Eh lads do you remember miss bibby at the 1st year annex, she was hot with those mini skirts she used to wear, what legs!

ah yes Miss Bibby..and I think Mr Hale was the PE teacher.. Mrs Hale, his wife did she teach RE?...was Mr Blackburn one of the metalwork teachers? he was ok but the other one was a pycho...I say that cos one the last day of leaving me and a couple of mates got ****ed on cider in Haworth park, came back and Mr Blackman sent us to see (I think it was Mr Parkinson the deputy head)..who was pretty handy with the cane..but he took one look at us and told us to get lost!

Yes Debbie , I remember Mr Willan, he was a real soft touch all the kids used to tease him. I remember one lad called Gary Parkinson he was the cock of our year, he smashed a chair over Mr Willan. School days eh!our parents were right they are the best days of your life

[suedarbo]

I remember Gary Parkinson. He has a brother called Dave, he was the year above me. Lushy, my maiden name was Oldham. I mated with Elaine Hammond all the way through school and we are still best mates now

Hi Sue i remember both names but its the married name i remember the most did u go to the hynburn sport center alot when you were younger, i was the mad fool doing all the somersaults and bombs wetting all the staff and people on the balcony

RE teacher was Mr. Turpin. He also used to coach Basket Ball!

[Mancie]

came to me that mrs Meals was the RE teacher in my time.. Mr Turpin was some sort of PE teacher...he talked a good job but was **** at footy.

[Stephen Chan]

Turpin was one of the good guys, me seems to remember he was more of a badminton man rather than a footie man.

Hi Sue, hows you?

[suedarbo]

Hiya Stephen, not been on much, I've been ill but am better now..........sort of. I'll send you an email to catch up.

Does anyone remember mrs harrison,the huge accounts teacher who was always eating during class and had the personality of a frying pan! and also the history teacher mr mckeown who liked chucking his board duster around,and who remembers mr wilkinson woodwork teacher with the big nose,he taught at the annex woodwork room which was under the main steps if i remember rightly

Do you remember the headmaster who came after Mr Parkinson? His name was Mr Scott? Or was he the head at the same time, I got the cane off him. Wasn't there a Ms Shuttleworth - english teacher?

[shell220]

I can remember Mr Scott being the deputy head in my time. Icicle works, I started Hollins in 1977 and left in 1982, didn't get moved up to L1 until the second year, was in
L3 in the first year, what was the name of our year tutor, all I remeber was she was some young woman with blonde hair that went on to marry some famous cricketer. I am trying to work out who you are!!! I remember Penny. My best mates were Lynne Broderick, Wendy Beckton and Susan Everett, think they were all in L3

[kestrelx]

I think Mr Parkinson left and then Mr Scott took over, he had a son called Jez Scott who went to Accy Grammar School who wen to teach in USA and died in a motorbike accident, so rumour has it?
