Salutations Fellow VADHANs,

Here we go again! Still enjoying all the "after-chat" of another happy reunion. The sun shone, the hall looked beautiful, and we had an attendance of about 96.

We were sorry Mrs Solomon and Peggy Littlewood couldn't be with us, but I suppose longevity and burgers had to win. Peggy's letter said, "This year we are celebrating the 550th Anniversary of the Granting of the Charter to Tarring for holding the 'Market', and thus the Market, which this year is on June 11th, (once again the same day as the Reunion!), is an occasion from which we are not able to absent ourselves -the Hot Dog stall being a very important part of the proceedings!”? Peggy also enclosed a

cutting from the Daily Telegraph, entitled "Shell Shock". It reads, "From Siliguri, West Bengal, Elizabeth Hailes reports the following restaurant menu offering 'Poked eggs on toast.'" and Peggy's comment was 'Sorabjees ?'.

My aunt and uncle -Dot and John Lochner -had to cancel their trip down as my aunt went for a trip of her own -down the stairs of Marks & Spencer's store, dislocating her right shoulder. Although it was relocated she was left with pain and bruising. Both were, naturally, very disappointed not to have been with us, but are equally adamant to make it next year.

Sally Stewart (MacDonald) too, was sorry to miss meeting her old friends who had travelled from both near and as far afield as the States. Sally telephoned in the morning, so I was able to pass her messages on. Hopefully, next year…..

Amit Bose was with us and gave us some more suggestions. We would like to know how many are really interested in the trip. VADHANs in Calcutta would play host to visitors in their homes. In Kurseong accommodation would be in the schools and guest houses. Should a further trip to Katmandu be desired, this could be organised. October seems to be the favoured month, but the question now is 1995 or 1996. There are some VADHANs who are attending the Anglo-Indian Reunion in Perth, OZ, in March '95, thereby making a trip to India as well out of the question. Please will you write to me if you are interested and I will pass on the information to Amit.

It was great seeing Daphne Brown (Hardinge) and her brother Rod. He is as large as she is petite. Doreen Wells (Young) and her brother Peter were instantly recognised by quite a few. This surprised Peter, as he no longer has his shock of hair! (It makes no odds -he's still something!)

By no means least, if last, Clive Antram rolled in, propping his eyelids open. He had just flown in for 48 hours. My husband, Dereyck, felt most deprived as he was looking forward to hugging Clive's wife, Judy! Again, next year….

Much as I enjoyed the afternoon it flew by too quickly and as usual I feel I've not really chatted to anyone for long enough. (NO comments !)

Warren O'Rourke's letter from Canada brought news of their reunion held on May l8th. He wrote: " Dow Hillians attending were Brenda Marr (Brewster}, Madhusree Das Gupta (Sen), Benita Rosario (Dunne), Jean Lockyer (Watkins), Noreen O'Malley (Lockyer), Dorothy Casper (Stewart) and Olive Ross (McNeil). Victorians present were Aubrey Ballantine, George Watson and me. Four spouses accompanied the group and a good time was had by all. The function was held in a space reserved in an Indian restaurant and the meal was served buffet style, a large variety and eat as much as you want.

.

I had given the restaurant a number of 'about 20' and when it became clear we were going to be short Aubrey invited some friends, also with a school-in- India background. Five showed up and added a great deal to our conversation and enjoyment. Aubrey jokingly predicted we would move on to a reunion for Indian school wallahs at the Royal York with hundreds of guests.

It's surprising what turns up when India-borns meet: Bunny Cochrane (one, of Aubrey's friends) had been in the same class at St. George's, Mussoorie, as Phelim O'Malley (Noreen's husband); Noreen had been with my two sisters, at Saints' Teachers College, Naini Tal; my sister, Audrey; had taught Madhusree, Benita and Olive in Dow: Hill. There was banter between Kharagpur (George Watson) and Jamalpur (David Ross), both sides well supported (Brenda and Beatrice Watson for .Karagpur and Noreen and Jean for Jamalpur).

We have been holding reunions since, '87 and have missed only once. Several have been at every reunion and special mention must be made of George Watson, .who comes down from Thunder Bay (1200 miles) and always makes a big contribution. His brother Don missed for the first time this year. We value these occasions and remember many teachers and dear friends from our past, and wish we could be at your reunions and the Aussie ones as well."

