The Grenada Boys Secondary School (GBSS) Hostel was an institution that transformed adolescent boys from "brash, crude, 'ignorant', unhewn base metals" into "polished gems". This book is about memories of a boarding school life, and is also a tribute to an institution where boys lived, studied and played for almost nine months each year over six to eight years. The keys to Hostel life were discipline and personal development - in study, play and in other aspects of social life.

 
About the Author, Dr. Winston J. Phillips

Dr. Winston Phillips, the author, was a Hostel Boy from 1953 to 1960, and outlines in his reminiscences the systems and experiences behind this Hostel process. Phillips’ education at the GBSS and the Hostel was followed by his successfully completing degrees in Economics and Agricultural Economics. His working life carried him to many countries including Eritrea, East Africa where he was the first Representative of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. He currently resides in the USA in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife, Elizabeth. Dr. Phillips firmly attributes his academic and working-life achievements to the solid grounding received at the GBSS and at the GBSS Hostel.
