Old Girls Fellowship News

AUTUMN 2013

Letter from the Fellowship Chairman Dear Old Girls, I am so pleased to announce the launch of the new biannual Old Girls News. As most of you will know, we have tried everything from A5 size, coloured sheets sent out requesting your updated news, news of other OGs, Heathfield Fellowship website link, FB, anything for photographs, the inside track and to stay in touch regularly. But our travels delay our post from catching up with us, our schedules kidnap our focus and most websites play second fiddle to the on-the-spot gratification of Twitter or FB. We are a wonderfully talented, far-reaching, inspirational and influential Fellowship. The strength of our circle is in our communication. Collectively, we can achieve anything! So I encourage you to use this new publication as an extended newsfeed and resource.

Heathfield Fellowship Ambassadors, drawn from OGs to represent each year, including representation from pupils currently at Heathfield was recently introduced in order to sustain our interaction and is proving, above all, to be stimulating.

Heathfield Leavers and University Graduates have emerged as an effective resource pool of interns for OGs and equally, OGs are the perfect mentors for these protégées, who were once ourselves. Do not forget they exist!

I would like to invite you to come and speak to the some of the older girls at Heathfield over tea and impart some of your knowledge, achievements and experiences, which these girls will be only too happy to receive from the HOGs they will soon become!

Davina Valaydon, Chairman of the Old Girls Fellowship

Finally, as we shan’t be having The Fellowship Carol Service this year, we shall be hosting Christmas Cocktails at the Lansdowne Club. I look forward to seeing you on 21st November.

Fellowship Day 11 May 2013 th

This year’s Fellowship Day was made particularly special by the celebration of some of our Old Girls’ 70th birthdays. The day started with a Pimms reception in the Assembly Hall, amidst the stunning A Level artwork on display and piano and singing recitals. There was an air of excitement as Old Girls first recognised each other, back at school after so long, and reminisced about the good old days. It is always wonderful to be enticed down memory lane at Heathfield.

We were very lucky again this year to have a delicious lunch personally prepared and served by Antony and Jay Worrall Thompson. The Old Girls chatted and laughed as Antony and Jay served us their medley of starters, main courses and sweets. Lunch was followed by our special Heathfield birthday prayer for our birthday girls; Happy Birthday was sung and the surprise cake was cut to the delight of all.

The choir sang beautifully at Evensong in the Chapel; Sara Bennett and Ellie Reeve read the lessons and Father Tim took us back to how the Chapel has been, and still is, our ‘home’ at school. Music and Drama performances followed in the theatre. At tea we were joined by some of our current Form III girls who could not resist meeting and touring a few Old Girls.They listened to their stories intently; what good ideas they imparted!

Heathfield Girls

Visit the V&A

Vicky Broackes and Tessa Murdoch participated in our Arts Conference last year and spoke about the work they were doing, putting together their current exhibitions: David Bowie is and Treasures of the Royal Courts.

They subsequently invited the Heathfield girls and on Saturday 18th May we made a trip up to the V&A.

Vicky Broackes (1973-1979)

Curates David Bowie is

Victoria Broackes (Head of Exhibitions and Design Theatre and Performance Collections,V&A Museum) curated the world of vinyl, synthesisers, flares and even a word scrambling computer.The girls marvelled at the myriad of influences on Bowie’s work, moon landings, the cold war and espionage, artists such as Sonia Delaunay and the world of mime; all great influences on his lyrics, costumes, films and set designs.

This exhibition really revealed Bowie’s amazing creativity.

Mona Ebert (2007-2009)

Visits Heathfield

We were really thrilled that Mona Ebert returned to Heathfield on Friday 30th November. It was wonderful to see her back and we felt very privileged, given Mona’s busy schedule of work at Cambridge University.

As soon as Mona’s term ended, she came down to see us and talk to some of the girls before her busy ‘working’ holiday.

Mona presented the first part of her English thesis to the English and History of Art Form VI girls. The subject was ‘Projections: the Flâneur and the Shop Window in Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway’.This complemented the girls’ studies on Oscar Wilde in English as well as the Art History students’ work on Manet and 19th century Paris. It was wonderful to hear her address the girls with such passion, expertise and enthusiasm and give us an insight into her studies.

Mona then joined a few girls in the library for tea and we discussed her university experience, her expectations and the realities. She gave girls advice on the application process, hot tips for interviews and suggested what best not to say! It was a joy seeing her doing so well. We wish her the very best for her future, be it in law or in her further Art History studies at the Courtauld, and we look forward to welcoming her back again in the future.

