A W E L L -R E S P E C T E D headteacher who devoted the whole of his working life to Clit heroe Royal Grammar School
has died. Mr Roy Arthur Adams died at Royal Blackburn Hospital aged 83
years. - After National Service and gain
ing a geography degree at Sheffield University, Mr Adams joined Clit heroe Royal Grammar School in 1953, and quickly became one of the outstanding personalities on the staff.
Always a lively and stimulating
teacher, he slipped easily into the role of junior form master, develop ing an instant rapport with boys in their first year at secondary school. Subsequently, as the head of the
geography department, he was re- sp'onkible for introducing the new revised syllabus, and made it a pop ular choice for many sixth-formers.- Later," when an increasing
number of boys were aiming for higher, education, he took on the role of careers advisor and guided many through their university appli-. cations to a successful outcome. He also played a significant part
in school games, running football and cricket teams, and he started a rugby XV as an alternative for boys . whose talent lay in that direction.

curred, he was the obvious choice for acting headmaster;
a.role'he filled with his customary cfficiency and sensitivity, taking up the duties of deputy again two years later, to assist the new head in the delicate task of combining the boys’ and girls’grammar schools.-..... . The relatively smooth transfer owed a great deal to Mr Adams’.

. had done to promote lasting links between the school and its former
- pupils; . Despite all the demands of school
and out-of-school time, he was no less a family man, who made sure of being there for his wife, Margery, and their three children, and later, for the grandchildren who adored him. Friends and colleagues of Mr Ad
ams have been paying tribute. “Roy was a man of great integ
rity, who demanded high standards of himself and expected it in oth ers, but all was done with careful consideration and a lively sense of humour, which endeared him to colleagues and pupils alike, and in deed to all who knew him. He will be sadly missed,” said one. He is survived by his wife, daugh
ters Julie and Wendy, son Mar tin, son-in-laws Stephen and Karl, daughter-in-law Lara and grand children Max, Sam, Sarah and Wil liam. A private family cremation serv
