Memories And Pictures From
Ex Pupils
Why don't you Email your memories and pictures to
Don't forget it must be the Plaza Secondary School, not the
one at Priestlands.
A couple of anecdotes heard by Roy Jacobs concerning
the reunion; In speaking to Sue Wilkins on the phone,
who sends her regards to everyone, she mentioned that as a child
she always had a season ticket for the swimming pool. "Some
days it was so cold, that Mr Dixon would boil a kettle
of water, pour it into the shallow end and say 'Ok girls, it's
warmer now, in you go' and like lemons we believed him and would
jump in. Brrrr!"
John Jarvis regaled us with memories of the day he ended
up in hospital having attempted a vasectomy, a circumcision
and castration on himself whilst practising hurdle jumping in
the play ground. He said: "The worst part was having to drop
my shorts in the teacher's staff room to show that one in the
hand wasn't as good as two in the bush"
From
Jean Levy . The best memories I have are the snow ball fights
we had with the teachers especially old Cuddy which was name
we all had for him, and the giant slide just outside the entrance
so we could wait for the teachers to come out slipping and sliding
, it was wicked really but so much fun , I wonder if anybody
else remembers , it would be rather good to find out , come
on people rack your brains . I am sure someone can.
