For many people this is the most important part of the website.
Before I started producing the original Trinity High
School Reunion website in Spring 2003, my memories of school were almost
zero. A few names, but not too many, and even fewer faces to go
with them. Since that time the memories have come flooding back as
I have done the research, and more importantly as people have sent me
photographs and anecdotes. I will still never be heard saying that
"School days were the best days of my life", but it has been enjoyable
finding out more about what happened way back then, and I have enjoyed
reading and writing things about those days. I hope that you will
find it enjoyable.
The sections in this part of the website are filled
(and still growing) with memories of the school, its pupils, the staff,
and life at that time. There are eight main sections: -

In each of these sections you will find many things that you will
remember from your days at school. The aim is to add plenty of new
material to these sections as it is found, so please look at the
What's New page from time to time to see
what has been added.
For the history of the school and its staff, then please refer to the
School History
section.
The
Tower Magazine was first printed in 1959.
The website contains a lot of material from "The Tower", with
material written by pupils, the regular Around the Forms section, and a
selection of adverts that provide a picture of the era. Click on
the front cover of the magazine to visit The Tower pages.
The
School Year Book
The school published a year book. The book contained the school
calendar for the year, the names, forms, form rooms, form teacher for
all of the pupils, and of course, the school rules. Click on the
front cover to go to that section.
The "Scrapbook"
This section contains items taken from the school scrapbook itself,
kept in the school library, and other items taken from newspapers etc.,
about the school and school life. This section has now grown into
a large "book", but with material that you dig out from the attic, it
could easily get much bigger.
Transport to School
How did you get to school? Many people got there on the
Northampton red buses, and John Child, who is enthusiast, and has one of
his own which he is restoring, reminds us in an interesting article
about the buses, the places they passed with some interesting old
photographs.
The "Cobblers"
Although this was a definitely a "Rugger" playing school in the 50's
and 60's, there were some people who preferred soccer. In the 60's the
Cobblers enjoyed a very successful period, and Chris Timms who has been
a life long fan has started writing a diary of the Cobblers, which he
will add to every month.
Tales from the Tower
A section of the amusing incidents and pranks that made us all laugh.
In Memory
After a number of requests for a list of former-pupils who have
died, which I have always resisted (in case someone was listed
incorrectly, we now have a section for tributes to former pupils.
These are tributes written by friends. This will help to ensure
accuracy, and is the opportunity for people to pay tribute who have
passed on. [ In Memory]
