Thought I would add my 1d's worth on the Goldings dress.
I seem to recall that it was Khaki shirts and shorts during the summer month's, for both school and the workshops. In the winter it was Grey flannels and I think pale blue shirts(The prefects had dark blue shirts). For Sunday parades and church, it was Green blazer and grey flannels. For town and other events, it was Grey flannels and Green blazer or Sports jacket. The flannels would remain under your matress between 2 pieces of hardboard or ply wood to keep in the creases. My trousers were held up with those muli coloured striped elesticated belts with the "S" type fastener. Some would spit and polish their shoes to a high shine. As I worked in the shoe shop, I cheated and polished mine on the machines. Ay' what great days.

Hi all,Len and John, as regards to khaki shorts and shirts, in the 60s we all had to wear them in the summer but not if you were in the class rooms at school,99 percent of the boys would roll up the shorts as high as poss some times you could see the pockets hanging out under the rolled up bit, shirt collars would be standing up at the back
and down at the front like Elvis Presley,and then the sleeves would also be rolled up 2 turns,and if im not mistaken house captains would have faded blue shirts.
At any time when we had to wear a tie most 60s boys would turn the pointed bits of the collar under to square the collar off like fashonable shirts you could buy in the shops
all the best. Tony

Many thanks for the info lads,it's helping me build a picture of our dress through the various era's for the Goldings book.I personally think there's a film awaiting out there if Richard Attenborough could be made interested along the lines of the film "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" an excellent British film to mention on St Georges Day.
David Wheatley rang me two days ago with memories of his fathers first day at Goldings.He came down past the lawn and called inside the prefects hut (the left hand side of the Rec hut,later to be used for haircutting)and there was a stove fire buring away with a saucepan on the boil with eight eggs in (were they came from we didn't know??)as he surveyed around the hut,and later to return to the stove fire,there was now only two eggs in there? His first day,what other incidents were to unfold in the next 21 years? April 1'st 1945.
David is also bringing along the "Queens Cup" and other items associated with Goldings to the re-union,so on the day the one's who have the most attending from our past "House's" will become the winners of the cup(as suggested by Mike Justice)He is also enquiring what happened to Mr K.R.Wood who worked with Mr Maslin in the office,as all I can tell him that in quoting March 1967 Goldonian "Mr K.R.Wood,our School Secretary has now joined the staff of Barclays Bank as releif cashier.David has also suggested a "Questions and Answers" on the day of the re-union,which he is prepared to help out with,what does everybody think,myself I think it's a good idea to refresh our memories.Dave
