"The Retfordian" 1914-1960
|
 |
- The webmaster has been fortunate enough to be given a set of
21 Retfordians - school magazines of his old school, covering
the time he was there 1951-1958. They are crammed full of detail
about exam results, oddball school societies, trips abroad, masters leaving
and arriving, teams for cricket, football, athletics, Founder's Day,
Speech Day, Old Retfordians at university, House notes, and weird
poems by weird boys.
- Another 7 copies of the Retfordian,
Jul 1947 to Jul 1950, have been added to the collection on CD, making a
total of 928 pages scanned. My thanks to Roy Cordall (1942-1950) for
the loan of his magazines.
- After contacting the
Bassetlaw Museum,
they most kindly scanned and provided 1,200 pages of Retfordians
in their possession from 1914 to 1937.
These have been added to my collection on CD.
- John Olsen has sent 2 copies of the Retfordian
from 1961, thanks John.
- A CD containing scans of all the pages of these Retfordians
is available. This will be on sale for £10.
- If you have any enquiries or photos, contact
