Catherine Holmes 1969 - 1975

My auntie, Catherine Holmes, remembers going to St. Michaels. She started in 1969. There were two infant classes: year 1 and year 2. The year 1 teacher was called Mrs Quinault and the year 2 teacher was called Mrs Nash. The year 1 classroom was heated by a coal fired stove. It had railings around it, on which you could dry your paintings.

Here is also a photo of her -on the right- on her first day at school with her big sister, Juliet.
