Auchenharvie Academy PE Teachers

[boots1]

Hi I would like to know At Auchenharvie Academy from when the school opened in august 1971 till Late June 1990

PE Teachers I want to know was there to Mr Walker's I only seen to remember Mr Andrew Walker who retired In June 1984. and he died few years ago.

But in other converstaions I have heard the rest of 80s and early 90s there was a Young Mr Walker.

Can folk write back and let me know if this is true or not so looking for years

if there is any other PE teachers then tell me as well,

At St. John's there was a Mr. Walker, gym teacher, in the late fifties, early sixties. I believe he was ex - military and he walked with a cane. Age wise, I'd have to guess 30, 40, it was hard to tell. I don't think I ever saw him smile.

Hi
I was at Auchenharvie 72-74 the P.E. teachers were Mr Walker, Mr Maxwell, Mrs McCracken (nee Stirrit) and Miss Willie, you can check the faces from the photograph just after the school opened.

I left Auchenharvie in 1992 and I think the younger Mr Walker you mention was still there then. I cant remember his christian name but he must have been late 30's then, might have been David? He was a member at Ardeer Golf Club and was quite a good golfer if I remember.
