I was speaking to a Hornsey resident who goes to St Mary with St George church who tells me that the stained glass window from the school was donated to the church and is still there. Does anyone have a photo?

Crikey !! Must've taken all morning/afternoon to line that lot up.  There must be a few HoLrs amongst that I would guess.  So what one is you ?

As I recall it did take ages and was very boring. I did find myself once. I'll have another go!

Done it. Now to describe. If you recall Sam Reed, Geography and later headmaster - he is near the right hand end of the masters row. Now look up and behind him slightly to the left - the boy with untidy hair and his eyes apparently close is me!

Not me, not there, but yes the same thing. Ours* was the same sequence, forms 1 to 7 bottom to top with the masters (yes only, then) in the middle of the row of the chairs.

There's of course the urban legend of the pupil who appeared twice, at each end of the photo, since the scanning camera lens took a decent time from far left to far right. But, hah, 'photos or it didn't happen'!

*Fancy name, Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, Rochester. Not Grammar. Though when I went it was by then a standard state grammar school with few airs and graces. Sir Joseph was a mate of Pepys and was keen that fewer of His Majesty's Ships came to grief through incorrect navigation, hence the Mathematical.
