To help the war effort and to make up for the shortage of farm labour some of the older pupils, most awaiting their call-ups, volunteered to give up some of their holidays to
pick fruit and vegetables. This photograph shows such a group with Dr. Walter Stanton, the Music Master, standing on the far left; almost all of this group would be in
uniform by year end.
