In Games we had another reasonably good year. In Football all teams did well but failed at the final hurdle. In Cricket the Under 13s and Senior Teams were undefeated; the Under 13s were cup winners and the Under 15s joint section leaders. In Cross Country we came third in the Boyd Carpenter Competition and we maintained an improvement in Athletics. In Swimming we again won the Grammar Schools’ Championship.

G Butterfield played and A Barraclough was reserve for the Bradford Grammar Schools’ Association Football Team that played Glasgow.

T Tiffany came 1st in the 100 yards free-style at the Yorkshire Schools’ Championship and third in the English Championships. M Bateman and M Bennett swam for Bradford in the Yorkshire Schools’ Championships

Hymn: ‘These things shall be

These things shall be: a loftier race

Than e’er the world hath known shall rise,

With flame of freedom in their souls,

And light of knowledge in their eyes.

 

They shall be gentle, brave and strong

To spill no drop of blood, but dare

All that may plant man’s lordship firm

O’er earth and fire, and sea and air

 

Nation with nation, land with land,

Inarm’d shall live as comrades free:

In every heart and brain shall throb

The pulse of one fraternity.

 

Man shall love man with hearts as pure

And fervent as the young -ey’d throng

Who chant their heav’nly psalms before

God’s face with undiscordant song

 

New arts shall bloom of loftier mould,

And mightier music thrill the skies,

And ev’ry life shall be a song,

When all the earth is paradise.

 

There shall be no more sin, nor shame,

Though pain and passion may not die:

For man shall be at one with God

In bonds of firm necessity
