1919 Easter

I returned to Winchester on Jan 22 and was up to Mr Quirk in the middle part 2, ending up 6th out of 25. I thought that I had not got on well with him, but he gave me a really good report, ‘a good term’s work – among the best in the div at Classics, with the instincts of a scholar, painstaking and thorough, altogether most promising’.
In Greek 4th out of 21, very fair, he worked well, and finds the work still well within my grasp, having had a good grounding at Ludgrove.In Maths, up to Mr Durell, 5/18, who reports that I have made satisfactory progress.I got a good report for Science, but happen not to have done any, and secured no remarks upon my French.The Headmaster states: ‘good, he did capital work in my exam: I hope he is ambitious’.Bather also reports that I have done well and will come on quickly as I grow stronger.I played in . (Assn Under 16) and we were 2nd, my place being inside right. I played a lot of fives and enjoyed it very much.I dined out with Aunt Gwen, who came down to see Roddy. There were no leave out days.
