Published by the Board of Trustees, Wanganui Collegiate School, 2003. Good secondhand condition.

Founded in 1854 with a grant from Sir George Grey, between 1888-1909 it became the largest boarding school in the country. This book, with a wealth of anecdotes, reminiscences and illustrations, explores and puts in their historical context problems the school has faced and overcome, describes the contrasting personalities of headmasters and staff, and gives some idea of what it was like to be a boy (or, later, a girl) ta WCS between 1854 and 2003.
