WHS - Stan Goetzee

Louis Parperis: "The family came from The Netherlands and he, his brother and sister were second or third generation. He had an uncle called Stanley who was killed at the Battle of the Somme, hence my knowledge of his name as I had written ‘Stanley Goetzee Is Fat’ on the front of John Morri’s Maths workbook and Stan announced that: ‘Stanley Goetzee is not fat; he died etc’ and went on to advise the class of his full name. I missed all this as I was in the B set for Maths being taught by the late Roger Barker, but was given a full account by young Master Morri when I rejoined him en route to the next lesson."

Ron Gould: "Stan got me a G.C.E. in Maths. A genuine magician.”

John Tuddenham: “And me!! A good man.”

Chris Snuggs: “I hardly knew him (and never had him for Maths), but from afar he always seemed to look chirpy. I never saw him look miserable or angry, or even fed up - but I was not of course in his house where no doubt talking after lights out would have made him stern enough.”

Frederick Townson: “He used to take morning prayers for Catholics in the library then join the rest of the school morning assembley in the gym. He also took the Catholics to Ipswich church on Sundays for mass.” David Howard: “He not only managed to get me through GCE maths, but introduced me to the idea that words had a history: he would say, “Where did ‘rubric’ come from? And so on.” Daniel Dave O'Byrne: “He got me through my Maths O'level - just, grade 6. Without his help in the 5th year I'm pretty sure I would have failed. Many thanks Stan.”
