So what do all the former Thorntonians reckon, on it changing to a girls' house? Personally after these 5-and-a-bit years I think it's quite sad. By the way, I hope you'll be pleased to know that we did rather ell in House Singing this year. We won the partsong with 'Goodnight sweetheart', and our unison (YMCA!) came runner-up. I believe it's the first time we've won anything in that field since the 1960s.

Re: Thornton House Photos
Incidentally "Linton" on the 1962 picture is Martin Linton, now the Labour MP for Battersea.

Re: Thornton House Photos
Mr Page, the housemaster in 1962/63, had previously been housemaster of Thornton B. He moved to Thornton A, because having got married* (in 1960, I think), he found that living in West Gun Copse road (about 150 yrds away) was "too far". He was succeeded in Thornton B by Pat Cullen, who proceeded to get married himself, and for a time lived in Worthing (!).
* He married the daughter of his colleague "Boom" Macnutt (Ximenes, the crossword writer).

Re: Thornton House Photos
in the 1962 photo, I think you will find that ex Barnes B is Ledeboer, Nigel, if I remember correctly. Got his colours at rugby. His brother, Pete, remained in Barnes B, whopping the bass drum.
Paddy Cullen was also ex Barnes B, we seemed to export a lot.

Re: Thornton House Photos
It went both ways. John Watts and Noel Kirker both went from Thornton B to Barnes B.jhopgood wrote:in the 1962 photo, I think you will find that ex Barnes B is Ledeboer, Nigel, if I remember correctly. Got his colours at rugby. His brother, Pete, remained in Barnes B, whopping the bass drum.

Re: Thornton House Photos
This is Thornton B at the head of the St Matthew's Day parade in 1962. The SG Mike Pitcher had been in Th B until the previous July, he moved to Th. A. I am next to him.

Re: Thornton House Photos
coorrr...just come across this.....photo from JDS is interesting - JMC looks like I remember him as does JDS. I think this must be summer 74 ish or thinking about it 75. Peter and William Hatt-Lipscombe jump out as do the Sandys brothers and Peter (?) Oliver. I'd left the school by then but what a memory jerker!
Hopefully a photo with me on it wont appear!!!

Re: Thornton House Photos
Just seen this.
Three rows back, I believe is Peter Chapman, the year before me in my junior school, Wyborne, and behind him is David Norgrove, who has his own entry in Wikipedia.

Re: Thornton House Photos
Here's Thornton A, 1997. Mr O'Boyle, housemaster, is third row fifth from left. House captain Nick Wolstenholme in the center and Mr Phelps / Philps (?) the other side. I can't remember how to spell his last name but do remember he taught maths and could juggle. I forget the name of the CDT teacher next to Matron (I forget Matron's name too), but he was a laugh and Mr Marlow is next to him. I'm on the far left. Oh, the memories. I don't know why were on the quad for the picture, rather than outside the house though.

Re: Thornton House Photos
Whoever took that picture ought to be shot. The lighting is dreadful.
