Memorable Events: Singing in the choir on television. I have never seen it and on my to do list to track it down so I am able to watch it. Going to the London trip. Never being picked for Carlton camp. Playing netball (being chosen for the A team in the year above) and being inspired to play this sport all through my school years and into my 30's. Playing in the quadrangle. Classes outside on the grass on sunny days. Morning assembly - realising gradually through the years I was moving one step closer to the back of the hall... happy memories. (If anyone can help track down a copy of the TV choir performance I would be so happy to hear from you. I am on facebook as Julie Musgrave. 
 
Name: Iain Taylor

Date of attending: 1972-1977

Memorable Teachers: Mr Smith, Mrs Ferguson, Miss Appleby to name a few. 

Memorable Events: Being part of the very first Football Team to win a trophy for the school, it was a 5-a-side Competition played at St Aiden's School. Mr Smith kept on saying we were not going to win the Trophy, however we did and the school made a shelf and wall plaque and put it in the hall for everyone to see (wonder what happened to it!). At dinner time, Mr Smith would have the footballers playing inside in the hall 3-a-side with a big soft green football using upturned benches as goals, rule was one goal winner then on came the next 3 loved every minute. As for the winning team there was a photo taken by the Hartlepool Mail will find it out and post it one day soon. Mr Smith was a fantastic teacher, whatever happened to all the other teachers?

Obviously cannot forget going to Carlton Camp last time I went was with the Hartlepool Choir, I was not in the choir (and to be fair i could not hold a note if it was stapled to my hand), however I only went because there was loads of empty spaces left, so I got the chance to go for the last time, just to see the Grey Lady, who remembers her.
What about playing rounders in the school play ground, I always seemed to be back stop.

Good times! Then the ghost story night when Mr N told all of the stories and we all got scared! Also when we were in Mrs Killeen's class and we had that day when we made pizza and had a photograph taken... Also when she brought in her lovely daughter Anya towards the holidays and we had a fun day :) Really miss being there.
