OVs Here, There and Everywere: 1974 - Part 2
John Arthur (1961—1968), a former general editor of “The Victorian” and Head Prefect in his last year, is studying at Warwick and has been in the process of submitting his MA. Thesis and of beginning work on a‘ Ph.D., both on aspects of French drama. Last year he married Hilary, sister of Christopher Guille-Marrett (1954—1960), one-time Captain of Shooting and Fencing, and, as they live only a few miles apart, they see each other quite frequently.
Occasionally they meet up with Stephen Woodward (1961—1967), winner in his last year of the Kenneth More Prize for Drama. Starting as an assistant manager with Centre Hotels in 1972, Woodward progressed through statistics and control at head office to become an audit controller. Since last September, he has been restaurant manager at the group’s Airport Hotel which, he writes, is most convenient as Heathrow is only about 15 minutes drive from his house in Middlesex.
Selected to act as a footman and under-butler at Princess Anne’s wedding celebrations, John Gamlin (1965-69 and 1970-71) has completed his two-year catering course at Thanet Technical College and is now taking a one-year course to obtain his diploma in hotel management.
At College from 1920 to 1924, W. E. Scott, though a Life Member, had been “lost ” to the O.V.A. for some 12 years until contact was re-established recently. Now living in Renmark, South Australia, he is planning to visit the Island with his wife this summer for the first time for 39 years.
Allan Bransbury (1954—1959), who was awarded the Barreau Art Studentship shortly before leaving and studied at the West of England College of Art and at the University of London Institute of Education, has achieved the distinction of having a film of his work allocated a week of showings at the Tate Gallery.
Senior Lecturer in Art and Design at the Stockwell College of Education at Bromley, Kent, he was responsible for the wall sculpture of the Madonna and Child at the new Convent F.C.J. school at St. Saviour and the film, “Form in the Making ”, is the story of its production.
Nigel T. C. Renouf (1960—1966), having previously completed a three-year contract with a hotel group on Kenya and Tanzania, has recently been appointed resident manager at the Coral Beach Club, Paget, Bermuda’s leading hotel.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Jonathon Osmont has qualified as a doctor, having obtained his Bachelor of Medicine degree at London University. His father is, of course, Dr. R. L. Osmont, currently a member of Council, and both trained at the same hospital, St. Bartholomew’s. Jonathon, married to a qualified nurse, is practising at a hospital in Ulster.
Another O.V. in the medical profession is Dr. Terence Marshall, who left in 1962 to begin his professional studies at Sheffield University. Now on the staff of Stoke Royal Infirmary, he has become a Member of the. Royal College of Pathologists. Known at school as Tezry, he was of course, Captain of the Shooting VIII which won the Ashburton Shield in 1961.
Three Old Victorians have been successful in the examinations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Hugh Alan Le Vavasseur dit Durell has passed his Part I final and was one of three brothers at College. James Colclough (1961—1966) and J. J. C. Nugent (1958—1964) succeeded in their Part III finals.
Mark Boleat, at College from 1960 and later at Reading University, where he gained his M.A. in Economics, has had a number of specialist articles accepted for publication. The son of Paul, President of the O.V.A. in 1966 and ’67, he was selected to stand as a Conservative candidate in the elections for Westminster City Council in May but, at the time of going to press, the outcome is not known. Having worked as a teacher at Dulwich College and as an economist with the Industrial Policy Group, he is now an executive with a trade association in London.
Leaving College in 1966, Alan Webb worked with Marconi Space Systems before entering Pembroke College, Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1970 with a 1st Class Honours degree in electrical sciences. He then returned to Marconi, working in the satellite communications division, and then joined the British Post Office as an executive engineer. Now, he is with the European Space Research Organisation, based in the Netherlands, working on the development of a communications satellite for use by ships at sea.
The only professional institute concerned with careers guidance in schools, the Institute of Careers Officers in Southampton, has as its president Vyvyan Ahier (1924—1930). First a clerk and later secretary of Voisin and Co., he served with the Royal Artillery during the Second World War and then trained in youth work. He worked in the youth employment service in Surrey and then in the Bexhill area for several years before moving to Southampton in 1959. Author of several articles published in various educational and vocational guidance journals, he was granted in 1970 an award as the UK delegate for a Council of Europe Social Research Fellowship.
The ranks of Old Victorians have once again helped to fill vacancies on the Jurats Bench of the Royal Court. H. H. (“Skin ”) Le Quesne, whose brother was at College and whose two O.V. sons now serve on Council, was sworn in in January to replace another O.V., Jurat R. D. Lloyd, who had died. Jurat Le Quesne (1922—1929) has now passed the major part of the running of the family pharmaceutical business to younger son Graeme while Edward is on the College staff as Head of Science.
