We had 2 classes A and B but all years were re-split into A, Alpha and B for maths (Mr Mulholland was still there...).
And I remember a nice trip to Cambridge though not a Mr Stiff, we went in the second year just after I started at CH.

You still did gravel crunching that late on ? Talk about a school frozen in time... I thought that the Square was already being over-worn - one of the reasons that we stopped marching to meals was because of this wear ( shame, it looked good each House marching into the middle of the Square, up to ...

I remember the gate being locked, except beginning/end of term and sometimes Long Sats. I think the housemistresses had a key - I remember ours taking us out through the back gate for walks on the Meads at the weekends. I also remeber doing 'gravel crunching' on Sundays - this consisting of just wa...

Re: The Bonfanti twins
I was in 5s 67-73 and Ann was in 6s 67-71. She got thrown out in the Upper 5th for a multitude of sins, culminating in going up to London on her own - and without permission of course - to see the Rolling Stones one Saturday. I didn't start at CH until 1974 but the story of the Rolling Stones trip ...

I think there was only one. someone had got her confused with Miss Mercer. Mrs Roxburgh would have been in her mid-60s I suppose, Miss Mercer must be nearly 80. The Mrs Roxburgh I remember must have been around 50 in the 1970's so would have been 80ish now. She was originally Miss Martyr (not Merce...

Did Jane Newton have a sister in Sixes? Your housemistress was a lady with blond hair - but I can't remember her name. Didn't she have a daughter there? I remember she cut my hair for me once. I was really friendly at the time with Lynn Ford, Charlotte Lycett and Jenny Moss Yes I think Jane Newton'...

There was access - it had to go tot he back of the squash courts and gym, where the green double gates were - then it went down the back to the infirmary - All was very quiet, as at that time only Justine's sister knew, and she was being kept in the infirmary. The rest of us just knew something bad...

There was a bit of a whoo hah over the lack of rescus equipment and I belive that within a year they had a trolley and all that went with it. Sadly too late for Justine (I think that was her name) Justine was a first year in 5's and died when I was in L6 (1978/9) - she'd been in the infirmary with ...

I don't remember anything like this, I am sure I would have as money (or lack of it) was always important. We got a pound - the sixth form marched through London to the Mansion House to be presented with the money by the Lord Mayor. We were led by the band from Horsham and had many weeks of practic...

It's amusing to see how the memory of Miss Scott-Houghton has become almost folkloric. I'm pretty certain she retired in the seventies and moved into a flat she had bought in Hertford Town.Mrs Warner, the deputy housemistress took over but , I believe, sadly died prematurely when , I suspect Miss S...

The only ones I remember from 1974 are, 1's Mrs Weiss 2's Laurie 4's Miss Summers 5's Mrs Cooke 6's Pot At that time 7's were known as the most unruly house and 4's the best behaved - one girl was even transferred from 7's to 4's to redress the balance... By 1977 Mrs Wright was in charge in 5's - a ...

The attitude at Horsham was different to that described at Hertford. It certainly was - I can remember reading in a house newsletter from Horsham that one of the boys was to be congratulated on having fathered a child - the equivalent in Hertford would have meant immediate explusion, although I hea...
