There was a Mr Dorian in the early 60's taught maths

There was a Hugh MCmahon who taught history in 1964 and a chap called Ian Snead who was a technical teacher.

How old do I feel?

I went to school with Hugh McMahon, he later became a MEP


Madge

He did indeed Madge and I impressed him no end with my knowledge of the first world war. He must have found it refreshing that someone at that school did their own research. Mind you I would have been better out playing football.

Yesterday I had an enjoyable afternoon in the pub and the subject got round to the teachers at the higher grade. This chap who is more than a decade older than me still remembers the gym teacher and how one day he had forgotten his gym pants and he was made to take gym running around with his bare bottom. Of course wouldn't happen to-day.

was this 1960s

I remember being at school in the 1990s and some boys if they forgot shorts had to do PE in underwear but like you said after the year 2000+ wouldn't be allowed,

am looking to find out more about Stevenston higher grade teachers of the 1960s for a family member who started there in 1960,

Hey Boots I it was in the 1950's and the gym teacher is still alive.

many of the staff in 1969 left and went on to the new Auchenharvie Academy
I remember staff from there that moved on,

Alistair Aitken head is in Arran am I correct Born 1921 -
