School Masters - 1958 to 1961
A few sneaky pictures of school masters and a more formal group dating from 1957. A pity I didn’t have my camera at the ready when The Jab (a.k.a. the Prod) was lecturing a small class of bored individuals on the perils of smoking. He went to sneeze at one point, hastily scrambled for his handkerchief and a packet of 20 Players Virginia fell out of his trouser pocket. Sniggers all round!
John Attree also appears on the ‘Welsh Holiday’ pages and Eli Eltringham along with Bill Rayner may be seen on the ‘Sports Day’ pages.
