SCHOOL LISTS ('GREY BOOKS') AND SPEECH DAY PROGRAMMES

See below, a table with links to scans of School Lists, better known as Grey Books. On this page you can find scans of staff and pupil names from the Grey Books of 1957 to 1970, coinciding with the years for which I have records. (Note that I have redacted some of the images slightly to remove day and month of birth from dates of birth.)

In the table that follows, there are photo indexes which I have prepared showing the names of people who may or may not be at the school at the time a particular photo was taken. Where the person has been identified, a reference number has been supplied to enable you to find them in the photo. Note that all bar one photo was taken towards the end of the academic year (between April and July); hence, for example, the 1958 photo was taken in academic year 1957/58. The exception is the 1967 photo, which was taken in September 1967, hence it falls in academic year 1967/68.

INDEXES OF NAMES OF MASTERS AND BOYS AT THE TIME OF A PARTICULAR PHOTO

1958 Junior School Photo Index 1964 Sixth Form Photo Index

SPEECH DAY PROGRAMMES

Speech Day programmes contain interesting info including winners of school prizes, who went to which university, etc. I have programmes for 1958 to 1970 except for 1962 and 1963. Can anyone else supply these? Where I don't have an actual copy of a programme, I have extracted the same (or similar) data from what appears in The Wycombiensian.
