I was taught mainly by nuns and I am afraid to say, I was terrified of them all.
However, Mr Smith the Latin teacher (a male in an all girls school ? ) was an absolute gent and Borrheid and I share fond memories of him. I met him decades later and he still remembered me, lovely as ever.
He had a very heavy growth and was always rubbing his chin, we had a little verse:
Salve Francus Smithius,
Sitting rubbing your chinius.
We thought we were so amusing!
