HHS Magazine 1960.

As scanning continues to be a bit of a 'mare', I've taken pics of the mag with a decent camera and which are at least readable!

Here is the 1960 mag in it's entirety!

One item to see, is that there is a picture of - I think - Asif Fancy in the foreground. His family are in touch here as we speak!

I seem to remember that at that particular tournament, he won against the Chess Master, who had just demolished the rest of us in record time!

Again, my apologies for the 'quality' of this post! The pages are easily readable here, but if you just click on them they'll enlarge to a finer reading value!

The Fancy Family...

A member of the family has been in touch for more info on his several brothers and cousins, who were at HHS from the fifties through to the early sixties!

The original inquiry is mentioned in the very first post of the blog, obviously near the end!

Here's some info I have managed to glean from the mags!

​Looking through some of the HHS mags, I've found quite a lot of information about Messrs Fancy and the family members!

I'll try and write it all in chronological order, but forgive me if some events seem out of sync!

1. In the 1957 mag, Fancy i (or Slade) were in the first football team.
2. in the 1958 mag, A.A.Fancy left to go on to Canford at the end of the Summer term, after winning the Handwriting Competition. He also scored a 91 in 'The Gen Book Test', and the 'History Test'. A.M.Fancy left HHS in the Winter term. A.A.Fancy was also in the 1st eleven cricket team and won his colours, he was also runner-up in the 'Tree Fielding Award'. N.M.Fancy was also in the team, as was A.B.Fancy! N.M.Fancy was also in the soccer 1st eleven, and won the 'Geography Test' jointly with Thomson, scoring 91 pts, and he was also a Prefect in Spring Term, 1958.
3. In the 1959 mag, Fancy V was in the first eleven cricket team. I.S Fancy went on to Whittlebury School at the end of the Summer term.
4. In 1960, Mr A.H.Fancy made a contribution to the swimming bath fund! GB congratulated Asif Fancy on winning The Junior Chess competition at Canford! Fancy v is seen foreground in the photo, half-way down the blog post 'Prep School Life', Saturday 21st December, 2013. He'd just beaten the Chess Master, and I can still remember them both staring at the board, and a cheer going up! He is also in the picture '6th Form at work' a few pics further downI. A. Fancy left HHS at the end of the Winter Term, 1959. Asif Fancy went on to Canford in the same term.

​I hope this all makes sense, I can only recall​ the elder and the youngest of the family, but you will probably be able to pick out who was who from this info!

​If anything turns up from your end, I'd be delighted to post it as a separate item on the blog - we all like hearing more news! (note - I have done this here)!

Best wishes!
