Hiya littlepom, I remember some of the teachers you mention. Glad to see that you got Mr Aspden's name right. If you recall, he was always on about folk calling him Aspin, which really annoyed him. I also remember thinking that the head master Mr Davies spoke funny. Didn't realise at that tender age that he was Welsh!! I remember Mrs Stevenson who took the girls for P T, but I remember her short P T skirt more. I think I had a school boy crush on her. And you are correct, Mrs Neil did take music. I'm afraid I don't remember Mr Hill though, and as for Mr Rothwell, he left an everlasting scar on me, mentaly of course, by the way he treat me after we had sat our 11 plus exam. We took our seats the day after the results were out, and Rothwell said that he would point to us all in turn, and that we had to say "Pass" or "Fail". He pointed to each one of us in turn and waited for an answer, but when he got to me, before I could say anything, he just dismissed me with a wave of his hand and a grunt. I thought that that was an awful way to treat a child, and I have never forgotten it. Although your name rings a bell Marion, and your brothers as well, I can't recall you I'm afraid. I must have left the school in 1957, so you were probably in a class higher than me. My name is Peter Davison and Billy Haworth and Billy Gelder were in my class.
