Hi
Vic Balsdon here. I was at Totnes Grammar from 1953 until 1959 and also boarded at Kennicott House.
I don't recall Stan Caldwell ever being the house master, though. "Gandhi" Ray was house master when I first went there and when Clive Owen retired as headmaster due to ill health, "Spike" Thorning took over.
Stan Caldwell lived in the cottage at the end of Kennicott drive and ride a bike to school.
The master that wore the caterpillar was V V Cooper and he taught Divinity. E S Smee was the curate that taught Physics. E S Phillips taught biology and B B Knight was the games master. Pinky Farrell was the art master.
I recall having to dry wet rugby kit in the boiler room at Kennicott.
I managed to scrounge a year in the lower sixth and subsequently joined the Royal Marines.
