What were the "house names" in your school?

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Surprising lack of Catholicism on this thread so far. Cottesmore was (and still is)

Fisher
Howard
Campion
More

Same as De La Salle.

More was yellow. Although as the school was winding down they were not as important as previous years.

If you had an older sibling you went into the same house - for some reason.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Oh and at prep school they were Wellington, Clive, Scott and Nelson.

Prep school!

Cor blimey mate!!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I was in Trustram - as my dad had been.

When were you there? I did my stretch between 68 and 75

65 to 72 - 1.6 (Charlie Law), 2.3 (Sammy Turner!!), 3.5(My memory is fading), 4.29(It was a long time ago), 5.40(John Cunningham), L(vi)23(Jack Milford?), U(vi)23(Jack Milford?)

Many unhappy memories of Harry Alt & George Ely though
