Len Buchan was tjhe English master - a real so and so, but a damn good teacher. I was there a decade later and remember Buchan very well, but if you could demonstrate that you understood the subjunctive, had reasonably neat handwriting and did your homework he wasn't such an ogre. At least he never had cause to use that slipper on me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a picture of the whole school taken while he was there but it is on my other pc but I can put it on later if anybody is interested.

dagro Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I was there in 1940 as a ***. Wore the brown cap with yellow stripes and the brown blazer. Cant remember the names of any of the teachers anymore. Had to leave at the end of the first year after a road accident put me in hospital for nine months. Fit for the army however and spent my service in Austria. Now live in Vienna for almost 60 years. How fast time goes by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Edward Gregory Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I attended N.E.G.S. between 1943 and 1950. 1950 was the last year you could take the N.U.J.M.B. Higher School Certificate Examination. I would like to know if any of the students from this period are still around and where they are now. I am aged 82 and live in Oxfordshire.
