[Christopher Fry edits, as 'A. H. Harris': the Birth of a Literary Career] Thirteen numbers (1-11, 16, 17) of the 'Bedford Modern School Gazette', with 'B.M.S. Gazette Supplement'.
Fourteen items, all 8vo. Seven numbers (4-9 and 16) are 16pp; number 17 is 26pp; other numbers range from 8 to 12pp, except for the 'B.M.S. Gazette Supplement' (30 March 1926) which has 4pp. The first five numbers on cheap newspaper stock; from the sixth number onwards the paper quality improves. Number 17 ('Special Christmas Number') has lost its back cover. The other thirteen numbers are complete. A frail survival, in fair overall condition, on aged and worn paper. Numbers 4-11 with 'Eagle' masthead, otherwise no settled layout. Becoming more professional as it proceeds, with advertisements to the later numbers. Numbers 1-8 are edited by 'A. H. Harris' (i.e. Fry), 9-11 by W. L. Davis; 16 and 17 by B. W. R. Mooring. The usual mishmash of school news ('Holiday Camp, 1928'), photographs, sports results and reports ('B.M.S. Regatta Victory. - The Winning Eight'), stories, cartoons and jokes, editorial. Fry's entry in the Oxford DNB says nothing of his school years, apart from the fact that he attended the school.
