    Snek was my Dad's cousin's husband. That cut me no ice. I was terrible at maths and still can't begin to fathom a slide rule.

    Can anyone? I’m convinced the slide rule was just an instrument of psychological torture.

    Jack Livesey and his slide rule. Baffled me good and proper. Calculators were just coming in at that time too (mid 70s), they were a lot more user friendly.

    Ah, slide rules, came with their own sleeve. Perfect for cheat paper, formulae mostly.

    McLintock, first name Robert, was in my class at St. Mary's Boys Junior School on Churchfield, next to the current police station. He was also in my year at Holgate GS. I remember playing Subbuteo with him at his house on Longman Road, when we were at St. Mary's. He was a nice lad, who usually had a smile on his face. I haven't seen him for over 50 years.

    They designed aircraft, ships, rockets and the atom bomb using the slide rule... to me it was a great straight edge for drawing neat lines.

    As an ex Broadway kid that has to walk past Holgate on the way home I always considered myself very fortunate to get back “intact”

    Yes, I remember Robert McLintock. Lived off Old Mill Lane, and was in St Mary's Church choir - as I was.

    Slide rules were just the next advance following the use of a log book.I was pretty good with all of them back in the day but the introduction of calculators consigned them all to distant memories

    I wonder if you sang there when I used to go. I was baptised and confirmed in St. Mary's and attended Eucharist there in my early teens. My parents were married there. Longman Road, where Robert McLintock lived, is the first road on the left, as you go down Old Mill Lane.

    Yes, I was baptised and confirmed there too.

    Ken Shaw was choirmaster, The Rector as Canon A.P. Morley, and the Verger was Tommy Hayward.

    I've posted a photo of the choir as it was in around 1960 on one of the Memories of Barnsley websites. Robert McLintock's on it.

    Very sad to hear that Mr Manderson has passed away. Great teacher and a genuinely nice bloke too.

    Ken Shaw was deputy head at St. Mary's Boys. What I remember him for chiefly was the fact that he caned me in front of the whole school for talking to a friend in the hall, before the morning assembly had begun. I wasn't aware of his having arrived to take the assembly. I was sitting on the front row. He pounced on me and administered the savage punishment. I still feel a sense of injustice to this day. I was also caned, aged 7, for eating in class. This was for a first offence and with no warning given. I have several hard copies of Memories Of Barnsley, including issue 24, winter 2012, which has a photo of my form, 3A, at Holgate in the school year 1962/3.
