Paradiddle 145 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Not sure where this photo fits in with Bazzer's 62/63 but it was supplied by Sheila Lancaster and was in the Evening Post on Jan 20th 1998 to celebrate a 50th year for pupils that attended 1959-63. I think this was the year above my 64/65 photo and I recognise some faces but can't be sure of any of the names. I'm sure Bazzer & carni must recognise some of these? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Don't recognise any of those . Barely recognise the teacher , is it Mr Greenwood ? I did go out for a short while with a girl called Christine Ford who was in the year above us (in fact we went to see the Beatles at the Odeon together in 63 !) Can't pick her out here though .

carni 10,094 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was in the G1 band all the way through until leaving school in 1963, but my memory must be failing me because I don't recognise anyone at all. I think at one stage Mr Greenwood was my form teacher, but if that is him, I don't recognise him either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paradiddle 145 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 It looks like Mr Greenwood (wearing a school tie?) and middle of the back row could be Peter Cummings but I don't know where I plucked that name from! I suppose Sheila Lancaster is in there somewhere, could be middle row on the right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Bloody hell now that's a blast from the past, my class just before leaving, I knew Sheila, she's middle row, last girl on right next to Roy Leach, my old school mate.Then Chris Hastings, Will Gardner, I'm in there as well, Jim Welton 3rd from right back row, Peter Downes on his left, Frank Ransom 4th from left middle row, Derek Culley Middle top row, Front row second girl, Mary Marshall, Margaret Thorley, know the other faces but no more names come to me. And yes the dreaded Mr Greenwood our teacher. First boy back row Roger Malinsky I think, and last boy top row Roger Kershaw. And top row 5th from left is Frank Ransome's cousin another Ransom but can't think of his first name. Will rack my brain for more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Another think, middle row first girl from left Andrea Fearn, front row 4th from left Pamela Philpot, front row 5th from right, Roberts but can't remember first name. Second boy from left middle row, Ian Jennings, he was bullyed something awful for some reason, used to feel really sorry for him at the time. Top row 5th from right, the (Billy Fury lookalike) was Gerald or Gerard but again no surname. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Andrea Fearn is a cousin of cousins (Malcolm & Linda) of mine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 The two Rogers you mention , Malinsky and Kershaw , I think were good footballers. Seem to remember their names from the school team, though they were a year above me . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 DavidW Yes correct, David, in fact they were the "blue eyed boys" of most sports there. Amazing how a photo shakes up the memory cells, I would never have remembered hardly any of those names, but looking at the photo, they seemed to jump into my head again. Some I'm still struggling with though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paradiddle 145 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Well done Banjo, I knew we'd find someone that would name names. I made a comment on another post that we didn't have a lot to do with those in the years above and below us. It's now clear that we didn't even know who was in the other classes in our own year!

carni 10,094 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I am really enjoying all the photo's and names that you all are coming up with. The names and faces are vaguely familiar to me, but it is about 53 years since I left Gedling Secondary Modern and 50years since leaving Gedling. Keep them coming. Both topics are brilliant, thank you for the memories they are bringing back for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 # 6 and # 8 There was a Roger Malinski at Carlton-Le-Willows Grammar School. Just checked and he was a year older than me, start year 1960. Can't remember what he looked like but could it be the same person? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 It will be the same one Roger & his sister(twin?) both transferred to Carlton-Le-Willows Grammar School. 1963 or 64?. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's the one David they lived on Thorsby Avenue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 On the complete register of pupils at the Grammar School there is only Roger Malinski so maybe his sister went to the Tech. Grammar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have a vague recollection of Roger Malinski going on to Carlton Le Willows, I left in 63, and I'm fairly positive he was definitely still at Gedling then. Last evening I again racked the old brain and came up with another of the boys names, but this am it's gone again, gosh cannot believe it is 53 years ago ! Just realised that the photo must have been taken earlier in 63, because Will Gardner left early, maybe at Easter ? as he was almost a year older than me. So maybe Malinski left then as well. #5 come on then banjo where are you? Sorry sue, only living in the antipodes we sleep different hours to you guys. Another flash of memory, front row 4th girl from right, Linda Hearson, god where did that come from ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Sorry banjo I should have said where are you on the photo, not explaining myself correctly is probably why I was in G2 all the way though school. LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Come on then Sue, we've met at a meet up, I remembered you straight away from school, and Carni too (though I can't remember Carni's real name), so have a guess, which is moi ? Oh a clue, I had hair then. :-)) Still racking the old brain for the last few names, I do remember the girl 6th from right in front row, she had a lovely low sultry voice, when she spoke, but no name comes to mind. I keep going back to the photo as I've got it on my pc now so will keep at it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Are you second right top row banjo, I really am useless with faces I walk past people I've known for years and it is 6am I must try to get some sleep now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I wouldn't recolonise any one from my school days & I cant remember anybody one the photographs either. But as I left school in 1965(50 years is a long time) it's hardly surprising 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
