SindySnap… strap 3 pens together for a speedier completion
Mike Guy… SindySnap, me too, 3 different colours just for a bit of fun. This was one from our English (& form teacher in 1963) “Work hard work is a blessing to the soul and character of the man that works. No man is more to be pitied than he who has nothing to do.”
Karen Sweatman… I used to sellotape about 4 pens together too do 4 lines at once!

Ralph Town… I was forced to write out hymn number one in the songs of praise hymn book when at the Elphinstone School. It went….For thy mercy and thy grace, faithful thru another year, hear our song of thankfulness, Father and Redeemer, hear. Now, considering I last wrote that first verse out when I was 10 and I’m now 62, you get some idea of how many times I did it. My greatest achievement in mainstream education, I fear.
Hayley OBrien… Yes I did
