A highly talented all-round sportsman, Harry was Captain of my House at Leyton County High School and later School Captain in 1950-51. I remember he won six events, three track, three field at the school sports in 1947. He was a role model to everyone of us, remaining totally unaffected by any of the many successes he enjoyed across every aspect of school life. He was particularly noted for his courteous manner and his ability to communicate with boys of all ages and backgrounds. He was a stalwart member of the School Dramatic Society and in his final year, earned much praise for a noteworthy performance as Othello. After leaving school to study architecture, he was invited to join a school party which toured Germany with Macbeth in August 1952. Besides playing an acting role, he rendered invaluable assistance behind the scenes in the organisation which enabled 23 full-length performances of the play in less than a month. I deeply regret that I never met Harry after leaving LCHS in 1955 but I heard regularly through mutual friends of his successes during his career. I was deeply impressed to learn that he had rendered great service to the housing associaation movement, particulary so, because I served for 20 years on the board of a housing association in the Midlands.
