1947 

SCOT

Slightly eccentric, to say the least!  Taught RI, music and silent reading in the Shells, Most of his classes were in the East and West rooms.  His only actual teaching done in the shells was to give all the answers for the end of year exams in RI.   For the rest of the year he read his bible and made comments from time to time, caning if needs be to keep the boys quiet, who spent their time reading comics.

He was a brilliant pianist and organist and his music lessons were in fact singing.

He was a roman catholic, very clever in the Bible, Greek and Latin.

He probably lived in London for he came to the school only a few days per week, and always left school 10 minutes early to get the bus outside the school main entrance to go to Luton. (There was at that time a train from Dunstable to Luton, the old LNER line, but not a regular service with about three trains per day).

The head and Cadle finally decided to let Scot teach first year Latin (in the 3^rd form), but Cadle used to come often to give tests to check the progress.  So Scot, determined to succeed, taught with a grammar primer in one hand, his cane in the other!
