1931 to 1940, eighteen; and from 1941
to 1952, seventeen. The decline of
university graduates in the last two
decades of the school’s existence
coincided with the closing of the mines
and the exodus of mining people. The
lack of emphasis may have been
economic, insufficient incentive or
parental encouragement, or the
opening of a variety of occupations not
requiring a university diploma.

MY SERVICE STAR
I went to the rainbow’s end and wrought
The gold into smiles for you
And out of an aching heart, they caught
My tears, like drops of dew.
The sunshine melted the smiles and the tears
The moonbeams sent them afar;
And their light undimmed by the waiting years
Shines in our service star.
