ALLEYN’S ALUMNUS A HOLLYWOOD STAR AND A WAR-TIME SECRET AGENT
New research claims that Leslie Howard (Tulley's, 1907-10), best known for his role as Ashley Wilkes in 'Gone with the Wind', was a British secret agent who died returning from a clandestine war mission in 1943. Jose Rey-Ximena says that Howard, who was in a passenger aircraft show down by the Luftwaffe in 1943, had just been to a secret meeting with General Franco, allegedly on a special mission for Winston Churchill, who wanted to get a secret message to the Spanish dictator.

JACK PENATE IN DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY EXHIBITION
 09 September 2008 - 18 January 2009 Jack Penate (Spurgeon's, left 2003) has contributed a piece to the Dulwich Picture Gallery's exhibition 'What Are You Like? Self-Revealing Portraits by 45 People In The Public Eye'.
A collaboration between The House of Illustration and Dulwich Picture Gallery brings together an eclectic group of public figures, each contributing a 'self-portrait' composed of their favourite things. The idea is taken from a Victorian game of describing yourself with images of your favourite things: like a self-portrait. Forty-five people in the public eye have been asked to illustrate their eight favourite things from a list of 12 – their favourite animal, book, clothes, comfort, food, pastime, place, possession, music, shoes, weather and pet aversion (the thing they love to hate!)
Other contributors include Quentin Blake, Andrew Marr, Brian Eno, David Adjaye, David Shrigley, Donald Urquhart, Eric Clapton, Lauren Child.

REUNION AT THE OVAL FOR OLD TIMERS
 11 September 2008 John Williams (Roper's, 1943-49) and Micky Stewart (Tulley's, 1944-51) have decided it is high time - before it is too late - that the older members, i.e. those who left Alleyn's between 1945-55, had a get together at the Oval. As John says, 'It will probably be the last chance for a meeting of this age group to get together so we hope everyone will make an effort to attend'. The reunion took place on Thursday 11 September and to see more photos of the day's proceedings, visit the gallery below (bottom right of home page).
To see a list of those who attended, see 'Full story'.
