The members recognized that students had differing needs and interests which the school might try to meet...
...JOURNAL (shown on Mondays). "Eton." A tour of England's prestigious prep school allows the visitor to mingle with the collared-and-gowned boys, visit rowing and cricket practice, attend a debate on North Viet Nam, assess the old customs and the new look in curriculum...
