Scadding Exhibition
15th September, 2001
A
first for the OC Society and very worthwhile: a number of OCs who had not been
back to the school, in some cases, for ages gave this effort much support. There
was no doubt (if ever there had been) that many OCs had the very highest opinion
of the contribution Scad' made to their schooldays. 50 + pictures were brought
as proof of the high esteem many of us have of his paintings, but what was so
clear amongst all reminiscing, was that Scad' the man was just as highly
regarded. A very real bonus on the day was the presence, not only of Scad's
grand nephew and his wife , but also of two great grand-nephews and a
grand-niece, two of whom are pupils at Clayesmore Prep School!
This exhibition has also inspired John Eveleigh and David Koster to propose a
most worthy project to
recognise Scadding's enormous contribution to Clayesmore. They have both donated
pictures for 'silent auction' to start off a proposed Scadding Prize fund (more
details of this project are elsewhere in this Newsletter). Tony Hart has sent
two 'Hartoons' of Scad & Apples which we are auctioning for the fund. The
pictures and the 'Hartoons' are illustrated in this newsletter. We have also
been given a fine Scadding oil painting by John Gould - a picture Scad' had
given to Jos and Toss and they had passed on to John. This is also for sale and
is illustrated on the front of this Newsletter.
