  1. I think the teacher 2nd. from the right on the back row is Gerald Taylor, a Physics teacher. He left in 1958 and Mr. Mould took his place.

  8. Jimmy Vickers was a particular hero of mine for his unique approach to the teaching of both junior history and scripture. His end of term treat for his history classes was the performance of a Stanley Holloway monologue. My special favourite was "The Battle of Hastings".
    His scripture lessons were totally unique in that he brought new life to the Acts of the Apostles. It is hard to credit in these Godless days, but in the post war years the weekly comic "Eagle" ran a back page comprising the Acts of the Apostle in what would now be called "a strip cartoon". Jimmy persuaded as many pf his studebts as possible to donate their copies and then cut out the back pages and pasted them in to hard back books for later class use - a brilliant idea. Thanks.
