WAR MEMORIAL SWIMMING BATH

R. Townley Johnson (WHSOBU President 1955) writes in his President's Letter in the School Magazine of the same year:

'Other friends and Old Boys generously presented a Pavilion Clock, and to them ... our sincere thanks are tendered.

'We may assist in many ways at the old Alma Mater, and I am delighted to report on the efforts which have produced progress during my year of office, and tender my gratitude to all for their assistance.

'Our Service Roll containing the 1939-45 War records will soon accompany the 1914-18 one already in Assembly Hall.

'In conclusion, may I say how good it is, at the time of writing, to see our War Memorial Swimming Bath at last in the course of construction. This project is worthy of solemn mention. It serves to perpetuate the memory of our Glorious Dead. It will commemorate their noble sacrifice, and is our humble tribute to their memory.

'As a tangible presentation may it remain for scholars at Wynberg Boys' High School a contribution to their healthy and pleasurable life at our School.'
