This
is a picture of Form 3Y Toxteth Technical School as it was called
in1955.
The
teacher is Mse Terrier our French teacher and at the time the most
popular in the school! Forget why!
I am
on his left.
Some
names I can remember are:
Bernard
Riley, Hughes, Mason. Kinsella, Chapman,听Billy Long, Billy Blade.
I Live
on The South Coast of New South Wales now - a far cry from Liverpool!

"I
remember the French teacher Msr. Terrier.in fact I remember
him leaving to return to France.Everyone was sad to see him
go.
I left in 1958 and still have fond memories of my formulative
years at TTS or TTI as it was previously called (Tommy Tucker's
Idiots was a derogatory tag given by local scallies!) .
I still have my school reports signed by masters and the formidable
Headmaster,Stanley Conway JP.
It was also my first encounter with the cap and gown worn by
our teachers. Coming from Chatsworth St Primary and Earle Rd
Sec.Mod.it was a bit over whelming.I was one of those poor sods
who failed the 11 plus but sailed through the 13 plus.
I still tremble with fear at the memory of sitting exams at
the Collegiate or"Draculas Castle" as it appeared to me then.
Thank God for modern methods of streaming talent in the Comprehensive
system." |
