Head Fashion

What a fashionable person...

Mr Ventress is noted for his affinity for hats and occasionally, period dress. His 'deer-stalker' is probably the rarest of his hats to see, and the most common forms part of his "crème ensemblè". He sported a particularly attractive handlebar moustache in January and February 2006, its first sighting since flying the trenches of Europe in a bi-plane. Regardless of his odd sense of style, Mr Ventress is well liked throughout the school, having a reputation among staff and teachers alike for being funny yet monotonous, and usually in a good way, though occasionally not.

Urban Legend

It is an urban legend that Mr. Ventress did once have an automobile in which he used to wrap himself up with the finest of automobile outfits (leather gloves, driving goggles, starched scarf, driving sock etc) and then he would proceed to tear round the Lancastrian countryside picking up local girls at his fancy and would then have his own moustachioed way with them. This is unlikely to be true as Mr Ventress was not a driver (at last count; can anyone shed any light on more recent history?) due to his slightly lacking spatial awareness, and no need for automobile transportation in his day-to-day life, but one can dream.

Current Fashion

As is common knowledge, Mr. Ventress regularly changes his style of facial hair and headwear, apperently independently of both each other and his current clothing. But his latest fashion brought the nation to it's knees. Millions gasped in shock as they watched the 9 o'clock news. He was last reportedly seen wearing no beard or moustache whatsoever (in his own words, "It was a fake stick-on and fell off"), his classic flat faux-straw hat, and the perennial dark green jacket to accompany the ever-popular plain red tie. Many accidents and senseless violence soon occured. Also, do beware of his morris dancer suit.

Spare Time

In his spare time, Mr Ventress has been known to steal every register in school and read and memorise every students name (fisrt, last and middle). This is for the sheer joy of being able to spot a student on the staircase and see their shocked faces, tying to figure out who this man is and how he knows where they live.
