26 October 2017 - Jack Ryan says:-
"Pete Verrill (B-1) - was always rumoured to be Father Christmas at Newhouses in Middlesbrough on Saturdays!
Niven McMaster (M-2) - frequenter of the Woodman in Normanby - lived over the road from the school in Teesville.
Bill Readman (M-3) - dad of my best friend all the way through school and lived at 40 South Park Ave, Normanby.
Mr Fox (M-9) - my tutor in the 1st Year in 1969 and sang bass directly behind me in the school choir!
Mr Kilner (F-6 known as Alf or The Boss) - taught me Classical Greek at South Park 6th Form College 1974-76.
Nora Allison (F-8 known as Aunty Ally) - was Senior Mistress in my time. I met her in the late 80s or early 90s
when I was a teacher myself on a school residential trip to Osmotherley Youth Hostel from Nottinghamshire
and we both knew each other instantly!"
07 November 2017 - Trevor Longstaff (M-7 Photo K) recalls:-
"Mr McMaster (M-2) gave me a 1000 word essay in French on the subject -
