CHAIRBOY Â Â 10 #15 Posted October 22, 2006 Centenarian Miss Coates - congratulations. I knew them both when I joined the staff in '74. I rather liked Mr.Shaw and I remember how placid he remained when I reversed into his bumper on one of those regular treks from King's Croft/Upper School/Lower School.

CHAIRBOY Â Â 10 #17 Posted October 22, 2006 Does anyone remember mr Wade he played that big base thing in assembley, i think he drove a three wheeler. Â Quite correct, he taught Latin. He's a former pupil of High Storrs Grammar School and was a good singer, being part of Dore G&S Society. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
