St Jim's in the Pluck.

Saint James College (St Jim's) first appeared in issue 106 of the Pluck in November 1906 before the Gem was born. Twelve stories later St Jim's moved to the Gem and stayed there for the next 32 years. Roger Jenkins wrote an article for the 1992 CD annual discussing the relationship between Clavering college and St Jim's, you can read it here.
