That was Mr Grant, Alexander M. Grant B. Comm. who retired in 1961.

Many moons ago when teaching at St Michael's Annexe in Powrie Place, off Ann Street, the dinner hall was separate from the school. We had only 1st year boys here - it was a bit like a wee village school, a good distance from the main building (and Authority!) in Graham Street.

Anyway, the staff - all 6 of us - sat at a separate table, naturally, and were served by the boys, again naturally. One day as the Slave of the Day was hurrying towards our table (we were an impatient lot) he tripped, and the head teacher received a lapful of tatties and mince. :oops:

The science teacher had a bit of a reputation. "See Mr Frame - he's aye up first for seconds!" Happy days!

No Dlema it was not master The "bates"nickname was due to the emphasis he put on a legal case in the 1800's I think. I was told this by some friends in the commercial course.

I never had Mr Grant as a teacher but someone who did his subject told me that he was a little hard of hearing which lead to one smart Alec saying to Mr Grant as he came into the room, "Tickle your a--e with a feather, Sir", to which Mr Grant, looking puzzled responded, "Pardon, what did you say?" The smart Alec then said, "Typically nasty weather, Sir." Shocking :oops:

I heard that the school "dinner" on Saturday was a success with 102 in attendance, including Mr Dow and his young wife of 50 years, marriage that is, not of age. Well done to all the organisers and I hope they enjoyed themselves as well.
