STAFF CHANGES - from Phoenix 1970-71 [undated - assumed post-October 1970]

1970 was a significant year for Drayton Manor: at the end of the summer term Dr. Evans retired after twenty years as headmaster. We wish Dr. Evans well in his retirement.

We also said goodbye to Mr. Herrera who for so many years had been in charge of music at Drayton Manor.

There were also a number of other staff changes. Mrs King left at Easter to go to Thailand where her husband will be working for several years. She was replaced, for the summer term by Mr. Rogers. Mr. Arm left to become head of the French department at Thames Valley Grammar School. Mrs. Shipley left us to move to Yorkshire where she has taken up another appointment. Mrs. Cleary left in order to devote her time to her family and Mrs. Poyser left to move to Chile with her husband.

It now remains for us to extend a warm welcome to our new headmaster, Mr. C. J. Everest.
