The Head welcomed a packed Main Hall to Latymer Upper’s inaugural Future Skills event last term. Latymerians, parents and pupils from Latymer and our partner schools gathered to hear a panel of Europe’s leading industry experts, entrepreneurs, investors, start-up specialists and academics discuss one of the big issues of our time – how will future careers be affected by new disruptive technologies?

NORTH AMERICA A tour of 5 cities in 8 days; that was the itinerary that saw Latymer’s leaders meet around 100 Latymerians in the mid-west and on the east coast of North America in October. At each event the Head, David Goodhew spoke, updating guests on the School’s latest news and on our vision to increase our bursarial support, via means-tested awards, to ensure by 2024 that a quarter of the School will be supported. Whilst far from matching the halcyon days of the Direct Grant or Assisted Place Schemes it is an increasingly significant offer to ensure a rich diversity of young talent is recruited in to the pupil body.
Hugh GRANT and Rory CURTIS in Toronto
The Council has a trust, Canadian Friends of Latymer, which allows Canadian tax payers to donate towards Latymer’s bursary programme in a tax efficient manner. In America, the Board of USFOL sponsor a sixth form bursary, via their 501(3)c, which allows tax-efficient giving. The Chicago gathering was the first on the US schedule and it played out against the back drop of the first play-off game between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians in the Baseball World Series. Jimson BIENENSTOCK and Nigel Orton in Toronto
The Canadian Latymerian Council hosted a brunch in Toronto’s Cricket, Curling and Skating Club. Then flying on to Chicago, where an evening gathering was held and enjoyed in a restaurant, Club Lago. The party then split: Nigel was joined by Jennifer Evans Casey at ChangSho in Boston’s Portman Sq., whilst Head, David Goodhew and Amanda Scott (Director of Development) attended a dinner at Washington’s University Club hosted by Joel POZNANSKY (1976). The finale was all recombining for a drinks reception at Manhattan’s Links Club, hosted by Jamie GRANT (1976).
Both teams had not reached this final for decades so all of Chicago was focussed on the ball game. Nevertheless, a really enjoyable gathering was led by Michael FREEMAN (1969) at our own fourth base. A mixing of ages was achieved at all the gatherings as veterans socialised with more recent leavers. For example, in ChangSho conversations engaged a range of Latymerians from Nat BALLARD (2015), studying at Boston College where he is on their soccer squad, to Derek LANE-SMITH (1952) who joined Latymer in 1945 and is now President of Durridge Engineering in Billerica, Massachusetts. Jennifer Evans helped Nigel host this evening and we were pleased to have former parents Barry and Dixie Morse present. In Washington DC Joel had set up a private dining room where conversations were lively. Nigel, son of the late Robert OGILVIE (1933) attended to meet with Latymerians. New York saw a large turn out with over 50 enjoying the palatial ambience in the Links Club before hearing speeches from USFOL Chair, Jamie GRANT (1976) and the Head.

Bursaries Appeal 2016/17 Launch Party
The Bursaries Appeal 2016/17 kicked off in normal Latymer style at the end of September with a drinks reception in the Main Hall celebrating another record breaking year thanks to over 5,000 gifts large and small from across the School community to the 2015/16 appeal. Of the 22 young people who began their secondary education at Latymer this September thanks to a bursary, five owe their 100% means tested awards to the generosity of donors to this appeal. These children are all bright and talented boys and girls who excelled in the entrance exam but whose families could not otherwise afford to send them to Latymer.
decorating stall at the Christmas Fair, to organising “pop up” music performances across the School during break time and, just as term broke up, delivering sweets to friends and teachers spreading some holiday cheer!
BURSARIES APPEAL EVENTS
During the evening two Latymerians Adam (2007) and Mickey (2008) BOUKRAA spoke about the impact their Latymer education had on their lives; an education made possible thanks to the 100% bursaries that they were given at entry. The Head, David Goodhew, introduced a short film showcasing the range of fundraising activities that took place last year. The film aptly demonstrated the key to the success of the annual Bursaries Appeal – the collective generosity of the Latymer community! To watch the video and the inspirational speeches, please visit the Bursaries Appeal page on the School website www.latymer-upper.org.
A group of parents, alumni and friends attended the out-of-hours private view and breakfast at Sotheby’s in November raising over £700 for the appeal. There are a range of other events planned by the Bursaries Appeal for the Spring/Summer including two events in memory of Alan RICKMAN (1964). The first of these will take place on Sunday 5 February “Alan Rickman: Director & Playwright” and the second on Sunday 14 May “Alan Rickman: Actor & Friend”. Additionally, writer, historian and television producer, Taylor DOWNING (1971) is giving a guided tour at the Imperial War Museum on Saturday 11 March including a talk about his latest book, “Breakdown”. To book a ticket to any of these events or to check out the full calendar of Bursaries Appeal events, please visit the Bursaries Appeal events page on the School website.
The pupil led RAISE club has had a fantastic year so far raising over £2,500 for the Bursaries Appeal thanks to some very enthusiastic and committed pupils aided by the Development Office Intern, Freya CAZALET (2016) and a very generous matching donation by a local business. Fundraising activities have ranged from bake sales, making badges for Founder’s Day, selling Christmas Cards designed by current Latymer students and running a very popular gingerbread
Making a difference is much easier than you might think: you can make a donation on the School website or set up a Direct Debit by contacting Linn in the Development Office: 020 3004 0434. You might also like to attend one of the many Bursaries Appeal events, profits from which go directly to this year’s appeal which has as its goal to fund five new free places for young people joining Latymer next September – we would welcome your help!

