Staff of KES from 1905

(a) From 1905-1955

(b) From 1947-1968

The Staff, 1905-1955 [KES Magazine, Summer 55]

THE following are the names of the men and women who were members of the Staff for three or more years. Many long records will be noticed, and only considerations of space have necessitated the omission of several short-stayers, whose services (especially during the abnormal conditions of the war periods) will be none the less gratefully remembered by the particular generations of Edwardians whom they taught. The list does not include members still present on the Staff [in Summer 55].
