  hi I went to the Deben from74 to 78. My maiden name was Pawsey. Before Deben I went to Colneis and before that Fairfield school. Ihave happy memories of my time at the Deben. My friends were Tracey Todd Tracey Rendall Suzanne Carter Anne Bullard Liz Olney to name a few. My fav teachers were Mr Drew Mr Allen Mrs Ratcliffe Mr Brent Mrs Lynch to name a few. Ialso remember Mr Whyard (piggy) Mr Wright
  (stumpy) Mr Riches Mr Goddard Mr Hotton Mr Sochon and not forgetting Chalky Chettleburgh. Ilived in Cobbold Road and Longcroft in Walton. I moved to Norfolk in 1978 where I still live with my husband and our 5 children. I would love to hear from anyone who can remember me or was at the Deben at the same time.

  Yes, but at least we don't get 'definitely' and 'defiantly' mixed up. Or is it that you just can't spell? Or there again, maybe you are an employee of Knowhere just trying to stimulate some discussion? I think we should be told.

• Re: School Reunion reminder by Nathan Cocheese (Member 10017249) on 20-Sep-2000
  As a former student of Deben High School I’m touched that there is a re-union taking place and I assume I’m cordially invited. However, due to several teachers and the regime at Deben High School making my life a misery for five years, I’m sorry to decline your kind invitation.
  
  I often wonder what happened to the likes of Hotton (nice back perm), Ring (Mrs. Baker), De-Wolfson (Wolfie), and Syke
  s (I’ve had enough of your row). As for Martin Slattery, all I can say is that he suffered severely from halitosis of the brain!
  
  One piece of teacher information, former Deputy Headmaster, Mr. Pitman, ended up as a wine waiter in Colchester, during the early-Nineties. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
  
  Fortunately, if it were not for the likes of Mr. Whyard and Mr. Macy I would have literally gone insane. For information, My Whyard passed away last year. My sympathies go out to his family and friends.
  
  Due to the militant tendencies of the Deben High teaching staff in the mid-Eighties, during crucial exam time, many students failed exams, which they should have otherwise passed. Many had to work extra hard to catch up lost time and who knows what opportunities they missed as a result.
  
  Deben High in the early to mid Eighties was too busy hanging on to the former glories of the past as Felixstowe Grammar school, and under the stewardship of Mr Matthews, the school lost it’s way. Many of us still personally suffer well into our 30’s.
  
  No, you can forget the reunion. But good-luck never the less.

• Re: School Reunion reminder by Charles Wright (Member 10007811) on 20-Sep-2000
  Well, I'm sorry you have such bitter memories. You'll be pleased to know that attendance is not compulsory ! I can't say that school days were the happiest days of my life; I certainly got into a few scrapes myself. However, after a few more years, the rose tinted spectacles may begin to work. I left in 1968 and think it's a good opportunity to re-establish contact with old friends. You could
  either ignore the teachers or abuse them roundly, safe in the knowlege that they can no longer give you detention or 100 lines.

  Some of the teachers at Deben in the 80s should have been strangled at birth - especially Tehan, who did for maths what the bubonic plague did for Europe in the middle ages.
  
  The various twats, charlatans and just plain dumbarses who headed Deben's classrooms in those dark days are more numerous even than the tapeworms in poor old Matthews' anaemic gullet.

  Mark - I do not know you (I am about 10 yrs older) but I used to live on Waveney Road (all my life before moving to the US). So I certainly know all the areas you speak of. Coronation Park was our hang out too - especially before all the new houses went up. We used to hang out in them while they were being built. It beat getting rained on!!! I also have a brother Robb Cracknell who still lives in
  Felixstowe (Mill Lane). I left England in 1982. I may have met you though. This notice board is great to read. Where are you now?
