Was it really 37 years ago we started school together, his first day teaching in front of my first grammer school day. Any other 1W kids on here?

Good ole Mr Worth Had him for Geography in Year 9 if memory serves me correctly.

What's year 9? In them dayes it was 1st year through 5th then lower & upper 6th.

In your day, 3rd year then

Didnt teach me at school but taught me how to pull a few pints at the Longlands all those years ago Best wishes John

Obviously some things are forgotten over such long periods - such as how to spell Grammar

Legend, had him for art

Was always the soft touch compared too Alker!

such as how to spell Grammar

Didn't like English

I had Mr Worth for first and second years P.E along with Mr Alker and Mr Wilson for games and P.E through first to fifth years. All great teachers and motivators, Mr Alker and Mr Wilson sure dished out discipline but were very fair. If you tried your best, whether you were any good or not that was enough for them.
Loved the way Alks+Wilson used to pick teams for footy starting with least talented kids first and then argue about being left with year team captains at the end!
All the best to Mr Worth for his retirement.

Mr Worth, christ is he still about.

Was at MHS when I attended although he only taught whilst I was in yr7 then he became deputy head after ms turner left.

Mr Worth, Mr Alker and Miss Lovett all are still there!

Bah.

I remember Mr Worth refereeing our rugby matched on a saturday morning, I was always the guy that had to go on the other team if they didnt dring enough players lol
I always remmember him saying just dont do anything brilliant and if I got the ball let myself get tackled! I was only a skinny little lad at the time lol

And Mrs Hartley - think she's one of the longest serving as well.

Is She the same Mrs Hartley that taught R.E?
The R.E text books always had the best graffiti inside.
I remember a picture of Jesus stood by the sea of Galilee with a surf board under his arm!
I think Mrs Hartley was a bit worried about me when I replied to a question about why people have religious beliefs, stating "because their scared to die, miss".
I think she thought I'd end up on the top of a tower with a rifle shooting people, screaming
"ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI!"

I can't believe Alker is still there ! 24 years ago I was at MHS and I can still remember him, WIlson, and Worth very clearly. Why is it that your high school teachers stay firmly in your memory ?

err...

Mr err, ohh, erm... Mr Dawson! YES that's the one...

He was my form teacher for the five years! Yes, he's firmly in my memory!

And I had err... him for English.
Some bloke, then some woman for physics.
I did RE I think.
Oh and it may have been Mrs Hartley for Domestic Science, that name rings a bell.
Mr Evans for Geography (it was his class I climbed out of the window during)
Mr Crawshaw[?] Cronshaw[?] Leo Sayer[?] for Chemistry.
Mr Hagal[?] for Computer Studies...

Actually, I do remember Mr's Wilson & Alker for games and stuff...

Other than that... My high school teachers have rarely entered my mind from the moment I walked out the gate for the last time, throwing my blazer in the bin as I went!*



*Actually, I did quite like Mr Dawson, he was a decent bloke, who must have despaired of kids like me!

Mr Cronshaw was a chemistry teacher, Leo Sayer haircut, bright orange Vauxhall Firenza (Like a sporty version of a Viva with Rostyle wheels!! WOO).
That is all!

morning phoenix yes i was there 37 years ago in 1 west. i keep going back to see mr worth at parents evenings. 3 of my kids taught by him. only 1 still there now.

Morning Sue I'm going to try and get there to say goodbye, might even remember to take a class photo with me in it - I'm not in the one on his wall

Mrs Hartley, domestic science (or food technology as it is now).

Mr Cronshaw has a garage full of secrets

Is Mr Kurezcko (sp?) still there?

Thats NOT all!!!!!
He had huge veins on the back of his hands, as if he'd stuck Bunsen tubing all over them!!
(and coloured it blue )
