The School During WW2

by Don Adams (1939-45)

I joined COHS in September 1939. The school premises were shared: COHS in the morning and Clement Danes in the afternoon. We were set 3 hours homework. Sizzy announced the fall of France on a trip to Whipsnade Zoo. Morley would “drill” us on the tarmac.

Honorary Sixth: was I the only incumbent? I failed OSC in 1944 with 7 credits but no English. Head Badham called me last on listings. Passed in December, left at Easter.

Note from editor Mike Chew: I remember going for some lessons to a building opposite the National Canteen by Gloucester Green. On some Saturdays we went to St Hilda’s College in Cowley Place, by the Plain.
