Lex Watson—Professor Alexander Watson AM—seen here in a grab from the Morning Show in 1984, was a political scientist, historian and gay rights activist. According to Wikipedia, his parents didn't want him to go to Mod, but he did. He started uni studies at UWA but went to Sydney for Hons, and stayed there.
Here he is in his exhibition photo for the 1961 Sphinx.
Lex was in Vm, and he's here at the centre of a class photo, next to our German teacher, Mrs Wrightson.
