4G Form Report

 

Form 4G consists of 16 pupils, 8 girls and 8 boys.  Our form room is the Geography room and our Form Master is Mr. Hollos.  His duties are to mark the register and find out who wants school dinners.  In our class we have several girls and boys who are on hockey and football teams respectively.  We also have two or three girls in the Film Society.

 


5S Form Report

 

5S this year is composed of 9 girls and 19 ?  We hesitate over the sex of these "objets d'art", and anyone who sees them will know what we mean.  Three boys of last year's 4S have graduated into the "glorious sixth", and in their places we have three "left-overs" from last year's 5S.  This, by a complicated process of addition and subtraction (to say nothing of integration and differentiation) brings us back to where we started - 9 girls and 19 "objets d'art".

Mr. Kent, who reluctantly handed us over to Mr. Petford at the beginning of this term, (thinks : did we perceive a tear behind those concave lenses ?) is "fathering" another 4S.

In spite of the belief that Mr. Petford was once removed from school as a result of our tender ministrations, we had nothing whatsoever to do with it, and as a matter of fact, he seems to be bearing up rather well under the strain of guiding us along the straight and narrow !

Mr. Tempest, who has so often greeted us with a caustic "We're not awake yet 5S", is still trying to instil some chemistry into our "thick skulls", but aided by the lab. walls which have a disconcerting habit of shedding plaster on to someone's head, he doesn't seem to be succeeding.

Mr. Fogg, who refers to us as "you future scientists", is initiating us into the mysteries of calculus - unfortunately with no great success.  In addition, we are the bane of poor Mr. Wright's existence, all because we don't appreciate the "beauty" of the English language !

However, having dragged ourselves out of our habitual coma (our instant reaction to work), in order to give you this glimpse of 5S, we think it time to go back. So we leave you with this happy thought, "a little learning is a dangerous thing !".

 


5G Form Report

 

Room 12 is inhabited by nineteen non-feminine women and eight masculine sufferers under the ruling of that fearless vegetarian Mr. Wells.  Of the eight masculine heroes all are prominent handsome lady-killers, especially mentioning that handsome "Romeo", Peter Lawton.  Our poor examples of female beauty all admire that mumbled catastrophe Cliff Richard, while the boys prefer a good game of football and other sporting activities.  The interests of this class lie in sport, photography, films, dancing and horse riding.  Many of these activities lie outdoors, so one may guess that we are a high spirited form, thus earning a reputation of being a noisy class.

The Three Masculine Sufferers. P.O., N.C. & P.L.

 

Various societies are honoured by members of our form.  Two girls are in the Choir and the same two are also in the Historical Society.  Five girls and one or two boys are keen members of the Table Tennis Club.  4 girls are on the hockey team and one of these girls is also on the netball team.  A few of the boys in our class are on the various football teams.

Three boys and two girls are on their respective house swimming teams.

The main hobbies amongst the girls are swimming, horse-riding, ice-skating, tennis and dancing.  The main hobbies of the boys appear to be football, cycling, swimming and motor racing.

The G.C.E. looms up in July as we prepare ourselves for the difficult task set before us.  This last, but by no means least, term we know will be the hardest, but we hope it will also be the happiest.  We think we can honestly say that we have enjoyed our stay at Greenhill Grammar School.
