Terry McCroakam identifies the Biology Teacher as Mr. Gordon Knox. Thank you, Terry.

"I noticed on the site there was a picture which someone asked "Which Biology Teacher?" It was Gordon Knox who took over from me when I left in 1961. A very fine teacher who dragged me into the second half of the 20th century with his knowledge of the new biochemistry of Respiration and Photosynthesis that had just been elucidated. I was the Head of Biology whilst I was at HGS teaching Botany and Zoology as well as Science."
Yours,
Ken Sale
