I lived next door to Mal Hughes when I was a kid, and hung around with his son (a good lad)- he was a decent bloke out of school but I ran into him later as a pupil in my teens and he seemed to delight in thinking up original punishments, though corporal punishment was outlawed by then (probably to his frustration).
Des Pollard was completely spineless and had no control over anyone. Trev Grimshaw didn't keep much control either but was a good chap and a laugh.
The one I want to meet again is (Tony?) Burnley, a sadist who got off on bullying kids.
I had a couple of years of Chesterfield Boys before the changes to all the schools in the area and it became Brookfield. Certainly remember Pollard and Grimshaw, neither of whom were capable of controlling classes. There was the old English teacher who was more concerned about his classic bus that he did up, tinkered with and took to shows and there was a maths teacher as well who you could get away with murder with....we spent a month of classes one year playing cards and telling him we were studying probability!!