From Eastern Australia Alice Wrigley (Hardaker) asked that their reunion date be advertised: It is to be on Sept. 3rd. '94 at Natalie Noney's home, 33, Bryson St., Toongabbie, N.S.W. 214.6. Tel. 026310 407. or 'phone Alice on 047391 323. I can assure anyone who attends of a really warm welcome. Alice's news was on similar lines to Warren's: "My son, Julian, was attending night school to learn creative writing and in his class was a person whom he thought was from India. Upon mentioning to her that I was in Dow Hill she was very surprised and said she was a St. Helen 's, girl and had never met anyone from Kurseong since arriving here in the '70s. So I made a date, and invited Natalie as well, because her sister 'and eldest son attended St. Helen's. Tamara Nicsaishia is 64, of Burmese/Russian parents and was originally from Rangoon and arrived in Calcutta in 1943." She knew the Whilby sisters and Mary Cracknell. She could not stop talking and said' it was so wonderful to be able to talk half Hindi and half English and be understood. We all know that feeling. Tamara and Natalie got on very well and were able to catch up on Calcutta gossip!"

We had a card from Barbara Todd (Barnet), who was with us last year, on behalf of West Australian VADHANs, sending us good wishes. She also sent a photocopy of a photograph with all the names of the Upper School in DH of 1939. I can oblige with a copy to anyone who would like one.

.

Talking of old souvenirs, Joan Hatherly (Gogerly) sent me her autograph book of 1947 to display. I enjoyed seeing my own signature on the first brick of her wall of friendship. She sent a snap of her class of 1950, consisting of April Johnstone, Joan Gogerly, Sally Glenn-Hoyle, Dawn Gill, Meher Jahan, Doris Kerr, Crystal Cowan, Valerie Sankey, Daphne Kerr, Clara Dunne. We discovered that Clara Dunne is sister-in-law to Dudley Avery's wife!

I cut out an article about Michael Palin in which he states his motto would be, "Fortiter in Re, Suaviter in Modo". Of course you all recognise it as the reverse order of the Dow Hill motto. I plan to write to him about it, and who knows ...For those who do not know Michael Palin, he is a well known personality on. TV, actor, author, traveller.

Peter Clifford has been involved in designing a special First Day Cover and stamps to celebrate D-Day. I asked him to tell us about this, which he did, and those who wished were able to purchase these items from him.

I was very touched and appreciative of the basket of flowers that was presented to me on behalf of VADHA. Thank you very much. As I went on to say, it is really a combined effort. Without Des you wouldn't get this; without Dorothy and Tony's catering those present would have to bring their own lunch- boxes (tiffin carriers ?!); without Bubbles and the hall we would have to look elsewhere- not an easy option. Hence I'm just another cog in the wheel that is turned by your shoulders. It works so well because we do all play our parts - keep those shoulders on the wheel !

Yes, it was good to see Bubbles. She feels it will be in order for us to hold next year's reunion on June 12th., so please put it in your diaries now.

Dorothy and Tony provided their usual excellent tea. The "nibbles" beforehand were as enjoyable and attractively presented as the meal itself. The swans, sculpted from apples, proved almost too pretty to eat! These were prepared by Tony's son, ran. Dorothy's son, Robert, and his girl friend, Gill, have been helping out for some years now. They are to be married in August and we wish them both all good luck and happiness.

Dudley Avery, now called 'The Sausage Man', brought cooler boxes full of his homemade fare. Each year he brings a larger quantity and is still not supplying enough.

Stanley Prins was with us and said the Grace. His cousin lives a few doors away from my mother, so she and her daughter came and it was heart-warming to see them together. Stanley brought some really fascinating memorabilia, including his father's photograph album dating from the pre-1930's.

The hardest part: of the reunion is to get members to pose for the snaps. The results never indicate the whips we have to use to herd them to the chairs! The Dow Hill song was sung as lustily as ever.

Irene Seaman came to the reunion and I'm sure met some familiar faces. She wrote "Perhaps I am sentimental but I always miss Dolly's presence on these occasions, but .its my secret." I'm sorry I am letting out the secret, but, Irene, please don't think you are the only one who feels this way. There are many who, like us, miss Dolly's warmth and sincerity. We should share these feelings and give her the credit she is due for all she did for us. I still feel she shares it with us.

Peter Grout, from Australia, writes: "My regards to those who remember me and the 'Golden years at VS.' I hope you impose a fine or 100 lines on those unable to spin your 'tops'. At my 70th birthday in early April Owen Browne was boasting {to those who cared to listen) that he had known me for 61 years! !" He also sent some extracts from a book titles "Calcutta 200 Years". I promise to include these in the January newsletter.

