of service but we have been fortunate in persuading Peter Lyon (53-61), one of the Alleyn Club trustees, to take over from him. Grants at this level have continued despite our actual annual income from all sources falling short of the payments made to the Club, amounting in the past six years to some £420,000. The shortfall in itself emphasises the continuing need for further donations. It is, however, becoming ever more apparent that the premises themselves need repairing and updating, in particular so that there can be more letting to provide a more secure level of income, or possibly extended to include some residential accommodation. We record our thanks to all the dedicated staff, including the volunteers at the Club under the skilful leadership of SJ and to the directors of both charities for their time and very valued support. We are also most grateful to our regular OA subscribers and to those who donate at dinners and similar occasions and on whose subscriptions we recover Gift Aid. A list of these subscribers (one of whom has recently died, but kindly included a legacy for us in his will) is available from the Chairman. Jeremy Baker (53-60) Chairman, DCM Hollington Trust

Old Alleynian Endowment Fund Chairman: Trevor Llewelyn (72-79) Hon Secretary: Marcus Graham (90-98) Email: [email protected] Aims Established in 1932, the Fund provides financial assistance to OAs and pupils at the College for their education or for training for an occupation or profession. Assistance is almost always given in the form of an interest-free loan, to be repaid when the beneficiary’s financial situation allows, often in instalments; but help may exceptionally be given as an outright grant. The Trustees may also transfer up to

Clubs & Societies

5% of the Fund’s assets annually to The Master’s Fund for disbursement to current pupils in connection with one-off co-curricular activities. Trustees The Fund is administered by six Trustees, who in 2013 were: Trevor Llewelyn (72-79; Geography master; Chairman), Marcus Graham (90-98; Hon Secretary), Nick Rundle (69-76; Hon Treasurer), Will Keat (9300), Peter Petyt (75-81) and John Walters (54-62). The Master is invited to attend Trustee meetings. Having served for the maximum seven consecutive years allowed by the trust deed, Will Keat stepped down as Trustee in December 2013. The remaining Trustees would like to repeat their warm thanks for Will’s good humour and dedication during his trusteeship. John Walters also has the remaining Trustees’ warm thanks: he stepped down in December 2013 having kindly brought his experience and level-headedness to the Fund for a further year. The Trustees will maintain a full complement in 2014 through the welcome arrival of Tom Woudhuysen (97-04), Common Room representative, and the

welcome return of Ivor Warburton (57-65), who returns as Chairman. David Johns (52-60) was independent examiner of the OAEF’s accounts, for which the Trustees are immensely grateful. Activity in 2013 The Trustees are pleased to report an especially busy 2013, during which there were 15 Old Alleynian beneficiaries (2012: 9) who had been advanced funds by the OAEF, one of whom had completed repayments in full during the year. Loans totalling £18,200 (2012: £5,700) were advanced to six young men (2012: 3) during the year, and grants were made of £5,000 (2012: £5,000). One further loan had been offered but was yet to be drawn. In addition, a number of pupils at the College received cash contributions towards the cost of educational trips from money provided by the Endowment Fund to the Master’s Fund. Donations During the year the Fund received a generous donation from the Alleyn Club. The Trustees are naturally very grateful for this donation and extend their very sincere thanks. The Fund also received Gift Aid of £1,375 in relation to donations made in 2012.

Clubs & Societies

In order to simplify the Fund’s accounting, in 2012 the Trustees decided that the Fund should adopt receipts and payments accounting (rather than accruals accounting). This greatly simplifies the process of producing accounts and reduces the responsibilities of the independent examiner. It is entirely in keeping with the requirements of charities law and of the Fund’s trust deed. Of the year-end funds (which excludes loans advanced to beneficiaries) investments at market value accounted for £96,398 (2012: £82,102) and cash and deposits accounted for £25,275 (2012: £35,911). Donations and Legacies Notwithstanding the Fund’s robust financial position, donations are very welcome. Donations can be made under Gift Aid, which enables the Fund to reclaim

basic rate tax on sums received from UK tax payers, and provides a tax benefit to higher rate tax payers. Furthermore, by virtue of the Fund’s charitable status, legacies are free of inheritance tax. Gifts and legacies would be very gratefully received by the Hon Treasurer, Nick Rundle, at 9 Draycott Place, London SW3 2SE. Applications Enquiries from OAs about possible assistance should be addressed to the Hon Secretary Marcus Graham, at 59 Falcon Point, London SE1 9JB or marcus_graham@ hotmail.com. Enquiries from pupils at the College should be addressed directly to him or through Messrs Llewelyn and/or Woudhuysen. Marcus Graham (90-98) Hon Secretary

Academic Achievements, Examination Results and Leavers’ Destinations A Level 210 Sixth Formers sat their A levels in 2013. While national results slipped with the imposition of tougher grade boundaries, more than 90% of College entries were awarded A*-B grades – an increase of 2% over 2012 – with 27.5% attaining the top grade.

• College debaters won the International Final of the English Speaking Union’s Schools’ Mace

The Dulwich Diploma Introduced in 2012, the Dulwich Diploma has three core elements: academic study (including a piece of academic research beyond A level); service to the community; and preparation for life beyond school. In 2013, the Dulwich Diploma was awarded to 192 of the 210 Sixth Form leavers.

Fundraising Summary for 2013 The Dulwich College adventure took a major step forward in January 2014 with the beginning of the construction of The Laboratory (see below), the first, vital stage in the ambitious Masterplan to transform the campus as the College heads towards its 400th anniversary in 2019. This was made possible by the generous support of many Old Alleynians, over 600 of whom, together with parents and other friends of the College, donated to The Laboratory, the Bursary Appeal Fund and other College causes during 2013. Donations Received 1 August 2012 – 31 July 2013 The Laboratory Bursary Appeal Fund Other Restricted Funds Unrestricted Total

£1,118,805 £89,966 £255 £1,382 £1,210,408

Matched Funding It is pleasing to report that, in September 2013, we met the £1m matched funding pledge of an anonymous donor which enabled all new gifts to the restoration and development of College buildings to be matched. This, together with an earlier gift, provided a foundation of £1.5m for The Laboratory. We are enormously grateful for this extraordinary support, which has proved a great incentive to others. Your continued support will make 32

it possible for the Master’s vision for the best facilities ahead of 2019 and the ability to attract bright boys regardless of their socio-economic background to be achieved.

‘I am very pleased to have supported the College on its first steps towards raising significant funds for the future. I hope that my donation is only the first of many substantial grants to the College, which will allow it to generate and develop its physical and intellectual fabric, and allow boys from all backgrounds to step into the world with an excellent, well-rounded education.’ The anonymous benefactor

The Laboratory The go-ahead for replacing the 1950s Science Block was given in February 2013 when planning permission was obtained for the construction of The Laboratory. McLaren Construction was appointed in October and the foundation pilings were completed in January of this year. It is expected that groundworks will be completed by May, with the superstructure being erected during the summer. After fitting out, the building should be ready for handing over in Summer term 2015. The vision for Science learning at the College is to instil a life-long love of the subject. The new building will have communal spaces where boys can continue their experiments outside the classroom – for example, building large-scale models and developing projects for national and international competitions. Cuttingedge IT facilities will enable interaction with global

developments, so that pupils understand the relevance of their learning as they develop through independent enquiry to working at undergraduate level. The building will also make it possible for us to share our expertise as we become a hub for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and IT for teachers as well as pupils through, for example, the Saturday School programme. The total cost of both phases of construction of The Laboratory will be £21.4m of which the College is seeking to raise donations of £5.9m from individual donors. The heartening news is that £2.9m has already been given. The hope is that, with the continued, crucial support of OAs and others within the community, the College will be able to complete a landmark building fit to rival the Barry Buildings in the hearts of future generations of OAs.

2019. To date, more than 600 OAs, pupils, parents, staff and other friends have joined who, together, have donated approximately £500,000. This substantial contribution to our overall fundraising efforts has aided our ability to begin construction work with great confidence that, with continued community support, the building will be completed at the earliest possible opportunity. Full membership of the 2019 Society costs £2,019 and, for those aged under 28, Young OA membership is £201.90, with gifts for both levels able to be spread over a period of up to five years. For more information about the Society and the benefits of membership (including a distinctive tie), please visit the website or contact the Alleyn Club & Development Office on +44 (0)20 8299 9286 or [email protected].

Telephone Campaigns

Architect’s impression of The Laboratory

The 2019 Society www.dulwich.org.uk/2019Society The 2019 Society, which saw its first anniversary in February 2014, was founded as a dedicated way for members of all sections of the College community to support The Laboratory and other College priorities, with a goal of attracting at least 2,019 members by

In July 2013, the College ran its first telephone campaign in nine years. A team of 14 recent leavers were recruited and spoke to 650 OAs over a two week period. For many of those called, the experience presented an opportunity to re-engage with the College, learn about all that is going on here today and share details of what they have gone on to achieve since their time as a pupil. The callers also benefited, gaining valuable work experience and a great deal of advice on university life and careers. The campaign raised more than £200,000 for The Laboratory and Bursary Appeal Fund – an excellent achievement that exceeded initial expectations – and it also provided a wealth of new information that is helping us to continue the development of OA communications and events. Building on the success of the 2013 campaign, and to continue to raise funds for The Laboratory and Bursary Appeal Fund, the College will be running another telephone campaign in July 2014. Anyone interested in finding out more about the campaign should contact Guy Lawrenson, Relationship Manager, on +44 (0)20 8299 9286 or [email protected]. 33

The Canon Carver Society is open to those who inform the College of their intention to leave a gift in their will and, as every legacy gift is important, it is heartening to report an increase in membership over the year from 86 to 110. Members and their wives/partners are welcomed to an annual lunch at the College. The Society’s President, Ian Hay Davison CBE (45-49), has led this excellent initiative since it was founded in 2004 and, on behalf of the College, I wish to thank him for his inspiration and support. If you have pledged a gift to the College in your will or would like to discuss the opportunities, in particular the new charitable

The Great Hall was packed to the gunwales on Friday 1 November, when 240 OAs and their guests assembled for the 131st Alleyn Club Annual Dinner. Virtually all the years from 1933 to the present were represented – from Dennis Knight (33-39), the senior member, to six current senior prefects. There was strong representation from leavers in the mid-70s as well as tables of golfers, rowers, sailors, rugger men, members of the OA Lodge, form JC 1953, 2000 leavers and former members of staff. The singing of Pueri Alleynienses, accompanied by the College Organ Scholar, James Orford (H6A), was heart-warmingly full-throated. The President of the Alleyn Club, Brigadier Johnny Walker OBE DL (51-59), spoke with sincerity about his time at the College, of friendships made then which have survived the passage of the years, and of his delight at finding the College in such good heart now as it prepares to celebrate its 400th anniversary in 2019. Replying to the President’s toast to the College, the Club’s guests and to himself, the Master thanked Brigadier Walker for the quite outstanding work he had done during his year in office. He spoke of the strength of Alleynian societies and interest groups evidenced by their presence at the various tables filling the Great Hall while, at the same time, being prepared to unite in support of enterprises for the common good.

OAs in Thailand The quarterly Old Alleynian dinners continued at the Bangkok Dusit Thani Hotel. Even after the transfer of the hotel’s general manager – Alex Willats (83-91) had just moved to run their Manila operation – the hotel maintains superb service levels. Attendance averaged about 15, with a few OAs attending from abroad, especially Singapore. One interesting dinner highlight was a television sequence from the BBC’s In Search of Shakespeare, in which an actor portrays Edward Alleyn in ‘live’ performance - booming voice and grand gestures. Unexpected and interesting! Mike Smith Hon Member, Alleyn Old Boy and Hon Secretary, OAs in Thailand

of Mr Magnus, Anil Scott (86-91) and Ranjit Murugason (81-83). OAs from Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Britain were in attendance, some travelling in just for the occasion. A four course meal was served in a room adorned with artefacts and memorabilia of the College from the 19th and early 20th centuries, set to a backdrop of images on a projector showing College life and achievements throughout the years, from the Victorian era up to the present day. We were fortunate to have as our guest of honour, Dr Colin Niven OBE Palmes académiques (52-60), incoming President of the Alleyn Club.

North America Toronto Dinner, Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto, Vancouver Lunch, The Boathouse Restaurant, 29 May 2013 27 May 2013 The annual dinner, organised by David Hicks (51-59), was Seven OAs and four spouses entertained Dr Spence and his wife, Angela, on Jericho Beach overlooking English Bay. Mark Hancock (67-68) arrived from Seattle and gave a brief animated account of the first day of his only year at the College, when he attempted, unsuccessfully, to bring a North American flavour to the intricacies of cricket. This prompted Geoff Maile (55-62) to give a visual demonstration of the bowling action of Terry Walsh, described in the 1955 edition of The Alleynian as ‘a helicopter cum windmill delivery’. Three hours passed all too quickly and in the rush to plug parking meters the photograph for posterity was forgotten. We will, however, be able to make amends with the visit of Colin Niven in June. Geoffrey Maile (55-62)

attended by 27 OAs and guests, including the Master and his wife, Angela, as well as the President of the Alleyn Club, Brigadier Johnny Walker OBE DL (51-59).

