' ■ The choice of Mr, Hother­

with a special interest in the school as a father of one of the present boys.


Mr. Hothersall, who was at


the school between 1926 and 1931, was, said Mr. Rushton, a past president of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe and had done' signal work In the community life of the town and district. This year, he was chairman of the Rotary Club’s Community Service Committee.


The new president brqught


to his office all, the qualities which would efiable him to' fulfil his" task conscientiously


Mr.'Rushtonalso took the,


opportunity to refer to the indisposition of .Mrs. Bother-,

that she had now arrived, home from hospital. They all wished her a ' speedy return to health, and - the good news that she was Improving might be a happy -augury for the year that lay ahead.


I t -was their ■ wish that Mr.


Hothfrsall might be spared any further anxieties, on that account.


“On your behalf, I wish'


him health and happiness In his presidential year! • and.| success in maintaining the well-being of the Association in this, the 36th year of its existence, and its close links with the school.”


’ The, president responded


In a witty '■and amusing address.


STRONG LINK There had, fie said, always


been a strong' link between the school and the old boys


Proposing the toast “The


School,’' Mr. Bibby said an old foundation li k e Clitheroe Royal .Grammar School did


not rely for its reputation solely on the, academic suc­


cesses of-lts pupils.. Its chief function had


always be to the training of character and integrity, the making of good citizens and


the fostering of a spirit^ pf “ belopglni” ■


. " And how, many , of us who attended ,tile,-schpol can ever repay i t for the pride It haa given us to the town and j t s traditions and In the mem­ ories It has'left us-with? For

■ hope it will be possible to re­ tain the spirit, traditions and


1' character of these old founda­ tions.


“So far as I am con­


cerned, wherever I go 1 shall be eternally grateful for the opportunity I had of attend­ ing Clitheroe G r a m m a r School. I hope that hpweyer big It grows, and however large may be the area frona which It draws Its pupils, tlie


boys who come here will always have cause to be proud of the fact.


*


“ I. hope, also, that the school will continue to


'flourish for centuries more.” Mr. Blbby coupled with the


school the name of the headmaster, Mr. Hood. He was sure they had in him a headmastef of the same mould as his predecessors.


A PLEDGE “ To kr. Hood aijd his staff,


I extend best wishes from all old boys . and: pledge our willing co-operation in any­ thing for which he may feel we have a use. For it Is our sincerest wish th a t under him- the school may hold-its high position In the town, and hi the affection and esteem of Its old boys.”
