Thank you, that is a very interesting picture. The bomb damage to those buildings really brings it home how much London went through. Presumably this was the first St Matthew's Day for several years??

Wow.

How times change.

I wonder how many girls were there.

From another thread we commented on the Senior Grecian's speech re Christ's Hospital and Hertford. St Matthew's Day etc were similar. My Lower Sixth year (1970) was the first year that all the Sixth Form went to St Matthew's Day. Previous years it had only been Upper Sixth, or even Monitresses.

30 girls from a school of approximately 380 as against I don't know how many boys.

Mary, how did you get to 380 at Hertford? 8 houses nominally 36 in each makes for 288, I would have thought the maximum at any time would have been 300. It is one of the reasons we will always find more male Old Blues than female in our life times. There ARE more of them!
