Crumlin High Belfast
Yvonne
One of my vivid memories of bein at Crumlin High was getting canned by Mr Beresford..quite a few of us actually. We were in the library at class and after lunch we had to move to room 4 (not sure what way the classes are today), we had to come down the stairs and walk right around to the other stairs and put our bags in, a few of us couldnt be bothered with this and just threw them into the cloak room..BIG mistake..prefects told on us and of course into the Science lab for the cane..i’ll never forget it whack whack, right across my right hand (the one i right with)
