Maureen Brennan, 1956 to 64. Died June 2010. Information supplied by Josie Cox (nee Dawson)

Maureen died very suddenly, in Dublin in June. Maureen had gone with a colleague to a concert and sustained a haemorage in her brain and a fall. I think I'm right in saying that she was the only girl to be Head Girl for two years 1962/3 and 1963/4.

Paul Anthony Harris, 1957 to 63. Died December 2010. Information supplied by Barrie Lambert

I've been informed that Paul Harris died shortly before Christmas in New Zealand. Paul taught at Waikato University and was looking forward to his retirement later this year.

Dr Paul Anthony Harris died at his home, as he wished, in Hamilton. See also http://www.waikato.ac.nz/wfass/staff/socu/pah

I've just discovered that, according to one of his two Facebook pages, Paul left BCGS in 1966 (yes, that's 1966!). This fits in with his first degree and PhD completion dates. This means that he must have taken more than a year out after O levels which, arguably, makes Paul BCGS's longest attendee?

Derrick Griffiths, 1939 to 44. Died December 2010

Stephen Young, 1956 to 63. Died September 2011