Henry William Abbey (1936-42) 09.04.1925 – 21.10.2013

Dr John Preston Amis (1936-39) 17.06.1922 – 01.08.2013

Henry Abbey came to Dulwich with a Junior County Scholarship from Sussex Road Primary School in Brixton. (Sussex Road has now disappeared, having been replaced by the vast Moorlands housing estate, but the school survives as Hill Mead Primary School.) He was in Spenser. On leaving the College during World War 2, he joined insurance company Prudential briefly but when he became 18 years old he joined the Royal Navy, and served in Australia and on HMS Venerable in the Far East. After the war ended, he returned to Prudential until 1950, when he joined the new family business, Dale Martin Promotions, where he was known as ‘Billy Dale’. Dale Martin Promotions held an exclusive wrestling contract with ITV from 1955 to 1985, which had its best years when shown on World of Sport between 1965 and 1985, and they were closely involved in World Championship Boxing in the 1960s and 70s. Henry became a chartered secretary, merged Dale Martin Promotions with Hurst Park Syndicate and floated the new company in 1964. He was a director and company secretary of this company until it was taken over by the William Hill Organisation in 1971. He became a director and subsequently Deputy Managing Director of William Hill, and was also a director of numerous other sporting, leisure and finance companies within the same group. He travelled widely on business in Europe and the USA before retiring from William Hill in 1988, when it merged with Mecca.

John Preston Amis was born in Dulwich as the younger of two children to his father James, who worked for the merchant bankers Seligmann Brothers, and his mother, Florence, who was a model at Harrods. Writer Kingsley Amis was John’s first cousin and they were both born in 1922. He came to the College from the Prep, where he developed mastoiditis and lost the hearing in his left ear. At the Prep he developed a life-long friendship with future pianist and songwriter Donald Swann, but left under a cloud after being implicated in a raid on the school tuck shop by another boy. Despite this he continued his studies at the College.

Despite being a lifelong Marxist and advocate of social revolution, Henry was a Name at Lloyds insurance between 1973 and 1993. He was married with five children and his main leisure interests were literature, theatre, golf (where he was very proud to have once achieved a hole in one), bridge and cooking. Henry himself wrote his own obituary notes and would like his epitaph to be ‘Always bought his round and always fought his own corner’.

Because of his partial deafness, he did not have to do military service and he followed his father into banking but for only six weeks, before deciding to pursue his hobby, classical music, as a career. He initially joined EMG Handmade Gramophones, a record shop in Grape Street in central London, where staff were encouraged to take records home in order to familiarise themselves with the stock. Records were then made from shellac, which became scarce during wartime, and the record shop was soon struggling. He moved on to a job as secretary to the London Philharmonic Orchestra Arts Club, which brought him into contact with William Glock and Sir Michael Tippett, and he also sometimes turned pages for Dame Myra Hess at wartime concerts at the National Gallery and helping Tippett to organise concerts at Morley College. After the war, he became the London music critic for The Scotsman in 1946. In late 1947 he joined Sir Thomas Beecham’s newlyformed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, where he ran the concerts and printed the posters and programmes. Glock invited him to run a summer school for musicians at Bryanston School in Dorset in 1948. The summer school moved to Dartington in 1953 and John remained

the administrative director until 1981, bringing a long line of international musicians to the school, including Igor Stravinsky, Sir Michael Tippett and the Amadeus Quartet. His own singing career was short-lived. After travelling 1,000 miles by train to an audition at an opera house in Graz, Austria, the opera house’s director said to him, ‘Do I understand that you have done music criticism? Then why don’t you stick to it? Goodbye.’ Throughout his long career, John dabbled in broadcasting, starting in 1950 on the BBC’s Sunday morning Music Magazine programme on Radio 3 discussing Stravinsky’s Orpheus. He made his television debut in 1961 presenting a piece on Monitor about the cellist and composer Paul Tortelier. With his relaxed style, detailed subject knowledge and clear passion for music, he was a natural on both radio and television. The Radio 4 panel show My Music was first broadcast in 1967, but when his friend and original panel member David Franklin decided to leave the programme in 1974, John was the obvious choice to replace him and he remained with My Music for 20 years, with some of the later episodes being broadcast on television on BBC Two. In June 2012, he celebrated his 90th birthday by giving a two hour talk at the Aldeburgh Festival on his experiences at the Festival over 60 years. There then followed a programme on Radio 3 called An Evening with John Amis, which included clips of some of the interviews he had done with many of the greatest musicians of our time. (By this time he had conducted 500 such interviews.) He married violinist Olive Zorian in 1948 but they divorced in 1955 with no children and he is survived by his partner for the last six years of his life, Isla Baring. Obituaries appeared in most national newspapers as well as The Scotsman and Classical Source website. This obituary is based on those published obituaries and on Wikipedia’s page about him. Edward Stuart Barribal (1949-56) 14.09.1937 – 20.12.2012 Stuart Barribal was born in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, but his family soon moved to Essex and he came to Dulwich on a scholarship from Chalkwell Hall School, Westcliff-on-Sea, and was in Spenser. After a difficult first few months settling into life as a boarder in The Orchard, he truly enjoyed his time at the College, especially when he moved on to Blew boarding House. He left Dulwich with University Entrance qualifications and a great love for English literature and music, and emigrated to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to take up a position as Assistant Registrar to the Water and Town Planning Court in Southern Rhodesia. He enjoyed life in central Africa, met his first wife, Jill, there and they married in 1961, after which

he returned to studying at the University of Rhodesia and Nyasaland for four years. He graduated with a University of London honours degree in English and a diploma in Education, and immediately took up a teaching post in English at Ellis Robins High School for Boys (‘Esse Quam Videri’) in Mabelreign, Salisbury. A daughter, Sally, and then a son, William, arrived for Stuart and Jill in 1966 and 1967. Stuart was a popular teacher at Ellis Robins, his career at the school culminating in his final position as Head of English in 1981. He dedicated much of his spare time to acting and singing and was chairman of both the Salisbury Phoenix Choir and the Reps Theatre in Salisbury for some years, but his marriage to Jill ended during this time. Having been on active service with the Rhodesian Army Reserve Force for many years, Stuart joined the Rhodesia Army full-time (as a Major) and then moved on to the Zimbabwe Army (as a Lt Colonel), where he managed the final transition from the old army to the new one in the Education Corps. He left Zimbabwe in 1983 and moved to South Africa to resume his teaching career in the private sector. Stuart moved back to England in 1985 and worked for a short while in the property sector, before returning to teaching again with a contract job teaching English as a foreign language in Moscow. On one of his return visits to the UK he met Judy, whom he married in Sydney, Australia, in 1997. He welcomed a return to the sunnier climes of the southern hemisphere and the social life that came with it, as he lived in Sydney itself, then Coffs Harbour and latterly at Nambucca Heads. He passed away peacefully in Sydney at the age of 75 following a battle with cancer. Stuart’s family and friends will fondly remember him for his irrepressible sense of humour, his repertoire of English literature, poetry and jokes, and for his love of classical jazz. He is survived by his elder brother and younger sister, first wife, their son and daughter, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. His son, Will, contributed significantly to this obituary. Professor John Jack Beeston GM (1927-35) 07.03.1916 – 13.07.2013 John Beeston was one of twin boys born in Peterborough in 1916 to Joseph and Mabel Beeston, who also had two other sons. The family soon moved to London and John came to Dulwich from Torridon Road Primary School in Catford and was in Marlowe. After his mother died when he was aged 15, John and his brothers were looked after by his maternal aunt, Dorothy ‘Dolly’ Downie, who eventually married their father, Joseph, in 1946. John was a prefect before leaving the College in 1935 and 59

moving to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London to study Medicine. After qualifying as a doctor in 1940, he became a house surgeon at Hallam Street Hospital in the West Bromwich area of Birmingham, and was also involved with the Civil Defence service in Birmingham. On being awarded MRCS and LRCP qualifications in 1942, he moved to become Deputy Medical Officer of Health in the Borough of Willesden in northwest London, and was also the Civil Defence Medical Officer for the County of Middlesex, of which Willesden was a part. Civil Defence work was mostly quiet in 1943 but became much busier in 1944, especially after the D-Day landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944. V1 and later V2 flying bombs inflicted much damage and many casualties in London day and night and led to 1944 being called the ‘Doodlebug summer’ in London. On one occasion, he was called to a house which had been hit by a V1 bomb and found a badly injured woman trapped in the wreckage, with the arms of a chair preventing her from being crushed by several large beams. While attempting to extricate her, the rescuers had to dig a tunnel under a party wall that was itself about to crumble under the weight of the ruins of the building. John had started carrying the new powdered blood plasma with him while on duty, which then was usually used only in hospitals. Practical experience had shown him that it was often a casualty’s heart that gave out during rescues and restoring liquid to the veins could ease the strain. On arriving at the bomb site he saw that freeing the woman would take some time and realised that her heart was failing. Also, coal gas, which was deadly because of its carbon monoxide content, was leaking into the unstable rescue tunnel. Despite this, he retained his nerve and concentration and connected the casualty to the tubes and bottles of his primitive but life-saving solution to effect a blood transfusion. The coal gas was affecting everyone working in the tunnel and the rescuers were relieved from time to time, but John remained with his casualty for 90 minutes, although a fall of debris occurred just as the plasma bottles were being changed. Eventually, the casualty was extricated and brought through the tunnel on a stretcher with the plasma bottle still in position. He was awarded the George Medal for this rescue, which was presented to him by King George VI at Buckingham Palace on 8 May 1945, which was also VE Day. The lengthy citation for his George Medal ended: ‘Dr Beeston showed courage without regard for the dangerous load above and the presence of coal gas. His skill, applied as it was on the spot, undoubtedly saved the life of the woman.’ After the war, he was visiting the United States in 1947, when he met a fellow doctor who introduced him to the campus at the University of California, and once back in England he was offered a one-year appointment at UCLA to teach a course in infectious diseases. He accepted the appointment and liked America so much that he remained there. By 1967 he was Clinical Professor of Preventive Medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as director of the Cleveland 60

Health Museum. Also in 1967, he published his essay, Educating the Public: A Multi-Media Approach. In the late 1970s he moved to the University of Southern California (USC), a private research establishment where he also served as chairman of a task force on student financial aid. In 1984 he received the Distinguished Career Award from the American Public Health Association and, a decade later, his contribution to cancer research and control won him the American Cancer Society’s St George Gold Medal. At the time of his death he was still Emeritus Professor of Medicine at USC. An obituary was published in The Daily Telegraph, on which this obituary is based. A more detailed account of the award presentation on VE Day, written by John Beeston himself, appeared in the Dulwich Yearbook and Alleyn Club Newsletter, Number 40, published in 1999. In his will he bequeathed his George Medal to the College. The medal was presented to the College on 9 November 2013. Christopher Aaron Chai (2008-13) 05.08.1995 – 08.11.2013 Christopher Chai came to the College from the Prep, where he had already established strong and warm friendships and he is recalled with great affection. He was a talented artist who was a particularly gifted draughtsman, with a keen eye for detail and delicate line drawing. Although he chose not to study Art to A level, he always cared about the presentation of his work. While at the College, he was a loyal member of Sidney, notably running the House cross-country race in both of his Upper School years. He studied Biology, Chemistry and French to A level and was awarded his School Colours and the Dulwich Diploma. He was a proud member of the College, unfailingly punctual, and wearing his Dulwich school uniform immaculately. He gave tours to prospective pupils and their parents, and gave his time freely to younger boys, helping members of the Lower School improve their French grammar in French Club, and reading to children in DUCKS, the College kindergarten. After completing his A levels, Christopher went to the University of Surrey to study Biological Sciences, where he died during his first term. Reginald Charles Colman OBE (Assistant Master 1956-69) 05.04.1926 – 11.09.2013 Reg Colman was born an only child in Croydon and attended Whitgift School until the family home was bombed in 1939, when they moved house to Exmouth in Devon and Reg went to Exmouth Grammar School and was their Head Boy in his final year, 1943-44. It was at school that he met Marjorie Hooper, his future wife of 65 years, who was Head Girl at the same school. After leaving school in wartime, he joined the RAF but was still training as a pilot when the war ended and he soon transferred to the Royal Navy

