Fourth Form prize

The OHA is pleased to announce the donation of a prize of £20 in book tokens to the best Fourth Form project based on the life of a Hodgsonite who left the school and died during the First World War. The project will then be placed on the 'History' section of this site as an archival record. We are grateful to Catherine Smith & Margaret Mardell, archivists, for their assistance in this project. Upon advice from the school it was decided that the prize be also open to non-Hodgsonites who may have chosen the life of a Hodgsonite as their subject.

Kind regards to you all,

Anthony Lipmann ('75), Chairman
