A different student was also fond of wisecracks. One of the teachers was the most patient and mild-mannered of people. I never saw him lose his temper. Mr Church was gently admonishing the class for some reason when the student commented loudly “Watch out lads, the Church Bells are ringing!” Mr Church wasn’t amused and told the boy to join him in the gymnasium next door. We never knew exactly what happened, but he came back very much quieter than he left.
