If I remember rightly she taught Physics, she retired when I was at the end of the first year about 1980 and died a few years later. I wonder what some of these retired teachers would make of todays rabble. We had a few trouble makers at Moorhead whose names were regularly read out in assembly for detention or caning. At least they were proper trouble makers though, not like all these kids today pretending to have ADHD when there's nothing wrong with them that a bit of parental discipline wouldn't cure.

Mr Ormerod RIP was another fair but strict teacher and Mr. Walmsley with his glare. Remember reading Cider with Rosie in his class and everyone got a fit of giggles at the rude bits. He hit the ceiling before he came back down again!!
