The Old School Memories
A Memory of Pengam.
I attended Pengam school until 1945, when spotty Willliams was the head master, only a little man but he could swish the cane on you which I remember well. During the war we all had to carry our gas masks with us everywhere, when there was an air raid warning we were billeted out to local households but more often than not we would go playing on the slag heaps, going under the arch to get to them. We used to have school dinners cooked at the scool by Miss Summers and others, it was the best meal of the day in those times of food rationing. School sport was played on the old rubbish dump. I have lived in Australia for the past 48 years but my memories of my school days are still strong.
