Fonthill Road Primary 1925 -30 Can only remember Mr Stott the
Headmaster who helped me get a scholarship, and two teachers - Mr Irlam
who took me in his sidecar a couple of times to visit my grandparents in
Ormskirk (his family lived near Burscough somewhere) and Mr Kaye(nick-
named Kay-Kay,after the toffee very popular at that time). We were divided
into houses - Livingstone, Shackleton, Shaftesbury, and Wilberforce (I was in
Shaftesbury).
Alsop High 1930 -36. Mr Halford the Headmaster. He fought a losing
battle trying to persuade us to to lose our Scouse accents! I can remember a
few of the teachers - Mr Arundel who taught Spanish in between putting on
Gilbert and Sullivan operas (quite successfully) at Queens Drive Baths, Nat
Cooper the French teacher who just as unsuccessfully tried to convince us
that Rugby League was a much better game than football. And a few others,
but I'll stop there.
It's a sobering thought that for a brief moment they've been brought back!
