Education

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
