People think I'm crazy if I mention we marched to meals and had divisions! It all seemed so normal then and I remember well the excitement before Speech Day Divisions. Spit and polishing shoes and carefully folding those blue collars to get the creases right. I went to BRNC Dartmouth after leaving and it was a walk in the park after RHS. This was the year before I went to the school but you're right when you say it could have been any year from 1933-1992 (the last year before girls I think). Thank you for the memory Kieth (and Andrew).

Mark Hambly I’m sure I was there when you were? I knew your sister more so. I’m pissed and came across this video. I loved RHS.

Is that "Eggy" Mallon of Hood house, as I remember you went on to be head boy, you had a good relationship with the new head master Spock I think. Brings back strange memories, certainly not all good, you're so right about the old place. Tom Brown's schooldays. Sorry it was Kirk of course. Thanks for posting this. Old boy 81-87.

I was in Nelson house with Mr crick,miss Grimes,at this time,Marcus fossett was busy doing nothing,skiving as usual.Nick lamb was probably playing with a cricket bat.my best friend Mathew Vaughan was definitely shin deep in sweets😂 And yes like the other comment says we marched in squads with grown up briefcases. MrCrompton i think was in charge of music with candy floss hair. The tree outside Nelson house next to the copse where we got told a woman had hung herself. Didn't do me any harm at the school,I wasn't there long and went on to join the parachute regiment,hated the school work but the sports were amazing. Thankyouforuploading a little bit of our history.

Wow, I was at RHS at this time - looks like speech day w\e had some good weather that year. Can't believe it's 35 years ago now. Looking at the muster yard shots I think I recognise some of the guys who were in my class and they were all in Drake.

As I remember it, Speech Day was the Saturday. This was the Sunday and it was my last day at school. Anybody else think "Whirley Whirley" when they saw Cdr Lamb on the dias?
