Lindsay Simon Copleston

We were deeply shocked to hear of the death of

Lindsay Copleston on September 30th, 1976.

Lindsay came to the school from Barrow Grammar

School, with an excellent report from his

Headmaster, at the end of 1972 when he was in

the fourth form, and soon established his

reputation as an intelligent and cheerful young

man. His friends speak most warmly of his sunny

disposition and of his willingness to smile and

make others happy, even when the plague of ill-

health afflicted him. His teachers were impressed

by his positive attitude to life, his great sense

of humour and even temperament. He was a balanced and sensible person, independent but popular. He is sorely missed by his many friends and mourned by the whole school.