as an education officer, teaching younger recruits at Stonehouse Barracks in Plymouth. He married Marjorie, wearing his Naval uniform, in 1948 and also left military service in that year, leaving Devon to go to Jesus College, Cambridge, to read History. He was awarded a BA in 1951, and then returned to Devon in 1951-52 to the University College of the South-West in Exeter (now Exeter University) to do an MA Certificate in Education, in order to pursue a teaching career. Reg began his school teaching career at King Edward VI School in Louth, Lincolnshire, from 1952 to 1955, before moving on to Dulwich College in January 1956. At Dulwich, he taught History and was boarding housemaster in Ivyholme between 1963 and 1969. In Ivyholme he was a firm disciplinarian but gained the respect and friendship of the boys by his insight into their life and difficulties. He was an officer in the Army section of the CCF and organised the College timetable. He also fostered his interest in education with a series of visits to educational establishments in other parts of the world, notably Scandinavia and the USA, which resulted in American history finding its way onto the History syllabus at Dulwich. He had wanted to go to the Soviet Union for some time but had been stymied by his earlier visit to the USA. He was, however, invited with a colleague to attend a reception at the V&A museum for the Soviet President, Alexei Kosygin, who was on a state visit to London at the time. They arrived to find themselves part of a large crowd of invitees in front of the museum, as the UK’s Labour government tried to demonstrate how popular an Eastern Bloc Cold War leader was in Britain. Keen to avoid being part of a political circus, Reg went around the back of the museum where, by chance, he encountered the visiting Russian party by the back door behind a low, wooden barrier. Suddenly, the man standing next to him jumped over the barrier and grabbed Kosygin by the arm. Reg thought he was about to witness a political assassination, so he leapt over the barrier and pulled the interloper away. Security guards descended on the man (who said he only wanted to shake Kosygin’s hand) and the Russian party hurried into the museum. Reg thought it would be more interesting to follow the Soviet group and tried to follow them. Alexei Kosygin spoke no English but his daughter, Ludmilla, did and in discussion with her and the UK government’s Minister of Culture, Jennie Lee (later Baroness Lee), it was agreed that all objections to Reg’s visit to Russia should be waived and the visit duly went ahead. While in Moscow, he found that the best schools were closely based on the English public school model. Reg moved again to become headmaster of Dover Grammar School in 1969, which, like Dulwich, was also a school with a selective intake, in Kent, which was one of the few counties to retain grammar schools. But this school was run by Kent Education Authority, who were reluctant to spend any money on improving facilities. Despite these restraints, he set about building a school with an even more first rate academic education

allied with a plethora of extra-curricular activities. He remained as headmaster in Dover for 21 years until 1990, when heart problems forced his early retirement at 63, but he did not stop work for long. He had already made several contacts with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and then joined its committee in Kent. He also set up the Kent European Youth Association (KEYA), which encouraged interaction between young people from Kent and others throughout Europe, although at times he felt he was the only person in Kent in favour of the European Union (EU). He was awarded an OBE for services to youth in 2002 with special emphasis on his work for KEYA. He became a member of the governing council of the University of Kent at Canterbury, and was awarded a Doctorate of Letters in Canterbury Cathedral. He was a fine public speaker, never using notes and always inspiring his audiences with his knowledge and, particularly, his sense of humour. He was a noted expert on the life of Sir Winston Churchill. Reg passed away at home and leaves his wife, Marjorie, two sons and one daughter, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His son, Jeremy (63-72), contributed significantly to this obituary. Professor Jeremy Cowan CBE (College Governor 1980-98; Honorary Member of the Alleyn Club) 18.11.1923 – 03.09.2013 Charles Donald Cowan (but invariably known as Jeremy) was the son of a senior railway manager and born in north London in 1923. After Kilburn Grammar School, he went to Peterhouse College, Cambridge, to read History in 1941, but the Second World War soon intervened. He joined the Royal Navy and served as a liaison officer in Dutch submarines in the Far East. After the war, he returned to Peterhouse to complete his degree and then returned to southeast Asia to lecture at Raffles College in Singapore, which became the University of Malaya in 1949. Jeremy returned to the UK in 1950 as a lecturer in Southeast Asian history at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. In 1960 he published his doctoral thesis on British political intervention in Malaya from the 1870s onwards (titled Nineteenth-century Malaya it remains a standard text on the subject) and he was appointed to the chair of Southeast Asian History at the University of London in the same year. Jeremy was a gifted administrator and rose steadily through the ranks at SOAS to become its Director in 1976. This coincided with the tightening of university finances and in the early 1980s government funding for SOAS was slashed. The Thatcher government’s policy on fees for overseas students hit SOAS hard; it lost nearly 40% of its income and had 61

Obituaries

to tighten its belt, including persuading 25% of the academic staff to retire early, which meant the School lost many of its most experienced staff who were world authorities in their fields. He managed the contraction of SOAS with great skill and laid the foundation for the School’s recovery from the late 1980s onwards. In 1988 he was appointed CBE and he stepped down as Director of SOAS in 1989, but this scarcely meant he was retiring from active life. A Dulwich resident, Jeremy had become a governor of JAGS in 1977 and had added the College and Alleyn’s in 1980 and became a trustee of the Dulwich Estate in 1985, continuing all of the latter three of these appointments until 1998. He was Vice Chair of the College Governors during the 1990s. He also chaired the British Academic Committee for Southeast Asian Studies between 1990 and 1997, and he was a member of the Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club until his health recently deteriorated. He first married Mary Vetter and they had two daughters but that marriage was dissolved in 1960. He married Daphne Whittam in 1962 and they remained married until her death in 2004. He is survived by his partner, Veronica, and by one of his daughters (the other one predeceased him). Obituaries were published in The Times and on the SOAS website, on which this obituary is based. Roland Dallas (1946-54) 08.10.1935 – 08.06.2013 Roland Dallas came to the College from the Prep and was in Sidney and boarded in Blew House. He was captain of the Sidney 2nd XV in his final year and also secretary of the Dramatic and 20th Century Play Society. After leaving Dulwich, he did National Service with the Royal Artillery in Hong Kong before going to Lincoln College, Oxford. He graduated in 1959 with a degree in PPE, before moving to the USA and studying at Cornell University for a year and then the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. After a year with the Worcester Telegram in Massachusetts, he joined Reuters’ New York Bureau before moving on to their United Nations team two years later. During more than 15 years with Reuters, he reported from many news centres, mainly in Europe and the Americas. While he was Assistant Manager for Reuters in Latin America, he helped set up a Reuters regional news agency for Latin America in 1970 as a joint venture with leading South American newspapers. In 1981, he joined The Economist to edit their Foreign Report, an eight-page digest of news and speculative stories from around the world. He also contributed to the main Economist magazine, mainly about Latin America. He moved again in 1995, taking the newsletter with him, to specialist defence and security publisher, 62

Jane’s, and wrote a biography of King Hussein of Jordan that was published in 1998. He was an instinctive and accomplished journalist who was proficient in five languages and had a real passion for Latin America. He married Rita and together they had two daughters. In recent years, he suffered from Parkinson’s Disease and lived his last years in Pickering House, a care home in Dorking, Surrey, run by the Journalists’ Charity. A memorial service was held for Roland at St Bride’s, the journalists’ church in Fleet Street, London. He is survived by his wife, Rita, daughters, Sarah and Kate, and several grandchildren, to all of whom he was devoted. David Albert Easton (1929-35) 09.03.1917 – 04.01.2010 David Easton came to Dulwich from Bickley Park School, was in Drake, and whilst at the College was in the Scouts and was a prefect. On leaving Dulwich, he joined banking firm, Morgan, Grenfell & Co, but subsequently claimed that he had only been offered that job because he was a useful cricketer. His colleagues at the bank persuaded him to join the RAF reserve force and he flew a Tiger Moth solo at Biggin Hill in early 1939. Like so many of his generation, at the age of only 22 his life was changed forever by the Second World War. He joined up immediately and was posted to 248 Squadron, flying Blenheims. His only sister, Joan, also joined up, and was a submarine spotter for the WRNS on the Queen Mary in the North Atlantic. David was a shy man and his mild manner perhaps guided the authorities to assign him to relatively uneventful patrols over Norway, where he recounted dodging into clouds to avoid Messerschmitts. In 1942, when returning from a long night patrol, they suddenly found themselves flying directly at what seemed to be the lights of a radio mast. David pulled the plane up sharply and it skidded and crashed along an airfield runway; they had been, in fact, disoriented and diving almost vertically towards the airfield lights on the ground! He was quickly retrained on Sunderlands and transferred to 201 Squadron for North Atlantic anti-submarine and convoy protection patrols. His last RAF plane, the Sunderland ML 814, is now preserved in the Weeks Fantasy of Flight museum in Florida. He was wryly amused to find his name included with the men of 248 Squadron on the 2005 Battle of Britain Monument on the Victoria Embankment in London. After the war, he joined BOAC as a pilot on the Flying Boat routes to South Africa, landing on African lakes. This is where he met his wife, Kathleen Pett, who was an air hostess. He eventually retired as a captain of Boeing 707s after 40 years of flying. He never

regretted giving up his fledgling banking career but was staunchly opposed to all war, only once visiting the Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede, where he stared sadly at the names of lost comrades, some of whom he remembered chucking the Sunderland round the sky like a fighter plane’. This obituary was contributed by David and Kathleen’s son, Robert. Jeremy Gotch (College Governor, 1994-2004) 06.06.1934 – 28.08.2013 The son of a banker with HSBC, Jeremy Gotch was born in Shanghai, China, on 6 June 1934. At that time, the Japanese were already advancing across China but the International Settlement, with its British neighbourhood modelled on Surrey’s stockbroker belt, remained untouched even after Shanghai itself fell in 1937. After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour, the International Settlement was occupied and its British and American residents were interned in a nearby school at Lunghwa. Among the other young internees was Jim Ballard, who, as J G Ballard, would recall their experiences four decades later in his novel, Empire of the Sun. After Shanghai was liberated in 1945, Jeremy became a boarder at Berkhamsted School, where he was in the cricket 1st XI and was captain of boxing. He returned to Asia to do National Service in the Royal Army Service Corps in Malaya. After reading Modern Languages at Jesus College, Cambridge, he joined Shell in 1957 and was sent to Chile. Two years later he began his career in international freight with a move to Traffic Services London, becoming its Managing Director in 1968 and Chairman ten years later. From 1986 to 1991 he was Managing Director of Caib UK’s rail division, specialising in heavy bulk freight using its own wagons. He pioneered the use of tank containers for the transport of chemicals, grain, and china clay between Britain and Continental Europe. He also chaired a group that produced best practice guidelines for the transport and storage of anhydrous ammonia, and lectured extensively on such technical matters in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. He became a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport, its Vice President from 1990 to 1993, and he chaired the Association of Private Wagon Owners from 1980 to 1991. After retiring, he immersed himself in charitable work in the City of London and in Dulwich, his home for 54 years, and became a highly effective charity fundraiser. In 1995-96, he chaired the Lord Mayor’s Appeal for St John Ambulance which raised £1.2m. At home, he was secretary of the Dulwich Sports Club from 1964 to 1973; a trustee of the Dulwich Estate for 24 years, and Chairman from 1984 to 1986; a Governor of Dulwich

College for ten years; and Chairman of the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery for three years. He was also warden of the St Olave’s and St Saviour’s Foundation from 2001 to 2003. Unlike Jim Ballard, he did not write a book about his two-and-a-half years in captivity (he was only 12 when the war ended and he was liberated), but the period left a deep impression. He later gave talks to schools about growing up in such adverse conditions and dealing with privation at an early age. Jeremy Gotch is survived by his wife, Janet, whom he married in 1957, and by two daughters, an OA son, Christopher (79-88), and five grandchildren. An obituary was published in The Telegraph, on which this account is based. Dr Alan Keith Hancock (1935-40) 12.08.1924 - 10.09.2011 Alan Hancock came to Dulwich from The Hall Preparatory School, Beckenham, and was in Spenser. He left the College in 1940 during the Blitz bombing of British cities and completed his education at Pocklington School, near York. After leaving school, he joined the RAF and became a Flight Lieutenant. After the war ended, he returned to London and went to Guy’s Hospital Medical School, graduating with MRCS and LRCP qualifications in 1949. Later that year, he married Brenda Mary Evans. His first appointment was as a house surgeon at Tunbridge Wells District Hospital at Pembury in Kent. Alan and Brenda emigrated to Canada in 1951, with Alan initially working at the Crease Clinic of Psychiatric Medicine in Essondale, British Columbia. They soon moved to Vancouver Island and settled in Campbell River in 1954, where their four sons grew up and Alan began a GP practice with Dr Richard Murphy. Together with Dr Murphy and Dr John Ross, he founded the Alder Medical Centre in 1965. After 41 years of service to the people of Campbell River, he retired in 1995 at the age of 71. Alan missed work and contact with patients and soon resumed medicine in smaller communities on Vancouver Island, such as Gold River and Tahsis. In 1999 he was recognised with an award from the Canadian Medical Association for his long years of service in medicine. Alan loved classical music, often playing his favourite pieces on the family piano, and frequently travelling to Victoria for classical music concerts or opera performances. He was also a keen gardener, growing everything from vegetables to fine roses in the family garden. He loved fly-fishing with friends, especially in the nearby Upper Quinsam Lake area, but also liked to travel further afield. Along with regular return visits to Britain, he also toured Namibia, Saudi Arabia, Australia 63

and New Zealand, and in Cuba had the pleasure of meeting Russian Cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. Alan passed away peacefully at the age of 87, surrounded by his family, in September 2011. He was predeceased by his son, John, and sister, Audrey, but leaves behind his loving wife, Brenda, after 62 years of marriage and three sons, five grandchildren and one young great-grandchild. An obituary was published in the Campbell River Mirror, on which this obituary is based. Keith George Hasnip (1941-48) 09.08.1929 – 19.12.2013 Keith Hasnip was born in Bellingham, South London, came to Dulwich from Torridon Road Primary School in Catford in 1940, and was in Raleigh. This was wartime, however, and the College was bombed and the Science Building destroyed. The College was closed for younger boys and he was evacuated first to Bridport, Dorset, and later to Cornwall. Eventually, Dulwich College fully re-opened and he was able to complete his school education in 1948. While at the College, he was a Flight Sergeant in the Air Training Corps (ATC) and a school prefect. After leaving Dulwich he did National Service, spending two years in the RAF as a radar operator. A natural scholar and linguist, he went to Caius College, Cambridge, in 1950 to study Modern Languages, specifically French and German, despite not actually visiting Germany for the first time until 1951. After passing his Part II exams in 1953, he stayed on in Cambridge to do a PGCE in order to become a teacher. In his PGCE year, he met Audrey Mary Leach, who was also completing her PGCE. They became engaged and both obtained teaching posts in Abingdon, Oxfordshire; Keith at Abingdon School and Audrey at St Helen and St Katherine’s Girls’ School. They were married in 1955. Keith spent 40 years teaching at Abingdon and fulfilled many different roles during this time. He taught French and German, and in 1989 became Head of Modern Languages until his retirement in 1994. From 1967 to 1979 he was Housemaster in Waste Court, a boarding house for younger boys. He set up a school exchange with Bielefeld in Germany at a time when such things were new and complex to arrange, but this exchange scheme continues at the school today. He was President of the Common Room for several years. He took responsibility for the school library as chief librarian, acted as a Scout leader for the school Scout troop, and took over the management of school buildings where he was responsible for buildings, the school fives courts and various school garages. 64

