Coming back to the College after 50 years on Sunday 19th May, were 20 leavers from 1970-1975. And Malvern did not disappoint: what a treat to enjoy perfect sunny weather and a view of a cricket festival on the Senior from the comfort of the Lyall Foyer at the Rogers Theatre. All in the company of fellow OMs from the same era; the Headmaster, Keith Metcalfe; OM Ambassadors, Richard Thurlow and Fiona Packham; College Prefects and members of the Malvernian Society team, Suzy Leeke, Alexandra Albright, Julie Caro and Abbie Elliston.
Guests heard from the Headmaster with news of the school’s plans and from College Prefect, Lena Unterkofler, about school life today. The most obvious difference being that 50 years ago, there were no girls at the school. There was plenty of time to enjoy flicking through old black and white photo albums and to enjoy tours which included a real trip down Memory Lane as OMs returned to their old Houses.
But perhaps the highlight of the day came when William Todd (3.70-75) returned an old library book to the Headmaster. We are still working out the fine and he can expect an invoice!
