Form 2B Report
There are twenty-eight pupils in 2B Form, eleven of whom are boys. Our Form Mistress is Miss Parker who also takes us for French. Our charity representative is Norrna Bocking and our games captain is Sylvia Merritt, who is the fastest girl runner in the form. We are very proud to have R. James in our class. He can jump 4ft. 7ins. Joan Minton is the fastest swimmer in our class.
We enjoy life at Greenhill Grammar School and we like most of our lessons. The form is separated for Latin and German lessons. Only one boy takes Latin, all the rest take German.
We now have only one period of gym a week, two periods of games and one swimming lesson. Only half the girls go swimming, the other half have dancing with 2A.
In games the girls are learning how to play hockey and every other week they have netball.

Form 2G Report
2G has the smallest number of children in the junior section of the school. Our form teacher is Mrs. Pilling. In the class there are eight boys and twelve girls. There has not been much progress in the form because of the Asian flu which struck Oldham. We have not a proper form-room, so for registration Mrs. Pilling takes us in the Biology Laboratory.
Mervyn Whitehead is our Charity Representative, and at the end of the year the money is sent to charitable organisations. Sandra Schofield is the netball captain. Three boys in the form are in the Gymnastic Display Team, Harvey Stott, Peter Hope and John Davies. There are five boys on the football team and three boys on the cricket team. All twelve of the girls are on the netball team.
Two girls have won medals for dancing and Harvey Stott and John Davies ran for their house team in the Sports.

Form 3A Report
The form teacher for this year is Mr. Handforth. In the class there are twenty-one girls, two of whom are new to the A group. Some of the girls are members of various societies in the school such as the choir and the Scripture Union.
Jacqueline Holt is the charity representative and has now held this position for two years. Also last year Mavis Fielding was on the Junior Hockey Team. This year Sandra Schofield is also going to the field for hockey practice.
In our class we have quite a few who swam for the school in the Town Gala. These included Barbara Andrew, Mavis Fielding, Rita Schofield, Julia Burton and Sandra Schofield. We are also quite a musical group. Marilyn Topping sings, six play the piano, Pat Buchan collects and listens to records. Anne Butterworth dances, and recorders are played by Mavis Fielding, Carol Collinge, Jacqueline Holt, Anne Butterworth and Patricia Hammett.
Two of the eight boys of the form play on the under-fourteen football team. One well-known member of the form supports the Oldham Rugby Club. Our form room has, like the rest of the school, been decorated in contemporary restful colours.
The gentlemen of the form, though heavily outnumbered, make their presence felt and are envied for their complement of attractive-looking girls.

Form 3B Report
This year our form room, No. 7, is on the upper floor and for the second year running Mr. Hollos is our form master.
In 3B there were, at the beginning of term, thirty-one pupils (twenty girls and eleven boys). Unfortunately we have lost one of our boys, Christopher J. Hall, who has gone to live in St. Annes. The class itself is not much different from that of last year, except for two girls who went into 3A and a boy and a girl who came from 2A.
Some of our boys and girls are interested in the Scientific Society, while others prefer the Choir and the recently formed Athletic Society.
At the beginning of the school year we did not settle down very soon owing to the "flu" epidemic, and on one day of term only four out of the thirty members came, but we are now settling down and hope to have a good school year together.
