The first time we gave new teachers the eyeball was in chapel and as soon as we saw his odd gait and nervous attitude we knew we had a victim in our midst

The maniacal laughter when one term he came in.......with a BEARD!
I will never forget the derision - the hyena laughter

Poor man - I wonder if he ever recovered

When I was at C.H. last week I was surprised to nearly bump into him, cycling down the cloisters.

Is he still teaching there?

No idea - did you say CYCLING DOWN THE CLOISTERS???

That would have been a caneable offence in the good old days of corporal punishment, matrons baths, horsehair mattresses, bolsters, jolly good bullying, and a chilly march to breakfast to the bugle band whose players were executed by hanging if they got their hands frozen onto their bugles.

HARRUMPH!
