In consequence of the new Masters not being Old Westminsters and having so many things to learn about the school there was no Latin play this Xmas and as myself and Turle (a home boarder) were the only Sixth TBB. of course no dinner could be held. C F L West
I wished very much that the Sixth Dinner should not be forgotten, & therefore proposed that it should be held as nearly as usual as circumstances would permit which was agreed to. It was held on the 2d Play Night Decr 12th /44 at Gingers. Six Town Boys only attended. And although I fear it…
