I know I did French, (metaphorically speaking), during my entire time at CH, but for the life of me, I can't remember any of the teachers who attempted to teach it to me. Must have been boring.DavebytheSea wrote:I assure you there were one or two. Arthur Rider for one and Noel "Sam" Sargent for another.J.R. wrote:Oh Dear

That'd be Mr Watson (RIP) at Hertford - I was scared sh*tless of him.Tim_MaA_MidB wrote:I am trying to recall the name of one of the most feared teachers at CH.

I don't remember anyone getting caned at Hertford. The punishments they liked to dish out were standing on the dais with your back to everyone else in the dining hall (and stood next to the head mistresses table) or sitting at the back of the chapel next to the school monitors.soc wrote:Did the girls ever get beatings at Hertford?

Well to be honest I thought the same when I was at Hertford By the time we moved to Horsham I was an angel. Well, not quite - I just didn't get caught doing anything naughty Apart from when Mr Alexander drove past me & another girl walking back from Horsham in the dark. He escorted us back to Barnes and of course informed Miss Lindsay. Got a bit of a telling off for that but apart from that and the one occasion when I had to prove I was sober by walking in a straight line I got away with things.soc wrote:for some reason, we seemed to regard getting punished as a badge of honour or status.

I bet you were any angel!
I remember a friend and I walking back from Horsham one afternoon, well we were floating back. We had just sampled so local cider! He was asked to walk a line as proof that he was sober and he promptly asked "what line sir?" He failed, what a shock. I didn't have to do the test because I couldn't stop laughing, so I had to spend the night in the infirmary.
