May I go back to Barnes B in the Stone Age ?
On the matter of Non-Housie Uniform, at the begginning of the War (Not the Boer !) the Trebles, from Westminster Abbey Choir School, were evacuated to CH.
I sem to remember that they were pretty obvious, wearing grey shorts and jackets, their singing, in the CH choir was pretty obvious, as well !
Later, in, I think 1941, they moved off somewhere else.
At the time, Uniforms were not in short supply, as later, and I think I got mine within a couple of days.
Somewhere, in the Archives I believe I have got at least one photo of the House in the 40s L M Carey as Housemaster and REv. Featherstone- Haugh (Pronounced FEESTON HO !) as Junior Housemaster.
I shall search !
Ba B 35 1940 - 1946

I always thought it was pronounced Fanshawe, obviously a different branch of the Featherstone-Haughs.

What is the silver trophy? Does it have something to do with music? If so, Barnes B was clearly an arty house at this time. The other trophy is the Coleridge Trophy, awarded for academic excellence. No great crowd of sporting awards, certainly.

When I look at these photos of the 50s and I see names that were also around in the 80s, I sometimes wonder if these chaps sent tehir sons to the school.
In this picture Newson-Smith and McInerney spring to mind.
Of course could be just coincidence...

Theoretically with the benefit of a CH education we should do well enough thereafter not to qualify to send our children to CH! Clearly this doesn't apply to the children of clergy - or to women who marry someone who has not had a CH education! I sent two daughters to CH ............ nuff said!!

A late thought --- while I am searching for my Photo of Ba B in 1945 ---which seems to have disappeared !
I believe there were two Newson- Smiths, one certainly in my time --- up to 1946, the later one may well have been a brother ?

The Ba B photo for 1949 correctly identifies the matron as Miss Elizabeth Watts. The matron in the 1951 photo is clearly a different woman (wrongly identified as Miss EM Watts). She was a substitute for the summer term because of Miss Watts's illness. I don't recall her name. Sid

Regarding the question, "May I pose a question ? Why are some of the more 'junior' lads in what I would term, summer-flannel dress ?
John Rutley. Prep B & Coleridge B. 1958-1963", there is a simple answer.
Until circa 1951 there was clothes rationing, a relic of World War 2. Hence only those boys on the LE forms and above wore Housey dress. Those on lower forms (Prep A & B, Third Form and Lower Fourth), wore corduroy shorts and a woolen jacket, mainly brown. When all could finally wear full Housey dress the small boys rejoiced.
