Hello Neil Benson, You do not seem to have strayed far from home. I heard you were a newspaper editor these days following in your dads footsteps. There is a a great black hole from 66 onwards, I think we were caught up in the transition from Grammar to comprehensive and people and mementos were not kept. Take care

Just returned home from the Class of 54 Xmas lunch and must thank everyone concerned for the friendly reception we received. It was almost as if we had just reached the end of term.Special thanks to Philip who was responsible for the shindig, which was much enjoyed.We hope to be able to attend some more of the Thursday lunches, although finding parking-space was not easy and getting out of Sheffield at 4p.m. was a nightmare!It really was good to see people I had not seen for 45(oh crikey, seeing it written down makes me feel old!)years. I can recommend it to anyone who can make it in the future.Merry Christmas to allBarbara

It is a snowy day in Kingston and since I visit the site every two or three months this seemed a good time. Not much else to do! What a delight to see that two more stalwarts from the 1950 intake have found the CGS site. I remember you both very well. It is great to see that both Marcus and Peter have had eventful careers. I enjoyed reading your contributions to the site.I have seen "Death of a Princess" but I admit that I did not read the credits. A fabulous documentary Peter, well done. As I recall, Marcus wanted to be a journalist from form 1 and by golly he made it in grand style.Regards Ken Rose

To all ex-pupils of Class of '54 to '59 /'61The Xmas lunch at Wetherspoons on 8th December 2005 will commence at 1.30 pm for 2.00 kick-off and is now officially booked, initially for 20 persons and I already have 19 on the list so space is getting tight. However have spoken with W'spoons and they can fit in a further one or two so if you wish to attend please call me either at home on 01246 - 414923 or e-mail me. The cost is £12.50 which includes a two course traditional Xmas Fayre Menu, plus a glass or two to drink, coffee & a tip for the staff.Last year's do was highly successful, hence the reason everyone who attended have re-booked for this year's bash.The entrance to Wetherspoons is right opposite the top side entrance to John Lewis's or as we all know it, Cole Bros., in Cambridge Street.Payment in full is required when booking to avoid having to sort out loads of cash on the day. Waiting to hear from anyone who is still interested. i.e. Barbara Johnson, nee Jenkins !!Anyone who is a veggie, please advise accordinglyKind Regards,Philip Wright.

We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at Noon for lunch at 12.30 and reservations are not required. Any old pupils from that year are made more than welcome and all that is necessary is for you just to turn up. There are normally about 10 of us on average but not necessarily the same ones each month. We look forward to seeing any one of you when we next meet on August 11th.Kind Regards to Alan Lomax.

I have enjoyed revisitng the site and reading all the messages.I especially enjoyed reading Henry Hinchcliffe's Memories. Although I was 2 years above him, what he says about the various teachers and they way they taught us was oh so true and brought back so many memories.If you read this Henry, my sister, Mary Cousins, passed away at her home in the Algarve at the age of 50. We both had piano lessons with Mr Taylor's fiance, Myra Loewe, and had a love of finding the hidden tune. We duetted on two pianos as well as played solo.If anyone else reads this who remembers me, please get in touch.

Really enjoyed browsing the site, although there seems to be a black hole where the pictures and reminiscences of the 1966-73 crowd should be.There have been several reunions, organised by Ray Potts and always convening at the Dog & Partridge, Trippet Lane. Regulars include Marie Stead (nee Braddock), Rob Twigg, Diane Hurst and Christine Stringfellow. At the back end of April, Andy Bott made a guest appearance, all the way from his long-time home in Rio. I'll forward some pictures.Well done Ray on being the focal point for some great nights.

At the risk of being a bore, and of slighly less concern, embarrasing J.R.Y. I also seem to remember that the afore-mentioned scientist took up gardening as an alternative to P.E. This was because his stated aim in games was to make the grass turn yellow under his boots! His rural studies task was to plant crocus(i?) onthe front lawn of the new school. Another mistake!

