I started my school life in 1967 at Ysgol Twthill, wrote Gareth Edwards. My first teacher was Mrs Williams. My second teacher was Mrs Hughes, followed by Mrs Meurig Williams. This class was situated in the Annex sheds overlooking the old Pavilion site.
I also remember a small golf putting range there and a couple of tennis courts. (Where the Council offices are now).
The old Twthill school was mixed (boys and girls) but after this class we (the boys) were moved to the Boys School in South Penrallt. Our first teacher was again called Mrs Hughes, followed by Mr Robin Jones, then Mr Bleddyn Williams and finally Mr Hugh Dylan Williams.
We were in fact the last class at Ysgol Hogia before it was closed down. This was unfortunate because we were separated from some of our friends. Some were sent to Ysgol Twthill, others to Ysgol Maesincla.
I was sent to Ysgol Maesincla for about 8 months. Here we were put in class 4a Mr Jones from Bethel, who was very keen on football. I remember we won everything that year (Man Utd of our day). We were then in the big league (as far as schools went).
We were now at Ysgol Segontium. Our form mistress in 1M was Mrs Martin (I think), I certainly remember 2P as our form mistress was Mrs Parry (Pledge to you and me). I remember the nicknames of many, such as Commando and Polly, perhaps some of you can tell us of more?
Life was good then (not that it isn't now) and yes, we did receive the cane if we misbehaved.... Yes and so did I ...once. Did it do me any good? Well let's say I never received it again?
Write in with your stories. About Parry Art, Parry Maths. Pritchard Gym, Willais History, Mr Dyer, Mr McCollum. I bet that's jogged a few memories??
