R S (Reggie) Alexander was in the original intake into the school and at the time of this photo was Mayor of Nairobi - the
first local born person to hold this office. This distinguished Old Cambrian later became a member of Legco and of the
International Olympic Committee until his death in 1990. A founder of the
Old Cambrians club, he negotiated with the Nairobi Council in 1945 for the lease of the site on the Ngong Road where the
Old Cambrians Sports Club was established. He became the first captain of the Old Cambrians Cricket XI which played its
first matches at the School Oval until the pitch on the Ngong Road was completed in 1946.
