Paul Murray who taught at St John's College and Bishops has always remained passionate about running societies at school.  He himself benefited from the societies that he was a member of, when at school.  When he came to Bishops Michael F B Fisher handed him Lingua Franca, Forum and Paul at the insistence of Michael subsequently founded the Historical bench.  Recently, Paul was going through some of the earlier magazines in the Archivesand reading up on the  activities in Societies when he came across a number of Society reports of which Raymond was a member.  This prompted Paul to ask Raymond some questions about some of his extra-mural interests and involvement in these activities whilst he was a student at Bishops in the forties.  One of Raymond’s strong recollections was the Night School.  Raymond explained this to Paul, and told him of the reports that he had written up for the magazine.  The Night School was an initiative to provide teaching to the support staff at Bishops twice a week.  Raymond filed reports on the activities of the Night School - in one of these reports, filed in the September 1947 edition of 'The Diocesan College Magazine', Raymond reported that the Night School had broken previous records.  This he attributed to the increase in numbers of support staff attending the classes.  This however, required more teaching staff and students to do the teaching.  Raymond belonged to several other societies.  As a member of the Democritus Society, he delivered a paper on the topic of Psychology, talking specifically on the materials and methods of psychological research.  As a member of the Ten Club and also of the Foreign Affairs Society, Raymond was an active participant.  For the Ten Club meeting of 13 May 1948 he delivered a paper entitled 'The influence of the Film on Modern Society'.  After a few words on the film as an art form, he criticised the lack of thought in modern films, directors being too much governed by the box-office to experiment. Paul will be putting together an exhibit for the Museum documenting Raymond's involvement and contribution to the societies at Bishops when he was a member of them.
