A Grammar; School has celebrated its fourth centenary was the commemoration dinner: attended by 120 old boys and their guests at theiStarkie Arms Hotel on Friday night,


wlien former pupils returned to Clitheroe from many parts o f


the country for one!of the most successful and repre-


sehtative reunions in the history of the Old Chtheronians Association. Many generations of old boys represented at the gatheringi included men who were at the school over seventy years 'ago and-others attending one of their first functions as old boys smee leaving the school a year ago.

from one of the first ors lOf the schbol, menUoned that{ jhis - father. Sir RalPlJ Assheton, was [ chairman of the!governors for many years,


hls| mother, tfie late Lady A^heton, hadj also been a govknor, and nis'son had at-


;endeti the school. Mr. Assheton; said he had


been interested'to read In the


the bra fair ker of


brochure published during quater-centenary cele-


-ions, the iWords of ‘ he ous historian. Dr. Whlfa- of- Whallej^, who, writing


01 ihe school more than 100 yea -s ago, had said This is o n ^ o f the few foundations


which in the; present rage for commercial innovation,


has been able :in any degree to preserve its | original char­ acter as a classical seminary.


Mr Asshetori recalled that


In the latter days of the 19th century the school very near­ ly became a technical college. The fact that It had been able to preserve its old traditions was ■ a very great-^ thing for the school and for Clith­ eroe. Technical c o l l e g e s served a useful purpose but they were not the same thing as grammar schools. ;


• “Education' is not just a matter of ! accumulating knowledge; it involves the formation of character and the possession of method,’’ Mr. Assheton went on. “I truly b e l i e v e that the niasters of this school have striven for, and achieved, this object.’.’


Commeijting on the many


changes' In the life of the school during ; the past half- century; Mr. : Assheton said that when MrJ C. M. Hender­

son, who was held In such high regard and esteem by so many, took over the school, there was a total membership of I only 30 boys. Now, the numbers had; risen to 330. Many would say that quantity

evening had proved a memor­ able feature of a memorable


fortnight, in the life of a school a b o u n d i n g with vitality and a cheerful enjoy­ ment of life.

Mr. Assheton said he had


been' at considerable pains to find out what kind of reputa­ tion the school possessed, and he had made Inquiries at Ox­ ford and Cambridge and In


other quarters. He was gratl-


’fled to discover that the reputation of the school was very high.


“The school,hafiia fine rep­
