Ken was a prefect at Northcote High School when I was there, dragged me in to the prefects room once for smoking behind the shelter sheds and made me clean the room.

Sounds like you were there about the same time as my father was Robbie - Ken Emselle was a couple of years ahead of him and was head prefect at the time.

I believe Kevin "Skeeter" Coghlan taught Maths at NHS during this time too.

Ken was in form 6 and I was just starting out in form 2 and yes I did start smoking early like most of my mates.

Your father may have been in the same year as my brother.

Small world I am best of friends with Skeeter's daughters and my only interaction with Northcote High School was to thrash them at tennis, playing for Box Hill HS. As I remember the central division was Melbourne High, University, Northcote and Box Hill so it was hard to get a win in anything for us at Box Hill in those days.
