For too long we have been known by many as "the day pupils atWymondham College," but now schools in the area are having to recognise thepresence of "The County Grammar School" . Academically, dramatically, on thesports field, or in inter-school competitions we have this year shown our worth morethan ever before .Looking first at the academic side of the school, our record here is adequatelydemonstrated by the following statistics . Last year there were 24 pupils in the uppersixth form of whom 50 per cent went to training college or university and this year64 per cent of a total of 33 pupils hope to do the same .Turning to our dramatic achievements, the school play this year deservesa special mention, not because those responsible for this magazine were very muchinvolved, but because it was undoubtedly the most outstanding production theschool has ever presented . The Press and all who saw it praised the high standard ofindividual performances, and of the production as a whole .About a quarter of the pupils in the school were involved, either on stage,behind the scenes, or in the preparation . Particular credit is due to Mr . Miller whothrough his hard work and guidance enabled so much to be achieved .Not only do we put on a school play each year, but we also have a flourishingdrama group who have been asked to perform unrehearsed improvisations at theEducation Festival in Norwich this summer .
