Gordon Haywood left School in April to start his career in his father's brush manufacturing business. He entered the School in September, 1927.

Derrick and Bryan Reynolds also left owing to their parents removing to Cliftonville where Mr. Reynolds has taken a tobacconist's business.

In collaboration with the Girls' High School, and Miss Filmer's School of typewriting and shorthand, the School was represented at the County Fair. In an imposing marquee there was on view a specimen of every boy's work in all subjects, as well as other exhibits likely to interest the public.

The object of the exhibition was to show the public that the non-aided independent schools can hold their own in all branches of education. A number of educational specialists and experts visited the stand, and declared themselves well satisfied.

More than a thousand people saw the exhibits, amongst whom was Mr. Bossom, M.P., who spent an interesting quarter of an hour with us.
