School Memories by Tom Townsend

§ On no account do you tap your feet if you are sitting on the top deck of the school bus above the drivers cab.

§ Do not go outside wearing your indoor shoes

§ The Film Projector always broke down every Saturday evening

§ The School Choir sang at St. Margaret's Church Kings Lynn in front of the late Queen Mother

§ A very bad snowstorm

§ A drink called 'St. Michael's Special' sold at Wadworth's for 6p

§ Spending time in a large tent of which two nights were spent in the pouring rain

§ Making cannons out of curtain rail but I cannot remember where we got the explosive material

§ Watching the girls play Netball

§ No vests to be worn at night under pyjamas

§ Pressing trousers under the mattress

§ Easter church services that lasted three hours

§ Gently sipping the communion wine from the chalice

§ The hockey pitch on the other side of the road which was very hard on a frosty morning
