‘Father MF taught at (Prep School) throughout this exciting period of rebuilding and regeneration. He began at (Prep School) in 1954, teaching French, History, Latin and Religion. He was a genial, witty soul, with a sterner side, but he also offered wise counsel to those in need. Affectionately known as ‘F’, he went to class armed with a strap in his pocket. The strap ‘mysteriously’ disappeared one day after a class of boys had experienced its sting. Until recently its whereabouts had never been revealed, until another teacher confessed to having confiscated it.’
‘Mrs M was a small woman, gaining from some cheeky boys the name of ‘Pipsqueak’. MC remembers Miss M as delightful but reasonably strict. By 1964 she was teaching Grade 3; a dear lady, caring, and a person whom MR remembers with real affection.
