107 CLUBS This year’s Greyhound committee determined to make this, our 17th edition, the biggest and best ever, in celebration of the College’s 90th year of existence. Filled with entertaining and satirical ar ticles, interviews and car toons, this edition did not disappoint. Long may the Greyhound continue to provide light-hearted relief for the boys on the hill. Paula Isaac Greyhound An enthusiastic group of boys, numbering between 15 and 20, met every alternate Thursday to view aspects of History that they would not read about or study at school. This year the adopted theme was “The History of the United States” and the club watched a series that the History Channel recently released, chronicling the history of that nation, using cutting edge CGI to bring the past to vivid life. The pioneering spirit of engineers, scientists, explorers and adventurers were all seamlessly fused with actual historical events to create a rich tapestry of American history, from the arrival of the first Pilgrims to the challenges facing the United States in the new millennium. My thanks are extended toThomas Rich who chaired the club as well as all the boys who attended the club meetings. Neil Peacock History Club Eventually about 40 boys attended regularly and the group had to be broken into two even squads. The sessions consisted of the boys playing matches against each other to hone their soccer skills, which proved useful for the third term outdoor season.
