This Towers School Clothing List was supplied to Jose Mawson’s mother prior to her attending the school; it makes interesting reading. Included in the list is the bedding pupils would need for boarding. Jose Mawson, was a pupil at the Towers from 1937 to 1941, and was there when the school was evacuated to Rusland Hall in 1940. She remembers that they used to have different colour exercise books for different subjects. Her daughter Amanda Stobbs tells us: “ I remember being given a much larger red one to draw in when I was a small child. Don’t know what became of it, though. One blue backed book still survives because my mother used the spare pages to record her wedding presents! The gold logo on the front is quite spectacular compared to nowadays – also the fact that it’s hard-back.”
