 Appeals for details of Old Stationers

Contact the Webmaster for the seeker's email address
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.

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.