Further to the story by J.R.Y.(A.K.A Fungus)my recollections of the story about the accumulators and the fire differ in respect of motive.(although I think it occurred in 1963 so I may be a little mixed up). As I understand it J.R.Y., Mel Heald and others connected the accumulators and rheostats in order to make an electric chair from one of the old metal and canvas chairs.I also believe that they attempted to"persuade" one Peter? Scott to test it out. The result of this "scientific " experiment was that "Harry" separated these would-be executioners and isolated them into a"high security" registration group called "Delta 4A" based in the library! Not a clever move! It was like turning the library into Parkhurst -or should that be Rampton!

I could never get the hang of these computer things; what I wanted to say, before I pressed the wrong button in my previous message was congratulations to Alan for his wonderful new website and hello to all my old school chums, but more especially to deny the foul rumours extant in 1963 that I set fire to the Physics Lab (P1) on purpose. It was an accident – honestly – Mel Heald will back me up! What really happened was that it was a very cold winter’s day and we connected all the accumulators and rheoststats together to create a bit of warmth and – well the next thing was that the lab bench just seemed to be on fire. It was only one end of the wretched bench actually! “Harry” (Mr Harvatt) seemed to believe me at the time. Since then however, my nephew, Daniel Riddington Young, who still lives in Sheffield has evidently met someone who asked him if he was any relation to the arsonist R.Y. who burned down the CGS Chemistry labs (note the plural) in the 50s. So much for “Omnes Amici”! I hope this clears the matter up once and for all!

Hi Robert,The text below is taken from the www.omnesamici.co.uk website. J.S. Robinson taught at the school from 1944 to 1947Mr. Robinson In December, Mr. Robinson left us to take up the post of Senior Science Master at the Hemel Hempstead Grammar School. He came to Sheffield in the spring of 1944 and into this comparatively short time he has crammed a remarkable amount of activity and he has left his mark on many aspects of School life. There is no need to remind readers of the Holly Leaf of the hard work he as done as business manager since the critical time when the magazine was revived in particularly difficult circumstances. He readily accepted the responsibility of arranging the Christmas parties and, in co-operation with Mr. McIver, he undertook the reorganization of the boys' dining arrangements. When we consider that, at the same time, a thorough reorganisation of the Physics course throughout the School has been undertaken, it is doubly surprising that Mr. Robinson could always find time to help with special socials and other activities. Old students often express their appreciation of the extremely effective training in Physics which they received under Mr. Robinson. Zulu-Rivelin will be sorry to lose an enthusiastic Housemaster. Finally, we are grateful for the way in which his skill as a photographer has been placed at the service of the School and has provided records of many School functions. From the time of his arrival, Mr. Robinson has expressed himself eloquently in praise of all things (or nearly all) connected with Sheffield and the School. It began with the policeman whom he met near the station on the day of his arrival. The School will miss his drive and enthusiasm, and the Staff will miss his subtle humour, but we know his heart is in the London district and we wish him happiness in his new post.

A Big Hello to all old friends, please note a new email address as I have now taken early retirement from the railway after 33 years service. However the idle life only lasted for a few weeks before I started work as a car delivery driver, I now get to drive a great variety of different vehicles from new to several years old with free fuel and even get paid as well. So if you see a white haired and bearded wreck at the side of the road with Trade Plates, the red and white number plates, hitching a lift you never know it might be me.Very saddened to hear that we have lost Megan, I was looking forward to seeing her at one of the reunions.Be seeing you all as soon as I can get to another lunchtime meeting.TTFN

To Jaspar Utley Thank you for taking the trouble to advise us all about the sad loss of your wife, Megan Croxen on the 4th January. It is indeed a blow to us and I am sure that I speak on behalf of all of us in Megan's year at City Grammar School that our very deepest sympathy goes to yourself, and also to your two Daughters Rebecca and Rachel. Whilst we do not know you any of you personally, we feel that due to Megan's efforts to write to the omnesamici website about her life since leaving school that we have become to know quite a bit about you all. Megan was the life and sole of the school and since we have all met up again after all these years,fully expected Megan to just turn up one day at one of our reunions. We have all talked about her both before she "found" us and since, saying how vibrant she was at school. Megan was not only clever, but attractive and a lovely personality and willingly joined in any activity that was going. Megan had everything! I just thought that you ought to know this. Tomorrow a small number of us from Megan's year will be lunching together in Sheffield and it goes without saying that a toast will be made to a very dear absent friend.Should you have to visit Sheffield anytime, please do take the trouble to tell us beforehand as I am sure that we would all like to meet you.Yours sincerely,Philip Wright.

