Re: good fun

Like Bill , Frizzie was also feared during my time at school She always carried a book, held between her thumb and palm , and walked down the rows as we bent over doing history and without warning would thwack you on the back of the head if your work was not up to scratch.
I can picture her now ,amazing how this can be after 67yrs.

Current location (optional) Tasmania

Re: good fun

Many's the time I have seen her pull a student out of his desk by the ear or the hair. This time last year we had a visit from Kenneth Clay, ex Haworth, now Silsden and we were talking about Frizzie and how we were scared stiff of her and he recalled an incident where she was in full flight raging on about summat, and in her exasperation at one lad she screamed at him " for two pins I could kill you".(or similar threat) Imagine how she was further enraged when the lad placed two pins on the desk in front of her! Cheers.

She had a peevish streak when she would hide a pencil along her index finger and then poke you in the chest. You thought 'God, what a finger!' and it really hurt. Often you got it for no good reason that I could recall.

A few images were over-written because posters were using duplicate file names. This is now prevented. If the owners of the "missing" images could email them to me I will restore the images.
