There was little difference between dorms, let alone houses.  Here boys in Delamere typically congregate on beds, possibly of a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  The boys at the end of the dorm - in Mitchell at least - were responsible for ensuring the cupboard doors were shut before supper in the evenings and before morning inspections.  Blazers and long trousers were kept on the coat hangers - each boy had a drawer for all his other clothes. Hat are visible on the cupboard shelf dating the picture to before the arrival of Victor Laing in 1960 when hats were made optional for town wear and rapidly disappeared thereafter. - PHOTO Brett Langevad

Lower Junior to the left with the Junior Dining hall to the right.  Each house had its own dorm and Prefects were seconded from senior houses. The prefects were allowed bicycles and this looks like one of theirs.  The bungalow behind Lower Junior belonged to the Honourable Charles E Kitchener who was often to be found of an evening working in his garden.  - PHOTO Brett Langevad

Upper Junior taken from the Tuition Block Quad.  Between Upper Junior and Thomson Houses was the bungalow occupied by E K Fergusson who had a superb Great Western model railway in his garage.  On Sundays a small group of railway enthusiasts would sometimes congregate by the open doors to watch the proceedings.  - PHOTO Brett Langevad