MEGAN CROXEN (UTLEY)Deepest sympathy to Jaspar/family and sincere condolences on the death of Megan. Everone at City Grammar loved Megan. I last saw and spoke to her, very briefly, in the 1960s when we passed each other on the escalators at St Pancras underground station in London - she was on the way from Hong Kong, I think; I was on the way to see friends in London. This sad news is utterly devastating. What a pity she was unable to attend last year's reunion. Paul Clarke

Help wanted please about my father.Any information about Colin Vaughan who attended Sheff Central Secondary School from 1928 to 1934. He went on to become an internationally known Chess Problemist and I would like any information about his schooling and early chess. A quote from his records reads......"in my 6th year at school I became unbeatable, even by the teacher who ran the weekly chess club. I played first board in the chess team against other local schools......a notable success was in a home match against Woodhouse Grammar".Are there any records of this chess club, or the teacher who ran it, or any other chess records of who he played for and where, after he left school and went into the research lab of a large Sheffield Steel Works and studied at night school for about 8 years to get his Sheffield Uni degree in Metallurgy? I believe that the nightschool may have been at Abbeydale Road School.

Any City Grammar ex-pupil interested in sponsoring my mad escapadeIn January, at nearly 67, in the old tradition of City Grasmmar,I will attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Starting off on the lower rain forested slopes, I will spend seven days slowly climbing and acclimatising, making my way to the glazier covered summit at 19,340 ft.Every foot of the mountain I climb, every blister I get, every shallow breath I puff and every degree below zero that I can endure at night will be worth all the effort because I will be putting myself through it all in aid the Cavendish Centre and the Macmillan Cancer Relief. I know from personal experience what a wonderful service both these organisations provide to cancer sufferers and their families and really what I am doing is very minor compared to the challenge cancer sufferers face each day. We are all working towards the day when everyone will have ready access to information, treatment and care for cancer.If you feel you can support me for either of these organisations please drop me a cheque made payable to The Cavendish Centre or The Macmillan Cancer Relief, to my home address 9 Swanbourne Road Sheffield S5 7TJ, or even better my web site www.justgiving.com/price which allows tax to be reclaimed.Many thanks Pete Price Pupil 1949 - 54

I hope the New Old Students' Association ("New Holly Guild"? - sounds a bit too like 'New Labour' perhaps) reformation meeting went well last night. Congratulations to all who took part in organising this. Hope to hear more about it and see photographs etc. Could not attend because I was singing Mozart and Haydn masses in Sheffield Cathedral with Sheffield Bach Society!! All the best to all. Paul Clarke (1954 - 1961)PS. Nice to see that Chris Linskill has made contact at last.PPS. I paid for life membership of the Holly Guild in about 1963 but heard very little more - who's run off with the money? (And can we get it back??)

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!i have just had a conversation witha gentleman who has got to be the oldest person I have ever spoken to regarding the Old Students AssociationHis name is Samuel Glen Walker and he is 90 and in amazing form. He dates from the old Pupil Teachers Centre 1924 and he is hoping to be with us on the 16th, His wife was also there and she was actually teaching at My old junior School (Walkley) when I was there. he has just told me that one of his extra-curricular activities was to deliver notes from Mr Goodfellow to his young lady in Norton. Anybody know who she was?Mr Walker also taught at greenhill SChool in the pre-and post war periods and was latterly at Brook Shool until retirement in 1970sAnybody remember him from those days?

