I recall one boy, let’s just call him William, was in Sixth Year Studies with me, i.e. we were a few weeks or months short of our 18th birthdays and almost ready for university, we were allowed fairly lightly supervised Study Periods and quite a bit of freedom in our comings and goings, no uniform, we were treated as ‘young adults’ to quote the namby-pamby Form Master; but an ‘utter nonsense’ in the opinion of a Mr McNulty who took the English component and who was a crusty 55 year old made of granite chippings and gravel. He stood about 5 foot 7 but was solid as The Bass Rock.
