Welcome

Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

New Guv's Test again

I gather from the General Secretary that there has been some interest in the New Guv's Test to the extent that someone has been in touch to ask for a copy. Sadly there is no such thing extant, and possibly there never was as it seems to have been a Haileybury institution differently administered in each House.
Haileybury Masters by RB Payton (Hi 1922):
HB Dawes; WR Lloyd; CW Adams; RF Atherton

Some people have said that their recollection is that the test was administered by the Head of House or a Prefect. I am pretty sure we went to the House Master. The questions would have been different in different places as well I guess.

In an email, Gerald Wilson (M 1962) remembered that there were some straightforward factual questions in the New Guv's test "like where is the KBM block, where was the White City (just destroyed at that point in time) and which study block was which."

He has another of the more tricky ones which I had forgotten or did not know:

How many Masters are there at Haileybury?

Answer tomorrow.
