Mr Summers gave out the Fantasy Football Results. As this is still mid-season I will just mention V Tray, who with 418 points is 23 ahead of second place. Apparently he has led all term!

The Carol Service

Today was normal for the first two lessons. Well, almost - the Choir had already left for Eton College Chapel for the final 'tweaks' before our Carol Service, so some forms were a little depleted. At 9.30 the bell went and everyone had the final preparations before departure - hair combed, shoelaces tied, and all those minutiae so disliked by the average boy! 

The coach and minibuses left at 10am, and after a reasonably traffic-free journey we arrived outside the Chapel at about 1020. It was interesting to see the reactions of some of the boys on entering this magnificent Chapel for the first time. The Caldicott Chapel is a fantastic place but bears no comparison to this building, founded in the reign of Henry VI. It is long, and very high with its perpendicular architecture.

It was a really good Service. Praise must go to all of the readers - A Nicol (9.10), M Lambert (11.02), G Peel (11.04), F Coupland (12.11) and Head Prefect T Curzon (13.01). It is not an easy task to speak in such a big space, and to so many people, especially as he has to remember to clip a little microphone to his chest and have the right piece ready, even before he can begin!

i am sure, though, that everyone would like to give particular praise to D Jackson (13.00), who sang the first solo verse of "Once in Royal David's City." This is always difficult. It is sung unaccompanied, and in a such a big space and with the obvious tension it is easy for the intonation to drift. If it is not spot-on the error is then exposed when the organ and congregation join for the second verse. This did not happen today. It was sung beautifully, and was in tune throughout.

Well done to the whole choir, the readers, Mr Wild, Mr Paget - no, wait. Well done to EVERYONE.

1st XV, 1962 Print E-mail

Thanks so much to Fiona Harris (mother of James, left in July), who sent this picture of the 1962 1st XV, and the comment below. I'm not sure where the camera's pointing - perhaps there was a classroom on Top Field then? Does anyone know? Can anyone identify the viewpoint?

1962_1st_xv
I have a friend, Frank Connor, who went to Caldicott. He has sent me this rugby photo of the 1962 1st XV - he is the captain.
 
That made me think.  Does anyone have any pictures of Caldicott's past? if so, please email agp (@caldicott.com).
Little differences can seem so significant. Notice that the boys sitting all have their hands in their pockets! Surely not ...
 
There is going to be a large history section, where this and other pictures will be available at high resolution.
