The Resonian

The Resonian was a magazine produced by the boys of the old Richards Endowed School in the late 1920s and early 1930s of which a few copies still survive. Considering that it was produced by pupils at a small village school in an age before digitization its surprising how well it stands up in comparison with what could be done today in terms of literacy and the standard of print. The one area of course, where such a publication is lacking is in the use of illustration, but not all modern publications are aided by the use of ditigized graphics. The Resonian stands as a trbute to the dedication of the teaching staff of the day and to the undubted talent of many of the pupils. You wonder how much of the printed output of schools today will still stand up to scrutiny in eighty years time.
