School Days

A Memory of Tottenham.

Is there anyone that attended Edmonton Secondary Technical School for girls from1956/1958. My name was Holmewood in those days. I remember Miss Evans was the Head Mistress, very strict. It was a sewing school. I wasn't keen on school, but to this day I still sew a lot and remember what I was taught by Miss Howard. Miss Cohn was my English teacher, Miss Bonnie - French, Miss Burgess - writing and Embroidery. I loved the school dinners. I rode my bike most days to school, but also caught the bus along the Great Cambridge Road Then walked down Church Street. I still have my tie and badge off our hat, also the sample embroidery with our name and date embroidered in it. I also have a photo with all the school students and teachers in it (black @ white), dated 1958. School Captain at the time was a Maureen. Some of the girls in my year were Shirley King, Carolyn How, Jennifer Dunne. If anyone can add on to this please do so. Miss Hatchet was History and Geography and when I told her I was going to Australia, she made me point it out on the blackboard to show the class. I left Jan 1959.