George Watson, in Canada, played cricket and hockey with Peter in the first team in '41. He was one of those caught smoking by my Uncle, John Lochner, and you know how that ended! Olga Ankelsaria, George's sister, who usually lives in Calcutta, spent two months with him over Christmas, and survived "one of the coldest winters on record, with temperatures of -37 C, warming up to -22 c in the day !"

In February Warren O'Rourke wrote about Jim Bayford and Owen Browne His memories ran thus, "Jim Bayford was the only boy in my time who could bowl a genuine googly on demand. Unfortunately he could do it only with a tennis ball and to my knowledge never bowled one in a cricket match. Still, it was an accomplishment and displayed an affinity for the game. Jim was long in the body and had a splendid spine. He was a very fine shot and led us to a Baker Shield win. I remember Mr. Hessing saying Jim's five shots in the 100 yards grouping test could have been covered by a rupee. Years later his sister, Althea, told me Jim had been taught to shoot by their dad.

Owen Browne was on the small side, but more than made up for it by the size of his brain. One year the VS Scout troop went to Darjeeling for a jamboree. (Where did Verni, as Scoutmaster, raise the money?) On the way home by train a tired Owen Browne, sitting next to me, fell asleep, head in my lap. Perhaps girls more than boys were occasionally cast in a parental role at boarding school."

Warren also says that early as Neville Bird's dates may be, "They are not .as early as Pop (Theo) Canham's, also a VADHAN, and still going strong in Toronto, who was at Victoria from 1912 -1919. Pop still drives a car but avoids the heaviest traffic. He has been at all our VADHA get-togethers in Toronto and when I 'phone him always asks about the next one. He gets me to bring dahl purees as his contribution to the food supply."

Joan Beniston (Wakefield), too, has an old friend, "Rosalind Taylor (Ritchson), whom I've known from 1935 and in College 1941-2, spent three days in Exmouth at the end of April. We met up with her and took her around. How did the days go? NO COMMENT!"

Clare Walton (Pereira) is in close contact with Harold Chalke, who won the DUX medal. He lives in Beckenham and exchanges visits with Clare.

As always, it was lovely seeing Elizabeth Law (Berry) at the reunion. I believe she was the oldest member present. Not content to be needing the attention of one surgeon she is inveigling three to sort her out! We wish her well and a speedy recovery to good health. She had written: "Did you hear the programme on Radio 3, 'The Sound of Time Passing' -Daybreak in Darjeeling. It was wonderful. I always write up for post-production scripts (pay a small sub. to B.B.C. Children in Need.) Being born in Darjeeling and at DH/VS till I was 18, it was enthralling to hear the D.H.Rly train whistle -so much the Darjeeling of 1933."

Sally Stewart (MacDonald) recently wrote a long, newsy, nostalgic letter. I've read it over and over again, and have to share it with you. "I do love news about the 'older' generation -Neville Loving being a case in point. What an interesting family - talented too. How marvellous to think that Victoria boys had the skill and initiative to form their own dance band -and got to play at Dow Hill do's. ! I can't recall anything so 'lavish' during my middle school and senior years. I remember a string of acrobats, Shakespearian companies, the odd magician, one of whom caused water to gush forth from my ears and tummy (I was very mortified) and another who suspended the poor little dusting bearer! I remember gymkhanas, movies and suchlike when social contact was on the agenda. But there wasn't much going on in my final year that I can recall -no wonder some of us took matters into our own hands!!! Such fun.

Harking back to my Senior Cambridge year, a bit of succinct advice delivered by Molly Siddons sticks in my mind. She was supposed (in her role as Hygiene and Physiology Mistress) to 'clue us in' at the end of our senior year. Here is what she said -verbatim. 'You must never let a boy hold your hands. You never know where they've put them last and boys don't always wash their hands.' That was it. Sum total of my introduction to the mysterious and baffling world of sex!! ! I have to tell you that this wise bit of disinformation had a profound effect and thereafter I would always insist that young men place a handkerchief in their hand if they wanted to dance with me. Molly Siddons was a teacher after all, and as such, was only a little lower than the gods!

