[ Barton-on-Humber Grammar School. ] Five printed items, comprising: 'A Memorial Tribute to H. Boulton the first Headmasterr, 1931-1944' (including a poem by Henry Treece) and four 'Prize Distribution' programmes.

The five items in fair condition, aged and worn. The 'Memorial Tribute' is 28pp., 8vo. Printed on shiny art paper, and stitched into blue printed wraps. An evocative production, with five pages of photographs, and 'Biographical Notes' followed by warm personal tributes from various individuals. These are of a high standard, particularly 'A Man of many Parts' by first assistant master W. G. Brice, and 'Do you remember?' by clerk to the governors Thomas S. Jackson. Also of interest is 'This was my Friend' by the school caretaker W. G. Todds. Of particular interest is 'Elegiac Song', a sixteen-line poem by 'Henry Treece, | Flight Lieutenant, R.A.F.V.R.', beginning 'A bird calls out from the garden, | Oh, the lilac will soon be in bloom!' The poem does not appear to have been reprinted by Treece. Scarce: no other copy traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. The four 'Prize Distribution' programmes, 1946-1949, are all 4pp., 12mo, in thick paper bifoliums, listing events and prize giving, and each with two poems or hynns on the back page.
