Paul

The headmaster in Dane and my own day was Fred Bather who was a great bloke

well liked by everyone

When did you leave Parr Mount madjo?

The teachers you name Paul I remember Buck Jones Mrs Arrowsmith Fanny Wilso

but the science teacher when we were there was a Mr. Price is that correct Dane?

Didn't I send you a photo Dane with Miss Jones on perhaps you could post for our

Parr Mount buddies on Forum?

Unless there are objections?

Think Back Dane

"Smedley" was his nickname Price was his real name

I was only there for one year 1981, it was used as an annexe for first year pupils of Parr High school.
If you look at the picture posted earlier, they are all wearing Parr high uniforms :)

I think Bob will back me up on this. The playing field was'nt the best in town, but neither was it the worst by any means. When we played on it (which was a least twice a week) there were no cinders or any other foreign bodies (Oooh, Bob, Ciders!) I still think the science teacher was Smedley, I was only there a for a short time after he came.
