Mr. Kurt who taught French and German at this School for the last sixteen years, left us at the end of April to begin a well-deserved retirement. However, since during the last year of his service, Mr. Kurt was in charge of 'Careers', it may not be beyond his ingenuity to find some other occupation which could take up at least part of his newly found spare time.

Past pupils and staff will remember Mr. Kurt for many reasons not least of which were the excellence of his teaching and his prowess at tennis. The present generation will in addition cherish the memory of his frank and witty farewell speech to the School.

It may not be generally known that Mrs. Kurt once taught Biology at Drayton Manor and this gives us a double reason for wishing her and her husband every good fortune in the future.
