Candidates for LSD!

Another interesting story from the past.

Saturday was ‘Scholars Day’ with Headmaster Allnutt proudly reminding all present that, with the exception of George Street Normal School, Kaikorai pupils had gained more scholarships than any other school in the Otago Education District. He further suggested a School Creed for the pupils, which they could memorise by the letters,

L, S, D, which in their school life stood for Love of the school, Sympathy between teacher and scholar, and a sense of Duty, which would help them in their work.

Fast forward fifty years and Allnutt’s successor would have had a hard road to push ‘LSD’ at the School’s Centenary in 1969! However, Allnutt concluded with a timeless, moving appeal for greater co-operation between parent, child, and teacher.
