Deaths Philip Henry Hind We were stunned by the sudden and tragic death of Philip Hind (25-30) in an air-crash on the morning of Monday, March 8th. Only two days before he had sat through the swimming Gala, cheering on his sons, and radiating the friendliness which had always been one of his greatest characteristics. As a boy at school he had shown gaiety of spirit, and his high-pitched laugh used to echo ceaselessly round the Old School premises. The high regard in which he was even then held led to his being awarded the Good Comradeship Medal. 40
