Derek Patterson Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 He was my guidance teacher and he didn't have a clue. I heard that Mr Hunter the music teacher left his wife and kids as he was gay, but its probably just a rumor. He was indeed a strangegirth. For almost a year he was never in the class. I don't have a clue where he actually went. Everyone just pissed about playing guitar & going mental on the drum kit until Alzo Kellman came in to get abody to shut up. Can mind hearing someone found a huge stash of weed behind the fridge in the wee lounge up the stairs in the music dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Ziggy Stardust Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I reckon you were at the Grammar the same time as me Chips. Mr Bruce (PE) used to famously say "I want to see all you boys in the showers afterwards." He had a habit of giving you a "helping hand" over the gymnastics vaults things. Do you know a Craig Buchanan from Stanley, he'll be aged about 40 now? He was one of the heavy metal dudes, ginger hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital Saint Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Mr McAlpine, geography teacher AKA Donald Maxwell http://www.nationaloperastudio.org.uk/staffbiogs/maxwell.htm Poor guy, he got a roasting from us, we even locked him in his own cupboard once. He was best known for his saying "Four columns" which he gave out as punishment instead of lines. If the columns weren't copied (and I only remember one person doing it) you got the belt. Thank goodness he left teaching to become an opera singer cause he was not really teacher material. But a very nice man nonetheless. I was in second year when he left and, dear knows how we managed it (I think we would only have been 14), but we got him a bottle of spirits as a going away present. I also remember him giving a rather fine farewell concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.w Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 When I was at the Academy many years ago the Rector was a gentleman by the name of John Kerr he was one of those guys who gave you a look and you shet your drawers, had a Biology teacher Miss MacFarlane who was always sending us clowns to the Rector so we would go to the boys toilets and stick our hand into as hot water as possible rather than go to his office, One look at your bright red hand on return to class put a smirk on her face. But Kerr was a fair guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweesausage Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yea - forgot about him! D#ndee fan wasn't he?

soulfulsaint Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Any one mind oh Ned Hunter and Hodge from The Academy???? couple of right bas......rds!!! Ned Hunter was a snob. Ask Atholl Henderson he even tried to prevent AH from playing football for Scotland because of his personal interest in rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he holds whatever qualifications required to conduct a legal marriage ceremony... Mrs Whatley's first husband was one of my mum's law lecturers at Dundee Yooooony at the same time Mrs Whatley was teaching me...which is around the same time she met Mr Salisbury...

1884 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Oh, and rumour has it that the afore mentioned Mr Bruce (PE) used to give the lads a 'Brucie Bonus' in the showers after PE...? Mr Rushbury (tech) was a great teacher but died (heart attack iirc) during term time. I remember Mr 'Budgie' Baxter too - he taught us Classical studies back in first year. Used to get the sh!t ripped out of him constantly. I believe he went off sick due to stress and then heard he'd gone to teach at yooony instead cos he couldn't handle teaching teenagers. Shame...

He was at Perth High when I was there but left after a while. Never had him as a teacher but he always seemed to be a general purveyor of petulance whenever he was in the classroom next door.

I was working at Perth Academy 4 years ago and he was teaching there at the time. He does look pretty glum all the time but is really quite a pleasant chap.
