The Greyfriars
Gallery After 5 years in the editorial chair Herbert Hinton left to enlist in the Coldstream guards and receive his commission as Captain. John Nix Pentelow succeeded Hinton as editor of the Magnet and Gem at the age of 44. Hinton was a prolific writer in his own right and an expert on Cricket. He brought to the job something previous incumbents had lacked - a deep and intimate knowledge of Greyfriars and St Jim's. Pentelow wasted little time in preparing the ground for a Greyfriars Gallery. Portraits would be drawn by CH Chapman and the potted biographies would be his own work. In the end, the gallery ran for 102 articles and described the backgrounds and characters of 118 schoolboys, masters, cliff house girls, local tradesmen and relatives. The last folio of the gallery was published in 1919 in Magnet 571. Entitled The Rest of Them Pentelow listed some 70 characterd who had appeared fleetingly in the Magnet.
