Our museum boasts quite a collection of desks that were engraved by students. Over the next period we hope to feature some photos of these desks and hope they evoke some memories for either the engravers or students of those eras. The first features the late Niel Wales (1940-45) admiring his handiwork, along with Jim Dowell (1946-50) and John Fairmaid (1945-49).
