STAFF CHANGES - from Phoenix 68 [published November 1968]

Since the last edition of Phoenix a great many staff changes have taken place. Miss Fine has retired and Miss Cracknell has taken her place as Senior Mistress. Mr. Behmber has retired after thirty- six years service to the school.

Last October Mrs. Crewe left us to join her husband in Khartoum where he has taken up a university appointment. She was replaced by Mrs. Germaine.

At Christmas Mr. Curtis, who for five years was the editor of Phoenix, left to become the head of the English department at Featherstone Secondary School, Southall. His place was taken by Mrs. Glover. Mr. Farrow also left us at Christmas to take up an appointment at Witney Technical College and in his place we welcomed Miss Williams.

Mr. Westbrook left in February in order to devote his time to composing and playing jazz and he was replaced temporarily by Mrs. Farrell. Mr. Clarke took up the permanent post at the beginning of the summer term.

At the end of the summer term we said goodbye not only to Miss Fine and Mr. Behmber, but also to Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Germaine, Mrs. Loewe and Mr. Dennis, a visitor from Australia, who taught Latin during Miss Fine’s absence in the summer term.

This term we have welcomed three full-time members of staff: Miss Williamson (English); Mr. Muller (Maths); and Mr. Mulliner (Maths). We have also welcomed three part-time members of staff: Mrs. Fookes (French and English); Mrs. Grubb (Latin); and Mrs. Sosobowska (English).
