A School Captain's badge, 1956.

A prefect's badge, 1955. Neither this nor the undated blue sample to the right are as appealing as the 1960 badge shown on the previous page.

Clive Hall sent this picture of a house captain's badge - but doesn't recall being a house captain! Does anyone remember house captains, perhaps after the merger with South Grove?

Christine Edwards, nee Peak sent this photo of her daughter Sophie modelling a DCS beret.

A school tie.

A Vice-Captain's badge, 1955.

Another form of
Prefect's badge.

A Roberts house badge, c.1956.

A Mandall house badge, c.1956.

A Wilson house badge.

A school scarf.

Peter Wood (Woody) has sent this shot of another scarf. Does anyone else remember scarves with the stripes running down their length, rather than crosswise as in the earlier photo above?

Linda King (nee Hillyer) comments:-
I hate to admit it but I still have my scarf with the stripes going down. It is kept in the bottom of my husband's wardrobe (he went to Chapel End School in Walthamstow) - it is the only item of clothing I kept! I think the scarf only came into being just before we left school in 1963 or maybe it was only worn by upper school, not sure but was certainly an improvement on the old scarf.

A school cap. Photo sent by Raymond Turner.

Not a badge or an item of uniform, of course, but you've probably seen this before, in the dim, distant past...

from Peter Raymond.

...perhaps in one of these.
