I went St Marks in the 1970s. Is the teacher in the photo Mr Green?

The male teacher in the picture is the headmaster Mr Smith. Mr Green was the teacher for class 3; he was a very good teacher and a nice man, well respected by the pupils. He looked like an ex RAF member with an Errol Flynn type moustache and an air of confident poise about him. I can remember being worried about moving up to Miss Knight's class, because she seemed very strict and full of authority, but she turned out to be a very good teacher too.

Mr Green was actually in the RAF and took part in the Battle of Britain. I think the unknown names are Lesley Ward 2nd row, 4th in from the right Claudia Hewitt, and mid front row is David Smart, who I believe drowned within a few years of this photo. Hi Mick how are you - long time no see.

Hello Michael and Michael, It’s been a while. I left England in 1974, joined the Canadian Armed forces, served 30 years with them, visited Brighton about three years back, ran into some guys I went to secondary school with, found this site shortly after wrote a piece on that site too. I never thought I would hear tell of you two again. To Michael Britain, I remember well the times we went to eachothers home for supper, and some of the laughs we used have; at Miss Knight’s frustration, trying to make ourselves fart, I 'm still chuckling, I seem to remember you were better at it than me. To Michael Mountford, I remember also the times we use to play after school, since you lived on my way home, at the top of Whitehawk. Nice to hear you are both well, Tony Arcand, Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Hi Tony. Nice to hear from you. If you are over again sometime maybe we could meet for a beer? Check out my band's website www.parlophones.co.uk

Hi Michael, what a surprise to see your name on this site. Can you remember me walking with you in the dark, walking along the seafront when it was raining really hard? I have never forgotten you. I have spoken to your brother Andy. I thought it was your Dad, didn't realise hs your younger brother. I now live in Yorkshire, been up here for 34 years now. I have always wondered if you ever got married and have children. Your music is really good, I have downloaded some of it. My kids think I'm crackers. Anyway, get in touch won't you.

Hi there Tony and Michael, great to hear from you both. Tony, I do remember having tea at your home in the flats and I do remember you driving me home once on your red flyer cart. If you’re ever around Brighton look me up, I work at the Royal Sussex County Hospital - switchboard will find me. We could go for a beer and rustle up a few farts and just sit there giggling for old time’s sake. Michael, nice to hear from you too; it's good to see that you are in a band. I remember at school you were into music especially The Beatles; I think you liked John Lennon in particular. It’s hard to believe the photo is 40 odd years old because my mind still thinks I’m in my 20s, mind you my body tells me I’m in my 50s in the morning. I’ve a class of 1965 photo with everybody’s favourite teacher Miss Mawhinney. I’m going to put it on the site soon, but unfortunately I don’t think you two are in it. Still I’m sure you will recognise most of the faces in the photo.

Hi Michael and Michael. I'm on the top row third from the end, and one should be Nicky Lidster but can't remember his face though. In the other picture for 1965 on the top row is Michael Nobbs. I was in Mr Green's class, he went on to become the headmaster when Mr Smith retired. Do you remember Miss Catlow or Miss Dawling? Good memories.

Hi Denise. I still remember you after 40 years - I'm glad you're OK. I did get married and I've got three kids! I'm starting up a new band in a couple of weeks so you and anybody else are welcome to get in touch at www.thevoxbeatles.co.uk  Cheers

I started St Mark's in 1967 and was there to 1976. I did not like it. I always felt very lonely .

Hi Michael,I'm glad that you got in touch, I cannot believe it has been 40 years since I last seen you. Time does fly. Do you still lived in Brighton or have you moved elsewhere? Nice to hear from you and I am really glad that you remembered me.  Let me know when you have a gig up in Yorkshire - or even in Liverpool.

Hi Denise, it's possible we might be at the Beatles week in Liverpool end of August 2012!

Hi Mike, I do hope you do. I will looked forward to going. Ohh cannot wait I am an avid fan of 60s and 70s and drive my lot up the wall ha ha. I do hope you are well. What happen to your other group? My e-mail is deniseshops55@hotmail.co.uk if you want to keep in touch. Do miss Brighton a lot; my family are still down there and I was in brighton last year just before Christmas - a lot of changes. Everything seems different. I took my husband down and showed him round Brighton, but the memories are still there of when I was a young girl ha ha.

So pleased that my old school photo is being looked at and bringing back memories.
