Life at The RCHS
TO Dave Read, I am one of Mr. Hodge's three sons (there were also two daughters who attended the school later on) and you seem to have been bracketed chronologically by Alan and Robin; I was in the 54-59 era.
Best memory is that Dad, as art teacher, was asked to design the school badge (he also did Bridley Moor and Lodge). He asked the latin teacher (Mr. Agate)for "Nothing but the best" and was told "Nihil quam optime". It was duly applied to the uniform. Turned out that it really meant "nothing as well as possible" and so Dalton Murray switched it to Nil Nisi Optime some time in 1958-ish.
