A school photograph capturing the scoundrels of form 4A if memory serves, I think it was 1970 but I’m not sure… I found it among my deceased mothers possessions and thought some my like to have a shot at putting names to faces, identify the living…. and the departed. I can name almost all. I am second from the right front row sat next to Tony Bailey first right. With “Billy Cap” sitting proudly in the centre who ruled over the class with a rod of iron, and a table tennis bat with which he dealt out summary justice on the spot!

The teacher is indeed Billy Maclean, at St Bede’s for very many years. Taught music then later English.
Billy passed away a few years ago in his nineties.

I believe the second on the left on second row is John Peacock, stood between Ray Mallon and Paul Etherington, a good lad and keen cyclist as I recall, better than I was anyway, On reflection I’m thinking this picture was earlier than 1970…. maybe around 1968/69

Looks like my brother second on the left on second row. I was next door at St Mary’s in second year.
