My
name is Philip Calothi and I was at Whitestone from 1960 until 1964 when I lived
in Livingstone,
Northern Rhodesia
, where I was born. The Headmaster at the time was Anthony Cheetham, a wonderful
man for those tough times when no mercy was given or taken by staff and boys
alike. I was brought up there under the guidance of other icons like “ GP”
Pennington, “Wormy” Womersley, Mike Nash,
Miss Lane
and Miss Wyatt and I have cherished my memories of that wonderful place.

MEMORIES FROM IAN ATKINSON
From a fading memory I arrived in April 1971 to spend two weeks in 3B
before joining 3A and left from 5A in July 73 to go to school in England.
I was living in Malawi at the time so it made for a longer journey to school.
Mr Cheetham was the head at the time and I blame him for me being sent to a
place in the Yorkshire Dales called Giggleswick on account of him knowing the
Headmaster at Catterall Hall.
I have some happy memories of horse riding on a Thursday and sailing on the
Matopos Dam at the weekend, a sport that I still enjoy if in much
larger vessels on choppier waters. On the down side I have come to the
conclusion that after hearing Mr Nash instruct almost the entire school with
his Butter Pad at one time and his use of said instrument as a teaching aid
for the weekly 5B spelling test, the use of the Butter Pad was a touch on the
liberal side!
