Ex Waltheof School pupils

[CF8M 11]

a few of the names ring a bell i am trying to locate susan hague on her post it says she now lives in scotland she was my best mate at school do you remember lynn ford sandra bower where did you live i lived on irving street darnall

 

A few more names,Florence Barker,Margaret Stocker,Joyce Hogg, Martin Hodkin.

We lived on Basford,same side as the Ball Inn one of the the detached houses then we moved to Richmond at the side of the park

Looking back after all this time I was at Waltheof for about eighteen months over a two year period,but at the time it seemed like ages.

I started in Marshalls class then Sarson then Battersby then out the door to Stradbrook (City Grammar)

I am 62 birthday end of July also end of school year so I was always a year behind.

I had Sarson worked out and luckily I had a double-barrel name so she thought I was from a snobbish family.

She was a real snob and always did her shopping in Walsh's, so I dropped it out that we had just returned from London where we had been to Harrods and Selfridges and had the paper carrier bags to prove it!Boy! Was she impressed when I gave them to her.

We once had to do Shaws' Pygmalion as part of English Lit.

Of course she took the role of Eliza Doolittle,but I had the role of Henry Higgins!Not having a Sheffield accent had its good sides now and then.Boardering on teachers pet.

It was astonishing the amount of cruelty that was a daily occurrance at that place.I once saw Sarson slap one of the fourth year girls across the face for something really trivial.

Good and bad days!

When we moved to Sheffield we were on Basford for a short time before moving to Richmond,so I did not really get to know anyone around us and sorry I did not know Beverly.

We knew people over the back of us on Darnall Drive,the Monks family and the Ketterings.

Right now we are ten hours in front of you,but next week when your clocks go back we shall be eleven hours in front.So mid-day here will be 1 am in Sheffield.

hi, i left in 77 and too have great memories. My favourite teacher from this period was the music teacher who had hs class in the terrapin buildings across the yard once did an imprimtu(mr evans i think his name was). He used to allow me and my mates to play the guitars at lunch times..we once did a small gig at one of the summer fairs and some nice person decided to slice throught all my electric guitar strings with a stanly knife during the interval. I didnt think we were that bad..lol.. I ended up being head boy which was no major feat considering where i was brought up. When my kids were younger for some reason i took them to have a look around the school grounds one weekend the very next week it was burned down....

My close mates back then were, doug haig, mick garvey, brian headford, neil elliot, kev fiander, kev critchley, most of whome i still see and keep intouch although i now live in dubai.. I went out with anne faram at the time but we havent spoken since the 5th year whe we broke up. First loves always leave a lasting impression..paul fletcher