After retirement Keith and Audrey both joined the Abingdon Town Council, representing the Liberal Democrat party for 12 years (three full council terms). They each spent one year as Mayor of Abingdon, contributing to the life of the town in a wide variety of ways. As well as a love of languages, Keith loved the Arts and was also an avid reader, often reading five or six books at any one time, including poetry, fiction, biographies, essays and the classics. He loved theatre, particularly Shakespeare, but was equally happy with a good production of Oscar Wilde or a rousing farce. He had a love of a wide range of music, including classical orchestral, opera and musical theatre. His love of art led him to be one of the founding members of National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies in Abingdon, and he rarely visited or travelled anywhere without first researching what could be seen of historical and artistic importance while there. He enjoyed good food, loved making jams, pickles and chutneys, and on retirement expanded his culinary range thanks to Delia Smith. He also loved chocolate and cats. Keith is survived by his wife, Audrey, their four children and seven grandchildren, and will be fondly remembered for his wonderful speaking and reading voice and his infectious, instantly recognisable booming laugh. One of Keith and Audrey’s daughters, Jill Mowforth, contributed this obituary. James Alan Hebdon (1943-47) 03.04.1929 - 09.04.2013 James Hebdon came to Dulwich from Bickley Hall Preparatory School and was in Grenville. He was in the College shooting VIII in 1947. After leaving Dulwich, he was called up for National Service, commissioned in the Royal Artillery at Mons Barracks, and served for three years. He married Avril Williams in 1955 and together they had three children. After retiring he moved to Instow, north Devon, and became very involved in the North Devon Yacht Club, particularly with training young sailors. He also volunteered with the RNLI. He is survived by his three children and and by six grandchildren. Peter John Hiscock (1958-65) 25.11.1946 - 23.12.2012 Peter Hiscock came to Dulwich from Sunnyhill Junior School in Streatham and was in Grenville. He was captain of athletics, a prefect, and a member of the College choir. On leaving the College he began training as an actuary but after two years moved into IT, where he remained for the rest of his career. He spent his early working life building his experience in various computer-related roles, including a short period in Frankfurt, Germany, and three years in Edinburgh, where he met and married his first wife, Patricia. In 1977 he started his own business, providing computer

systems to specific business sectors, including the construction industry to recruitment agencies, and this business continued successfully into the 1990s. In 1994 he married his second wife, Julia, who shared his love of holidays in France, music, photography and long walks in the Surrey countryside. His other interests were fast cars, skiing and cats. For more than 20 years, he was a trustee of the Friends of Guy’s Hospital, which entailed supporting their computer system, producing their annual reports and contributing to decisions about the best use of funds to support patients, relatives and staff. He retired early from his role as Operations Director of In Practice Systems Ltd, a leading primary healthcare software provider, after fifteen years of service. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2001 but remained positive throughout his illness. Dearly loved by many, his strength and courage will continue to be an inspiration. Peter’s wife, Julia, contributed this obituary. Dr Clifford Weston Howell (1952-60) 17.04.1941 - 16.08.2012 Weston Howell (he was always known by his second name) was born in south Wales in 1941 and stayed there with his mother for the duration of the war. His mother returned with him to Catford when he was five so that he could start school. He came to Dulwich with a scholarship from Torridon Road Primary School in Catford and was in Drake. While at Dulwich he was a good rugby player, which was when he used to think of himself as Welsh. He played for the College 1st XV in his O level year and for London Welsh while still at school, but getting tuberculosis at the end of the Remove year put an end to his rugby playing. After leaving the College, he went to Guy’s Hospital, London, as a medical student, and soon met Jean there, who was training to be a radiographer. Weston and Jean married and on qualification as a doctor, he became a junior house officer in Brighton, where Pippa, the first of four daughters, was born. Shortly after, he joined the Royal Navy, which gave him his life-long love of the sea and boats, to do his National Service as a medical officer in Malta, where a second daughter, Sian, was born. After leaving the Navy, he briefly returned to Brighton as a senior house officer, before he was appointed Registrar at King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill in 1967. He he spent more than 30 years there. He had a break from King’s with a year’s fellowship in 1971 at Baylor Medical School, in Houston, Texas, developing his speciality in cardiac anaesthesia. A third daughter, Nina, was born in Houston, before the growing family returned to London and Weston became a consultant anaesthetist in 1973 at King’s. A fourth and final daughter, Beccy, was born at King’s in 1973. He remained at King’s and was Clinical Director there for ten years until his retirement in 2001.

He was a keen sailor and was always very happy sailing on his boat with friends. He also loved the family holiday home in the Alps – skiing in winter and sitting on the terrace with family, friends and a glass of wine in summer. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with the family, particularly his grandchildren, for whom he always repaired any of their broken toys in his workshop. Sadly, this enjoyment was cut short when a brain tumour was diagnosed in May 2012, and he died peacefully at home a few months later. He was a generous and sociable host, reflected in more than 300 people turning up to his memorial service in the Old Library. Weston’s wife, Jean, has contributed significantly to this obituary. Moelwyn Weston Howell (1958-65) 24.01.1947 - 25.06.2013 Moelwyn Howell came to Dulwich from Torridon Primary School in Catford, like his older brother, Weston, and was in Drake. While at the College he was in the swimming team. After leaving Dulwich, he became an articled clerk at an accountancy firm and on completing his accounting studies, he became a chartered accountant and later a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. He initially bought property in London and developed a career as an accountant in the UK and Europe. He emigrated to Australia in 1978, where he married and had three daughters and two sons. Moelwyn furthered his career in Australia, focusing on company accounting and holding senior management roles in various organisations in the manufacturing and health sectors, and for the government. He had a life-long love of sport which started while he was at Dulwich, where he developed a passion for rugby union. He played for London Welsh and Sydney Welsh rugby clubs, as well as a few other local teams in Sydney. Sadly, Moelwyn passed away on 25 June 2013 after a stroke. He is greatly missed and fondly remembered by all his family and friends. One of his daughters contributed this obituary. Dr Steve Hoyle (Honorary Staff Member 1981-2011) 03.02.1952 – 01.05.2012 Steve Hoyle was educated at Bradford Grammar School and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, where he read Geography. He remained at SOAS to do a PhD in Geography, finally leaving in 1976 and moving to Bedford College, also at the 65

University of London, as a tutorial research student, where he remained for two years. Throughout this period his research interests were specifically the settlement of nomads at Khashm el Girba in Sudan, and more generally Third World agricultural and rural development. In 1978 he moved to become a lecturer at Bayero University in Kano, Nigeria, for two years, before returning to the UK to join the College teaching staff in 1981. He remained at Dulwich for 30 years. Not only was he a good geographer; part of his great success as a teacher was his ability to cut through the sprawl of a topic to find its core, and his masterfully concise notes were keenly appreciated by his pupils. In the halcyon days before health and safety had broken the spirit of adventurous field work, Steve was very keen on Geography field trips, both in the UK and overseas. His love of the outdoors was further demonstrated on College Scout camps. He was Head of Geography at the College from 1984 to 1991 and being well-organised and efficient as usual, he assumed the responsibility without fuss. This period saw plenty of educational change and he steered the Geography department through the introduction of GCSEs and modular A levels. Another skill was marking, and he did much external exam marking in the summer, initially to fund holidays abroad for his family, and he ended up as a chief examiner. He was also a friendly and supportive form tutor in the Upper School for many years, and a dedicated housemaster for Howard for the Middle School from 1983 to 2005 before moving on to the Upper School. His archival memory of all the boys he ever encountered at Dulwich was truly impressive; not only recalling their names and their successes but also their foibles. He was a natural choice to be a housemaster because he was very interested in sport. He was a coach of rugby teams and a referee for matches. He promoted soccer at the school and played in numerous staff v boys matches, of which his highlight was the one against a team including his son, Joe (96-04), where the staff won, and he never let Joe forget this! In the summer he coached cricket and was also an accomplished wicket-keeper and batsman for the Common Room XI. He became Head of Games and brought to the role his unfailing enthusiasm, fairness and efficiency. He was elected President of the Common Room at the College, where he was wholeheartedly committed to representing all teaching staff. He brought professionalism and good humour to salary discussions with the College Governors, in order to obtain the best possible deal for his colleagues. He ran the Common Room bar for several years and also played bridge for the Common Room team in the London Trophy for more than a decade. With all this work and time spent on the College, Steve did not have much spare time, but he was a science-fiction fan with an extensive book and DVD collection and an encyclopaedic knowledge of his collection.

Dr Steve Hoyle retired from the College in 2011, and died peacefully after a short stay in St Christopher’s Hospice in May 2012. His friend and colleague at the College, Maggie Jarman, contributed significantly to this obituary. Robert Alan Hunt OBE (1946-53) 06.07.1935 – 15.05.2013 Robert Hunt came to Dulwich on a LCC scholarship from Effra Parade Primary School in Brixton and was in Drake. He represented the College at rugby and particularly cricket where he was a talented fast bowler and slip fielder in the 1st XI. He also played for Surrey Young Amateurs and was on the ground staff at the Oval during the summer of 1953. He went straight into the Royal Artillery for his National Service after leaving Dulwich, having followed his father’s advice not to apply for a commission as an officer because he would learn more as ‘one of the men’. Bob joined the Metropolitan Police in 1955. This was partly because he had met a nursery school teacher, Jean White, while doing his National Service, and the Met Police offered married living quarters for its young officers. He and Jean married in 1956 and they produced three daughters and one son. Bob’s early years with the Met were spent policing multicultural inner city areas, in south London. He was shocked to learn at his first briefing that he had lived alongside a number of ‘known villains’ in the Herne Hill council flats where he had grown up. He was struck by the gulf between the police and the public and was soon convinced of the need for better communication to bridge that gulf. His interest in community policing and communication, along with his experience of multicultural areas led to a spell in New Scotland Yard’s Community Relations branch, where he devised a new model for police visits to schools that was subsequently adopted nationally. He rose quickly through the police ranks, gaining a reputation for establishing, maintaining and restoring public order during the 1968 anti-war demonstration in Grosvenor Square. In 1970 he was awarded a Law degree as an external candidate at the University of London, which fulfilled an ambition that he had set aside in favour of National Service after leaving Dulwich. In 1972 his argument on the theme of better communication won him the Queen’s Gold Medal in a police essay competition. He also had a reputation for mentoring promising young police officers, especially those from modest backgrounds and in giving female officers opportunities to demonstrate their ability. He worked on the increasingly urgent issue of police relations with London’s black communities and in 1973 was appointed a Chief Superintendent at the height of the IRA’s mainland bombing campaign. He narrowly escaped being blown up by a bomb at Madame

Tussauds, was closely involved in the successful resolution of the Balcombe Street siege and was credited with having restored order during the Notting Hill riots in 1976. As head of New Scotland Yard’s Public Order branch between 1977 and 1979, Bob was in charge of policing many demonstrations, strikes, football-related violence and terrorist incidents. He also embarked on transforming police strategy and tactics in the public order field, and devised the Gold (strategic), Silver (tactical) and Bronze (implementation) command structure for policing disorder, which is still in use today. After the 1981 Brixton riots, he worked closely with the Home Office to review the police response and oversaw the production of the first ACPO Tactical Options Manual, which became the foundation for public order training nationally. He was appointed OBE in 1984. In 1986 he underwent a triple heart bypass operation but then returned to work as the head of the Force Inspectorate from 1987 to 1990, when he was promoted to Assistant Commissioner Territorial Operations, with responsibility for operations at all police stations in London, and was awarded the Queen’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service in 1991. From 1993 he led a radical reorganisation to modernise police managerial structures and philosophy. Once he had completed this, he retired in April 1995, as the longest-serving officer in the Metropolitan Police. His retirement message summed up his policing philosophy:‘There has to be partnership – working with the public, not against them.’

had married in 1939, just days before the outbreak of war. His duties as a fireman were limited, only having to attend one fire, in a hen house that had been caused by a stray match. While on duty waiting for fires to fight, he was able to refine his lecturing skills in talks about art and commerce to his colleagues. After the war ended he returned to his job at the bank, but left again soon afterwards to take an emergency course in teaching for mature students, because schools were very short-staffed at that time. For a few years after the course, he taught at an LCC secondary school in London but, in 1955, he became head of the Commercial department at Oxford City Technical School in Cowley Road, Oxford. When the school moved to a new site in Headington, which later became Oxford Brookes University, the whole commercial department finally settled there.

