The teacher who liked to throw the blackboard duster was Mr Currie....he once threw it at me, I caught it and threw it back to him! Basher Forbes my x-country coach was a better marksman at duster throwing.
Creeper, the RI teacher was quite unique, he knew the bible off by heart, could recite any paragraph!
Mr Mathers I think was one name of drama teacher who we nicknamed drac, he would search out the smokers at break time!
It was Dickie Durrant the deputy to Mr Armishaw, to whom we arranged an undertakers  visit to his house on April 1st. I  sat in detention a few times with Dickie Durrant.
The Geography teacher Mr Grimshaw (Ted I think) ...sat in detention too and made you write out 100 times, "the fundamental principal of cartographic  technique, is to draw the outline in ink".
Syd Owens arrived in the 70's too, I used to clean his car and his neighbours for 2 shillings and sixpence.  Mr Siddel, my Latin teacher AKA Trogg, a very pleasant man,  passed away sadly with leukemia, he lived close to Mr Owens too on Etchels road.
Mr Lea, the French teacher was my arch enemy, told me I would be a failure to which I promptly replied, No sir, I will never be a teacher, I was a little rebel in many ways.
Another teacher was nicknamed noddy and reported to have been a stock car racer in his past.

Morning all, or few as it may seem,
I was at MHGS between 1959 and 1965 when we emigrated to Coventry.  My time at 'Mouldy Hole' was often a flashing memory as we lived in Poynton and the 6.1 miles from home (a walk and a bus-ride) seemed interminable. I was in 'Bulkely' House and played as 'house-hooker' - not being agile enough for football.  I remember well some of the guards - Cyril Armishaw, Dicky Durrant, Jack (Drac) Mathers, George Wilson, Mr Jones the music teacher, 'Basher' Forbes the PE 'teacher' or tortuer (I know its not a real word but is fits the bill!) My immediate 'coterie' were Bob van Gaalen, Rich Russell, Andy Trapp and Dennis/David Owen - for my sins I am Frank Tunney, oft called 'Fish Face' (Kids can be so hurtful, but astute!)

Hi
I helped create the MHGS website run by Chris Pickles.  We were able to acquire a large number of photos, etc.    There are even O level, A level and S level papers.  I was there from 1962 until I left in 1967.  There a number of the large year photographs.  i organised a reunion for pupils from 1965 to 1968 at Stockport FC ground.  we had several teachers as well pupils.

Go to Chris' website and see what there is.

When I put together content for the website, I transcribed many of the articles in the school magazine, the Chedlian.  Sadly I was not able to scan the artwork as I did not have the technology then.
I have just read some of the articles from school trips to sport team information.
If you read them you will the names of many fellow pupils and teachers.

Chris Picking did a great great job of rescuing the site and adding lots of new content.
