Remember having to give up PE/Games lessons two weeks before Christmas to go and practice/rehearse the ballroom dancing - including one called the 'Gay Gordons.' Trevor forester used to demonstrate the steps with a female teacher from the Girl's School, perhaps one of those already mentioned. If you didn't chose a partner at the rehearsals, Garth Tollitt from the PE dept' used to threaten to find you one - shortest with tallest, thinnest with fattest, etc. Happy days!!!

My memory aint that good was the other PE teacher a Mr Behan the one with black hair ?

The dancing was a right laugh used to love it myself ( maybe that was the perv in me ) having a room full of girls in an all boys school was great

Aye, with that lunatic Mick Ryan! What year did you leave bud?

[peppylou]

That ballroom dancing scarred me for years, especially when you had to ask a girl to dance. I recall one year St. Joseph's wouldnt come out for our annual fight... in case we asked them to do a Foxtrot!
