At Easter we said good-bye to Mr. Joy who retired as Schoolkeeper after nearly twenty-five years' service to Drayton Manor.

He will be remembered by staff and pupils alike for his competent and devoted service, not only to the care and maintenance of the school but also as the last line of defence in many staff versus pupils' hockey matches.

Mr. Joy's main hobby is indoor and outdoor bowling at which he is a very experienced player, but I am sure he would be the first to admit that his wife is equally as good if not better.

Now that they have at last found suitable accommodation which is near their bowling club, we wish them both an enjoyable, long and happy retirement.

T. H.
