'59-'62

 

Haythorn took English.

 

Bagshawe took us for science, magic teacher, our first lesson was a farce with him acting the fool, we looked forward to the following week's lesson but he was a taskmaster and made us work hard. Wasn't looking forward to the following week but guess what? He was back to jester mode! We then realised what the deal was, work hard one week and fool around the next, great system, worked a treat. Sadly it didn't last very long as he died of a heart attack in the summer hols.

My dad, Ernest cocker went to Hurfield boys 1955-59, he remembers some of the names on the above list.. One name though Roger Hanley my dad and Roger both rented workshops on Sylvester street and were good friends for 30 years, but they never knew they went to the same school at the same time, it was only last week that, sadly at Rogers funeral he found out that they both went to Hurfield and were in the same year.

I think Harry Whitehouse should be on the list and believe he took that 4B class for Drama?? Also didn't we have a guy called something like Peter D'oyle Carter for lesson in English??

 

Also on the boys list I think maybe Jim Otley, David Bates, Tony Wragg, Graham Crump, Roy Rastrick, Terry Dobson, David Beard also a lad called...Robinson? I stand corrected if some of these lads were in other level 4 classes. Sad to here about Roger he was a good guy and befriended me, as I only did years 3 and 4 at Hurlfield which could be a tough age to enter a new school!

 

Lastly one of our year has posted a photo of the class on Friends Reunited ...would love to know if anybody can name the lads on the photo especially the back row!!

Thanks to Royston for jogging my memory about

Tony Wragg

Roy Rastric

David Beard

I dont recall the other names you listed as being in 4B

But I certainly should have remembered Harry Whitehouse-(that was the only first name of a teacher I was aware of)

,and he was related to me and we both shared the same Birthday ---May 9th--

He was quite efeminate compared to the other teachers and kept on about masterbating----I,m sure we didn,t call it that----thanks dennis wild
