2A Form Report

 

There are twelve girls and twenty boys in our form, which is kept in good behaviour by our Form Master, Mr. Fryer, who takes some of us for Latin.  The majority take German !

Some of the boys represent the under 14 and under 15 school football teams, and one of the girls is in the under 14 rounders team.

The most popular subjects seem to be Mathematics and General Science, but we like most lessons. Most of the form have joined a society in school, or rather, been "pressed" into one by our Form Master.

We are hard-working, I think, and quite happy, but I must confess, we are glad to hear the bell for break, lunch, or end of school.

2B Form Report

 

Our form-room is the science room and Mr. Hilton, who teaches English and Music, is our Form Master.  Several of us are in the school's various societies.  Some of the boys are in the Historical Society, which is going to run a trip to North Wales.

Some of the girls, and boys as well, are in the Film Society.

Michael Slack, a boy in our form, was chosen to play for the school's under 14 football team, and Keith Holt was chosen to swim for Oldham.  There are fourteen boys and sixteen girls in our form making thirty pupils altogether.

3A Form Report

 

Introduction to a Country.

Travellers roaming the Upper Hall Plateau (43 steps above yard level) may think that 3A is an ordinary state.  They would be wrong.  Let me enlighten the unitiated.

Our population at the last census was 30 and our President is Mr. K. Wright.  Still not completely civilised we speak the ancient language of the Gibbers (Gibberish), with bits of English, Latin, French and German thrown in.  It is a problem to decide our principal industry.  We are imposed upon by Doctor Von-Kent to prove which has the greater density, water or our brains, and by Doctor Von-Tempest to make coal gas as a substitute for atomic energy, and at other times we are subjected to indoctrination by the ancient soothsayers of our country.  Our political leaders deported two of our countrymen last term, but three refugees from 2B have found asylum in our state.  Whilst some may think our population carefree, most of its time is spent at hard labour and many live in constant fear of Police Chief Evans and his force.  Our currency is washing powder coupons.  (Note to numismatists and philatelists - we do not mint our own coins nor issue our own stamps).

The national crest depicts a demi-savage-argent, supporting a primed hand-grenade-sable, above our motto, "Let it drop and see what happens".
