Thought I recognised a couple of great plum (or should that be Great Plum), due to his similarity to his father when he was 18 years old.

If he's the taller one in the centre of both pictures, my identification was right. (always worrying when you grow to look like your father.)

There's a very fetching photo of the 'two tenors'..........

For those who didn't make it, you may be able to find some familar faces.
I had a look. Which number is the two tenors then?

Some of the women looked like my peers but I didn't recognise anyone.
I had to check one out.

From the 'thumb-nail', I was sure it was Dr. Germaine Greer ! (sp ?)

Yes its me... Dad had longer hair when he was a Grecian!

It looks like Ruth has stood on my foot in the second photo!

I remember the photo of the opening of the Grecians' Club. You're right, he did have longer hair (well, at the back and sides, anyway).

He was a Grecian when I was a junior, so I was vaguely aware of his existence from quite a young age.

Didn't he return to C.H. as an exam invigilator at some point.....?

Well, I'm in there somewhere (a distant shot, fortunately!).

I was one of the 'sit-near-the-back-hoping-not-to-be-noticed' types, the problem being that, pushing 6'3" and being quite large of build, I couldn't escape completely!

Very true - there's a picture of him somewhere with shoulder length hair with a picture of the other school monitors...

He has been teaching at CH since 1992 -is that what you mean?

No, I think he returned as an invigilator while I was still a pupil there......
