Feck me - isn't that R.Y. Corbett, renowned sadistic bastard and part-time Rector of Paisley Grammar School ?

(I was there 1974 - 1977. The man was a tyrant. I frequently sought comfort in the gigantic bosoms of Miss Patterson).

He was an evil swine, wasn't he. He became the Grammar's rector at the start of term in 1966 which was when I started in Secondary 1. Even the staff despised him. Miss Paterson (a.k.a. Titsy), on the other hand, was a big Hattie Jacques-esque gem of a woman.

My time was slightly prior to that.

Jimmy Dinning (History)

Mr McAmley (English)

Mr Campbell (Teuchter English teacher - really liked this guy).

Fanny Calvert.

Mr Caldow (Chemistry).

Miss MacIntosh (French).

Funny how you remember all these names years later ....... :blink:

Mr. Campbell ( Teuchter English teacher ) always going on about yanks bombing Holy Loch. CND supporter. In my whole time there he always wore a bandage on his left wrist and it wasnt a fashion statement.

Joe Gilroy PE hated getting beat when he joined in sports esp` Football and always made sure he picked the teams. Tosser

Fanny Allan & Mrs Carmichael both previously taught at the Neilson..............

Fanny Allan was a stressed out hippie type.............

Mrs C's son was in my class, a rollypolly ruddy faced dweeb that turned into a military minded lunatic in the space of a summer...................

He is probably now in the employ of a dubious African state and in charge of a motley crew of cut throats...........................

i went to gleniffer high from aug 1990 to june 95 we had a reject headmaster from the paisley grammar he was a head of some sort he was a f**king knob called roddy gardener

Roddy Gardner was a prefect at the Grammar in 1966 when I was in first year. Presumably he must have returned there as a teacher after I had moved on. If I remember correctly he has a twin brother.
