Mention Squizzy Taylor to anyone who was a Carey student between 1945-47 and 1950-69 and you will unleash a torrent of amazing anecdotes about a gifted and slightly eccentric teacher.

Bill "Squizzy" Taylor was a legend at Carey, a man who inspired either sheer terror or gales of mirth from his students but who always had their great respect. Squizzy had a knack of inspiring students with his love of learning, his astute judgement and his fine sense of the ridiculous. Stories about him tumble out whenever Old Grammarians of this vintage meet.
