Pupil Memories

Final Memories from Karen Buckley

Karen Buckley has some final memories of some teachers and her last day at school.  (This was added a week before the website closed down).

Hope it is not too late to add the following for posterity, here are some additional memories of teachers:

Taffy Newell:   His niece was the first wife of the actor Richard Burton.

Mr R R Jones:  Loved mathematics and was hugely disappointed when telling us how a single greenfly could have thousands of progeny over a season did not excite a response.   A muscle in his cheek would twitch when upset.  Sadly he died of cancer in c. 1965.

DHL Meadows always wore a white coat with holes in, caused by acid splashes, it was known as 'Meadow's lace'.

Mr LW Timms:  Catching me whistling on the stair between classes, informed me that "Whistling women and crowing hens will chase the devil out of his den"  

When I left Trinity, in May 1967, early as I has a job at Monks Wood Experimental Station, I jumped the pond in the courtyard, watched by the pupils in the music room.   One off my bucket list!
