Inside cover of a school prize in 1959. Note, it is all in Latin and signed by the head, J.W. Ashley-Smith. A very professional gentleman of the times.

Does it say you did that you won the literary prize when you was fifteen Fred.

The only Latin I am able to translate is the date at the bottom. Anno x1x l1x must be 1959.

But the class and quality and high standards of the school made us all proud to be students there, no matter what we turned out to be in life, later on. We were the best.
