Glad some of you remember Mr Gleave at Peel Park. Ofcourse I remember Mr Hinchcliffe the Head Master but cannot recall Mr Heaton. Maybe he came after I left. Mrs Madden was in charge of Class 2 and Mrs Becker Class 3. I was in her class twice.The first time I was so frightened of her I was physically sick every morning but I still got put on the bus to school. How times have changed.No one would dream of sending a 6yrs old on a bus to school alone now but I lived in Hapton and Peel Park was a much better school than the 2 in the village so my parents thought I would have a better chance of passing the 11plus. They were right too I did pass and went to Accrington High School for Girls.Ha ha and there was Miss Horne who was just as intimidating as Mrs Becker. How many of you lot recall standing outside her study trembling ?
