Hi Chris - Yes I was in 1.3 and 2.3 before leaving in July 67. Now that you mention it I do remember the one armed maths teacher. I think he lost it in the war. I was in Browning too but I can't remember the name of my Tutor - he was an older guy witrh grey hair and glasses - I remember the name of an older boy in my Tutor group who was in 4th or 5th year called Mockeridge. Cheers Bill

Nice to hear from you Bill. I don't recall so many names now, but remember my tutor - Mr Stone - I was in B5. I also remember the music teacher, Miss Vaughn Jones, whom we called "Scraggy Annie". Mr Stroud, then Mr Brook were Browning housemasters. Have you visited www. friendsrevisited website, there are quite a few entries on FHS from that era. Cheers Chris

Hi Bill, yes that's the one, I meant friends reunited. Were you the tall boy with glasses or am I thinking of someone else? Cheers Chris

No glasses - tall with straight brown hair with a slanted fringe and quite sticky out ears - somebody in the class nicknamed me Haggis - because I was Scottish - maybe that was you!lol

Thanks for the info Bill, I do remember you now. You might recall I was nicknamed "Ali" by Wally Knight, because my then surname was Barber. The name stayed with me until after I had left school.

Wally Knight. What a teacher. So calm compared to Mr Vogt in the next room who you could always hear shouting.

Who recalls the terrible Magoo's buses that took us down to Sidcup for sports.

Anyone recall Dr Wornham who was a local vicae but came in to teach RE.
