Some memories revived with the rollcall of teachers' names that features in several of the posts. Mr Bowcott seems to be fondly remembered, but to me he was the dsicplinarian who administered the strap for misdemeanours. Corporal punishment was accepted as normal in those days. Mr Chambers was head when I joined, replaced by Dr de la Perelle after my first year.Mr Ford my first form master, 1E. R Ryder was my third form master. Long, long time ago.
Hi,I'm new on board and delighted to have stumbled across this forum. I left CGS in 1955, when L.P. de la Perrelle was headmaster. Over the years, my form masters included Ford, Harwood and Soulby. Delving through CGS memorabilia, I came across the attached photos of Mr Cheney (1933-1949), and Dr de la Perrelle and the staff in 1950. Enjoy your walk down memory lane...
