Who could forget Harry Hawke's brown plimsoll! He was assistant house master at Kennicott and both he, and the landing outside his room, stank of tobacco smoke.
My contemporaries at Kennicott were: C D "Charlie" Wrote, Mike Poll, Mike Savva, Tony Vickers.
Tony "Moley" Cole, a day boy from Paignton, was my pal, and his family invited me to stay at their home at weekends.
Ron Lemmy, from Brixham, played second row with me in the school rugby team.
It was always church on Sunday morning, followed by a walk around Darlington Hall in the afternoon.
