Hi Wardy, Hope this isn't too personnel for first time communications, I attend Heber Road school from Sept 1951 and just like you I had it from day one, I mean hour one, my name was Margaret Sanderson, I was 5yrs old, I had 3 older brother Norman, Roger, and Michael (mike), so I'd heard all about this Heber road school, we lived in Jennings Road no 30, so we only had to go down the road, I can remember my Mum and Dad takening me screaming down the road, like they were taking me into some institution or something worse. After my Mum and Dad had handed me over to the teacher, whose name alludes me at the moment, but he was a gaint of a man, big thick set bloke, and I was terrified, so at playtime I ran home nd told my parents, Thats it I'm not going back there again. Off we went again, same thing happened at lunchtime, off I went back home with the pretext this time that they didn't have any rulers. Back they took me. Afternoon playtime off again this time saying they had no rubbers. Well had home time I tolf them, Ok I've been there today but thats it NO More. I'll not keep on tonight as it's getting late but it was really great to read your chapter, brought back lots of memories, and like you when the school caught fire, weall sat on the wall opposite the school and was shouting to the firemen to just let it burn, but of course they didn't. I'll hopefully catch up with you again.
