Here are a two pictures from Stephen ( Soterios / Sooty ) Alambritis 1968-1975 Here are two former pupils at Cannizaro House Hotel in Wimbledon. Sooty says "I was there with my wife as a Councillor attending the Mayor of Merton's Charity Ball on Saturday 10 Feb 2007 Pierce was staying at the Hotel. We spoke at length and he recalled his time at Elliott. He remembered one teacher especially Mrs Rogers, his French teacher. He remembered he was in Norman House and recalled the names we gave ourselves i.e. Nutty Normans, Sexy Saxons, Dunce Danes and clever Celts. He now lives in Hawaii" |

The next set is from Harry Papadopoulos 1964-71 Harry writes The school organised a one month trip to the West Indies during the Christmas break 1969 I think only a dozen students from Elliott were offered places on the SS Nevassa, a converted troop carrier, sister ship to the Uganda that went to the Falklands. It was 11000 tons. The trip cost £53 all in and my dad gave me £7 pocket money. I brought back £5, there was nothing much to buy, except In Trinidad. As we came into port the locals rowed out with small canoes loaded with Bananas. I did not have any local currency and offered him my shirt, which he accepted in exchange for a whole branch of bananas. We tried to get them through the porthole and most of the fruit fell into the water. Unfortunately the Master at Arms caught us and confiscated the contraband. The teacher was a Geography teacher Can't remember her name. Our first stop was Portugal, then across to Trinidad, Barbados, St Lucia, Martinique returning via Madeira. Names I remember, Elaine Hinkson, Lorraine Greeley, Valerie Rogers. Above is a stock picture of SS Nevassa in front of the Piazza San Marco in Venice |
