mikeG Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 ... and there am I - 1959 input, class 4GL, front row, fourth from right - complete with hair.. I remember the form master. We used to call him Lucy Lockett. Can't remember why. You and I were at the school at the same time, but presumably only the one term as I left in December 1959.

hillsbro Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi mikeG - Brian "Lucy" Lockett is still going strong at 80 and lives at Sandygate. You'll remember some more members of staff that I knew such as Edgar L. (Elvis) Vernon, 1903-1992, Harry "Trotsky" Redston, 1892-1982, Hector "Twiff" Twyford, 1900-1975 and of course "Fat Nat" - Nathaniel Langford Clapton, 1903-1967. I hated the place when I was there, but I'm glad I went... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangerthe6 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I noticed on the old edwardians site that Arthur "Flink" Jackson died in December aged 95. He used to terrify me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated the place when I was there, but I'm glad I went... I didn't like it much either but it got me 10 'O' levels then I was off. My form master 1955/6 was Billy Effron who was pretty ancient and lived out at Moscar. Used to get the number 44 bus home. Other form masters were 'Tug' Wilson, 'Tom' Taylor, 'Fred' Hetherington' and George Lair. We used to take the micky out of Shorty Burns but he got tough and started using the cane - so we stopped. I, too noticed the Jackson had died aged 95. Billy Effon was a clever bloke. He taught us Geography but was qualified to teach French and maybe Spanish as well.

hillsbro Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I didn't like it much either but it got me 10 'O' levels then I was off. .Me too - but I also scraped a grade 'E' in A-level Physics. We 1959ers missed out on some real characters - I've heard a lot about Billy Effron (who spent 40 years at KES) and Tug Wilson. Shorty Burns was OK except when he resorted to the cane. An ex-trainspotter, he gave me his 1940s Ian Allan books which I still have. Other favourites of mine were Bert Towers and Olaf Johnston. But they were an odd bunch, those KES masters. Red Fred was hopeless, "Blackjack" Wightman was a sadistic bully and Charlie Baker ended up in prison...... My form master 1955/6 was Billy Effron who was pretty ancient...Yes - a native of Bradford, George Henry Effron died aged 80 in 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
