The Club Every week there has been some interesting function and the Club has become such a home-from-home that we cannot imagine life without it. Entrance fee is 1d. Mrs Houston has won our everlasting thanks for her bargain price refreshments. The Club will be open some evenings during the holidays for reading, games and other events. IMAGE Rose-Hip Gatherers The Green Manor Allotment Society Mrs Houston reports: Half term marked the beginning of the active gardening season. Three Allotments are now under cultivation. Private plotholders number thirty-two, from the landed gentry of Form IV to the Nursery Gardeners of the First Form. The Barton Field is being tilled to the last inch by the small holders, while the veteran gardeners who live on the hill have repeatedly occupied new territory and now cultivate impressive areas. At dawn and dusk they may be seen thoughtfully pacing the acres and during the enforced inactivity of the less productive school hours we believe their thoughts dwell often on the rich promise of the soil. No fine Monday or Friday has passed without ready volunteers doing yeoman service on the school plot, led generally by Rogers and the other experts. For regular work in their own time bonus shares are being awarded. A show of produce will be held in the Summer Term; meanwhile Mr Houston has been interested to inspect the plots and has awarded Commendations in three Grades for Spring cultivation. In the Sales Department, Brussels Sprouts remained productive and profitable far into the Spring, while Savoys and their miraculous properties are becoming better known to a wider public.

Someone obviously ignored the instruction! Photographs from The Green Manor News-Sheet No. 3 Mr Marshall The 21st edition of Prospice, the School Magazine, published in the Autumn of 1959 printed the following tribute to Mr SF Marshall, one of the teachers who was at Torquay who died suddenly in 1957: To say that he was Physics Master at Greenford from 1940 to 1944 is to present a mere fraction of his contribution to the early years of the School. These were the years of the Second World War, of a new school divided by evacuation: and it is at Torquay, particularly at Hillside, the Club-House, or at harvest camps, fruit-picking at Tardebigge, or making music in the Choir and Orchestra, before the Staff included a music specialist, that most of us will remember him. He is, not irreverently, a caricature in the memory: a burly figure on a bicycle of unique design, a 'cello balanced precariously across his back, a vasculum or camera bouncing at his side, a saddle-bag bulging with music wrapped around a bundle of tools, maps in one pocket, a cookery-book in another, a tent and billy-cans strapped to the carrier just Mr Marshall going off for a week-end. One felt that only reluctantly had he left behind the piano on which he was no mean exponent. It was not therefore surprising that such extensive interests in the widest aspects of education should lead him first into educational administration in Cumberland, a district offering unrivalled opportunities for walking and climbing which he loved: and then to Headships in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. This love of the open air, and an energetic devotion to its opportunities which he so successfully communicated to most of us at Torquay, found further expression when, after the War, he was able to take school parties abroad: it was while leading a Ramblers' Association tour in the Bernese Oberland that he died suddenly at Grindelwald Youth Hostel. page 37
