Wakefields words (1970-1975)

 

mmmmmmm………. Memories of Thorpe Grammar school ( Circa.1975)

 

For anyone who got scolding hot nitric acid on their face during a Chemistry lesson you might think memories of TGS might be all bad. That is not necessarily true.

 

I can also remember being chased by Paul Cheatham with a Technical Drawing compass. A fight with Stephen Murphy over a crash helmet and being chased during the infamous trip to Whitby by a bunch of Northern yobs.

 

Just who was it who was sick on the bus back to school following lunchtime drinking session on the Lowestoft trip? And what was the point of the trip anyway?

 

Was it Jeremy Coolley who got the Javelin through his foot and caused much consternation to the school secretaries for bleeding outside the Headmasters study?

 

Mark Murray. Used to smoke for England. Has he given up yet?
