Best place for 1920-1940 Memories, Anecdotes, Reminiscence
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 4:13 pm
Hello all,
Some of you were kind enough to help me track down some information on an Old Blue who attended CH from 1922-30 as part of a research project I am undertaking.
Perhaps you can help again- I'm trying to get a taste for what life was like for boys at CH during that period from a pupil's perspective.
Is there an unofficial publication, or certain people or a certain website, where I can hear what life was like at the school from about 1920 to around the start of WW2? The downsides to living at CH as well as the upsides... what the headmaster(s) at the time were like. Traditions, pranks, noteworthy teachers and students, ridiculous rules that one could easily break, etc. What was the schools philosophy at this time- strict or a little more liberal than other schools of the time?
I believe the CH Museum have a series of Heritage publications but I imagine they're somewhat sanitized and have more a general overview?
Does an Old Blue have memoirs or diaries from the time?
Once again, any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
