sjc204 Â Â 10 #169 Posted January 21, 2011 HI Alylou, Lewis Cypher, Â I think I was there a year or two ahead of you, I left in 1980, I think Saskia was in my little brother's class, Jarvis was in the year below me I think. We were all in one room for 6 form. Â I remember a lot of teachers people have mentioned. Pity if Swifty has lost the plot, he was probably the best teacher when I was there. I remember Mr Hugman, we were pretty awful to him but he was really kind. He left when I was there. There was another RE teacher Mr Kendellen, he was a councillor or something as I remember. Â StJohn/ Sinjen "over to the spowts ow, sit against the wow" Â Tingle - he was a scary bloke, but he and Mr Bant (metalwork) took a few of us sailing a few times on one of the dams. That was good but i was always dead scared of drowning. Â Paulson, he was the Chemistry chap with the hair, Biffo we used to call him. There was a technician called Graham around as well. And Physics was taught by Mr Ward - did he really get married? We watched the cricket when we were revising. Â Another science teacher was mr Kita, there was a story that both he and Mr Fletcher (hisotry) were in the Vietnam war. And Mr Brown was supposed to have got his legs shot up in a Spitfire. i don't remember a Mrs Brown. Â Mr Parsonage was a new arrival when i was there, he took us for one year of german. There was another german/ french teacher mr Hall, we called him Ajud. Â In art we had miss robinson I think, who was lovely, there was also miss kitson and Mr Thornton who became head of Sixth form. He let a couple of us do photography, Mark White was in that group. Â Anybody remember Shep / Rob / Wato / Mark and Andy (twins) Pete / Mark. Gail / Zoe / Bev / Marie / Diane / Hayley. Shep was an actor, did he ever make it big time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tony of Yorks   0 #174 Posted June 23, 2019 I was there 1964 to 71. We had the distinction of being the first new intake into the Stradbroke Road site in 64 and the first ones into the brand new sixth form block in 69. Still cannot smell furniture polish or new leather without being transported back to 64. And all the new blackboards squeaked ! I think opening and helping to run the tuckshop helped form my "buying and selling" career ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
