| Twenty-nine editions of the school magazine, 'the Wheel' were
published, usually every other term, between 1952 and 1972.
The first six editions were printed professionally. Then from number
7, Christmas 1956, to number "XVI", Christmas 1962, the
magazines were produced by the commerce department. No mean feat
with up to 58 pages typed up and around 150 copies to be duplicated, collated and bound.
From number 17, summer 1963, the job was handed back to the
professionals, the importance of the magazine being considered worthy of the
expense. And, indeed important it was, recording, at first hand events
in school, sports, dramatic productions, and out of school trips, home and
abroad. There were also the original contributions by pupils in both prose
and poetry. Little did the contributors realise that they were
recording history and producing a very valuable resource when it came to
gathering data for 'A Short History'.
