It's nice to know that the parents didn't have to pay Linda, not sure if that is always the case though

At our local primary school, the Year 6 children are asked to come to school in their uniform and there is a Leavers' Assembly early in the day. They look very smart.
The children write a few lines each about their memories of their time at the school and they read these out..
There is often a slide show of past events, which prompts a few laughs.

At the end of that ceremony each leaver was given a hoody / sweatshirt with
;Class of 2021' on the back.

Later in the day came the signing of the shirts.

The class of 2021 sweatshirts sound like a good idea Gwyn

I still have mine and my late Mum's autograph books, dating from school days. I wonder if people still collect autographs in these days of modern technology?

There is one I remember from my Mums book


u?op ?pisdn ?ui?i?? ?q

and an elderly Aunt wrote on the last page of mine

Last in your book I have chosen to be
but last in your thoughts would be painful to me


OOps that didn't work, it was written upside down !!

When on this page you gaze
when on this page you stare
think of the one who spoilt it all
by writing upside down
