1917 Easter Term

Easter Term 1917 (Aged 12)

I returned to Ludgrove on Feb 1, a week extra owing to the amount of sickness, which ran on at the school through the holidays.
I was over at the Cottage with Burns, Bromley-Martin and Gurney.
In Classics I was left 4th up to Mr Brown and that was my place at the end of the term but Butler, Douglas-Home, who were bracketed 2nd (equal) above me were only 1 mark ahead out of 3000.
Mr Brown reports that I have again worked excellently and made good steady progress.
In Mathematics, left 2nd, I was again 2nd being beaten by Butler. Mr Oakley complains of a want of accuracy, but says that I am certainly improving.
In French I was left 5th and kept my place. Mr Brown says that I improved as much as could be expected.
In History 8th, up to Mr Smith, Geography 6th up to Mr Brown, there is the same report of steady progress.
Mr Smith gives me an excellent report for conduct.
Both Mr Brown and Mr Oakley will put me on higher work next term, but state that I am not up to Scholarship standard.
We played football during about half the term, when we were not skating. Miss Smith broke her
