Vs Wolves

Eyup Hemsworth! Stanley Royd!! Memories of Wakey come flooding back, I was dragged up there from age 10 to 18 (freezing my nuts off during games playing rugby at QEGS) and spent a couple of years before that at Hemsworth. <misty eyed>

Ooops! Is you Hemsworth S14 or Hemsworth WF9?

Labor Ipse Voluptas


Sons of Yorkshire, lift your voices, joyfully proclaim,
Honour to the School that bred you, glory in its name
Yorkshire's daughters swell the chorus, echo loud your praise,
Hail with song the School that gives you joyful happy days.

Here to-day and gone to-morrow,
Days at School will quickly pass;
Let your work be joy not sorrow;
"Labor ipse voluptas."

I lived on Elm Road and went to school where the new Tesco is. I remember the bus station on the triangle between Barnsley Road and Market Street.

That's the old Grammar School Song before it went comprehensive.<mistyeyes>

Labor Ipse Voluptas? Gi'oer! Since when has work been it own reward? Give me the money!

My school motto was Turpe Nescire, meaning it is a disgrace to be ignorant. Or as we had it, turps and nescafe.

Our school was too poor to have a motto...etc.

Our school was a cardboard box and dint have any teachers..

..so no names were called out during registration..

..so yer dint know if yer were there or not

You went to Trumpton High then,

I remember that register,Pugh,Pugh Barney McGrew,Cuthbert, Dibble,Grub




and Dry.
