A SCHOOLBOYS’ prank at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, when the boys called forth the devil during a violent thunderstorm in the late 1700s, is one of the fascinating historical tales of the school which will be presented in book form to Her Majesty the Queen on her forthcoming visit next month. Two masters at the school, Mr Dudley


Green (51), of Itimington, the director of sixth-form studies, and Mr Keith Harwood (37), of Billington, the head of classics, have a brief two weeks to update an


original history they wrote in 1983. They will be producing an appendix of recent


history by headmaster Mr Clive Parley, featuring photographs of the school’s new complex by “Advertiser and Times” photographer John Barry. The finished volume will be hound in leather, in the school’s historical colour of blue, hut as yet there arc no plans to produce an edition for general sale. The Queen will be able to read that the devil was


vanquished by the then headmaster of the school, the Rev. Thomas Wilson, the parson who gave his name to the town’s Parson Lane. The story goes that the terrified boys found the


devil easier to raise than to lay and the Lord’s Prayer recited forwards and backwards did not help. It was only when Wilson appeared and ordered him to “knit knots out of a strike of sand” that he was frustrated and disappeared with a terrible scream through a crack in a hearthstone. Wilson, perhaps the school’s most famous head,


a brilliant teacher and a poet, appears in a list which also includes the infamous. Said Mr Harwood: “ In the period around 1600,


William Walbank was head and had his wages withheld for half a year by the governors, after being absent from the school on many occasions. He was seen in local ale houses and playing bowls with friends.” Mr Green explained that another head, John


Glazebrook, had been tried for murder in 1715. “What seems to have upset the governors was


the fact that they had to pay a solicitor 11 guineas to go and get his resignation. That was duly noted in the records and must have been a large sum in those days,” he said. The same John Glazcbrook must have been


acquitted, because he was later to marry in Waddington and become a Vicar in Northamp­ tonshire! The two masters have found that little changes


basically over the years. Said Mr Green: “Our records showed replace­


ment of windows broken by boys playing football in the 1600s . . . nothing changes!” Research for the original book turned up an old


biscuit tin in the school cellars, containing ancient, hand-tinted glass slides of previous boarders. Said Mr Harwood: “The school’s history is


fascinating and we are always on the look-out for interesting stories.”


ARTILLERY BAND


CALLING all former members of the Lanca­ shire Artillery! The troop’s volunteer hand is performing at a


special concert next Friday at St Mary the Virgin Church, Gisburu. It promises to be a popular event and has been

tickets, priced Si, can be obtained from members of the PCC and Mr E. Sedgwick, Newby Croft, Riming- ton (Gisburn >1*15574).

KEEP THIS FOR


WHEN people tell me that they have diffi­ culty in expressing themselves in prayer, 1 sometimes suggest they try finding suitable prayer hymns to meet their need. So many of our hymns are prayers set music. Note how


many have ‘Amen’ (so be it) at the end. These hymns are often reflections of faith, belief,


hope, longing and aspirations. Many contain great truths and inspired teaching. Even popular songs that remain in our memeory


long after reaching the top ten of their day have been known to express deep home truths. There was more than just a catchy tune to “Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree." Another song one can recall with feeling is “You always hurt the one you love.” It is true, too true, that we are apt to hurt the one we shouldn’t hurt at all, by our careless, off-hand foolish­ ness, or ill-considered words. I don’t know why we do it, unless it is just because


they happen to be nearest to us and get the brunt of our ill humour when something has upset us. It just is not good enough to treat those who love us in such a shabby way. We are guilty of this kind of conduct, too, with our


Heavenly Father. From our earliest days, He has cared for us with infinite patience and love, creating us for communion with Himself. He has provided us with all we need and we owe to Him all that we have and are, but too often we have ignored Him as if He did not exist. I f we had treated our earthly friends in this way, they Would probably have aban­ doned us in despair. God’s love never lets us go, but as another very old song used to say, “Keep right on to the end of the road,” and beyond. “Amazing Grace" has the distinction of being both a


hymn and a song. Perhaps it is better remembered for the melody,ras played by pipe and brass bands, but I do hope that many who learned the words were able to sing in sincerity, “ I once was lost, but now I ’m found, was blind, but now I see.”

Developing rural ideas of the young


A NATIONAL competition to encourage and develop young people’s rural business ideas has been launched — and with its strong farm­ ing community, the Kibble Valley could well produce the winner.

The judges will then

From the final 10, an