Our first reception at the Lansdowne Club for our Heathfield Old Girls was held on Thursday 7th February. It was a wonderfully enjoyable evening. We celebrated recent graduation successes, with graduates from 2009 to 2012. Mrs Heywood, Mrs Ingram, Mrs Bramley and Mrs Mason were really delighted to see the girls again, now turned into young women of the world, working in film, fashion, law and the city, confident and happy and still loyal and close to each other, perhaps even more so than on the day they left. What a bond our girls have! There is a strong demand to have another such reception soon; look out for details of your year’s reception.

News from...

Claire Carney (née Eastwood) (1990-1997) I wanted to send you this photo from my wedding which took place at our home on the beach in Watamu, Kenya. Heathfield Old Girls with the new generation! We got married on Feb 10th 2012.

Savannah and Emma both sang at the wedding which was so special and much admired by all! Bringing back the choir days circa 1997!

Tania Scarsbrick (née Stewart), Malika Dalamal, Georgiana Butler (née Calthorpe), Devika Chada (née Kumari) were unable to attend, as was Chloe Dale-Jones (née Sacher) – but she did send her husband as a representative! They were all much missed as it was a fun week in the sun on the Kenya Coast.

Lyra, the little flower girl, is Savannah’s other daughter and my goddaughter.

Olivia Shaw (née Broughton) (1995-2001)

I got married on 7th May 2011 to Christopher Shaw so I am now Olivia Shaw! We live in Parsons Green and are both working hard. Chris is a Chartered Surveyor working for Jones Lang La Salle and I work as an Interior Designer for Taylor Howes Designs, based in Chelsea. When I left Exeter University back in 2005, I went to work for Conde Nast, working for Conde Nast Johansens and then GQ and Tatler after that. After 4 years there, I decided it was time for a change and left to study Interior Design at KLC School of Design. I’ve not looked back. I started as a design assistant at Taylor Howes in 2010 and am now a Designer, working on and running a number of high end residential projects.

My friends from Heathfield are still VERY much a big part of my life – we regularly meet and see each other. A number came to our wedding last year – I thought you may like to see the attached!

Hazel Lee (née Trumpler) 1938-42 It is with great sadness that we announce Hazel Lee (Trumpler) died 3rd May 2013 after a long illness. She would have been 89 on 3rd June.

Hazel had been suffering from bowel cancer, which had been slowly but increasingly spreading. She was amazingly stoic and brave, and her funny, loving, fearless spirit was cheerful to the end.

It was her wish that donations should be sent to The Cancer Council – www.cancercouncil.com.au in lieu of flowers.

written by Hazel Lee in September 2012 I have so many memories; I do hope you will be interested in a few things I have jotted down.

I was at school from 1938 to 1942 arriving with my gasmask in an Easter egg box!

I was a Heathfield grandchild as my mother and her three older sisters were in London at Stanhope Gardens and at Queen’s Gate. My mother, Muriel Addison was still at school when Heathfield moved to Ascot but she stayed at Queen’s Gate in London. I remember with awe meeting Miss Wyatt when she visited the school.

Before the war, we had white starched overalls to wear over our uniform, a navy skirt, white shirt and tie with black stockings in the winter and beige stockings in the summer.

Big box pleats fell from the yolk and we had a belt of the same material. There were rubber buttons on the cuff and at the back of the overall. These were very useful if you had lost your rubber (which often happened to me) as you just pulled off one of these buttons and it could be then used to erase pencil marks from your work. A rather strange tradition was you never got new overalls so if you were quite young when you went to school and didn’t leave until you were 16, 17 or 18 your overall was very short.

We wore galoshes over our shoes to go outside mid-morning and after lunch. We hated them though really they were very sensible things to wear.

Maids brought hot water in jugs to our rooms or dormitories for us to wash in the morning. We also had our hair washed and we had manicures. Once a week, I think it was Saturday, we had to write home. If we wished to write to anyone else, the school had to know who it was and be given the address. Before I left school I was writing to a boy and I had to send his letter enclosed in one to my parents for them to forward to him. Every Sunday we had to learn the Collect or 10 lines of the Gospel if the collect was a long one.

For the first two or three weeks of term we had our temperatures taken morning and night. After the war started we had to have our hair combed with those very fine toothed combs in case we had nits.

When your parents visited you they brought a picnic lunch and then you just walked round the grounds and Rhodi (Rhododendron walk).To teach us how to be hostesses we went into the conservatory with Lady Glenarthur presiding. Naturally, I tried to get to the table with the best cake on it. You got tea from Lady Glenarthur to give to your parents. It was all very formal and stilted and once my father who was a fairly solid fellow leaned back in this flimsy chair and broke it! I thought it was the end of the world!

One morning we were told we could wear beige ankle socks – of course we never phoned home or received calls but I was so pleased that my mother sent my socks as soon as she got my letter. Then we were allowed to go out with our parents and the teas were abolished – so some good things happened as a result of the war!

