29 January 1904: ‘Windsor Races. Considering that on Sunday night only one horse had arrived at Windsor, fields on Monday panned out exceptionally well. Indeed, in four of the items down for decision, runners were plentiful enough, with the principal event, the Rays Handicap Hurdle Race, attracted fourteen to the post. An inspection of the course at an early hour revealed the fact that the going was in capital order, and there were never any fear the frost would interfere with sport. The Bucks Maiden Hurdle Race was won by Mr H. C. Johnson’s Reservist, the Tower Steeplechase by Mr F. Bishop’s Lyndon Green, the Rays Hurdle Handicap by Mr J. G. Clarke’s Mark Time, the Monday Maiden Hurdle Race by Mr J. Barnett’s Much Too Early, the Long Walk Steeplechase by Captain C. Gore-Langton’s Squint II., and the Paddock Steeplechase by Mr J. F. Hallick’s Foxhill. The frost having completely given way, the going for the concluding stage of the meeting on Tuesday proved somewhat holding. The light was considerably better than on the first day, as was also the attendance, but racing can hardly be said to have reached the standard usually witnessed at this enclosure, only thirty-three horses taking part in the half-dozen events down for decision. The Tuesday Hurdle Handicap was won by Mr. F. Cobb’s Chiselhamton, the Athens Steeplechase by Mr J. E. Hallick’s Foxhill, the Dorney Steeplechase by Mr H. R. Randall’s Red Hand, the Borough Steeplechase by Mr A. Hamblin’s Perdicus, the Slough Hurdle Handicap by Mr A. Jones‘s Jack McCormick, and the Coveney Steeplechase by Mr A. Gorham’s Little Sister II.’

Tabberer, who have played in several 1st XI cricket matches this season. Joan is also a member of the Junior Swimming Team.
Changes to the French Staff: ‘It is with great regret that we say farewell this term to the two colleagues who joined us in September 1931, Miss Jones and Dr Storey. At that time they both came to us with their university honours fresh upon them; now they leave us, in the natural course of things, for further experience, Miss Jones to go to the Hornsey High School under the Middlesex Education Committee, and Dr Storey to work for the North Riding authority, at the Scarborough High School, and contribute his share to Yorkshire’s well-established reputation in the modern language world. We shall miss them both more than we can say. Miss Jones has shown herself devoted to her subject, punctilious in all her class engagements, and both tactful and enthusiastic in the performance of her duties as liaison officer between ourselves and our French friends of the “Ecole Primaire Superieure,” at Chinon. Of Dr Storey, what can we say that has not become a mere commonplace to all of us who know him? He has given of himself generously and unsparingly from the moment he came into the school. Even more prone to say “Yes” than “No” when asked to shoulder some extra duty, he has shown by his daily practice how well he realises what a great proportion of a teacher’s work and influence lies entirely outside the class-room. Our French Club, our Rowing Club, our League of Nations Union Branch, our holiday camp life will all be the poorer for his going. And so will the City of Nottingham itself, for it would be difficult to over-estimate the charm and ease and scholarly ability with which he has presided over the French lectures of the local Branch of the Modern Language Association.With our expressions of regret and appreciation we join our affectionate good wishes to Miss Jones and Dr Storey for success and happiness in their new spheres of work. We hope they will visit us soon and often, and we assure them that we shall follow with unfailing interest their successive steps to fame and prominence in the profession.’
Women’s Hockey Club. We shall be glad to hear of, and welcome any new members from School, and wish to express our thanks to Miss Mosley and Mr H. W. Jones for all they have done for the Club.
