those clickers about 71-72 - a concave tin disk with a
clown's face and a strip of metal at the back that went
"pop" when you pressed it? |

you're wrong about Bazooka Joe gums. Head for Jerry's
Home Store on the Fulham Road and you'll find they sell

For Alun and anyone else who is
interested, I have been informed by my son Michael who is
at Wetherby High, that Mr Hunter no longer teaches there.
I definitely haven't seen him for a while at parents
evening. My son is a devil he only gets me appointments
with teachers who aren't going to say too much. I have
been wanted to see Mr Pawson for three years and Michael
keeps telling me he doesn't see parents, yet there is
always a wooden table with his name on it. Sorry I
drifted. Alun anything you need to know about school ask
and I will see if Michael knows the answer, if not I will
get him to find out. If anyone is interested also I see a
lot of Mrs Wilkinson [English Teacher] she hasn't altered
one bit, if anyone wants any message passing to her let
me know as I see her most Thursdays, nice messages
please. |

Anyway, many thanks to the “ubiquitous” &
well informed Miss Bonner for her comments confirming
that it was indeed Mr. Jim Frusher who was affectionately
known as “Catweazle”, & that he is teaching
his own inimitable brand of Physics (possibly in the same
room). Brings back memories of the many dubious delights
of investigating the dynamics of mini-trolleys by means
of the “Ticker-Tape Vibrator”, & I
can’t even mention the unmentionable “Dust

| Comments: |
Just thought I'd join in with this
'teachers' nostalagia. I for one owe the late Barry
Sellers a big thankyou for support over some rather
unpleasant periods/situations. His reports in the book
provide evidence. I too remember John Wardle, Chris
Collings (correct spelling!) and Geoff Larwood and some
good laughs in the ROSLA art rooms. Going to Jacob Kramer
was actually a step backwards for the 4 of us who went
from WHS. Coincidence time: I moved back to the Wetherby
area (Leeds) in '92 and about 18 months later I was
walking round the 1812 Gallery in Shipley when a voice
behind me said :
"I can't remember your name but I never forget a
face."
Blimey, John Wardle, hasn't seen me for 18 years but can
still recognise me - how? because I have changed! |

Have just received an excellent picture of all the teaching staff 1969. It's on the 1960's menu (of course) but might be missed by some of the younger element, who would not expect to find a gem like that in the dim and distant! |

| Comments: | Julie West,yes was in Patsy's year and am still cute-millions cant be wrong-say Hi to Patsy. Art teachers - great - Barry Sellers was a one off and an ace bloke. Was Miss Collinge the one with the thigh lengh boots? Hope so and that I'm not fantasising over nothing! John Wardle was excellent - think his wife taught me at Crossley Street School. Didnt do o level art, but first heard Lou Reed's "Transformer" Album there - my first record purchase. Still listen to it - beats Westlife anyday. Always ready for a reunion. |

| Comments: | I think all the art teachers were stars, they treat you like you were adults and it made a difference. Chrissy Collins made me laugh in one lesson she was reading a letter from her hubby which started Dear Cow, I said are you gonna kill him, she said no its a compliment a cow is a beautiful creature. Don't forget Mr Wardle he lives in Wetherby again and he was a damn good art teacher as well. So I think the saying is "respect" to the art teachers.

| Comments: | I was really saddened to hear about Barry Sellers no longer being with us. Jim Frushers wife told me. He always supported me through my 'ups' and mainly 'downs' and I even managed an 'A' level Art!
What happened to Geoff Larwood, Christine Collings and the guy who looked like Fred Flintstone with Austin Powers glasses who I remember pulling little Tony Hatfield across the room by the hair?!! (Allegedly)) I'm pretty sure that is not allowed now !!
Mr Douglas! that's his name!

Me and my mates used to swoon over him in his leathers, or anything that he wore. He made Wetherby High school interesting for a while. |

Do you still hold the school athletics records - bet you do without the assistance of streroids what's more, not like the youth of today eh! Jumpers for goalposts,sticks for javelins,stones for shots and you try to tell the kids of today and they won't believe you!! |

There should be lots of 90's and 2000 pictures as these won't have been locked in the attic yet. I know some of you live abroad but if your relatives are in England hassle them for the photos if they had kids at Wetherby schools or the surrounding Junior schools, if 10 classes were photographed in one session surely at least one person from each class will have purchased a photo. Lets everyone of us keep this brilliant website going. That's me off my soapbox for another day. |

However I think Jim gave up on me when I asked him to prove that my desk was made of molecules and not truely solid. I ended up doing extra English Lit. at the back of the class. I'm still thick where Physics is concerned. Some good must have come of it - I now teach KS1 (primary) science.

I do keep in touch with a few people from our school, I wonder how different we all are now. I work in York for the City Council, I haven't done so bad considering the amount of absences I had, I think I can wipe out the whole of the last year(1984), consequently I have re-educated myself |

| Comments: | 'Puck' Walker! There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember Miss Parkinson shouting at Puck and I for some minor misdemeanour at Collingham school in early 1970. Whatever happened to him? Is he one of the great un-named in the Collingham school photo on the site? |

| Comments: | Mr Palmer - The Rural Studies teacher was also a skilled Fire fighter. In one lesson someone set fire to the paper towel dispenser with a bunsen burner, with flames blazing Mr Palmer ripped it off the wall and threw it into the sink. Puck "it was an accident, sir" Walker was one of the first on the scene. We all backed him up, of course. Well, he may have been innocent! |

| Comments: | I've just been looking at the sheep link in the 70's archive. Did school keep one of the lambs and call it 'Lambsy'. If I remember correctly it turned into a brute and butted anyone who went near rural studies. Do you think Harry Fitton had it for dinner? Or did we!!!!! |
