Dazz1 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi - there are some earlier posts over the last few years from pupils from the 1960s and 1970s - does anyone have any memories or tales of Mr Mike Short, biology teacher? He was my grandfather though unfortunately died quite young and i was never able to meet him - it would be really good to know any tales about him. Im aware he was quite strict - all and any stories would be much appreciated! Many thanks! Hello, my name is tracy and I was in Mr short's form All through lower school from 1972' he was so strict but I liked him as none of the boys showed off and everyone respected him. He could be quite unexpectedly funny and he did eat a maggot for us, we were all in disgust, but it was funny. He liked me because I liked the fundraising activities and was always nice to me prob because I was scared of him. It was funny once when a boy was showing off and he said right you don't leave this room until you've come up with a new colour! It was a small world because a few years later I got a job at husband and co and was friends with Karen and Julie. Karen was his daughter and a secretary there, I thought she was sooo sophisticated. I'm remember her saying she had a little sister called Suzanne. Not seen Karen since 1980 I think. Please say hi if all this adds up to you, would love to meet up. I think Mr short died in 1979 fr too young xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a good word for him, in fact he was one of the reasons i started wagging school, he was a bully. He is still mentioned amongst some of my friends to this day who also attended King Ecgberts. He was to quick with his fist behind closed doors. He was quick tempered so the name short suited him. At least if Mr Salway was to punish a pupil he would have good reason, and that included the cane if needed.

chiquita Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You said there was only one male teacher, but I remember Mr Solway too...science teacher, black hair, glasses and very pale..... ---------- Post added 16-03-2015 at 10:54 ---------- My daughter went to King Ecberts in 1962, left in 1968. I know that she would love to read the article about Miss Coates, is it possible for me to obtain a copy for her ?. Cynthia, Ontario, Canada. Hi, I went to King Ecgbert from 1958 to 1965 - I think.... I married in 1967 and moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I remember loads of teachers and school mates....Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatrajah Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Does anyone remember Elizabeth Sharpe? I think she was in the same year as Yvonne Chappell. She probably left in 1965/66 or 1967/8 if she stopped on for A-levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
