I went to Rowlinson 1962-70. It's good to read this thread and to remember some of the names. I was sad to hear that Todge has died, even though the only time I got the cane was when he was in charge because Yak (Mr Kay) was away. It was for writing in the condensation on the windows.

I was in Chantry and remember this part of the register: Akers, Allen, Armstrong, Asbery, Barton, Beardshaw, Boule, Cousins, Deeley, Hall, Hardy, Hayes, Hobson, Laurenceson, Lee, McCully,. McMullen, Nicholas, Oldham, Price ...

Only recently viewed your message having posted a few asking about Rowlinson. I was in the class you mentioned, and remember a few more names. Merv Oldham ( Polo) whom I Knocked about with for some years.

Les Beardshaw, Ian Allen, Machin, Akers, Pete Cousins who I work with.

Alan Tumman, Teasdale.

My mother was very friendly with your mother and father since she worked for them at Hemsworth School.

I remember the tuck shop, jammie dodgers were a penny each I think.

Also remember two guys in another house, same year. One had a Heinkel Mescherscmidt and the other came in a Isetta bubble car, I had one of the first Yamaha motor cycles and left it in the bike sheds during the day.

I went to rowlinson from 1962 to '67. I was in Huntsman with Jonathan Ash, Phil Markham, John Barker, Ken Nettleship, Mick Lunt, Jonathon Wright, Gordon Brindley, Dave Mason. I'm Keith Williams, Does anyone remember me or can anyone fill in the gaps. I bump into Mr. Garnett now and again, he still lives at high storrs.

Hi Yamdave. I was in Huntsman . I bumped into Merv Oldham later on in 1973 and we became firm friends but Merv had a car accident about 20 years ago and ended up with brain damage, and although he could chat all day about the past he doesn't have a short term memory and is in a care home in York now

Does Mick Lunt have a daughter called Cathy?

Best wishes to all of Rowlinsons finest. I spent last sunday drowning my sorrows in Malc Sissons new hostelry The Cricketers on Bramall Lane with some of rolos old boys. then after a few it was off to the Bessemer for a northern soul sunday session for quite a few more. Have'nt heard some those sounds since my Nether Edge Hall days. A bonus was Chris Brooke from my year did a dj ing spot. To round the night off all the young supporters were having a punch up outside while the old 50 somethings were dancing to Baby I Need Your Loving. Just about says it all.

Ms's Graal and LeRoy Taught french one was a real honey the other should have worn a government health warning, no one has a right to be that ugly.

 

Holt "Bolt":- Physics poor begger used to lose the plot dead easy and throw tantrums like a two year old.

 

Ibbottson:_ Liked smacking boys on the botty with a slipper or paddle

 

Askham:- deputy head, Hit man for below Think I wore out a few of his canes.

 

CV Kay :- died less than one year after retiring 1968 ish

 

Then there was the temp woodwork teacher who put his hand through the power planer and sprayed blood and fingers all over the woodwork room windows.
