Chatting on a thread yesterday I got reminded of why and how I and many others got kicked out of Latin.......what happened to you?
Apart from that one,my senior school days were a mixed bag..I won a scholarship to a VERY posh school with 2 other girls from different schools.My parents were ecstatic..my whole family were,,and I was mortified,,I thought I'd done little enough NOT to get in. The very first meeting with the HeadMistress,,her bedecked in gown and mortar,ended with her shaking my hand with a vice like grip and whispering 'I've got the measure of you Nicola...let the games begin'' !!!!!!!
