I can only remember some names I'm afraid, even some of these are little more than a guess. Left to right: (front row)Phil Needler, Sylvia Jackson, Mr Millar, Paul Miller, Eileen Davies. (back row) Glenys?,?, Phil Tickler, Bob Melling, me, Brenda Storey. Perhaps others can correct me and fill in the gaps. Where are they now? |

| Hi Keith, the two missing names are I think Glenis Sabin and Ann Winstanley. If you have any other photos of either Whelley Secondary or the trips abroad it would be great to see them. I know I went on two trips one to Noli in Italy and one to Holland. Brings back a lot of memories |

| Hi Sue, good to hear from you after all these years. Yes you are of course correct with the names. Recognition is so much easier than recall! There is a picture under Whelley Sec School on this web site of a school trip to Holland in 1968. I can't see you on the photograph though. One of the things I do remember about the Noli trip (1966) was both our Mums fighting back the tears as we boarded the steam train at Wigan Northwestern.It seems a lifetime ago. |

Hi Keith. Nice to hear from you as well. I had noticed I wasn't on the Holland photograph. No idea where I had gone - knowing me probably suffering from travel sickness!!
It was a life time ago when we went to Noli and although I don't remember our mums keeping back the tears I can imagine them doing so. I don't have any photos of either holiday but I am going to ask my dad if my mum kept any. Hope she did. All the best |

| Real nice chap Mr Millar exactly the opposite of that obnoxious other Whelley school teacher Tubby Edwards, If Edwards had been teaching today he would have been sent to prison for life for what he used to do to pupils, I was there. |

| Mr Millar used to lead me out of the hall by my sidelocks not nice |

| Mr. Millar used to drag everyone out by the sidelocks be it a boy or girl. I remember that Mr.Beech used to throw the board cleaner at you if you weren't behaving yourself in class. They may have been a bit harsh looking back but you certainly respected the teachers then and it didn't do us any harm. |

| Teachers Tom Beech and Tubby Edwards, These two were the most hated teachers ever, Tubby would make you stand a full lesson if you could not do your maths, Beech was like a Nazi camp commander who would crack anyone for no reason at all. |

| It wasn't only Mr.Millar and Mr. Beech that put the fear into you. Mrs Ashley certainly put you in your place when she thought it was required and that included the lads, I was there when the other teachers were Mr. Edmondson, Mr. Simm. Mr. Farrimond, Mr. Thompson and later Mr. Birchall,Mrs. Rigby, Mrs. Walters, Miss Pass. I do see a couple of people on a regular basis ie Brenda Fairhurst, Peter Stopforth, Betty Smith, Lynn Melling occasionally Joan Roscoe and recently Ruth Banks. James Summers did a job for us a few years back but I haven,t seen him since |
