Please Remember

tree BY TONY LEARY, WEBBER-DOUGLAS STUDENT 1961-1963
I remember Anthony Cornish arriving at Webber-Douglas like a breath of fresh air. He had a way of getting the best-and sometimes better-out of everybody and he was held in the greatest respect by the whole of our class.

Particularly memorable for us were his productions of Salad Days, Easter 1963, (Webber-Douglas's first musical), and our Press Show Celebration the following term. I also enjoyed the radio work he gave me later.

One of my favourite pieces of direction came from 'Mr. Cornish': "It's only a suggestion, but please remember who suggested it"! Gentle, kind, but with a firm authority that you could trust absolutely.

He will be missed.
