I was a boarder at Thornleigh from 1950 to 1954.After the initial shock of leaving home I settled down fairly well.Didn't do very well in education, but was given an enduring faith. Left after 4 Gamma to do my GCEs at a local technical college. Worked in machine tool engineering.

I loved Fr McGovern and played the flute in the orchestra. Happy days!

Dear Fellow Guests,

I was at Cowley up until 1958 and my last form was 4B (i think). I would love to hear from anyone who was at the school around that time.

It's so good that people are able to get in touch through initiatives like this, although many of us maybe a bit too old to bother?

Although it was so many years ago, some things i remember as if yesterday. Fr Crummey (English), Fr (Killer) Jennings (Boxing), Bro Broder(Science), Fr McTague (Latin), Fr Power (French), Fr (Dizzey) Doyle (Head Master), Fr Dr Archer (Head of 6th form) Fr Maguire (?) (Music). (Excuse spellings).

Best regards

Jerry
