Before closing, we take this opportunity of wishing our fellow
school mates the best of luck in their coming exams, and to those who
won’t be back next year, all the best for the future.
TEACHERS, please note :—
To err is human
To forgive divine.

FORM 4 A2
We are the inhabitants of Room 16 on the first floor and occupy an
elevated position (the stage). Our Form teacher is Miss Nixon and
the captain is Valerie Harris, who sometimes manages to keep order.
Our class likes holidays. Friday afternoons and Geography lessons. We
dislike homework. Chemistry problems and Maths. We are only a small
class of thirteen, but we contain many famous (as well as notorious)
personalities. Our star is Trevor Neibling, who excels at Maths., is a
good cricketer and footballer, and is Drum Major in the Cadet Band.
Lynn Aberdeen is the intellect of the class and he has been to
Paris. Bob Wyeth plays football as does Barry Mitchell, who spends
most of his time in snatching forty winks (perhaps it is too much
study).
David Banney is a tennis star, while Jeffrey Horsburgh is a champion
hurdler. Bob Gray and Peter Newland spend their spare time doing
detention, while Kevin Webb and Ivan Dunleavy concentrate on dodging
hard work. Of the fairer sex there are only three. Valerie Harris
comes top and her favourite saying is “keep quiet”. Stephanie Smart
was born in Bengal, learns ballet, and breeds guinea pigs. Barbara
Webb paints pictures of scenic Birkdale. These are the historians of
1958 signing off, wishing fellow candidates in the forthcoming examina
tions every success and pleasing results, and thanking our teachers for
the help they have given us in the past year.

FORM 4B
We of 4B think that we are a most industrious class, but most of
our teachers do not share this view. Dusters,rulers and chalk have
been thrown at us by indignant science teachers and some of the names
we have been called are unprintable, but it is not our fault that we
fail to understand specific heat or the horrible things called chemical
sums.
Our room is number 16. You are bound to have heard the noise
that we make, but we mostly use the detention room after school. Our
thanks go to Mr. Perry for this brilliant idea. We share room 16 with
4 A2 and 4D and they are a very noisy crowd, especially the girls. But
the poor little innocents of 4B always gets blamed for the unruly din.
Our Form teacher is Miss Nixon who endeavours to teach us
English. We realise that we are rude vexing laddies and naughty
scalliwags, and should be smacked.
We have eleven members in the Cadet Unit. Rendell Brown is a
drummer and Sandy Macaulay is a piper. In the athletic field we were
represented by Ernie Pascoe, who was the under 16 champion, and
John Webb who came third in the cross-country race. Ron Sharp and
Trevor Mischlewski also did well on sports day.
Our top boys are Richard Hoare, Sandy Macaulay, Brian Austin.
and David Haxton.