He is survived by Jean and their four children. Obituaries were published in The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, on which this obituary is based.

His great love outside work was music. He had played the clarinet in the College band when he was at Dulwich, and in his retirement he took up the double bass so that he could play in an amateur orchestra. He carried his double bass through the streets with a case covering it because it had not been supplied with one, causing great concern to his family and friends. He took a piano teaching diploma and attended many piano courses to further his musical skills. He was a keen member of a piano group who latterly, due to Eddie’s great age and virtual blindness, met at his home for rehearsals, right up until the time he and Marie, at the ages of 103 and 98 respectively, needed to move into residential care. As part of his centenary birthday celebrations, he had taken a lead role in a concert put on by his family at Ickford parish church, performing his own compositions and entertaining the audience. His family and friends have many happy memories of help and hospitality on these occasions. He is survived by Marie after more than 72 years of marriage. Their niece, Dorothy Oxley, contributed significantly to this obituary.

Alfred Edward Jenkinson (1920-27) 14.05.1909 – 04.03.2013

Dr Peter Le Couteur (1938-42) 17.09.1924 – 04.03.2013

Eddie Jenkinson grew up in Peckham, south London, and came to Dulwich at the age of 11 from Ivydale Road Primary School, Peckham Rye, having obtained a scholarship, and he was in Raleigh. After leaving the College, he joined the St Mary Axe branch of the Westminster Bank in the City of London. There, all the work was done by hand (there being no computers to help with the calculations or to write the ledgers in those days, of course). While working at the bank, he was also studying at night school to obtain a Commerce degree. In 1939, being a conscientious objector, he was conscripted into the Fire Service during the Second World War. This meant he was able to spend much of the war years living at home in Beckenham with his wife, Marie, whom he

Peter Le Couteur and his parents left Guernsey when he was 14, made their home in Beckenham, and Peter came to Dulwich. After leaving the College, he went to the University of London to read Electronics, before gaining a place at Oxford and earning a PhD in Chemistry. While at Oxford, he was a rower and his doctorate thesis was published. He became a research chemist before moving on to become Chief Executive at Rank-Brimar in Sidcup. For quite a few years before his retirement, he was a patents examiner.

In retirement, he acted as an adviser to police forces in Jamaica, Uganda and the British Virgin Islands, as well as helping the elderly in his local community in Banstead, Surrey.

Outside work, Peter had many interests and hobbies. He went ice skating at Richmond ice rink with the Civil Service Skating Club, was an extremely competent ballroom dancer and was the sound effects person for the Worcester Park Dramatic Society, where he was latterly made an honorary member. He loved reading and had an extensive library on many subjects, including 67

art, music and biographies. He particularly liked attending jazz and classical music concerts, and was an avid admirer and supporter of local artists. By way of contrast, he was a crack rifle shot and a dab hand with throwing knives. He was also a long-time member of the Motor Cycle Club, and was a formidable competitor in classic car trials and one-day sporting trials, winning many cups and trophies. Peter will be remembered for being kind, considerate and a perfect gentleman, who was held in high esteem by everyone who knew him. Brenda Betts contributed significantly to this obituary. Vincent Lee-Brown (1933-36) 12.04.1920 – 05.04.2013 Vincent Lee-Brown came to the College from the Prep and was in Spenser. After leaving Dulwich, he went to the Northampton Engineering College in London, which subsequently became City University. After a period as a student apprentice with Alfred Herbert Ltd, machine tool makers of Coventry, he joined the tool room of Leyland Motors Ltd to engage in tool design with the Hawker Aircraft Company for the manufacture and servicing of Hurricanes and Typhoons. He was awarded the Full Technological Certificate of the City and Guilds of London Institute (first class, with silver medal) in Machine Shop Engineering in 1944, and for more than 60 years he was a chartered manufacturing engineer and electrical engineer. As Assistant Chief Draughtsman with Kent Alloys Ltd, he supervised tool design for machining castings for Sterling, Sunderland and Mosquito fighter bombers. Later, he became a mechanical engineer in the research department of Thorn Bendix Ltd, working on War Office contracts. When funds were withdrawn and the factory closed, he founded the Precision Parts Company, which specialised in the development and manufacture of tungsten halogen lighting equipment for some thirty years. Greatly absorbed by mountaineering, Vincent led three expeditions to the Pyrenees and to Lapland in the 1950s and was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society for more than 60 years. He also founded a walking club of which he was Life President. For several years he sailed his ketch from Gosport to Cherbourg, Guernsey and the Isles of Scilly. His love of the countryside extended to growing conifers, maples and azaleas in the gardens of his homes in Kingswood and then Dunsfold, both in Surrey. With his ever supportive wife, Patricia, he shared the good fortune of a strong family bond with his daughter, two sons and seven grandchildren. His younger son, Michael (79-83), who won the top scholarship to the College in his year, now runs his own accountancy business. Just prior to their golden wedding anniversary in 2007, Vincent was elected a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He derived much pleasure from the knowledge that his mother was directly descended from John Armstrong (1722–1806), who was 68

the grandfather of Lord Armstrong FRS of Cragside, a former President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Vincent will be sorely missed by all who knew him, and contributed significantly to his own obituary. Leslie James Leggett (1935-39) 04.06.1921 – 29.11.2011 Leslie Leggett was the son of a schoolteacher and lived in Brockley. He came to the College from the Prep and was in Spenser. He was in the College shooting team in 1938-39 and also played rugby. After leaving Dulwich in 1939, he started pre-clinical training at Guy’s Hospital Dental School in London. He qualified in 1944 and was granted a Licence in Dental Surgery by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, England (LDS RCS Eng). He joined the RAF in the same year, serving as Dental Officer at many RAF stations across Britain. While at RAF Compton Bassett in 1946, he met Signals Officer Anne Kirby-Burt and they later married. After demobilisation in 1948, Leslie was offered a post at Liverpool University School of Dental Surgery as Lecturer in Conservative Dental Surgery. The newlyformed National Health Service created opportunities that soon brought him back to London, where he was appointed Senior Hospital Dental Officer in the newly-formed Department of Conservative Dentistry at the Eastman Dental Hospital in Gray’s Inn Road. He continued to work for the Eastman but in 1959 he purchased an obsolete dental workstation from them and also set up a surgery at the family home in Bromley. He lost his first wife, Anne, to cancer in 1963 and stoically set about bringing up his two sons with some help from family and friends. The home surgery proved a useful source of additional income and allowed Leslie to build a loyal group of regular patients who stayed with him throughout his professional life. In 1973 he was made Consultant Dental Surgeon at the Eastman, a position he held until his retirement in 1986. His retirement dinner was held at the RAF Club in Piccadilly, where, according to his department secretary, Sheila Morgan, he was the only person in her memory to receive a standing ovation. Aged 75, Leslie married Myrtle and moved to Norwich. He continued with the dental practice at home until finally hanging up the drill in 2003, aged 82. His original surgery equipment is now kept in the archives of the British Dental Association as a perfect example of post-war dental technology. He lost Myrtle, again to cancer, in 2005, and spent his remaining years in the company of his two sons, Peter and Chris, with Chris assuming the role of principal carer. He passed away in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital on 29 November 2011, after a brief illness following a minor stroke. Leslie’s son, Peter, contributed significantly to this obituary.

David Martin Le Vay (1951-60) 15.08.1941 – 08.12.2010 Martin Le Vay was the eldest son of two successful medical consultants and had four brothers who all also came to the College and remained close to him. He came to the College from the Prep and was in Sidney. On leaving Dulwich, he went straight to Pembroke College, Oxford, with an Exhibition scholarship to read Classics. After graduating, he worked initially in a lawyer’s office in Farnham, Surrey, got married and had two daughters. But the marriage broke up and he eventually settled back in Oxford. Martin’s sharp and analytical mind combined well with a quiet and quizzical sense of humour. He enjoyed company in small groups, playing bridge with casual panache and engaging in a frequent flutter on the horses. Sadly, his life was affected by periods of ill health and he remained in Oxford for the rest of his troubled life, sustained by music, books, family and friends. He wrote poetry with classical clarity and humour, and was generally to be found with a cigarette and a mug of coffee. Despite his health problems, which he faced with fortitude and a wry smile, he was always good company, being kind and considerate to those around him. One of the last major family events in Oxford was the wedding of his solicitor niece at Keble College, where she had studied. Lung cancer finally defeated him but he was not alone, being well cared for in the Churchill Hospital and by his brothers and their families. His reconciliation in later years with his daughter, Rachel, and her daughter gave him much needed comfort. Dirk FitzHugh (5359) contributed an obituary to the Pembroke College equivalent of the Yearbook in 2010-11 on which this obituary is based. Richard Arthur Lough (1947-48) 22.11.1931 – 07.07.2013 Richard Lough was born in West Wickham, the youngest of three children to Arthur and Muriel Lough. He grew up and went to school in West Wickham until his father, who worked for the Admiralty, was posted to Bath. The family moved to Keynsham and Richard attended Bristol Grammar School. The family returned to London and West Wickham just before Richard left school, and he transferred from Bristol Grammar School to Dulwich College for just one academic year, and was in Grenville. He was vocally gifted and while at school, he sang with the choirs at West Wickham and Keynsham parish churches, and also sang at Bath Abbey. After leaving Dulwich, he was soon called up for National Service. He joined the Army, was commissioned as a

Royal Artillery Officer, and soon saw active service in Korea. While in Korea, he was taken prisoner, but he escaped and rejoined his regiment. He was then seriously wounded, breaking his back and fracturing his skull, and after time in a field hospital and a permanent hospital in Japan, he was repatriated to the UK on a Danish hospital ship, arriving home as a young man in his early twenties, having had a difficult war. He convalesced at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight and eventually recovered sufficiently to play rugby, which was a lifelong passion, at Blackheath and Beckenham rugby clubs. While convalescing, he met Hazel Mockford and they married in February 1960 and produced two children, Jennifer and James. In 1956, Richard joined the British Bank of the Middle East, which was a merchant bank that was part of HSBC. Shortly after his banking career started, oil was found in the Middle East and banking moved to a new, higher level as economic development started apace. In 1968 he had a sabbatical year in Lebanon, where he attended the Middle Eastern Centre for Arabic Studies (MECAS). He was often the most senior bank employee or manager of any company in a country and therefore had an important communications role to play at times, especially as a he spoke fluent Arabic and was a specialist in Middle Eastern countries. His subsequent career saw him work in 15 different Middle Eastern countries, plus Hong Kong and India, where he mixed with a wide variety of people including ambassadors, billionaires, princes and emirs. His expatriate career spanned from living in Dubai in 1960, where there was no electricity and few facilities, to Hong Kong in 1985, where they literally had all mod cons. Richard retired in 1985 and he and Hazel returned to England, first to the New Forest and then to Moreton, near Dorchester, where he took up ‘pottering’. Richard was so good at this that he was once mistaken for an odd job man at his own home by a man who was working there, and who accused him of poaching his clients. His great passions, apart from his family, were his life-long love of rugby and cricket. He was a churchwarden at Moreton and played a role in numerous charities, including CRUSE, the bereavement charity. They moved to live in Coombe Bissett, just outside Salisbury, in 1993. In February 2013 he was diagnosed with cancer, which caused his death on 7 July at Salisbury Hospice with his family at his side. His funeral on 17 July in Coombe Bissett was held in the presence of his family, friends and acquaintances, a large congregation that illustrated the extent of his life and achievements. His son, James, contributed this obituary.

