Phil.. I have to agree with you! I left Dennis Rd School in 1958, the year you started, there was nothing wrong with it then. Certainly didn't have a bad reputation at that time. I don't know if and when that situation changed. I know things there are very different now, one way & another. I went back to the school a few years ago, with the late Alan Deakin (ex Villa Captain) and another mate, we were all at Mary St together before we went to Dennis Rd.
