1915 Football Half

1915 Football Half (Aged 11)

I returned to Ludgrove on Oct 8th after convalescence from scarlet fever, during which I lost nearly all my hair but it grew all right during the half.
I was moved up into the 2nd Div up to Mr Stanborough and lost 1 place, which I hope to recover next term. He reports that it is not possible to judge on the work after the long time lost, but that he expects me to do really well next term.
In Maths I was in Div I and Mr Oakley says that when I have learned how to work and be neater I ought to do well. I was Eq. 9th out of 13.
In French I was 3rd in Div II up to Mr Blore, who reports good work and considerable improvement.
In History Mr Brown reports that I have worked well and have made fairly good progress, ending up 5th out of 16.
In Geography Mr Blore reports good work and satisfactory results, 3rd out of 13 in Div II.
Mr Smith reports that he is satisfied with me in every way.
I was in a room with Nigel and Thynne and Burberry. The Half was again spoiled by 3 new cases of scarlet fever, but we were able to play some matches at the end – the school getting badly beaten. I played twice for the 2nd XI keeping
