Andrew Robert Hope, 1950-1967
Andrew Hope died barely a week before he was due to return to School for his first term in the VIth Form, and shortly after returning from a holiday at the coast with his family.
He came to Falcon in 1964 from St. Francis’ College, Kitwe, and entered George Grey House. Academically he was extremely promising, and he achieved distinguished results in the recent “O” level examinations.
He was quiet and modest by nature, and he had many friends and wide interests. His tragic death at the age of 16 seems to underline the sense of waste that so much promise should remain unfulfilled.
To the parents and family of this young man we extend our very deepest sympathy.