■ Murray Edwin CLARK (1955) ■ Edward Harcourt JARVIS (1944) ■ Victor LEVENE LLB (1957) ■ John DARGAN (1944) John was from a very poor family, (he had 3 siblings who all died before 18 months). He received a full scholarship to Latymer and maintained that it truly changed his life; he attended during WWII when the school was evacuated to Slough. John was awarded a Physics Exhibition to the University of London but this was deferred in order for him to join the RAF, where he eventually flew Spitfires. He also flew in the Berlin Airlift and Suez Crises, where he was taken prisoner but managed to escape and fly back to London. He was a pilot trainer in the RAF until 1964, then he worked for IBM in the early days of computers before retiring in 1986 to Somerset. ■ Colin EMMINS MBE MA (1954) Colin read History at Selwyn College, Cambridge and embarked upon a career in trade associations, which culminated with him being a Director of the National Association of Soft Drink Manufacturers and receiving the MBE. Colin also worked as a freelance writer and researcher and had been Secretary to the Ealing Historical Association. Colin loyally supported the School and its alumni events where he was popular with his peers and he was a member of our 1624 Society. ■ Derek GREENHOUGH (1942) From 1942 Derek served as a Merchant Navy navigating officer in ocean-going tankers until 1951, when he began work in the fuel industry. Immigrating to Canada with his family in 1958 he joined BP Canada, moving to Toronto until his retirement in 1984 as Director of Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs. Then Derek and his wife, Betty, became Florida snowbirds for the winter months, actively producing and directing amateur variety shows both in Canada and Florida, interspersed with ocean cruises. ■ Henry Edgar HALL MA PhD FRS (1946) Henry was the son of a physicist and started at Latymer 14 September 1937 in class 1B. He became a Prefect, winning his Major Scholarship in Natural Sciences to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, going up after completing National Service in the RA. He was a research student in the Royal Society Mond Laboratory, Cambridge. Henry enjoyed a distinguished university career, first at Cambridge and then as Professor of Physics focussed on low temperature physics at the University of Manchester. He was awarded the Institute of Physics Simon Prize in 1963 and the Guthrie Medal and Prize in 2004. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1982. He died in December 2015. ■ William John HAYWARD (1963) Bill was a noted pianist and organist as a pupil at Latymer. He left after O-levels to study at the Royal College of Music where he met his future wife Wendy Reardon. Though they later divorced, they remained close friends. Bill trained at the London Opera Centre after graduating from the RCM. At the age of 21 he was the accompanist for the soprano, Kiri Te Kanawa in a recital in the Royal Festival Hall Purcell Room.

His career in music included the roles of operatic répétiteur, concert organist, composer, song arranger, and conductor. He became the musical director for the popular tenor
Russell Watson, for whom he made numerous arrangements and conducted the orchestra, regularly conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He travelled with Russell Watson on tours to America, New Zealand and Japan. Bill also worked and recorded CDs with forces sweetheart Katherine Jenkins. Bill died in December 2015 following an illness from a severe lung infection. He is survived by two daughters and nine grandchildren.

