EASTWARD HO!

Eastward Ho school was evacuated  to Hill House, Stowmarket from Felixstowe during the First World War but remained there until it closed about 1925 . This photo of 1922 may have been taken at the end of term judging from the happy faces of the girls! The girls in the front seated row seem to be holding objects that show the various subjects taught - tennis racket, hockey stick, loaf of bread & musical instruments. The reverse of the postcard on which this photo appears is signed by various members of the staff, the names I can read are as follows - G. MacArthur - orderly, Fran Robinson - "Grub", Doris E. Read - singsong, Kathleen M. Johnson - cycling, Constance N. Chandler - ass: orderly,  B. Marian Smyth - chaplain, M. E. Millburn - Ass. Adj: -
