Teachers

[Tim Josling]

I did some research at the library of the electoral roll on some of our teachers, including North Griffith Infants and North Griffith Primary as well as GHS

Miss Harcher (grade 1) = June Harcher 7 Kookora St Griffith
Mrs Callan (grade 2) = Elaine Bonnie Callan 7 Almoola St Griffith
Miss Withnell (first half of grade 3) = Gay Withnell 13 Konoa St Griffith
Mr "Chookie" Fowler (grade 4) = Cyril Frederick Flower 39 Edmondson Av Griffith
Mr Potter (grade 6) = Leslie Gordon Potter 61 Wyangan Ave Griffith (his wife was Thelma Beverley. They were still together in 2007 at 16 Clement Ave Gloucester 2422 http://g.co/maps/cdvc8).
Mrs Whiting (private music teacher) = Very Louisa Whiting 23 Binya St Griffith

Mrs Elaine R "Tiger" Paul (second half of grade 3) = I think this is Esmay Paul 23 Doongara St, her husband John Alfred Paul both listed as school teachers in the roll. She was listed in the roll for Griffith in 1963, 1964, 1965 but not 1967 or 1962. No luck tracing her whereabouts after that.

Mr John William Parks (deputy head and chief flogger of boys at GHS in 1967 and also taught grammar to 1-1 in that year). 99 Noorilla St Griffith, his wife Mary (home duties). In 1991 they were both at 36 Caldwell Ave Dudley 2290 http://g.co/maps/9vp7m). As of 2007 he has gone from the electoral roll and his wife is still at the same address. It seems, like his hero Ernest Hemingway, he died young.
