Teacher "The teacher was Miss / Mrs Smith. The teacher after her, who took us to the 'Qualy' was Miss Olive Inglis. We gave her a powder compact when we left." |

Bussed from Drylaw "We were bussed every day from the White Church in Drylaw (where we were married in 1968). We were put in the huts out the back of the school, the there was no integration between us & the posh kids. The playground was boy / girl segregated." |