I was watching the Traffic Cop programme on television last night to see if there was anywhere I could recognise. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the Pheonix is still in use by the successors to City Grammar. School uniform is a bit different now though, green polo shirts with the red pheonix. What would Harvard have had to say about that?

Class of 1950 to 1958. Fond memories of unpleasant but cheap frozen lollipops on Orchard Lane and the character building outside toilets! Life influencing teachers were Dick Withinton, Mr Bailey, Mr Thomson and the dreaded Mr Callister. Anybody remember Mr Testa? Were you in the camera club too? Claim to fame - first skiffle group in the school with John Sutherst, Henry Hinchcliffe, Jeff Kelly and Gordon Delamore. I'm still playing music, but don't play rugby any more. My feet still smell from those black plimsolls at the YMCA, and I still can't climb a rope properly. Anybody know where Joan Huckerby is?This is a superb website - better than most commercial websites I use. Congratulations. Will be getting in touch with my old soul mates in the near future.

Good heavens, that's ME standing next to Hazel,looking at Russ Conway's purple Rolls! (It WASpurple, wasn't it?) What fun to see so manyfamiliar faces! It must have been an awful lotof work to scan all the photos but I can wellimagine the pleasure it's given everyone. Ithink I made a point of being absent for all theposed photos so I don't have to cringe like someof you lot!I've lived in the US since 1967 and was last inSheffield when my then-fiance Jim and I stayedfor three days on the way to Edinburgh to bemarried on Hogmanay, 1986. (Because Jim is veryabsent-minded and I wanted to be sure he wouldremember our anniversary. It works.) My father was landlord of the Prince of Wales onDivision Street until we moved to Walkley in1955--we'll say no more about the transformationof the pub, although the "Roger and Out" lived upto its reputation! The rest of the time was verypleasantly spent in a "show and tell" tour forJim, including the old school, of course. Ishowed Jim the moors (where I used to ride quitea bit) and dragged him down a lead mine inCastleton! The US may have its awe-inspiringGrand Canyon and soaring Rocky Mountains but ithas nothing to compare with the moors on afreezing grey day with rain like sharp needlesflying horizontally!Who would have thought I'd end up here in aCharleston suburb, looking out at tropicalflowers, palm trees and Spanish moss-draped oaktrees, complaining about the heat and humidity(described by the local met guy as"armor-piercing"), wondering if we'll get ahurricane this year and have to worry aboutalligators from the nearby reservoir washing upon the garden! Yes, it's definitely a long way from Fef'sclassroom all those years ago, and I'd be happyto hear from anyone who remembers me.Best to all,Hilary

Thoroughly enjoyed todays monthly reunion lunch for the Class of '54 (to '59/'61) The number who now turn up each month is slowly growing ... 12 today, and this didn't include two of the regulars who would normally attend. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month at Noon upstairs in Wetherspoons which is opposite the top side entrance to Cole Bros. in Cambridge Street. (sorry, now John Lewis's, all these changes, it's difficult for us oldies to keep up) The 12 today included(in no particular order) :- Chris Brown,"the Elder", Val Duckworth, Sandra Day, Jeanette Attwood (Aston) & Eric Aston, Mary Anderson, Ann Marriott, Barbara Pagdin, Anne Breakwell, Bernard Cooper, Joan Martin, (who was very apprehensive as it was her first reunion since school, but thoroughly enjoyed it), and myself.Make a date in your diary for next month. No need to book, just turn up.Keep up the good work Alan, it's you we all have to thank for providing us with the facility of putting us in touch with one another.Kind Regards to all.

