For German, in 1965, we had Mr Hudson<\/b> aka Herman the German<\/b>. Freshly out of teacher-training he encountered a tough time at the school. Constant taunts and books poised above the door as he walked in marred his time there. However I thought he was cool and it’s a shame he left.

He told us he’d been at teacher training college in Birmingham with Spencer Davis<\/b> and played us their first single Every Little Bit Hurts <\/i>before they became a household name with Keep on Running.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
He also played us the German language versions of  She Loves You<\/i> and I want to Hold Your Hand <\/i>which have recently been released on the Beatles Anthology album.<\/p>\n

Ralph Aldhous<\/b> There was another German teacher before him. Younger and taller with very short hair. He hit me with a board ruler one day for some act of insubordination.<\/i>