School in Frankfurt and was in Grenville and Blew House. After leaving the College, he went to study at Northampton Polytechnic (now City University) in London. During World War Two he was a Private in the Pioneer Corps, before transferring to the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), and he also changed his last name to Lynfield in 1940. After the war ended, he graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1946, and joined the ICI patents department in Billingham in the same year, becoming a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents in 1950. Also in 1950, he emigrated to America, and joined law firm Langner, Parry, Card & Langner in New York as a patent attorney. He was awarded an LLB law degree the New York University Law School in 1958 and became a partner in Ladas & Parry (New York) in 1966, rising to Senior Partner before his retirement in 1981. After retirement from legal work, he embarked on a second career of sculpting, painting and writing, including histories of places in Connecticut and Florida, and of remarkable families. Geoffrey and his wife, Hansi, were happily married for 65 years, and had two sons, Peter and Michael (6974), and one daughter, the late Jacqueline, and he was proud grandfather to six grandchildren.

Richard David Nancarrow (1948-54) 15.09.1937 – 20.04.2013 Richard ‘Dickie’ Nancarrow came to Dulwich from St Michael’s School in Southfields as part of the Gilkes Experiment and was in Drake. He cut a unique figure among the cloisters of the College. Always favouring black pinstripe trousers to the usual grey of his contemporaries, he was tall yet had the premature stoop of an academic, or in his case, a jazz buff. He started the Modern Rhythm Society and was its Secretary for three years. The Society met regularly in the North Block, crouching around a portable record player, discussing the merits of trumpeters Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong, and trombonists Kid Ory and Jack Teagarden, for example. There were cries of ‘foul’ when Bruce Turner, OA, edged out Bud Freeman in the saxophone category. After leaving Dulwich, Dickie did his National Service with the RAF and from there went into banking. He held quite a senior position with the Westminster Bank in High Street, Kensington, when he decided to change direction. He moved into advertising space sales with IPC Magazines in Manchester and later had his own business in that field. He had two near misses on the marital front, but was still known in his later years to be living in a four-bedroomed house in a smart Manchester suburb. Behind the façade of an earnest single businessman ploughing a lonely furrow, lurked a sought-after and accomplished jazz drummer. Dickie would take his drumkit far and wide, even back to 70

the College for the memorable OA rugby centenary fundraising party in 1998. His humour and wit was expressed through his drumming, through rimshots, explosions and paradiddles that forced the toes to tap and heart to soar. He was a happy and very good drummer who is really missed by many. John Izod (46-53) contributed this obituary. Peter Ashley Robertson Niven (1948-56) 03.03.1938 – 07.03.2013 Peter Niven was born in St Bartholomew’s Hospital in central London as the eldest son of a City of London Police detective. He entered the College from Dulwich Hamlet Primary School, was in Spenser and soon excelled at sport. He played in the College’s first ever hockey team and was captain of hockey the following year. He played fullback for the 1st XV in his final year, when he also captained an unbeaten 2nd XI cricket team, for whom he bowled off-breaks and was a very good slip fielder. He captained Carver House, when the pavilion had to house younger boarders soon after the Second World War and subsequently captained Blew House. He was also gifted academically, winning a State Scholarship and an Open Exhibition in Natural Sciences to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Again he excelled at sport but also returned to London with a fine degree. He was initially at the Samaritan and Queen Charlotte’s hospitals, but then returned to Bart’s as Senior Registrar. This was also where he met a nurse, Peta, and they spent 48 happily married years together. He trained to become a gynaecologist while at Bart’s, gaining FRCS and FRCOG degrees. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists awarded him an Eden Fellowship in 1973 to go to Miami to study human placental lactogen. He became a consultant, first in Newcastle and then in Bristol. The Royal College writes: ‘He quickly established a reputation as an outstanding doctor, noted not only for his skill as a surgeon and obstetrician, but also for his warmth and humanity. His seemingly boundless interest and concern for his patients and the staff with whom he worked was legendary. All his nursing, midwifery and medical colleagues wanted Peter to look after them in their pregnancies.’ Immaculately dressed and often wearing an OA tie, he had many interests. He played rugby for Clifton in Bristol and was a keen golfer and skier. With three contemporary OAs, he rowed the length of the River Thames, raising money for a school bursary, and they were welcomed by the Master at the College boathouse in Putney. He lectured regularly in Bristol on Sir Ernest Shackleton, OA, whose grave he visited in South Georgia. The much loved elder brother of Colin (52-60) and Alastair (54-63),, with whom he overlapped at school, he was, in the words of the former President of the Alleyn Club, Brigadier Walker, ‘revered by everyone’. One of Peter’s younger brothers, Colin, contributed this obituary.

Dr Brian David Owen-Smith (1948-57) 29.05.1938 – 11.12.2013 Brian Owen-Smith was the younger of two brothers who came to Dulwich. He came to the College from Ingleside College in West Wickham and was in Sidney. He was also a boarder for his entire time at Dulwich, starting in The Orchard before moving on to Blew House, where he eventually became Head of House. He was a talented sportsman and played rugby as the hooker in the scrum for the school from the under 14s to the 1st XV. He played for the 1st XV for all of his last three years at the College, and was captain in his final year. He was also captain of the Kent Schools team in that year. His other major sport was swimming and he also competed at diving. He was also in the swimming team for all of his last three years and, like the rugby team, he was captain of swimming in his final year. After leaving Dulwich, Brian went to Queen’s College, Cambridge, to read Natural Sciences and was awarded a BA degree in 1960. He then returned to London and Guy’s Hospital Medical School, where he qualified as MB BChir, LRCP (Lond) and MRCS (Eng) in 1964, and then MRCP (Lond) in 1970. His first position after qualifying was as Medical Registrar at Prospect Park Hospital in Reading in 1964-65, before moving on to become a lecturer in clinical pharmacology at the Indiana State University Medical School in 1966. He specialised in physical medicine, and rheumatology and rehabilitation medicine, being awarded a diploma in physical medicine in 1970, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP, Lond) in 1984. He held a senior post at the National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath and at the same time lectured in clinical pharmacology at the University of Bath. He then moved to St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, where he was Specialist Consultant in rheumatology as well as Director of the Rehabilitation Unit at Donald Wilson House, establishing a successful weekday care unit. He continued his research into the production of uric acid and its value as a marker of metabolic impairment (pre-eclampsia), which he had started in the USA. He was a qualified history of medicine proponent and was active within the Benjamin Franklin Society. He was President of the Hunterian Society of London in 1999-2000 and during his presidential term he spoke about the polymath Franklin. Brian married Rose, a nurse he had met while working in Reading in the 1960s, and together they had two children, Emma and Tim. He was a devoted family man, an ardent supporter of the Alleyn Club and an active member of the Alleynian Sailing Society. He also continued to play rugby after leaving the College, playing county rugby for Surrey as well as for the OAFC. In retirement, he canoed the full length of the River Thames with three other OA contemporaries, to prove that they could still do something physically active at their age, and to raise money for the College’s

Bursary Appeal Fund. The voyage ended with a splendid reception at the College boathouse in Putney. He could also frequently be seen cycling between home in Chichester and his much loved cottage in Bosham. Brian was pre-deceased by his wife, Rose, but is survived by his two children. Dr Mike Nicholls and Professor Ewan Anderson (49-56) (another of the Thames canoeists) both contributed significantly to this obituary. Kenneth Gilbert Pettifer (1944-49) 09.05.1931 – 03.09.2012 Ken Pettifer came to the College from the Prep during the Second World War, as one of a long line of the Pettifer family spanning three generations who came to Dulwich. He was in Sidney and boarded in Ivyholme, rising to become the captain of both houses, and he was also a school prefect. Ken was a superb all-round sportsman and played for the 1st XV for three years, 1st XI cricket team in his final year, as well as being captain of athletics in his final year and was also in the boxing and squash teams. On leaving Dulwich, Ken did his National Service with the RAF in Rhodesia. After his National Service ended, he worked for a short time for BP in Aden, but then returned to London. He started working in insurance with underwriters, Lloyd’s of London, where he remained for the rest of his entire working life. In 1957 Ken married Pamela but that marriage only lasted a short time. He married Valerie in 1969 and together they produced a son, Jake, and a daughter, Samantha, but that marriage also ended in divorce and Valerie subsequently died in 1989 after suffering a blood clot during a routine operation. He then met Wendy and they lived together in Cardiff for several years, with Ken commuting to the City from Wales, before Wendy also died and Ken moved back to London. Having been so good at sport while he was at the College, Ken needed an outlet for his sporting skills and energy after leaving school, and he played sport for OAFC for many years. He played for the 1st XV and went on many OA rugby tours. Towards the end of his rugby playing days, he was persuaded to switch from the wing to the second row of the scrum, and this change was so effective that he was awarded his Honours cap in 1963. He played for the 1st XI OA cricket team and also played squash for the OAs. He became a full member of the MCC at Lords in 1966, having played for them on numerous occasions in and around London. He also played cricket for the Incogniti and was well known at sports clubs throughout London and the Home Counties. He soon became a regular at Lords, where he was known as ‘The Colonel’ to his many friends there. It has recently been said that ‘going to Lords is not the same without Ken’. 71

He is survived by his son, Jake (83-90), and daughter, Samantha, and left his family and friends at his funeral to Frank Sinatra singing On the Sunny Side of the Street, one of his favourite songs. Samantha Pettifer contributed significantly to this obituary. James Ruston Price (1940-46) 20.04.1929 – 19.11.2013 Jim Price came to Dulwich from Wykeham House School in Worthing and was at the College for almost the entire duration of the Second World War. He often told the story about the PT instructor Mr McClure, who stood on top of the school bomb shelter entrance and conducted the whole school in exercises for ten minutes before the morning break. One morning there was a shout from Mr McClure and everybody turned to see a V2 rocket tearing across the sky, but it was heading well away from the school, luckily. He was in Spenser, playing rugby and swimming in the inter-house competitions, and was awarded his House Colours. He was also in the ATC as an air cadet. On leaving Dulwich, he joined the GPO Research station in Dollis Hill as a Youth-in-Training. In 1950 he was called up for National Service and joined REME as a radio mechanic. After demobilisation in 1951, he returned to the GPO in Dollis Hill for a while but soon moved to Plessey, Ilford, where he worked on radio communication for the RAF. In 1953, after becoming a chartered engineer and member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (MIEE), he joined Muirhead & Co in Beckenham as a development engineer on electronic vibration analysis equipment. In 1955, a small instrument company called Rivlin Instruments offered him a job as Chief Design Engineer, but that company decided to relocate to Farnborough, so Jim decided to start his own company with two colleagues. Alma Components Ltd. was set up in 1956, to manufacture precision electronic components, with the help of another OA, J A C Bentall (40-47), who became the company’s auditor. In 1959, another OA, Doug Bartlett (37-40) joined Alma as Sales Director [Doug Bartlett died in 2011 and his obituary appeared in the Yearbook last year (108th Issue – 2013)]. The company prospered and in 1960 it moved to Diss in Norfolk, employing 270 people on a three acre site. In 1976, Alma Components was sold to an American company, Hamlyn Electronics, and Jim retired to Guernsey with his family, aged only 46. Used to a busy life in industry, he found it difficult to settle down to doing nothing and in 1981, he bought back part of his old business. The new business again prospered but this time employed only 30 people. In 1987, he was approached by a rival American company, Vishy Co, and agreed to sell them the business. This time, he retired properly and found time to enjoy his hobbies of sailing, swimming and film-making. After undergoing two triple heart bypass operations, it was not unexpected that he died of a heart attack on 19 November 2013, aged 84. He leaves his wife, Janet, and three sons. 72

