Good Times

A Memory of Styal.

Miss Webster (Head Teacher) taught us how to appreciate Classical music. We sometimes listened to Grieg before assembly, I loved this. I remember being Anitra in a show called The Dance Of The Trolls. We made all the outfits in our sewing class. Mr Holland’s class entered a garden competition and at some point we were all entered into a fine art competition.
Mr. Holland’s predecessor Mr Warjen wasn’t very nice to most of us and regularly made a mock of certain class mates, thankfully he retired hence, Mr Holland to the rescue. I felt blessed when he arrived. I opted to go to this school because asthma made it difficult for me to get to my home school and I wanted to leave school with some sort of educational exam Certificate. Mr Warjen thought us all incapable of such a task but Mr Holland listened and a few of us thankfully left that school with a few CSE’s.

Names which spring to mind:
Katherine Townley, Duncan Cunningham, Jessie Bun. Kevin. Gary.

Can anyone else remember names from 69 to 71 Mr Holland’s class?
