Martin Camp School: A memory of Whitegate

Martin Camp School

A Memory of Whitegate.

I was there from 1957-1958 at Lindisfarne Dorm. We all got on very well, had some good fun and laughs together. I loved my art class and spent a lot of time painting and drawing often making birthday cards for my friends. I also remember the table tennis and the swimming pool - the cold water never seemed to bother us then. The long walk into Whitegate to visit church on a Sunday. The cross country runs when we would often hide behind the hedge and sunbathe. We would count the days to the holidays and travel home on the train to the Central. Mam said she could hear us coming over the Tyne Bridge shouting and singing. Yes! Those were special days. Tess Morgan (nee Theresa Wood) known as Terry.

I remember very well the walk to the church on Sunday's we walked in the snow or rain in school uniform for us girls ment skirts no trousers then , and be leave me it was freezing some times , one special memorie I have is when president Kennedy was shot it was my birthday I had loads of cards and gifts a very rare ocerance sent from all my relatives at home , Mr wait came in and gave us the very sad news about president Kennedy then looked straight at me and said and you won't be opening any cards ore gifts today so to this day I'm not sure what I was crying about my gifts ore the loss of a special person , our teacher was agather Kay rather strang oldgirl very strict but the art teacher was super , I also worked on the farm .
