For many of the staff it presented an opportunity for discussion with the people concerned with the boys' immediate future on leaving school, and for the speakers in turn to present the difficulties they experience with the school leaver and the qualities and abilities they sought.
In a year in which unemployment is rising and many firms are becoming increasingly cost and profit conscious, the response to our invitation to take part in the convention was extremely good and it is with deep gratitude that we record below the names of those who participated and who by their concern for the boys' future and their advice made the convention such a success. Many speakers expressed their enthusiasm and support of conventions of this type and only wished they had existed in their younger days. They further expressed their willingness to help any boy individually in pursuing a career should the need arise, as well as participating in future conventions.
Finally, a big vote of thanks to the staff for their help in the organisation of such a week
and to the Kitchen staff for providing coffee, tea and biscuits.
