Great article. But I am disappointed to learn that an old-boy "fix" the St Mary's clock.
One of the privileges of being in form 6 science, was going into the clock tower to wind the clock. We would wind the two weights once a week, one for the clock and one for the chimes, and make sure that the time was correct. Naturally, this 15 minute job would take over an hour and we would and look down upon and heckle passers-by on Frederick Street. I always found the workings of that old clock fascinating.

Knowing that there won't be a next generation of saints men who have clock tower stories is kind of sad.

 When they did the restoration of the Clock Tower in QRC they plaster over the walls leading up to the clock and a lot of history was covered up.

From the second landing old boys signatures, I remember putting my own next to Deryck Murray 

Pity they only fix de clock in that Gyul school on Frederick St

Great article...loved the bits of historical narrative provided for some context.  Of note though, it's awesome that they repaired the 'Cube shaped' clock in San Fernando (great job on that)...but I can't understand why the city of San Fernando didn't also send someone to also paint the white pillar-foundation the clock is sitting on.   

Sando...yuh lapsing!
