Tuesday 7th May 1968

9.30 p.m.

            The housemaster told us two things at house assembly.  Firstly: Boys can have [sic] girls in their studies if they ask for permission, in fact it is encouraged, but those who do not ask for permission first will not be tolerated.  Secondly: A draft plan to reorganise House is being formed and a committee of boys has been set up to consider the housemaster's proposals.

            I spent the afternoon "organising" the [...] Railway Preservation Society as a commercial tourist-trade network of lines, instead of working, so I haven't time to write much.  It rained a lot today; I should have scored for a Thirds cricket match, but it was called off.  I got some money from the post office (out of my PO book) and bought a tin of bean and bacon soup, a tin of baked beans, a tin of Nesquik and a Walls’ steak pie.  The new Mace supermarket, which opened last Friday, is rather brash and hygienic -- canned music with canned goods.
