HHS Magazine 1961

 

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!

Richard Cail's pics...

Richard Cail (HHS 1961-1966), has just been in touch, and here are his pics!

Comments on names etc., would be welcome from everyone, by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post!

In the swimming photo, on the far horizon between the master's head and the bush, would be my family home, at Broad Oak! On a clear day, I could just make the place out if the sun was shining! Commander Campbell, a Maths master at HHS around 1960, once lent me his naval telescope, and I had the perfect view of our back garden! My mum was a bit concerned at that...!

Sad news from friends here.

Here is a link to celebrate our chum, Edwin.

There was a Facebook reference, but this has been closed out for some reason!

The old HHS mags are a bit sketchy on many details, which is not really surprising I suppose, but a quick scan through the 1965 Edition, shows that Edwin was a member of the P.E Team, which made a display with 'Crichton, Docwra i, Dukes, Kell, Kyrke, Pender-Cudlipp, Ramsden, Scott, Tuite, Purser and Martin i...'!

Edwin was also in the 1964 Soccer team, - played 10, won 3, drawn 1, lost 7. The Team consisted of Morton, R.N.Seaward, S.T.Hickes, D.B.Kell, A.M.Scott, (Captain), R.H.J.V.Kyrke, Chrichton, Hickman i, Battersby, Dryborough-Smith and Martin i.

Edwin also gave the school a contribution to The Filter Fund, presumably because he, like most of us, rather liked the idea of swimming in water which was a bit clearer than of late..!

Edwin went on to Eastbourne College, where no doubt, there may well be other news from their Alumni Society!

In time-honoured fashion, our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and many friends.
