Getz

I went to High Storrs from 1947-1954 in the C from till 5th year then Lower and Upper 6th. Got wacked by nearly all the teachers. Pharoah (Physics) with 6 feet of Bunsen burner gas pipe, Adams after "sailing close to the wind" (with "Jimmy" a polished leather strap cut off from a railway carriage window), Mack (headmaster) when he got a ladle of water on his head which was meant for Brin Baker on April fools Day. Mack came instead to give us a lecture on trying to make something of ourselves. I also remember Polly Parrot (Chemistry. Owd Bill, maths ( steel plate elbow in your earhole), who said he would eat his hat if I got GCE in maths. I did - he didn't and many other characters most of whom had patent methods of whacking. Happy Days!

Hi Everyone, I was a pupil at Lydgate Lane infant and primary School during the war from 1941 -1947. My best pal was Mick Beck from Tapton Hill Terrace who sat next to me on our first day who was born 1 week later than me. I also remember very well Phil Staves and Brian Daniels. After the 11+ I went to High Storrs Grammar School and after National Service to Manchester University School of Architecture, Anyone remember me can contact me at [email protected]. My nickname in those days was "Getz".
