Comment on George Glass (1944) Memories by derek hanney

Hi George,
I was at City of bath boys school from sept 1939 to 1944, I think I remember your name. I do remember some of the school pupils, Tom Smith, Peter Board, george tomkins and a lear and a hunt. I believe hunt got an army commission. We have lived in Canada for 55 years, and my daughter found the old sulian site on the internet. I did visit the old school a few years ago but it didn’t seem to be the same as I remember. I remember marcus matthews giving the whole junior school the “dap” of which I was one. Also remember froggie holden (he lived into his 90s). Also Dr taylor at assembly saying “2 boys on the #? bus did not give up their seats to the ladies”

Many thanks to Terry Light and his wife Olga who
kindly delivered my copy of Basement to Beechen
Cliff, any Old Sulian who has not purchased a
copy should do so before the print runs out. I
was interested to read George Glass!s letter, he
and I were at school at the same time and have
beewn in touch with him, It is strange that he was
a chartered surveyor and I was a master builder
being in business for some 38 years until I
retired in l992 also.
Yours Ray Moon

Comment on George Glass (1944) Memories by Lewis Cawthorn

Hello George
As an exact contemporary, I remember you well from those years. My memory of who was in which “form” is different from yours and I am quite sure that Raymond Leppard was a year (or possibly two) ahead of both of us.
Your piece made me wonder how many of 4L1, the names read out twice every day like a mantra for all those years, are still around
Andrews, Bannister, Brook, Burgess, Cawthorn, Child, Davies J.A., Davies J.H., Denham, Hart, Harvey, Kirby, Leat, Lloyd, Luckman, Manley, Morgan, Newhouse, O’Shaughnessy, Partridge, Robertson, Smith, Snowdon, Wilson.
Of those, I saw Polly Partridge a few times over the four years or so after leaving school and was very touched when Terry Leat turned up at my father’s funeral in the eighties – thinking it was me!
I remember Roger running in the school mile in 1944 and finishing third. He subsequently made better progress than Mike Derrington and Tom Smith who finished first and second.
My one beef with young Bannister was – is – that he conferred on me the nickname “Spike” which it took me more than twenty years to get rid of.
Best wishes to all who have survived,

LEWIS Cawthorn

Comment on 49ers 60th Reunion by Robbie Roberts

Dear Alan. You are to be congratulated on a well-organised and successful Reunion, much enjoyed by myself. It was great to peer through the marks of time, and recognise old colleagues from 60 years ago, and to catch up briefly on the intervening years.

Will we have another I ask? Hope so.

Thanks again.

Robbie
