Like Alan and many others I remember Mrs Halfhide I was a frequent visitor to sickbay with nose bleeds and rotten tonsils which were later removed by Dr Death at the Australasian Hospital at Barkingside,
Please pass on our respects to Dots family not many of the wonderful staff left
Just read the Printing story for the first time, couple of pictures of me including the one by the Hydelberg Platen I remember well Peter Mitchel was the first one to run this brand new machine must have been about 1957
in with Bill Purkiss he was a wonderful instructor how he put up with us I will never know, he kept in touch for many years after I left, he came to our wedding in 1959 hardly seems 52 years ago happy days

Malcolm,looking at a Goldonian Winter 1962, this is what you wrote.
'Dot's' Stall
About eight weeks before the Exhibition a lady called Mrs. Halfhide (affectionately known to the boys as 'Dot') had the brilliant idea of selling things which the boys had made. During the Exhibition 'Dot' had a stall in the corner of the lounge; it was arranged with tin kettles, dustpans, cake tins, stool frames, etc. There were also some very nice flowers and fruit on sale. 'Dot' and her daughter Jeanette has spent many hours of preparation embroidering pillow slips, hot water bottle covers and dressing a variety of dolls. There were some early Christmas cards on sale too. During the four days of the Exhibition 'Dot' did a roaring trade which helped in no small measure towards the success of the whole Exhibition.

Hi Dave
Very interested to see on this years reunion list, Alan Ives who was our School Capt many years ago, I shall look forward to speaking to him again, last time was when it was held at the School in 1993(give or take a year).

Hi Pop and Dave, I'm sure I remember Sister Dot Halfhide during my stay at goldings from 1955-59 but do not recall having any direct dealings with her as I spent little time in the sick bay, but the name does ring a bell with me.
Please pass my sincere sympathy to her family.
In the mean time, if the family would like a Goldings representative at the funeral, I would be more than happy to attend, as Loughborough is only 25/30 minutes drive away for me.
