19th July 2008 at the Hall - was a wonderful reunion of Old Stationers of all ages. The event was very well attended, & our late Webmaster Tony Reeve took many wonderful pictures for us - all of which are here for you to share.

The Hicklenton Cup,. Some time ago Tony asked for information about a silver cup that had been presented to the OSA by Sarah Scuppage, a lady who had moved into a house in Cobham to find it there when she moved in. Out of the blue he heard from one of Howard HIcklenton's descendants, with further interesting details of the history of this cup.

50 years of Stationers' Masonic Lodge - & other details...
That mysterious picture... "Can you tell where it is yet?" No prizes, though...
Accommodation in London... Peter Evans writes: If you are in London for any event (for instance, the Annual Dinner) I'd like to offer Old Stationers a 20% discount at my hotel in Bloomsbury (50% those who were in the 1949 arrivals - see page 36 of the Spring 2005 magazine). Details are on the hotel's website - http://www.georgehotel.com." (The yellow button will take you to that site). Don't forget - You'll need to ask for "Old Stationers' Discount" when you contact the hotel.
Although it's still under construction, the new website for 'Hornsey High' already has some pictures to view. They're still looking for lots more, so If you can help please take a look & email them.
There's the book about Colin Chapman (one of our 'famous' Old Boys).

There's the book 'Walk On'  by Old Boy Alex Flemming... (about what England needs to do to win the World Cup again!) - a 'MUST READ' for all fans, players, coaches, sponsors, et al.

Scuttleboom's Treasure - What is, or rather was, Scuttleboom's Treasure? Andrew Dunlop was digging in his loft where he came across these excellent pictures from this school play in the 60s.
More Pictures of School Plays... & an enigma... Andrew Dunlop also sent another four sets of photos - also taken in the 60s, but he has forgotten what the plays were! If you can identify the play or the players, please let us know &, if you do, please don't forget to say which set of photos you are referring to as well as which picture/s you have been able to identify! Email us...
The Quick Collection... Were you at school in the 30s? Do you remember HRH The Prince of Wales at the 1935 Prize giving? Or the play 'The Rivals' in 1934? Thanks to Estelle Quick and her father Alan for the pictures from his years at the school. Click here for some unique pictures.

1957 Choir

For those of you who remember the year 1957 & the Prize Giving ceremony that year, you may recall that Mr D A Clover not only conducted the choir, but also made a recording of the choir singing the songs it sang at that occasion. The tracks below in mp3 format you could try playing them by clicking on the links below, because they have been 'transcribed', though, the results may be a little unpredictable. Rather than this, if you right-click the button on your mouse over each track, you will be able to select "Save target as..." then download the file to save it on your own hard disk.

Poor old Joe Cakes & Ale Laudate Nomen Domini
Here's a Health Unto His Majesty Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary
