1967 - Clipping: High School Pupils Will Meet Jordan King
Port Glasgow & Greenock Express, Weds May 24, 1967
High School Pupils Will Meet Jordan King
8,000-Mile Tour by Land Rover
On Fair Saturday, July 1, fourteen Port Glasgow schoolboys will set out what must be the most exciting and adventurous expedition ever planned by a Scottish School. The boys, all pupils of Port Glasgow High School, are presently preparing for the start of their summer holiday of a lifetime, which will lead them overland to Jordan and even to the palace of King Hussein.
This most exciting adventure is about to become reality for the boys after more than a year of plotting and planning by geography master, Mr John K. Barr, and headmaster, Mr D. H. Scobie.
Talking to the 'Express' about the expedition, Mr Scobie said that it was the most adventurous ever in the history of the school, and was probably equally so of state schools in the country.
