This is a collection of photographs and reminiscences from the early 1950s providing a historical archive of the life and times of that early period through the eyes of a pupil. That pupil being myself. Comments from former pupils who attended in the 1950s are welcome, or email me at alshalom45@gmail.com. Photographs are produced with kind permission of Mr Paul Walters of Mexborough. The first 44 posts are in reverse order to maintain chronology. Each one is numbered.

No.14 - Special Days of the Year - Easter

Hark, hark, hark! While infant voices sing.

Loud hosannas! loud hosannas! loud hosannas!

To our King.

CHILDREN OF JERUSALEM <<<<<CLICK HERE

Went the chorus of the hymn 'Children of Jerusalem' as we lead up to Easter, preparing our Easter egg baskets with paper straw inside. We would leave them on our tables in class over night to find next morning, white Easter Bunny footprints all over the classroom (cleverly printed by Mr. Parkes, the caretaker – was there no end to this man’s talents?) and a chocolate Easter egg in our baskets.

I remember the white footprints all around the corridors and classrooms and making the little baskets for our chocolate egg.