Hi Everyone,It's that annoying secretary again - First of all A BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have contributed in any way to the Reunion - just by getting in touch with Chris or Philip or myself, however briefly, or by actually attending last Saturday and making the evening such a success, I really, really enjoyed it so much. I also enjoyed reading everyone's "autobiography" and that brings me to my next point - how much more information do you want from us (me)? If you were at the "DO" you will have received a copy of the Who's Who, but I also have a list of Contact Details for almost everyone we have "discovered", could you contact me if you would like a copy (stating email or snail mail preference) please.If you weren't at the DO, perhaps you could let me know if you want to receive YOUR copy of the Who's Who by email or snail mail and also whether you would also like a copy of the Contact List.Those of you who have seen the Who's Who and would like to alter/update/ or withdraw their entry, please let ME know that also. Trying to cover every eventuality, some people were actually late in handing in their "homework" (nothing new there then!) and if you would like a copy of the (up to now) COMPLETE Who's Who by email, also please get back to me. You've already heard from Chris that we hope to do this on an annual basis from now on, I'm all in favour and will keep the Who's Who going with that in mind, so the above paragraph is particularly important for those of you who didn't hand in their homework at all! Once again many many thanks to all of you - I so enjoyed seeing you all or hearing from you and it made me feel good to think we had put so many of you in touch with YOUR old friends from school. I look forward to hearing from ALL of you soon,Luv, Val (Valerie Duckworth) Stokes

Absolutely excellent reunion on Saturday last. Thanks to all the organisers, especially the indefatigable, irreplaceable and uncounterfeitable Chris Brown (she doesn't need an identity card as she's absolutely unique and no amount of stored biometric information could do her justice)!!Great to see everyone. Amazed how young we all look (though stomachs were firmly pulled in for the male line-up)!I've loads of digital photos if anyone would like them (can post on CD - tried to email but too big for my server to handle)!!! Yes, folks, some of these photos are too hot even for the internet (wow)! See you all soon.Paul

I have just heard of the site through joining Saga Circles. It has been a nostalgic trip through time, seeing the faces of the teachers I knew so long ago. I was at CGS from 1948 to 1953, but am unable to find a group photo of my classmates. If there is anyone reading this who knew me, please get in touch, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

What a superb site! Just been told about it by my brother, also a former pupil of CGS. I remember many of the names I have found on the site and would love people to e-mail me.I was there 1954 - 1962. I will certainly be getting in touch with anyone who has provided an e-mail address. Unfortunately I have a prior commitment on 24 April.Hope the site goes from strength to strength.

CGS 1954 - 1959. Finally arrived in the land of the living. Now on e-mail and look forward to hearing from anyone still around from the '50's. Looking forward to the Golden Re-union of the Class of '54 - '59/'61 on Sat 24th April, to be held at the Three Horseshoes Hotel in Wickersley. I understand that all those attending will be supplied with a name badge with large lettering and that there is also plenty of parking space for zimmer frames !! Within the last week the small band of private investigators working on the case have tracked down Ann Marriott, Janet Oscroft, Kay Clarke, Linda Clayton, Janet Turner, Megan Croxon & John Melvin which now makes a total to date of 42 who will be attending plus many spouses / partners. Only a further 101 to find now. Any 'spots' of info that you may have, no matter how old, especially any girl's married name, may just help to locate those still missing (but not presumed dead)! Please either e-mail the CGS Website, Christine Brown, Valerie Duckworth or myself or 'phone 01246 414923 (Home) or 0114 273 9977 (Work). I shall be delighted to hear from you.

I went to the school from January 1939 to February 1942 (but was evacuated the first year of the war, September '39 to June '40). My family went to live in York in 1942, later settled in Bradford. I loved the school. I found this website by typing in on google the name of my best schoolfriend, Dennis Scorah. I later found other sites for the school, including two photos, one of our teachers and one of Mr. Thompson (our Latin teacher)'s rambling party in front of the youth hostel at Hawick. I recognized many people on the photo (including myself). Fond memories. I came to America just 50 years ago and have lived here ever since. I used to get back to England often, less so now. I often wonder what happened to my old friends. Would be glad to hear from some of you. Leo

I'm sitting bored in my office, it's 31C outside and I came across this site entirely by accident. I was blown over by the content and the memories it brought back.I was at the school from 1966 to 1973. I went to Durham University, and then Aston University until '79. After moving and working around in different places I came back and worked in the Economic Development Department of the Council from '84 to '92. I then went to South Africa (for a year, but never came back). I'm married, and have an 8 year old daughter. I now run a development consultancy working on international aid projects across Africa. People I remember from school are Alan Broadhead, Paddy Gaynor, Mick Hutchinson, Ray Potts, Phil Butterworth, Alan Phillips, Dave Warhurst, Kath Kavanagh, Janet Crowe. It's been a long time, but if anyone's out there feel free to drop me a line.