Heathfield numbers got very low as quite a lot of children were told to “go through” to Miss Thomas. They either came back crying or were elated as they were being sent to Canada for the duration of the war. St Michael’s School from Bognor evacuated to us which meant we had more competition and girls for games. They didn’t come till about 1941 or early 1942. In case you don’t know what “going through” meant…. you went through the conservatory to Miss Thomas’s part of the house. I went through quite often as I had so many bad marks, mostly for talking or running so I got a reprimand.

Every Saturday morning, we had to stand up in assembly, give out our marks to the staff and Miss Thomas who were all on the stage in front of the whole school. You had to give in your house badge if you had too many marks – my badge was kept very clean as it was constantly confiscated! I hope this practice was abolished long ago as it made for some deceitful girls as they did not own up to misdemeanours. I always wanted to tell the staff and school what a bad form of punishment it was but I didn’t have the nerve. I was frightened of Miss Thomas.

Some paying guests were taken in. One was my Aunty Vi (Violet Addison) who was one of Miss Wyatt’s star pupils in London, and also some of the School Council. Mr & Mrs Biddle were there at one time and going down the back stairs in the dark as there was an air raid warning I dropped my knitting wool and Mrs Biddle became entangled in it!

I well remember the first time we went down to the cellars. We were given biscuits and the wind up gramophone was playing “San Francisco here I come”. Whenever I hear that tune I am instantly transported back to that time. Every night we had to put our lace up walking shoes, our navy big coat and navy knickers outside our door. These had to be put on before we went down to the cellars. We never quite worked out whether the knickers were to protect us from the soldiers who might rescue us or just for decency and warmth! The old house of Heathfield had really solid cellars under it and now bunk beds were on the walls and mattresses on the floor. Two mattresses were put together but three girls slept on them. I was always the one in the middle on the crack! We had sleeping bags and sometimes in the morning I was shaken out of mine as I found it so hard to wake up. For a while we were woken up in the night to go down to the cellars but then we had one full term and maybe a bit more when we went down to the cellars after an early supper every night. Then we had evenings like we had normally i.e. English, French etc. We didn’t have one evening for dancing!

A vivid memory is of Miss Thomas reading us The Snow Goose. There were several cellars and I remember rehearsing for The Importance of Being Ernest with cheeses and great flitches of bacon strung up just below the ceiling. The year doing their school certificate were allowed to stay in their beds. It always seemed rather strange to me that some students were hopefully saved from bombs while others would perish! Only a few staff were with us in the cellars. I must say it made us appreciate our beds! I remember two Sunday nights I think it was when we were told we could sleep in our dormitories or rooms. I suppose there had been no air raid warnings those nights – it was bliss!

We did the Oxford School Certificate and during the war they modified the curriculum to make it easier as they knew so many children were having disturbed nights or were upset by being evacuated. In English we didn’t have a set book, just Shakespeare and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. We did have some air raid practices in the daylight.

When we evacuated the building, some staff member was twirling the wooden rattle which was to be used if there was a gas attack.Then we tried on our gas masks and made rude noises with them. One rumour which went round the school was that if England was invaded, Miss Thomas would shoot us to save us from “a fate worse than death”. The thought of our small and gentle Headmistress doing this was quite ludicrous!

There are so many memories of Heathfield. One thing that upset me especially when I was a new girl was that there was nothing to love – even small girls did not have a teddy bear or doll to cuddle at night. There were no animals around, no dog or cat to pat and love. One of the groundsmen had a ferret in a cage but I only saw it once or twice and ferrets aren’t lovable. No wonder we had our “stars” (crushes). I don’t know if any were serious or that girls ended up being lesbians. I did not know anything about lesbians then. Actually we were not taught anything about sex. Looking back it seems very wrong especially in war time when there were troops around from many nations that girls were sent out into the world so naïve.

There were some very good things about Heathfield: the food was good, the Chapel services uplifting. Though I have never forgotten Miss Thomas sending me out of Chapel in front of the whole school because I smiled! Nowadays in church, people laugh and even clap! Mr Faulkner and his music were wonderful and I loved games and gym.

We were so very restricted, almost repressed. Why were we not allowed to talk in the dormitories after going to bed? OK to have a lights out rule but prefects were in the corridors seeing you didn’t talk or giving you bearing marks or order marks even if you whispered something. How well I remember being in the dormitory and talking quietly when suddenly the head of the dorm would say “shush” and we would freeze. I was sure that matron or whoever it was outside the door would hear my heart beating.

