1948 Yearbook
The North Point School Annual (Year Book) ~ 1948
Remembering NP 60 years later.
Douglas and Sally Stewart (Australia) have a copy of the 1948 School Year Book.
John Kingsley took up Sally's kind offer to make copies of various pages of this
treasured souvenir. A few have been posted here which will be of great interest to
all ex-North Pointers. More will follow as time permits.

The Hailstorm
(photo and comments sent by Radley Pereira)
This photo is of the taxi rank outside the school gates taken after a hailstorm
we had on 24 March 1948. About 4 or 5 of us were walking back along the top
road and had to run for cover in the little shelter by the bungalows. The hail stones
were about the size of glass marbles and hurt like hell. Imagine the racket on the
tin roof as well. Lasted at least 15 minutes or more.
Comment from Edmund Jonah (NP '51) : Those pictures of NP with the hail, I sent to Radley Pereira,
God rest his soul. Typical of him to take the credit. I miss the old curmudgeon.
