THE GOLDONIAN

GOLDINGS PERSONALITIES


Mr. Herbert Jones

Many Goldings old boys will remember Mr. Herbert Jones who in the old days was known as an Order Master. For twenty-six years he gave loyal and devoted service to the school, having responsibility for control of the routine in the Ablutions and in the Dining Hall and also acting as School barber.

He arrived with the boys from Stepney when the School opened in 1922 and retired in 1948. Various were the tricks he had to put up with as many an old Goldonian will recollect and readily admit.

They will also remember a man who set high personal standards and carried out his duties conscientiously and with good humour. Mr. Jones died in the Hertford County Hospital on the 26th October, 1955 and is buried in the Churchyard at St. Michael and All Angels in Waterford Village by the School he served so well.
