M. Abrahams Mr. Score, the coach of the victorious 'Top of the Form' team and many schools challenge teams left us to become Head of Modern Languages at Stoneyhurst in Lancashire. He will be missed by everybody, especially the U.12 XV whom he has coached to glory, and School House Red where he was a House Tutor. Mr. Norkett also leaves uS for Stoneyhurst where he will take over the organisation and co-ordination of all the sport and teach History. He will be remembered by everybody (affectionately by most) as a cheerful member of staff who had unparalleled success whilst coaching the 1st XV, and who certainly knew how to get the best out of his pupils. Mr. JamesMPratt also travels North, to Worksop College in Nottinghamshire. He leaves behind him a thriving Drama departmen.t and memories of three excellent school plays. He will also be remembered as a cricketer, and the first master at Christ College to attempt to teach girls how to play the game. 6
Mr. Layder has also left us for his time at Christ College was well spent as he got involved in Cross-Country and Tennis, and started up a Cycling option for summer games. To counter-balance these departures we welcomed four new members of staff in September 1987; Mr. Slaney arrived from Ermyrsteads Grammar School in Skipton to take up the post of Head of Modern Languages. He has a degree from Birmingham University and will be a House Tutor in Donaldsons House. He also coaches some rugby. Mr. Bushjoined us from Hymers College, Hull to teach English and take overthe Drama Department. His degree is from Pembroke College, Cambridge and he is a fairly accomplished rugby prop-forward. Miss Hembrow joined us straight from Bristol University to teach History and help out as House Tutor in De Winton. She is also in charge of girls sport, especially Netball and Hockey. Mr. Hine, who is an experienced climber, joined us to teach Latin, Greek and Classics. He attended Oxford University and gained his PGCE from Cambridge, an unusual accomplishment. BLOCKBUSTERS As well as winning 'Top of the Form' this year, Christ College have provided two reasonably successful contestants on Central T.V.'s 'Blockbusters' programme. Oli Hides and Jason Cale survived two and a half programmes (Alex Lewis and Susan Rothwell failing to be selected) and would have gone all the way had it not been for an excellent opponent, who himself went on to get five 'gold runs'. The four days spent at the Central T.V. studios in Nottingham were profitable and eventful. Jason proved he really is a 'Yuppie' and also hoped to give a demonstration of his male magnetism, but the internal telephone service at the hotel put an end to that. Oli, meanwhile, was being taken up by children from 'Emu's Pink Windmill' who were filming in the next studio, and attempting to break the record for the number of ashtrays in one lift. The filming was an interesting experience; four shows are filmed each day, and contestants have to change their clothes for each programme so as to disguise this. Bob, the questionmaster, was fairly pleasant, but always seemed false, and the warm-up comedian was positively awful. His routine was bad the first time, but by the eighth time it was tortuous. The four days (with a weekend spent at home in the middle) provided a memorable experience, and both of us have made many new friends from allover the country. "0. Hides-!" 7
