That was in the days when you still had to take your gas mask with you! I remember some of the teachers that have been mentioned on here. I remember Mr. Reid being a kind but strict teacher. There was also a Mr. Dougan who taught French but he strangely disappeared suddenly. Remember too "running the gauntlet" I think I got it,ore than most f
