Clara Cluck was 'Miss Macdairmid'! (not sure of spelling.) Us prefects used to send the first years to ask for her in the staff room on their first day...... I've still got my school gym slip - beat that! Memories are made of this! RA - Left for Cathkin High 1970. 4 November 2005 - Scotland Webmaster comments   I've still got my first year PE shorts complete with all the &%$£*"!*... AND they still fit me...just. Beat that! ;-)

Left RA in 1963 or 64. Have just looked out old school photo!! Recall Mr Patterson (headmaster), Norman Buchan (Charlie), (still have my copy of 101 Scottish Folk Songs), Big Bill Jackson, Dan Livingston, Joe Cowper, 'Clara Cluck' who taught maths - can't for the life of me recall her surname, but think we might have caused her to have a nervous breakdown. She fancied a very overweight Latin teacher and was always greasing up to him. Ma Murphy who took music - have a memory of one classes where we all sang loudly and held the last note for ages which drowned out the bell for the end of the period. She was so delighted by our enthusiasm that the class ran over by about 15 minutes to the annoyance of the following class teacher no doubt. Also Mr Irvine who the girls all fancied. Certainly brings back lots of memories, mostly good. 28 August 2005 - New Zealand Webmaster comments   Although before my time the name 'Clara Cluck' rings bells probably because my big cousin Jim (RA 1961-67) got her for maths as well. Sadly I cannot help with a surname. Anyone...?
