I attended Friern School October 1958 to 1962; does anyone remember me? I have fond memories of Friern. I was a frightened little girl who didnt speak the language; Miss Thompson and Mrs Pringle were kind to me; I admired Mrs Pringle and would love to be given the chance to tell her how grateful I am to her; I looked for her when in London this last August but couldnt locate her; Miss Wheeler the History teacher found me my first job. Miss Black the PE teacher and Miss Harper who I feared was the Maths teacher. These two teachers seemed to be friends.They were always walking through the corridors together. Miss Slassor taught me and my sister English after school at her house in Brixton (for two and six pence). There was a teacher of Indian origin cannot remember her name. What was the Science teachers name, the girls used to try and embarrass him during lessons but I couldnt understand... I had a greek friend named Helen who helped me a lot. Alice Williamson who invited me to her house for tea and Joy who let me copy her maths homework! how I envied her cause her mum baked her a cake and was there when she got home from school. Big & sporty Ruby, feared by all, this black girl stuck up for me when I was being picked on one day after school. Shiela/Irene; were are you now??? I have so many memories..
