Miss Owen taught me German and believe it or not she wore the red jacket from 1943 to 1948!!!!! Miss Roberts was the French teacher and she really was very timid and a hopeless teacher. Maybe she got sacked as you say Miss Owen taught you French. Miss Riddle taught maths, geometry and algebra. Mrs.Honeycomb taught English.
Miss Caiger and Miss Martin taught art and we seemed to have everything in those wartime days, i.e. large library, wonderful gym with ropes and bars, music lecture room, cooking stoves electric and gas , washing machines, physics and biology labs, and games fields which we took the bus to. It was very superior to the jerry built buildings serving as schools today. At morning assembly the head girl played the piano. I think they should bring back that system .