Dr Gareth W Roberts (Honorary Staff Member 1984-2008) 10.07.1948 – 04.01.2013 Gareth Roberts was educated at Dolgellau Grammar School before gaining his first degree at Aberystwyth, followed by a PhD at the University of Liverpool and post-Doctoral research at Guy’s Hospital in London. He studied for a degree in Oxford before spending eight years teaching at Bedford Modern School. It was in 1984 that he and his family moved south as he arrived to teach Chemistry at Dulwich. Within the Chemistry department at the College he immediately impressed with his detailed subject knowledge, especially in biochemistry and medical chemistry, and his insistence on the highest of standards. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was held in high regard by his pupils. As a passionate Welshman, it was inevitable that Gareth was a keen follower of rugby, and he had played for a number of rugby clubs, including Guy’s Hospital and Bedford in his younger days. At Dulwich, he coached the Junior Colts for a number of years, and after retiring from coaching he was still much in demand as a rugby referee because he ‘understood’ the game and was certain to control it in a way that allowed the boys to get the maximum amount of enjoyment. He became involved with the College careers department, as it was expanding from the very modest service which had thought to be sufficient in the 1970s and early 1980s into the more extensive and professional organisation seen today. He began by taking responsibility for developing links with the engineering sector, then expanded the annual Courses and Careers Convention and subsequently became Head of Careers. Gareth was a reliable and conscientious form tutor, firstly in the Middle School but latterly in the Upper School, where his understanding of the UCAS procedures proved invaluable to his tutees. In particular, he could show pupils the best way to complete the dreaded UCAS personal statement. With his general interest in sport, he was well suited to being a housemaster and he was Middle School housemaster for Marlowe for many years. Although he never quite managed to start the Art History course that he had planned for his retirement, he continued to enjoy trips to galleries and exhibitions in London and attended several OA reunions at the College. He also worked as a volunteer at a charity shop in Beckenham. In March 2012, he suffered a nasty fall while on holiday in Wales and spent several weeks in hospital both in Wales and at the Princess Royal hospital near Farnborough. In reality he never really recovered from the fall and its after effects and he died in Lewisham Hospital in January 2013. He is survived

by his wife, Heather, and their two sons Iwan and Sion, who are both OAs. Gareth was a kind and generous friend, who never had a bad word to say about anybody and he will be sadly missed by all those who knew him. Dr Tony Shortland (former Assistant Master and subject colleague) contributed significantly to this obituary. Dr William John Malcolm Salter (1947-55) 26.06.1937 – 17.10.2013 Malcolm Salter came to Dulwich from Dalmain Road Primary School, Forest Hill, with a free place as part of the Gilkes Experiment, following many changes of primary school during the war years. He was in Raleigh, captained the College u14 swimming team and was in the 2nd VIII shooting team. After leaving Dulwich, he went to the University of London (Battersea College of Technology, which later became the University of Surrey and moved to Guildford), where he graduated with a BSc (Special Honours) in 1958, a DCT in 1959 and an MSc in 1960. While at Battersea, he captained the rugby team and was secretary of swimming, receiving full colours in both sports. He also held two student union executive posts and was elected an honorary life member of the student union in 1960, for outstanding services rendered. He joined the United Steel Companies Ltd (later nationalised as BSC) at Swinden Laboratories, Rotherham, in 1960, holding various research posts. During this time he gained an external PhD from the University of London and was awarded the Sidney Gilchrist Thomas Silver Medal and Prize by the Iron and Steel Institute. In 1969, Dr Salter became the Metallurgical Laboratories Manager of the Stocksbridge and Tinsley Park Works Group. He published A Manual of Quantitative Microanalysis in 1970, as well as contributing chapters to two other technical publications and in excess of 25 scientific articles. In 1973 he was elected a fellow of both the Institute of Physics (F Inst P) and the Institute of Materials (F Inst M). In 1977 he joined the Iron and Steel Industry Training Board as a Senior Training Advisor, and in 1982 he set up his own quality, technical and training consultancy which he ran until he retired in 2007. During this period he also worked as Commercial and Quality Systems Manager for the MRI at Sheffield Hallam University and as Consultant Quality Systems Manager for British Glass. In the 1960s and early seventies, he was very active with the Liberal Party in South Yorkshire, becoming Chairman of both the Rotherham and the South Yorkshire Liberal Groups. In the 1970s and 1980s he was a rock climbing and outdoor pursuits voluntary instructor for the Scouts and at the Whitehall Outdoor Pursuits Centre. He spent 20 years as an

active member of the Peak District expedition panel for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, and was Chairman for several years in the 1980s.. He served as a magistrate between 1973 and 1990. His main passion was always rugby though. He became a referee for Yorkshire RFC from 1963 onwards, served on the Twickenham referees A-panel in the late 1970s, was elected a Vice President of Rotherham RFC in the 1980s, and was elected an Honorary Life Vice President of Rotherham Titans RUFC for services to the club, specifically and to rugby and refereeing generally. He is survived by his second wife, Audrey, three children, two step-children and 8 grandchildren. Malcom’s son, Simon, contributed this obituary. Anthony Jago Sampson (1937-40) 23.11.1922 – 01.10.2013 Anthony Sampson was born in Sittingbourne, Kent, where his father was a civil servant working for the Inland Revenue. Subsequently, the family moved to Beckenham but Anthony came to Dulwich from Worthing High School for Boys and was in Marlowe. After leaving Dulwich, he wanted to become a dentist and started at Birmingham Medical School for one year before transferring to King’s College Hospital Dental School in London in 1941. He had suffered frequently from asthma as a boy but during the Second World War, in addition to his dental studies, he was an air raid warden, a fire watcher and a member of the Home Guard, and then also joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). He qualified as a dental surgeon in 1945 as the war ended. In 1946, he started four years of extended service in the Royal Navy, becoming a Surgeon Lieutenant Commander. He left the Navy in 1951 and joined a dental partnership in Epsom, Surrey, and built a successful practice over the next 35 years. Tony (also often known as ‘Bones’ because he was so slim throughout his life) was a popular dentist because of his inherently pleasant nature and his gentle touch, which gave his patients confidence. Over time, he retained a large number of patients who had moved away to other parts of the country but travelled back to Epsom to see the dentist they trusted. He was the on-call emergency dentist for Epsom Hospital and developed an interest in periodontology, the study and treatment of gum disease. He returned to King’s College Hospital for one day a week to run a periodontology clinic, teaching students from the dental school at the same time. He retired from all dental work in 1986. In 1946, the same year as he had joined the Royal Navy, he also married his first love, Beryl Price, a staff nurse he had met at King’s College Hospital. After leaving the Navy, he and Beryl moved to Cheam and then to Kingswood in Surrey with their three children 73

Obituaries

Angela, Christopher and Nicola. In 1968, Beryl suddenly collapsed and died in his arms at home from a heart attack at the age of only 46. He was devastated by her death and struggled for two years to come to terms with the loss. A friend introduced him to Pamela Gray, a widow who also had three children, and a relationship blossomed, culminating in their marriage. In August 2013 they celebrated 43 years of married life. The year after he retired, Tony and Pam moved from Surrey to Devizes in Wiltshire. Blessed with good physical health and an active mind, he had a very busy retirement. Their home had a formal garden, but also eight acres of woodland and grass pasture, and he loved to tend the garden and potter in his greenhouse. He was chairman of the Devizes and District Gardening Club and during that time he would organise club coach trips to gardens all over the country. He also loved to play golf and was an active member of the North Wiltshire Golf Club and still played twice a week at the age of 88. He was a member of Probus and all its charitable activities, and he volunteered for a couple of hours each week to welcome visitors to the Wiltshire Heritage Museum. In November 2012, Tony celebrated his 90th birthday. He was a consummate host and gave a speech standing in front of the assembled family and friends without notes. Only a few months later, it became evident that motor neurone disease was increasingly robbing him of his physical faculties. He died peacefully at home with his wife, Pam, and son, Chris, at his bedside. His son Chris said, ‘Even in his final days, he was considerate to nurses and carers and his smile could still light up the room. He is survived by his wife, three children, 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild. An obituary was published in the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald on which this obituary is based. Francis Theodore Constan Sanson (1936-41) 13.11.1924 – 11.02.2013 Francis Sanson was the younger of two Anglo-Greek brothers who went to Dulwich College. The family lived in Maida Vale, northwest London, for a short while before moving southeast in stages to Sydenham and then on to Beckenham. He came to Dulwich on a scholarship from Adamsrill Road Primary School in Sydenham. He excelled at the College, being a member of the boxing club, playing the violin and also playing hooker for the 1st XV, as well as playing for the Combined London Old Boys team. He also had a talent for languages, was fluent in Greek and French, and also had a good working knowledge of Turkish. When he left the College, Francis went to Battersea Polytechnic to study Aeronautical Engineering. He could have gone to Oxford or Cambridge but because of the Second World War, he chose to stay closer to his parents. After graduating during wartime with a qualification in Aeronautical Engineering, he got a reserved occupation job testing aero engines at D Napier & Son. At the end of the war, he decided to join his mother’s business which specialised in oriental rugs. He already had a good knowledge of rugs, having 74

seen them from a very early age, and over the next 60 years he was to become a real authority on them. In the 1950s he expanded into commercial flooring, and then set up his own company in 1968. Francis, although known to most of his friends as Sammy, had many hobbies, including woodworking and painting. He was a gifted artist producing some wonderful technical drawings and cartoons, and painting very successfully in both watercolours and oils. Because of his love for Dulwich, there are a number of paintings where the College crest has been incorporated somewhere into the painting. He also joined the OA Football Club and continued to play as the hooker, starting in the 1st XV and working his way down the lower teams before finally hanging up his rugby boots in his late thirties. He was a keen mountaineer, climbing in Scotland and the Alps before he got married. Despite never sailing, he was a member of the Alleynian Sailing Society (The Asses), attending as many meetings as he could. His son, Costa, also an OA, took over the business (and contributed this obituary) but Francis never really retired, still coming in to work every day and still selling oriental carpets. Peter Cosmo Shaw (1945-52) 24.02.1934 – 12.04.2012 Peter Shaw came to the College from the Prep. He enjoyed his time at the College and joined the CCF but his main interest was playing squash. He was in the school squash team in his final year and gained his Colours for his performances. Having left Dulwich, he went to Guy’s Hospital to study Medicine, and also played squash for both the hospital and for the University of London, gaining a ‘blue’. After qualifying for his MB BS, Peter was one of the last conscripts to have to do National Service. He joined the Royal Army Medical Corps on a three year short service commission as Lieutenant. He served all of his three year stint at the Royal Herbert Hospital in Woolwich and left the Army as a Captain. He met Angela, a nurse at Guy’s Hospital, in 1957. They married in 1958 and had two children. He gained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in 1965, was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Farnborough Hospital in 1969, and appointed as Teacher of Orthopaedics by the University of London in 1983. He continued to play squash regularly, including playing for the OAs in the Londonderry Cup, until 1995, when he took up tennis instead. He was a good and keen landscape painter and the family home is full of his paintings. He was also an enthusiastic scuba diver and had a large collection of his own underwater photographs, being a comprehensive record of most sea creatures. He retired from the NHS in 1999 and enjoyed his retirement with tennis, painting, gardening, horseriding and going to concerts. In January 2012

Ian Richard Spence (1949-56) 15.10.1938 – 02.08.2012 Ian Spence was born in Forest Hill and came to Dulwich from Bromley Road Primary School in Beckenham. While at the College, he was in Raleigh and was a Sergeant in the CCF. After leaving Dulwich, he did National Service immediately before taking up his scholarship to read History at Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1959. While at Cambridge he was Secretary of the Jesus College Boys’ Club at Cambridge House in Camberwell. He graduated with a first class BA degree in 1962 and then joined the Civil Service, holding a number of senior positions within the Inland Revenue for his entire working career until he retired in 1998. Ian married Anne Kiggell in 1971 and they produced two daughters together. In retirement, he lived in Dulwich for the summer months and spent winters on the island of Grenada in the Caribbean. He is survived by his wife, Anne, daughters, Jackie and Fiona, and four grandchildren. An obituary appeared in the Jesus College Annual Report 2013 on which this obituary is based. Kenneth Powell Warren Stoneley (1932-39) 08.02.1921 – 05.02.2012 Kenneth Stoneley was born in Carshalton, Surrey, and came to Dulwich from St Norbert’s Preparatory School in Sutton. He was in Marlowe and enjoyed playing cricket, drama and singing in the College choir. With considerable foresight as the Second World War loomed, his father removed him from the College midway through his final year in February 1939, so Kenneth could establish a foothold in a profession before the opening of hostilities. He joined the Spitalfields branch of Barclays Bank but when war did start later that year, he volunteered for the Royal Air Force. A hearing defect and a stutter precluded him from flying so he spent the war years in Air Traffic Control for Coastal Command, mostly in Silloth and Lossiemouth. After the war he returned to Barclays Bank and specialised in client income tax services at the Pall Mall East branch, near Trafalgar Square in London, remaining there until moving to the Brighton branch in 1963. Throughout his time with the bank, he was a keen member of the Barclays Bank Male Voice Choir.

After three years at the Brighton branch, he decided on a change of profession and became the director of Help the Homeless, a charity that grew from the work of staff at the church of St Martin in the Fields. In 1973 he was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship and spent three months travelling across America and Canada studying their systems for helping and housing homeless single people. He subsequently wrote a book called Establishing a Hostel which filled a significant gap of information in the area of social provision for the severely disadvantaged. After some ten years at Help the Homeless, he changed profession again and became a company secretary with Whinney Murray (now Ernst & Young), where he remained until his retirement from full-time work. Even then, he remained as a part-time company secretary for several companies. Outside work, Kenneth gave a lifetime of service to the community. In 1944, he became a liveryman with the Worshipful Company of Bakers, one of the oldest livery companies in the City of London. In 1975, he rose to the position of Master of the Company, and during his term as Master, he forged strong links between the Company of Bakers and South Bank University, for which he was granted an honorary master’s degree. While working at the bank in London, he began an association with the English justice system which spanned most of his working life, by becoming a Special Constable. He was on duty during the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953 and was one of the few chosen to test the first ‘walkie talkie’ tool used by the police force. In 1959, he became a magistrate (JP) for the Epsom bench in the county of Surrey, and then had to give up his duties as a special constable. As a JP, he served on the Probation and After Care committees and eventually became ‘Father of the Bench’. In 1949, he became a member of Carshalton Urban District Council (UDC) in Surrey, serving for ten years and becoming Chairman in 1956. For many years and well into retirement, he served on the Board of Trustees for the Woodroffe Benton Foundation, a grant making charity based in Essex. Kenneth was physically very active throughout his long life, sustaining life-long passions for cricket, bowls, and garden lawns, as well as singing as a tenor for a number of choirs. Moving to Burwell, Cambridgeshire, in 2004, he continued to play an active part in the church and local village institutions, despite increasing frailty. He died at home in his 91st year after a short illness. Kenneth outlived an older sister, and their younger brother, Raymond, who also attended the College but died in 1979. He is survived by his wife, Mary (after 62 years of marriage), their daughter, Elizabeth, son, Peter and grand-daughter, Naomi. Elizabeth contributed this obituary.

