Physics exam
There we were in the Physics Lab working on some problem set by Chuck. Chuck for some reason left the room. We continued on the problem. In comes the School secretary with a pile of papers. Asks where Mr Charlton is - we say he's just popped out. She leaves the pile of papers on Chuck's desk. Being the inquisitive souls we were (i.e. nosey) a couple of boys looked at the papers and discovered it was our forthcoming Physics Exam. Cant remember who was posted as look out, but by the time Chuck came back details of every question were in the classes possession and the papers looked pristine on the desk.
Exam came - every one got at least 90% - majority over 95%. School thinks something fishy about results - make all do another paper results the normal distribution for the class.
Miss Fairburn
Miss Fairburn first came to JCS on teaching practice as a student teacher. An attractive 21 year old. She comes into 3G to do some poetry. Her skirt was shortish, her neckline showed some cleavage. We 14 year old testosterone enhanced boys let her know our appreciation. She calms us down. Tells us we would be doing some poetry - asks do we know any poetry. Boy at back hand goes up. "Would you recite it then?" - "Yes miss" - pause, drawing of breath "It is long and thin; covered in skin; Red in Parts; Used in Tarts" - collapse of class into giggles; Miss Fairburn blushes! Boy says "But its a ode to Rhubarb Miss"
Why she came back to teach after getting her Cert Ed - but I do not remember her wearing a low neck line ever again.
