| I doubt if anyone remembers me. I taught art 1972-1973. I also did a bit of geography. I remember Mrs Martin, Mr Chowdrey and some people who at the moment have names that escape me. I am a principal of a school in New Zealand and look back fondly on my short time at Frances Bardsley (Heath Park). | |||

| There seems to be very little contact from anyone who attended the school when I did 1963-1970. The teacher with a dog in her bicycle basket who Molly Laird remembers was Miss Harris who taught music and was Deputy Head for my first year. Janet Paige's memory of a school play may have been the one I remember where all the characters had the names of gemstones - Chrysoprase was the one I remember because I'd never heard of it and still can't spell it. Memories of being taught to sit absolutely still for 30 minutes at a time by Miss Bubbers, and of her walking the corridors to check on the 6th Formers doing prep at desks in the corridors - total silence. I also painted the face of a grandfather clock which stood on the main staircase but would suspect that went a long time ago. Miss Mulholland was Head for the last year I was there, before it became comprehensive. I remember Miss Townsend walking off her podium during a lesson and stepping into the waste-paper basket, and carrying on from there, and we managed not to make a sound! | |||

| I was in Hunt House. I remember Miss Mulholland as the head teacher and our daily assemblies. I too remember Miss Townsend, but she did enable me to learn how to take very quick notes! Still not a great history fan though. Remember Sue Jennings, Diana Sidebotham (who was my bridesmaid)Sarah Morton. I still see Mary Dedman who lives near me in Ealing.I also can remember going to Germany with the choir to Ludwigshaven on an exchange trip.any one else have any memories? Can be contacted on louise_rand@hotmail.com | |||

| I came to Canada with my parents in Nov. l946, but with great sadness, at the age of 12, leaving my wonderful school. My home room teacher was Miss Monday. Miss Walters (Waters) was head mistress. I remember many names of girls who were in my class. Would love to hear any news or any contact of students of those years. I live on Vancouver Island with my husband. Hoping to get a reply of some kind. Am so excited to find the school. I am very new to the computer world. Yours truly, Marlene | |||

| Enjoyed reading your comments! One or two names familiar but can't put a face to them. I remember 2 order marks equalled 1 detention. My father always said I should have been better at spelling considering the time I spent in detention learning that week`s 100 best words! As Chairwoman of the Friends I HAVE to appeal to you ALL (HPS & RCHS) to join, as so many of our members do not have access to the net & would love to hear from you via our Newsletter. | |||

| Unfortunately it was only several years after I left that I realised what an excellent school RCHS was. Amongst the teachers, I particularly remember Miss Kingzett, who taught English and Miss Smith who took us for art. I also have good memories of Fraulein Hönneger who took German. It's true what they say that with age your memory for youth comes back because I can remember that time so clearly now I have time to think of it! Is there anyone out there: Betty Secker, Eve Dickenson, Eunice Collins, Barbara Jackson, and others whose names I can't remember. I am now retired in a little hamlet in France, having worked for some years in Geneva. | |||

| Received information on this web site from Esther Wheatley plus an E-mail from Sarah, whose surname I do not know. As you can see, I am from an elderly generation but with the assistance of E's partner have become reasonably computer literate. Also received info from Mrs. Betty Nineham whom I believe to be a member. I should love to join the OGA but am no longer able to travel so all communication would be by E-mail or post. Hope it would be possible to join via post! Sorry, I am waffling, should have placed this epistle in messages ! Great to be in contact. Cheers & Best wishes to everyone involved. | |||
