Report continued ……. For Hearth and Home II I would like to thank all the Old Boys Branch chairmen and their committees for embracing the 150th year last year. It was great to travel to most of the branches and enjoy dinner with many old boys out there. The time you guys apply to keeping the old boys out there in check is much appreciated by us in the office, it makes the ladies’ task much easier. Thank you all for your continued support of our Association and indirectly the School. I am very proud to be able to represent the many Old Boys out there who care and continuously keep College at the forefront of their agenda’s. I wish you all well for the rest of 2014, and look forward to all of you all helping to grow our membership in particular over the next year. Thank you. KEVIN TRODD (1986) President I’m busy with the update of the College history. Although “For Hearth and Home” ended in 1988, it was for reasons of diplomacy rather thin on the Forde years. In consequence, the new book will start in 1986 and go right up to the present. I obviously want to produce a book that is not simply a dry record of events; consequently I need your stories – things you remember about your years at College – interesting characters, fun anecdotes etc. It’s time to share some of your memories – the statute of limitation has run out!
