No 12 Autobiography
Last image I posted referred to my 11 plus pass. Well my mother wanted me to go to Cardiff High School but that was for posh and clever kids, I wanted to go to Cathays High it was near where I lived but ended up here. This is the school I went to, although for the first two years it was located in Fitzalan Place/Howard Gardens next to the Cardiff City Centre. The school was then relocated to Leckwith Common. In my time it was an all boys grammar school.
Have very few memories of my school years none good. Recall there was an initiation for the new boys we had to run the length of a shelter while everyone else kicked you up the backside. Also there was a competition to see who could pee highest up the wall in the outside toilet. It was a strict disciplinary school all the Masters wore cloaks and mortar boards and we wore green and yellow blazers and caps. We were caned quite regularly.
I recall that shortly after moving to the new school tragically a student fell down the centre of the stairwell and if my memory serves me right he died.In the old school we were not allowed to play soccer only rugby. Only positive point I had a good education and left with 10 'O' levels.
