replied on: 2/10/2008 12:22:07 AM The song was "The Night has a Thousand Eyes" sung by Bobby Vinton if the memory cells are correct. The poem was The Tiger or similar by William Blake. The lines that caused the upset were along the lines of tiger tiger eyes burning bright followed by the night having a thousand eyes. All corrections gratefully received. Here's one about the other side of G J Farmer Little. This must have been early 60s. We met one Saturday afternoon in the antique shop at the top of Derby Road. I suspect I was after postage stamps, G J was enquiring about old boys comics of pre WW2 vintage. I find it rather strange that I can recall trivia from all those years ago. regards Phil |

replied on: 2/10/2008 11:18:24 AM you may mean this one phil by Francis William Bourdillon The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying of the sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done. |

replied on: 2/12/2008 3:26:10 PM Many thanks to you, both, for the corrections. I was never a big fan of the music of early 60s.If the memory department is ok I seem to remember that each form had its place on the hall floor. Not quite military parade ground style but nearly there. regards Phil |

replied on: 3/10/2008 6:11:20 PM I read recently in a newsletter from the Grammar School "Old Boys", that Gordon Leake, who was an old boy of HGS had died. After graduating, he worked for a short period at the Grammar School, before becoming Head of English at Aldercar. His nickname was "Gunga" and he was one of the teachers you didn't mess with. Seems like we could do with a few more of his sort nowadays. |
