Quarmby was a teacher of Music in the BC for one year only: 1963. He also taught English and Arithmetic in the BC and was an Assistant Housemaster in Mountstephens.
Quarmby is best remembered for having composed the College Song which was first sung at the Foundation Day Service in 1963.
Enquiries about Quarmby elicited the following information courtesy of Heather Roberts, College Archivist at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK:
Quarmby lived in Huddersfield and entered the Royal Manchester College of Music (RMCM) in September, 1946 at the age of 24 to study piano and graduated in July 1949 as a Teacher.
Quarmby had previously taught at Kearsney College where he was on the staff from 1951 to 1959. Kearsney was able to provide the following information from their online magazines:
1951 Chronicle: "Mr. R. Quarmby, A.R.M.C.M., Ed.Dip. (Leeds), has joined us as Music Master, in which capacity his chief concern will be the teaching of the pianoforte, but he has also taken over part of the choir work from Mr. Reece. He trained at the Royal Manchester College of Music, and being a Yorkshireman, is, of course, an excellent cricketer as well as an expert pianist. We welcome his help on the cricket field, and are also glad to know that he will lend a hand with rugger as well. Astronomy is another spare-time interest of his. Mr. Quarmby served five years during the War as a wireless operator with the Royal Air Force. [...] The high-light of the concert was Mr. Quarmby's pianoforte playing of some of the Scenes from Carnaval (Schumann) and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The School is fortunate to have an artist of his calibre at the head of its music department, and we trust that we shall have regular opportunities of hearing him at the keyboard in future."
1952 Chronicle: "Lest visitors to the School should mistake the contraption near the swimming bath for an anti-aircraft gun, we hasten to assure them that it is only the mounting for Mr. Quarmby's telescope. Mr. Quarmby, a keen astronomer, was fortunate to obtain this powerful telescope (nine feet long, six Inch lens, 500 magnification) at a comparatively small cost, for its full value, with mounting, is nearly £1,000. This is the most powerful privately-owned telescope in South Africa, and when the fittings are all completed we hope to study the vegetation on the craters of Jupiter's moons!"
1953 Chronicle: "We thank Mr. Quarmby who, intending to speak on Astronomy, seized the opportunity instead to give a very interesting lecture on the history of the efforts to conquer Mount Everest." [The date of this talk was 21st June, 1953, shortly after Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay were the first mountaineers to successfully ascend Mount Everest.]
1956 Chronicle: "I should like to pay tribute to the keenness of the singers, and, while he is enjoying a well-earned holiday in England, I should also like to express my appreciation for all the musical service Mr. Quarmby has rendered to the Choir during the past five years. He has most thoroughly upheld the tradition of good singing which the school has for so long been proud about. [...] Mr. Quarmby has taken six months' leave to sharpen up his Yorkshire dialect. He confesses that when he arrived home he was quite unable to make himself understood to the natives of his dales. [...] Mr. Quarmby is back In his native Yorkshire. We have no doubt that he is spending his time equally between Celebrity Concerts, the Leeds cricket ground, and the nearest observatory, and we look forward to his impressions of England on his return."
1957 Chronicle: "Mr R. Quarmby also flew to England for the Christmas holidays to continue a course In advanced philosophy In which he Is keenly interested. [...] Mr. Quarmby fills the House, when the spirit moves him, with melody. [...] The two-piano work was interesting and displayed very good synchronisation, with signs of patient rehearsing. Mr. Quarmby's genius presided throughout."
Quarmby is commemorated at Kearsney in the old observatory building pictured on the following link: https://www.kearsney.com/college/observatory/
Not much is known about Quarmby’s career after he left Kearsney. From 1961 to 1963, he taught music and was a keen member of the staff cricket team at Rondebosch Boys’ High School. That school’s digital archive recorded his death in Cape Town at the age of 78 on 28 September, 2000.
