Class of 49
"There
was 49 children in our class. A few of the children were not
attending this day. Our teacher's name was Mr Phillips. He was quite
strict but very good.
I'm sorry I don't remember all my
classmates' names, but we were a pretty happy bunch of kids."
Playtime
During playtime, which today is probably
called recess, we had great fun. Favorite things to do
in the girls' area were to exchange scraps, play peevery beds
and skipping ropes.
On our way home from school our favorite
game was marbles, in the gutters, both for boys and girls. We
took it all quite seriously. I can only remember some of the names
of the marbles - cherries and steelies. I'm sure other people
will have a better memory than me.
Ponies
Round the corner we would stop and see
the beach ponies which were stabled close by, always hoping to
stroke them. No wonder we were always late getting home from
school.
More Memories?
I would love to hear other memories from
students of Towerbank School."
