On the occasion of General Dalton’s 80th birthday all the children of Grewelthorpe school had the honour of being invited to tea at The Hutts. General & Mrs Dalton accompanied by Colonel Mrs Howard Vyse. and their grandson Master Howard Vyse received their little guests on the terrace.
Here William Stelling. senior boy of the school, on behalf of his school fellows, presented to the General a Wahl Eversharp pencil with their best wishes. Tea was served on the terrace, with tables daintily decorated with sweet peas. Each guest wore their sweet peas and at the invitation of the General a group photo was taken.