1. Mel Hawley: Yes, I tried to email Mel and the email address was incorrect - nice to hear from him if he's still living! (My email address is: paul@upperdenby.org.uk and website: http://www.upperdenby.org.uk)2. The names Newsome and Lockwood are probably mostly derived from locations in the Huddersfield area of Southwest Yorkshire. I know a lot of people from that area (living as I do about 16 miles north of Sheffield and 10 miles south of Huddersfield). Lockwood is a very common name round here and there's an inner-city suburb of Huddersfield called Lockwood (also a railway station of the same name). The Lockwoods I know are intensely musical people (does this help the enquirer from the USA)? Newsome is also a quite common name - again Newsome is an inner-city suburb of Huddersfield and I'd guess that many people having the name Newsome originally came from the Huddersfield area. The man to contact if you want any information on the origin of surnames in the UK is Professor David Hey of Sheffield University. He's pubished various books on the topic and is a prominent local historian. A web search will find him. I've enjoyed many a lecture given by him - a local man, from a humble background near Penistone, a few miles from my home, and still very down-to-earth and approachable!

I have searched these pages for the past 6 months and find them wonderfully compelling. What a great time . I'm pleased to see the messages from David Connley and the recent one from Mike Earnshaw.I had to smile when the new page appeared for the 1954 Speech Day at the Victoria Hall.Does anyone remember the one or was it a choral concert by the school at the City Hall around 1956 0r 1957 .During the rehearsals for the day , several of the lads voices were breaking and I remember Miss Rolfe was taking the rehearsal. The ensuing noise was so bad she called for Mr Taylor who soon found out the culprits (me included) but we had already been allocated our places. I well remember sitting in the City Hall to the left of the organ - presumably to drown out any noise - with a member of staff at the end of the row and the instructions that we had to mouth the words but under no circumstances were we to sing ! Can anyone else remember this ? Regards all.

I was very sorry to learn of the death of Bernard Fuller - see recent announcement.He was one of the very best teachers at City Grammar in the good old Orchard Lane days. His genuine enthusiasm for modern languages was infectious and he was one of the people who made my time at City Grammar both a pleasure and a privilege. I can still remember some of his lessons quite clearly. Had him as form master when in class 4A (1957-8).He really enjoyed teaching and he clearly liked the children he taught. He lost a leg in WW2 and was clearly a courageous man. His disability was barely noticeable (I remember marvelling at how well he danced). One wonders whether such excellet teachers still exist nowadays. Does anybody have any further information about Bernard Fuller (where he went after CGS, what he did in retirement, etc.)? He lived on Rupert Road, Nether Edge, I think - whilst at CGS.Regards to all.Paul Clarke (1954-1961)PS. This may sound odd, but I still view the time spent at City Grammar as just about the best and happiest days of my life (mustn't say any more, in case my wife and family read this and are highly offended)!

1968-73,I had a great time at school, unfortunately not too much studying or trying too hard, just having a laugh, happy days. I was lucky though and got a sponsored place on a degree course anyway. Saw John Beanes doing business course at Sheff Poly and once bumped into Dave burkinshaw and Alan Timperley on Tinsley golf course. Alan was working for Leigh environmatla aka SARP at Norwood near Rother Valley. Bob Harper is our local parish councillor and I think still works for BT. Apparently Martin Whittaker lives in my village, but I've never seen him, perhaps I would not recognise him. Andrew Brown also lives in the Village. I think he has a picture of Dorian Grey in the loft. He has not changed or apparently aged. He was instantly recognisable. I have never seen any of the girls from our school year in Sheffield, though.Bye,John

What a fantastic night we 49ers had on Friday. A great big thank you to Jean and her friends for organising the reunion. There must have been a lot of hard work involved. The venue was just right; the buffet delicious; the atmosphere very friendly and the name labels & word sheets were very impressive. It's hard to imagine that almost half a century has passed since many of us last met. A lot of water has flowed under many bridges and in many diverse directions.It was wonderful to meet and talk with Miss Thorold and Mr Curtis. Thank you again Jean for having the idea and seeing it all come to fruition.

