Aston Commercial

John,

Brenda Leonard is on the Friends Reunited site under my old school Aston Commercial in the leaving year 1955. If you subscribe to FRU you'll be able to email her. I don't subscribe.

:( I was too thick to go to grammar school but that's a nice site you've got there, DD. :lol:
 
Thanks Paul - your French ain't bad though ! n'est-ce pas ?
The Aston Commercial/Holte Grammar Website is updated with new resources from former pupils fairly regularly. The most recent addition is pages from the school magazine; The AXE from 1951, which refers to the school summer camp in Broom. Sylvia Sayers as an A.C.S. former pupil refers to this camp in her memoirs on this site.
:D
 
Confession, DD: My daughter translated the phrase I wanted into French. I ain't that clever. :(

I hope it says what it's supposed to and not something really naughty. :?

Re: 195?

Hi,
My grandfather went to Aston Commercial School in the 1930's and I found a 1/6d panorama photograph in a cardboard tube. So here is a scanned version for anyone who might be interested.

Thanks,
Mark

hello Beryl, I well remember the brown uniform, but also remember with hatred the horrible brown cap we had to wear. It was the only school I know, where girls had to wear a cap!
