Memories of a student (1936-38) I did seem to often be in trouble!! Hats. I could never keep my hat on whilst cycling especially in a nor’wester so it was usually crammed under the belt which kept my school case on the carrier, or squashed in one hand …always in trouble, “must wear a a hat – use an elastic band” !!. I did once tie on the hated hat with binder twine complete with big bow on top!! No mixing with boys No cycling along the roads with a boy from the school, or any boy, and never be seen talking to a boy. sometimes I was guilty of both at the same time talking to and cycling with a boy!! One lunch hour dare found Peggy Ayers and myself riding to school on a tandem – for another detention – and to add insult to injury while we were doing long tots in detention, pupils and even some teachers were riding around the streets on our hired tandem! The school dance. It was held in the art room where Mr Knight presided during the day – someone playing the piano and pupils selfconsciously circling for the Gay Gordon, or bravely doing a Boston two-step. Assembly was held in the shelter shed. Lateness was punished by having to stand at the front. Talking or fidgeting earned the right to stand up the front and sing the daily hymn! Although I spent many hours in detention I did learn something and surprisingly did not want to leave but the economics of that time determined I had to. Many thanks to Shirley Bool (nee Caldwell) Famous and Firsts Stacey Lene nee (Broadhurst) Black Fern 2003-05 There must be lots more of you out there!!
