<p>(L to R) Cerys Pugh and Jennifer Hutcheson at the front door of Dol’rhyd (“Dol”), who were part of a group of us who had been to Dol for tea. It was customary for girls in the Sixth Form to attend different houses for tea. It is unclear what Jennie is holding in this photograph (a metal claw?), but it is clear that it was the source of some amusement.

<p>(L to R): Angela Teague, Barbara Mumby and Margaret Morgan peering over the top of the school bridge, which was covered in graffiti. Words had been daubed in red paint, either side of the school crest. We did not know who was responsible, or why?

<p>On 21 July 1966, Miss Lickes wrote to parents explaining that in an effort to combat ever-rising costs, girls would in future be asked to give more help with the domestic work of the school. I recall drying dishes and cutlery in the kitchen next to the smaller of the two dining rooms, where we had second sittings. She also reminded parents not to send any "contraband" such as sweets, chocolate etc in parcels to girls or to allow them to try to smuggle any in after going out weekends.

Note from Miss Lickes to Sue Crowther:

<p>“I think you've moved the wrong bowl of flowers. I asked for the one on the far side of the Hall to the left. Do you think you could put the remaining one over there after supper, please? Not directly over a radiator. I suggest the 2nd window sill from the drive, on the Tremhyfryd side – that is, overlooking the tennis courts. And could you please tidy it up, and fill up with water, if necessary? Thank you. DBL. “

<p>This is an extract of my autograph book which I was given in Upper Thirds, when I was 11 years old. Most of the entries are too embarrassing to publish today, with the exception of this “Wall of Friendship.” I particularly like the two reserved spots for Elizabeth Chapman and Lynne Moorhouse. We remain friends to this day.

<p>I was 8 years old when I started at Glyn and this was my first dormitory. It was known as the “Baby dormitory.” I recall that three of my roommates were only 6 years old. My bed and “top” (chest of drawers) are marked with an “x”. We were allowed to have a pyjama case, teddy or doll on our beds, and photos and a beaker with our toothbrush and toothpaste in it, on our tops. This photograph also shows the counterpanes with perfect hospital corners, which we learnt from Day 1.

<p>Sue Crowther, aged 10, at the end of her 2nd year at Glyn Malden, Summer Term 1961. The photograph is taken in the field by the playroom (the old stables and tack room), close to a derelict building that we called "the ballroom". This was the field where we built dens and traded in mud pies, which were decorated with rhododendron flowers and set out on small slabs of slate. Usually, we wore dungarees over our school uniform to play in the field.

with my Mum. Parents parked on the tennis courts! This was a rare treat for me as my parents lived in Germany and I usually went home by coach and train.
