Notes / History 1947 marked the 40th birthday of the Wimbledon County School for Girls, and for the first time in the school's history, it snowed on this date. The occasion was marked with talks, singing, and games, although plans for netball and hockey had to be scrapped in favour of indoor team sports due to the weather. This picture shows the unfurling of the School Flag by the School Games Captain.