When we went out for a walk we were in a crocodile. Girls of 15 or 16 looked stupid walking like that. We quite enjoyed going past where I think Bertram Mills used to have his animals as now it was a P.O.W. camp for Italians. Some were very good looking! I saw Gretel Troedson (Mcquisten) recently, she thought they were Germans. Perhaps they may have been mixed. The other walk, which was very dull, was to Sandy Lane and for a short time we were “let off the chain”. Listening to Churchill’s inspired speeches with Matron in Dorcas is another vivid memory and of course sing song at the end of the year, or was it at the end of every term?

Fancy dress dance was a lot of fun though a pity that some girls just senior to me were severely reprimanded for going as “So Tight and the Seven Drunkards”!

For our birthday we were given a little posy of flowers. When you were older you had a dinner at the high table and were allowed to take a friend with you.

We had some strange traditions – one being butter wishes. You put the butter knife in the pat of butter and then either you or someone else pushed the knife down and took some butter, at the same time making a wish.

At the end of the month you said Rabbits and the next morning Hares and walked down the stairs backwards and kissed the first person you met! When I did this, the person at the bottom of the stairs was the boot boy so I didn’t kiss him as I felt I might be expelled!

Corpus Christi day at Ascot Park was lovely. Rowing on the lake, climbing into the grotto and being free in the beautiful garden. To cap it all, each girl was given a box of delicious sweets! This was before St Michael’s came to us. I suppose Heathfield had about 80 pupils then.

Georgina Crisford (2000-2006)

Reunion Dinner Class of ‘82

Since leaving Heathfield Georgina completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Parsons,The New School, studying in both Paris and New York. She then spent some time at The Angel Academy in Florence.

Since moving back to London she has worked out of the renowned Cubitt Studios and studied part time at Lavender Hill Studios. She has been taking various commissions and has been working towards her coming exhibition.

Georgina’s first solo show “Quiet Spaces” is a collection of interiors and still lifes inspired by the inner workings of old houses.The exhibition will be held at Jamb, 97 Pimlico Road, and will run from the 11th – 15th November. www.georginacrisford@hotmail.com

The Class of ’82

Lucy Corbett (1991-1998) Having found my passion for figurative art whilst at Heathfield I went on to be classically trained in the various disciplines of portrait and landscape painting. Finding the right place to do this meant travelling abroad, so having acquired eleven years of experience I decided to open ‘The Usk Studio’ a drawing and painting school run in the atelier tradition.

I believe that the core foundation to any artist lies in draughtsmanship and observation. ’Sight size’ is the method taught and concentrates on training the eye to see proportion, Hans by Lucy Corbett tone and colour from a determined distance. With patience and determination the results are hugely rewarding. www.lucycorbett.co.uk

Tilly Corfield on her Travels (2007-2012) Tilly spent the last year travelling with Sahara Longe and Charlie Hale during her GAP year.

First she went to Sierra Leone with Sahara Longe where we taught children to read.

A year ago Joanna Meeson set me a tantalising challenge: Heathfield would host a reunion dinner for the class of ’82 if I could guarantee enough acceptances. That was never going to be a problem and the burgeoning positive replies generated more and more. Ellie Wylie booked her ticket immediately from Los Angeles and others from far flung places made commitments to be there.

On the evening of 30th September, 25 of us walked into the drawing room and were welcomed wonderfully with Prosecco. Talk about a step back in time. The atmosphere was electric as we locked eyes and then exclaimed how much (but usually how little) someone had changed. Laughter continued as members of the Upper Sixth generously took time out to take us all on a tour of the school. We were all very impressed with the new theatre and relieved that all our old dormitories like Buttercup, albeit more luxurious, were still intact.

It was a relief to see the showers too because in our day we were on a bath rota of two per week! The highlight had to be finding our names in Chapel which had been such an important focal point in our school life.

Dinner was a complete delight in the unchanged glorious dining room.

Looking down the long table, it suddenly dawned on me that this was Heathfield’s greatest legacy. For a relatively small school, most of us are still tightly linked: as godparents to each other’s children; as supporters in happy as well as not so happy times. Heathfield taught us the art of friendship and let it flourish and I bet it continues to do so.The leitmotif then and now is laughter and I fear we unleashed it at full volume on that unforgettable night!

Thank you Heathfield. What a perfect way to mark our impending 50th birthdays!

Tilly enthusiastically teaching children to read in Sierra Leone

Louise Bogue and Melissa Edwards

Next stop was India with Charlie Hale for nine weeks where they did sight-seeing.

Tilly then went to New Zealand by herself, which she absolutely loved. She did the Kiwi Experience, which is a specialist travel bus company. She did a sky dive and bungee jump there.

Next stop was Thailand where she met up with loads of Heathfield girls.

Then a week in Cambodia and home for the beginning of July.
