EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1963, Sandra Leamer and Jim Brown proudly showcase their speedboat "Minx" to none other than Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The teenagers hail from Newton-le-Willows, a town in Liverpool, and attend the esteemed Newton-le-Willows County Secondary School. The photograph captures a momentous occasion where pupils of the school have built this impressive vessel as part of their education. It stands as a testament to the dedication and skill nurtured within the walls of this educational institution. Sandra and Jim beam with pride as they present "Minx" to Prince Philip during his royal visit on June 14th. Their excitement is palpable, reflecting not only their personal achievement but also symbolizing the collective success of their classmates. This snapshot encapsulates an era when hands-on learning was highly valued, showcasing how practical skills were cultivated alongside traditional academics. The boat represents more than just a means for leisure; it embodies the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship instilled in these young minds. As we delve into this piece from Memory Lane Prints by Wright, we are transported back to a time when education went beyond textbooks and exams. It reminds us that true knowledge encompasses both theory and practice – an invaluable lesson that resonates even today.
