Treatment Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 It was actually ".. quicquid Edwardensium". In case any Old Edwardians feel inspired to burst into song, here are the words: Tempus est ut concinamus quicquid Edwardensium nunc adestis, hoc sit omnis thema nostri carminis; qualis est qui cuique nostrum semper aemulandus est? ille verus Edwardensis, quisquis humani nihil a sese alienum putabit, usque consors ceteris sive gaudebunt secundis seu laborabunt malis. strenuus labore mentis, corporis non negligens, omnium sententiarum perspicax inquisitor; semper artium bonarum pervicax videbitur. D.B. Harrison was indeed P.E./swimming master. Sadly, he died young of a heart attack in 1967. See http://nlc.oldedwardians.org.uk/ I recall that that aemulandus used to go on for circa six seconds.

denlin Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Ecclesfield Grammar turned comprehensive about 1974, 75 or 76. I went to the grammar school aged 11 in 1962. The Head was Arnold Henry Jennings and the head of year 1 and 2 which moved into the old Modern School building was Harry Birkby. His son Edward was in my class. The french teacher, Mr Cochrane, had two sons at the school Simon who was in my year and Toby who started there a year or two later. The other teachers I remember are Gabby Hayes (Maths) Mr Sant (art), Miss Webster (science) and Mrs Palmer - my form teacher - (english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasen Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 My name is Graham Sencicle and I was interested to read the thread with regard to Sencicle Boule, a teacher at NEGS in the 50's. My great grandfather was Jonathan Sencicle of Burringham, Lincs. His first wife died in 1867 and he re-married married Ellen Harrison in 1878. I'm wondering if there might be a connection to Sencicle Boule. Were the Harrisons of Gleadless a local family do yo know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezerboy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Owler Lane was a scolarship pass, but was termed an Intermediate school the same as Marlcliffe. The uniform was grey and maroon and the motto "Per Ardua Ad Alta". I attended there until Xmas 1959. HM was Pop Gregory, others, Fairest, Boardman, MacDonald, Pegg, Holmes, Gladsby, Lupton and others I cannot remember. There was I believe a Mr Clark, quite a small guy who didn't always use a cane, his weapon of choice was a rubber gas pipe that wrapped around you.What was the metalwork teacher called?he was a registered silversmith. When you were in trouble he'd call you a chuff,then to cover his arse he'd inform you that was a Red Legged Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Fox Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Who can remember the list of available Sheffield Grammar schools in or around 1956?? Unfortunately I was not one of the successful entrants but life has turned out pretty good in the "big picture". Thank you in advance for any help offered - from an ex Arbourthorner here Toronto. The ones I remember are Firth Park, Eckington,Woodhouse, King Edward V11,Abbeydale boys', Abbeydale girls', High Storrs, Ecclesfield and King Egbert, but there must have been more. Glad to hear life's good in Toronto- great city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another of his was "These hands were trained to kill". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos55 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 First time that I've looked at this thread. Some interesting stuff and some posts that bring back the memories. Not much about King Ecgberts though....isn't there anyone out there who attended KE between 1967 and 1972? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldowlsfan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My memories of Marlciffe were from 1959-64 when it was known as a secondary grammar school . It ceased being a secondary school in the summer of '64 when the pupils & staff moved to Chaucer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
