Re: Books studied in English
Can't remember To Kill A Mockingbird or Catcher in the Rye either - but Alex, thanks so much for reminding me of that beautiful Hardy poem.......it was one that I returned to tearfully several times in later years after disastrous love affairs!! I still also love Under Milk Wood. And Paradise Lost. ...

Re: Books studied in English
Hi Katharine - yes, he was - in an austere way. Have to say I had a bit of a thing for him myself. I have just watched a re-run of Jane Eyre on ITV3 (great channel!) with Ciaron Hinds as Mr Rochester - and in terms of looks, Fred wasn't unlike him. In terms of personality though Fred was as unlike M...

Re: Books studied in English
I know we all fell in love with Mr Rochester and we started calling the school surveyor (?) Mr Rochester! He was a mysterious man who appeared now and then, who looked at the buildings. Hello Katharine. Better late than never (as I said, I don't visit the site as often as I should) but I thought yo...

Re: TWO deaths : Betty Jukes and Jean Taverner
How very sad - I don't visit this site as often as I should and when I do, it always seems that yet another familiar name has passed on. My abiding memory of Miss Taverner is of Carmina Burana - which I think we "did" for Speech day. Everyone knows it now thanks to Classic FM and Old Spice...

I remember Miss Champion (on anothr thread) wrote that I had terrible handwriting, very childish. My dad had to ask me to decipher it as he couldn't read HER handwriting. I remember her handwriting being pretty awful 8) As I mentioned, I was looking at old school reports the other night. Miss Champ...

I think I was also confusing Miss Mercer(History) and probably before my time with Miss Marter (later Mrs Roxborough). in fact I know I was wrong because I went to check my old reports. I also mistook Miss Rutherford, who taught me English in about Year 8 (sorry 2nd form) with Miss Riddiford, the G...

I remember Judy Furnival wanted to be Prime Minister. I see from FRU that she is a social worker. Judy could successfully argue that black was white (and this was before Miss Mercer's Logic classes) and yes, she did want to be first woman PM. In fact thinking back I am amazed how politically aware ...

Alex - you are amazing. Not only do you remember my proper name, you spell it correctly as well!! Something Dot never managed to do. When I left, she spelt it differently in my Bible, prayer book and Holmes Principles of Physical Geology (Wilcox Gift for Geography - who exactly was Wilcox?!) And all...
