So, for those of you who couldn't make it to Tech this afternoon, a few snaps.
 |
| ABOVE: Roll call - Miller, Lewis, Pearsall, Gard. |
 |
| ABOVE: Come here, Pearsall. |
 |
| ABOVE: The Colditz Story - Tech's quadrangle, not quite as we all knew it. Bong's quarter deck (centre left) has been demolished. Bing's shouting platform remains. (Resistance IS useless.) |
 |
| ABOVE: Bang out your doors. Gard contemplates the unaltered austerity of the STHS corridors. |
 |
| ABOVE: Tony Pearsall encounters the ghost of Bob Booth, still haunting the Science Labs. Bob explains the danger of working with mercury and A class students. (Bob could recall Roger Renton, Jon Page, but none of us. QED.) |
 |
| ABOVE: Col Stanger's metalwork room. Is this the grim, grimy, macho environment we knew? Soldering stations? And where's Col's oxy blowtorch the yellow flame of which he used to turn on us, if we crowded too close to one of his demos? |
 |
| ABOVE: Former school library, now a rather soul-less 'performance space'. Close examination of the skirting boards shows shoe scuffs of past circling boys. For those who have forgotten, walking laps of the library, undetected by a teacher, was one of the indoor sports of our bored, Sixties cohort. |
