I was at PE infants and juniors until 1961

I remember Mr Vernon Cross Headmaster ..he smoked a pipe and he used to pick up the little girls !! I remember the smell of his pipe tobacco.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Mr Bellamy He used to walk down the rows of desks and whack the boys on the back of the head if they weren't paying attention !

I also remember Mrs Gilson and Miss Stephenson as well as Mrs Webster.

My sister and brother [ also on this forum ] went to PE too and later on my son was there.

 

Some names I remember are Terry Dell Elaine Kay Jean Tilney Alan Kitchen Michael Oldale Mick Szymanski Peter Briggs Susan Foulstone Susan Jackson.

 

I am sure more will come back to me

Hi Lucylac,

Hi Val

 

I remember you well as I am a friend of Pam's. We have known each other for approx. 40 years. I haven't seen Barbara for a long time though.

 

The last time I saw you was at your house when your parents were still alive or it could have been at Pam & Barbara's 60th Birthday bash.

Little Mr Thomas was Headmaster and he gave me plenty of stick.

ONE OF THE TEACHERS EITHER mr WHITE OR brown had two different canes

and used to let you chose which one you wanted to be whacked with.

We had Mr Bluff as Woodwork teacher, he was good.

I lived on Queen Mary Rd opposite a garage site , Just below Wulfric Rd, i think it was 104 Q.M.Rd

with 2 sisters Dorreen & Jean who both attended P.E school though they are older sisters.

The names Wendy Ball & G.Needham ring a bell but i am not sure if i've read

them in the forum.

Why do the people on forum ,Not give their names/maiden names. I have only just joined the forum and i suppose there must be a reason for not doing so.

Nice to hear from you,Thanks for replying

regards John
