1948 Play. Twelfth Night - A Jack Good Production
The notes here are ambiguous by crediting both Stuart Hutchinson and John Glyn with supplying up to two photos and names. John Glyn, 1946, also supplied a play programme which may be still in an archive not yet discovered. The note about Stuart Hutchinson mentions a photo of Mr Dean and the musicians, which could be about another photo. More details and corrections will follow, if they are found.

Graduated from Birmingham University and became an exchange assistant in Salgau before moving to Leipzig to become a lecturer in English at a commercial college for two years. He returned to England when war broke out and served in the army for seven years, rising to captain in the Royal Artillery, which saw action in Egypt, Lebanon and Rhodes. His first job on demob was at Lord Wilson's School, Thame, Oxfordshire, from where he moved to Trinity, teaching French and Spanish. He was form master for one of the top streams, 1951 intake, classes of 3B to 5B, 1953-1956. He assisted in housemaster duties in St David's House. Bernard took part in school dramas, including The Last War (1952) and The Winslow Boy.
