First Day at School

The local Radio Station was taking calls on Your First Day of School. I was able to tell my story from 1965. My own experience was that I was picked up by minibus and taken to our local school, New Gilston Primary School, with two teachers, two new students, myself and Pat Lees and about 25 other kids. We had to say the Lords Prayer, Sing Onward Christian Soldiers and then sit down and do some drawing. I can still remember how humiliating it was to watch how neatly she was able to do a picture of her house and mine was an uncoordinated scrawl.

What is it with girls? They are so clever early.
