Dr Geoff Wilson - OH Staff 1970-2006

25 Oct 2024

The arrival of girls at Hymers caused quite a stir among the younger boys but the girls had a wonderful civilising influence on Hymers. The boys even started using first names when speaking with each other! Just to show you how much things have changed over the years, I remember that the very few ladies on the staff were said to have been informed they might wear trousers - but only when there was snow on the ground. Can you believe it?
