MISS DOROTHY G. M. MORGAN, B.Sc.

The School opened for the Summer Term on 3rd May, 1921. A term later Miss Dorothy G. M. Morgan joined the Staff, so it can be said that from those early beginnings in 1921 Miss Morgan has been associated with practically the whole life and growth of the School. As she comes to retire and take a well-earned rest, we realise that the last link with those early days - from the Staff angle - is to be severed.

On joining the Staff, and indeed practically entirely since, Miss Morgan has been associated with the Science side of the School. Excursions into Chemistry and Mathematics she did occasionally make, but she will be remembered mainly by present and past pupils for the excellence of her teaching in Botany - an excellence reflected in the high standard of success in the public examinations. Memories crowd in at such a time and though a present few may express grateful thanks for the excellent range of "Tuck" available at break - Miss Morgan has supervised the Tuck Shop for many years - others still will recall the many Sports Days on the field when she would always be found sitting under the oak tree (now alas "gone") like a recording angel, keeping the details of results.

But particularly on the Girls' side of the School, most will always remember the detailed concern she has shown in their health and welfare. For on the retirement of Miss Fleming in 1945, Miss Morgan became Senior Mistress, and on her shoulders devolved the more intimate oversight of the girls - a duty to which she has devoted herself so steadfastly over these years.

And so as she comes to sever her active association, those who have passed through, and we who remain, unite in a simple but sincere "Thank You" and wish for Miss Morgan many happy years of retirement, and we hope she will be able to combine with it the travelling abroad in which she finds so much delight.