David
David lived in Madeira and sadly passed away last September leaving his wife and children. Before retirement he had been Financial Controller for Yellow Pages. Golf was one of his interests and he was a regular in recent years at the Latymerians’ Golf day, winning the title in 2016. His late father, Cyril (1928) had been at Latymer too. ■ Roger Harry JAY (1940) Roger was only at the School briefly during WWII, in the class of 1947. He later joined the RAF and spent 14 years as a navigator where he flew in Transport Command squadrons in the Far East during the Malaya Emergency and in Europe helping take VIPs such as government ministers and NATO senior staff to meetings. Roger then worked in the civil service as a technical officer for the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich before becoming a customs officer for HMRC retiring in 1986. ■ Howard LYONS MSc (1963) Howard Lyons passed away on the 27 December 2014, aged 67. For more than 30 years Howard was a lecturer at Sheffield Business School, lecturing in marketing, planning and strategic planning. He also worked for a time as a research associate at the Eden Project and was a Visiting Fellow at Sheffield Hallam University. He moved to Hayle, Cornwall, several years ago and joined the town council in 2013 as a councillor for the north ward. He became involved with the local business community and with many other organisations in the town. For example, as Chairman of Save Our Sand he campaigned tirelessly against the dredging of sand in Hayle and St Ives Bay, instead calling for the reintroduction of sluicing to the harbour. Howard also held the post of Vice-chair of Hayle Chamber of Commerce and had taken on the role of Chair of the Friends of St Michael’s Hospital. ■ Nicolas John MAHY MB BS FRCPath MRCP (1972) Nick was a dedicated cross-country runner for Latymer, winning the Briault Cup in 1972. He studied medicine at Middlesex Hospital, University of London. He was appointed Consultant Cellular Pathologist at the Horton Hospital, Banbury and later at the John Radcliffe, Oxford. After taking early retirement, he retained a very keen interest in science. ■ Donald NAPPIN BSc (1952) Donald gained his degree from King’s College, London. Donald worked for EMI as Electronics research engineer on pattern recognition, ultrasonic scanners, FAX and military projects; he retired in 1987.
■ Dr John M STEWART BA PhD (1961) John read Mathematics at Jesus College, Cambridge and entered academia gaining his doctorate and working in the field of Gravitational Physics. John was a Junior Research Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, subsequently moving to Munich where he was Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute. On his return to Cambridge in 1975, John was appointed Senior Research Fellow, then subsequently Fellow and Lecturer at King’s College in 1978, two years after his appointment as University Lecturer in Applied Mathematics. Latterly he was an Emeritus Reader and had only recently retired as a Fellow working in the Relativity and Gravitation Group in the University’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (the group included Professor Stephen Hawking). In 1991 he published Advanced General Relativity. Following retirement, John wrote a book on computing, Python for Scientists, and he was nearing completion of a much larger and extended version about scientific applications using Python. He leaves behind his wife, Mary. ■ Gerard George SULLIVAN BSc MA (1954) Gerard left Latymer aged 16 and completed his National Service in the Royal Navy, studying his A’ Levels by correspondence.

Gerard
South Africa, Malawi, Ethiopia and Uganda. In the 1980s he was Principal of the Commonwealth Development Corporation’s management training centre. In his later years, Gerard served NHS committees concerned with training, ethics and management. In 2011 he published a memoir, The Making of a One-Handed Economist (Book Guild), and was active throughout his life in advocating policies supporting social and economic equity. Gerard ran a marathon in under three hours in 1983 and was a loyal participant in the annual Latymerians’ ‘Geriatric Jog’. He frequently trod the boards with his local dramatic society, Banbury Cross Players, and he loved to play piano, especially in the style of jazz pianist Dave Brubeck. Gerard greatly valued Latymer and regularly contributed to the Bursaries Appeal. He is survived by his wife, Mary, with whom he celebrated his Golden Wedding Anniversary in 2015, and his two daughters, Sian and Ruth. ■ Rear Admiral Michael Richard THOMAS BSc CEng FIEE (1960) Michael joined the Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth RN in 1960 and passed out as a Weapons Electrical Engineer Officer. He served on several ships including: HMS Ambush, Venus, Lincoln, Hermes, Dido, Ariadne and Andromeda. He commanded HMS Drake at the Devonport naval base in the early 1990s as a Rear Admiral, retiring in 1996. Michael then worked for Peter de Savary and ultimately bought out the shipyard at Penzance which he ran until 2009. He was Chairman of the companies running the Royal Fleet Club and the Penzance Arts Club. He was Governor of the University of Plymouth for five years, President of Penzance Sea Cadets and Vice President of Truro Sea Cadets. He was also involved with the management of Plymouth’s District Scouting. Michael was an officer on HMS Andromeda during the Falklands War and accompanied the declaration of the surrender document, signed by General Menéndez and Major-General Moore on June 14, 1982, back to the naval task force. He leaves behind Lesley, his wife of 48 years. A cannon has been named in his honour at Devonport.
FROM OUR ARCHIVES The School Archives is a rich source of treasured memories from the past.

