Our hero skips onward from a skiffle group to cricket to race horses.
Info Greetings! It’s me again—dauntless Davy Jones—taking up where I left off last month in the exciting (and seemingly unending) story of my life in pix. So heigh ho—let’s get on with it! 
Info Here we are—back at school again. Still at Varna Street School in Manchester. I was 12 when this picture was taken and I am at the far left in the bottom row. On the far upper right is one of my best friends back home—Eric Kay. He now works for the British Railway, as my dad used to. 
Info Also at 12 (that’s me with the banjo on the left) I attended the Congregational School. I had a skiffle group (so we called ourselves the Congo Boys—get it?). When this was taken, we were playing at a party after Whitsun Walk. Our most requested number was Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight? 
Info At 13, this is how I got all dressed up for my elder sister Hazel’s wedding. I hated short pants and this was the last time I wore them. How do you like my nifty corsage? 
Info Well, I did wear short pants when we played cricket. Here I am, front and center (and captain of the team, I might add), with the Higher Openshaw Secondary Modern team. 
Info Ah, here we are! Another typical school picture of dashing Davy Jones. (At least, I don’t have chocolate smeared all over my face in this one.) I was 14 years old when this was taken. 
Info At 15, I began hanging out at the Newmarket racing stable, which was 50 miles from London. This horse’s name was “Orlater” (like in “Sooner—“?). 
Info Here I am again at Newmarket. In this picture, I was learning how to ride. After this, I became an apprentice jockey.
But fate was about to change all that, and little did I know that right there at the racing stable one day I would meet the man who would start me on my acting career. More about that in the next issue. See you then.
