First edition of The Maroon – 1937!
January 23, 2012 in Down Memory Lane, School Memorabilia
We were contacted by the grand-daughter of an old boy of the school, Ralph Martyn, who attended in the 1930s. She asked if we could locate a copy of the old school magazine from the 1930s for him to purchase or view. Denis Jarrett, another old boy of the school and former editor of the Maroon, was asked to identify a suitable copy from his own personal archives. He has kindly lent me his copy of the very first edition of the Maroon, the former publication of the Old Bordenian Association, published in 1937 – some 75 years ago. Rather than share this with just one old boy, we have scanned the document and it is reproduced in its entirety below – just click on each link to open the next 2 pages. It makes fascinating reading!

Thank you so much for doing this – wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a complete online archive of the Maroon and the Bordenian? – stored somewhere where we wouldn’t worry about merging the pages to have a single 30M file per issue.

Yes, but unfortunately the current hosting restriction of 2mb per document / image doesn’t allow it!
