John Bright Grammar School

Ian:
I remember Saturday Morning detentions.  I suspect they were popular in Grammar schools in the late '50s / early '60s.

Micox:
Hi. I was in JBGS until 3a in 1953. I engineered my departure (hated what I felt was the snob ethos there) when I was 15. My real fame was as the owner of a wire haired fox terrier called Paddy who had the habit of following me to school and appearing in assembly from whence I was ordered to take him home. But no matter what collection of security arrangements were tried, Paddy always managed to subvert them!  He was featured in the (I think) 1952 mag. I'm sure when I was there, rugby was introduced to the school by a new teacher, Hoppy. I played briefly, until I was thrown out, and enjoyed it.
