School
History....Well, we've made a pretty
poor attempt to detail the history of the school.
Despite the best attempts of Gerald 'Scrumcap'
Miller and Mogs 'Mogs' Morgan we are a bit stuck.
Please have a look at the (currently unlinked)
history page and let us know if you have any
further information.

David Olley (SNOB:
1961) has put a scan of the 1956 school photo on
his personal website. A link can be found from
our pictures page. The key question is: Did Dr
Watson have an identical twin also working at the
school....or is that Mr Smith (SNOBmaster:
Music)??

Mike Pipe (SNOB:
1969) has sent us an unlikely story of a trip to
the Soviet Union in 1969 along with two girls
from St Mary's. While there he was clearly
influenced by news manipulation techniques and
claims that this trip was the first undertaken by
the school. Read his story on our Stories page.

Sweet at St
Nicks? Regular readers of the
message board will see that the 70's
super-glam-rock-type-group "The Sweet"
(whose hits include "Blockbuster" and
...er.....that other one) did indeed perform in
the school hall in 1969. Any photographic
evidence out there?

Anyone remember
'Gunsmoke' Ridge
(Maths) - nicknamed via his confiscation of the
paperback "The Battle of
Gunsmoke Ridge"? What about Mr Demery who
found the fish in his desk drawer on his return
from Easter holidays. What did Mr Komatsu
(Chemistry) do with a
fire-extinguisher and yellow potassium? Any more
detail on these and any others is welcomed!

Musical
SNOBmasters....? Rumours
reach the SNOBS newsdesk that a certain F. Toms
(SNOBmaster: chemistry) has a new career as a
jazz piano-player. Those SNOBs who remember the
school's token northerner (and his discourses on
escalator rubber) may be interested to keep an
eye out for The Frank Toms Trio in
the vicinity of Marlow Bottom. Reports and pics
welcomed.....

Richest SNOB
Well....we think we are now pretty sure of the
identity of the richest SNOB (worth a few hundred
million, apparently). We also understand he owes
Jeff Duley (1963) two shillings, so we would be
grateful if would settle his debts (and slip us
some sponsorship with the change....?).

More famous
SNOBs!!:
Enter Marc Peirson (1976) who has written scripts
for EastEnders, Holby City and several other BBC
progs.
John Henderson (1965) was the director of that
memorable and quintessentially English film
"The Borrowers", assisted by the famous
Tickner brothers (also SNOBs) who provided the
art direction. Sadly John doesn't merit any
rotten tomatoes at www.rottentomatoes.com but
we're sure it's only a matter of time......
Meanwhile...Steve Johnson (1976) was awarded the
Freedom of The City of London by the Lord
Mayor, Sir Peter Henry Newall on 4th July, 1994

forward Tony Hymas (1960).
