Memories 1943
A Memory of Isleworth.
I was born in Richmond in 1937. Moved to Isleworth in 1940 attended Isleworth Blue School in 1942, then attended Busch School in 1943 until 1944 then returned in 1945 till 1946. I remember Mr Smith, Mr Sutton, Mrs Crow and Miss Burrage who was the headmistress. Mrs May was the apple of every one's eye at that school. In 1946 the school staged The Wizard of Oz, I played the part of a tree and was also a munchkin. In 1947 we did the Micado opera, I was Nanki Poo, Mr Smith played a part in that as well. With help of Miss Burrage we made all our own costumes out of calico and paint. I have a photo of the group of girls in their costumes. It is lovely for me to read the other things people remember as I have been in Australia since 1954 and miss home especially at x'mas time. I can remember a boy named "Mouse " and a boy named "Albury". I also remember Sonya. Best wishes to all past members of Busch house, I am now known as Valerie Parsons.
