Mr Frank Wright, for 12 years deputy headmaster of Trinity High School, Northampton, retired from the school staff today, having been associated with the school for 35 years.
At a special presentation before the assembled school after
prayers today, Mr. Wright received some long playing records and
a folding sun-lounger beach chair, which were a gift from the
pupils. Last night teaching colleagues presented him with a
record player.
Making today's presentation head boy, Trevor Crane said that
every member of the school admired Mr. Wright's honesty,
integrity and sense of justice.
Mr. Wright told pupils that he had taught many of their
relatives - parents, uncles and aunts - and he was always
thrilled when he met former pupils. He said he could fairly
claim that he had done his best for the school, and it was
wonderful to see how the spirit of the school had developed
since he had been there.
The Headmaster, Mr. B. S. Howard, said that as Mr. Wright would
continue part time teaching; the school need feel no sense of
permanent loss.