Graham Erskine Venn (1964-72) 22.03.1954 – 29.09.2013 Graham Venn came to Dulwich from St Pauls Cray Primary School in Bromley and was in Spenser. While at the College, he was on the Science side and was a school prefect. After leaving Dulwich, he went to the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, part of the University of London, graduating as a doctor (MB BS) in 1977. Graham initially became a house surgeon at Middlesex Hospital before a succession of registrar posts at different hospitals in Middlesex while acquiring the FRCS qualification and training in cardiothoracic surgery. He obtained further post-graduate experience in specialised mitral valve repair under the tuition of Professor Alain Carpentier at the Hopital Broussais in Paris. He was appointed as Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospital, London, in 1989, where he was Director of Cardiothoracic Services from 1993 to 1996. He also headed the Department of Cardiac Surgical Research in the Rayne Institute at St Thomas’s Hospital, was a past Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a recent Past President of the Cardiothoracic Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, and he acted as an expert witness for medico-legal matters. Graham married a Middlesex Hospital Medical School classmate, Catherine Milton, in London in 1979, and together they had two sons, James and Jonathan. Catherine retired early in 2001 with progressive ill-health, but her health deteriorated further, the marriage ended in 2002, and she died of hepatic failure with concomitant breast carcinoma in August 2003. In May 2013, he retired from active surgical practice at Guy’s and St Thomas’s hospitals to concentrate briefly on his new role as Chief Medical Officer for the HCA Hospital Group in central London, but he died only a few months later, in September 2013, from myeloma, a cancer arising from plasma cells in the blood. Owen Ernest John Wade (1935-39) 11.07.1921 – 06.11.2012 Lieutenant Commander Owen Wade was born in Herne Hill and came to the College from the Prep. While at the College, he was in Spenser, joined the CCF, was a prefect and was captain of shooting in his final year. He was also a keen rugby player and an accomplished pianist. He left Dulwich in 1939 just before the start of the Second World War and joined the Royal Navy, serving for a mere 27 years in total. His first sea mission, in 1940, was to join the British Atlantic fleet that was shadowing the German heavy cruiser, the Graf Spee, which was subsequently scuttled in Montevideo harbour in Uruguay. After this most of his war service was spent in the Eastern fleet, where he was Mentioned in Despatches.

76

At the end of the war he met Liz, a Wren, on a troopship returning from Mombasa, Kenya, and they married shortly afterwards, on 7 September 1946 at St Mary Abbotts in West Kensington. Owen continued his Naval career, which included service on HMS Ark Royal IV and later at RNAS Yeovilton as Secretary to the Flag Officer Flying Training. While at Yeovilton, a routine helicopter flight with the Admiral to perform the annual inspection of Stowe School CCF became unexpectedly dramatic when the engine failed. The close proximity of a nearby field beside the A303 ensured a safe ‘crash’ landing, after which they continued their journey using a fixed wing aircraft and completed the inspection, albeit somewhat late. His final overseas posting was to Norway in 1960, to the NATO Headquarters in Oslo (CINCNORTH) as Secretary to the Commander in Chief (1961 to 1963). During this time he was part of the NATO task force that was shadowing the Russian Navy in the lead up to the Cuban missile crisis. He retired from the Royal Navy in 1966 and embarked upon a second career, working in London in the Overseas Relations section of the Electricity Supply Industry for 20 years. Here he was responsible for liaison and organising meetings and conferences for various electricity supply companies around the world. He was a keen rifle and pistol shot, represented the Royal Navy at shooting, and was a regular at Bisley meets. In one of his last competitions, he helped the OAs win the Founder’s Day Match, outscoring his son, Michael (67-72), who was captain of the College VIII. After his second retirement in 1986, he enjoyed gardening, photography, listening to music and continued to travel widely with Liz for many years. They celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in September 2006 but sadly Liz died three weeks later. He is survived by his son, Michael, and daughter, Susan. Owen wrote his own obituary, which was updated by Michael. David Way (1944-48) 25.02.1931 – 25.09.2013 David Way was the son of George Frederick Way, a depot manager at the Ministry of Food, and the family lived locally in SE21. David came to the College from Oakfield Prep School in Dulwich and was in Marlowe. After leaving the College, he did two years of National Service, one of which was in Malaya. At the end of National Service, he joined Prudential Assurance in London, but had enjoyed life in the tropics so much during his time in Malaya that, after two years in London, he managed to be posted as Deputy Manager to Prudential in Singapore. While in Singapore, he met Virginia Elizabeth Beatrix Moffat, known as Lisbie, and they married in 1964. In 1969, David and Lisbie moved with their two young children,

as he became Manager of Prudential in Lahore, Pakistan. In 1971, he joined Noble Lowndes and returned to Singapore as Managing Director there for several years. In 1981 David, Lisbie and their, by now, three children finally moved back to the UK and he joined Allied Dunbar as an Independent Financial Consultant, with great success until retirement. He spent his retirement playing golf, dog walking, doing the The Telegraph crossword every day and enjoying his family and his seven granddaughters. He was a keen armchair sports fan and an avid fan of tennis player, Andy Murray, so was particularly pleased to see him win the Men’s Singles title at Wimbledon in 2013, the first British winner of that title for 77 years. He died on 25 September 2013 after bravely bearing a two year illness. His family miss him very much, in particular his wonderful sense of humour, gentle kindness and great family spirit. David’s wife, Lisbie, contributed this obituary. Peter William Wilmot-Dear (1939-43; Staff 1951-52) 15.08.1925 – 09.12.2013 Peter Wilmot-Dear was the younger of two brothers who came to the College from the Prep. His brother, Arthur, who was at the College between 1937 and 1941, was reported missing in action during the Second World War in April 1945. Peter arrived at the College with a school scholarship in 1939, was in Grenville and was a prefect during his final year. After leaving Dulwich, he went to St John’s College, Cambridge, for a Natural Sciences degree, where he was also cox for one of the College’s boats. After graduation he joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). He used to remind people jokingly of the fact that shortly after he joined the RNVR, the Japanese surrendered. He was posted as a radar operator on HMS Formidable, which was ferrying servicemen back from the Far East, and he often needed to use his ingenuity to repair the radar equipment with pieces of wire. After demobilisation in 1947, Peter worked briefly in electronics research and development at Mullards, which later became Philips. But in 1948, he returned to Cambridge to do teacher training, where he met his future wife, Jean Thompson. His first teaching post was at Westminster City School for two years, then a single year back at Dulwich, followed by many happy and productive years at King’s School, Peterborough. Several of that school’s former pupils recall him not only as an inspirational teacher, but also as the single-handed producer, director, stage manager and make-up artist for many memorable school plays. He eventually moved to become Head of Science at Stevenage Girls’ Grammar School, before later moving to Wyndham School, in Egremont, Cumbria, from which he took early retirement in 1974.

Peter and Jean married in the summer of 1949 and together produced two daughters and one son. After he took early retirement, they moved back south to Wiltshire where he could devote more time to gardening. He created a lovely garden from scratch, with botanically interesting as well as beautiful herbaceous borders, and grew much of the family’s fruit and vegetables. He was also able to indulge his love of books and adding to his own collection. It was a love of theatre and involvement in amateur dramatics which had brought Peter and Jean together in the first place in Cambridge, and this continued to be a life-long, shared interest. In retirement they both enthusiastically supported the Theatre Royal in Bath and the Salisbury Playhouse, and they also enjoyed trips to London theatres, especially the Globe on the South Bank, until deteriorating health precluded such long journeys from home. But they were still able to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary with a trip around their favourite parts of the Cotswolds. Although a heart condition meant that he suffered from increasingly poor health in his last years, Peter was still able to enjoy his garden and remain at home almost until the end, when he died peacefully in Salisbury District Hospital. He is missed by his family and friends and remembered by them as a very kind man, always thoughtful of others and a wise and shrewd listener. He is survived by his wife, Jean, and three children. One of his daughters contributed significantly to this obituary. Andrew Franklin Wilson (1958-65) 19.12.1946 – 26.03.2013 Andrew Wilson came to Dulwich from Dalmain Road Primary School in Forest Hill and was in Sidney. While at the College, he was a prefect and was such a promising swimmer that he was in the College swimming team for four consecutive years from 1961-62. He also represented Great Britain in the u18 water polo team in 1964 and as a swimmer in 1965. After leaving the College, Andy took a gap year with the primary purpose of gaining selection for the England 1966 Commonwealth Games team. This was successful, although ill health in Jamaica prevented him from fulfilling his full potential. He returned from Jamaica to go to University of Sheffield, and also continued his international swimming career as well as playing u21 water polo for his country. After university, he spent a few years working as a journalist before moving into university administration at the University of Birmingham. He continued to write and over the years regularly had swimming-related books and articles published. In 1969 he married fellow international swimmer and Tokyo Olympian, Judy Gegan, and together they worked tirelessly for swimming in the West Midlands. They taught, coached and performed administration of swimming clubs as well as swimming regularly themselves. The late 1980s 77

Obituaries

saw the advent of ‘Masters’ swimming (age group competitions for older swimmers) and the Wilsons were quick to compete again. This area of swimming competition has since taken off worldwide and took the Wilsons to events all over the globe. Early retirement from the university enabled Andy to devote even more time to swimming in all its disciplines, and he became a part-time employee of the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), the sport’s governing body here in the UK, working as secretary to various subcommittees within the organisation. In 2005 he received the Cherriman Award for services to Masters swimming. Over the years, both Andy and Judy had fallen in love with France and at the end of 2007 they moved to Arrones, a small hamlet outside Vichy where they continued their own swimming with the Vichy Masters Swimming Club. Worrying health problems began to limit Andy’s time in the water and in 2009 he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The following year, hospital consultants decided that Andy’s condition was actually the far more serious Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), his health began to deteriorate more rapidly and he died in March 2013. He is survived by Judy, their two sons, Ben and Oliver, and grandsons Henry and Dylan. John Tennant (50-58) contributed this obituary. Roger Crayden Wainwright Wood (1955-64) 24.02.1946 – 19.05.2013 Roger Wood was the son of Aubrey Edward Wood, who was a county rugby player and also an Old Alleynian. Roger came to Dulwich from Elmhurst School in South Croydon and was in Drake. While at the College, he was a good cricketer and

especially enjoyed playing cricket for the school, being in the 1st XI in both of his final two years at Dulwich. He also actively participated in debating, and was a school prefect. He enjoyed studying and was awarded an Exhibition scholarship to read History at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. After Cambridge, his working life began in the City of London for an insurance broker for a short period, but he soon moved on to the Advisory, Conciliation & Arbitration Service (ACAS), also in London, and remained there for the rest of his career, working in increasingly senior positions. During his early working life, he was a keen cricketer and played for several clubs, including the Old Alleynians, Free Foresters, Incogniti and Addiscombe. He was a real sports fanatic, taking great interest in both cricket and rugby, but he also had life-long interests in art, architecture, history, horticulture and classical music. He loved gardening and devoted considerable time to caring for his beautiful garden. He spent many holidays touring the English countryside with his trusted Pevsner guide books in hand, as well as several trips touring the ancient sites in countries such as Italy, Turkey, Libya and Egypt. He was an active member of the Royal Horticultural Society, Royal Academy, Woodland Trust, English Heritage, NADFAS and the MCC. In conjunction with these wide-ranging interests, he built up a considerable library of reference books and catalogues. For many years, Roger had to cope with diabetes, which eventually took its toll on him. He is sorely missed by his sister, Judi, who contributed this obituary.

We were also notified of the deaths of the following Old Alleynians in 2013. If anyone would like to write a short piece on any of them, their contributions will be included in the next edition.

Be a part of Dulwich College history with a legacy for the future After providing for family and friends, leaving a gift to the College in your will is an effective and enduring way of supporting future generations of Alleynians, be it through support for bursaries or the provision of new facilities.

‘About three quarters of us make charitable gifts during our lifetimes but fewer than one in ten of us do so in our wills. And yet the latter form of giving is a lot less painful… In fact, you could say, we won’t feel a thing.’ Sir Peter Bazalgette (62-71)

‘I owe the College a great deal for the sound academic grounding I received and for so much more. It was at the College that I developed and matured as a person, made lifelong friends and discovered rugby. Having the opportunity to represent the College as School Captain in my final year was an honour and a pleasure. I am proud to be an Old Alleynian.’ Donald Nartey (02-09) | School Captain 2008-09

For more information on leaving a gift to the College in your will, please contact Mrs Sioban Whitney Low, Director of Development, on +44 (0)20 8299 9285 or [email protected].
