Do you remember your teachers?

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!

We had some lovely teachers at school and some horrors. Mrs Dilloway the French teacher would throw the board rubber at you if she thought you weren't listening!

My first year form teacher, Mr Garwood, was a real gent and fair to all of us.

Then there was Mr Fudge the Biology teacher and Miss Peachey the very elderly PE teacher you didn't dare cross.

Fond memories of school days past.
