HawkinsHarry Pics

Re the picture of Harry on the site. I believe I took this pic in class around1958. I remember hiding in the cupboards & creeping out to take some pics. I don't know what happened to the pics & who has them now, & if this was not taken by me, apolgies to the person who did take it. I was a boarder in School House at the time under John Shields.

 

Best regards

The silly season

Hi, everyone. Hope you're all well.

 

It really is quiet on the list, isn't it? I suddenly had the horrible thought that it might be that I've recently changed my email address, and perhaps I hadn't updated my MS profile, so perhaps I was missing notifications. Well, indeed I hadn't changed my profile - but now that I've visited the board I see I haven't missed a lot !

 

Not that I've contributed anything. To try and drum up some news, I entered 'Peter Symonds' into Google's news alert. Lots of results - but not much that would enthral this nostalgic list, I think.

 

'Penguin News' in the Falklands has news about PS students' AS and A-levels - you knew PSC has a link with the Falklands, didn't you? That's of huge interest to the young striplings, less so to the grumpy old men.

 

There are lots of news stories written by a bloke called Peter Symonds who contributes to 'World Socialist' and similar rags. There's also a story about a paedophile - but luckily, there's no connection with the school - it's just a paedophile called Peter being arrested by a policeman called Symonds.

 

So we'll have to make the news. But I haven't got anything to report - just the same old same old. Had a nice couple of weeks in Granada recently, though.

 

Best to everyone,

 

Chris

mathematical pi

here is another half remembered nostalgia moment. They all seem half remembered these days!

About 1952, one of the masters started up a magazine if that isn't too grand a word which was meant to popularise mathematics. It was called Mathematical Pie, and had a little poetic jingle introducing it which started off something like "Is the fallacy true that one equals two" and went on in similar vein.

Does anyone remember it?

regards,
