Form 3G Report
There are twenty-one pupils, thirteen boys, eight girls. We occupy room nine. Our form master is Mr. Bickerstaffe who is a recent addition to the school. Morris joined us coming from last year's third form. Five other boys, Rbnald James, Gavin Haigh, Keith Graham, Peter Missom and Fred Hollingworth joined our happy band, coming from 2B. Jacqueline Cooke has won medals for dancing and Sandra Schofield has a paper-round. There are two boys in the Film Society and James is in the under fifteen football team. Peter Hope is in the swimming team and the under fourteen football team, as are Roger Rooney and John Holt. Four girls are in the choir.

Form 4L Report
This year the roses of the 4th and one thorn, inhabit Room 11, and we are governed by the iron rod of Madame Kuler.
As one enters the form room first thing in a morning a babel of voices is heard saying, "Have you done your Maths ?" "Have you done your French ?" "Can I borrow it ?" etc. Or on the other hand there is the ardent Lonnie Donnegan supporter (not mentioning any names) singing (hem !) one of the top tunes, e.g., "Gingerbread," not forgetting the sturdy band of United supporters (Manchester, of course).
Some of our ladies play for the ever victorious hockey or netball teams, while the boy on the other hand tries, I think, to play football.
Being in the Lit. Lot we are, of course, a very sensible form. That is why we can usually be found hanging out of the windows (believe it or not, they do open), looking at the he-men playing silly games of football in their yard.
On the whole, however, we do try to realise that Mrs. Kuler is a "Member of Staff," and that we are here to learn, because "This is a School !"
N.B. - Our Motto - Oh ! for a Man.

Form 4S Report
This year we 'hang out' in Room 10. Every morning over the register we are greeted by the smiling visage of Mr. Kent (what a start to the day !) and with his melodious voice echoing in our ears troop out to assembly. The supposedly stronger sex, outnumbering us by two to one, cower in their two-thirds of the classroom, scared to put a foot over the boundary line.
Under the guidance of Messrs. Kent, Petford and Tempest, we are fast becoming budding scientists(?).
On that note we conclude, mainly because we cannot think of anything more to say.
So long!
The female population of 4S.
Form 4G Report
We are the nomadic 4G. Our cell is the blacked out Geography room and our "beloved" keeper is Mr. Wells. We are a mixed bunch of eighteen girls and eleven boys. Five of the girls are in the choir and three are in the school hockey team.
Of the boys, one of them, Peter Lawton takes a great interest in football, and every Saturday he and his followers troop to the 'Latics to watch that team playing. Another boy, Stephen Brierley, is a very good swimmer and is in the Oldham swimming team. Richard Bennett is interested in cycling and Jack Butterworth likes motor racing.
Some of the girls like to go horse-riding, one, Jean Overton, prefers ice-skating, and all the girls like ballroom dancing.
The favourite lessons of the boys are woodwork, swimming and games, and of the girls cookery, art and English. For an essay on the latter, one of the girls thought that Pat Boone was an ideal subject, but Mr. K. Wright thought differently.
We have not been with Mr. Wells very long, so we do not know much about him except that he is very fair and reasonable and we are looking forward to our year in 4G with him.