Readers will be interested to know of our Seahorse Studio, better known to most of you as the School’s squash court! Rivercourt House on The Mall facing the Thames was built in 1808 on the site of a country lodge used by Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II. Interestingly, the King’s Jeweller Isaac le Gooch, the second great benefactor to the Latymer Foundation, lived a few yards away at Hyde Lodge. Having been a girls’ school for a time, Rivercourt House was the residence of the novelist Naomi Mitchison between 1923 and 1939. She built a reading & writing room at the rear of her beautiful garden and included a squash court. The building was ornately decorated with friezes and features with a nautical theme by the sculptor Gertrude Hermes, a highly considered artist of the time, and
its wavy south facing wall is quite an unusual piece of architectural design. The School Governors bought Rivercourt House in 1951 and it was shared by the Prep Department of some 50 boys under the care of Mrs Wiggans and also used by Sixth Formers. In recent years we no longer use the squash court and have refurbished the building to include a performance space and a computing suite, as the photos show, renaming it the Seahorse Studio in keeping with the finial that sits on its Western turret.

Dear Editor, Half-forgotten names in your last issue from the remote past! I remember Peter DRYSDALE and John CARNE, but they are shadows. Mr Bott I remember very well and his introduction as Mr Bottamongstus. The years immediately after the War were a time of rapid change as masters came and went. Mr Bott was the first of five Biology masters who taught me. In spite of this seven from Mr Blayney’s form went on to read Medicine and two others, Michael BUSH and, now I learn, John CARNE, did so as well. Nine from one year must be some sort of record? The impact of Aisla Fryer in a boy’s school is well-described. The second girl was Marion, but I cannot remember her surname. I thought they were from Godolphin rather than Twickenham, but I could be wrong. They were a portent of the value of coeducation because, with the arrogance of boys, we were surprised to find that they were as bright as we thought we were. I too acted in the production of Julius Caesar and remember particularly well the superb costumes that Wilf Sharpe acquired from the Rank Production of Bernard Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra. Brian WATKINS, as you might expect, was a super Brutus and streets ahead of the rest of us in professionalism. I remember one particular
incident when the serving boy Lucius missed his cue and Brian, without pausing, saw someone else in the wings and said, ‘Decius, bid Lucius bring a bowl of wine,’ the blank verse indistinguishable from the Bard’s. It seems to be expected that these contributions should include a few words about one’s life. They might be of interest to some but 1950 is so long ago. After training as a radiologist I spent two years in a research post in the USA and then nearly thirty years as a consultant at the Neurological Centre in Southampton. In 1957 I married Christine, the first Sister I saw in my first job after qualifying and, we have two sons, both now in their fifties. I have had MS since 1970 and have been in a wheelchair for 25 years, but I have had an immensely fulfilling life and enjoyed every minute. I wouldn’t recommend MS, but if you’ve got to have it, mine is the sort to have. What a debt to Latymer, not merely an education but so much that one would not expect. Who would think that a lifelong interest in History would stem from ‘Beery’ Sopwith, or that Wilf Shape would endow my love of the theatre? Professor Peter COOK (1951)
YOUR LETTERS
Letters to the Editor…
Dear Editor, A group met in France in August to sing with John Poole, former Latymer teacher and later for many years BBC’s Director of Choral Music. We had a splendid week together and gave a concert in the grand church close to his present home in Bellac, near Limoges. I was pleased to read memories from another brilliant musician Alan BLACKWELL (1963) in the Letters of the last edition. I remember his performance of the Beethoven concerto.

BENNETT I would like to mention (1960), David Till (teacher) and Steve RICHARDS (1965) my close school friend Stephen WYATT (1965). We lost contact until a few years ago when we met at a Latymerians’ reunion. He is a renowned writer with many broadcasts works to his credit. Last Decemb er his substantial drama Finlandia was aired on BBC Radio 3, dealing with the later life of Sibelius. This was a fascinat ing play interwoven with music and featuring Tim Piggot-Smith and Barbara Flynn. By chance, I had planned to visit the Sibelius House Museum near Helsinki in late July and I was able to give a CD copy of Stephen’s drama to the delighted Archive Curator. Steve RICHARDS (1965)
