Form 1A Report

Already, to the thirty-one boys and girls of Form 1A, Greenhill Grammar School has become "our school."  It seems ages to us now since we struggled through that "thing" called the 11+ examination, and also a long time since our first morning here, when some of us wandered open-mouthed through a sea of new faces.  The building seemed so strange to us then, that it is amazing how quickly we have grown acquainted with the school.

We have by this time found our likes and dislikes and I gather from the rest of the form that General Science is the most popular subject.  Other subjects have their fans, however, and we all enjoy our P.T. and Games.  We all feel happy to have Mr. Fogg for our form master.

Let us hope that our first year will be an embarkation on a voyage of scholarly discovery.

Form 1B Report

 

We are all enjoying our first term at our new school.  Although we have been in school for only one month Jean Gibson has been in practice for the Junior Netball Team, and five boys have been chosen for the Football Team.  Jean Wallace and Judith Simister have been to meetings about Hockey, and they wish to become members of the team.  Some of the boys and girls have been to trials for swimming.

Form 1G Report

 

I am a new girl in 1G.  I find the girls and teachers of my form very pleasant and we are settling down well, although influenza has attacked the school.

Our classroom has been painted pink, white and green, and is a very cheerful home.  There are thirty girls in our class.

Form 2A Report

 

From the various emigrants of last year's Form 1 emerged sixteen girls and ten boys.  The overseer of our doing is Mr. K. Wright.  The choir representatives are four fair cats, one ginger cat and two brown cats.  The charity collectors are Pauline Bardsley and Christobel Taylor.

The athletics side of our schooling is shown by the keen members of the new Athletics Society.  The girls' games captain is Hilary Greenall, but the boys are not lucky enough to have one.

The various hobbies are stamp collecting, gardening, moth and butterfly collecting, sports activities, reading, and one girl thinks she has the best hobby which is lounging about.

We have all got our favourite lessons, but cookery is most popular amongst the girls and woodwork amongst the boys.
