Just had a look at this thread as I used to go to Silverdale, but earlier. I left in 1971 but was interested to see which teachers were still there. I was in Mr Horn's (Baggy/Honk/et al) form. We regularly used to fall out. On one occassion I poured weed killer over his plant cuttings on the window ledge. Not a very nice thing to do as he did these to raise money for the RSPCA I think. It seemed OK at the time because he had wound me up so much. Word got around and someone grassed me up so, needless to say, I was in big trouble. He wanted to cane me but I wasn't having any of that and I stormed out of the school. Having had a few days off playing truant he sent word to me via some friends that if I came back nothing would be said. He went up in my estimation a bit for that.

 

On another occassion I turned his 'passwords' to the back of the board. You know, one of those boards on rollers (don't know if they were still in use during your time). Anyway, I chucked loads of things up so they wedged at the top. When he pulled on the board to get the passwords to the front, all this gear spilled out from the top and landed at his feet. There was the board rubber, a plastic cup, some yoghurt pots and the board compasses. The whole prank worked really well. Hope I didn't deter him from teaching passwords to you lot.

 

Although I thought how stupid these passwords were at the time, I now believe them to be very useful and can remember loads of them. Sometimes we would spread the word that no-one in the class should answer when he asked for the definition to one of them, especially if it was French next with Mr Firth (Fritz). They had classrooms next to each other and it was no secret that they disliked each other. Several times Fritz came round to see why we were so late for his class.

 

Ah, happy memories!!!!!!

 

I occassionally see Baggy in the area where I live - in fact the last time was four days ago.

 

Incidentally, the yoghurt pots mentioned above were what he used to grow his cuttings in. Pupils would take them into him from home in return for house points (1 yoghurt pot = 1 house point).

Good old Pinhead and that little red biscuit tin she had - someone put it on bricks once!!

 

Used to be in Mr Wainwright's form - there was always a Monday discussion on Wednesday's performance - you had to like footie if you were in his form!

 

Pinhead retired about 4 years ago, i think teaching finally cracked her after getting attacked by a cardboard sheep..

I attended Silverdale school or perhaps it should have been called 'the wild west' between 1959 and 1963 does anyone else remember the antics that went on at this place of education?

[Redrio]

Who remembers the school that was opened in the late fifties early sixties as an overspill school to accommodate the new crop of baby boomers. This school also boasted I believe a very interesting cast of teachers and to some degree students. Would be interested to hear from folks who were there in that time frame.
