Randomly dipping into and scanning my old negatives brings to the surface this early picture which must have been taken in 1966 or 1967. I was still at school and this was taken at a meeting of the School Photographic Society. I can't recall any of the names, except for the somewhat serious looking teacher in the centre : Tom "Screwy" Driver.
Love the name; we Brits love to give everyone a nick-name, first time I've heard this one, but once heard, it's so obvious.
ReplyDeleteI kinda looks like a meeting of the fans of Herman's Hermits.
ReplyDeleteScanner dipping - love it!
ReplyDeleteWe had a maths teacher called Mr Clark. Or possibly Clarke. At this distance I don't remember. But for some reason we all called him Teddy Tarantula. He was a rubbish teacher but he had a degree in maths and was therefore put in charge of division 1 maths. Unfortunately I'm not now and never have been good at maths and Teddy didn't help at all.
ReplyDeleteCool name! :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys wore ties and jackets to school? It looks like most school photo labs...down in the basement.
ReplyDeleteA Photographic Society would have been right up your alley. A historic shot.
