Headmistress
"Preston St. was a great little school
with good teachers, and a headmistress who kept a Sambo bank in her
office. We were frequently invited to contribute to it as, we liked to
watch the hand disappearing into the mouth with our pennies. Where they
eventually went I never discovered."
Pupils
"There was a set of triplets and a set of
fraternal twins in our class. Two of the triplets left and went to a
special school.
It was fun for me to think of the names, and
wonder what happened to them all. I just hope they all had good and,
on the whole, happy lives, especially:
-
Billie Lowrie, whom I had such a crush on.
-
Robert Watson who lived opposite me in Oxford
Street. He was the most kind-hearted mature boy, and would
frequently help me deal with my younger brother who always wanted to sit
in on my class, and was an absolute pain!!!
-
Christina Heyer who was so pretty with her blonde
curls, and got the coveted role of the Lady dancer in the Minuet. In a
beautiful costume complete with wig and face patches. I was so envious!!"
