D W Brian McInroy


(1955-77)

BBHS 1966-72

From the 1977 School Magazine:

His many friends were saddened to hear of his untimely death in a car crash at Durham, where he was undertaking a course of teacher training at the College of Education.

At school he distinguished himself in English and Classics and he continued his studies at St Andrews University, from which he graduated in June 1976 with honours in Classics and Ancient History.

In other ways also he made a significant contribution to the life of the school. He was a popular and efficient Captain. He gave memorable performances in a number of drama group productions, including one of Jean Anouilh's Antigone. He took a prominent part in the activities of the Debating Society and he was several times a prize-winner in English Department and in Tayside Classical Association Verse-Speaking Competitions.



It is a matter of extreme regret that so promising a career should have been thus cut short and we extend to his family our heartfelt sympathy in their tragic loss.
