| A Teenage Salvationist in the 1940s |
|
Went to Hamilton Technical High School; Commercial course
Didn't like secondary school; quite different from primary
Sang in choir; no sports because of heart condition
Equal amount of sports for girls and boys
Boys and girls in segregated classes
Lack of transport made after school activities with friends difficult
Friends at school were different from those in social circle; made friends at church
Ambition was to get a job and earn money
World War Two didn't really effect education
Air raid practices, sirens, shelter in backyard
