Mr. Barrett was a name never used by any FGS pupil. He was
The Beeb. Believed to be a German national who arrived in Farnborough as a
result of World War II in circumstances which are totally unknown. He taught
Music and German and had a fondness for touching boys’ knees.
Famed for his 12:30 and 1:20 detentions he was deeply unpopular and
left the
school in dubious circumstances. He was afterwards occasionally to be seen at a
school on the Aldershot side of Lynchford Road near Queen’s Avenue.
