"I
would dearly love to hear from anyone who remembers me and wish to contact
me can do so i would love to hear from them. I was the short fat one and a
bloody good artist. I used to draw caricatures of some of the students and
teachers alike. Although I was known as Ender Salahi then, i am known as
Andy Biltekin now, surname changed when i left school, and Andy was less
embarrassing than Ender the Bender, lol. I am very glad that this site
exists...." |

Jane Carpenter writes...
"My father, Oliver John Rust de Boer, was born in December 1920 and was at
Stationers but am not sure of the years. I do know that he was in the
Stationers Cadet Corps from 1932-1937. Sadly he died in 1983 following a
fire. Therefore we have no photographs of him for his grandchildren who
never met him. I have recently obtained his war records and am trying to
piece together his life. I am writing to ask if anyone remembers him and if
anyone had any photographs of him or do class photos exist?" |

Several members of the Stanbury family
have emailed us and are... "
- trying to find out as much information as possible about The Stationers'
Boys School as I believe that both my father, Charles Millar Salmond and my
uncle, Peter Stanbury Salmond attended the school but left in 1925 to move
to Glasgow where their father, Thomas Millar Salmond took up another post.
My father died when I was a teenager and my uncle was killed in WW2. I was
born shortly after he was killed and inherited his name. As a family, the
war was never discussed but as a result, we are really ignorant on numerous
aspects of their lives..." etc. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

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. |
