Arthur Redsell adds: "Pongo Molyneux was a schoolteacher who lived near to my wife's home in Derby. She knew him as a neighbour and I met him casually around the period 1950 to 1960. To the best of my recollection he was a schoolmaster at Bemrose School but knowing that several Central School masters (Pritchard & Levi,  to name two) moved on to Bemrose it is just possible that he had unbeknown to me taught for a period at the Central. The recollection is very vague and should only be given credence if some else comes up with the same name." Later he writes, "I now see that both Richard Poyser and Patrick Morley have both referred to "Pongo"
as being a master at Central School during their time. Pongo Molyneux is therefore confirmed."

Roy Osborne filled in names for Donald Smith, W.G. Cook who taught General Science to first year students and was in fact my form master. Barnett (left of Pop Hanson), and the cook, Ethel Yeomans. He thinks Corky Coates' Christian name was Ernest not Eric. The debate will continue.
 

As of Jan 2006 we now have all the names! Wow. Please email corrections to me.
