The Croydon Archives:
Timeline 1930/31 |
|
|
The archives make a point of not
storing artifacts - but luckily in one of the boxes (SCH63/13/22/)
there are some school caps from 1930/1.
They appear to be special in that two
of the three appear to bear the year date. The white one
(although it doesn't look very white in these photos) was worn by
the a member of the School Cricket Team. One of the school magazines
from the period states that this was the case. |
|
The other dated cap is in the more
traditional plain colours but states "A1931" - as can be seen in the
more detailed photograph. It is believed that this may have been
awarded for football or another sporting activity - although there
is no proof of this theory. Clearly there is also a plain cap for
the non-sporting boys.
The badges on the traditional caps are
made of metal with the school motto on them. Note the use of the
letter "v" in "Age qvod Agis" - instead of the later "u" - as was
conventional in those days. Better photographs will be obtained in
due course. |
