[Fareast 10]

I think there 's a very similar thread to this about Greystones School. Could they be combined ? Mods ?

Paul Mangle was in my class, think Kath Fowler was too. Miss Hornsey was the French teacher, do you remember the following;

Mrs Harrison

Mr Grenville

Mrs Marsden

Mr Morgan

Mr Wragg

Mr Watson

Mrs McDonald

Mr Renshaw

Miss Howson

Mr Newton

Mr Turley

Miss Hartley

Mrs Robinson (school sec)

 

I hated school, but cried like a baby the day I left!! Do you remember Mr Aizlewood always called out 'girlie/laddie stop running/walking /breathing' etc!!!!

 

Hi Hetty back again yes once again you have jogged my memory i remember mr Grenville,mr Wragg,mr Renshaw, mr Newton & mr Turley plus the head mr Aizlewood i remember " you laddie" very well plus he always took a run up when administering the slipper outside his office in the coridder i think i was a regular visitor to his office for that exercise i believe he started out as a six footer until i arrived at Greystones all that running with the slipper wore him down to around 5ft 6in Paul Mangle was a very big friend of mine but lost contact with him in the 70s and would love to get back in contact if anyone could give me any information his brother Eric was better known for some other issues which i wont name on web sites like you i also hated school even more so the last term my birthday fell in the summer months so i could not leave until mid summer when most of my school mates left at easter then all got into instant work earning cash while i was still at school needless to say the word WAGGING comes to the front of my mind do you also remember Pamela Clark & Jean Hancock they were big friends with each other just like they were joined by a piece of elastic Twing & Twang i used to call them.

I was 15 in November 1960, and left school at Christmas. No qualifications, but I have done alright for myself!!! Right on the front row when they were giving out common sense which has always stood me in good stead!

hello janet its dave bolton i came up from st silas i knew dereck marriot and douglas stevenson was born next cot to mine in nether edge hospital i was very quite and shy quite tall douglas if any body picked on me sorted em out for me. he was a foot smaller than me. do u remember malolm simpson he was the only one with the girls in school choir he had a high pitched voice cant remember what form iwas in but usually in c or b classes i thought head teacher mr aizlewood was a lovely man. nice memories. did u go down to encks park at dinnertime regards dave.

[katedave 10]

me again yes remember francis fairbrother and kath fowler i once chucked a banger firework through theire door stupid thing to do if anyone did that to me know well trouble is her sister was pregnant at time by the way used to play doctors and nurses with kathleen i never got used to that nurses uniform ha ha.

Hi katedave, nice to hear from you. I'm sorry I don't remember you, but if you were shy that's probably why. Dougie was a right little scrapper but good fun. He could sing too. I seem to remember someone saying he went training to be a jockey when he left school but I don't know how true that is. Yes, there was a gang of us who used to go to Encks at dinnertime to swing in the tree tops. We also used to stop at the railings on Bingham Park Road for a crafty fag. You must be one of the few who liked old Aizlewood. I really hated that man. Mind you, I was forever on his radar.

Hi Dave, Just reading about you and Kath, naughty naughty. I'm sure our paths must have crossed but I've racked my brains and I still can't remember. It must be the old age thing. Kath and me used to knock about together for a while. She's still around. Have seen her mentioned on the Forum. Malcom Simpson's name is familiar but I can't put a face to him. Take care, Jan

Hi Jack, just been replying to katedave and saw your reply to Hetty. Dave seems to think Aizlewood was a lovely man. Must have been another Aizledwood. Your memories of him are the same as mine. UGH!!! I do remember most of the teachers though. Liked Mr Grenville. When we first went up to Greystones he took 3B until we were all sorted into forms, then he took us for history. Mr Wragg was lovely, think he took us for maths. I was in his 11+ class at Pomona Street. Couldn't stand the sight of McDonald and Morgan wasn't much better. I do remember all the girls were mad on Mr Turley the art teacher. You've probably guessed by now, I also hated school.

Hi Fareast, Is my memory playing tricks or was there a Greystones Grammar School during the fifties?

Hi Janber i dont know if you were in the same year as myself what i do remember is that on my last day of school a few of the previous years pupils came up to cause trouble i remember the school bell being stolen from out of the bell tower and taken down to Endcliffe park and hung from a tree for a while until it was thrown into the boating pond also mr Grenville's car tyres were let down outside the science classroom you mentioned mr Roy Turley OBE he was my favorite teacher ( sports ) he got his OBE for services to teaching in the Norfolk area he also played for Sheffield's no 1 club the BLADES for a while i was at an age when the only thing that fascinated me at school was miss Hornsby's breasts i seem to think i was sent to Aizlewood for the slipper more times than i can remember for staring at her bosom i wouldnt call it DAY DREAMING more like fantasizing i too loved playing Doctors & Nurses but my Nurses were Linda Batty, Elaine Dewsnap & Gloria Bailey HAPPY DAYS .
