It would make a good porno flick ... Mabel Horney punishing all the bad little girls. :eek: I think now is a good time for me to quit thinking about this:D

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
 

I was Marjorie Shorrock then and was there from 1956 to 1961.:eek:

If anyone is a member of "facebook" there is a group called Accrington High School for Girls. So far there are only a few members. I only found it today.
Come you High School Girls join up.:D

I was doing a web search on "the high school for girls accrington" and discovered that Mr Duckworth died recently. Church Times - Deaths

I started at AHS in 1960 and have already held reunions for my year in 2000 and 2005. I'll be doing another one in September 2010 to mark our 50 years (doesn't bear thinking about!) Please get in touch if you'd like to come.

Mabel seemed truly scary back then and she bullied Muriel something rotten. Mrs. Kennedy was just plain awful "Are you giving me sidelong glances?" used to leave the whole class in a state of panic. Miss Redmayne and Miss Hindle were my favourites. I saw miss Redmayne and Miss Bullough in Durham Cathedral about 10 years after I left and wished ever since I'd spoken to them. Mrs Emerson was sweet and it's thanks to her I scraped a grade 6 maths.

I'm on the Accrington High School Facebook page and have recently posted that it will be the 75th anniversary of the opening of the school on 8th September 2014. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a "whole school" reunion such as the 50-year one held in 1989? Please let me know if you would be interested - Accrington High School only, not Moorhead High School - as long as you started when it was still AHS.

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
 

I'm a bit lost here Judith - if the 50th anniversary was in 1989 did that mean the school opened in 1939? I thought it was mid-30s. Also, my sister who was born in 1950, cut the cake along with the head girl for the 25th anniversary as she was the youngest girl in the school, would probably have been ten years old, in Sept 1960.

I was there 1957-1964, no bad memories, all good.

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
 

Whilst I am not suggesting that I get invited to the reuniion, I would like someone to post on the AHS Facebook page that I am mem sec of the AGSOld Boys ( some of whom were girls and also attended AHSD after '39) and am wanting to make contact with any OBs - some may be known to the OGs who might help me find them...... The girls who started in 1953 are due their 5-yearly reunion this year. I know 3 of them.

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
 

By that you mean Jean, Marion, and me.

I will probably be declining the invite for the first time.

Re: Accrington High School 1960-1966
 

Yes - make it four. Have just remembered Maeve ???? who I meet at family history events,.

Re: Accrington High School 1960-1966
 

Maeve the clergyman's daughter - I used to astound some of them by my recall of detail - some of which they preferred forgotten;)

Re: Accrington High School 1960-1966
 

Her sister Susan Ayre was in my form - they lived in Whalley road Clayton.

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
 

She was only a clergyman's daughter
But she........................................

Maeve's on her third husband I think - twice widowed so far as I know. Lives Chesterfield (?)
