Joint Drama and
Opera Production
March 1953
This page
records and celebrates a unique happening in the history of Farnham’s two
Grammar Schools during the early post-war years! Thanks to the efforts and
cooperation of teachers at the two schools, there was a combined production of
drama and music at The Church House, Farnham.
Although
the individual schools staged other events in later years, that included pupils
from the other school, this seems to be the only combined event. There are many
possible explanations for the rather quaint policy of keeping the pupils
separated in this way, which applied over many years, but let it suffice to say
that it only succeeded in limiting the artistic contact that occurred between
the boys and the girls of the two schools.
