Heanor Loscoe Rd Boys School Teachers - L 1940s
replied on: 2/25/2005 5:10:53 PM Hi, Robert. I tried to get the correct dating in the Heading, but it was too long. Speaking for myself, i'd take it from the middle of the late 1940s. The photograph was probably taken around then. I knew most of the teachers on the photograph and as 'Nobby Priestly looks smooth faced, I.E. not attacked anybody's fists with his face yet, i'd say the middle of the late 1940s is the correct time.

replied on: 2/26/2005 12:15:52 PM Hi, Frs. Thankfully, from your description, i never knew the Mr. Jeffery. Regarding the photograph above. I believe the correct dating of it is around the late - 1940s. I never knew a few of the teachers shown on the photograph, so they had obviously departed the scene pre-1950. Thanks for the photograph insert, Robert. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 2/27/2005 12:31:38 AM I'll still plump for the back row, far right teacher to be Mr. Fountain, the woodwork and laboratory replacement teacher for Mr. Foinette. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 8/2/2005 1:34:09 PM No sooner said than did, Amy. It was an 'Adventurous' school and in the main, blissful, barmy days. My favourite jobs were as the senior librarian and a member of the three pupil ink monitor team, in which we delivered the cans of black and red ink to the overflow school - St. Luke's Chapel, at Loscoe, on a weekly basis. Great days. It's a good job i'm still not on the Ink Monitor team, as the new recent law states - 'All teachers will now cease using red ink, because it's to 'strong' a colour for the pupils. Green ink MUST be used instead. Imagine ALL the havoc that would cause in changing the red ink can for a green ink one. I'm all for an easy life instead. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 8/3/2005 5:39:33 PM My three greatest upsets at the school, were - 1 - Being beaten up - punched in the face and body, back and forth across the front of the classroom several times, at the age of 12, by the irate Taffy teacher, caused by me answering a question wrongly.  The lesson learned "do unto others FIRST, if they look like doing it to you". 2 - Being admonished in front of the whole school publically - teachers and pupils, while standing on a wall, enforced by Mr. Strover,the Headmaster and facing the whole pupil filled playground, while he pointed at me with a finger, explaining from toe to head the scruffy, dusty and bloodied state i was in for adhering to the lesson learned via the Taffy occurrance a short time before. The lesson learned, "Never give in to biased/blind Authority. Keep out of their way - at ALL costs". 3 - The 'Gang' i was associated with, well, half-a-dozen of us were called to the new Headmaster's office one day, around the age of 14, where he accused us of some demeanour or other. I stated i hadn't been with my friends at the time of the incident, which was quite true and stated so by them to him. But no, to him i was a member of that particular gang and hence i was as guilty as them. I simply MUST have been involved. Six of the unearned best was the result. Three on each hand and it was the hardest, most painful caning i had ever known, before or after. The caning was so severe, that if any of us had had a weak heart, that would have been the end of things. Lesson learned - "Never assume - it can get you killed, or as good as". Azzabuv. |

replied on: 11/4/2005 8:49:37 PM I'm glad you resolved the 'Spooky' side of things, DB. I thought i'd done something else i didn't know about. Yes, Morgan was a really kind and conscientious Teacher. Sadly he was killed in a car crash in 1976. Is E. Amott on the above Teachers photograph? There's a couple on there i don't recognise. Any of the lads names above, ring a bell with you? Azzabuv. |
