I left in 1964 when we had only recently had the first male teacher. That caused quite a stir. Until then the only male in school was the caretaker. Our sex education was given by a very embarrassed Miss Starkey. We were told how the tadpoles and eggs joined but not how they got there. No wonder we started to have the first teenage mothers in the swinging sixties.carolwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643002409279525279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417468218833973908.post-15483362560730881762018-01-29T10:22:11.354+00:002018-01-29T10:22:11.354+00:00Yep - I think we were all a bit shocked.

When I left to go to university he gave me a 150 year old leather bound latin dictionary that he'd written . I'll never forget that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417468218833973908.post-28904841079657545512018-01-21T10:46:16.443+00:002018-01-21T10:46:16.443+00:00I just found out about Mr Royston’s death as I was...I just found out about Mr Royston’s death as I was talking with friends about my old school and how the only male teacher was this poor, bullied guy. I Googled him and discovered he had committed suicide six years ago. I feel very sad. I never bullied him but I do remember other girls embarrassing him by talking loudly about their periods and so on. Poor guy. I left in 1992 and am now 43 so you were probably a few years above me.Rowena Macdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594491436632528522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417468218833973908.post-80325463617516662662015-10-31T07:45:14.617+00:002015-10-31T07:45:14.617+00:00Well, ironically I found your blog when doing a Go...Well, ironically I found your blog when doing a Google search to check I had the correct spelling and translation. If it's any comfort I left 34 years ago and I too still know all the words. The pregnancy problem was probably due to Miss Starkey, her sex ed. lessons consisted of talking about rabbits, humans didn't get a look in.