Remember the library? Did you know that a crinolined lady and her paramour sat in the alcove formed by the bay window -behind the baize curtains? This was a nightly tryst and, when we were little ones and had to pass that way, down the corridor and up the sheltered stairway en route to the junior dormitory, I would avert my eyes in case I spotted them... the consequences were bloody awful if I did! Dow Hill seemed to have discarnate beings in such inconvenient places. Outside the library door, in the corridor, hung the 'School Rules' -framed. There were seventy-two of them (or do I mean seventeen?) and the only one I can remember with any certainty is the one that forbids running in the corridor!!!

Denise Coelho makes mention of Miss Bwye. She taught me too when I was 'only just a little girl' and shone academically. It all evaporated as I grew older and 'other things' took the place of mere text books. Anyway, she selected girls to take part in one of her plays, according to marks earned in a set composition. Well I 'excelled' but was not one of her little favourites and was relegated to the role of a tree! There were four other trees, covered head to toe in brown monks, robes and though our faces were covered in cowls, we were permitted to smear ourselves with lipstick. What a joy! We held Kryptomaria branches, to wave gently or shake savagely as the mood of the play dictated. We made our debut at a school concert in '43 and it, the play, was a musical and Pam Shalders got the lead role. She sang, above all things, 'Mariolena, you're... ' I'm sure Miss Bwye made up the whole shebang. On reflection, I probably did get a starring role -the play was called 'The Singing Leaves'. I wonder if any of the other trees remember?

It is May. What images does that conjure re the haunts of our childhood? Do you remember the May bushes which surrounded and all but hid the pretty little R.C.chapel beside the jhora which marked the school boundary (never mind the adjacent junior toilets)? The bank on the chapel side was smothered with pink and white daisies and Arum lilies brightened the damp shadows beneath the little wooden bridge. They were on the wane having struck their high note in the Victoria and Dow Hill chapel at Easter. The May bushes were in full bloom and I have a clear vision of them. May, in the hills, was balmy and it is just such a day here in Perth as I write. Do you remember how warm and still the afternoons were? Overcoats had been discarded and we were back in blazers, and walks in the woods were a reality, and FREEDOM beckoned on the other side of the bridge! And did you ever hear the cuckoo which lived in the woods above the grass bank outside and beyond Miss Teyen's room? Each and every May, I would hear its call through the open window of her Geography room and it seemed such a shame to spoil those lovely, dreamy afternoons with mere classroom chatter! May was a special month. I remember the 'feel' of it. Today has a sleepy, mellow air -there are turtle-doves cooing and canoodling in the sunlight on the back lawn -and I am having a delicious deja vu!"

I received a postcard of greetings for the Reunion from "The Websters", now in Perth, Australia :- John (Lanky), Shirley (now a Hagerty), Derek (Dick), Gerald (1950-53), Maureen (Parry) 1928-33, and signed by each.

Eileen Damerun (Elvidge) asks if anyone knows the whereabouts of Peggy McIntyre and Jenny Ranfey.

Remember the request for tomato sauce recipes! I will enclose my Mum's later. Muriel Glendinning (Seymour-Shove) brought us a bottle of her own make and it is great, so I'II have that recipe, please, Muriel. Meanwhile Pat Hitz wrote from Switzerland on paper from a recipe book at least 60 years old:

INDIAN TOMATO SAUCE.

5 seers tomatoes, red. Chillie optional (or tabasco) 1/2 seer ginger (I keep mine ready in vinegar) 1/3-1/3 seer garlic (I keep mine ready in vinegar)

2 seers sugar. 1 tbs. salt.

Vinegar, enough to enable you to cook with sugar, to a shiny jam consistency.

Make a strained puree of the tomatoes.

Add spices after pureeing them in a mixer.

Stir practically all the while, tasting for sweet or sour and adding one or the other. (I take 3-4 days and leave it in the pan outside between cooling and heating until it’s like a jam.

Rinse bottles with vinegar before filling.

Do the same with green tomatoes (hard fruit + raisins), plums, apricots and that ilk.

Your friends will stand around with buttered bread so take small bottles or jars -Good for gifts when you are invited out.

(A seer can vary from about 1 1/2 kilograms to 500 grams in different parts of India, but usually about 1 kg. The important thing is to keep your proportions right. -Des.)

A list of members who attended the Reunion is at the end of this missive.

With the increased cost of postage, envelopes, paper, etc., we are asking members to contribute at least £1.50 for annual subscriptions. We are in the black at present, through the generosity of some members.

However though we need to be solvent, we need even more to enjoy the fun, friendship and exchanges of nostalgia that our schools gave us for our lifetimes.

I end with warmth.

Love,

Grace.
