Hello NoFats I think what happened was we had a teacher for one term ie to Christmas then we had a different teacher for the next 2 terms to July. My old school report( which I have just "dug up" from the loft) seems to bare this out. Dec 54 signed Miss Wade July 55 signed by Mossy.

Terry who I did pal around with after leaving school came from Richmond but lived at Darnall when he was first married just off Staniforth Rd.

Lurpak...mmmmm

Lurpak to you too!!

Sorry PD have to disgree, they were probably the most exciting objects in that room. With all the daydreaming and boredom in room 4, I mean ever tried playing the recorder and really and getting in to Dear Ken John Peel...not easy if you know what I mean!

 

Hi Crusty bread - sorry I didn't seem to find the busts exciting, but I enjoyed music!! We didn't get to play any instruments though, so that must have come after I had started that school, but Ken John Peel leaves a lot to be desired doesn't it? how exciting! Seems you were in my sisters years but I don't remember her playing a recorder either, maybe I'm wrong - sure she'll put me right on that one!!

Hi there PD music was quite a big part of our school day seeing as we started everyday with a hymn or two and Mr Glasby on the grand piano in the hall. To this day certain hymn might be on tv or on a rare visit to church if a hymn we sang at school comes on I`m there in my mind. Memory test now "Breath on me breath of god fill me with life a new". where did that come from! I think it must have been my favourite.

Hi CB, I always think of school when I hear or sing, Lord they word abideth, or Who would true valour see. Funny isn't it how certain tunes bring back various memories of the past? Cheers, PD

Dear Ken John Peel ? It's Do you Ken. dear, dear. Think yourself lucky Glasby is not around ! I've seen him push one of those huge blackboard on wheels, right across the classroom in temper.

 

You are right about the music of course, he was an enthusiast and I think engendered a lasting appreciation of classical music. I still can't listen to the Sorccerer's Apprentice without remembering his explanation ( and of course his fiddling with the needles )

 

It is also very true regarding school music generally. I still love those glorious old hymns that we used to sing at assembley, the last one we sang on the afternoon we left for good was, The Day thou Givest Lord is Ended.

 

Do you remember The Trout and Where the Bee Sucks, a la Glasby ?
