John is a Former Pupil of
Boroughmuir . He began in class 1C1 in 1949.
John lived in the Crewe area
beyond Crewe Toll. Along with three or four of the boys from his
class, he joined Ferranti Ltd and served his apprenticeship as a Tool
Fitter. He moved to Livingston, West Lothian, in 1971. He
would be keen to hear from others who remember him.

John added:
"My Register teachers were
- Class 1C1: Miss 'Maggie' Matthews,
famous for her 'BLACK BOOK'. No-one ever found out what happened if
your name went into it, but she held her classes in dread of it.
There was no need for beltings or lines or detentions for her. She was for
me superb.
- Classes 2B4 & 3B4: Messrs Mitchell (Science)
Thomson (History) & dear old 'Bob' Lowe who had been shell-shocked during
the war and who would speak, point & talk to three different people all at
one time.
Between those years I played Rugby & Cricket
for the 6th-4th teams under PT teachers Messrs Ronchetti and 'Tas'
Taylor, while George Johnstone (Tech) also supervised Rugby.
It would be interesting if any info could be
found of that era.
Here's hoping we can learn more of the
whereabouts and happenings of some of our old classmates."
