Yes,Terry, that 'huge man of a boy' would have been J.M.Green(Mick), who was in my form all the way through my years at School. He appears on the 4B Class Photo of 1948 and if my memory serves me well, he was a butcher's son from Farnhill and went on to be a 'vet', as did Keith Midgeley who also appears on the same Class Photo.
Mick Green was 'a big lad' for his years and can be found on several School Rugby photos from 1946 to 1952. He was, of course, a forward.

I was in the Town Centre this morning chatting to Derek Newiss amongst others, when I spotted a certain John H Learmonth approaching. I had previously spoken to him about a week or so ago, about him having been 'mentioned in despatches' on the KBGS website, and on this occasion I asked him directly if he had ever been Head Prefect. He replied,"No, but Mick Green had". So there you have it- 'straight from the horse's mouth'. He may well have given the impression to younger boys at School, that he was something a little more than a 'common or garden' Prefect, but he was never a 'Head'. So, you were right, Terry.

David,
Thanks for putting the record straight. I doubt that he will remember me but I have never forgotten him.
