Happy School Days

A Memory of Sunbury.

I was a boarder at Beauclerc. I remember well Miss Garlic and Elizabeth who was a wonderful artist. Mr Judd was our choir master and Mamselle Guillione was our french teacher. My best friend there was Edith Evans and I really admired a very pretty talented girl called Vale Valez. I loved to hide under the weeping beech. I remember our cook who used to give me little treats because Edith and I used to peel 15lbs of potatoes every night in the cold scullery. I wonder where she is now? I was very sad when Miss Walters died. I was very fond of her . My last year there I was head girl. I must admit that I hated cleaning the dorms every Saturday morning but it stood me in good stead as I now remember to always "do the corners".
