Hi 'Marky Baby'

 

I'm searching the furthermost recesses of my memory to try and come up with at least one pupil name from your era (a couple of years behind me).

My best attempt at this is a girl called Mary(?) Billard. I think she lived at Herdings. Is my mind playing tricks or not?

 

hi her name wasnt Mary it was Margaret

I was in Mr Pickup's class 25 years ago, as i recall back then he lived on Commonside at Walkley, probably still does... He was one of my fave teachers, in fact apart from Mrs Bradley the typing teacher he was probably the only one I actually liked :gag::rant:

 

I still have nightmares about that daft old bat Freeman to this day! :shocked::rant:

He was my form tutor from 1984-1986, he went away on a course for a year (why do they do that?) so he stopped being our form teacher (we were moved to Mr Lyons then Mr Tracey).

 

You must have had him as soon as he came back from the course. He was a decent bloke for sure. He was probably younger than he seemed at the time (from a kid's eyes). Seem to remember he played Rugby League.
