EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from 1963, we see a group of Newcastle students rolling out the barrel around Grey's Monument as part of their Rag Week effort. This annual event was filled with laughter, fun, and a sense of camaraderie among the students. The three individuals in the photograph are all donning gowns, symbolizing their commitment to education and charity. Their smiling faces reflect the joy they experienced during this memorable occasion. The unknown age adds an element of mystery to the image, leaving us wondering about the stories behind these young people. One student had quite a turn inside the barrel and shared his experience afterwards. His comment perfectly captures the lightheartedness and humor that characterized Rag Week activities. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents a tradition that has brought generations of Newcastle students together for charitable causes. It serves as a reminder of how simple acts can bring immense joy and create lasting memories. As we admire this vintage photograph by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, it is impossible not to feel nostalgic for times when such innocent fun could be enjoyed without commercial motives.
