David Hallam and Brian Smithurst have added more names to the faces.

The updated entry on the STAFF page now reads:

UPTON, John.Robert. B.Sc.(London) 1933-1942. Biology. Handicraft. b 18 April 1910, West Ham, Essex; d 1980, Yeovil, Somerset. To Head, Farnham County Secondary School. Author of The Microscope: Its Construction and Its Use in Biology (John Murray 1937).

I came across more information on Upton. I strongly suspect he made the model of a viper’s jaw showing how the fang is erected which in my time was in the biology library (on top of the bookcase). I then found he had written a book on use of the microscope while a member of staff. The only copy I have found is for sale in Australia but the blurb reads: The book was designed to provide the reader with the information necessary to use a microscope in a biological laboratory or classroom. It was intended for teachers with no academic training in biology who found themselves required to teach the subject in their schools.
