1961-1966
"I remember 'going round' - the initiation for new boys in the junior dorm. At about the two-week mark, on successive nights, after lights out, each one took their turn to sing a song and tell a joke."
Ralph Seller
1976-1982
"In my day there were outside toilets on the ground floor, and twenty odd boys to an unheated dormitory in the case of the junior dorm. Even the House Captain and the rest of the Rooker slept in the senior dormitory! A favourite punishment from the Rooker was to polish to a shine half a dozen verdigrised brass taps or hand wash the Rookers shirts for a week!"