My proposal for a re-union this year has been received with great enthusiasm but as I am not very familiar with suitable venues in Sheffield I am asking for some help in this department.I have suggested that a date in September or October might be a good time so shall look forward to some responses to this idea.I had a long chat with Sylvia Cheetham and also Harry Wake today.Does anyone know where Kay Hammond is?--Will post a full list of all contacts on my next appearance--watch this space!!!!!!

G'day Alan (and all you other wonderful bald, wrinkled geriatric old farts),What a magic web-site, I stumbled upon it in the early hours of yesterday. I was all geared up to do some comet spotting when the clouds rolled in. Sleep wasn't an option so I tried a Google Search to see if any of my relatives had done anything memorable (or otherwise) that I wasn't aware of.Scanning down the result set was one which included Roger Brown, Roy Cutts, Roger Naylor, Richard Weston, Geof Vintin. It didn't connect at first, I just thought bugger me, what a coincidence, in a previous life I went to school with guys with similar names.Then it hit me, I mean really hit me. I've been through all the photographs (and unashamedly the whole spectrum of emotions). I guess this sort of thing affects ex-pats the most. I left heffield in 1972 and have been travelling ever since. I've worked in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Caledonia and I thought that I had forgotten my roots. Finding your web-site was like a bungee cord around my testicles which snapped me back 40 years. It's amazing how 7 years of City Grammar are so deeply ingrained and how clicking the appropriate button can bring all those memories flooding back. Does anyone remember the REAL school song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", sung incoherently in The Athol to the accompaniment of Norman at the piano after copious amounts of Black Velvet and Rum and Blackcurrant ? (It wouldn't surprise me if no-one does, I had great difficulty remembering anything that happened in the Athol on the morning after).Love and best wishes to everyone.Roy.p.s. I've enclosed a recent mug-shot for the rogues gallery.

I have just returned home to the Isle of Wight from a two week visit "up north" to Sheffield where I met up with Val Monney,Anne Habeshaw,Terry Reaney and a very surprised David Stocks who had a visit from Anne and myself at his place of work. We also made contact by phone with Sylvia Nichols and Ivan Greensmith and are on the trail of several others all still in Sheffield. My number of "discoveries" so far is 18.So--anyone out there, former pupils of the 1949 intake year-please get in touch,I'm hoping for a re-union some time this year and then again in 2004--a Golden Jubilee!!Whilst in Sheffield I rang John Highfield Editor of the contact column in The Star--he is most interested and I am sending information to him which he has agreed to publish in the Saturday column--this will hopefully result in more contacts, will visit this page again soon--watch this space!!!

Alan, thanks for the great memories! I went to City Grammar from 59-64. In 98 I went through the old school with my good friend, Doug Riley, who was at City Grammar with me. It was great! I will keep looking on your site to find other pics and friends. I've missed not being able to keep in touch with people! Internet is terrific. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, Bill

I was there from 55 to 59, two years behind my "big Sister" Mavis. She has lived in the states since 64 but has found an old classmate living ninety miles away thanks to this site. Have an embarrasing picture of the lads from my class taken just before we left. Will dig it out and email it one of these days. Keep up the good work!

The website gets better and better! I wonder if anyone is in touch with any former teachers as it occurs to me that some of them might have taken photos when we left the building. I recognise the photos of Dianne and me in Paris, as I have copies. We are now in touch again after 33 years. Anyway keep it up, it's great! Joyce
