Moseley school of art

[Lancashire Lad]

Another photo of some of the staff & pupils of the school in 1962 at least that's the date given with the photo. A couple of things that I note from the photo are the ratio of of boys to girls is about 2-1, are boys more artistic than girls? Mind you it might not be the full photo. The other thing is I wonder what caught the eyes of the group of lads on the right? Any of our posters pupils there in 1962?

Although I did not attend Moseley School of Art; my "uncle" Ernie Price taught there. He is centre front row in this picture (interestingly I think the teacher 5th from the right is Mr Shepherd who taught me English at Moseley Grammar School). I attach the letter I sent out trying to find people who knew him before his funeral. Not my real uncle; he was always Uncle Ernie being born next door to my father in Fir Avenue Balsall Heath and they remained firm friends throughout their lives.

Nice pictures...the first one is the main corridor through the school, where, as a first year student, you would "run the gauntlet" most days.

Here is a not so great photo of our 50th reunion of the MSA class 1953-56. Butch Taylor and Moggy Mason were there, not sure if they are in the picture here...

My grandfather William Arthur Dyer went there in the 1920s. I have this photo of him and it looks like it's a school uniform he's wearing. I wonder if it is the Moseley school of art uniform?

I just got a call from a fellow ex student at MSA , that is trying to arrange a 70th reunion at The Bull on Sept 30. He is not on line, so difficult to communicate with in terms of organizational value. I have offered to post it here and FB, as well as the MSA web site.
