  Form 1A Report

 

We now attend Greenhill Grammar School. The school, I admit, is nothing to look at from the outside, but that does not matter very much. It is the people that are inside the building that make the school. Thirty-three people have to share lA's classroom, so our form master, Mr. Fogg has quite a problem on his hands. Yet on our first day at school he made us all very welcome. Although we do not know the pupils of Greenhill they all seem a jolly nice crowd.

Our motto is "Qui Exercet Sapiet" which means    "He who works will be wise," and we all try to live up to it.

Form 1B Report

 

 

In our form there are fifteen boys and sixteen girls. Many of our form are in the different societies. There are six in the film society including myself, two in the Scientific Society and one in the Dramatic Society, seven in the choir and eight in the Scripture Union. There are two girls in the Nursing Club and several who hope to join. Our form teacher is Miss Taylor and she also teaches us Religious Instruction and sometimes Needlework. Our classroom is very bright and is painted green and cream.

Form 1G Report

There are thirty-one children in 1G, all girls. Our form mistress is Mrs. Pilling who takes us for English and music. We have seven lessons a day including swimming, gym. and games, or rather only swimming and games, as we have no gym. mistress, but instead we have private study. There are several societies in our school such as the Film Society, the Dramatic Society and many others, also the choir, and library. During the year half the class go to needlework and the rest go to cookery. We think our form is one of ths best for bringing charity pennies, because if we miss one week we always bring twopence the next.

Form 2A Report

 

In the dusky depths of the lower hall, in hut 4 (not 29) to be exact, are encamped 2A, a united body striving to the level of better learning, led by our form master Mr. K. Wright. Our little army consists of nineteen boys and eleven girls. A new experience for us this year is the form going on 'split ops.', when one party attacks German and the other Latin (Veni, Vidi, Vici - we hope). Most school societies are patronised by members of the form in off-duty time and a few boys are already playing on the Under 14 Football Team. We can now look back on our first year in G.G.S. and as second formers advance, remembering as the French say, 'Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute.'
