School Leaving Year:	1961/62 Lower 6th / Year 12
Memory of Edgware School:	I joined Edgware Secondary in 1956 in the annexe in Burnt Oak. The present school wasn't finished in time for the new term and we eventually moved in in January 1957. It was brand new and very exciting. We often got lost, teachers as well. I loved school. It was a stict but happy place where everyone took pride in their new school and achievements. I was very sporty. I played Hockey for the school and also did well in athletics. Our headmaster was Mr Cook,who sadly died soon after I left. He was a really lovely chap. He always gave me errands to run if I was found outside the classroom for being naughty--which was quite frequent!I wasn't academically very bright, staying down a year for my GCE's.I left with one,cookery,but that was compensated for by the good time I had!! I was also a Prefect in my final year.I would just love to turn the clock back! The teachers I remember were,Mr Cook, Mr Hodgkins,Mrs Porter,Miss Noy,Mr Katanka, Mr Buckingham. Others I can see the faces but can't remember the names.Anyone else out there same time as me? Come on, let's hear from you.I also remember the Queen Mum coming to open the high rise flats next to the school around 1958/59. They were a real novelty then.We were banned from playing in the lifts!
Notes:	After leaving school I went into farming which I did for 5 years.Bad weather,soggy boots and poor pay brought me back to Mill Hill where I went to work at John Lewis in Oxford Street. There I stayed until 1972 when I got married and moved to March in Cambs. I had 2 boys. Rob was born in 1973 and is an Officer in the RAF.He is married and will present me with my first grandchild this November(2001). Ben was born in 1976 and he is a police officer in the Herts. Force. He is single and lives in Hoddesdon.I went to work at Tesco's in 1978 until I was made redundant in 1993. I reached the "heights" of Petrol Station Manager. I divorced in 1992 and remarried in 1997. I had various part time jobs. Vending Machine Operator at Cambridge Regional College,sandwich delivery round the Ind.Estates of St Ives Cambs and cleaner in local sports centre. I ride a motorbike, a Kawasaki GPZ500. I am the original Bikergranny!!I go to the gym and also like swimmimg.I ride a mountain bike.At 5! 6 I'm still very fit and sporty! I live in St Ives near Huntingdon, but wish it could be the one in Cornwall as I also like boogie boarding and go down there as often as I can. I'm just learning a few turns but the surf hasn't been"up" on my last couple of visits!
