Clive Davis, yeah i remember him his dad was also a bus driver if i remember right. yep i left in 72. Dont know if anyone will remember me kept myself to myself for the most part, my name is Kevin Hadden, some of the other names i can remember apart from Alan Hill are, Joy Haddon (no relation different spelling) Hyasynth Mitchell (sp) Pete Stonehouse, a girl named Morley cant remember her first name we used to call her spiderlegs. Ill see if i can think of anyone else. I hated football and tennis, I played rugby for the school and Basketball (Hurlfield Globetrotters)lol.

hiya cdtiman yeah lynn thats it, no i dont recall "crack" there was a lad who`s dad had a pub on the norfolk park estate i think he was Scottish might be the same lad !!.

Another girl i seem to remember was called Kim but again dont know her surname either, and i cant think of the name of the lad she went out with he was in our class too.

I cant remember much about school cos i hated every minute of it,so i just did what i had to do and got out as quick as possible.

Lennonman.

The memories came flooding back when I knew your name. Sorry, but the nickname for a well known brand of dog food came flooding into the grey matter. A lot of my friends came from your class. Wasn't Raymond Connelly in it. And there was a Julie Moxon, who lived near me, before the boot houses were demolished (the ones below Prince Ed. School). Julie went to live at Handsworth (she was married to somebody called Spencer). Steven Wragg too was in it or was he? He was Claypole's cuz and he married Marie Wood. They dated at school and a few years later (after leaving) married. I think they are now divorced. Sadly Raymond and his elder brother Steven are no longer with us I understand and it seems they both died from incidents with knives.
