Suith

$r Smith is a brilliant Hearirnaster and. the uanager of the football team. Ee is quite a big uan with black wavy hair, r{.th long sid.ers, he is broad. and. has a rugged face. Ee always wears a tweed. jacliet, a bror.m tie to nateh and whea hers weeriag his junpar he usualLy ro11s up the sleeves. 'rJhen Flp Strdth is or:t on the school ground"s he prts his weLlies on. He spend.s a 1ot of tine on the school gror.rnd and. hers vezy proud. of his trees and plants - he goes na6 if he sees anyoue on his lawn - he taps oa the window and shouts "Hey (in a Royton aceent) get out of therel'r All around tbe school you see his plants - roses, tulips, sunflowers, daffodils and so on. I tidnk Sr Snith loves the outside so much because he was born on a farm he often talks about his youth. Probably wben he was youngpr he playe6 lots of sports and. Itm sure he ate lots of porridge beeause hets aleays telling us to have porritlge every rnorning so that we ean be good footballers, Thatrs wby I a}ways get ny lnu:s to make ne porridge before a raatch - she often says rrtbet i,{r Saith aad his porridgplt' and.

'l{hen ire play football $r Snith shouts "Thatis the way'r when we whack the ball - he also shouts rtstead.y, steadyrr when werve gct the baII. Ee d.isl-ikes to argue and more thau auything else $r Snith hates litter and bu11ies.

I Love listeniug to l.ir Snithrs stories, he often speaks of a girl ca1led Jacqueline and wtrat she did, he aI"so talks about people like Douglas Bader, Eniline Par:lrtruret, and in assembly he telLs bible stories. i,ir Suith has a habit of taking lei.s gJ.asses off and on, he bites the sirles and" fiddles with them, hers aLways Losing them. lfhen you win a med.al at sports day he always says its soli6 gord, but how hets joking realIy. I{ers so proud qhen }tiIls HilI d.o.*eli in'the Royton sports day, hers especiaLly proud of the saek raee, he trains them hinself I I ! we

My sister Srin says he tells jokes 1n the infants too, he pretend.s to forget their nanes but Erin and f d.ontt beLieve hin because wetre sure he lnows tbe name of every boy and girl in school. we have ourrbring and. buyt sale at school Hr Snith brings lis hose nade chutney to sel1 and be probably sold his slippers too because he cantt use then to punish naughty boys (they probably just keep his feet sara tJtrhen

now! )

irir Smithrs famous phrase i"s tGod. helps those who help theasel-ves' and. hers always taS.king about rleterminationf . lff of us witl rc sad rshen he leaves and I kr.ou all ny fenri ]y love Liu very mueh.

Badminton ace Jason Harrocks receives the cheque from lottery manager George Heaton, (GHor1s5/s).

A TEENAGE badminton ace lrom Chadderton is working towards a September deadline. For 1S-year-old Jason Harrocks, of Kenilworth Avenue, has given himsel{ until then to gain a place in the British team. Already he is rated number 10 in England and fourth in his age group - under 15's.

Delighted Jason told the Advertiser: "l'm very pleased with the money to help me train. The coaching is very important and I want to thank everyone connected with the lottery for the cheque."

RETIRING headmaster Mr Donaid Smith turned up at a school to supervise a netball and football knockout match - and found that a local mill had been renamed in his honour!

, Itrr Smith, headmaster at the NIiUs Hiff primai School for the last 20 years, was taken cornpletely by

surprise by grateful parents and stafl at a special

fun day they had organised on Saturday morning, to commemorate Mr Smith's retirement at Easter. And just to niake sure that 1!{r Smith got the message. parents and teachers had made tlo giant banners draped over the walis of the nearbv Malta &{itl, *'hich shouted their nressage of heart-r' goodrvill across the rooftops.

Smith

One banner had renamed the mill the Smith $iill for the day'. Mrs Jose Cosgrove, the school's deputy head said: "Donaid was taken completely by surprise and was thrilled by the gesture. The children and staffat the

school had been planning this tbr weeks and Sorlâ&#x201A;Ź- -. iiow managed to keep it quiet. Tire banners rver, put r.rp at the mili on Frlda-v evening after DondNr had lell the school."

Mr Smith iras spent

38 years

profession, and joined l\fills Flill School as head in 1970 over when the school consisted ofjust - taklngand one buiiding an empty ciassroom. The number ofpupiis at the school has increased since then from

210 to 620.

Busy retirement Under ll.Ir Srnith's headship the school has earned fame rvith its fundraising feats, collecting tB.00C for Booth Hall Hospitai.
