I was there from 1946-1950 – we had to memorize the school song - Vivat floreat Totnesia and often sung it, but this is the first time that I have seen the English translation. I can still vividly picture the staff Messrs: C D T OWEN (Claud) Headmaster- PHELPS (Phelper) English, HOWARD (Epo) Latin , RAY (Ghandi) Geography. HAWKE (Harry) History, Rev SMEE (Gaffer) Physics ROLANDS (Pop) Divinity. BOOKER (Bill) Woodwork, CALDWELL (Stan) French, GUY (Basil) PE & Sports, FOSTER (Shell) Maths, FRAYNE (Freddie) Chemistry, FARRELL – Art

Discipline was strict then - how times have changed!!
