Spook was having trouble with 2H in the GS lab. Ragging was going on & he was looking flustered. I simply walked in to the class & asked Spook if he was needing any further help with the exhibition for Sports Day, as the Head was most keen on him preparing it.
The entire concept was totally ficticious at that point, but the entire class were thunderstruck and their attitude changed in a trice. Spook later went & told Moody that I’d suggested it & 2H were keen as mustard to help.
And, that Sports Day, not only the Natural History & Mathematical Society exhibitions were there for parents as ever, but a Chemistry Society one, too, prepared by Spook & 2H!
