Now This Is Memory Lane!

A Memory of Rugby.

I was at school here at exactly the time of this photograph. I left the area soon afterwards. I remember Mr Rogers, form master and French teacher; Mr (Joe) Lewis gym and sports master; Mr (Nogger) Nason geography teacher and School House Master. There were no cars on site and everyone rode bikes. The woodwork shop which was situated nearer to Hillmorton Road from the Gym was where I made a jointed wooden firescreen and an inlaid stand for a table lamp. Both were prized possessions at home for many years although they were more decorative than practical! I remember seeing my GCE results in July, 1952 posted on the notice board in the archway from the quad into the playing field and being rather surprised at how well I had done.
