Miss Clegg |
Geography, French |
The
school at that time corresponded with a ship, the letters
being sent via Miss Clegg (or Elsie as she was known) to the
captain of the ship. I heard after I had left that she
finished up marrying him !! Judith Hopper says I was
in Harry Hartwell's form ( I think in my 3rd year) and Miss
Clegg's form room was next door. She used to breeze in to
see Harry Hartwell - both dressed in their black gowns - and
we all thought he was rather smitten as he used to go a bit
hot under the collar each time she leaned over his desk!!
As you can imagine a class of 30plus 13/14year old girls
gave him rather a hard time over these little scenes!! Left in 1959 |

Mr Gilkes |

Arrived 1959. I remember a Mr Gilkes
taking us for maths. I think he was either a newly qualified
teacher or maybe even a student teacher. I recall he used to
go to "The Romany" at lunchtime with some of the sixth
formers. Mr Gilkes was quite tall, skinny and blonde
and used to blush very easily. We were a class of 30+
15/16year old girls and I remember we gave the poor lad
rather a rough time - after all he was not that much older
than us and we were quite relentless. - Judith

Many people remember Tad as a good teacher. He was
also a good cricketer who encouraged many of us to play at
club level...and organised the school tour each year. A group of us from school would often see Tad
in The Romany pub on a Sunday night. We’d be there whenever
Horace M Smith (a very good, very funny and very
entertaining jazz band led by a musician called John
Percival) were playing. I recall that we even got a drink
out of him on one occasion. Tad is an accomplished Trombone
player and has (or certainly had) his own local jazz band. |

Miss I M Rudling |
Sports |
Judith Hopper says: Miss Rudling was
quite a petite lady who taught games and had short, thick,
flaming red hair. She was also quite religious and led bible
study classes at her home. All us girls who didn't like
athletics would agree before the start of a run to go at the
same pace and cross the line together. Unfortunately, Miss
Rudling cottoned on to this one and punished us by making
the whole group run round the track for the rest of the
double period. Miss Rudling also used to organise a Staff v
School Hockey Match on the last day of term before the
summer holidays started. Many of the staff used to play in
fancy dress. |

Mrs B D Taylor |
Commerce |
Senior Mistress. Judith Hopper says:
Mrs Taylor was my favourite teacher in all my years at
Trinity. She taught commerce in Room 15, the penthouse at
the top of The Tower. The Commerce Room was well known for
the sound of a record Mrs Taylor played which we had to type
in time to - everyone passing the room used to comment on
hearing the ringing of a typewriter bell and the words
"carriage return" when we typed to within the last 6
characters of a line. She was a very strict but fair teacher
and set out to teach all her pupils the rudiments of office
etiquette in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Each
day we would have an inspection of finger nails and lectures
on how young ladies would not dream of going to work in an
office in trousers, no stockings etc. and we were always
told to be prepared on our first day at work and to take our
own pencils and shorthand notebooks with us. I
remember my first day at work at Express Lifts when I was
shown to my typewriter - I was horrified at the thing in
front of me. Trinity was a brand new school the year I
started and all our office equipment was very up to date -
electric Golfball typewriters if you please!!! I, very
naively, expected to be provided with the same type of
equipment when I started work and instead got an old Royal
manual typewriter. Even when we had new typewriters at
"Express" we still had manual models - Imperial 66!!.
Not up to the standard of Trinity I'm afraid. |
